VOTING BY PROXY
Direction on how to vote
If you wish to direct the Proxy Holder how to vote, please place a mark in the appropriate boxes that appear on the proxy form.
The shares represented by a properly executed proxy form, where the Chairman is the Proxy Holder will:
-
where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the proxy form or on any ballot or poll that may be taken, be voted in accordance with the specification made in such proxy form; and
-
On a poll, such shares will be voted in favour of each matter for which no choice has been specified, or where both choices have been specified by the Shareholder.
No Direction on how to vote - General
If no person is named in the proxy form, the Chairman will be appointed as that Shareholder’s Proxy Holder. If you do not direct your Proxy Holder how to vote in respect of the Resolution(s), the Proxy Holder may cast your vote as the Proxy Holder thinks fit or may abstain from voting. By signing an undirected appointment, you acknowledge that, subject to the Corporations Act, the Proxy Holder may exercise your vote even if he/she has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution(s) and even if votes cast by him/her other than as Proxy Holder will be disregarded because of that interest.
The enclosed proxy form, when properly completed, delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the Proxy Holder thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the Chairman to vote in accordance with his best judgment on such matters or business. At the time of the printing of this Explanatory Statement, Management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.
NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS
Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed Proxy Holders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the NonRegistered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Nominees are prohibited from voting shares for Non-Registered Shareholders. Therefore, each Non-Registered Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Proxy Cut-off Time .
Existing regulatory policy requires Nominees to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. The various Nominees have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Shareholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the proxy form supplied to a Non-Registered Shareholder by its broker is identical to the proxy form provided by the Company to the Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (i.e. the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the NonRegistered Shareholder.
Limited Audience
Page 10 of 25
Although Non-Registered Shareholders may not be recognised directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting shares registered in the name of their Nominee, a Non-Registered Shareholder may attend the Meeting as Proxy Holder for their Non-Registered shareholding and vote the shares in that capacity only in a poll. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their shares only on a poll as proxy holder for their Non-Registered shareholding should enter their own names in the blank space on the voting instruction form provided to them and return the same to their Nominee (or the Nominee’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such Nominee.
All references to Shareholders in this Explanatory Statement and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders as at the record date of notice unless specifically stated otherwise.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXY
A Registered Shareholder who has submitted a proxy form may revoke it at any time in writing signed by the Registered Shareholder or by the Registered Shareholder’s attorney or, where the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and received by the Company:

-
To the Chairman on the day of the Meeting (or if adjourned, any reconvening thereof); or
-
In any other manner provided by law.

Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for the respective Nominee to revoke their proxy form on their behalf.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the past financial year to be tabled before the AGM.
There is no requirement in the Corporations Act or the Company’s constitution for Shareholders to vote on the reports. However, the Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about the reports at the meeting.
2. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (RESOLUTION 1)
The Remuneration Report is required to be considered for adoption in accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report, which details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of non-executive Directors, executive Directors and senior executives for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 is part of the Director’s Report contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. The Directors of the Company will take into consideration the outcome of voting on this Resolution when assessing the remuneration policy for senior executives and executive and nonexecutive Directors in future.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2024 AGM and then again at the 2025 AGM, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2025 AGM to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting ( spill resolution ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( spill meeting ) within 90 days of the 2025 AGM. All of the Directors who are in office when the 2025 Directors’ Report is approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Directors’ Recommendation
Acknowledging that every Director has a personal interest in his own remuneration from the Company, as described in the Remuneration Report, the Directors unanimously recommend the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (RESOLUTION 2)
Under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a Director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. This rule applies from the time of an entity’s admission to the official list of ASX. The Company was admitted to the official list on 20 December 2021 (the “ Admission ”). The Company’s Constitution also requires that one third of the Company’s directors must retire at each AGM.
Under ASX Listing Rule 14.5 an entity which has Directors must hold an election of Directors at each annual general meeting, even where no Director is required to stand for election or re-election under Rule 14.4.
Accordingly, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and to assist with the Board’s director rotation policy going forward, the Board has determined that Alan Joseph Phillips will retire by rotation at this year’s AGM. Being eligible, Alan Joseph Phillips offer himself up for re-election as a Director at the AGM. Their background information is set out below.

Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends to Shareholders of the Company that they vote FOR Resolution 2.
4. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES – ODEON CAPITAL GROUP LLC (RESOLUTION 3)
On 21 July 2023, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company issued 723,066 shares to Odeon Capital Group LLC and its nominees for an advisory fee totalling $100,000 pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement between EAS Advisors, LLC through Odeon Capital Group LLC. The Company seeks ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the allotment and issue of those shares (“Ratification shares”) described further below.
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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 12-month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Ratification shares.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Ratification shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Ratification shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Ratification shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Ratification shares.

5. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES – HAWKER GEOLOGICAL SERVICES PTY LTD (RESOLUTION 4)
On 27 October 2023, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company issued 208,333 shares at a total purchase price of $25,000 to Hawker Geological Services Pty Ltd ( Seller ) to acquire 100% interest in tenement E45/6471 pursuant to the Sale Purchase Agreement ( SPA ) executed on 25 October 2023. The Company seeks ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the allotment and issue of those shares (“Ratification shares”) described further below.
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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 12-month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.125 per share and Options are exercisable at $0.20 each and expire 24 months from date of issue. This Placement raised $650,000 under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made.

Accordingly, the company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Ratification shares.

Directors’ Recommendation

7. APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY (RESOLUTION 6)
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security. If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The effect of Resolution 6 if passed, will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the AGM must be in favor of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
-
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $1.9 million (based on the Company’s closing price of Shares of $0.016 on 24 July 2024).
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. At the date of the AGM, the Company will have one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX: IMI).
Limited Audience
Page 18 of 25
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue with an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula: (A x D) – E
Where:
A = is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
(i) plus the number of shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(ii) plus the number of shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(iii) plus the number of shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
(iv) plus the number of any other shares issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(v) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period; and
-
(vi) less the number of shares cancelled in the relevant period.
D = 10%.
E = 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 issue or agreement to issue that has not subsequently been approved by the holders or ordinary securities under Listing Rules 7.4.
The effect of Resolution 6 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 6 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).
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Minimum Price : Under the ASX Listing Rules, the minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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
Limited Audience
Page 19 of 25
- (ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Risk of voting dilution : Shareholders should be aware there is a risk of economic and voting dilution that may result from an issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, including the risk that:
-
(i) the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting where approval is being sought; and
-
(ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the date of issue.
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any equity securities under the issue.
If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of the Shares and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The table also assumes that no options on issue are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the equity securities.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Issue Price | Issue Price | Issue Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.008 | $0.016 | $0.032 | ||

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of shares available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(ii) The table shows only the effect of shares issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not factor in the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its issued capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
Limited Audience
Page 20 of 25
- (iii) The current issue price is $0.016, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 24 July 2024. (iv) The current number of shares on issue is the shares on issue as of 24 July 2024, being 118,753,390.
The table 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. The number of shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of shares that do not require approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlement issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
Date of Issue: If Shareholder approval is granted for Resolution 6, then that approval will expire on the earlier of:
-
(i) 30 August 2025, being 12 months from the date of the Meeting; or
-
(ii) the date Shareholder approval is granted to a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (proposed change to nature and scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (change involving main undertaking); or
-
(iii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting.
The approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity: The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for various purposes including as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised to intensify and aggressively pursue its stated intention to separate the individual business units within the Company according to its six main and autonomous businesses.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity: The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of equity securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and

(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A: The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2023 Annual General Meeting held on 18 August 2023. Equity issues over the last 12 months – ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6

Directors’ Recommendation

8. APPROVAL OF CAPACITY FOR FUTURE SECURITIES PLACEMENT(S) (RESOLUTION 7)
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12- m o n t h period any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option or convertible notes), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The Company is considering undertaking a placement of Shares and Options for strategic initiative, including but not limited to exploration expenditure on any existing assets of the Company, for future assets acquired by the Company, or for general working and other capital purposes.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without shareholders approval at the annual general meeting over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period. Accordingly, if resolution is passed, the consideration securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit and enables the Company to issue Shares within a period of 3 months after the date of the annual general meeting.

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 issue of Fee Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. In respect of Resolution 8, Mr Phillips, Mr Groot, Dr Kale and Mr McCall who have material personal interest in Resolution 8 consider that Shareholders approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 8 because the agreement to issue the Fee Shares constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to the Related Parties.
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Related Parties fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 8 requires Shareholders approval for the issue of the Fee Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Fee Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Fee Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares for that Resolution and the Company will be required to consider other mechanisms to properly remunerate the respective Related Parties, including the payment of the relevant director’s fees in cash, which may not be as cost effective for the Company.
