2.1 Impact of COVID-19 on the Meeting

The health and safety of members and personnel, and other stakeholders, is the highest priority and the Company is acutely aware of the current circumstances resulting from COVID19.

Based on the best information available to the Board at the time of the Notice, the Board considers it will be in a position to hold an 'in-person' meeting to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in and vote at the Meeting, while complying with the COVID-19 restrictions regarding gatherings. The Company, however, strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affects the position above, the Company will provide an update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an ASX announcement.

2.2

Voting in person

Given the current COVID-19 circumstances and in the interests of public health and safety of our Shareholders, the Company will implement arrangements to allow Shareholders to physically attend the Meeting in accordance with COVID-19 protocols and government advice.

The Company will strictly comply with applicable limitations on indoor gatherings in force at the time of the Meeting. If you attend the Meeting in person, you will be required to adhere to COVID-19 protocols in place at the time of the Meeting.

2.3

Proxies

Shareholders are encouraged to vote by voting online or by completing a Proxy Form.

Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Lodgement instructions (which include the ability to lodge proxies electronically) are set out in the Proxy Form to the Notice of Meeting.

3. Resolution 1– Approval of Performance Rights and Options Plan

3.1

General

The Company considers that it is desirable to adopt an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders' approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled " Performance Rights and Options Plan " ( Plan ) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of the key terms and conditions of which is in Schedule 2. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Joint Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments regarding the Plan.

3.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years up to a nominated maximum amount without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. For this reason, the Company is also seeking approval under Resolution 2(a), (b) and (c) for the issue of Securities to certain Directors pursuant to the Plan.

3.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the Plan:

  • (a) the material terms of the Plan are summarised in Schedule 2;

Page 9

  • (b) the Plan is a new employee incentive scheme and has not previously been approved by Shareholders. No Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Plan;

  • (c) the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan following approval of Resolution 1 shall not exceed 10% of the Company's Equity Securities currently on issue, subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganisation of capital and further subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules. Based on the number of Equity Securities currently on issue, 10% equates to a maximum of 47,950,800 Equity Securities; and

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3.4

Board recommendation

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 1 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

4. Resolution 2(a), (b) and (c) – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Directors

4.1

General

The Company announced on 13 August 2020 that the Board had resolved, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Long Term Incentives ( LTI ) to Directors and Key Management Personnel. Tranche milestone hurdles were set at achieving a Share price greater than $0.15, $0.20 and $0.25 each which was a premium of 123%, 198% and 273% respectively to the 20day VWAP on the day of the Board resolution.

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and the adoption of the Plan (refer to Resolution 1), to issue up to a total of 13,960,000 Performance Rights to Messrs Jason Stirbinskis, Ross Ashton and Kevin Wilson ( Directors ), or their respective nominees, as follows:

The Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Plan, the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 2.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are summarised in Schedule 3.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

Subject to the adoption of the Plan (refer to Resolution 1), Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to a total of 13,960,000 Performance Rights under the Plan to the Directors, or their respective nominees.

4.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a Director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b)

  • an associate of a Director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) 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),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

Page 13

The proposed issue of the Securities falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Related Party elects for the Performance Rights to be granted to his nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) seeks the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jason Stirbinskis, Mr Ross Ashton and Mr Kevin Wilson (or their respective nominees) in the proportions listed in Section 4.1.

If Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jason Stirbinskis, Mr Ross Ashton and Mr Kevin Wilson (or their respective nominees) and the Company will consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, including by the payment of cash.

4.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan to Mr Jason Stirbinskis, Mr Ross Ashton and Mr Kevin Wilson (or their respective nominees), each of whom is a Director;

  • (b) Messrs Stirbinskis, Ashton and Wilson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1;

  • (c) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is 13,960,000, as set out below:

  • (i) 9,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Jason Stirbinskis;

  • (ii) 2,980,000 Performance Rights to Mr Ross Ashton; and

  • (iii) 1,980,000 Performance Rights to Mr Kevin Wilson;

  • (d) the current total remuneration package for each of the Directors as at the date of this Notice are set out below:

Director Salary and fees (inclusive of
superannuation)
Jason Stirbinskis $273,750
Ross Ashton1 $50,000
Kevin Wilson1 $50,000

Note:

  1. As announced on 25 October 2019, Mr Ross Ashton and Mr Kevin Wilson have both proposed, and the Board has accepted, that no cash fees will be taken for their board duties

Page 14

over the next two years. The Company sought approval at its general meeting held on 28 November 2019 to issue 2,000,000 unquoted Options each to Mr Ashton and Mr Wilson as remuneration.

