There is no requirement for shareholders to approve these reports. However, time will be allowed during the annual general meeting for consideration by shareholders of the financial statements and the associated directors’ and auditors’ reports.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at magmaticresources.com.
The Company’s Annual Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion.
No voting is required for this item.
3. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
3.1 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 company or the directors of 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 its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
3.2 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.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 8 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
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.
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.
3.3 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.
4. Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – David Richardson
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.
Mr Richardson, previously was the Company’s Managing Director since incorporation up until 3 February 2020, when he was appointed as a Director and Executive Chairman of the Company. Accordingly, Mr Richardson retires at the Annual General Meeting and seeks re-election.
4.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr David Richardson has extensive international corporate experience including 15 years in Japan in Asia Pacific regional director positions with organisations such as Pacific Dunlop Ltd and Amcor Ltd, and his expertise includes venture capital and finance. Mr Richardson founded Magmatic Resources in 2014, listing the company on the ASX in 2017 and is Executive Chairman of the company. Mr Richardson holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles.
Mr Richardson is not considered to be independent due to his executive role as Executive Chairman of the Company and his substantial shareholder interest in the securities of the Company. Mr Richardson has no other current directorships outside the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
4.3 Board recommendation
The Board supports the election of Mr Richardson as a Director of the Company and recommends (with Mr Richardson abstaining) that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5. Background to the Placement in February 2020 and Lead Manager Options
On 18 February 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 16,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.30 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 9 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
unrelated sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $5,000,001 (before costs) (together the Placement ).
On 20 February 2020 the Company has issued 16,666,667 Placement Shares in total, out of which 1,317,767 Placement Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 and the balance of 15,348,900 Placement Shares within Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. The Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors, as set out in Section 6.3(6.3(a) of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The Company has engaged the services of Hartleys to lead manage the issue of the Placement Shares in consideration of:
-
(a) a fee of $250,000 plus GST (being, 5% of the amount raised under the Placement); and
-
(b) issuing 2,000,000 unlisted Options with the expiry period of 3 years exercisable at a 40% premium to 5 day VWAP on 12 February 2020, being 55.4 cents, on standard terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum ( Lead Manager Options ).
-
(c) In addition, the Company engaged Hartleys Limited to act as a corporate advisor in relation to the Placement for the advisory fee in the amount of $50,000.
The funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and will be used for the purposes set out in Section 6.3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
6. Resolution 3: Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares – Listing Rule 7.4
Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution and seeks Shareholder approval and ratification of prior issue of the Placement Shares under the Placement, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.
6.1 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify prior issue and allotment of the 16,666,667 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.30 per Share in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.
A total of 1,317,767 Placement Shares were issued within Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, whereas the balance of 15,348,900 Placement Shares was issued within Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A pursuant to the approval obtained at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.
Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
In addition, and subject to a number of exceptions, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A shareholders can give prior approval (by special resolution at an annual general meeting) to the issue of securities equivalent to an additional 10% of its capital over a 12-month period.
The Placement does not fit within any of exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1. and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, provided
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 10 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of those securities will be deemed to have been with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule. It also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from calculation of Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
This resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. The effect of Shareholders passing this resolution will be that the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% of its issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue over the next 12 months, without obtaining prior Shareholder approval.
6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in 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 Placement Shares.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in 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 Placement 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 7 being passed at this Annual General Meeting.
6.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) the 16,666,667 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Hartleys, none of whom are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Hartleys in consultation with the Directors seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. For further information on fees having been paid to Hartleys, please see section 5 above and section 7.3 below.
-
(b) The 16,666,667 Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.30 each.
-
(c) The 16,666,667 Placement Shares were issued on 20 February 2020.
-
(d) The 16,666,667 Placement Shares comprise fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
-
(e) The issue price was $0.30 per Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any further consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares.
-
(f) The Placement Shares were issued under a capital raising engagement letter agreement with Hartleys (see section 5 above and section 7.3 (7.3(g) below for details on the fee paid to Hartleys).

9. Resolution 5: Reduction of Capital and In-Specie Distribution
9.1 Corporations Act Requirements
The proposed reduction of capital by way of an in-specie distribution is an equal capital reduction.
Under section 256B of the Corporations Act, a company may only reduce its capital if it:
-
(a) is fair and reasonable to shareholders as a whole;
-
(b) does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and
-
(c) is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 256C of the Corporations Act.
The Directors believe that the proposed reduction of capital is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole and does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 18 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
Under the proposed reduction of capital, each Shareholder is treated equally and in the same manner since the terms of the reduction of capital are the same for each Shareholder. The distribution of AGC Shares to Eligible Shareholders ( In-specie Distribution ) is on a pro rata basis, and the proportionate ownership interest of each Shareholder remains the same before and after the Proposed Transaction. Further, the Directors consider that the reduction of capital will not result in the Company being insolvent at the time or after the In-specie Distribution.
In accordance with the Corporations Act:
-
(a) the proposed reduction of capital is an equal reduction and requires approval by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of Shareholders;
-
(b) this Explanatory Memorandum sets out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on Resolution 5; and
-
(c) the Company has lodged with ASIC a copy of this Notice of Meeting and accompanying Short Form Prospectus.
The Short Form Prospectus accompanies this Notice of Meeting and has been lodged with ASIC at the same time as this Notice of Meeting. The Company recommends that all Shareholders read the Short Form Prospectus carefully in conjunction with this Notice of Meeting. Subject to the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions, the Short Form Prospectus also allows Shareholders to sell their AGC Shares within the first 12 months after receiving them without further disclosure.
9.2 ASX Listing Rule Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.17 provides in part that a listed entity, in offering shareholders an entitlement to securities, must offer those securities pro rata or in such other way as, in the ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances. In addition, the record date to decide entitlements must be at least 4 business days after the prospectus for the offer is given to ASX. There also must be no restriction on the number of securities which a shareholder holds before this entitlement accrues. The Proposed Transaction satisfies the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.17, as the issue of AGC Shares is being made to Shareholders on a pro rata basis, the Record Date is set to be 29 December 2020 and there is no restriction on the number of Shares a Shareholder must hold before the entitlement to the AGC Shares accrues.
