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 the Resolutions
1.1 Background
On 11 May 2017, the Company announced its intention to raise up to $4,001,400 by a share purchase plan to existing Shareholders ( Share Purchase Plan ), and the offer of the shortfall to the Share Purchase Plan ( Shortfall Offer ).
Pursuant to both the Share Purchase Plan and the Shortfall Offer, investors will be able to subscribe for new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.018 each, with three free attaching options exercisable at $0.04 each, on or before 15 June 2020 ( Free Attaching Options ) for every two New Shares subscribed for.
The funds raised by the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer will be used to fund a drill programme of up to 3,000 metres of reverse circulation and diamond drilling to test targets on the Silica Hill Prospect at the Company’s 100% owned Commonwealth gold-silver-base metal project, for follow up work including drilling at the high grade Broken Hill copper-nickel-PGM project, the Red Hill Prospect and the Platinum Springs Prospect, and for general working capital.
1.2 Share Purchase Plan
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Plan, existing Shareholders on the register at 5.00pm (WST) on Wednesday, 10 May 2017 are entitled to subscribe for up to $15,000 of New Shares at $0.018 each, with three Free Attaching Options for every two New Shares subscribed for.
The Share Purchase Plan is capped at $4,001,400 with the Company accepting valid applications on a first come first served basis.
The issue of New Shares and Free Attaching Options pursuant to the Share Purchase Plan is subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1.
The Share Purchase Plan will be made pursuant to a prospectus issued in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act ( Prospectus ).
1.3 Shortfall Offer
Any New Shares and Free Attaching Options not subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan will form the shortfall and will be offered under the Shortfall Offer, which will constitute a second offer under the Prospectus.
An individual may apply for additional New Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Shortfall Offer provided that they are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Shortfall Offer.
Securities under the Shortfall Offer are offered and issued on the same terms as under the Share Purchase Plan, being at an issue price of $0.018 per New Share, with three Free Attaching Options for every two New Shares subscribed for.
7
If, after the close of the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer, any Offer Securities have not been subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan or Shortfall Offer, the Directors reserve the right to place some or all of those Offer Securities within three months of the close of the Offers.
The Company will not allocate any Offer Securities to the extent that the recipient’s voting power in the Company would exceed 20%.
The issue of Offer Securities pursuant to the Shortfall Offer, and the placement of any Offer Securities within three months of the close of the Offers, is subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1.
1.4 Director participation
Two Directors intend to participate in the Share Purchase Plan, being Dr Michael Jones, the Company’s Managing Director, and Mr Peter Unsworth, the Company’s non-executive Chairman.
Dr Jones and Mr Unsworth each intend to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of Offer Securities under the Share Purchase Plan, being up to 833,334 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share, and up to 1,240,001 Free Attaching Options.

The approval of the issue of Offer Securities to Dr Jones under the Share Purchase Plan is the subject of Resolution 2, and the approval of the issue of Offer Securities to Mr Unsworth under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer is the subject of Resolution 3.

2. Resolution 1: Approval to issue New Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer
2.1 Shareholder approval
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 222,300,000 New Shares and 333,450,000 Free Attaching Options to Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Share Purchase Plan, to applicants under the Shortfall Offer, and to participants in the placement of any Offer Securities not applied for under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer. The Share Purchase Plan, Shortfall Offer and placement of any remaining Offer Securities will be made pursuant to the Prospectus.
Each Eligible Shareholder may (but is not required to) subscribe for up to $15,000 of New Shares at $0.018 each, with three Free Attaching Options for every two New Shares subscribed for.
2.2
Applicable Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders and subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those Equity Securities exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
An exception to Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 15) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under a “security purchase plan” (as that term is defined in Chapter 19 of the Listing Rules) where the number of securities to be issued is not greater than 30% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue, and certain other conditions are satisfied. Any securities issued under a “security purchase plan” in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 15) would therefore not count towards the company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Whilst the Company considers that with respect to the New Shares, the Share Purchase Plan is likely to satisfy the definition of “security purchase plan” under the Listing Rules, the Company is unable to rely on ASIC Class Order 09/425 and, consequently, Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 15) with regard to the Free Attaching Options to be issued under the Share Purchase Plan.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 for the issue of the Free Attaching Options under the Share Purchase Plan.
