Resolution 12 – Approval to Bizzell Capital Partners Pty Ltd or its nominee(s). Issue Shares and Options Resolution 13 – Approval of Persons who may participate in the proposed issue and a person who might obtain a 10% Placement Facility benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity as a holder of ordinary securities, if the Resolution is passed.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the Proxy Form; or (b) it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as proxy for the person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Important note:
The proposed persons to whom any Equity Securities may be issued to under the 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the Explanatory Statement accompanying and forming part of this Notice of Annual General Meeting for further explanation of the Resolutions.
PROXIES
Members are encouraged to attend the meeting, but if you are unable to attend the meeting, we encourage you to complete and return the enclosed Proxy Form.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS
This Explanatory Statement sets out information about the Resolutions to be considered by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Defined terms used in this Explanatory Statement are set out in Section 13. Accompanying this Explanatory Statement is the Notice of Annual General Meeting convening the Annual General Meeting and a Proxy Form.
Shareholders are encouraged to attend and vote on the Resolutions to be put to the Annual General Meeting. If a Shareholder is not able to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, the Shareholder may complete the Proxy Form and return it not later than 48 hours before the time specified for the commencement of the Annual General Meeting.
2. PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting has been convened for the purpose of considering the Resolutions, which are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and explained in more detail below.
3. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the Company’s financial statements and reports of the Directors and of the auditor for the year ended 30 June 2017 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The financial statements and the reports of the Directors and of the auditor are contained in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.bassmetals.com.au.
Whilst no Resolution is required in relation to this item, Shareholders should consider the documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
The Company’s auditor will be present at the meeting and Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask the auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.
4. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is required to be considered for adoption in accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2017.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- 8 -
==> picture [50 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
4.1. If Remuneration Report is voted against
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2018 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting at which all of the Directors of the Company who were Directors when the resolution to make the Directors’ Report considered at the later annual general meeting was passed (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election (“ Spill Resolution ”).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (“ Spill Meeting ”) within 90 days of the Company's 2018 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who are in office when the Company's 2018 Directors' Report is approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
The Company’s Shareholders have approved the Remuneration Report at each previous annual general meeting. A Spill Resolution will not be required at this Annual General Meeting as the votes against the Remuneration Report at the Company’s previous annual general meeting were less than 25%.
4.2. Undirected Proxies
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.
5. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR. RICK ANTHON
Clause 11.3 of the Company’s Constitution requires that one-third of the Directors retire by rotation at each annual general meeting (except the Managing Director).
Mr Rick Anthon retires from office at this Meeting and offers himself for re-election.
Details of Mr Anthon’s qualifications and experience are set out in the Company's 2017 Annual Report.
The Board (excluding Mr Anthon) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS
6.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 28 September 2017, the Company issued 272,727,273 Shares and 68,181,818 free attaching Options under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A to sophisticated and other investors to facilitate the completion of the Stage 1 Capital Expansion Optimisation Plan on the Company’s Graphmada project, complete its final payment to Stratmin and provide for further exploration and working capital.
The purpose of Resolution 3 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of 135,912,600 Shares and 68,181,818 Options issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
The purpose of Resolution 4 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of 136,814,673 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 3 and 4 and ratifying the issue will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months and increase the base figure (i.e. variable 'A') in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without Shareholder approval.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

==> picture [50 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
6.2 ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exemption applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the ordinary securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company's members subsequently approve it. Issues made under Listing Rule 7.1A can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue by the Company of the 135,912,600 Shares and 68,181,818 Options to sophisticated and other investors. However, under Resolution 3, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 135,912,600 Shares and 68,181,818 Options, so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the next 12 months.
Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1A for the issue by the Company of the 136,814,673 Shares to sophisticated and other investors. However, under Resolution 4, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 136,814,673 Shares, so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1A on any further issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the next 12 months.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders in relation to the issue of Shares:

The free attaching Options are listed, with an exercise price of $0.025 and expiry date of 31 December 2018. A summary of the option terms is set out at Schedule 2.
(d) Basis upon which persons were issued Shares
The Shares were issued to sophisticated investors as determined by Bizzell Capital Partners Pty Ltd and Morgans Corporate Pty Ltd, none of whom are related parties of the Company.
(e) The use of the funds raised
A total of $3,000,000 (less costs) was raised from the issue. The funds are to be used to conclude the Company’s Stage 1 Capital Expansion and Optimisation Program, complete its final payment to Stratmin and to provide funding for further exploration and working capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

==> picture [50 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
6.4 Recommendation
The Directors believe that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company as it will restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months and increase the base figure (i.e. variable 'A') in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS
7.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 20 October 2017, the Company issued 45,454,545 Shares and 11,363,636 free attaching Options under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A to sophisticated and other investors to facilitate the completion of the Stage 1 Capital Expansion Optimisation Plan, complete its final payment to Stratmin and provide for further exploration and working capital ( Deferred Placement ).
The purpose of Resolution 5 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of 23,968,017 Shares and 11,363,636 Options issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
The purpose of Resolution 6 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of 21,486,528 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 5 and 6 and ratifying the issue will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months and increase the base figure (i.e. variable 'A') in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without Shareholder approval.
7.2 ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exemption applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the ordinary securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company's members subsequently approve it. Issues made under Listing Rule 7.1A can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue by the Company of the 23,968,017 Shares and 11,363,636 Options to sophisticated and other investors. However, under Resolution 5, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 23,968,017 Shares and 11,363,636 Options, so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the next 12 months.
Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1A for the issue by the Company of the 21,486,528 Shares to sophisticated and other investors. However, under Resolution 6, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 21,486,528 Shares Options, so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1A on any further issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the next 12 months.

12. RESOLUTION 13: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
12.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital though placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (“ 10% Placement Facility ”). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity, having a market capitalisation of $28,033,476 as at the date of this Notice.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2(c) below).
The Directors believe that Resolution 13 is in the best interest of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
12.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(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.
Resolution 13 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).
(b) Equity Security
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.
As at the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company has two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being:
-
(i) 1,914,353,002 Shares; and
-
(ii) 481,398,451 Listed Options exercisable at $0.025 and expiring 31 December 2018.
(c) Formula 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
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) 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 ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
Note that A has the same meaning 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 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.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- 18 -
==> picture [50 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue 1,914,353,002 Shares therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 287,152,950 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, and
-
(ii) 194,435,300 shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, subject to the Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 13.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2(c) above).
(e)
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated with reference to over the previous 15 trading days on which trades in the relevant class of shares were recorded immediately before: (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f)
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 on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) 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) (“ 10% Placement Period ”).
12.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 13 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 13 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).
12.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over previous 15 trading days on which trades in the relevant class of shares were recorded immediately before: (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

-
(b) If Resolution 13 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) 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 Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice. The formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is shown in Section 12.2(c) above.
The table also shows:
-
(i) Two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities 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
-
(ii) Two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| Variable ‘A’ in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) 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%.
-
(iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may occur to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
(iv) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(v) 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.
-
(vi) The issue price is $0.015 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 19 October 2017.

==> picture [50 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) to raise funds, for the identification and evaluation of new project opportunities where its exploration skills and development experiences can add value to provide Bass Shareholders exposure to a greater project and commodity diversity. Funds may be applied to an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with any such acquisitions), continued exploration and expenditure on its existing assets and /or general working capital; or
-
(ii) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under 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 allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting 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 projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility may include vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