Further details regarding the Proposed Transaction and AGC are set out in sections 10 and 11 respectively to this Notice of Meeting.
10. The Proposed Transaction
10.1 Introduction and overview of proposal
The Company is a gold and copper exploration company listed on ASX.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Modeling Resources Pty Ltd ( MR ), holds two exploration licences, EL 7675 and EL 8669 ( MR Tenements ), comprising the Moorefield Gold Project. The Directors believe that the market is attributing minimal value to the Moorefield Gold Project and the Company’s Polymetallic Project. The Board believes this may be due to the Company’s recent exploration focus on its porphyry gold-copper projects in the East Lachlan. As a junior explorer it is difficult to advance multiple projects at the same time. The Moorefield Gold Project is an advanced orogenic gold/polymetallic project similar in age and geological setting to the Fosterville Gold Mine in Victoria. Together with other nearby junior exploration companies, they have received significant market appreciation in today’s gold market environment.
As announced by the Company on 18 September 2020, the Company noted that it would examine the Demerger of the Company’s gold assets. Under the proposal, the Company’s Moorefield Gold Project will be transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary Australian Gold and Copper Ltd ACN 633 936 526 ( AGC ). The Company has also identified two projects, the Gundagai EL 8955 ( Gundagai ) and Cargelligo EL 8968 ( Cargelligo ) projects (together the NSR Tenements ) held by New South
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 19 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 557 416 ( NSR ), which the Company considers has certain synergies with the Moorefield Gold Project both in terms of location and size of the projects. Accordingly, the Company also proposes that AGC will acquire the NSR Tenements from NSR.
The board considers that separating the Moorefield Gold Project into another listed company and adding two more gold projects by way of acquisition of the NSR Tenements, will enable the market to fully value the prospectivity and extract additional value from the three projects.
Under the Proposed Transaction, the Company will seek approval from Shareholders to carry out a capital reduction and in-specie distribution, such that approximately 80.146% of the shares which will be held by the Company in AGC will be transferred to Magmatic Shareholders and AGC will be listed on ASX.
NSR will carry out a similar capital reduction and demerger process in respect of the shares that NSR will hold in AGC as a result of the transfer of the NSR Tenements to AGC.
10.2 Demerger Process
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Modeling Resources has entered into an agreement with AGC pursuant to which Magmatic will be issued 29,999,999 AGC Shares in consideration for the transfer of the MR Tenements to AGC. This transfer is subject to a number of conditions, including obtainment of Ministerial approval.
As detailed further below, AGC has also entered into an agreement with NSR for the transfer of the NSR tenements to AGC and NSR will be issued 20,000,000 AGC Shares as consideration for the transfer, subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions.
The Demerger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Transaction Conditions set out in Section 10.11.
The Demerger will involve the following stages (comprising the Proposed Transaction ):
-
(a) Magmatic Shareholders approve the Demerger;
-
(b) NSR Shareholders approve the NSR Demerger;
-
(c) The Company and AGC have entered into a loan deed which provides that the Company will transfer $500,000 cash to AGC by way of intercompany loan, such loan to be repaid upon successful completion of AGC’s IPO;
-
(d) Magmatic will distribute 80.146% of the 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary AGC Shares (being 24,043,791 AGC Shares) which Magmatic will hold in AGC to be received as consideration for the proposed sale of the MR Tenements to the Eligible Shareholders at no cost to shareholders, using the calculation which is expect to be 5 AGC Shares for every 36 Magmatic Shares held by Eligible Shareholders at the In-specie Distribution Record Date (with Ineligible Overseas Shareholders receiving cash proceeds for their entitlements) ( Separation by Demerger );
-
(e) NSR will distribute approximately 80.146% of the ordinary AGC Shares which NSR will hold in AGC (to be received as consideration for the proposed sale of the NSR Tenements) to the NSR Shareholders;
-
(f) AGC proposes to list on the ASX and will seek approval for the AGC Shares to be granted Official Quotation by the ASX.
The Demerger will be governed by an Implementation Deed entered into between Magmatic and AGC.
The In-Specie Distribution of AGC Shares by Magmatic will only be available to Magmatic Shareholders registered on the In-specie Distribution Record Date with a registered address in an
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL

Notice of General Meeting
Eligible Country, and not to the public in general. Subject to the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions and once the AGC Shares have been distributed, the Company will seek to have those shares listed on the ASX. The number of AGC Shares to be distributed to Eligible Shareholders is determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, however, the Company notes that the actual number of AGC Shares proposed to be distributed under the In-specie Distribution remains subject to any changes to the Company’s capital structure following the date of this Notice of Meeting, including the conversion of Options currently on issue prior to the distribution of AGC Shares.
Following the In-specie Distribution, the Company will retain up to an 11.91% interest in the share capital in AGC. Following completion under the NSR Sale Agreement and the NSR Distribution, NSR will retain a 7.94% interest in the share capital in AGC.
As set out below, AGC also proposes to undertake a capital raising involving the issue of a minimum of 35,000,000 AGC Shares ( Minimum Subscription ) and up to a maximum of 50,000,000 AGC Shares ( Maximum Subscription ) at an issue price of $0.20 (with a priority offer to current Existing Magmatic Shareholders and Existing NSR Shareholders) to raise between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000 in connection with the listing of AGC Shares on the ASX. Following completion of the proposed capital raising, the Company will retain a 7.01% interest assuming the Minimum Subscription of AGC Shares and a 5.96% interest in AGC Shares assuming the Maximum Subscription of AGC Shares. NSR will retain a 4.67% interest assuming the Minimum Subscription of AGC Shares and a 3.97% interest in AGC Shares assuming the Maximum Subscription of AGC Shares.
