EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting and to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.
At the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the 2021 Annual General Meeting.
Directors’ recommendation
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ Report, Auditors’ Report and the Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021 be tabled at the Meeting. These reports are contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders on the reports and financial statements. However, Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to raise questions on these reports and ask questions of the auditor.
The Company’s annual Financial Report is available on its website at www.jamesonresources.com.au .
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors of the company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
The Chair of the Meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Voting consequences
In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings of the Company, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
The Directors decline to make a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote in respect of Resolution 1 as they each hold a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR JOEL NICHOLLS
Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the re-election of Mr Joel Nicholls, as a Director of the Company.
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that:
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, onethird of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;
==> picture [11 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots;
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- a Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election; and
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
-
in determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:
-
(i) a Director who has been appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors and only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution; and/or
-
(ii) a Managing Director,
each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.
The Company currently has 3 Non-Executive Directors and accordingly 1 must retire at the Meeting.
6
Mr Joel Nicholls, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election at the Meeting. Mr Joel Nicholls was first appointed as a Director on 15 September 2016 and re-appointed on 21 November 2019.

Directorships of Other Listed Entities
This Resolution 3 relates to the approval of the Tranche 1 Shares.
Tranche 2: Commitments for this tranche have been received and the issue of Shares under Tranche 2 is subject to Shareholder approval. Tranche 2 will involve the issue of a total of 1,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.07 per Share to directors Ms Nicole Hollows and Mr Michael Gray to raise a further $105,000.
Refer to Resolutions 4 and 5 for Shareholder approval for the Placement of Tranche 2.
Listing Rule information requirements for approval of issue of Tranche 1 Shares
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 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Shares under the Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue date of the Tranche 1 Shares.
Nil.
Bankruptcy and Criminal History
Nil to report.
Location
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.
Mr Nicholls is based in Melbourne.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors (other than Mr Nicholls who has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution and declines to make a recommendation) support the re-election of Mr Nicholls and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain prior shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE
Placement
On Wednesday, 24 November 2021, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments from existing sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to raise approximately
If Resolution 3 is passed, Shares issued under the Placement will be treated as having been issued with approval in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of Shares under the Placement.
7
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5 for approval of the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Tranche 1 Shares:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to existing institutional, professional and sophisticated investors and other investors who do not require disclosure under s.708(1) Corporations Act (the Tranche 1 Placement Participants )
-
(b) 39.3 million Shares are to be issued to Tranche 1 Placement Participants using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.5 is sought;
-

-
(d) the issue price of the Tranche 1 Shares under the Placement was $0.07 per Share;

| Use of Funds | Please refer to commentary on Resolution 3 for information regarding the intended use of funds from the Placement, including the Tranche 2 Shares |
The Directors consider that the proposed issue of Shares the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 are each on arm’s length terms, and, as such falls within the exception set out in section 210 Corporations Act from the related party transaction provisions in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. The other Directors have reached this view as the terms and conditions upon which Ms Hollows and Mr Gray will acquire the Shares are the same as those terms upon which the other investors acquired Shares under the Placement.
Recommendations
In relation to Resolution 4, the directors other than Ms Hollows recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
In relation to Resolution 5, the directors other than Mr Gray recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO MR MICHAEL GRAY
General
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,400,000 Long Term Incentive Options under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan ( Incentive Plan ) to Mr Michael Gray (or his nominee).
The Company’s Incentive Plan was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting.
The Directors consider that to give the remuneration comprising the proposed grant of Long Term Incentive Options the subject of Resolution 6 is reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and Mr Gray's circumstances, including the responsibilities involved in his employment and as a Director, and, as such falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act from the related party transaction provisions in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5 to be provided:
8
Options to be considered at the Meeting, and including superannuation) is set out in the table below:
Applicable ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without obtaining approval of its shareholders:
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- an Associate of a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of Long Term Incentive Options to Mr Gray falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Long Term Incentive Options pursuant to the Incentive Plan under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Long Term Incentive Options under the Incentive Plan as a way to incentivise and align the interests of the Company’s Managing Director with the financial success of the Company. The issue of the Long Term Incentive Options will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Long Term Incentive Options. In such a scenario, the Company may have to incentivise its Managing Director with other means or with cash payments which will mean less cash for the Company to direct towards its current projects and working capital.
Any future issues of Equity Securities under the Incentive Plan to a related party will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting for Resolutions 6.
Directors’ recommendations
Ms Hollows and Messrs Nicholls and van Barneveld recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 as:
-
(a) the grant of Long Term Incentive Options to Mr Gray, and in particular, the exercise price of the Long Term Incentive Options will align the interests of Mr Gray with those of Shareholders;
-
(b) the grant of the Long Term Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Gray; and
-
(c) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Securities upon the terms proposed.
Mr Gray has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6. Accordingly, Mr Gray declines to make any recommendations as to how Shareholders should vote on Resolution 6.
RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF LISTING RULE 7.1A MANDATE
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 7;
Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
§ the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
§ the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
§ the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
Minimum issue price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash at a price which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
§ the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
§ if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date described above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate to fund business growth, to acquire new assets or make investments, to develop the Company’s existing assets and operations and for general working capital.
Risk of economic and voting dilution Shareholders should note that, when issuing Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate, there is a risk that:
-
§ the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
§ 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 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

