2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

3.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of the number of Shares on issue on the basis that every 10 Shares held be consolidated into one Share.

3.2

Effect of Consolidation

The result of the Consolidation is that each Security holding will be reduced by 10 times its current level.

Any fractional entitlements of Security holders as a consequence of the Consolidation will be rounded up.

The change in capital structure of the Company following the Consolidation, which is subject to adjustments for rounding, is as follows:

Class of Security Number on Issue

As from the day that is four Business Days after the Effective Date, the Company may not register transfers on a pre-Consolidation basis. In the case of certificated holdings, this is the last day for the Company to accept transfers accompanied by certificates issued before the Consolidation.

The Company will send a notice to all Security holders not earlier than the fourth Business Day after the Effective Date and not later than the eighth Business Day after the Effective Date advising of the number of Securities held by each Security holder both before and after the capital Consolidation.

Uncertificated security holding statements or certificates (as applicable) for the Securities will be sent to Security holders not earlier than the fourth Business Day after (but not including) the Effective Date and not later than the eighth Business Day after (but not including) the Effective Date.

The Company will, from the date that is four Business Days after the Effective Date, reject transfers accompanied by a certificate or holding statement that was issued before the Consolidation.

Where a Security holder has sold his or her Securities in the Company prior to the Consolidation of ordinary Shares and the Company receives a valid transfer executed by the Security holder together with a certificate (if applicable) for those Shares, the Company will send an uncertificated security holding statement or certificate (as applicable) for the new Shares to the transferee named in the transfer.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

4. Tangold Acquisition

4.1 Background

As announced on 6 October 2016, Lindian has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire an Australian company, Tangold Pty Ltd ( Tangold ), that through its Tanzanian subsidiary, Hapa Gold Limited ( Hapa Gold ), owns or has the right to the licences comprising of the Tanzanian Projects.

Tanzanian Projects

The Tanzanian Projects include two approved prospecting licences ( PLs ) and 7 primary mining licences ( PMLs ) that are still in application. In addition to these licences, Hapa Gold Limited also has a 3-year option to acquire up to 10 additional primary mining licences within the current Uyowa Project area. A complete table of the licences is provided in Section 4.2. The location of the Tanzanian Projects is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Location of the Kahama and Uyowa Gold Projects

Uyowa Project

The Uyowa Gold Project is located within the renown Lake Victoria Gold Fields in Western Tanzania. Previous exploration has highlighted a 13 kilometre long soil and auger drilling anomaly that has been partially tested by RC and diamond drilling. Exploration was primarily focused in the northern parts of Uyowa with Ashanti Goldfields Corporation (Ashanti) undertaking a 999 meters reverse circulation drilling program in 2003. Ashanti relinquished Uyowa, returning it to its local owners who then sold it to Lake Victoria Mining Company Inc (LVMC) in 2011 via an option agreement. LVMC spent approximately $1.2 million further exploring Uyowa and conducted a 2,486 metre reverse circulation drilling program identifying two narrow, but continuous, gold rich zones extending about 1.3 kilometres in strike length.

Figure 2 shows the location of the Tenements in the Uyowa Project over the ground magnetic image of the project area. The deposit is interpreted to be located on shear zone with higher grade zones corresponding to south east trending fractures.

4.9

Advantages and disadvantages of the Acquisition

  • (a) Advantages

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (i) the Acquisition represents an attractive opportunity for the Company to invest in gold exploration assets to increase the value of the Company;

14

  • (ii) the Acquisition represents a significant opportunity for the Company to increase the scale of its activities which should increase the number and size of the investor pool that may invest in the Company’s shares;

  • (iii) the Acquisition brings to the Company a well-credentialed management team with experience in gold exploration in Tanzania;

  • (iv) the consideration for the Acquisition is comprised of Shares and Performance Shares, thereby conserving the Company’s existing cash reserves;

  • (v) the Performance Shares will convert on the satisfaction of the Milestones into fully paid ordinary shares. The Company has structured the Performance Shares to incentivize and align the interests of the Tangold Shareholders with the interests of the Company and existing Shareholders; and

  • (vi) the issue of the Consideration Securities will result in an increased market capitalisation which, combined with the Acquisition, may assist the Company to raise funds in the future to further its operations.