The Demerger is subject to the Transaction Conditions set out in Section 10.11.
Shareholders should refer to matters set out in section 10.10 relating to the ATO Class Ruling to be sought by the Company and the summary of taxation implications of the Demerger set out in Section 10.19.

10.8 Overview of the AGC Projects
Provided the Proposed Transaction is completed, AGC’s focus will be the exploration and development of three combined projects, being Moorefield, Gundagai and Cargelligo ( Projects ).
The combined AGC project portfolio is considered to provide multiple drill ready discovery opportunities of ‘Fosterville-style’ orogenic gold, McPhillamys-style gold and ‘Cobar-Hera-style’ goldpolymetallic mineralisation within a Central Lachlan Fold Belt focussed exploration company.
Subject to the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions, the Projects will comprise granted exploration licences EL7675 ‘Moorefield’, EL8669 ‘Derriwong’, EL8955 ‘Gundagai’ and EL8968 ‘Cargelligo’ covering approximately 1000km[2] in the central Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales. Brief descriptions of the Projects are set out below with more detail provided in Schedule 2, which Shareholders are encouraged to read.
MOOREFIELD PROJECT - Gold/Polymetallic
The Moorefield project comprises two granted exploration licences covering 477km[2] (EL7676 ‘Moorefield’ and EL8669 ‘Derriwong’). The project includes the drill ready 15km long Boxdale - Carlisle Reefs orogenic gold trend defined by strong surface geochemical anomalism and significant existing drill results, including:

Notice of General Meeting
-
36m at 1.21g/t Au from 81m (MFRC017, Carlisle Reefs)[1]
-
30m at 1.60 g/t Au from 80m (MFRC013, Carlisle Reefs)[2]
-
19m @ 1.28g/t Au from 114m (BDRC001, Boxdale)[3]
-
15m @ 1.00g/t Au from 85m (BDRC003, Boxdale)[4]
Other high priority drill ready prospects, include the Pattons Prospect, considered prospective for AuCu mineralisation and characterised by several discrete magnetic features underlying a gold anomalous exhalative horizon within the Girilambone Group (multipoint rockchip anomalism over 400m, up to 6.14g/t Au).
More detail on the exploration potential of the Moorefield Project is provided in Schedule 2.
CARGELLIGO PROJECT - Gold/Polymetallic
The Cargelligo project consists of an exploration licence covering 227km2 (EL8968 ‘Cargelligo’) and is located 15km west of the town of Lake Cargelligo in NSW. The Project comprises multiple drill ready Cobar-style gold-polymetallic prospects (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb) within a 15km zone along strike from the Cobar Mining District in the southern Cobar Basin.
The drill ready prospects are characterised by favourable geology coincident with soil geochemistry and EM conductors identified by a recent government airborne EM Survey (Geological Survey of NSW) and untested ground EM plates, also with coincident IP prospects, drill intersections and anomalous shallow drilling geochemistry.
The drill ready Mount Boorithumble and Achilles 3 prospects are located along strike from and considered exploration lookalikes of Aurelia Metals’ (ASX:AMI) Hera Deposit and the emerging Federation Discovery.
More detail on the exploration potential of the Cargelligo Project is provided in Schedule 2.
GUNDAGAI PROJECT - Gold
The Gundagai project consists of an exploration licence covering 265km2 (EL8955 ‘Gundagai’) and comprises a drill ready prospect for McPhillamys-style gold (e.g. Grandview), also more greenfields epithermal gold-copper (e.g. Rosehill) and a large-tonnage potential zinc-lead-silver prospects (e.g. Bongongalong) and many high grade orogenic gold prospects.
Gold prospects show similarities to the Late Silurian hosted McPhillamys 2.3Moz Gold Deposit (ASX:RRL). The drill ready Grandview Gold Prospect is characterised by a 1.5km zone of strong gold-in-soil geochemistry coincident with sheared quartz-sericite-carbonate-pyrite altered volcaniclastics returning up to 35g/t Au in rockchips and represents a near term high-grade gold discovery opportunity.
More detail on the exploration potential of the Gundagai Project is provided in Schedule 2.

10.9 Key Reasons for the Demerger
The Company considers that the Separation by Demerger would allow for:
-
(a) AGC to focus on the future development of the Projects which:
-
are focused in the central Lachlan region of New South Wales; and
-
require significant capital expenditure over the medium to long term;
-
(b) AGC to list on the ASX in its own right and raise the funds required for exploration and development of the Projects without internal competition; and
-
(c) Magmatic to fully focus on its other three key gold and porphyry gold-copper projects in the East Lachlan and more easily raise equity to fund those assets.
Shareholders should refer to the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction set out in section 10.18 below for further information regarding the Demerger.
10.10 Separation by Demerger process
As noted above the Separation by Demerger will involve the two following key stages:
-
(a) Shareholders approving the In-specie Distribution (Resolution 5);
-
(b) Magmatic Resources distributing ~80.146% of the AGC Shares which the Company will hold to Eligible Shareholders at no cost to them, using the calculation currently expected to be five (5) AGC Share for every thirty six (36) Shares held by Eligible Shareholders (with Ineligible Shareholders receiving the net cash proceeds for their entitlements, net of costs);
The Separation by Demerger is proposed to be effected partly by way of capital reduction under section 256B of the Corporations Act and (if so determined) partly by way of dividend in-specie, which together will be satisfied by the In-specie Distribution of AGC Shares. The Eligible Shareholders are not required to pay any consideration for the AGC Shares received by them.
Simultaneously with or following the Separation by Demerger process outlined above, and subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied or waived, it is proposed that:
-
(a) AGC will acquire the NSR Tenements, on the terms set out in the NSR Sale Agreement (the consideration for which includes the issue of NSR Consideration Shares to NSR);
-
(b) AGC will acquire the MR Tenements, on the terms set out in the MR Sale Agreement;
-
(c) NSR will undertake NSR Distribution to its shareholders; and
-
(d) AGC Shares, subject to certain conditions, will be admitted to the Official List.
