Appointment of a proxy

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy. The proxy may, but need not be, a Shareholder.

The Company encourages Shareholders to appoint the Chair as your proxy. To do so, mark the appropriate box on the Proxy Form. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chair, please write the name of that person in the space provided on the Proxy Form. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair will be your proxy.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may photocopy the Proxy Form.

To appoint a second proxy you must, on each Proxy Form, state (in the appropriate box) the percentage of your voting rights which are the subject of the relevant proxy. If both Proxy Forms do not specify that percentage, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

Corporate Shareholders

Corporate Shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • two directors of the company;

  • a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that director.

Corporate representatives

A body corporate may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act, in which case the Company will require a duly executed certificate of appointment of the corporate representative. The certificate of

8

appointment must be lodged with the Company and/or the Company’s share registry before the Meeting or at the registration desk on the day of the Meeting.

Votes on Resolutions

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in the ‘FOR’, ‘AGAINST’, or ‘ABSTAIN’ box opposite the Resolution. All your votes will be cast in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on the Resolution by inserting the percentage or number of Shares you wish to vote in the appropriate boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes next to a Resolution, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on the Resolution, your vote will be invalid.

Chairperson voting undirected proxies

If the Chairperson is your proxy, the Chairperson will cast your votes in accordance with your directions on the Proxy Form. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the Resolutions, then you expressly authorise the Chairperson to vote your undirected proxies at his/her discretion.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Chairperson intends to vote undirected proxies FOR each of the Resolutions. In exceptional cases the Chairperson’s intentions may subsequently change. In this event, the Company will immediately make an announcement to the market.

Voting entitlement (snapshot date)

For the purposes of determining voting and attendance entitlements at the Meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as holding the Shares 4.00 pm (WST) on 29 January 2025 .

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

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

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1(a) to 2(d)

1.1. Placement

As announced on 20 November 2024, the Company has received firm commitments from sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $19,500,000 (before costs) through the issue of a total of 92,857,143 new Shares ( Placement Shares ) at $0.21 each ( Placement ).

The Placement offer price of $0.21 represents:

  • a 16% discount to the Company’s last closing price on 15 November 2024 (being $0.25 per Share); and

  • a 20% discount to the 15-day VWAP (being $0.262 per Share).

A total of 91,547,619 Placement Shares were applied for by Placement Participants who were not Related Parties ( Non-Related Party Participants ), with an additional 1,309,524 Placement Shares being applied for by Directors ( Related Party Participants ).

All Non-Related Party Participants were Exempt Investors identified by the joint lead managers to the Placement, Euroz Hartleys Limited, Sternship Advisers Pty Ltd and Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Joint Lead Managers ).

1.2. Purpose of capital raising

The purpose of the Placement was to raise funds to be applied towards:

  • exploration and drilling activities at Comet Vale, Vivien and Mulwarrie projects in Western Australia;

  • funding the potential option exercise to acquire the remaining 49% interest in the Comet Vale project;

  • corporate and general working capital;

  • tenement and holding costs at the Labyrinth Gold Project in Canada; and

  • pursuing other strategic opportunities as they emerge.

10

1.3. Issue of Placement Shares

On 27 November 2024, the Company issued 91,547,619 Placement Shares to the NonRelated Party Participants, comprising:

  • 47,132,187 Placement Shares using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity; and

  • 44,415,432 Placement Shares using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A additional issuing capacity.

The issue of the 1,309,524 Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants is conditional on Shareholder approval being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11 (see Section 3 below).

2. RESOLUTIONS 1(a) and 1(b) – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares

2.1. Resolutions

Resolution 1(a) is an ordinary resolution to approve the prior issue of 47,132,187 Placement Shares to Non-Related Party Participants under the Placement on 27 November 2024 using the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 1(b) is an ordinary resolution to approve the prior issue of 44,415,432 Placement Shares to Non-Related Party Participants under the Placement on 27 November 2024 using the Company’s additional issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are separate, ordinary resolutions.

2.2. Listing Rule requirements

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed entity 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 Placement Shares to Non-Related Party Participants does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, as set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 that rule for the 12 months following the date of issue of the relevant Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at an annual general meeting to allow it to issue quoted Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of an entity to subsequently ratify and approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, provided that the issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable). If Shareholders do ratify and approve the issue, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable) and therefore does not reduce the Company’s

11

capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those rules.

If Resolution 1(a) is approved, the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be restored to the extent of the Equity Securities the subject of that Resolution. This will allow the Company to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 47,132,187 Equity Securities in the next 12 months. However, if Resolution 1(a) is not approved, such issuing capacity will not be restored.

If Resolution 1(b) is approved, the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will be fully restored. This will allow the Company to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1A until its next annual general meeting, until 12 months has expired since its 2024 annual general meeting (i.e. 28 November 2025) or Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2, whichever is the earlier. However, if Resolution 1(b) is not approved, the Company’s additional issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will not be restored to the extent of the Placement Shares the subject of that Resolution.