(b)

Disadvantages

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (i) the Company intends to alter the primary focus of its operations to gold exploration in Tanzania, which may not be consistent with the objectives of all Shareholders;

  • (ii) the Company will issue the Consideration Securities to the Tangold Shareholders which will have a dilutionary effect on the current holdings of Shareholders;

  • (iii) the gold projects in Tanzania may not turn out to be commercially viable and thus losses may be incurred. In general terms, investments in listed exploration companies should be considered highly speculative;

  • (iv) there are risks associated with gold exploration in Tanzania and the prospective business of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition. A non-exhaustive list of these risks is set out in Section 4.10 below; and

  • (v) there is no guarantee that the Shares will not fall in value upon completion of the Acquisition.

4.10 Risks

Shareholders should be aware that if the Acquisition is approved and completed, the Company will be changing its primary focus to that of a gold exploration company with assets in Tanzania. There are risks for the Company and its Shareholders inherent in the Acquisition. The risks described below are not intended to be exhaustive. There may be additional risks that the Company is unaware of or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial which may affect the Company. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors associated with the Company’s proposal to acquire Tangold is as follows:

(a) Gold

The Tenements are considered prospective for gold. The potential success of the gold projects will be primarily dependent on the market conditions of demand for and supply of gold and the consequent commodity price of gold. Gold market conditions are volatile and can be expected to fluctuate as a result of numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

15

(b) Tanzania

The Tenements are located in Tanzania and the Company will therefore be subject to the risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of money or assets or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Tanzania may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Company.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to exploration or mineral rights applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of rights or entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company. The Company has made its investment and strategic decisions based on the information currently available to the Directors, however should there be any material change in the political, economic, legal and social environments in Tanzania, the Directors may reassess the Company’s investment decisions and commitments to assets in Tanzania.

(c)

Exploration risks

Exploration is a high risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. The Company’s exploration activities on the Tenements will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including climatic conditions, hazards of operating vehicles and plant, risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations. Conclusions drawn during mineral exploration are subject to the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

Further, the costs of the Company’s exploration activities may materially differ from its estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the Company’s cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(d)

Operating risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

(e) Tenure

Mining and exploration permits in Tanzania are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future permits or future applications for permits will be approved.

  • (f) Development

16

Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement of hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of projects in Tanzania.

(g)

Environmental risks

The exploration and any future mining activities of the Company are subject to local laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the proposed activities in Tanzania are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Such impact can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage, control and losses. Further, if there are environmental rehabilitation conditions attaching to the permits granted in Tanzania, failure to meet such conditions could lead to forfeiture of these permits.

(h)

Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

(i)

Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company is likely to require further financing in addition to amounts raised by the issue of Placement Shares and the Capital Raising contemplated by this Notice of Meeting. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(j)

Market risk

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) commodity price fluctuations;

  • (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

17

(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

(vii) terrorism and other hostilities.

4.12 Plans for the Company if the Acquisition is not completed

If the Company does not complete the Acquisition, the Company will continue with its existing projects and investigate and undertake due diligence on new opportunities for growth.

4.13

Directors’ Recommendation

It is the view of the Directors that the Acquisition will give Shareholders the opportunity to obtain exposure to prospective gold exploration assets in Tanzania. The Directors consider that the Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all of the Resolutions. The Resolutions regarding the Acquisition (being Resolutions 3 to 5 (inclusive)) are interdependent, meaning that Shareholders must pass Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 for the Acquisition to proceed.

No Director has any interest in shares in Tangold.

4.14 Competent Person’s Statement

The information on the page that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr Matt Bull, who is a consultant of Lindian Resources Limited. Mr Bull is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience of relevance to the styles of mineralisation and the types of deposits under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Bull consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on information in the form and context in which it appears.

5. Resolution 3 – Change to Scale of Activities

5.1 General

The Acquisition, if approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting, will have a significant impact on the scale of activities undertaken by the Company.

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Acquisition pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.

A detailed description of the Acquisition is set out above at Section 4 of the Explanatory Statement.

Resolution 3 is conditional on Resolutions 4 and 5 being approved.

18

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 11.1

ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable. ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 provides that, if ASX requires, the entity must get the approval of Shareholders and must comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the Notice of Meeting.

ASX has advised the Company that the change in the scale of the Company’s activities does not require the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3.

For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Company to change the scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.

6. Resolution 4 – Acquisition of Tangold Pty Ltd

6.1 General

As set out in Section 4, the Company has entered into the Share Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company has the conditional right to acquire 100% of the shares in Tangold in consideration for the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Tangold Shareholders.

A summary of the terms of the Share Sale Agreement is set out in Section 4.2 of this Explanatory Statement.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue the Consideration Securities to the Tangold Shareholders in consideration of the Acquisition.

The Consideration Securities comprise 75,000,000 Shares, 25,000,000 Class A Performance Shares and 25,000,000 Class B Performance Shares. The Performance Shares will each convert into one fully paid ordinary share on achievement of the relevant Milestone.

None of the Tangold Shareholders, as individuals and together with their respective associates, will control more than 19.9% of the Shares in the Company upon completion of the Acquisition.

ASX 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.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Consideration Securities during the period of three months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Consideration Securities for the purpose of the Acquisition:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued (on a post Consolidation basis) is:

  • (i) 75,000,000 Shares;

  • (ii) 25,000,000 Class A Performance Shares; and

  • (iii) 25,000,000 Class B Performance Shares,

  • (b) It is intended that the allotment and issue of the Consideration Securities will occur on the same date, being the date of completion of the Acquisition, which will be no later than three months after the date of the General Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (c) The Consideration Securities will be issued for nil cash consideration as they are being issued in

19

consideration of the acquisition of Tangold. Accordingly, no funds will be raised by issue of the Consideration Securities;

  • (d) The Consideration Securities will be allotted and issued to the Tangold Shareholders.

Mr Matt Bull, is a Tangold Shareholder and will be appointed to the Board of the Company subject to completion of the Acquisition. As Mr Bull will only become a related party of the Company (as an anticipated Director of the Company) as a result of the Acquisition, Shareholder approval for the issue of Consideration Securities to Mr Bull under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is not required pursuant to exception 6 of ASX Listing Rule 10.12. Other than Mr Bull, no other Tangold Shareholder is a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The details of the Tangold Shareholders, their respective entitlement to Consideration Securities in the Company upon completion of the Acquisition are set out in Schedule 5 to this Notice of Meeting.

  • (f) 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.

  • (g) The Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4 of this Notice.

7. Resolution 5 – Creation of a New Class of Securities

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to be authorised to issue the Performance Shares to the Tangold Shareholders. The Performance Shares are intended to be issued in consideration of the acquisition of Tangold as described in Section 4 of this Explanatory Statement.

A company with a single class of shares on issue, which proposes to issue new securities not having the same rights as its existing shares, is taken to vary the rights of existing shareholders unless the Constitution already provides for such an issue.

Section 246B of the Corporations Act provides that the rights attaching to a class of shares cannot be varied without:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a meeting of the shareholders holding shares in that class; or

  • (b) the written consent of the shareholders who are entitled to at least 75% of the votes that may be cast in respect of shares in that class.

Subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution 5 , upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will issue a total of 50,000,000 Performance Shares to the Tangold Shareholders (in proportion to their shareholding in Tangold) with the following Milestones:

  • (a) Class A Performance Shares : Class A Performance Shares will convert into Shares subject to the announcement of an Inferred Mineral Resource or greater on the Tenements (as defined by a Competent Person in accordance with JORC Code 2012), of at least 200,000 ounces of Au at 2g/t with a cut off grade of 0.5g/t (the Milestone A Target ), within 2 years of completion of the Acquisition.

  • (b) Class B Performance Shares : Class B Performance Shares will convert into Shares subject to:

  • (i) the Class A Performance Shares having been converted to Shares; and

  • (ii) an independent third party expert producing a Pre-Feasibility Study (as defined in the JORC Code) which evidences a 15% or greater internal rate of return (using publicly available industry assumptions, including deliverable spot product pricing, which is independently verifiable) for the development of the Tenements ( Milestone B Target ),

within 4 years of completion of the Acquisition.

20

The full terms and conditions of the Performance Shares are set out in Schedule 4.

