The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and, by extension, will not have sufficient funds to accelerate its copper focused exploration program. The Company will seek alternative sources of capital to fund the exploration of the copper resources.

4.3

5.4 Director Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.

10

==> picture [30 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

6 Resolution 4 – Approval to issue SPP Shares

6.1 General

The Company intends to offer Eligible Shareholders a right to participate in the SPP pursuant to which each Eligible Shareholder may apply for up to $30,000 worth of SPP Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per Share.

The SPP provides all Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate on the same terms and conditions as the Placement, to raise approximately $2,000,000 (before costs).

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 15 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of securities pursuant to a share purchase plan. However, for this exception to apply, the issue price of the Shares must be greater than 80% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day the SPP was announced.

The VWAP of Shares for the last five days on which sales in Shares were recorded prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP (being 16 March 2020) is $0.01516, with 80% of this VWAP being $0.012126. The price per SPP Shares is $0.012, which is a 20.8% discount to the relevant VWAP prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP on 16 March 2020. Accordingly, exception 15 of Listing Rule 7.2 does not apply to the issue of SPP Shares. Further, the issue of the SPP Shares does not fall within any other exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2 and as such exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the effect will be to allow the Company to issue the SPP Shares during the period three months after the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion allow), without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the effect will be that the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the SPP Shares.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, information is provided in relation to the SPP Shares as follows:

  • (a) The SPP Shares will be issued to eligible Shareholders who have elected to participate in the SPP.

  • (b)

  • Up to 166,666,667 Shares will be issued under the SPP.

  • (c) The SPP Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally with the Company‘s existing Shares on issue.

11

==> picture [30 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

  • (d) The SPP Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

6.4 Director Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

7 Resolution 5 – Amendment to Constitution

7.1 General

It is proposed that the Company's Constitution be updated to permit virtual meetings following recent legislative changes to the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Bill 2022 which permits companies to hold virtual meetings if this is expressly permitted by the Company Constitution.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the amendment to the Company's Constitution in accordance with section 136 of the Corporations Act.

A copy of the amended Constitution will be sent to any Shareholder on request and will also be available for inspection at the office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Meeting.

The amended constitution will be effective from the close of the Meeting.

Resolution 5 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).

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

7.2

Summary of Proposed Amendment

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to insert the following new Article 12.10:

12.10 Virtual Meetings

A general meeting of Shareholders may be held using virtual technology only and Shareholders attending virtually are present for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

7.3 Director Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

8 Resolution 6 – Issue of Options to Ashanti Capital

8.1 Background

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 15,000,000 Options to Ashanti Capital for acting as Lead Manager pursuant to the Placement and SPP (refer to Section 3 for further details).

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Refer to Section 4.2 for a summary of Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company‘s Sareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Ashanti Capital. In addition, the issue of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. Under the mandate with Ashanti Capital, the Company will have to pay Ashanti Capital the equivalent cash value of the 15,000,000 Options based on a Black Scholes valuation.

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to the Options is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to the Ashanti Capital as Lead Manager of the Placement;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued to Ashanti Capital (and/or its nominees) is 15,000,000;

  • (c) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2;

  • (d) the Options will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (e) the unlisted Options will be issued for a subscription price of A$0.00001 per Option raising a total of $150 to be used for working capital;

  • (f) the Options are issued to Ashanti Capital pursuant to a mandate which entitled Ashanti Capital to the 15,000,000 Options together with a 2% management fee on the funds raised from the Placement and SPP and a 4% selling fee on funds raised from the Placement only. Ashanti Capital also has a first right of refusal to act as lead manager for any future capital raisings by the Company in the next 12 months,

13

==> picture [30 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

subject to at least 50% of the investors introduced by Ashanti Capital remaining unless the Company's share price has increased by more than 400% to the Placement issue price. The mandate is otherwise on standard terms for an agreement of this nature;

(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 6.

8.4 Board Recommendation
