Resolutions

ResolutionApproval to issue 55,425,000 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1

The background of the Placement is set out in this Explanatory Statement.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 55,425,000 Placement Shares.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the 55,425,000 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company can proceed to issue the 55,425,000 Placement Shares without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 55,425,000 Placement Shares. As at the date of this Notice, the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity to issue the 55,425,000 Placement Shares. Accordingly, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue if Resolution 1 is not passed unless it has sufficient placement capacity following the Meeting.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • The 55,425,000 Placement Shares will be issued to the participants in the placement who include new and existing shareholders, sophisticated and professional investors and clients of the Lead Manager who are not related parties of the Company, The Company’s Exploration Manager, Martin Dormer (or his nominee), has subscribed for 5,000,000 shares and the Company Secretary, Justyn Stedwell (or his nominee), has subscribed for 2,400,000 Shares. No other KPM, substantial shareholders or advisors to the Company will receive Shares pursuant to this Resolution 1.

  • A maximum of 55,425,000 Placement Shares will be issued pursuant to this Resolution.

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

  • The 55,425,000 Placement Shares are ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares.

  • The 55,425,000 Placement Shares are being issued at an issue price of $0.01 per Share and funds raised will be used for working capital purposes and to fund the drilling and exploration programme at the Company’s Pearl Copper Project, located in Arizona, USA.

Background

Resolution 3 (a), (b) and (c) – Approval to issue Director Placement Securities

General

The background to the Placement is set out previously in the Explanatory Statement.

The Directors wish to participate in the Placement to the extent of subscribing for up to 16,000,000 Director Placement Shares and 8,000,000 Director Placement Options to raise up to $160,000 (before costs) in the following proportions:

$25,000 2,500,000 1,250,000
TOTAL $160,000 16,000,000 8,000,000

Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees).

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

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

13

  • an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

The Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising up to $160,000 (before costs).

If Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities and will not receive the additional $160,000 (before costs) committed by the Directors.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:

  • The Director Placement Securities will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the manner set out in the previous table in the Explanator Statement for this Resolution.

  • Each of the Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • A maximum of 16,000,000 Director Placement Shares and 8,000,000 Director Placement Options will be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominees) in the proportions set out below:

  • The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • The Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.02 each and will expire 3 years from the date of issue. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 1.

  • The Director Placement Securities will be issued within one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.01 each, being the same issue price as other Placement Shares and will raise $160,000 (before costs).

  • The Director Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares (on a one Option for every two Shares basis). Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options. Any funds raised upon exercise of the Director Placement Options will be used to fund drilling and exploration expenditure and for general working capital purposes.

  • Funds raised from the issue of Director Placement Shares will be used for working capital purposes and to fund the drilling and exploration programme at the Company’s Pearl Copper Project, located in Arizona, USA.

  • There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities. The Director Placement Securities will not be issued pursuant to an agreement.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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

15

is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.

The Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Placement Securities to Shareholders to resolve.

Additional information

Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) are separate ordinary resolutions.

The non-participating Director recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c). Damon Dormer, Francesco Cannavo and Grant Button make no recommendation because of their personal interest in the Resolutions.

Resolution 4 - Approval to issue 12,000,000 Lead Manager Options

Background

The background of the Placement and Lead Manager Options is set out previously in this Explanatory Statement.

The Lead Manager to the Placement is Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Limited (Lead Manager).

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the 12,000,000 Lead Managers Options.

Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 is set out previously in this Explanatory Statement.

The issue of Equity Securities including Performance Rights to executives and directors as a form of incentive-based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by executives and directors to improve the performance and value of the Company to the commercial benefit of all Shareholders.

These Director Performance Rights are intended to provide remuneration that is linked to the performance of the Company in the future. The benefit would only be received from a Performance Right if the specified performance milestone is achieved.

Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the incentive-based remuneration noted above, represented by the issue of the Director Performance Rights, is a cost effect and efficient reward and incentive to provide, as opposed to the payment of cash compensation only.

The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified executives and board members in a competitive market.

As at 12 November 2024, each Class A Performance Right has been valued by the Company at an estimated value of $0.0098 and each Class B Performance Right has been valued by the Company

*Excludes the value of Directors Performance Rights which are the subject of Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) inclusive.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party. The issue Directors Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Directors are a related party by virtue of being a Directors of the Company.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Director Performance Rights because the Director Performance Rights form part of the Directors remuneration as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given the Directors circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.

Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of these Director Performance Rights to Directors and/or their nominee as the issue of these securities constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.

The Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Shareholders to resolve.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of equity securities to a related party of a listed company unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Each of the Directors is a related party of the Company, by virtue of being a Director, and approval for an issue of securities to a related parry is required under Listing Rule 10.11.1. It is the view of

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

the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Therefore, approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 for the issue of the 11,000,000 Director Performance Rights noted above.

Once approval is obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Company is entitled to rely on ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
