A vote may be cast on Resolutions 1 and 4-8 by a KMP or a Closely Related Party of a KMP if:

  1. the KMP is acting as proxy and the proxy form specifies how the proxy is to vote, and the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is otherwise excluded from voting on these Resolutions as described above; or

  2. the KMP is the Chair voting an undirected proxy which expressly authorises the Chair to vote the proxy on a resolution connected with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote in relation to Resolutions 1 and 4-8 if it is cast by:

  1. a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides

Voting by Proxy

The Corporations Act now places certain restrictions on the ability of KMP and their Closely Related Parties to vote on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Company’s KMP. For those reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and consider appointing someone other than one of the Company’s KMP as such proxies may not be able to vote undirected proxies.

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy by marking the box at STEP 1 on the Proxy Form, then you are providing express authorisation for the Chairman to vote on all Resolutions in accordance with his intentions as set out in this Notice and the Proxy Form (except where you have indicated a different voting intention by marking the voting boxes at STEP 2 on the Proxy Form).

This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chairman may exercise your proxy in relation to Resolution 1 and 4- 8 even though it is connected with remuneration of a member of KMP and is a Resolution in respect of which the Chairman of the meeting has an interest. Votes cast by the Chairman on Resolutions 1 and 4-8 other than as an authorised proxy holder will be disregarded because of his interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote available proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

Dated this 27[th] day of October 2017.

By Order of the Board

Anthony Wehby

Non-Executive Chairman and Director

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at the offices of Hall Chadwick, Level 40, 2 Park Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 at 1 pm (Sydney Time) on Wednesday, 29 November 2017.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires the Company to place its Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the last financial year before the Annual General Meeting. No resolution is required for this Item, but Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the reports and the management and performance of the Company.

Grant Thornton will also be present at the meeting and Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the Auditor.

The Company’s 2017 Annual Report has previously been sent to Shareholders and is available on the Company’s website at www.kingstonresources.com.au.

1. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act , the Board is presenting the Company’s Remuneration Report to shareholders for consideration and adoption by a non-binding vote.

The Remuneration Report was first published on 30 August 2017 in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report and has been available on the Company’s website since then. The Remuneration Report includes all of the information required by Section 300A of the Corporations Act , including:

  • (i) board policy for determining, or in relation to, the nature and amount (or value, as appropriate) of remuneration of Directors, secretaries and senior managers of the Company;

  • (ii) discussion of the relationship between such policy and the Company’s performance; and

  • (iii) the prescribed details in relation to the remuneration of each Director and certain executives.

Under the Corporations Act , the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company. However, the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future remuneration for Directors and KMP. Shareholders should note that if 25% or more of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report, then the first element in the Board spill provisions introduced in 2011 (known generally as the “two strikes rule”) will be triggered. This would require a Resolution on whether to hold a further meeting to spill the Board (“spill resolution”) to be put to Shareholders at the 2018 Annual General Meeting if a “second strike” were to occur at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report which has unanimously been adopted by resolution of the Board. An opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting. In relation to the approval of the Remuneration Report of the Company for 2016, less than 25% of the votes cast on that resolution were against it.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

2. Change of Auditors

The Company’s current auditor Grant Thornton was appointed as auditor by the shareholders at the 2010 AGM. The Company had on 11 September 2017, received a nomination for Hall Chadwick as the new auditor. Following a market assessment and board review, the Board has agreed to proceed with the nomination.

Grant Thornton will resign as the auditor of the Company, subject to approval of Hall Chadwick by shareholders pursuant to this resolution. The appointment of Hall Chadwick will take effect at the date of the AGM. Grant Thornton was responsible for the completion of the audit for the 2016/2017 financial year. If Hall Chadwick is appointed as auditor, arrangements are in place between the company, Hall Chadwick and Grant Thornton to ensure a smooth transition.

172164_2850478_2

5

In accordance with section 328B of the Corporations Act, notice in writing nominating Hall Chadwick as auditor has been given to the Company by a shareholder. A copy of this notice is shown as Annexure 1 to this Explanatory Statement.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Change in Auditors.

