Dear Shareholder,

ORMINEX LIMITED ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – NOTICE OF MEETING

It is my pleasure to invite you to the 2021 Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) of Orminex Limited (ASX: ONX) ( ONX or the Company ), which follows a successful and exciting period for the Company and is highlighted by the transformational acquisition of two high grade gold projects in the world-class Abitibi Belt of Quebec, Canada.

The resolutions of the AGM intend to allow Orminex to immediately commence on a growth pathway aligned with our strategy of owning, exploring and operating high-grade gold deposits in Tier-1 jurisdictions, as well as enabling us to continue to build a high performing team that can capitalise on further growth opportunities as they present.

This includes the proposal to change the name of your Company to Labyrinth Resources Limited, which we believe aligns with our intent and proven ability to ‘solve the puzzle’ and unlock substantial value from significant gold deposits, as well as reflecting the name of the impressive gold-hosting structure of the mining project in Quebec to be acquired.

The AGM of Orminex will be held at 11:00am (AWST) on Friday, 29 October 2021 at Level 20, 1 William Street, Perth WA 6000 (the Meeting ).

In accordance with the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021 (Cth) , the Company is not sending hard copies of the Notice of Meeting to shareholders. The Notice of Meeting can be viewed and downloaded from the Company’s website at (https://www.orminex.com.au) or on the Company’s ASX market announcements page.

If you have nominated an email address and have elected to receive electronic communications from the Company, you will also receive an email to your nominated email address with a link to an electronic copy of the Notice of Meeting.

The Company is continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 virus in Western Australia and following guidance from the Federal and State Governments. Based on the information available to the Board at this time, the Directors have made the decision that a physical meeting will be held. Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to attend the Meeting in person.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affects the position above, the Company will provide an update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an ASX announcement.

The Company strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting and questions should also be submitted in advance of the Meeting. However, votes and questions may also be submitted during the Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

1. RESOLUTION 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes are cast against the adoption of Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a reasonable (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting, the votes against the Remuneration Report were less than 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution. As such, Shareholders do not need to consider a spill resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties may not vote on this Resolution, and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chairperson and expressly authorises the Chairperson to exercise the proxy. The Chairperson will use any such proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – Re-Election of a Director

2.1. General

Clause 14.2 of the Constitution of the Company requires that one third (or the number nearest to one-third) of Directors (excluding the Managing Director and any Directors appointed casually by the Board under clause 14.4 of the Constitution) must retire at each annual general meeting, provided that no Director (except the Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting themselves for reelection.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.

Under the Constitution, Directors who are appointed at any time other than in a general meeting are not taken into account in deciding the rotation or retirement of Directors under clause 14.2 of the Constitution. Accordingly, Mr Michael Foulds retires by rotation and, being eligible, seeks re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Foulds will continue as a Director of the Company.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Foulds will not continue as a Director of the Company.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – Approval of issue of Shares under Canaccord Share Placement

4.1. Background – the Acquisition

As announced to ASX on 2 September 2021, the Company has entered into a binding agreement with Nippon Dragon Resources Inc., a Canadian entity listed on the TSX-V, to acquire its Rocmec and Denain gold projects located in Quebec, Canada (the Acquisition ).

4.2. Placement

In order to raise the necessary capital to complete the Acquisition, as announced to ASX on 2 September 2021, the Company conducted a placement to professional and sophisticated investor clients of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) ( Canaccord ) ( Canaccord Share Placement ).

Under the Placement, the Company proposes to issue 266,666,667 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 each to raise up to $8 million.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution and seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement.

4.3. Requirement for Shareholder approval

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 Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement does not fall within any of these exceptions, and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To that end, Resolution 4 is an ordinary Resolution seeking approval by Shareholders for the issue to the placees under the Canaccord Share Placement who are not Related Parties of the Company. Three of the Company’s Directors also elected to participate under the Canaccord Share Placement, and Shareholder approval for their participation is separately sought under Resolutions 6, 7, and 8.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement and raise the capital necessary to complete the Acquisition. In addition, the issue 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.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement and may not be able to proceed with the Acquisition.