The Company has requested ASX to consider whether the terms are appropriate and equitable for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.1, and to approve the issue of the Performance Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 6.2. Following a response from ASX on the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares, the Company will advise the market accordingly.

The Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of the Performance Shares as a new class of shares. This Resolution is a special resolution.

8. Resolution 6 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

8.1 General

On 7 October 2016, the Company issued 200,000,000 Shares (being the equivalent of 20,000,000 Shares on a post Consolidation basis), at an issue price of $0.0015 per Share, to raise $300,000.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

ASX 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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

8.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 200,000,000 Shares were issued (being the equivalent of 20,000,000 Shares) on a post Consolidation basis).

  • (b) The issue price was $0.015 per Share on a post Consolidation basis (being $0.0015 per Share on a pre Consolidation basis).

  • (c) The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (d) The Shares were issued to selected sophisticated investors who were clients of CPS Securities Group.

As Mr Bull will only become a related party of the Company as a result of the Acquisition (as an anticipated Director of the Company on completion of the Acquisition), Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to Mr Bull under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is not required pursuant to exception 6 of ASX Listing Rule 10.12.

None of the other subscribers were a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The funds raised from this issue were used, and will be used, by the Company to fund due diligence on the proposed Acquisition and for general working capital purposes.

  • (c) The Placement Options will be issued for nil cash consideration as free attaching Options to the Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (d) The Placement Options will be issued to selected sophisticated investors who were clients of CPS Capital Group. Mr Matt Bull participated in the Placement and will be issued 4,000,000 Placement Options. As Mr Bull will only become a related party of the Company as a result of the Acquisition (as an anticipated Director of the Company on completion of the Acquisition), Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to Mr Bull under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is not required pursuant to exception 6 of ASX Listing Rule 10.12.

None of the other subscribers to be issued Placement Options will be a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.02 (on a post Consolidation basis) will expire on 31 December 2020 and will otherwise be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.

10. Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 - Issue of Director Options

10.1 Background

Pursuant to Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, the Company proposes to grant a total of 11,500,000 Director Options (on a post Consolidation basis) to Mr Eddie King, Mr Steve Formica and Mr Kerry Griffin, and/or their nominees.

The primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the Directors’ remuneration packages to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding their performance, and to align their interests with those of Shareholders. The Board considers that the experience of the Directors will greatly assist the development of the Company, particularly as the Company

22

seeks to identify new opportunities to create shareholder value in the coming months. As such, the Board believes that the number of Director Options to be granted to the Directors is commensurate with their value to the Company.

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Each of the directors whom Director Options will be issued is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

The Board (other than each Director in relation to the issue of Director Options to them, in which case they decline to make a recommendation) supports the grant of Director Options to each of Eddie King, Steve Formica and Kerry Griffin.

10.2 Related Party Approval

The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval for the financial benefit covered by Resolutions 8,9 and 10 as the Board has resolved that the financial benefit to be provided to the Directors pursuant to the Director Options comes within the reasonable remuneration exemption to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

10.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, information regarding the issue of the Director Options is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Director Options will be issued to Mr Eddie King and Mr Steve Formica, and/or their nominees.

  • (b) The maximum number of Director Options the Company can issue to each of the Directors and/or their nominees under Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 (on a post Consolidation basis) is as follows:

  • (i) Mr Eddie King – 2,000,000 Director Options;

  • (ii) Mr Steve Formica – 7,500,000 Director Options; and

  • (iii) Mr Kerry Griffin – 2,000,000 Director Options;

  • (c) The Company will issue the Director Options to the relevant Directors and/or their nominees no later than one month after the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date.

  • (d) The Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options.

  • (e) The Director Options will be exercisable at $0.02 (on a post Consolidation basis), will expire on 31 December 2020 and will otherwise be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

23

11. Resolution 11 – Issue of Advisor Options

11.1 General

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 8,500,000 Options (on a post Consolidation basis) ( Advisor Options ), in aggregate, to advisors and consultants of the Company ( Advisors ).

The Advisors have provided services as consultants to the Company. The Advisor Options are proposed to be issued to the Advisors to retain their services and to provide cost effective remuneration for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company.

ASX 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. The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Advisor Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity

Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution.

11.2

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

  • (a) The Advisor Options will be issued to the Advisors (and/or their nominees). None of the recipients will be related parties of the Company.

