Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 2:00 pm (AEDT) on 24 October 2023 as a virtual meeting .

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.

Resolutions

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Resolution 1 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Background

As announced by the Company on 20 June 2023, the Company completed a capital raising of $1,890,409 (before costs) via the issue of 42,963,848 Shares an issue price $0.044 per Share (the Placement ). The Company issued the 42,963,848 Placement Shares utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 42,963,848 Placement Shares, which were issued on 26 June 2023 ( Issue Date ).

All of the 42,963,848 Placement Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of 42,963,848 Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Golden Mile Resources Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

15

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors introduced to the Company by the lead manager to the Placement, Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd. None of the Placement Participants were, or are, related parties of the Company, a member of KMP, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any of them with the exception of substantial holder Rajiv Ramnarayan who subscribed for and was issued 2,431,638 Placement Shares.

  • (b) The Company issued 42,963,848 Placement Shares.

  • (c) The Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 26 June 2023.

  • (e) Each of the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.44 per Share, which raised $1,890,409 (before costs).

  • Exploration of the Quicksilver Primary targets (Primary REE and Disseminated Nickel);

  • Exploration of the highly prospective Yuinmery targets;

The effect of this Resolution is for Shareholders to approve the issue of these 4,500,000 Lead Manager Options to fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the Company to issue these without using the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

An issue of equity securities that is approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 will not use up the Company’s 15% limit and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to approve the issue of the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Lead Manager Options are issued.

If this Resolution is not passed, and the Company proceeds with the issue, the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Lead Manager Options are issued.

Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The allottee is Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd (or their nominee(s)).

  • (b) The maximum number of Unlisted Options to be issued is 4,500,000.

  • (c) The Lead Manager Options are Unlisted Options with an exercise price of $0.08 per Share expiring on the date that is 3 years from their date of issue. The full terms of the Lead Manager Options are set out in Annexure A of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (d) These Lead Manager Options will be issued by within 3 months of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company (or otherwise, as determined by the ASX in the exercise of their discretion).

  • (e) The Lead Manager Options will be offered for nil cash consideration.

Background

Director Role No of Director Options
Grant Button Non-Executive Chair 3,750,000
Francesco Cannavo Non-Executive Director 3,750,000
Damon Dormer CEO and Managing Director 3,750,000
Jordan Luckett Executive Director 3,750,000
Total Director Options 15,000,000

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,750,000 Director Options to Mr Grant Button or his nominee.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,750,000 Director Options to Mr Francesco Cannavo or his nominee.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,750,000 Director Options to Mr Damon Dormer or his nominee.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,750,000 Director Options to Mr Jordan Luckett or his nominee.

Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Options is sought for the purpose of the ASX Listing Rules and all other purposes.

Director recommendation

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 to 6 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Options should Resolutions 3 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 3 to 6 of this Notice.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained in the manner set out in section s217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Director Options (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes

Golden Mile Resources Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

19

a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The issue of Options to related parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the related parties is a related party of the company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Director Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

Messrs Grant Button, Francesco Cannavo, Damon Dormer and Jordan Luckett are people in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue of Director Options does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, Resolutions 3 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Options to Messrs Grant Button, Francesco Cannavo, Damon Dormer and Jordan Luckett under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 3 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issues of Director Options in the proportions set out above, within one month after the date of the Meeting. As Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required for the issue of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options along with the underlying Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Director Options will not deplete the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If any of Resolutions 3 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issues that are the subject of the disapproved Resolutions and the corresponding Directors will not receive the Director Options.

A Vesting Period for a Director Option may, subject to Applicable Laws, be waived by the Board by written notice to the relevant Director and on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board and set out in that notice.

The full terms of the Director Options are set out in Annexure B of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (e) The Director Options will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company (or otherwise, as determined by the ASX in the exercise of their discretion).

  • (f)

  • The Director Options will be offered for nil cash consideration.

  • (g) The issue of Director Options is intended to remunerate and incentivise Messrs Grant Button, Francesco Cannavo, Damon Dormer and Jordan Luckett without requiring further expenditure by the Company, and to further align the Directors’ interests with that of Shareholders. This will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the related parties.

(h) the Director Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Director Options to the related parties subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:

  • (i) the Director Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Director Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Director Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the related parties are not required to immediately sell the Director Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options on the terms proposed;

  • (i) the number of Director Options to be issued to each of the related parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  • (ii) the remuneration of the related parties; and

  • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service/retain the service of the related parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (j) Excluding the Options, the subject of Resolutions 3 to 6, Messrs Grant Button, Francesco Cannavo, Damon Dormer and Jordan Luckett are entitled to the following as part of their current total remuneration package:

Adoption of Employee Incentive Securities Plan

Resolution 7 – Adoption of Employee Incentive Securities Plan

Background

Resolution 7 of this Notice of Meeting seeks Shareholder approval to adopt an employee incentive scheme entitled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Incentive Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 16,469,475 securities under the Incentive plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

A summary of the key terms of the Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure C, and a copy of the rules of the Incentive Plan is available upon request from the Company.

ASX Listing Rules

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders for all purposes under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)), it will have the effect of enabling the securities issued by the Company under the Incentive Plan to be automatically excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period using Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity) during the next three year period.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued

Golden Mile Resources Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

25

under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

The Company advises that Shareholder approval for the Incentive Plan has not been previously sought from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)). Accordingly, this would be the first time that the Company has sought Shareholder approval for the Incentive Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)).

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 16,469,475 securities to eligible participants over a period of 3 years The issue of any Options to eligible participants under the Incentive Plan (up to the maximum number of Options stated above) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Incentive Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Options.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure D; (b) the Company has not issued any Options under the Incentive Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Incentive Plan;

  • (c) the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Incentive Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and

  • (d) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Incentive Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 16,469,475 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of
Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise
of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the

it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this
restriction.

subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares

until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole
discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11)

subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in

person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of
the Company’s issued capital), or the Board determines that such an event
is likely to occur, any vested but unexercised or any unvested Convertible
Securities must be exercised within 30 days of the change of control event.
Any unexercised Convertible Securities will lapse. The Board may specify in

Participation in
entitlements and
bonus issues
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants
will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of
Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
Adjustment for
bonus issue
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an
issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant
is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of
as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the
holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the
Convertible Securities are exercised.
Reorganisation If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of
such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding
Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with
the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of
the reorganisation.
Buy-Back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities
in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share
Trust

exercise of Convertible Securities.
Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any
provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and
conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and
determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective
effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed
before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced
primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest
error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all
Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board
may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or
indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or
suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice
the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that
some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on
a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those
Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company
and the Participant.
