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 2018 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 2018 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 sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • 6 -

==> picture [130 x 48] 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 2019 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 2019 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who are in office when the Company's 2019 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. PETER WRIGHT

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 Peter Wright retires from office at this Meeting and offers himself for re-election. Details of Mr Wright’s qualifications and experience are set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report. The Board (excluding Mr Wright) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. RESOLUTION 3: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS

6.1 Background

As announced to the ASX on 5 December 2017, the Company issued a total of 299,056,026 Shares and 197,000,996 free attaching options. Included in that issue were 2,724,652 Shares and 2,043,488 free attaching options issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval was obtained for the conversion of Convertible Notes to unrelated parties at the Company's 2017 AGM under resolution 8. The Convertible Notes were redeemed at their face value of $1 plus interest accrued from the date of issue up to and including the date of conversion. Subsequent to the 2017 AGM, and later than originally anticipated, the Convertible Notes were converted to equity with the number of shares and options issued being immaterially higher than that proposed in the 2017 Notice of AGM.

The purpose of Resolution 3 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of the additional 2,724,652 Shares and 2,043,488 free attaching options issued under Listing Rule 7.1 in satisfaction of the interest component of the Convertible Notes.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 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

  • 7 -

==> picture [130 x 48] 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 2,724,652 Shares and 2,043,488 free attaching options. However, under Resolution 3, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 2,724,652 Shares and 2,043,488 free attaching 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.

6.3 Regulatory Requirements

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

(a) Number of securities issued

The total number of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1 was 2,724,652 Shares and 2,043,488 free attaching options.

(b) Issue price

(c) Terms of the securities

The Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.

The free attaching Options are listed options, 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) Name of person to whom securities were issued

The securities were issued to the Convertible Note Holders.

(e) The use (or intended use) of the funds raised

The funds are to be used for the capital and operational expenditure on the Company's Graphmada project, exploration at Andapa/Millie's Reward and general working capital.

(f) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 3 is included in the Notice.

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 Resolution 3.

7. RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

7.1 Background

As announced to the ASX on 17 September 2018, the Company issued 1,690,141 Shares without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 in lieu of the payment of US$30,000 for the acquisition of the Millie's Reward suite of lithium projects in Madagascar.

The Shares were issued to Vato Consulting LLC (“ Vato ”) in satisfaction of part of the terms of a contract between the Company and Vato signed 22 March 2017 (“ Contract ”).

Under the terms of the Contract, the Company was required to pay Vato the sum of US$30,000 following the successful completion of a due diligence program, to be completed by Vato, that would enable the Company to acquire a suite of Lithium based projects in Madagascar and referred to as the Millie’s Reward projects.

The Company was satisfied that it was required to pay Vato in January 2018 and subsequently agreed to issue 1,690,141 Shares in the Company to Vato as full and final satisfaction of this liability.

The purpose of Resolution 4 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of the 1,690,141 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 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.

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 1,690,141 Shares. However, under Resolution 4, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 1,690,141 Shares 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.

(e) Use (or intended use) of funds

No funds were raised by the issue.

(f) Voting exclusion statement

7.4 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 Resolution 4.

8. RESOLUTION 5: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

8.1 Background

As announced to the ASX on 17 September 2018, the Company issued 528,169 Shares without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 in payment of geological services. The Shares were issued to Jan Casper Leeuwner, an associate of Vato.

In July 2018, Vato, as per the terms of the Contract, undertook substantial geological surveying and related work in relation to the Company’s tenements referred to as the Millie’s Reward Project.

Subsequent to the completion of the services performed in July 2018, Vato provided to the Company an invoice for the amount of US$9,375. The 528,169 Shares were issued in full and final settlement of this invoice.

The purpose of Resolution 5 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of the 528,169 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5 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.

8.2 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.

Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue by the Company of the 528,169 Shares. However, under Resolution 5, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 528,169 Shares, 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.

9.4 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 Resolution 6.

10. RESOLUTION 7: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

10.1 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 $62,050,043 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 10.2(c) below).

The Directors believe that Resolution 7 is in the best interest of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

10.2 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 7 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) 2,482,001,754 Shares; and

  • (ii) 456,155,705 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • 13 -

==> picture [130 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

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.

(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 2,482,001,754 Shares therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 372,300,263 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, and

  • (ii) 248,200,175 shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, subject to the Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 7.

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 10.2(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 ”).

10.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 7 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 7 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).

10.4 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 7 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 table below 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 10.2(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.

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 $0.025 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 September 2018.

  • 15 -

==> picture [130 x 48] 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.

10.5 Previous issues of Equity Securities made in the 12 months preceding the Meeting

In the 12 months preceding the date of the AGM, the Company has issued 600,525,332 Equity Securities. This represents approximately 23.31% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Details of all issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the AGM are set out in Schedule 1.

A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 7 is included in the Notice.