Resolution 3 – Election of Director – Mr Andrew Paterson

Mr Andrew Paterson having been appointed as an Executive Director of the Company on 1 March 2017 in accordance with clause 7.2 of the Company’s Constitution is standing for election in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, and being eligible, offers himself for election as a Director of the Company.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Mr Andrew Paterson as an Executive Director of the Company.

Mr Paterson is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has been employed by Kingston Resources since 2 June 2016 as Chief Geological Officer. He has been instrumental in the recent company initiatives including the acquisition of the current lithium tenements, the Livingstone and Misima Gold Projects.

Mr Paterson will continue to lead the Company’s extensive exploration program as a highly-experienced geologist with a track record of creating value in resources projects. He has held corporate, executive and operational roles in the gold, nickel sulphide and iron ore industries and holds both a Bachelor of Engineering in Geology and a Graduate Diploma in Mining from the Western Australian School of Mines.

The Board recognised that at this stage of the Company’s growth, an additional Executive Director provides the balance required to ensure robust decision-making processes with a diversity of viewpoints and the effective governance of the growing Kingston group. The Board expects to appoint another Non-Executive Director during FY18 which will provide a majority of Non-Executive Directors on the Board.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Paterson who abstains given his personal interest in the Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Paterson.

Resolutions 4-7 – Approval to grant Long Term Incentive Performance Rights and Short Term Incentive Performance Rights to the Mr Andrew Corbett and Mr Andrew Paterson

The LTI Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration.

The LTI Performance Rights automatically vest if the Company achieves a Market Capitalisation greater than $70 million on or before 30 June 2021.

All LTI Performance Rights that have not vested by 30 June 2021 will automatically lapse and be forfeited.

The unvested LTI Performance Rights of each of Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson will automatically lapse and be forfeited if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson voluntarily resign otherwise than to take up employment with a Related Body Corporate of the Company or if either are dismissed from employment for a material breach of his contract of employment, gross negligence or other conduct justifying termination without notice. LTI Performance Rights will not lapse if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson ceases employment due to death, permanent disablement, or any other circumstance in which the Board determines the LTI Performance Rights should not lapse.

Each LTI Performance Right entitles Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson to receive, upon vesting, one Share. The LTI Performance Rights will be unquoted and may not be sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged, encumbered with a security interest in or over them, or otherwise disposed of without the prior consent of the Board or where such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law. The LTI Performance Rights will not entitle Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson to receive dividends on Shares before vesting nor will they carry any voting rights.

Regulatory requirements – Resolutions 4 and 5

Listing Rule 10.14 generally provides that the approval of shareholders is required before a director of a company can acquire securities issued under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, in order for Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson to acquire a beneficial interest in the LTI Performance Rights and any Shares which may be issued on the vesting of LTI Performance Rights, the Company must first obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval for Resolutions 4 and 5 is given for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.14, then approval is not required for Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 10.15 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following further information is provided with respect to Resolutions 4 and 5:

  • (a) The LTI Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Andrew Corbett and Mr Andrew Paterson or their nominee.

  • (b) The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by Mr Corbett (pursuant to Resolution 4) is 4,977,207 LTI Performance Rights which may then convert into 4,977,207 Shares if the Performance Hurdles and Vesting Conditions are met.

  • (c) The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by Mr Paterson (pursuant to Resolution 5) is 4,235,921 LTI Performance Rights which may then convert into 4,235,921 Shares if the Performance Hurdles and Vesting Conditions are met.

  • (d) The LTI Performance Rights will be granted for no cash consideration.

  • (e) The following directors have received securities under the LTI Plan since it was approved by Shareholders on 4 July 2016:

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 4 and 5 is on page 2 of the Notice of Meeting.

  • (h) There are no loans proposed to be granted to Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson for the grant of the LTI Performance Rights.

  • (i) The LTI Performance Rights will be granted as soon as practicable after the Meeting and in any event within 12 months of the Meeting.

The grant of the LTI Performance Rights will confer a financial benefit on both Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson. However, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of the related party benefit provisions of the Corporations Act (particularly section 208 of the Corporations Act) on the basis that the benefit is considered by the other Directors to constitute reasonable remuneration and, therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

Having considered the Company’s circumstances and both Mr Corbett’s position and Mr Paterson’s position with the Company, the Board other than Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson considers that the financial benefit conferred by the grant of the LTI Performance Rights to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson is reasonable and therefore, the exception in section 211 applies.

