EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 & 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
1.1 Background
As announced by the Company on 21 October 2024, the Company has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors for a placement to raise $8,050,000 (before costs) through an issue of a total of 53,666,666 Shares at an issue price of $0.15 per share ( Placement ).
The Placement will be completed in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) 44,166, 666 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (the subject of Resolutions 1 & 2); and
-
(b) 9,500,000 Shares consisting of 3,500,000 Shares which will be issued to participating Directors (along with their related parties) and 6,000,000 Shares which will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors, will be subject to Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolutions 3-5).
1.2 General
Resolutions 1 & 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 44,166,666 Shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share to raise $6,624,999.90.
23,722,277 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 20,444,389 Shares were issued on 25 October 2024 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2).
1.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
1.4 Listing Rule 7.4
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.
7
1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
1.6 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |
Professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Taurus Capital Pty Ltd seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |
| Number and class of Securities issued |
44,166,666 Shares were issued on the following basis: (a) 23,722,277 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and (b) 20,444,389 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). |
| Terms of Securities | The Shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities were issued |
25 October 2024 |
| Price or other consideration the Company received for the Securities |
$0.15 per Share for Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue was to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards: (a) the completion of the A1 Mine ramp up and expansion for high-grade gold production; (b) recommencement of drilling at the A1 Mine; and (c) general working capital and drilling at Maldon. |
| Voting Exclusion Statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
| Compliance | The issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. |
2. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES
2.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 6,000,000 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.15 per Share to raise up to $900,000.
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.
8
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and no further funds will be raised.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |
Professional and sophisticated investors who will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Taurus Capital Pty Ltd seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. The Company confirms that no Material Persons will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
6,000,000 Shares will be issued. |
| Terms of Securities | The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Shares within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Shares later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
$0.15 per Share. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue was to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards: (a) the completion of the A1 Mine ramp up and expansion for high-grade gold production; (b) recommencement of drilling at the A1 Mine; and (c) general working capital and drilling at Maldon. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
3. RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES TO RELATED PARTIES
3.1 General
These Resolutions seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,333,333 Shares to Steven Formica (or their nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 4) and 166,667 Shares to Bradley Valiukas (or their nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 5) to enable their participation in the Company’s capital raising activities on the same terms as unrelated participants.
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:
9
-
(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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Steven Formica and Bradley Valiukas are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Steven Formica and Bradley Valiukas who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Securities will be issued to Steven Formica and Bradley Valiukas (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as Securities issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.3
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 issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 12.5. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and no further funds will be raised.
3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
Steve Formica and Brad Valiukas (or their nominee(s)). |
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |

The purpose of the issue was to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards: (a) the completion of the A1 Mine ramp up and expansion for high-grade gold production; (b) recommencement of drilling at the A1 Mine; and (c) general working capital and drilling at Maldon. |

4. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO S3 CONSORTIUM PTY LTD
4.1 General
The Company and S3 Consortium Pty Ltd (ACN 135 239 968) ( S3 Consortium ) entered into an investor services mandate ( Investor Services Mandate ) on 15 October 2024, pursuant to which S3 Consortium agreed to provide investor relations services for a period of 24 months from 15 October 2024 – 14 October 2026. These services are to be provided in exchange for $37,500 cash and $375,000 worth of the Company’s equity at the same terms as the Company’s next capital raise.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 2,500,000 Shares to S3 Consortium Pty Ltd on 25 October 2024 in consideration for investor relations services provided by S3 Consortium.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.3 above.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, 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 date of the issue.
4.3 Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 1.4 above.
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.
11
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue 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 the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue 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 the issue.

6.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
6.3
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 14.2 above.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.4
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
14
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within 15 months after the date of the Meeting. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolution are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company may be required to remunerate the Directors in some other form, such as additional cash payments.
6.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Tranche 5 Performance Rights
A Performance Right will automatically lapse upon the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 4 years from the date of issue of the Performance Right; and
-
(ii) the holder ceasing to be an officer (and employee, if applicable) or an employee of the Company (where they are not an officer at the time of issue), as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Board at its absolute discretion.
(e) Consideration
The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.
- (f) Share ranking
All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Shares.
(g) Application to ASX
The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.
(h) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion
Within 5 business days after the date that the Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:
-
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights converted;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
-
(iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.
If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
- (i) Transfer of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights are not transferable.
(j) Participation in new issues
A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Performance Right.
24
(k) Reorganisation of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.
(l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) no changes will be made to the Performance Rights.
(m) Dividend and voting rights
The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.
(n) Change in control
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the rules in the Plan, if a Change of Control Event occurs, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s securities issued under the Plan will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the Change of Control Event.
(o) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares
If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
-
(ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
(p) No rights to return of capital
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
(q) Rights on winding up
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.
(r) ASX Listing Rule compliance
The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.
25
(s) No other rights
A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board.

The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |

29

The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Performance Rights will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the Participant becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule. |

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Performance Rights, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Performance Rights are exercised. |
| Reorganisation | If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Performance Rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Buy-Back | Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Performance Rights and Shares issued upon exercise of Performance Rights in accordance with the terms of the Plan. |
| Employee Share Trust |
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Performance Rights for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Performance Rights. |
| Amendment of Plan | Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Performance Rights have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect. No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants. |
| Plan duration | The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Performance Rights granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Performance Rights may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant. |
| Income Tax Assessment Act |
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment_ Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise. |