2.3. Listing Rule information requirements

The following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) as required by Listing Rule 7.5:

2.3.1. Names of persons to whom securities were issued to and the basis on which those persons were identified or selected

Non-Related Party Participants, being Exempt Investors identified by the Joint Lead Managers.

None of the Non-Related Party Participants were:

  • a Related Party of the Company;

  • a member of Key Management Personnel; or

  • an adviser to the Company.

Other than Samuel Wilson ATF Sam Wilson A/C and Pilbara Conveyor Supplies Pty Ltd, none of the Non-Related Party Participants was a substantial holder (i.e. a person who has a ‘relevant interest’ (as defined in the Corporations Act) in 5% or more of the Shares on issue).

2.3.2. Number and class of securities issued

91,547,619 Placement Shares, comprising:

  • 47,132,187 Placement Shares issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity; and

  • 44,415,432 Placement Shares issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A additional issuing capacity.

2.3.3. Summary of material terms of securities

The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company which, at the time of issue, rank equally with existing Shares then on issue.

12

2.3.4. Date(s) on which the securities were issued

27 November 2024

2.3.5. Price or other consideration received

$0.21 per Placement Share, totalling approximately $19.22 million (before costs) as follows:

  • approximately $9.90 million (before costs) under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • approximately $9.33 million (before costs) under Listing Rule 7.1A.

2.3.6.

Purpose of issue and use of funds

Please refer to Section 1 for further information regarding the purpose of the Placement and proposed use of funds.

2.3.7. Summary of material terms of agreement securities issued under (if any)

The Placement Shares were issued under the terms and conditions set out in the Subscription Agreement, the material terms and conditions of which are summarised below:

Offer Price per Share $0.21
Offer type Exempt Offer under s708 Corporations Act
Allocation Personal
Conditions Any related party participation subject to prior
shareholder approval.
Ranking All Placement Shares will be listed on ASX
and rank pari passu with the Company’s
existing fully paid Shares
Acceptance Irrevocable
Governing Law New South Wales

The Subscription Agreement contains other terms and conditions customary for an agreement of this nature.

2.3.8. Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement in relation to each of Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) is included in the Notice.

2.4. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) so that the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A are both restored in respect of the Placement Shares issued to Non-Related Party Participants under the Placement. This

13

will give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of Equity Securities, if and as required.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) – Approval to issue Placement Shares to Related Parties

3.1. General

As noted in Section 1.1, Directors, Dean Hely, Simon Lawson, Kelvin Flynn and Alex Hewlett supported the Placement by subscribing for a total of 1,309,524 Placement Shares, either directly or through related entities (i.e. the Related Party Participants).

Each Related Party Participant submitted applications to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Non-Related Party Participants, as follows:

Director Proposed Placement Shares
Dean Hely 357,143
Simon Lawson 238,095
Kelvin Flynn 357,143
Alex Hewlett 357,143

3.2. Resolutions

Resolution 2(a) is an ordinary resolution for Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 357,143 Placement Shares to Dean Hely (or his nominee) under the Placement, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 2(b) is an ordinary resolution for Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 238,095 Placement Shares to Simon Lawson (or his nominee) under the Placement, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 2(c) is an ordinary resolution for Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 357,143 Placement Shares to Kelvin Flynn (or his nominee) under the Placement, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 2(d) is an ordinary resolution for Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 357,143 Placement Shares to Alex Hewlett (or his nominee) under the Placement, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) are separate, ordinary resolutions.

Each of Resolutions 2(a) to 2(d) also seeks approval for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act.

3.3. Corporations Act requirements

3.3.1. Restrictions on Director voting at Board meetings

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company who has a ‘material personal interest’ in a matter being

14

considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered or vote on the matter.

However, section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are insufficient directors to form a quorum at a directors’ meeting because of section 195(1), the directors may call a general meeting of shareholders to consider the matter.

The Board considers it appropriate that Shareholder approval be sought for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to ensure the Board has a sufficient quorum to consider and approve Resolutions 2(a) to 2(d), notwithstanding that all Directors are participating in the Placement.

3.3.2. Related party financial benefits

Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires a public company to obtain the approval of its shareholders before providing a financial benefit to a ‘related party’ of the company for the purposes of the Corporations Act (i.e. a Director), unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within a statutory exception. Any financial benefit approved by shareholders must be provided within 15 months of the approval.

The proposed issue of the Placement Shares to the Directors under the Placement may constitute the giving of a ‘financial benefit’ for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the requirement for shareholder approval where a financial benefit is given to a related party on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length, or the terms are less favourable to the related party than the arm’s length terms.

As the Related Party Participants would participate in the Placement on the same terms as all other Non-Related Party Participants, the ‘arm’s length’ exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act would likely apply. On this basis, approval to issue the Placement Shares to Related Party Participants is not sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

3.4. Listing Rule requirements

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders:

  • 10.11.1 – a Related Party (including a director and a person who will become a director);

  • 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 entity;

  • 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 entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

15

  • 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 entity 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 security holders.