- The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(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 approvals under Listing rule 7.1A
The Company obtained Shareholder approval for a current 7.1A Mandate at its Annual General Meeting held on 19 November 2020. No Equity Securities have been issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A by the Company in the 12 months from the date of the 2020 Annual General Meeting.
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is not required to be included in this Notice as at the time of dispatching the Notice it is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
Directors’ Recommendation
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The Current Variable A set out above is based on the number of Share on issue on 9 December 2021, being 342,617,605.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 December 2021, being $0.08.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Rule 7.1A, or subsequently ratified under Listing Rule 7.4 at this Meeting.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Allocation under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, such recipients 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 recipients at the time of issue pursuant to the 7.1A Mandate with regard to the following:
The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
RESOLUTION 8 – AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
General
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders. Resolution 8 is proposed as a special resolution. A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
Use of virtual meeting technology and electronic communication
As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary measures were introduced in 2020 permitting companies to hold virtual-only meetings of its Shareholders. Following the expiry of this temporary measure in March 2021, the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021 (Cth) which commenced in August 2021 has extended the use of virtual meeting technology to facilitate holding general meetings to 31 March 2022.
As at the date of this notice, the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Bill 2021 ( Bill ) is before parliament. If passed, the Bill will make permanent various temporary measures on which Australian companies have relied to conduct business and carry on good governance during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the temporary virtual meeting provisions in the Corporations Act on which the Company is currently relying to conduct this Meeting virtually. In particular, the Bill proposes to allow meetings of members to be held either physically, as a hybrid (physically and virtually) or, if expressly permitted by the entity's constitution, virtually-only (provided that members, as a whole, are given a reasonable opportunity to participate, including to speak, in the meeting). The Company’s Constitution does not currently expressly permit the holding of wholly virtual meetings of Shareholders.
11
While the Bill does not yet have force of law, the Company would like to proactively amend its Constitution to ensure that, as and when the Bill does come into force, the Company will be able to immediately take advantage of the increased flexibility and accessibility the virtual meetings provisions offer in respect of Shareholder’s meetings.
The proposed amendments to the Company Constitution will give the Company the flexibility to use virtual meeting technology and electronic communications to facilitate general meetings by allowing the Company to confirm the procedural rules as they relate to notices, voting, quorums and other meeting related issues at meetings that use virtual meeting technology and electronic communications.
A summary of the key changes to the Company Constitution proposed by the resolution is set out in the table below.
| Subject | Constitution | Comments |

5% LIMIT
waive any breach of a provision of the Plan.
The Plan has been prepared to comply with ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1000] and as such, offers under the Plan are limited to the 5% capital limit set out in that Class Order.
EXERCISE PRICE
The Exercise Price of an Option will be the price determined by the Board in its absolute discretion prior to or on grant of the Option.
5. OPTIONS NOT TO BE QUOTED
The Options will not be quoted on the ASX. However, application will be made to ASX for official quotation of Shares issued upon the exercise of Options, if the Shares are listed on ASX at that time.
6.
SHARES ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
-
Subject to any applicable vesting conditions and exercise conditions each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for and be issued with one Share; and
-
Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Awards will in all respects rank equally and carry the same rights and entitlements as other Shares on issue.
Holders of Options have no rights to vote at meetings of the Company or receive dividends until Shares are allotted on the exercise of Options pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan.
17
LAPSE OF OPTIONS
Unless the Directors in their absolute discretion determine otherwise, Options will automatically lapse and be forfeited if, prior to the satisfaction of an exercise condition or vesting condition:
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
the holder resigns employment or terminates engagement with the Company
-
the holder is dismissed from employment or engagement with the Company for:
-
(i) material breach of contract or negligence; or
(ii) conduct justifying termination without notice;
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
the holder ceases employment or engagement with the Company and breaches any post-termination restraint
the holder is ineligible to hold his or her office pursuant to the Corporations Act; or
any performance milestones applicable to the Options are not satisfied – if a portion are satisfied, then a proportionate number of Options may continue at the Board’s discretion.
Options will not lapse and be forfeited if the holder ceases employment or engagement with the Company:
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
due to:
-
(i) death or permanent disablement
-
(ii) retirement; or
(iii) redundancy; or
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
where the Board determines that the Options continue.
8.
RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSAL
An Option holder is not able to sell, transfer, mortgage, pledge, charge, grant security over or otherwise dispose of any Options, or agree to do any of those things, without the prior consent of the Board or unless such disposal is required by law.
9.
PARTICIPATION RIGHTS OF OPTION HOLDERS
Holders of Options will only be permitted to participate in an issue of new Shares by the Company if they exercise their Options before the record date for the relevant issue. The Company must ensure that, for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 business days after the issue of new Shares is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
10.
NEW ISSUES AND REORGANISATION
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
- Holders will only be permitted to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares to Shareholders on the prior exercise of Options. The Company must notify the Holder of the proposed issue at least 7 Business Days before the record date to determine entitlements to the pro rata issue.
11.
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
In the event of a reorganisation (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options to which each Option holder is entitled or the exercise price or both will be changed in the manner required by the Listing Rules and, in any case, in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on holders of Options which are not conferred on Shareholders.
TAKEOVERS
In the event of a takeover bid, certain capital reorganisations, or transactions occurring that give rise to certain changes of control of the Company, restrictions on the exercise of an Option are released and cease to apply, on a pro rata basis, for those Awards equal in number to up to 10% of the Shares on issue at that time, such that those Awards may vest and be exercised.
12.
TAX DEFERRAL
Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth), which enables tax deferral on Options offered under the Employee Incentive Plan (subject to the conditions in that Act), may apply to Options granted under the Employee Incentive Plan.
13. AMENDING THE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
To rely on Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13, the Board (without the necessity of obtaining prior or subsequent consent of Shareholders) may by resolution, from time to time amend all or any provisions of the Employee Incentive Plan, provided any proposed amendments are not material in nature.
