The Corporations Act requires the financial report (which includes the Financial Statements, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report) to be laid before the Meeting. There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the report. However, the Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the management of the Company.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the content of the Auditor’s Report.
8.2. RESOLUTION 1 REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 is set out in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report which is available on the Company’s website www.kingislandscheelite.com.au
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel. The Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting. In addition, Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Remuneration Report.
The Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors must go up for re‐election.
The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1. Shareholders not attending the Meeting may use the enclosed Proxy Form to lodge their vote by appointing a Proxy. Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the Meeting, other Directors or other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties will not be voted on Resolution 1, unless the vote is cast by the Chairman of the Meeting pursuant to an express authorisation on the Proxy Form made by a Shareholder who is entitled to vote on Resolution 1.

Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
8.3. RESOLUTION 2 RE‐ELECTION OF DIRECTOR RETIRING BY ROTATION
Under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not hold office without re‐election past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. A director who retires in accordance with these requirements is eligible for re‐election.
Under ASX Listing Rule 14.5, an election of directors must be held each year.
Rule 19.3(b) of the Company’s constitution requires that no Director (who is not a managing director) may hold office without re‐election beyond the third annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re‐elected.
The Directors to retire are those directors or director longest in office since last being elected.
The Directors to retire (both as to number and identity) is decided having regard to the composition of the board of Directors at the date of the notice calling the annual general meeting.
The Company may by resolution at an annual general meeting fill an office vacated by a Director by electing or re‐electing an eligible person to that office.
The retirement of a Director from office under the Company’s constitution and the re‐ election of a Director or the election of another person to that office (as the case may be) takes effect at the conclusion of the meeting at which the retirement and re‐election or election occurs.
Accordingly, Mr Davies is due to retire at the end of the meeting and offers himself for re‐ election to the Board.

Recommendation
Messrs Jacobs and Ellis unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re‐ election of Mr Davies.
8.4. RESOLUTION 3 APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility in addition to its 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. Further information is set out in section 8.4.1 (c) of the Notice.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 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).
8.4.1. Description of ASX 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.
- (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. At the date of the Notice, the Company only has quoted shares on issue and no quoted options or other convertible securities.
- (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX 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:
11 | P a g e
==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
(A x D) – E
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary securities under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX 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 ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
8.4.2. Number of Shares on Issue
At the date of the Notice, the Company has 209,608,702 Shares on issue.
8.4.3. Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that 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.
8.4.4. 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX 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
12 | P a g e
==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
- (b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX 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 ).
8.4.5. Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:
-
(a) the Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities in the relevant class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class 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 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ economic and 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:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
- (c) 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities 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
13 | P a g e
==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
under ASX 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 100% as against the current market price.

(d) 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) No options (including any options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
14 | P a g e
==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
-
(vi) 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.
-
(vii) The issue price is 3.8 cents ($0.038), being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on [24 October 2017].
-
(e) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking)).
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) non‐cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non‐cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to allocate the funds towards additional working capital while the Company progresses development funding for the Dolphin Project.
-
(g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon the 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.
-
(h) 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, a pro rata rights issue or other issue 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 advisers (if applicable).
-

==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Instructions for Completing Proxy Form
-
(a) A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of that member.
-
(b) You should direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on one item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
-
(c) Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the Meeting, other directors or other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties will not be voted on Resolutions 1 4, 5 and 6, unless the vote is cast by the Chairman of the Meeting pursuant to an express authorization on the Proxy Form made by a Shareholder who is entitled to vote on Resolutions 1, 4, 5 and 6.
-
(d) Key management personnel of the Consolidated Entity are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Consolidated Entity, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Consolidated Entity’s Key Management Personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2017. Their Closely Related Parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
-
(e) A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. This form should be signed by the member. If a joint holding, either member may sign. If signed by the member’s attorney, the power of attorney must have been previously noted by the Company or a certified copy attached to this form. If executed by a company, the form must be executed in accordance with the member’s constitution and the Corporations Act.
-
(f) 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:
-
(i) directors of the company;
-
(ii) a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
(iii) for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
-
(g) For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
(h) Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.
-
(i) Where a proxy form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
-
(j) To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and send the proxy form by:
-
(i) Hand delivery to the Company’s registered office at Suite 26.01, Level 26, Suncorp Place, 259 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000;

-

Information is collected to administer your shareholding and if some or all of the information is not collected then it might not be possible to administer your shareholding.