Short Term Incentive Performance Rights – Resolutions 6 and 7

The Company proposes to grant 6,399,266 STI Performance Rights to Mr Andrew Corbett and 5,446,184 STI Performance Rights to Mr Andrew Paterson.

The key terms of the STI Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson are as follows:

The STI Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration.

The performance and vesting conditions for the STI Performance Rights are as follows:

  • (a) Up to 50% of the STI Performance Rights will automatically vest if, the 30 day VWAP at 30 June 2018 is between 150% and 200% greater than $0.019 per Share

  • (b) Up to 25% of the STI Performance Rights will vest, at the Board’s discretion, upon the achievement of business development measures, including the delivery of the Company’s Business Development Plan for 30 June 2018.

  • (c) Up to 25% of the STI Performance Rights will vest, at the Boards discretion, upon the achievement of operational and management objectives measured against the Company’s Operational Plan by 30 June 2018.

All STI Performance Rights that have not vested by 31 July 2018 will automatically lapse and be forfeited.

The unvested STI Performance Rights of Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson will automatically lapse and be forfeited if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson voluntarily resigns otherwise than to take up employment with a Related Body Corporate of the Company or if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson are dismissed from employment for a material breach of his contract of employment, gross negligence or other conduct justifying termination without notice. STI Performance Rights will not lapse if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson ceases employment due to death, permanent disablement, or any other circumstance in which the Board determines the STI Performance Rights should not lapse.

Each STI Performance Right entitles Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson to receive, upon vesting, one Share. The STI Performance Rights will be unquoted and may not be sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged, encumbered with a security interest in or over them, or otherwise disposed of without the prior consent of the Board or where such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law. The STI Performance Rights will not entitle Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson to receive dividends on Shares before vesting nor will they carry any voting rights.

Regulatory requirements – Resolution 6 and 7

Listing Rule 10.11 generally provides that Directors may not be issued any securities in the Company without the approval of Shareholders.

If approval for Resolutions 6 and 7 is given for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 then approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.11 and 10.13, the following further information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed grant of STI Performance Rights to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson:

i) The STI Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Andrew Corbett and Mr Paterson or their nominees.

  • ii) The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by Mr Corbett (pursuant to Resolution 6) is 6,399,266 STI Performance Rights which may then convert into 6,399,266 Shares if the Performance Hurdles and Vesting Conditions are met.

  • iii) The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by Mr Paterson (pursuant to Resolution 7) is 5,446,184 STI Performance Rights which may then convert into 5,446,184 Shares if the Performance Hurdles and Vesting Conditions are met.

  • iv) The STI Performance Rights will be granted for nil consideration and no funds will be raised from the grant of STI Performance Rights, or issue of Share upon the vesting of STI Performance Rights.

  • v) The full terms and conditions of the STI Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson are set out in Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Statement.

  • vi) The STI Performance Rights will be granted as soon as practicable after the Meeting and in any event within 1 month of the Meeting.

  • vii) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolutions 6 and 7 is set out on page 2 of the Notice of Meeting.

The grant of the STI Performance Rights will confer a financial benefit on Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson. However, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of the related party benefit provisions of the Corporations Act (particularly section 208 of the Corporations Act) on the basis that the benefit is considered by the other Directors to constitute reasonable remuneration and, therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Section 211 provides that shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

Having considered the Company’s circumstances and Mr Corbett’s and Mr Paterson’s executive positions with the Company, the Board other than Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson considers that the financial benefit conferred by the grant of the STI Performance Rights to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson is reasonable and therefore, the exception in section 211 applies.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors other than Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Resolution 8 – Non-Executive Remuneration

In accordance with clause 7.5(a) of the Company’s Constitution, and subject to the Listing Rules 10.17 and 10.17A, the Company may pay to the Non-Executive Directors a maximum total amount of director’s fees determined by the Company in general meeting. The current maximum total amount is $150,000.