The Separation by Demerger will be governed by an Implementation Deed that has been entered into between the Company and AGC. Please see section 0 for a summary of the Implementation Deed.
The In-specie Distribution of the AGC Shares by the Company will only be available to the Eligible Shareholders registered on the In-specie Distribution Record Date.
Once the AGC Shares have been quoted on the Official List, those shares will be able to be traded freely on the ASX.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 27 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
The Separation by Demerger will deliver to Shareholders direct ownership in a dedicated, central Lachlan focussed gold exploration and development company, being AGC, whilst still retaining their whole interests in Magmatic Resources.
Shareholders should refer to the summary of taxation implications of the Separation by Demerger set out in section 10.19. The Company will seek a class ruling from the ATO on behalf of Shareholders to confirm the taxation outcomes of the Separation Demerger for them. This has included seeking confirmation from the ATO as to what component of the distribution of AGC Shares to Shareholders is to be treated as a demerger dividend ( Demerger Dividend ), and therefore not assessable income of the Shareholders, and what component will be treated as a capital reduction, which should not constitute a taxable dividend to Shareholders. Shareholders should be aware that there is no certainty in the Company receiving a favourable tax ruling and in circumstances where a favourable tax ruling is not received, a tax liability may for Magmatic Shareholders.
The method to be applied by the Board to determine the capital reduction component of the distribution of the AGC Shares will be in accordance with the principles set out in the ATO Class Ruling (if received), which the Company considers should be based on the market value of the AGC Shares and the Company Share price shortly after AGC Shares commence trading on the ASX. As those values are not able to be determined now it is not possible to specify in this Notice of Meeting the exact proportion of the distribution of AGC Shares that will occur by way of capital reduction and what portion by dividend in-specie, if any.
In any event, the capital reduction component cannot be more than 100% of the AGC market value. Accordingly, under Resolution 5, approval of the Shareholders is sought to reduce the Company’s share capital by up to 100% of the market value of AGC Shares, with that (or such lesser amount as is determined in accordance with the applicable ATO guidelines), to be the capital reduction component amount ( Capital Reduction Amount ).
The Board will determine to reduce the Company’s share capital on the Effective Date by the Capital Reduction Amount. The dividend component will comprise the balancing amount making up the entire amount to be distributed in-specie to the Shareholders, less the Capital Reduction Amount. Shareholder approval is not required for the purpose of determining the dividend component amount. Shareholders will be advised of the precise division of these amounts following implementation of the Separation by Demerger.
10.11 Conditions to the Proposed Transaction
While the Board has resolved to proceed with the Proposed Transaction, it remains subject to the following conditions (together, the Transaction Conditions ):
-
(a) the Short Form Prospectus being issued to facilitate the In-specie Distribution;
-
(b) AGC obtaining all necessary approvals pursuant to the Resources Act related to the acquisition of the NSR Tenements and MR Tenements;
-
(c) the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act for the Inspecie Distribution;
-
(d) NSR obtaining approval under the Corporations Act for the NSR Distribution;
-
(e) the Capital Raising being completed;
-
(f) all necessary parties enter into restriction agreements as required by ASX imposing such restrictions on trading of certain AGC securities issued pursuant to the initial public offering and listing of AGC; and
-
(g) AGC obtains ASX approval to the listing of AGC, including conditional ASX listing approval on terms which are acceptable to Magmatic and AGC acting reasonably.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 28 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
There is no certainty that the Transaction Conditions will be satisfied. If the Transaction Conditions are satisfied, Magmatic Resources will conduct the Capital Reduction as an equal capital reduction of its share capital in accordance with sections 256B and 256C of the Corporations Act.
As noted above, the In-specie Distribution will be effected by an equal reduction of the Company’s capital on a pro-rata basis. Shareholders will receive an in-specie return of capital by way of the distribution of 24,043,791 AGC Shares in proportion to the number of Shares held by them at the Inspecie Distribution Record Date (on the basis of 5 AGC Shares for every 36 MAG Shares held). Shareholders will thereby retain direct ownership of the Company and receive a direct ownership interest in AGC. Structure diagrams of the proposed arrangements immediately before and after the Proposed Transaction are set out above in sections 10.6 and 10.7 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Under the Capital Reduction, Shareholders will not be required to pay any cash consideration for AGC Shares and each Shareholder will equally receive the same Entitlement, subject only to Ineligible Shareholders.
The Company is in the process of seeking a class ruling from the ATO to confirm the availability of demerger tax relief for income tax purposes. The Board recommends that each Shareholder seek their own specific tax advice in relation to the Capital Reduction (particularly with respect to the consequences if demerger relief is not available). However, in order to assist Shareholders, the Board has included a general summary of the tax consequences of the Capital Reduction in Section 10.19 below.
10.12 Foreign Shareholders
Shareholders on the In-specie Distribution Record Date with an address outside an Eligible Country will have their pro-rata entitlement of AGC Shares sold by Taylor Collison ( Nominee ) engaged by the Company and the net proceeds paid to the Ineligible Shareholders, with the timing of the sale to coincide with AGC successfully completing the Capital Raising, being admitted to ASX and a market for AGC Shares being established on ASX.
The Nominee will act on a best efforts only basis to sell the Ineligible Shareholders’ AGC Shares, and will not be liable to the Ineligible Shareholder for any loss suffered as a result.
The release, publication or distribution of the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum in jurisdictions other than Australia may be restricted by law or regulation in such other jurisdictions, and persons outside of Australia who come into possession of the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable laws or regulations.
The Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum have been prepared in accordance with Australian law and are subject to Australian disclosure requirements. The information contained in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of a jurisdiction outside of Australia.
Financial information in this Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared in accordance with the classification and measurement principles of the Australian Accounting Standards and is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually provided in an annual report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
This document does not constitute an offer of AGC Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the AGC Shares may not be offered, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.
