Previous voting results
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Virtual AGM 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 2022 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 2023 Annual General Meeting.

(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,
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.

Applicable 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 11] 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).
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 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Long Term Incentive Options pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Long Term Incentive Options under the Employee 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 or 7.1A.
If Resolution 3 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 Employee Incentive Plan to a related party will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO MR MICHAEL GRAY
General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,500,000 Long Term Incentive Options under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan to Mr Michael Gray (or his nominee).
The Company’s Employee Incentive Plan was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting.
The Directors consider that to give the remuneration comprising the proposed grant of Long Term Incentive Options the subject of Resolution 3 is reasonable given the circumstances of the Company
The following information in relation to the issue of Long Term Incentive Options under the Employee Incentive Plan is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

| Related Party | 2023/2024 Financial Year |

| Michael Gray | • $300,0001 • Participation in the Company’s short term incentive plan which entitles Mr Gray to a cash bonus equivalent to up to 50% total fixed remuneration, subject to meeting Key Performance. Indicators established by the Board • Participation in the Company’s long term incentive plan which entitles Mr Gray to an equity bonus equivalent to up to 50% total fixed remuneration, subject to service and performance conditions. 1Mr Gray works a 4-day week. This amount reflects the annual total fixed remuneration (base plus superannuation) he is entitled to in 2023/24 based on being employed on a 4-day per week basis. If Mr Gray works 5 days per week, the total fixed remuneration increases proportionally for the period of time he works 5 days per week. |
-
2,840,000 Long Term Incentive Options have previously been granted to Mr Gray under the Employee Incentive Plan following shareholder approval at prior AGMs. No acquisition price was paid by Mr Gray for the grant of the Long Term Incentive Options and Mr Gray has not yet exercised any of the Long Term Incentive Options;
-
For a summary of the terms and conditions attaching to the Long Term Incentive Options and the valuation methodology of the Long Term Incentive Options proposed to be granted to Mr Gray, refer to Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 to this Notice respectively;
-
The Long Term Incentive Options proposed to be issued to Mr Gray pursuant to Resolution 3 have been independently valued by Mr Peter Gray, a director of the Corporate Advisory Division of Moore Australia Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd, acting independently. The value of the Long Term Incentive Options and the pricing methodology is described at Schedule 2;
General
The estimated total value of Long Term Incentive Options proposed to be granted to Mr Gray is $10,961.02.
The Long Term Incentive Options will be issued no later than 3 months from the date of the 2023 Annual General Meeting;

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the scheme after the Resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting for Resolution 3.
Directors’ recommendations
Ms Hollows and Messrs Nicholls and van Barneveld recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 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 3. Accordingly, Mr Gray declines to make any recommendations as to how Shareholders should vote on Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4 – 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 4 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 4 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.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:
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 economic and voting interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 4 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.
| Number of Shares on Issue |

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.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The Current Variable A set out above is based on the number of Shares on issue as of 11 October 2023
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2023, being $0.051
-
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

Jameson Resources Limited | Explanatory Statement
==> picture [85 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under 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 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.

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. BONUS ISSUES
If the Company makes a pro rata bonus issue, and an Option is not exercised before the record date for that bonus issue, then on the exercise of the Option, the holder is entitled to receive the number of bonus shares which would have been issued if the Option had been exercised before the record date.
11.
NEW ISSUES AND REORGANISATION
==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 10] 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.
16
12. 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 Options equal in number to up to 10% of the Shares on issue at that time, such that those Options may vest and be exercised.
13. 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.
14. AMENDING THE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