  • (e) the Directors have not previously been issued Securities under the Plan;

  • (f) The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3. The Board considers that the Performance Rights rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward the Directors for achievement of financial and non-financial business objectives over a four year period. The Company's valuation of the Performance Rights is set out at Schedule 5, and a summary is set out at section 4.5(c);

  • (g) the Performance Rights will be issued no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (h) the Performance Rights will have an issue price of nil as they will be issued as part of each Director's remuneration package;

  • (i) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (j) no loan will be provided to the Directors in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights;

  • (k) details of any Securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Securities under the Plan after Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (l) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 grant of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances and is unable to form a quorum to pass Resolution 2(a), (b) and (c) due to their personal interest. Accordingly, the Company

Page 15

resolves to put the Resolutions to Shareholders and is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to the Directors pursuant to Resolution 2(a), (b) and (c).

4.5 Information requirements for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights:

(a) Identity of the related parties to whom Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) permit financial benefits to be given

The Performance Rights will be issued to Messrs Stirbinskis, Ashton and Wilson or their respective nominees.

(b) Nature of the financial benefit

Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights in the amounts specified in Section 4.1 above to the Directors or their nominees. The Performance Rights are to be issued in accordance with the Plan in Schedule 2 and otherwise on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3.

The Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Performance Rights will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.

(c) Valuation of financial benefit

Using a trinomial valuation model, the Company's valuation of the Performance Rights is in Schedule 5, with a summary for each Director below:

Director Value of Performance Rights ($)
Jason Stirbinskis 576,125
Ross Ashton 190,750
Kevin Wilson 126,747

(d) Remuneration of Directors

The total annual remuneration arrangements current for each of the Directors as at the date of this Notice is set out at Section 4.3(d).

Page 16

(e) Existing relevant interests

At the date of this Notice, the Directors hold the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:

Directors Shares Unquoted
Options
Quoted
Options
Performance
Rights
Jason Stirbinskis1 616,667 8,100,000 1,908,334 -
Ross Ashton2 8,473,898 3,562,500 1,919,780 -
Kevin Wilson3 2,172,630 3,250,000 309,955 580,000

Notes:

  1. Comprising of Options with an exercise price between $0.10 and $0.32 each on or before dates ranging between 16 August 2021 and 30 September 2024.

  2. Comprising of Options with an exercise price between $0.10 and $0.32 each on or before dates ranging between 16 August 2021 and 1 July 2023.

  3. Comprising of Options with an exercise price between $0.02 and $0.16 each on or before dates ranging between 31 December 2020 and 18 May 2022. Mr Wilson also holds 290,000 Performance Rights exercisable at $0.96 each expiring 31 December 2020 and 290,000 Performance Rights exercisable on delivery of a gold resource of in excess of 1Moz at Chuscal, expiring 31 December 2020.

Assuming that Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) is approved by Shareholders, all of the Performance Rights are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, the respective interests of the Directors in the Company would be as follows:

  • (i) Mr Jason Stirbinskis' interest would represent approximately 2.53% of the Company's expanded capital;

  • (ii) Mr Ross Ashton's interest would represent approximately 3.01% of the Company's expanded capital; and

  • (iii) Mr Kevin Wilson's interest would represent approximately 1.09% of the Company's expanded capital.

  • (f)

Trading history

The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:

Highest: $0.165 per Share on 10 September 2020

Lowest: $0.016 per Share on 23 March 2020

Page 17

The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.165 per Share on 10 September 2020.

(g) Dilution

The issue of the Performance Rights will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Performance Rights vest and are exercised. The potential dilution effect is 3.67% based on the assumption that the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 366,231,032 Shares on 11 September 2020) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Performance Rights. The exercise of all of the Performance Rights will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 3.67% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all Performance Rights are exercised). The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.

(h)

Corporate governance

Mr Jason Sitrbinskis is the Managing Director of the Company and therefore the Board believes that the grant of the Performance Rights is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the 3rd and 4th editions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Board acknowledges the grant of the Performance Rights to the non-executive Directors, Ross Ashton and Kevin Wilson is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 3rd and 4th editions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Performance Rights to the non-executive Directors reasonable in the circumstances.

(i) Taxation consequences

There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax).

(j) Director recommendations

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) due to their material personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

(k) Other information

The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive).

