EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO THE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN AND THE RESOLUTIONS
On 6 March 2017 and 15 March 2017 the Company made announcements in respect of a capital raising by a Share Purchase Plan to Eligible Shareholders (" SPP Offer "). By the SPP Offer up to $754,794 will be raised.
The SPP Offer is being conducted on the same terms to a share purchase plan that is ordinarily undertaken under ASIC class order relief. Thereby, Eligible Shareholders may each apply for up to $15,000 of new Shares.
As the Company has previously conducted a share purchase plan offer in the last 12 months (the offer concluding in August 2016), ASIC class order relief (from the prospectus and fundraising provisions in Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act) will not be relied upon for the current SPP Offer. The SPP Offer will thereby be made under a prospectus and Shareholder approval is being sought by this Notice to the issue of Shares under the SPP Offer.
Shares not taken up pursuant to the SPP Offer (" Shortfall Shares ") will form the shortfall (" Shortfall Offer "). Eligible Shareholders may participate in the Shortfall Offer under the prospectus issued in connection with the SPP Offer. The Directors reserve the right to issue any Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer to unrelated parties at their discretion including to parties other than Eligible Shareholders.
Entities controlled by each of the 3 Directors (Anthony Barton, Leonid Charuckyj and Greg MacMillan) intend to participate in the SPP Offer. Specific Shareholder approval is sought for the participation of entities controlled by the 3 Directors (as they are related parties) and is the subject of Resolutions 2, 3 and 4.
In addition to the SPP Offer, the Company wishes to provide for the ability to undertake a placement of up to $300,000 to unrelated parties at the same price as the SPP Offer. This is the subject of Resolution 5.
The funds raised by the SPP Offer and any subsequent placement are intended to be applied to fund ongoing exploration and development of the Company's projects and to provide general working capital.
Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek approval for the issue of Shares to each of Anthony Barton, Leonid Charuckyj and Greg MacMillan in lieu of accrued Directors' fees.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OF SHARE PURCHASE PLAN SHARES TO UNRELATED PARTIES
As detailed in Section 1 of this Explanatory Statement, the Company is providing an opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to participate in the SPP Offer.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of SPP Offer Shares to unrelated parties.
Page 8
The SPP Offer will be conducted on the same terms as a share purchase plan that is ordinarily undertaken under ASIC Class Order relief. Thereby, Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to a total subscription limit of $15,000 of Shares per Eligible Shareholder. Eligible Shareholders will also be given the opportunity to apply for Shortfall Securities pursuant to the Shortfall Offer. The Directors reserve the right to issue any Shortfall Securities at their discretion including to unrelated parties other than Eligible Shareholders.
The SPP Offer will be made pursuant to a prospectus.
On 10 March 2017, the Company obtained a waiver from ASX under Listing Rule 7.3.8 to enable Shareholders to vote in relation to this Resolution notwithstanding that they may be successful applicants for SPP Offer Shares under the SPP Offer.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that a listed company must not issue equity securities where the number of equity securities proposed to be issued represents more than 15% of the company’s shares then on issue without the approval of shareholders.
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the SPP Offer Shares pursuant to the SPP Offer (including any Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer) without using the Company's placement capacities.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities to issue is 179,712,776 Shares.
-
(b) The SPP Offer Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
-
(c) The SPP Offer Shares will be issued at an issue price of 0.42 cents each.
-
(d) The SPP Offer Shares will be issued to Eligible Shareholders who successfully apply for Shares under the SPP Offer. None of these Shareholders will be a related party of the Company. Any securities that constitute Shortfall Securities will be issued to Eligible Shareholders or sophisticated and professional investors, neither of whom will be a related party of the Company.
-
(e) The SPP Offer Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares.
-
(f) The Company intends to use the funds raised from the SPP Offer to fund ongoing exploration and development of the Company's projects and to provide general working capital.
-
(g) It is intended that the SPP Offer Shares will be issued progressively.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2, 3 AND 4 - APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR CONTROLLED ENTITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN SPP OFFER
Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may issue SPP Offer Shares to entities controlled by each of Anthony Barton, Leonid Charuckyj and Greg Macmillan or their nominees (as these entities are related parties). Anthony Barton, Leonid Charuckyj and Greg MacMillan are the Directors of the Company.
Each Eligible Shareholder (being a registered shareholder as at the record date whose address on the register is in Australia or New Zealand) is entitled to subscribe for up to
Page 9
$15,000 of Shares. Anthony Barton controls 6 Eligible Shareholders and therefore in total these Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to $90,000 of SPP Offer Shares. Leonid Charuckyj controls 3 Eligible Shareholders and therefore in total these Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to $45,000 of SPP Offer Shares. Greg MacMillan controls 2 Eligible Shareholders and therefore in total these Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to $30,000 of SPP Offer Shares
Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

-
(f) The Company intends to use the funds raised from the SPP Offer to fund ongoing exploration and development of the Company's projects and to provide general working capital.
The Directors of the Company independent of the particular Director to be issued the securities in each case have resolved that the issue of the securities the subject of the relevant Resolution is on reasonable arms length terms for the Company as the particular Director will be issued with securities on the same terms as unrelated parties and otherwise on commercial terms. By reason of this, no separate related party approval under the Corporations Act is sought.
4. RESOLUTIONS 5 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO UNRELATED PARTIES
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval so that the Company may undertake a placement of up to $300,000 to unrelated parties at the same price as the SPP Offer.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of sections 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
-
