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 2.30pm (WST) on 22 November 2023 at Level 2, 10 Outram Street, West Perth, Western Australia 6005.

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 2023, 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

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2– RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – CHRIS SWALLOW

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 Chris Swallow who has served as a Director since 28 April 2021 and elected by Shareholders on 15 December 2021, retires under this provision and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

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

Mr Swallow has more than 15 years’ experience in executive roles spanning the resource, start-up, marketing and government sectors having worked across Australia, Asia and Africa.

Previously he worked in an operational capacity as the Corporate Development Officer for Guinea-focused gold explorer Predictive Discovery Limited and Minbos Resources Limited and he has worked in Strategic Communications as an Advisor to numerous ASX-listed Australian, North American and West African mineral explorers, covering a range of commodities including gold, nickel, zinc and copper.

Chris is also a Partner at Modena Ventures, an ECM firm with bespoke financing solutions for founders, entrepreneurs and companies, delivering access to capital from public markets.

Currently, Chris is the Managing Director of ASX listed DeSoto Resources Limited (appointed 1 April 2022), a precious and battery-metal exploration Company with a 1,887km[2] landholding located in the Northern Territory’s prolific Pine Creek gold and pegmatite province.

The Board considers Mr Swallow to be an independent Director.

The Board has reviewed Mr Swallow’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 Swallow and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

4.1 General

As announced to ASX on 10 May 2023, the Company paid $10,000 in cash and issued 900,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Lord to to nominees of the vendor, Amery Holdings Pty Ltd ( Amery Shares ) as consideration for the acquisition of the Jingjing Lithium Project, comprising E15/1912 and E63/2240 ( Acquisition ). 450,000 fully paid ordinary shares were escrowed until 10 August 2023 and 450,000 fully paid ordinary shares are escrowed until 10 November 2023.

6

5389-04/3072148_2

A milestone payment of $100,000, payable in cash or fully paid ordinary shares in Lord, will be payable within 30 days of the earlier of:

(i) Lord achieving intercepts of 10% m equivalent or better in 2 drill holes (for example this could be 10m at 1% Li2O or 7m at 1.5% Li2O or if gold then 10m at 20g/t or 5m at 40g/t Au based on current PLS quarterly average spodumene pricing; or

(ii) Lord making a Decision to Mine.

In addition, Lord will also grant Amery a 0.5% Net Smelter Return (‘NSR’) royalty on minerals produced from the tenements.

The Amery Shares 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 Amery Shares 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 Amery Shares.

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 Amery Shares.

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

4.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

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

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Amery Shares 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

7

5389-04/3072148_2

without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Amery Shares.

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) 900,000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to nominees of Amery Holdings Pty Ltd;

  • (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 Amery Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) no funds were raised from the issue of the Amery Shares, as they were issued as consideration for the acquisition for 100% of the Jingjing Lithium Project;

  • (e) the Amery Shares were issued on 10 May 2023 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Amery Shares was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the agreement to acquire the Jingjing Lithium Project;

  • (g) a summary of the material terms of the Acquisition is set out in Section 4.1; and

  • (h) 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 ).

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 $3,016,973 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2023).

8

5389-04/3072148_2

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;

  • (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.

9

5389-04/3072148_2

(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 3 October 2023.

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 43,099,621 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 3 October 2023 (being $0.07).

  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.

  6. 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.

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

  8. 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%.

10

5389-04/3072148_2

  1. 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.