9
In addition, the Company has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 for the issue of the New Shares that may be issued under the Share Purchase Plan, and for the Offer Securities that may be issued under the Shortfall Offer and to participants in the placement by the Company of the Offer Securities not applied for under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer during the three months after the close of those offers.
The effect of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 will be to ensure that:
-
(a) to the extent that the Share Purchase Plan falls outside the definition of “security purchase plan” in the Listing Rules (by reason of the Free Attaching Options, Shortfall Offer or otherwise), the issue of Offer Securities under the Share Purchase Plan will not utilise the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(b) the issue of Offer Securities under the Shortfall Offer will not utilise the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(c) the issue of Offer Securities not applied for under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer that are placed by the Company during the three months after the close of the Offers will not utilise the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 for the purposes of obtaining approval under Listing Rule 7.1:
(a) Number of Securities to be issued
The maximum number of Securities the Company will issue pursuant to Resolution 1 is 222,300,000 New Shares, and 333,450,000 Free Attaching Options.
(b)
The date by which the Securities will be issued
The Offer Securities 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).
(c)
The price at which the Securities will be issued
The New Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.018 each to raise a total of $4,001,400 (before costs).
The Free Attaching Options will be issued as free-attaching options for nil cash consideration.
(d) The names of the persons to whom the Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons will be determined
The New Shares and Free Attaching Options will be issued to Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Share Purchase Plan, none of which will be related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules, other than as contemplated by Resolutions 2 and 3.
(e)
The terms of the Securities
The New Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary Shares that rank equally with all existing Shares then on issue. The Company will apply for quotation of the New Shares on ASX.
The Free Attaching Options are exercisable at $0.04 each, on or before 15 June 2020 and are otherwise issued on the terms and conditions as set out in the Schedule. A Share issued upon the exercise of a Free Attaching Option will be a fully paid ordinary share that will rank equally with all other Shares then on issue. The Company will apply for quotation of the Free Attaching Options on ASX.
10
(f) The issue date
It is intended that the New Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Share Purchase Plan and the under the Shortfall Offer will issued on one date, being 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).
Any New Shares and Free Attaching Options offered under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer but not issued, may be issued by the Company 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), and it is intended that their issue will occur progressively.
(g) The intended use of the funds raised
The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Share Purchase Plan, Shortfall Offer and placement of any remaining Offer Securities to fund a drill programme of up to 3,000 metres of reverse circulation and diamond drilling to test targets on the Silica Hill Prospect at the Company’s 100% owned Commonwealth gold-silver-base metal project, for follow up work at the high grade Broken Hill copper-nickel-PGM project and Mulga Tank, and for general working capital.
2.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
3. Resolutions 2 and 3: Approval for Directors to participate in the Share Purchase Plan and the Shortfall Offer
3.1 Background
Pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to enable Dr Michael Jones, the Managing Director of the Company, to participate in the Share Purchase Plan.
Dr Jones intends to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of Offer Securities under the Share Purchase Plan, being up to 833,334 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share, and up to 1,250,001 Free Attaching Options.
Pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to enable Mr Peter Unsworth, the non-executive Chairman of the Company, to participate in the Share Purchase Plan and the Shortfall Offer.
Mr Unsworth intends to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of Offer Securities under the Share Purchase Plan, being up to 833,334 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share, and up to 1,250,001 Free Attaching Options, and for up to $25,000 worth of Offer Securities under the Shortfall Offer, being up to 1,388,889 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share, and up to 2,083,334 Free Attaching Options.
3.2
Corporations Act exemption
For a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(i) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(ii) give the financial benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
11
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit on terms that:
-
(i) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the Related Party were dealing at arm’s length; or
-
(ii) are less favourable to the Related Party than arm’s length terms.
As the Offer Securities proposed to be issued to Dr Jones and Mr Unsworth (or their nominees) are proposed to be issued on the same terms and at the same price as all other Shares issued to non-related parties under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer (as applicable) and are for the purposes of a capital raising, the Directors (other than Dr Jones and Mr Unsworth) consider that the proposed issue is reasonable in the circumstances as the Company and each of Dr Jones and Mr Unsworth were dealing at arm’s length. Accordingly, the Directors (other than Dr Jones and Mr Unsworth) have resolved that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act as the exemption under section 210 of the Corporations Act applies.
