EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

RESOLUTION 1: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – CHILEAN ASSET OPTION ACQUISITON

On 6 January 2025, the Company announced that it had issued 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares as consideration for the acquisition from Aeramentum Resources Ltd of an Option to acquire the Darwin project in Chile held by Coastal Metals Chile. The acquisition was originally announced to the market on 9 December 2024. None of the Directors are associated with Aeramentum or Coastal Metals.

The issue of shares was made pursuant to the Company’s discretionary placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issues of Shares.

Terms of agreement between the Company and Aeramentum Resources

The terms of the agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired the option from Aeramentum are as follows:

a) Lodestar assumed the position of Aeramentum under the Option Agreement by issuing to Aeramentum 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, at a deemed issue price of $0.02, equivalent to 14.8% of the issued capital in the Company.

Non-cash Contingent consideration – based upon achieving performance milestones

Milestone 1 issuance of 30,000,000 shares to Aeramentum upon achievement of drilling the Darwin prospect within 6 months of acquisition, in combination with any of the following milestones:

  • Reporting high gold or gold equivalent drilling results of at least 15 gram metres (ie 10m @ 1.5g/t Au or 1m @ 15g/t Au) being defined in two locations at least 100m apart; or

  • Mineralised Magnetite or potential IOCG, defined as grades of >0.5% Cu equivalent over interval >10m, repeated in more than one drill hole at least 100m apart; or

  • Commencement of small-scale mining up to 5kt/mth, with mining, crushing and potential concentration of ore via gravity methods, and sale of either a concentrated product, gold dore, or whole-rock to local or international buyers, within 2 years of the signing of the acquisition transaction.

Settlement via shares would be based upon achievement of this milestone. Issuance of shares would be subject to receiving shareholder approval at the time of the milestone achievement.

/1464_7

Milestone 2 issuance of 30,000,000 shares to Aeramentum upon the following milestones being achieved:

  • Prior achievement of Milestone 1; and either

  • Lodestar shares trading at or above $0.60 based on a 20-day VWAP. Should this occur prior to achievement of the first milestone, the issue of any shares is withheld until such time as the requirements of Milestone one is met; or

  • MRE (JORC Compliant) declared in Chile >1Mt @ 10g/t Au equivalent.

Settlement via shares would be based upon achievement of this milestone. Issuance of shares would be subject to receiving shareholder approval at the time of the milestone achievement.

Regulatory Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company must not issue or agree to issue, subject to specified exceptions, more equity securities during any 12-month period than an amount which, when aggregated with the number of other securities issued within that 12-month period, represents 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period, unless the issue falls within one of the nominated exceptions, or the prior approval of members of the Company at a general meeting is obtained.

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

While the Shares described in Resolution 1 have been issued within the 15% limit, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of these Shares for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 so that the Company may 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, should the need or opportunity arise.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Issues 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 over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If Resolution 1 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.

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 – 8 on the basis that the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Securities on the same terms and conditions should Resolution 4 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 6-8.

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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

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

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

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

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Securities to Messrs Taylor, McArthur and Turner 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.

Resolutions 6-8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Securities to Messrs Taylor, McArthur and Turner under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 6-8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to the Directors (or nominees) within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 6-8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to the Directors.

Ross Taylor is owed $20,000 which would result in the issue of 1,818,181 Shares (and 909,090 attaching Options). David McArthur is owed $ 15,000 which would result in the issue of 1,363,636 Shares (and 681,818 attaching Options).

Director Recommendation.

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9-11 on the basis that the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Securities on the same terms and conditions should Resolution 5 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 9-11.

RESOLUTION 12- ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO RELATED PARTY IN SATIFACTION OF DEBT

General

Susan McArthur is owed $100,000 by the Company. These funds were previously provided by way of loan. Mrs McArthur has advised she would be agreeable to satisfying the debt in full for the issue of shares (and attaching options) issued on the same terms as the placement shares to be issued pursuant to resolution 5. This would result in the issue of 9,090,909 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.011 each and the issue of 4,545,454 Options, such options exercisable at $0.017 on or before 31 March 2027. Details of the options are contained in Schedule 1.

The issue of the shares and free attaching options will mean that the Company does not have to use working capital to repay the $100,000 debt. No funds will be raised from the issues.

Mrs McArthur is the wife of non-executive director David McArthur and accordingly is considered a related party of the Company.

Director Recommendation

Ross Taylor and Ed Turner recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 12. Mr Taylor and Mr Turner considered the terms of the placement to be made by the Company when determining the issue price and terms of the Securities to be issued to Mrs McArthur (or nominee).

David McArthur is not presently a substantial shareholder. Should shareholders approve all resolution to this Notice of meeting, on an undiluted basis, David McArthur would become a substantial shareholder with a percentage shareholding in the Company of 5.52%.

Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of the requirements of Listing Rule 10.11 are contained in the explanation of resolutions 6-8 above.

The issue of the Securities to Mrs McArthur 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.

Resolutions 12 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Securities to Mrs McArthur under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to Mrs McArthur within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to Mrs McArthur and will have to repay the loan in cash.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

  3. ( Signing instructions ):

  4. ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  5. ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  6. ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  7. ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  8. ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  9. ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  10. In person to Level 1, 31 Cliff Street, Fremantle, Perth, WA;

  11. By mail to PO Box 584, Fremantle, WA, 6959;