10.13 Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5, for the following reasons:
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 29 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
-
(a) with proper funding, the Board sees considerable underlying value in the Projects that is currently being undervalued by the market. To fully unlock this value, a dedicated fully funded vehicle is required;
-
(b) the Projects are best developed in a separate exploration and development vehicle, with a dedicated board and management team who will be responsible for asset funding and further development;
-
(c) demerging the Moorefield Gold Project will allow the Magmatic Resources Board and Management team to fully focus on its remaining three advanced gold and porphyry gold-copper projects
-
(d) MAG shareholders will also have direct exposure to two additional and complimentary gold projects Cargelligo and Gundagai, in the highly prospective Central Lachlan Fold Belt
-
(e) after a full and proper assessment of all available information, the Directors believe that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interest of Shareholders; and
-
(f) in the opinion of the Directors, the benefits of the Proposed Transaction outweigh its disadvantages.
10.14 Effects of the Proposed Transaction on the Company
The principal effect of the Separation by Demerger on the Company will be:
-
(a) no material change in cash reserves;
-
(b) minimal change in net assets;
-
(c) the disposal of the MR Tenements; and
-
(d) the Company’s share capital will reduce by an amount up to the market value of all the fully paid shares in AGC, less a Demerger Dividend (if any).
The Proposed Transaction will result in the Company disposing of the Projects through the listing of AGC on ASX. The Company has for accounting purposes expensed all the exploration completed on these assets and therefore have a carrying value in the Company’s balance sheet of zero.
Set out below is the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 30 June 2020, which has been derived from the Company’s financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 which were audited by BDO in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. The financial information below also sets out the unaudited Consolidated Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position, as at 30 June 2020 and on the basis the Proposed Transaction was effective on 30 June 2020.

Notice of General Meeting
10.15 Effect of the Proposed Transaction on Shareholders
Shareholders will hold the same number of Shares in the Company they held prior to the Proposed Transaction.
Shareholders on the In-specie Distribution Record Date with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan will be transferred AGC Shares on a pro-rata basis. Shareholders with an address outside an Eligible Country are considered Ineligible Shareholders and will have their pro-rata entitlement of AGC Shares sold and the net proceeds paid to them in cash upon AGC Shares being admitted to the Official List.
Assuming no further Shares are issued prior to the Effective Date, each Shareholder will receive 5 AGC Shares for every 36 MAG Shares held on the In-specie Distribution Record Date.
Eligible Shareholders may be exposed to tax consequences as a result of the In Specie Distribution. See section 10.19 for details for Australian taxation implications for Australian tax resident Shareholders.
10.16 Effect of the Proposed Transaction on Existing Options
In order to receive AGC Shares pursuant to the In-specie Distribution, Option holders must exercise their Options and be registered on the Company’s share register on the In-specie Distribution Record Date.
In accordance with the terms of issue of each of the existing Options in the Company outstanding as at the date Resolution 5 is passed and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.22.3, the number of Options must remain the same but to ensure the proportionate ownership interest of Option holders remains the same before and after the Proposed Transaction, the exercise price of each such outstanding Option in the Company will be automatically reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each Share. There will be no early lapsing of any existing Options for any Company employee or director who holds such Options and who becomes employed by AGC in lieu of the Company.
10.17 Plans for the Company following the Proposed Transaction
Magmatic will focus on its three remaining East Lachlan gold and porphyry gold-copper exploration portfolio, including the Wellington North, Myall and Parkes Projects.
10.18 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
Advantages
The Directors consider that the Proposed Transaction will have the following advantages for the Company and its Shareholders.
-
MAG shareholders will retain their current percentage ownership interest in the capital of Magmatic Resources and exposure to the Company’s three gold and porphyry gold-copper projects in the East Lachlan.
-
MAG will own a significant percentage of the newly listed company AGC and have exposure to both the Moorefield Gold Project and two additional and complimentary gold projects being Gundagai and Cargelligo.
-
The In-specie Distribution will allow MAG shareholders to individually own shares in AGC and have exposure to both the Moorefield Gold Project and enhanced exposure to multiple drill ready high value discovery opportunities at the Gundagai and Cargelligo projects.
-
AGC will be separately well funded to advance both the Moorefield, Gundagai and Cargelligo gold projects.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 32 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
- Magmatic Resources will have reduced funding needs, allowing the Company to apply its resources to its three remaining projects, and upcoming exploration programs, including follow up drilling expected at the Lady Ilse target in the immediate future.
The Directors believe that the market is attributing minimal value to the Moorefield Gold/Polymetallic Project. The Board believes this may be due to the Company’s recent exploration focus on its porphyry gold-copper projects in the East Lachlan. As a junior explorer it is difficult to advance multiple projects at the same time. The Moorefield Project is an advanced orogenic gold/polymetallic project similar in age and geological setting to the Fosterville Gold Mine in Victoria. Together with other nearby junior exploration companies, they have received significant market appreciation in today’s gold market environment. Separating Moorefield into another listed company and adding two more gold projects should enable the market to fully value their prospectivity and extract additional value from them.
The Separation by Demerger from the Company will mean that both AGC and the Company will have a primary focus that will not be affected by events or occurrences relating to other projects.
The Board believes that investors in the Company, and the Company itself, would benefit from a simplified corporate and exploration strategy focused on its East Lachlan portfolio.
The In-specie Distribution gives each and every Shareholder an equal and tradeable piece of the AGC assets. Shareholders can choose to divest this or hold it based on their views of the AGC prospects.
Further the entitlement right provides shareholders an equal right but not an obligation to retain their proportional interest in AGC Shares. Additionally, the separate listing of AGC provides a free market for the trading of shares in AGC.
Any future capital raisings of the Company are expected to be more achievable by each individual entity as the focus of the funding will be on either specifically, the Company’s remaining assets or the Projects.
The completion of the Proposed Transaction will provide Shareholders with the ability to participate in the exploration upside of the Projects in a separate company with separate financing capabilities whilst also maintaining their investment exposure to the Company’s remaining projects.