4.4. Listing Rule information requirements

(a) Names of the persons being issued securities or basis on which they were identified

The Canaccord Share Placement Shares are proposed to be issued to various professional and sophisticated investor clients of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466). Canaccord identified participants from its existing client base using industry-standard capital raising practices.

Resolution 4 only seeks approval for the issue to the placees under the Canaccord Share Placement who are not Related Parties of the Company. Three of the Company’s Directors also elected to participate under the Canaccord Share Placement, and Shareholder approval for their participation is separately sought under Resolutions 6, 7, and 8.

The Company notes that there is no person of the kind described in section 7.2 on page 39 of ASX Guidance Note 21 who will be issued with more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital and whose identity is therefore considered to be material.

(b) Number and class of the securities to be issued

A maximum of 266,666,667 Shares will be issued to the Canaccord Share Placement Participants pursuant to Resolution 4.

Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 separately seek shareholder approval for three of the Company’s Directors to participate in the Canaccord Share Placement to a combined total of 19,333,334 Shares (to raise $580,000). The Company confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that a maximum of 266,666,667 Shares (to raise $8 million) will be issued under the entire Canaccord Share Placement. Therefore, if Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 are approved, only 247,333,333 Shares will be issued pursuant to Resolution 4.

The Canaccord Share Placement Shares will be fully-paid ordinary Shares in the Company which will rank equally with all Shares then on issue.

(c) The date of issue

The Company anticipates that the Canaccord Share Placement Shares will be issued shortly following the conclusion of the Meeting, and no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

(d) Price or consideration the Company will receive for the issue

The Canaccord Share Placement Shares are proposed to be issued to Canaccord Share Placement Participants at a price of $0.03 per Share.

(e) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement

The Canaccord Share Placement Shares are not being issued pursuant to an agreement.

(f) Purpose of the issue and intended use of the funds

The Canaccord Share Placement is being made so as to support the Acquisition. As set out in the Company’s announcement of 2 September 2021, the funds raised under the Canaccord Placement and the SPP will be used for the acquisition of the Rocmec and Denain tenements, for the exploration commitment under the Acquisition Agreement, to pay the costs of the offers, and for exploration, development, and working capital.

4.5. Directors’ recommendation

Messrs Hely, Ashton, and Graham decline to make a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote in respect of Resolution 4 as they are each entitled, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 6, 7, and 8, to participate in the Canaccord Share Placement. The remaining Director, Mr Michael Foulds, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5.

RESOLUTION 5 – Approval to issue Lead Manager Options

5.1. Background

On 23 August 2021, the Company entered into a lead manager mandate with Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) ( Canaccord ) under which Canaccord agreed to act as lead manager in relation to the Capital Raising Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval of Shareholders to grant Broker Options to Canaccord ( Lead Manager Options ).

5.3. Requirement for Shareholder approval

The effect of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at paragraph 4.3 above.

The issue of Lead Manager Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To that end, Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue 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.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Resolution 5 is conditional on the passage of Resolution 4. If Resolution 4 is not passed, Resolution 5 cannot pass.

5.4. Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

(a) Names of persons being issued securities or basis on which they were identified

The Lead Manager Options are to be issued to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) of c/- Mutual Trust Pty Ltd, Level 32, 360 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000.

(d) The date of issue

The Company anticipates that the Lead Manager Options will be issued shortly following the conclusion of the Meeting, and no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

(e) Price or consideration the Company will receive for the issue

The Lead Manager Options will be issued for nil cash consideration in consideration for services performed under the Lead Manager Mandate.

(f) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement

The Lead Manager Options are being issued pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the material terms of which are summarised at Schedule 2.

(g) Purpose of the issue and intended use of funds

The Lead Manager Options are being issued so as to facilitate the Capital Raising. As above, nil funds will be raised from the issue of the Lead Manager Option.

5.5. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 as it will enable the Company to grant the Lead Manager Options in satisfaction of its obligations under its contract with Canaccord and will preserve the Company’s cash reserves.

6. RESOLUTIONS 6, 7, AND 8 – Approval to for Directors to participate under Canaccord Share Placement

6.1. Background

As described in paragraph 4.1 above, the Company proposes to place up to 266,666,667 Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement.

Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 are ordinary resolutions seeking approval by Shareholders for Mr Dean Hely and Mr Norman (Mel) Ashton, each directors of the Company, and Mr Ross Graham, an alternate Director of the Company, to participate under the Canaccord Share Placement.

Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 are each conditional on the passage of Resolution 4. If Resolution 4 is not passed, Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 cannot pass.

6.2. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires that, where a public company proposes to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the public company must:

  • obtain the approval of the company’s members in accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act in the manner set out in sections 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 issue of Shares to a Director (or their nominee) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. Messrs Hely, Ashton, and graham are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors or Alternate Directors.

The Directors (other than with regards to the Resolution pursuant to which they may be issued Shares Canaccord Share Placement) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of their participation, because the Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) on the same terms as those issued to non-Related Parties under the Canaccord Share Placement (in particular, that the subscription price of $0.03 per Share will be the same for all participants), and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms for the purposes of the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

6.3. Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances.

Relevantly, section 195(4) provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of the restriction set out in section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, for the purpose of transparency and for best practice corporate governance, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the proposal to issue Shares to the Directors under the Canaccord Share Placement, and the reliance on the arms’ length exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6.4. ASX 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:

10.11.1 a related party;

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

  • 10.11.3 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 give them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed participation of related parties Mr Dean Hely, Mr Norman (Mel) Ashton, and Mr Ross Graham in subscribing for Shares under the Canaccord Share Placement falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

6.5. Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 6, 7, and 8:

(a) Name of the person to whom securities may be issued

  • (i) Resolution 6 — Mr Dean Hely, a Director of the Company, or his nominee.

  • (ii) Resolution 7 — Mr Norman (Mel) Ashton, a Director of the Company, or his nominee.

  • (iii) Resolution 8 — Mr Ross Graham, an alternate Director of the Company, or his nominee.

  • (b) Which category in Listing Rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the person falls within and why :

Each of Messrs Hely, Ashton, and Graham fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as they are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and alternate Directors of the Company.

(c) Number and class of securities to be issued to the person :

  • (i) Resolution 6 – a maximum of 1,666,667 Shares;

  • (ii) Resolution 7 – a maximum of 1,666,667 Shares; and

  • (iii) Resolution 8 – a maximum of 16,000,000 Shares.

(f) The price or other consideration the Company will receive for the issue

An issue price of $0.03 each Share.

(g) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised

The purpose of the issue is to raise funds in accordance with the Canaccord Share Placement.

(h) If the issue is intended to remunerate or incentivise a director, details of their current total remuneration package :

The proposed issues under Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 are not being made to remunerate or incentivise any Director, alternate Director, or any of their Associates.

(i) If the securities are issued under an agreement, a summary of its material terms :

The Shares are not being issued pursuant to an agreement.

6.6. Directors’ recommendation

Mr Dean Hely, Mr Norman (Mel) Ashton, and Mr Ross Graham have material personal interests in the outcome of Resolutions 6, 7, and 8 and therefore decline to make any recommendation in relation to Resolutions 6, 7, and 8. Mr Michael Foulds, the other Director of the Company, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6, 7, and 8.

7. RESOLUTION 9 – Approval of issue of Shares under Share Purchase Plan

7.1. Background

As announced to ASX on 2 September 2021, the Company proposes to offer a share purchase plan to its ordinary shareholders to issue a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 each (being the same issue price as under the Canaccord Share Placement) to raise up to $1,500,000 ( SPP ).

The SPP will allow each shareholder with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Holders ) to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of securities under the SPP via Resolution 9 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2. Requirement for Shareholder approval

The effect of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at paragraph 4.3 above.

The issue of Shares under the SPP does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

In particular, Listing Rule 7.2 exception 5 will likely not apply to the SPP, since the issue price of $0.03 per share will likely be less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares over the 5 days in which sales were recorded before the day the issue was announced or on which the issue was made.

To that end, Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the SPP. In addition, the issue 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.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the SPP.

7.3. Listing Rule information requirements

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

(a) Names of the persons being issued securities or basis on which they were identified

The SPP is proposed to be offered to Eligible Holders, being holders of ordinary shares in the Company with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.