4.6 Board recommendation

Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) due to their material personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Shares to Mr Ross Ashton

  • 5.1

General

Pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 253,601 Shares to Mr Ross Ashton (or his nominee) at a deemed issue price of $0.0764, being the 10 day VWAP from 11 August 2020 comprising of the following:

  • (a) 102,231 Shares in lieu of $7,812.07 of unpaid Directors fees for Andes Resources Limited; and

  • (b) 151,370 Shares in lieu of reimbursement of $11,567.02 of private expenses.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of Shares to Mr Ross Ashton or his nominees.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Ross Ashton who has a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

  • 5.2

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:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue of Shares 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.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Page 19

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and the Company's obligation to pay Mr Ashton for unpaid Director fees and reimburse Mr Ross for private expenses will be discharged.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and will not be able to discharge the debt owing to Mr Ashton of $19,379.09 noting that Mr Ashton will have the right to call on such debts, subject to his fiduciary duties.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Mr Ross Ashton (or his nominee);

  • (b) Mr Ashton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1;

  • (c) a maximum of 253,601 Shares (with a deemed issue price of $0.0764 per Share being the 10 day VWAP from 11 August 2020) will be issued to Mr Ashton (or his nominees), which comprises of:

  • (i) 102,231 Shares in lieu of $7,812.07 unpaid Directors fees for Andes Resources Limited; and

  • (ii) 151,370 Shares in lieu of reimbursement of $11,567.02 for private expenses;

  • (d) the Shares issued 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;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (f) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of a settlement for outstanding unpaid director fees and liabilities owing to Mr Ashton and therefore no funds will be raised as a result of the issue;

  • (g) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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.

Page 20

The Board (other than Mr Ross Ashton, who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Shares as the agreement to grant the Shares, was negotiated on arm's length terms.

6. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Shares to Mr Kevin Wilson

6.1

General

Pursuant to Resolution 4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 2,185,492 Shares to Mr Kevin Wilson (or his nominee) at a deemed issue price of $0.0764 per Share to be paid in lieu of unpaid salary for an approximately 15 month period when he was Executive Chairman under the 2018 Executive Services Agreement.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Shares to Mr Kevin Wilson or his nominees.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Wilson who has a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6.2

Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 5.2.

The proposed issue of Shares 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.

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of Shares will not be included under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and the Company's obligation to pay Mr Wilson for unpaid salary will be discharged.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and will not be able to discharge the debt owing to Mr Wilson of $167,005 noting that Mr Wilson will have the right to call on such debts, subject to his fiduciary duties.

6.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Mr Kevin Wilson (or his nominee);

  • (b) Mr Wilson is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1;

Page 21

  • (c) a maximum of 2,185,492 Shares (with a deemed issue price of $0.0764 per Share being the 10 day VWAP from 11 August 2020) will be issued to Mr Wilson (or his nominees) in lieu of $167,005 unpaid salary for an approximate 15 month period when Mr Wilson was the Company's executive chairman;

  • (d) the Shares issued 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;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (f) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of a settlement for outstanding unpaid salary owing to Mr Wilson and therefore no funds will be raised as a result of the issue;

  • (g) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • 6.4

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 Board (other than Mr Kevin Wilson, who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Shares as the agreement to grant the Shares in lieu of cash payment and under the 2018 Executive Services Agreement, was negotiated on arm's length terms.

7. Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Options to Mr Simon Brown

7.1

General

On 21 August 2020 the Company issued 3,000,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.07 each and expiring on or before 1 July 2025 ( Settlement Options ) to the former Director of the Company, Mr Simon Brown (or his nominees), to settle a dispute between Mr Brown and Andes Resources Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Settlement Options were issued pursuant to a deed of settlement announced on 13 August 2020 ( Deed of Settlement ) in full and final settlement of the claim. Details of the dispute are set out in the Company's announcement dated 26 February 2020.

The Settlement Options were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

Page 22

Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Settlement Options.

7.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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.

The issue of the Settlement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Settlement Options.

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 Listing Rules 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 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 it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company's ongoing capacity to issue or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without obtaining prior Shareholder approval will continue to be reduced to the extent of 3,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Settlement Options.