The advancement and potential development of the Projects could unlock significant value for AGC Shareholders which could be better reflected in AGC’s share price (once listed).
Disadvantages
The Directors consider that one of the main disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction is that there is no guarantee that the AGC Shares will rise in value.
There are also a number of potential disadvantages arising from AGC seeking further funding. These include, but are not limited to:
-
(a) dilution of AGC Shareholders’ shareholdings via issuing the AGC Shares to NSR, NSR Shareholders and the participants in the Capital Raising; and
-
(b) uncertainty regarding AGC’s ability to raise required funding now and in the future.
-
(c) Shareholders may incur additional transaction costs if they wish to dispose of their new investment in AGC (e.g. brokerage costs).
There may be a taxation consequence in respect of the distribution of AGC Shares to the Shareholders. Details of the possible general taxation effect of the Proposed Transaction are set out in section 10.19 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The costs relating to AGC and the Separation by Demerger (some of which will initially be incurred by the Company) will include, but are not limited to:
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 33 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
-
(a) adviser and other fees incurred in the preparation of the documentation giving effect to the In-specie Distribution; and
-
(b) tax advice obtained in relation to taxation consequences of the In-specie Distribution.
As a result of the return of capital, the Company will forego a percentage of the premium it might have received from a person seeking to acquire a controlling stake in the Moorefield project.
Assuming completion of the Proposed Transaction, there will be two separate companies that will require to be funded and will incur ongoing administrative costs (being the Company and AGC). This will lead to a duplication of costs to Shareholders in some instances (e.g. directors’ fees, which for AGC will begin to be paid following admission of AGC to the Official List).
10.19 Tax Consequences
The Company considers the proposed Demerger has a good basis to qualify for dividend demerger relief and CGT demerger and rollover relief (jointly referred to as Demerger Relief ). On behalf of Shareholders, the Company will apply to the Commissioner of Taxation ( Commissioner ) for a class ruling in connection with the Separation by Demerger to confirm this. The Commissioner will consider the Application based on all the facts and circumstances in ruling whether the Demerger Relief is available.
The In-Specie Distribution is not conditional on the Company obtaining the Demerger Relief and accordingly shareholders should be aware of the potentially adverse tax consequences which may arise if Demerger Relief is not granted (and seek independent advice in this regard).
(a) Australian taxation implications for Australian tax resident Shareholders
On the assumption that a favourable class ruling is obtained from the ATO confirming Demerger Relief is applicable, the following includes a general summary of the Australian taxation consequences for Australian resident Shareholders who receive AGC Shares in respect of the capital reduction. The taxation information below is applicable to Australian residents who hold their Shares on capital account and are not subject to the taxation of financial arrangement provisions contained in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act (1997) (“ITAA 1997”).
The information below is not a complete analysis of all taxation implications relevant to the proposed Separation by Demerger and all Shareholders should obtain independent tax advice regarding the income tax and capital gains tax implications specific to their circumstances. Specifically, Shareholders who hold their Shares on revenue account (for example, Shareholders who are share traders and certain institutional investors), and Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for income tax purposes, should all seek independent taxation advice. The information below does not consider the future tax implications associated with holding or selling the Shares or AGC Shares following implementation of the Separation by Demerger.
The information below has been prepared based on the taxation laws, regulations, rulings and administrative guidance and judicial interpretations as at 18 November 2020. It is important to note the ultimate interpretation of taxation law rests with the courts and that the law, and the way the revenue authorities seek to administer the law, may change over time. Accordingly, information below represents an interpretation of existing law based upon generally accepted interpretations of that law.
Australian Tax laws are complicated and subject to legislative and interpretive change both prospectively and (occasionally) retrospectively. Changes in the tax law or interpretation of the tax law subsequent to the date of this Explanatory Memorandum may alter the tax treatment of the Separation by Demerger.
There could also be implications for Shareholders in addition to those described above. The information provided below is general in nature and the individual circumstances of each shareholder may affect the tax implications of the Demerger for that Shareholder. Shareholders should seek appropriate independent professional advice that considers the tax implications in respect of their own specific circumstances.

The information below has been prepared on the basis that Shareholders who are residents of Australia and who hold their Shares on capital account for tax purposes should be eligible to choose Demerger Relief. Broadly, Demerger Relief ensures that any CGT consequences from the transaction may be deferred, and that the dividend component (if any) of a distribution is not taxed in the hands of the Shareholders. Should the Company not obtain Demerger Relief, there is a risk that the distribution may result in a tax liability for Shareholders.
(c) Dividends and dividend demerger relief
If the Company’s In-Specie Distribution of the AGC shares to the Shareholders is debited to the Company’s share capital account, the distribution should be a distribution of capital and not a dividend for income tax purposes to the Shareholders.
To any extent the In-Specie Distribution is not debited to the Company’s share capital account, the dividend demerger relief is relevant to the Shareholders to ensure the balance of the in-specie distribution of AGC shares to them is not treated as an unfranked or partly unfranked dividend in the hands of the Shareholders. The tax consequence to the Shareholders of a receipt of an unfranked or partly unfranked dividend will depend on the tax characteristics of each Shareholder.
The extent of any unfranked dividend depends on whether there are any franking credits at the Company level. If no credits are available any dividend will be unfranked.
Please refer to (f) below in relation to the Application of the demerger tax integrity measures.
(d) CGT Consequences
The capital reduction will give rise to a CGT event for Shareholders representing the distribution of AGC Shares. The CGT event will happen at the time the Company completes the capital reduction.
The Shareholders can choose whether or not to obtain demerger roll-over relief.
Where demerger roll-over relief is available and is chosen
(1) Capital gain is disregarded
If the CGT demerger relief is available, for Shareholders who choose demerger roll-over relief, any capital gain made arising from the CGT event happening to their Shares under the capital reduction will be disregarded.