(b) Number and class of the securities to be issued

Up to 50,000,000 Shares will be issued to the Eligible Holders pursuant to Resolution 9.

The SPP Shares will be fully-paid ordinary Shares in the Company which will rank equally with all Shares then on issue.

(c) The date of issue

The Company anticipates that the SPP Shares will be issued on or about 29 October 2021, and in any case, no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

(d) Price or consideration the Company will receive for the issue

The SPP Shares are proposed to be issued to Eligible Holders at a price of $0.03 per Share.

(e) Purpose of the issue and intended use of the funds

The SPP is being made so as to support the Acquisition. As set out in the Company’s announcement of 2 September 2021, the funds raised under the Canaccord Placement and the SPP will be used for the acquisition of the Rocmec and Denain tenements, for the exploration commitment under the Acquisition Agreement, to pay the costs of the offers, and for exploration, development, and working capital.

7.4. ASX Waivers

In accordance with its policy as set out in Guidance Note 17 Waivers and In-Principle Advice , ASX has granted the Company standard waivers from the following Listing Rules:

  • (a) Listing Rule 7.3.9, to permit the resolution in the notice of meeting approving the issue of securities under the SPP not to include a voting exclusion statement that excludes votes in favour of the resolution by any person who may participate in the SPP or any associate of such a person; and

  • (b) concurrently, Listing Rule 10.11, to permit directors of the Company and their associates to participate in the SPP on the same terms as other shareholders without the approval of the holders of ordinary securities under that rule.

7.5. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

8. RESOLUTION 10 – Approval to issue Securities under Employee Incentive Scheme

8.1. Background

As part of its incentive arrangements for Directors and employees, the Board has resolved to establish an Employee Incentive Scheme ( Scheme ). The Scheme is governed by the Employee Incentive Scheme Rules ( Rules ).

Pursuant to the Scheme, the Board may resolve to grant any of the following incentives:

  • (a) Shares;

  • (b) options to subscribe for Shares ( Options ); or

  • (c) performance rights entitling the holder to be issued Shares upon the satisfaction of certain milestones ( Performance Rights ),

to any person who is an employee (whether full-time, part-time, or casual), a Director, or a contractor of the Company or any of its Related Bodies Corporate, in accordance with the Rules and otherwise on the terms and conditions set by the Board at its discretion.

The objectives of the Scheme are to:

  • (a) establish a method by which eligible persons can participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company;

  • (b) provide an incentive and reward for eligible persons for their contribution to the Company; and

  • (c) attract and retain a high standard of managerial and technical personnel for the benefit of the Company.

A summary of the terms of the Scheme is set out at Schedule 1. A copy of the Rules is available on the Company’s website at orminex.com.au.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval of the Scheme for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.

8.2. Applicable Listing Rules

The effect of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at paragraph 4.3 above.

Securities issued pursuant to an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 as set out in Listing Rule 7.2 are not counted for the purposes of the limit in Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 provides that shareholders may approve the issue of equity securities under an employee incentive scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. If such approval is obtained, Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of equity securities in the company made under an employee incentive scheme within three years of the approval, so long as the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the notice of meeting which sought the approval.

Accordingly, Resolution 10 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the Scheme over the three-year period following the Meeting.

If Resolution 10 is passed, any issue of securities under the Scheme will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of any securities under the Scheme.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, any issue of securities under the Scheme will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of any securities under the Scheme.

8.3. Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:

(a) Summary of the terms of the Scheme

A summary of the terms of the Scheme is set out at Schedule 1.

(b) Number of securities issued under the Scheme since the last approval

This is the first time that the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Scheme, and to date the Company has not yet issued any securities under the Scheme.

(c) Maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Scheme following approval

The Company proposes to issue a maximum of 43,000,000 equity securities under the Scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 in the three years following the receipt of Shareholder approval under this Resolution 10.

8.4. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors decline to make a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote in respect of Resolution 10 as they are each entitled to participate in the Scheme (though it is noted that any such participation is not currently being proposed and would be conditional on Shareholder approval).

