4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass this Resolution will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

The Corporations Act was amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act ( Director and Executive Remuneration Act ) which received the Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, among others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting, a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

At the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting the remuneration report was approved by over 75% of shareholders.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that all Directors (other than the Managing Director) may be up for re-election.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Patrick Elliott as a Director

In accordance with clause 6.4 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting of the Company one third of the Directors (or if the number of Directors is not a multiple of 3, then, subject to the Listing Rules, the number nearest to one third) must retire from office and be eligible for re-election.

10

The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last reappointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement. Accordingly, Mr Elliott retires and being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election at the Meeting.

Patrick Elliott is a company director specialising in the resources sector with over 30 years experience in investment and corporate management. His early career was at Consolidated Gold Fields Australia Limited and covered investment analysis and management, minerals marketing (copper concentrates, tin concentrates, rutile and zircon). In 1979 he went into investment banking and became Head of Corporate Finance for Morgan Grenfell Australia Limited in 1982. Patrick subsequently became Managing Director of Natcorp Investments Ltd in 1986 which owned a number of manufacturing businesses. After its takeover he became an active early stage venture capital investor with an emphasis on resources.

Patrick is Chairman of Argonaut Resources NL, Cap-XX Limited, Tamboran Resources Limited and Variscan NL. Patrick is a director of a number of privately owned companies. Patrick holds an MBA in Mineral Economics (Macquarie University) and a B.Comm. (University of NSW).

The Board unanimously supports the election of Mr Elliott.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

6. Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares

6.1 General

On 9 August 2016, the Company announced that it had received commitments to raise $6,000,000 via a placement of 80,000,000 Shares to domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.075 per Share ( Placement ).

The Placement was heavily oversubscribed, reflecting strong interest from a variety of existing and new investors, driven by the Company's advances Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada. The issue price of the Placement Shares represented:

  • (a) an 8.5% discount to the last closing price of the Company's shares on 4 August 2016 of $0.082 per share; and

  • (b) an 6.8% discount to the 5 day VWAP of the Company's shares to 4 August 2016 of $0.0804 per share.

The Company issued the Placement Shares on 17 August 2016. The Placement Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, 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 securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

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

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

11

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 Listing Rule 7.1 during the next 12 months, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

6.2 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.5

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 information regarding the issue of the Placement Shares is provided as follows:

  • (a) 80,000,000 Shares were issued by the Company on 17 August 2016.

  • (b) The Placement Shares were issued at $0.075 each.

  • (c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued to domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be used by the Company to advance the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Refresh of Employee and Consultant Share Option Plan

7.1 General

The Company has established the Option Plan, which was originally approved at a general meeting of the Company held on 23 April 2010. The Option Plan was subsequently reapproved at a general meeting of the Company held on 18 October 2013.

A summary of the Option Plan is provided in Schedule 1. A copy of the Option Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 6.1.

An exception to Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) which provides that issues under an employee incentive plan are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which Shareholders approved the issue of securities under that plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

As the approval granted for the issue of Options under the Option Plan has expired, the Company is seeking re-approval for the issue of Options under the Option Plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Option Plan was designed to provide incentives to employees and consultants of the Company and to recognise their contribution to the Company's success. Under the Company's circumstances, the Directors consider that incentives to employees and consultants through the grant of Options is cost effective and efficient for the Company.

12

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for future issues of Options under the Option Plan for the purposes of Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 over the three year period from the date of the Meeting.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

7.2 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) the following information is provided:

  • (a) The material terms of the Option Plan are summarised above.

  • (b) The Option Plan was last approved at a general meeting of the Company held on 18 October 2013.

  • (c) The total number of securities issued under the Option plan since the date of last approval is 6,200,000 Options.

  • (d) A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice.

8. Resolution 5 – Adoption of Global Geoscience Performance Rights Plan

8.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the establishment of the Performance Rights Plan.

The Company wishes to exempt issues of securities under the Performance Rights Plan from contributing towards the rolling annual limit of 15% of issued Shares prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. This limit otherwise applies to all new issues of equity securities made without Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval of the Performance Rights Plan is therefore sought under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9, whereby the Shareholders may approve in advance the issue of securities made under the Performance Rights Plan as an exception to the limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Performance Rights Plan provides for the issuance of Performance Rights which, upon a determination by the Board that the vesting conditions attached to the Performance Rights have been met, will result in the issue of one ordinary Share in the Company for each Performance Right.