Each of the Related Party Participants is a Related Party of the Company under the Listing Rules. The issue of the Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants under the Placement falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, but does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Accordingly, the issue of Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If any of Resolutions 2(a) to 2(d) is approved, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Placement Shares to the relevant Related Party Participant (or their nominee) under the Placement. As approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If any of Resolutions 2(a) to 2(d) are not approved, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares under that Resolution and will refund any application moneys to the relevant Related Party Participant without interest.

3.5. Listing Rule information requirements

As partial consideration for the purchase of the share capital of Admiral, the Company agreed to issue Genesis with such number of Shares with a deemed issue price of $0.21 (being the same issue price as under the Placement) ( Consideration Shares ) equal to $3,750,000.

4.2. Resolution

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution to ratify and approve the prior issue of 17,857,143 Consideration Shares to Genesis on 29 November 2024 using the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

An overview of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above at Section 2.2. The issue of Consideration Shares to Genesis does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, as set out in Listing Rule 7.2.

18

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of an entity to subsequently ratify and approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, provided that the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.

If Resolution 3 is approved, the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be restored to the extent of the Equity Securities the subject of that Resolution. This will allow the Company to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 17,857,143 Equity Securities in the next 12 months. However, if Resolution 3 is not approved, such issuing capacity will not be restored.

4.4. Listing Rule information requirements

6.4. Corporations Act requirements

As set out above at Section 3.3.2, section 208(1) of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires a public company to obtain the approval of its shareholders before providing a financial benefit to a ‘related party’ of the company for the purposes of the Corporations Act (i.e. a Director), unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within a statutory exception.

The proposed issue of the Performance Rights to Dean Hely and Simon Lawson would constitute the giving of a ‘financial benefit’ for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit to a Related Party of a company in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the company’s and the Related Party’s circumstances.

After benchmarking against comparable remuneration packages for non-executive directors of other comparable companies of a similar size and nature, the Directors to which Performance Rights are not proposed to be issued in respect of each Resolution (being the members of the Board eligible to consider the matter) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the relevant Resolution, on the basis that the Performance Rights for which approval is being sought constitute reasonable remuneration within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

6.5. Listing Rule requirements

An overview of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 3.4 above.

Dean Hely and Simon Lawson are each a Related Party of the Company under the Listing Rules. The issue of the Performance Rights to Dean Hely and Simon Lawson fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1, but does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to Dean Hely and Simon Lawson requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If either of Resolutions 5(a) or 5(b) is approved, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights to the relevant Director (or their nominee). As approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

24

If either of Resolutions 5(a) or 5(b) are not approved, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights under that Resolution.

6.6. Listing Rule information requirements

The following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) as required by Listing Rule 10.13:

  • 6.6.6. Price or other consideration the Company will receive

The Performance Rights have an issue and exercise price of nil. Accordingly, the Company will not raise any funds from the issue or exercise of the Performance Rights.

  • 6.6.7. Purpose of the issue and intended use of funds raised

The purpose of the issue of Performance Rights to Dean Hely and Simon Lawson is to provide those non-executive directors with a cost-effective incentive which aligns them with the long-term company success while preserving the Company’s cash reserves and allowing the Company to

25

apply a greater portion of its available cash on its operations (as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as cash compensation).

6.6.8. Remuneration of related party

The remuneration package of each of Dean Hely and Simon Lawson is set out below.

Director Value of Performance Rights ($)
Dean Hely $184,000
Simon Lawson $368,000

Resolution 5(b) – Issue of Performance Rights to Simon Lawson

The Board (excluding Mr Lawson who has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution and declines to make a recommendation)

26

recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5(b) to permit the Company to issue the Performance Rights to Simon Lawson.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – Change of name of Company

7.1. Resolution

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to change the name of the Company to “Gorilla Gold Mines Ltd” and to modify the Constitution by replacing all references therein to “Labyrinth Resources Limited” with references to “Gorilla Gold Mines Ltd”.

The proposed name and ASX trading code “GG8” has been reserved by the Company.

The Resolution is a special resolution and accordingly, must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the Resolution.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

7.2. Corporations Act requirements

Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name only if shareholders approve the change by a special resolution.

Section 136 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may adopt, modify or repeal its constitution if the company passes a special resolution.

The Board proposes to change the name of the Company on the basis that it considers the change is reflective of the Company’s recent transformation and new strategic focus.

Accordingly, the Directors are seeking approval of Shareholders to change the Company’s name from “Labyrinth Resources Limited” to “Gorilla Gold Mines Ltd” and to modify the Constitution on the basis set out above in Section 7.1.

The change of the Company’s name will, pursuant to section 157 of the Corporations Act, only take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration to reflect the change of name.