9. RESOLUTIONS 11, 12, 13, and 14 – Approval to grant Options to Directors

9.1. Background

The Company proposes to issue the following securities to its Directors:

  • (a) 5,000,000 Options to Mr Dean Hely, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company (or his nominee);

  • (b) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Norman (Mel) Ashton, a Non-Executive Director of the Company (or his nominee);

  • (c) 5,000,000 Options to Mr Michael Foulds, a Non-Executive Director of the Company (or his nominee); and

  • (d) 5,000,000 Options to Mr Ross Graham, an alternate Director of the Company (or his nominee).

Approval of the grant of Options to each of Messrs Hely, Ashton, Foulds, and Graham is sought under Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14.

If Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options as a way to remunerate, incentivise and align the interests of Messrs Hely, Ashton, Foulds, and Graham with the financial success of the Company.

If any of Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options under that Resolution. In such a scenario, the Company may have to remunerate Messrs Hely, Ashton, Foulds, and Graham with cash payments, which will mean less cash for the Company to direct towards its projects and working capital.

9.2. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires that, where a public company proposes to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the public company must:

  • obtain the approval of the company’s members in accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act in the manner set out in sections 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 issue of Options to a Director (or their nominee) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a Related Party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

9.3. Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances.

Relevantly, section 195(4) provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of the restriction set out in section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, for the purpose of transparency and for best practice corporate governance, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14 in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the proposal to issue Options to the Directors.

9.4. Information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act

  • (ii) Resolution 12 – Mr Michael Foulds, a Non-Executive Director of the Company (or his nominee);

9.7. Director’s Recommendation

Each recipient of the Options contemplated by Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14 is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

Accordingly, Messrs Hely, Ashton, Foulds and Graham have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 11, 12, 13, and 14 respectively and therefore decline to give a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote on the Resolutions.

10. RESOLUTION 15 – Approval of issue of Options to Corporate Advisor

10.1. Background

Resolution 15 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval of Shareholders to grant Options to Max Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 152 214 956) ( Max Capital ), a corporate advisor of the Company.

10.2. Agreement to issue Options

Under the engagement letter with Max Capital dated 16 August 2021, in return for the provision of corporate advice to the Company relating to the Placement and SPP, the Company agreed to issue Max Capital 2,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.045 and expiring 3 years from the grant date.

Under the terms of the engagement letter, Max Capital was to provide the following services to the Company in exchange for the issue of the Options:

  • Assist the Board with respect to the size, timing, and structure of the Placement and SPP.

  • Assist the Board with the selection of an appropriate lead manager for the Placement and SPP.

  • Review and advise on mandate letters and fee arrangements proposed to the Company by the lead manager candidates.

  • Assisting the Company with its strategy (in conjunction with the lead manager) to find potential investors for the Placement and SPP.

  • Assistance with the preparation and review of the marketing materials for the Placement and SPP.

In consideration for these services, Max Capital is to be paid:

  • a cash fee of 0.75% of the total funds raised under the Placement; and

  • the right to subscribe for 2,500,000 Options at $0.000001 per Option, exercisable at $0.045 to the Placement price, exercisable within 3 years from the date of issue.

10.3. Requirement for Shareholder approval

The effect of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at paragraph 4.3 above.

The issue of the Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To that end, Resolution 15 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 15 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options. In addition, the issue 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

If Resolution 15 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.

10.4. Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 15:

(a) Names of persons being issued securities or basis on which they were identified

The Options are to be issued to Max Capital (or its nominee).

  • (b)

Number of securities to be issued

2,500,000 Options are to be issued.

(c) If the securities are not fully-paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities

Each Option has an exercise price of $0.045, an expiry date of 3 years from the date of grant and is otherwise granted on the terms set out in Schedule 4.

(d) The date of issue

The Company anticipates that the Options will be issued shortly following the conclusion of the Meeting, and no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

(e) Price or consideration the Company will receive for the issue

The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration in consideration for corporate advisory services performed by Max Capital.

(f) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue

The purpose of the issue is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the engagement letter with Max Capital, under which Max Capital will provide corporate advisory services to the Company and the material terms of which are summarised in section 10.2 above. A de minimus total of $2.50 will be raised by the issue of Options to Mr King.

(g) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement

The Options are being issued pursuant to the engagement letter with Max Capital, the material terms of which are summarised in section 10.2 above.

(h)

Purpose of the issue and intended use of funds

As above, nil funds will be raised from the issue of the Options.

10.5. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15 as it will enable the Company to grant the Options in satisfaction of its obligations under its agreement with Max Capital and will preserve the Company’s cash reserves.

11. RESOLUTION 16 – Ratification of issue of Performance Rights

11.1. Background

On 18 June 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to issue Performance Rights as long term incentives for employees and key consultants.

The Performance Rights were issued to Ms Kelly Moore, Company Secretary of the Company and Mr Matt Nixon, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, by the Company using its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Subsequent ratification of this issue by Shareholders is sought under Resolution 16.

11.2. Requirement for Shareholder approval

As described above, the Company has issued a total of 12,800,000 Performance Rights to Ms Moore and Mr Nixon using its issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 16 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the ratification of the issue of the Performance Rights.

The effect of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at paragraph 4.3 above.

The issue of Performance Rights does not fall within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit of 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 from the issue date of the Performance Rights.

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 that rule.

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.

To this end, Resolution 16 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 16 is passed, the issue of the Performance Rights will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in 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 16 is not passed, the issue of the Performance Rights will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

11.3. Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 16:

(a) Names of persons being issued securities or basis on which they were identified

(i) Ms Kelly Moore, the Company Secretary of the Company; and (ii) Mr Matt Nixon, the Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

(b) Number of securities issued

(i) 1,200,000 Performance Rights were issued to Ms Kelly Moore; and (ii) 11,600,000 Performance Rights were issued to Mr Matt Nixon.

The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares then on issue.

(c) If the securities are not fully-paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities

Each Performance Right is granted on the terms set out in Schedule 3.

(d)

The date of issue

The Performance Rights were issued by the Company to each of Ms Moore and Mr Nixon on 18 June 2021.

(e) The price at which the securities were issued

The Performance Rights were issued for nil cash consideration.

(f) Purpose of the issue and intended use of funds

The Performance Rights were issued to incentivise Ms Moore and Mr Nixon as key members of the Company’s operational team without using up the Company’s cash reserves. As above, nil funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights.

11.4. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 16 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities if and as required.

12. RESOLUTION 17 – Change of Name

12.1. Background

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name. Resolution 17 seeks the approval of Shareholders to change the name of the Company to “Labyrinth Resources Limited”.

The Board proposes that change of name on the basis that it believes the proposed name more accurately reflects the future operations of the Company.

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company and if Resolution 17 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting on order to effect the change.

Resolution 17 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

If Resolution 17 is passed, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alter the details of the Company’s registration.

If Resolution 17 is not passed, the Company’s name will not be changed.

12.2. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 17.

13. RESOLUTION 18 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

13.1. General

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An “eligible entity” means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 18 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

If Resolution 18 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 18 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 18 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

13.2. Description of Listing Rule 7.1A and information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

(a) Shareholder Approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company has one class of quoted equity securities on issue, being ordinary shares (ASX Code: ONX).

(c) Formulae for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that become fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning given in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under the Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

13.3. Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before:

(a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

13.4. 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires the earlier to occur of:

(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which approval is obtained; or

(b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

13.5. Other Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:

If Resolution 18 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100% and the voting dilution impact of such an increase. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) Variable 'A' in the above table is calculated with reference to the total shares on issue at the date of this Notice.

  • (b) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (c) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (d) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (e) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused by their own shareholding depending on the specific circumstances.

  • (f) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (g) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (h) The current issue price is $0.043, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 21 September 2021.

  • (i) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 18 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition). In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (b) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the acquisition of new assets and investments, corporate and administration and working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities. The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.

The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors set out in the Company’s allocation policy, including but not limited to the following:

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The recipients under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be vendors of the new assets or investments.

The Company obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020. During the 12 month period preceding the date of this Meeting, the Company did not otherwise issue any Shares.

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

  • (a) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (b) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

13.6. Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 18.