(2) CGT cost base in Shares and AGC Shares
Shareholders will need to apportion the CGT cost base of their original Shares between their original Shares and new AGC Shares in accordance with the market values of the Shares and AGC Shares (or a reasonable approximation of these market values) just after the Separation by Demerger.
Further information in relation to the apportionment of cost bases will be provided by the Company subsequent to the Separation by Demerger being implemented.
(3) Time of acquisition of AGC Shares
For Shareholders who choose CGT demerger roll-over relief, their AGC Shares will have the same CGT characteristics as the underlying Shares. For the purposes of determining the availability of the CGT discount on a subsequent sale of AGC Shares, AGC Shares should be taken to have been acquired at the time the shareholder acquired their original Shares. Shareholders should seek appropriate tax advice to determine the application of the CGT discount in their specific circumstances.

Notice of General Meeting
Where demerger roll-over relief is not available or is available but is not chosen
(1) Capital gain is not disregarded
If CGT Demerger Relief is not available or is available but Shareholders not choose to obtain demerger roll-over relief, any capital gain made arising from the capital reduction under the Separation by Demerger will not be disregarded.
Shareholders may be entitled to discount CGT treatment. Shareholders should seek appropriate tax advice to determine the application of the CGT discount in their specific circumstances.
If the capital component of the Capital Reduction Amount does not exceed the CGT cost base in the Shares, no capital gain should be made. Shareholders will not make a capital loss as a result of the return of capital under the Separation by Demerger.
(e) CGT cost base in Shares and AGC Shares
Shareholders who do not choose to obtain CGT demerger roll-over relief should apportion the first element of the CGT cost base in their Shares between those Shares and AGC Shares received under the Separation by Demerger. The method of apportionment is the same as the method for Shareholders who choose to obtain demerger roll-over relief as discussed above.
(f) Time of acquisition of AGC Shares
Where CGT demerger roll-over relief is not chosen, all of the AGC Shares transferred to Shareholders will be treated as having been acquired at the time they are transferred to the Shareholders. This will be relevant to Shareholders in determining the availability of the CGT discount on a subsequent sale of AGC Shares. Shareholders should seek appropriate tax advice to determine the application of the CGT discount in their specific circumstances.
(g) Application of demerger tax integrity measures
In certain circumstances part of an in-specie distribution can be treated as a dividend for Australian tax purposes. The dividend component would be that amount of the in- specie distribution by which the Company does not reduce share capital. The Company expects to determine the Capital Reduction Amount by reference to the allocation required by the principles which should set out in the ATO Class Ruling. The dividend component should therefore be that amount by which the market value of the AGC Shares arising from the in-specie distribution exceeds the Capital Reduction Amount. On the basis the ATO confirms the in-specie distribution qualifies for the dividend demerger relief, this dividend would not be assessable to Shareholders.
It should be noted, the Commissioner of Taxation may (in certain circumstances) make a determination under section 45B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (“ITAA 1936”) to deem certain payments to be treated as taxable unfranked dividends for taxation purposes. Having regard to the circumstances of the Separation by Demerger, the Company is of the view the Commissioner should not apply section 45B to the proposed Separation by Demerger. The Company is also seeking confirmation from the ATO on this matter in the ATO Class Ruling.
For completeness, the following is an outline of the potential Australian income tax implications for Australian resident Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account should the Commissioner make a determination under section 45B in respect of the Separation by Demerger:
-
Shareholders may make a capital gain to the extent that the Capital Reduction Amount exceeds the particular Shareholder's cost base.
-
All or part of the Capital Reduction Amount may be treated as an unfranked dividend. This amount would be assessable income for Australian resident Shareholders or subject to dividend withholding tax for non-resident Shareholders (generally at the rate of 30% on the gross amount, subject to any applicable double tax agreement).
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 36 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
-
The CGT cost base in the Shares may not change as a result of the Demerger.
-
The CGT cost base in AGC Shares should be equal to the Capital Reduction Amount.
-
AGC Shares should be treated as having been acquired at the time they are transferred to Shareholders.
(h) Taxation implications for the Company
The transfer of shares in AGC from the Company to the Shareholders is not expected to have any material adverse tax implications for the Company if the CGT demerger relief applies. If the relief is not available, the Company may consider offsetting any capital gain arising from the transfer of the AGC shares against any available carry forward or current income tax losses.
10.20 Consequences if the Proposed Transaction does not complete
The Company will, in the event Shareholders do not approve the Separation by Demerger or the Proposed Transaction does not otherwise complete, continue to hold the Projects. Given the Company’s focus will be on its East Lachlan portfolio, the Company will consider its alternatives to maximise Shareholder return from the Projects.
10.21 Information Concerning Company Shares
The highest and lowest recorded sale price of Shares as traded on ASX during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the date of this Explanatory Memorandum was 46 cents on 13 February 2020 and 11.5 cents on 12 November 2019.

11.5 Background of the Projects and Proposed Project Development Plan
Subject to the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions, the combined AGC project portfolio will be considered to provide multiple near-term discovery opportunities of ‘Fosterville-style’ orogenic gold, McPhillamys-style gold and ‘Cobar-Hera-style’ gold-polymetallic mineralisation within a Central Lachlan Fold Belt focussed exploration company.
The projects comprise granted exploration licences EL7675 ‘Moorefield’, EL8669 ‘Derriwong’, EL8955 ‘Gundagai’ and EL8968 ‘Cargelligo’ covering approximately 1000km2 in the central Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales. Brief descriptions of the Projects are set out below with more detail provided in the Schedule 2, which Shareholders are encouraged to read.
