EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3

As announced on 27 June 2019, the Company has received commitments for a placement of approximately 21.43 million Shares at an issue price of $0.07 per Share to sophisticated, institutional and professional investors, to raise up to $1,500,000 ( Placement ).

On 3 July 2019, the Company issued the first tranche of Shares under the Placement, being 20,285,714 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors utilising the Company placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Shares ).

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

Two Directors of the Company, Adrian Byass and Ryan Parkin have subscribed for an aggregate of 1,142,858 Shares under the Placement. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 2 and 3 to allow the Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated investors.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 SHARES

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) 20,285,714 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.07 per Share;

5

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Patersons Securities Limited. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue were used to continue activities on the Company’s San Jose Project and for working capital purposes.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1, Resolutions 2 and 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to an aggregate of 1,142,858 Shares to Adrian Byass and Ryan Perkin (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) arising from the participation by the Related Parties in the Placement ( Related Party Participation ).

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the 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.

The Related Party Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Adrian Byass and Ryan Parkin are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Adrian Byass and Ryan Parkin who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 2 and 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Related Party Participation because the Shares will be issued to Adrian Byass and Ryan Parkin on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Related Party Participation involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the

6

exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

3.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Related Party Participation:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Adrian Byass and Ryan Parkin (or their nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 1,142,858, comprising of the issue of:

  • (i) 571,429 Shares to Adrian Byass (Resolution 2); and

  • (ii) 571,429 Shares to Ryan Parkin (Resolution 3);

  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.07 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 2.2(e) of this Explanatory Statement.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Related Party Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Parties (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY - RYAN PARKIN

4.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 1,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Ryan Parkin (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to Ryan Parkin (or his nominee).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 above respectively.

The grant of Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Ryan Parkin is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

7

The Directors (other than Ryan Parkin who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the agreement to grant the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Ryan Parkin, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Related Party Options will be granted to Ryan Parkin (or his nominee);

  • (b) the number of Related Party Options to be issued is 1,000,000;

  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Related Party Options will be issued for nil cash consideration; accordingly, no funds will be raised; and

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options to Ryan Parkin (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares and Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 2.1 above.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