12. Resolution 12 – Election of Director – Mr Matt Bull

Resolution 12 seeks approval for the election of Mr Matt Bull as a director of the Company with effect from successful completion of the Acquisition, in accordance with clause 7.2 of the Constitution.

Clause 7.2(c) of the Constitution provides that the Company may, by ordinary resolution, appoint any person as a Director.

If Resolution 12 is approved by Shareholders, Matt Bull will be appointed as a Director upon the completion of the Acquisition.

Relevant background and information relating to Matt Bull is set out in Section 4.4 of this Explanatory Statement.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution.

24

13. Resolution 13 – Re-election of Director – Mr Eddie King

Clause 7.3(a) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Clause 7.3(c) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires under clause 7.3(a) is eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to clause 7.3 of the Constitution, Mr Eddie King will retire and seek re-election.

The Board (other than Mr King abstaining because of his interest in this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution.

14. Resolution 14 – Section 195 Approval

Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.

Some of the Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10. In the absence of this Resolution 14, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve.

15. Resolution 15 – Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity

15.1 General

Resolution 15, if passed, would give the Company additional capacity to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities (up to 10% of the Company's total fully paid ordinary securities on a 12 month look back basis), in addition to the 15% permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without further member approval (Additional Placement Capacity).

The information below provides more background on Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by Listing Rule 7.3A.

The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to be able to issue additional securities provided under Listing Rule 7.1A. No decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities if Shareholders approve Resolution 15. The Board believes that Resolution 15 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15.

15.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Additional Placement Capacity

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek approval from members by special resolution at its annual general meeting to have the Additional Placement Capacity.

If approved, the Additional Placement Capacity will allow the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of the Meeting to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities equal to 10% of the number of total fully paid ordinary securities on issue (on a 12 month look back basis) on a non-pro rata basis.

(b) Eligible entity

Under the Listing Rules, an "eligible entity" is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant resolution,

25

is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million. As at the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is approximately $3,256,000 so classifies as an "eligible entity".

(c)

Special resolution

The Additional Placement Capacity requires shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. This requires at least 75% of the votes to be cast in favour of the resolution by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

(d) Securities which may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

Under the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: LIN) and listed Options ($0.02, 30 July 2018) (ASX Code: LINO).

  • (e)

Formula for calculating 10% Additional Placement Capacity

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

(f)

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid ordinary securities in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval,

  • (D) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (g)

  • Minimum Issue Price

26

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for the securities in that class.

The VWAP is to be calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the issue price is agreed for the securities under the Additional Placement Capacity; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued under the Additional Placement Capacity within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • (h)

  • 10% Placement Period

Under Listing Rule 7.1A.1, the approval for the Additional Placement Capacity must be for a period (Additional Placement Period) commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (ii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the date of that approval.

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the Additional Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 15 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that members approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

  • (i)

Dilution risks

If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 15 is approved); and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

  • which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and

27

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price. The table has been drafted on a post Consolidation basis.

The examples in the above table are based on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues Shares for cash under the Additional Placement Capacity and no other types of quoted Equity Securities.

  • (ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iii) Other than as indicated in the table, the Company does not issue any additional Equity Securities during the Additional Placement Period.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (vi) No Options are exercised during the Additional Placement Period and before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.002, being the closing share price of the Shares on ASX on 25 October 2016.

(j)

  • For what purpose will the Company issue Equity Securities?

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) to provide non-cash consideration for new asset purchases or investments; or

  • (ii) to raise cash to fund:

  • (A) general working capital expenses;

28

  • (B) exploration on the Tanzanian Projects; or

(C) the acquisition of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).

The Company will comply with the disclosure ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A on issue of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to the approval sought by Resolution 15. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will at the time of issue of the Equity Securities provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities are at or above the minimum issue price, in accordance with the Note to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company intends to maintain the ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for non-cash consideration.

  • (k) What is the allocation policy?

The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.

No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.

However, when determining of the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:

  • (i) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (ii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • (iii) impacts of the placement on control;

  • (iv) other methods of raising capital; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. If the issue is made in connection with the acquisition of assets, the recipients may be the sellers of those assets.

  • (l)
