Explanatory Memorandum
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of. Please take the time to read through this document.
Financial reports
Whilst the Corporations Act requires the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2023 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting, neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt those reports.
Shareholders will, however, have a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to raise questions on these reports. Each Shareholder will have had access to a copy of the Annual Report, which contains the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2023.
In addition to asking questions at the Annual General Meeting, Shareholders may address written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor, BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO ), if the question is relevant to:
-
the content of the auditor’s report; or
-
the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. Under section 250PA(1) of the Corporations Act, a Shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held. Written questions for the auditor must therefore be delivered by 5 pm (AEST) on 14 November 2023. Please send any written questions for BDO to [email protected] or to the Company’s offices, addressed to the attention of the Company Secretary, at Level 5, 167 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000.
If BDO or its representative is at the meeting, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for the members at the meeting to ask BDO or its representative questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the auditor’s report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Resolution 1 Re-election of Director, Mr. Jeffrey Gerard
Rule 13.5(d)(i) of the Constitution requires that a re-election of directors occur at each annual general meeting of the Company, whereby two directors (given there are currently 4 directors on the Board) must retire from office (excluding Mr Brian Gell who is proposed to be elected under resolution 3 following casual vacancy appointments).
Mr Gerard therefore retires pursuant to rule 13.5(d)(i) of the Constitution, and offers himself for re-election as director of the Company in accordance with the Constitution.
Mr Gerard has over 40 years’ experience in the resources industry, both domestically and abroad, in various technical, operational, commercial and executive management roles. His wide-ranging career has included roles as Chief Operating Officer for Xstrata Coal’s operations in the Americas and Xstrata Coal South Africa. Following Glencore’s 2013 merger with Xstrata,
Mr Gerard served as Chief Development Officer for Glencore Coal and then as CEO of TSX-listed Katanga Mining, a subsidiary of Glencore, and as head of Glencore’s assets in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Following his retirement from Glencore in 2020,
Mr Gerard established a management consulting business providing services to domestic and international companies in the areas of business strategy, technical evaluations, funding, investment and divestments.
The Directors, with Mr. Gerard abstaining, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the reelection of Mr. Jeffrey Gerard.

Resolution 2 Re-election of Director, Mr. Ferdian Purnamasidi
Rule 13.5(d)(i) of the Constitution requires that a re-election of directors occur at each annual general meeting of the Company, whereby two directors (given there are currently 4 directors on the Board) must retire from office (excluding Mr Brian Gell who is proposed to be elected under resolution 3 following casual vacancy appointments).
Mr Purnamasidi therefore retires pursuant to rule 13.5(d)(i) of the Constitution, and offers himself for reelection as director of the Company in accordance with the Constitution.
Ferdian was appointed to the board on 26 April 2016 and is an executive at the Salim Group and a representative for KMP Investments Pte Ltd, subsidiary of Salim Group. He is responsible for managing the Salim Group’s investments in Australia. The Salim Group is a diversified multinational business group which owns various interests in mining, food products, agribusiness, retail, automobile, banking and financial and property sectors. Ferdian is also the Managing Director of Mach Energy Australia Pty Ltd which owns the world-class Mt Pleasant coal operation in the Hunter Valley region, New South Wales.
Ferdian graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from the Curtin University of Western Australia.
The Directors, with Mr. Purnamasidi abstaining, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr. Ferdian Purnamasidi.
Resolution 3 Election of Director, Mr. Brian Gell
Rule 13.5(b) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 state that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company.
Mr. Gell was appointed by the Board as a director of the Company (to fill a casual vacancy) on 4 April 2023, and therefore retires pursuant to rule 13.5(b) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, and offers himself for election as a director of the Company in accordance with the Constitution.
Mr Gell has over 40 years’ experience in the construction industry having delivered projects in civil and municipal infrastructure, ferrous and non-ferrous metal minerals processing, petrochemical, mining and industrial sectors. His responsibilities have included project management, business development, contract negotiations and leading business units charged with delivery of mineral processing plants and related facilities. Mr Gell’s career has included roles as General Manager for Mining and Metals – Eastern Region for Ausenco, Director of Projects for QCoal as well as positions with Leighton Asia and Leighton Contractors.
In 2014, Mr Gell established a company providing management advisory services in the areas of civil infrastructure, mining infrastructure, contract mining and process plant design, construction, commissioning and operations.
The Board, with Mr. Gell abstaining, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the election of Mr. Brian Gell.

Resolution 4 Remuneration Report
Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires that the directors’ report include a separately identified section addressing the remuneration of its Key Management Personnel. Listed entities are further required under section 250R of the Corporations Act to submit the Remuneration Report for adoption at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report is set out in KGL’s 2023 Annual Report, which was released to ASX on 21 September 2023.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors and specified executives of the Company and sets out remuneration details for each director and specified executive.
As detailed in the Remuneration Report, the Board believes that the remuneration granted to directors and specified executives is in line with the current employment market and a reflection of the current commodity market conditions.
Shareholders will be asked to vote at the Annual General Meeting on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report. The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
The resolution of Shareholders is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will continue to monitor the progress of the Company’s projects and exploration activities in relation to the appropriateness of the remuneration of the Board and members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.
As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the directors of the Company, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act, abstains from making a recommendation regarding this resolution.