The Board seeks shareholder approval to increase the maximum total amount by $100,000 to $250,000, with the increase to take effect on and from the date of this resolution passed and to apply pro rata to the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

The Board confirms, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17, that the following securities were issued to NonExecutive Directors under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the Company’s shareholders during the last 3 years:

The current limit of $150,000 was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, with the majority of shareholders voting in favour of the resolution to increase the maximum limit to $150,000.

Details of remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2017 are set out in the Company’s Remuneration Report. The Company considers that the increase in the maximum limit will provide the Company with greater flexibility in providing remuneration for Non-Executive Directors that is consistent with current market based payments.

The Company notes that its Constitution permits the Company appoint additional Directors, which represents a possible increase in the number of Non-Executive Directors. This opportunity, together with the flexibility that an increased maximum fee limit will provide, is consistent with the Company’s focus on strategic growth.

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 8 is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors, other than the Non-Executive Directors, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

Resolution 9 – Approval of issue of Equity Securities for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Overview

Listing Rule 7.1A was introduced on 1 August 2012 and allows mid to small cap listed entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placements over a 12 month period ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This is in addition to the 15% permitted under listing rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a Market Capitalisation of $300 million or less at the time of the AGM. The Company is currently an eligible entity for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A. The Board expects that the Company will be an eligible entity as at the date of the AGM. However, if the Company is not eligible, Resolution 8 will be withdrawn.

Shareholder Approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is subject to Shareholder approval by way of special resolution at AGM. Approval cannot be sought at any other Shareholder’s meeting and Equity Securities issued under the approval (if obtained) must be issued within 12 months after the date of the AGM.

No Equity Securities can be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A before the special resolution is passed. However, if a Listing Rule 7.1A approval has been obtained, securities issued under that rule may be subsequently ratified by Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 to “refresh” an entity’s Listing Rule 7.1A additional 10% placement capacity.

Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued by the Company under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of the Notice the Company has only one class of Equity Securities on issue being Shares.

Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities during the 12-month period after the date of approval calculated in accordance with the following formula as contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

Additional Disclosure

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity:

Minimum issue price

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the Equity Securities are to be issued; or

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is then completed within 5 Business Days.

Risk of dilution

If the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk that the economic and voting power of existing Shareholders will be diluted.

There is also a risk that:

o the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than the date of approval at the AGM; and

o the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.

The below table shows the risk of dilution to existing Shareholders if the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity on the basis of:

  • the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A(2) variable “A”;

  • a 50% decrease in the current market price of Shares and a 50% increase in the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A(2) variable “A”; and

  • a 100% increase in the current market price of Shares and a 100% increase in the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A(2) variable “A”.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • The table does not show any examples of the dilution that may be caused to a specific Shareholder based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.

  • The table only shows the effect of issues under Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider the effect of any issues under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 during the 12 month period or any other issues.

  • The Issue Price of the Shares is $0.017, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 2 October 2016.

  • Final issue date

The final date that the Company can issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is 12 months from the date of the AGM, being 29 November 2018.

The approval under Resolution 8 will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • Purpose of the issue

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration to be applied to the acquisition of new investments, expenditure associated with exploration, drilling, development of the Company’s existing asset base in Western Australia, Northern Territory and PNG; or

  • non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments.

If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration which demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity is largely dependent on the prevailing market conditions and the circumstances of the Company at the time of any proposed issue. The time frame over the 12-month period which the Company expects to make placements under the Resolution 4 approval therefore cannot yet be accurately determined.

As at the date of the Notice the Company has not formed an intention to issue securities under a placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A to any particular party. The Company may approach existing Shareholders, a class or group of existing Shareholders, or new investors who have not previously been Shareholders to participate in a placement of Equity Securities.

When determining to issue the 10% Placement Capacity securities the Company will have regard to a range of factors including but not limited to:

  • the effect of the issue of Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial circumstances of the Company;

  • whether the raising of funds could be carried out by means of a pro-rata entitlements offer or other similar issue to allow existing Shareholders to participate;

  • advice from the Company’s corporate, financial and professional advisors;

  • whether a placement of Equity Securities to a vendor(s) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments is the best alternative for the Company.

  • Previous approval

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided.

172164_2850478_2
