EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on 28 November 2022 at Level 2, 389 Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia 6016.

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

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the requirements of the Constitution and the Corporations Act, the Company’s audited financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, together with declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the report of the auditor ( Annual Report ) thereon will be tabled at the Meeting, and Shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the report.

Representatives from the Company’s auditors, HLB Mann Judd (WA Partnership), will be present to take Shareholders’ questions and comments about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.lordresources.com for you to download or read online. Alternatively, you can obtain a hard copy by contacting the Company.

2. RESOLUTION 1– ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting Consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

5

5389-04/3072148_2

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company

2.3 Previous voting results

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting since being re-admitted to the official list of the ASX, the remuneration report of the Company was not considered at the Company’s previous annual general meeting. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be relevant for this Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2– RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – PAUL LLOYD

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

In accordance with the requirements of clause 15.2 of the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, one-third of the directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) an retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting, and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Mr Paul Lloyd who has served as a Director since 25 February 2021 and elected by Shareholders on 15 December 2021, retires under this provision and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Details of Mr Lloyd’s experience and qualifications are available in the Annual Report and on the Company’s website and are summarised briefly below:

Mr Lloyd is a Chartered Accountant with over thirty years commercial experience. Mr Lloyd operates his own corporate consulting business, specialising in the area of corporate, financial and management advisory services. After commencing his career with an international accounting firm, he was employed for approximately 10 years as the General Manager of Finance for a Western Australian based international drilling contractor working extensively in Australia, Asia and Africa. Mr Lloyd is currently the Managing Director of Arizona Lithium Limited (ASX:AZL) and Non-Executive Chairman of BPM Minerals Limited (ASX:BPM) and Diablo Resources Limited (ASX:DBO).

The Board considers Mr Lloyd to be an independent Director.

The Board has reviewed Mr Lloyd’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that their skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Lloyd and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – OPTIONS

4.1 General

As announced to ASX on 19 July 2022, the Company issued 1,850,000 options exercisable at $0.30 and expiring on 30 June 2025 ( Options ) to nominees of PAC Partners Securities Pty Limited (ACN 623 653 912) ( PAC Partners ) in consideration for the provision of corporate advisory and investor relations services to the Company pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and PAC Partners ( Engagement Letter ).

The material terms of the Engagement Letter are summarised below:

  • (a) ( Term ): 12 months or until terminated in writing by either party in accordance with the Engagement Letter ( Term ).

  • (b) ( Fees ): As consideration for the services provided by PAC Partners the Company agreed to issue 1,850,000 Options (exercisable at $0.30 on or before 30 June 2025).

  • (c) ( Capital Raisings ):

6

5389-04/3072148_2

  • (i) During the Term, the Company will consult with PAC Partners in respect of all equity or hybrid capital raising initiatives and offer PAC Partners first right to act as lead or joint lead manager to the raising.

  • (ii) The Company will invite PAC Partners to participate in a tender process for appointment to act as lead or joint lead manager to the offer in respect of any capital raising undertaken within 6 months of the expiration of the Term.

  • (iii) Upon completion of a capital raising, the Company gives to PAC Partners the option to be sole lead manager to any future capital raising within 12 months.

  • (d) ( Introductory Fee ): in the event that during the Term, PAC Partners has either introduced investors or has had negotiations with investors on behalf of the Company and those investors invest in the Company within 12 months of their introduction, the Company will pay to PAC Partners a fee of 6.0% of the value of their investment.

The Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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%.

The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 date of issue of the Options.

4.3 Listing Rule 7.4

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 that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, under Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Options.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Options.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively

7

5389-04/3072148_2

increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Options will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

4.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) 1,850,000 Options were issued to the nominees of PAC Partners under the terms of the Engagement Letter;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the issue price for the Options was nil. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (d) the Options are exercisable at $0.30 each and have an expiry date of 30 June 2025 and, were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Options were issued on 19 July 2022 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) no funds were raised from the issue of the Options as they were issued for nil cash consideration for the provision of corporate advisory and investor relations services to the Company by PAC Partners;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Engagement Letter;

  • (h) a summary of the material terms of the Engagement Letter is set out in Section 4.1; and

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

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

5.1 General

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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

8

5389-04/3072148_2

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $11,133,715 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 17 October 2022).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

If Resolution 4 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 Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

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

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum Price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 5.2 (b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The purposes for which funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate may be used include the following:

  • (i) exploration activities on the Company’s mineral interests;

9

5389-04/3072148_2

  • (ii) assessment of any future mineral property opportunities;

  • (iii) assessment of any other investment opportunities; and

  • (iv) ongoing future working capital purposes, including corporate advisory and capital raising services.

  • (d)

Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 17 October 2022.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 38,392,121 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 17 October 2022 (being $0.29).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

10

5389-04/3072148_2

  1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  3. 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%.

  4. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

  • (e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

  • (f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company did not obtain approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting which was held in December 2021. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting.

5.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