7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Settlement Options:

  • (a) a total of 3,000,000 Options were issued on 21 August 2020 to Mr Simon Brown (or his nominee). Mr Brown is not a related party of the Company or a Material Investor;

  • (b) the Settlement Options are exercisable at $0.07 each on or before 1 July 2025 and were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4;

  • (c) the Settlement Options were issued for nil cash consideration, as part of a settlement between Mr Brown and Andes Resources Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as announced by the Company on 26 February 2020. Accordingly, no funds were raised from the issue;

  • (d) the Settlement Options were issued under a Deed of Settlement, a summary of which is set out in Section 7.4; and

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Page 23

7.4 Summary of Deed of Settlement

Mr Brown was a former employee and director of Andes Resources Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As announced on 26 February 2020, Mr Brown brought a claim against Andes Resources Limited. The Settlement Options were issued in partial settlement of the claim.

The Company confirms that there are no other material terms contained in the Deed of Settlement.

7.5 Board recommendation

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

8. Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares to S3 Consortium Pty Ltd

8.1 General

On 11 September 2020 the Company issued 1,300,000 Shares to S3 Consortium Pty Ltd (ACN 135 239 968) ( S3 Consortium ) under the terms and conditions of a basic services agreement ( Services Agreement ) dated 4 September 2020 in consideration for the provision of consultancy services.

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay S3 Consortium a fee of $100,000 (exclusive of GST) via the issue of 1,300,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.0769 each by 30 September 2020. The GST component of the fees will be paid in cash by the Company.

The Services Agreement contains indemnities and warranties considered standard for agreements of this nature.

The Shares were issued using the Company's existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Shares.

8.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Summaries of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are contained in Section 7.2 above.

The issue of the Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Shares.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 24

If Resolution 6 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 it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company's ongoing capacity to issue or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without obtaining prior Shareholder approval will continue to be reduced to the extent of 1,300,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Shares.

8.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Shares:

  • (a) a total of 1,300,000 Shares were issued on 11 September 2020 to S3 Consortium (or its nominees), whom is not a related party of the Company or a Material Investor;

  • (b) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (c) the Shares were issued for nil cash consideration, calculated on the basis of a deemed issue price of $0.0769, based on a 18 day VWAP from 21 August 2020. Accordingly, no funds were raised from the issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued under a Services Agreement, a summary of which is contained in Section 8.1; and

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

8.4 Board recommendation

Notes:

The valuations took into account the following matters:

  1. The following Vesting Conditions apply to the Performance Rights:

  2. (a) 3,100,000 Performance Rights:

Convertible into Shares upon the achievement of the greater of the two following milestones:

  • (i) the Company achieving a 20-day VWAP of not less than $0.15 on or before 31 December 2024; or

  • (ii) the Company achieving a closing share price that is 105% of the Company’s closing share price on the day Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) is passed. For the avoidance of doubt, this milestone will be calculated as follows: where the relevant closing share price is $0.16, the vesting hurdle shall be $0.16 x 1.05 = $0.168.

  • (b) 5,430,000 Performance Rights:

Convertible into Shares upon the achievement of the greater of the two following milestones:

  • (i) the Company achieving a 20-day VWAP of not less than $0.20 on or before 31 December 2024; or

Page 38

  • (ii) the Company achieving a closing share price that is 105% of the Company’s closing share price on the day Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) is passed. For the avoidance of doubt, this milestone will be calculated as follows: where the relevant closing share price is $0.21, the vesting hurdle shall be $0.21 x 1.05 = $0.22.and

  • (c) 5,430,000 Performance Rights:

Convertible into Shares upon the achievement of the greater of the two following milestones:

  • (i) the Company achieving a 20-day VWAP of not less than $0.25 on or before 31 December 2024; or

  • (ii) the Company achieving a closing share price that is 105% of the Company’s closing share price on the day Resolution 2(a) to (c) (inclusive) is passed. For the avoidance of doubt, this milestone will be calculated as follows: where the relevant closing share price is $0.26, the vesting hurdle shall be $0.26 x 1.05 = $0.273.

  • Performance Rights with non-market based vesting conditions can only be exercised following the satisfaction of the Vesting Condition, a change of control or winding up occurring, or a takeover bid becoming unconditional.

  • The valuation of Performance Rights assumes that the exercise of a right does not affect the value of the underlying asset.

  • Given that the Performance Rights are to be issued for no cash consideration, the value of the Performance Rights is reflected in the underlying Share price at the valuation date. The Share price used is based on the closing price on 24 August 2020, being $0.076. No security issues after 24 August 2020 date have been considered in the valuation.

  • No consideration is to be paid upon exercising the Performance Rights.