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Company needs to attract and retain its key staff. The Board believes that grants made to eligible participants under the Performance Rights Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company's employment and engagement strategy, and that the implementation of the Performance Rights Plan will:

  • (a) enable the Company to recruit, incentivise and retain Key Management Personnel and other eligible employees needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;

  • (b) link the reward of key staff with the achievements of strategic goals and the long term performance of the Company;

  • (c) align the financial interest of participants of the Performance Rights Plan with those of Shareholders; and

  • (d) provide incentives to participants of the Performance Rights Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.

13

This is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) with respect to the Performance Rights Plan. No Performance Rights have previously been issued under the Performance Rights Plan and the Performance Rights Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Performance Rights Plan and all unallocated Performance Rights issuable pursuant to it every three years.

The key features of the Performance Rights Plan are as follows:

  • (a) The Board will determine the number of Performance Rights to be granted to eligible employees (or their nominees) and the vesting conditions, expiry date of the Performance Rights in its sole discretion.

  • (b) The Performance Rights are not transferable unless the Board determines otherwise or the transfer is required by law and provided that the transfer complies with the Corporations Act.

  • (c) Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules and restrictions on reducing the rights of a holder of Performance Rights, the Board will have the power to amend the Performance Rights Plan as it sees fit.

A detailed overview of the terms of the Performance Rights Plan is attached in Schedule 2. A copy of the Performance Rights Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

8.2 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) the following information is provided:

  • (a) The material terms of the Performance Rights Plan are summarised above.

  • (b) This is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 with respect to the Performance Rights Plan.

  • (c) No securities have been issued under the Performance Rights Plan.

  • (d) A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice.

9. Resolutions 6 to 9 – Approval of Grant of Performance Rights to Directors

9.1 General

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to grant a total of 31,500,000 Performance Rights to Directors Mr Bernard Rowe, Mr Patrick Elliott, Mr Gabriel Chiappini and Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton. Of these Performance Rights, the Company proposes to issue:

  • (a) 6,000,000 Class A Performance Rights, 6,000,000 Class B Performance Rights and 6,000,000 Class C Performance Rights to Managing Director Mr Bernard Rowe (and/or his nominees);

14

  • (b) 1,500,000 Class A Performance Rights, 1,500,000 Class B Performance Rights and 1,500,000 Class C Performance Rights to Non-executive Director Mr Patrick Elliott (and/or his nominees);

  • (c) 1,500,000 Class A Performance Rights, 1,500,000 Class B Performance Rights and 1,500,000 Class C Performance Rights to Non-executive Director Mr Gabriel Chiappini (and/or his nominees); and

  • (d) 1,500,000 Class A Performance Rights, 1,500,000 Class B Performance Rights and 1,500,000 Class C Performance Rights to Non-executive Director Mr Barnaby EgertonWarburton (and/or his nominees).

The above Performance Rights are to be issued by the Company under the Performance Rights Plan as a long term incentive in connection with their position as Directors and Managing Director of the Company. The principle terms of the Performance Rights Plan are summarised in Schedule 2.

The Performance Rights will be granted for nil cash consideration. Vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to certain vesting conditions set out below. The expiry date of the Performance Rights is also set out below.

Shareholder approval is required for the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Bernard Rowe, Mr Patrick Elliott, Mr Gabriel Chiappini and Mr Barnaby Egerton-Warburton under Listing Rule 10.14 because each is a Director of the Company.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to the Directors will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 6 to 9 are ordinary Resolutions and are subject to Resolution 5 being passed.

10. Resolution 10 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

10.1 General

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 Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

While the Company has no current intention to use the 10% Placement Facility, the Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 10.2(c) below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 10 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

10.2 Description of 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.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted Equity Securities, being the Shares (ASX Code: GSC).

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

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:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

17

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in 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 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 Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 10.2(c) above).

  • (e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same 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 five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under 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 ).

18

10.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Directors to issue 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 10 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).

10.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (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 over the 15 Trading Days 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 five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

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 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 under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

19

(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.

Funds raised $6,183,724 $12,367,449 $24,734,897

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 are exercised into Shares 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 Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vii) At the date of this Notice, there are currently 1,066,159,362 Shares on issue.

  • (viii) The issue price is $0.058, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 12 October 2016.

20

(c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 2 for the issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) as non-cash consideration in relation to the acquisition of new resource assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration, in which case, the Company intends to use funds raised for expanding or accelerating the Company’s existing business activities (including expenses associated with the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project), pursuing other acquisitions that have a strategic fit or will otherwise add value to shareholders (including expenses associated with such acquisitions) and general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) 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. The identity of the recipients 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 purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The recipients under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resource assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (f) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s 2015 AGM held on 27 November 2015.

21

(g) In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting the Company issued a total of 713,715,601 Equity Securities which represents 261.97% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 27 November 2015. The Equity Securities issued in the preceding 12 months were as follows:
