On 16 October 2024, the Company issued 2,946,429 Listed Options (ASX code: L1MO) (“Advisor Options”) in consideration for services provided to the Company by S3 Consortium Pty Ltd (Stocks Digital).

The Advisor Options were issued without the prior approval of Shareholders utilising the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 2,946,429 Advisor Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and all other purposes.

4.1. ASX 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Advisor Options referred to in this Resolution does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made (and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issues did not breach Listing Rule 7.1). If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and consequently, does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

12

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 issue under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to ratify, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the previous issue of the Advisor Options on 16 October 2024.

4.2. Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the 2,946,429 Advisor Options issued on 16 October 2024 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 under that rule over the 12 month period following the issue date.

In the event that Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the issue of Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule over the 12 month period following the issue date.

4.3. Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The issue of 4,000,000 Shares referred to in this Resolution does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it

14

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 issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made (and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issues did not breach Listing Rule 7.1). If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and consequently, 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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issue under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to ratify, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the previous issue of the 4,000,000 Shares on 21 August 2024.

5.2. Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the 4,000,000 issued on 21 August 2024 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 under that rule over the 12 month period following the issue date.

In the event that Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the issue of Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule over the 12 month period following the issue date.

5.4. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6. Resolution 6ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities (10% Placement Capacity)

6.1. Background

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 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%.

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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $7.44 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2. Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (c) the time and date on which 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).

17

Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; or

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for working capital and to fund exploration activities.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

  • (b) Based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 14 October 2024.

  • (c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of ordinary Shares available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

  • (e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

  • (b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

  • (c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

  • (e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to

19

determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service License holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

Issue or agreement to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to AGM

The Company has not previously gained approval, issued or agreed to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM.

This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.

6.3. Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution

7. Resolution 7: Spill Resolution (Conditional Item)

7.1. Background

This Resolution is conditional and will only be put to the Meeting if more than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, which will constitute as a ‘second strike’.

The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution ( Spill Resolution ) to be put to vote are set out in Section 1.1 of the Explanatory Statement.

At the 2023 Annual General Meeting, the Company’s Remuneration Report, contained in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report, was passed by a majority less than 75%. Accordingly, this Spill Resolution is required to be included in this Notice of meeting in accordance with section 250V(1) of the Corporations Act.

The effect of this Resolution being passed is the Company will be required to hold another meeting of Shareholders within 90 days of the date of this Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) and all of the directors who were in office when the 2024 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Any vacating Directors will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. If Resolution 1 passes on a majority of more than 75%, the Spill Resolution will be deemed withdrawn and any votes cast on the Spill Resolution prior to the withdrawal of the Spill Resolution will be treated as invalid.

20

7.2. Majority Required for Spill Resolution

If the Spill Resolution is put to the meeting, the Spill Resolution will be carried if it is passed by an ordinary majority of votes cast (more than 50%).

In the event that a Spill Meeting is required, the date of the Spill Meeting will be notified to Shareholders in due course and a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to Shareholders with details about those persons who will seek election as Directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting. Nominations for Director appointments at the Spill Meeting may be made in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, and may include the Directors listed below.

7.3. The Spill Meeting

If a Spill Meeting is held, pursuant to section 250V(1)(b)(i) of the Corporations Act, the Directors listed below, being the Directors who were in office when the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 was approved, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting* (unless they resign before the Spill Meeting):

1. Craig Sharpe*

  • This assumes the director is elected/re-elected at this Meeting pursuant to Resolution 2.

Francesco Cannavo has given notice of his resignation as a director, to be effective 28 November 2024, he will not stand for re-election in the event of a Spill Meeting.

Mr. Sharpe is eligible to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

A voting exclusion statement will not apply to the Spill Meeting and all Shareholders will be entitled to vote on the Director appointments at the Spill Meeting.
