EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held online at 9:00am (AWST) on Monday, 12 December 2022.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary to this document.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting, please contact the Company Secretary, your accountant, solicitor, stockbroker or other professional advisor before voting.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3
On 27 October 2022, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from Australian and offshore institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise $4.5 million through a two-tranche placement of 11,250,000 shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.40 ( Placement ).
The Placement Shares were to be distributed in two-tranches as follows:
-
(a) 5,500,000 Shares to be issued under Tranche 1 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and
-
(b) 5,750,000 Shares to be issued under Tranche 2 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
On 2 November 2022, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Company’s capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1).
The Company shall issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares subject to Shareholder approval
under Resolution 2.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited agreed to act as Lead Manager to the Placement. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Lead Manager 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.20 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue.
2. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares that were issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
2.1 Regulatory Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exemption applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the ordinary securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s members subsequently approve it.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company confirms that the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1. None of the recipients of the Shares were a related party of the Company within the meaning of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
9
The effect of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be that these Shares will not be counted as reducing the number of securities which the Company can issue in the future without shareholder approval under the 15% placement limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the 15% limit is “renewed” to the extent of the approval).
The Company wishes to maintain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the Placement.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the Placement.
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Statement for this purpose:

3. RESOLUTION 2 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACMENT SHARES
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. The Company will be required to seek alternate sources of funding.
3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
(a) Name of the person who shall receive the securities
The Tranche 2 Placement Shares shall be issued to domestic and offshore institutional, sophisticated and professional investors.
11
The subscribers were introduced to the Company by Canaccord Genuity as Lead Manager from the Lead Manager’s client base.
None of the subscribers in the Placement are related parties of the Company or Material Investors.[2]
- (b) The number and class of securities the entity will issue
The maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued by the Company is 5,750,000 Shares.

-
Drilling at the Scotty Lithium Project; and

General working capital.

Board recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

2 ASX consider the following to be material investors: (i). a related party of the entity;
(ii). a member of the entity’s key management personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or (v). an associate of any of the above,

12
4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS TO CANACCORD GENUITY (AUSTRALIA) LIMITED
As described in section 1 of this Explanatory Statement, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited agreed to act as Lead Manager to the Placement.
As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Lead Manager 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.20 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue.
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue the Broker Options to be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.1 Regulatory Requirements
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the Broker Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