MOOREFIELD PROJECT - Gold/Polymetallic
The Moorefield project comprises two granted exploration licences covering 481.5km2 (EL7675 ‘Moorefield’ and EL8669 ‘Derriwong’). The project includes the drill ready 15km long Boxdale - Carlisle Reefs orogenic gold trend defined by strong surface geochemical anomalism and significant existing drill results, including:
- 36m at 1.21g/t Au from 81m (MFRC017, Carlisle Reefs)[5]

-
30m at 1.60 g/t Au from 80m (MFRC013, Carlisle Reefs)[6]
-
19m @ 1.28g/t Au from 114m (BDRC001, Boxdale)[7]
-
15m @ 1.00g/t Au from 85m (BDRC003, Boxdale)[8]
Other high priority drill ready prospects, include the Pattons Prospect, considered prospective for AuCu mineralisation and characterised by several discrete magnetic features underlying a gold anomalous exhalative horizon within the Girilambone Group (multipoint rockchip anomalism over 400m, up to 6.14g/t Au).
More detail on the exploration potential of the Moorefield Project is provided in Schedule 2.
CARGELLIGO PROJECT - Gold/Polymetallic
The Cargelligo project consists of an exploration licence covering 227km2 (EL8968 ‘Cargelligo’) and is located 15km west of the town of Lake Cargelligo in NSW. The Project comprises multiple drill ready Cobar-style gold-polymetallic prospects (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb) within a 15km zone along strike from the Cobar Mining District in the southern Cobar Basin.
The drill ready prospects are characterised by favourable geology coincident with soil geochemistry and EM conductors identified by a recent government airborne EM Survey (Geological Survey of NSW) and untested ground EM plates, also with coincident IP prospects, drill intersections and anomalous shallow drilling geochemistry.
The drill ready Mount Boorithumble and Achilles 3 prospects are located along strike from and considered exploration lookalikes of Aurelia Metals’ (ASX:AMI) Hera Deposit and the emerging Federation Discovery.
More detail on the exploration potential of the Cargelligo Project is provided in Schedule 2.
GUNDAGAI PROJECT - Gold
The Gundagai project consists of an exploration licence covering 265km2 (EL8955 ‘Gundagai’) and comprises a drill ready prospect for McPhillamys-style gold (e.g. Grandview), also more greenfields epithermal gold-copper (e.g. Rosehill) and a large-tonnage potential zinc-lead-silver prospects (e.g. Bongongalong) and many high grade orogenic gold prospects.
Gold prospects show similarities to the Late Silurian hosted McPhillamys 2.3Moz Gold Deposit (ASX:RRL). The drill ready Grandview Gold Prospect is characterised by a 1.5km zone of strong gold-in-soil geochemistry coincident with sheared quartz-sericite-carbonate-pyrite altered volcaniclastics returning up to 35g/t Au in rockchips and represents a near term high-grade gold discovery opportunity.
More detail on the exploration potential of the Gundagai Project is provided in Schedule 2.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The Company intends to conduct a staged exploration development plan with activity focussed initially

11.8 Risk Factors in Holding AGC Shares
The AGC Shares to be distributed under the In-Specie Distribution should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of AGC, particularly that of mineral exploration. Whilst the Directors recommend the Proposed Transaction, potential investors should consider whether the AGC Shares offered are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out below. This list is not exhaustive and potential investors should read the Notice in its entirety and if in any doubt consult their professional advisor.
11.9 Risks Specific to AGC and its Projects
AGC’s exploration projects represent the main business activity and focus of AGC. Risks specific to these projects and AGC’s circumstances include the following:
(a) Demerger Approval Risk
MAG has convened a meeting of its shareholders on 18 December 2020 to seek approval for the Demerger. The Offer is subject to obtainment of the Demerger Approval.
No assurance can be given that the Demerger Approval will be obtained.
- (b) ATO Ruling Risk
MAG will seek a ruling from the ATO in respect of the intended distribution of 24,043,791 Shares to Existing Magmatic Shareholders. There is no guarantee or assurance that MAG will be successful in obtaining the tax ruling sought. In the event that the Demerger Relief is not obtained, there is a risk that a tax liability may arise for Shareholders in respect of the AGC Shares once the In-Specie Distribution takes place. Further information in this regard is contained in Section 10.19.
- (c) Ministerial Approval Risk
Ministerial Approval is required for the transfer of the MR Tenements and the NSR Tenements. In addition, approval of the Minister is needed where there is a change in effective control of the licence holder. The NSR Tenements will be subject to a change in effective control of the licence holder, but this is dealt with through the Ministerial Approval process. In the event that Ministerial Approval is not obtained, AGC will not acquire a 100% interest in the Tenements
There is no guarantee that such Ministerial Approval will be obtained.
- (d) Exploration and evaluation risk
The future value of the Company will depend on its ability to find and develop resources that are economically recoverable within AGC’s licences. Mineral exploration and development is inherently highly speculative and involves a significant degree of
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 44 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
risk. There is no guarantee that it will be economic to extract these resources or that there will be commercial opportunities available to monetise these resources. The circumstances in which a mineral deposit becomes or remains commercially viable depends on a number of factors. These include the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, concentration and proximity to infrastructure as well as external factors such as supply and demand. This, along with other factors such as maintaining title to tenements and consents, successfully design construction, commissioning and operating of projects and processing facilities may result in projects not being developed, or operations becoming unprofitable.
(e) No history of production
AGC’s properties are exploration stage only. The Company has never had any direct material interest in mineral producing properties. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of gold will be discovered at any of the properties of the Company or any future properties, nor is there any assurance that the exploration or development programs of the Company thereon will yield any positive results.
(f) Permit risks
The rights to mineral permits carry with them various obligations which the holder is required to comply with in order to ensure the continued good standing of the permit and, specifically, obligations in regard to minimum expenditure levels and responsibilities in respect of the environment and safety. Failure to observe these requirements could prejudice the right to maintain title to a given area and result in government action to forfeit a permit or permits.
There is no guarantee that current or future exploration permit applications or existing permit renewals will be granted, that they will be granted without undue delay, or that the Company can economically comply with any conditions imposed on any granted exploration permits.
(g) Changes in commodity price
The Company’s possible future revenues may be derived mainly from gold and/or from royalties gained from potential joint ventures or other arrangements.
Consequently, the Company’s potential future earnings will likely be closely related to the price of gold.
(h) Land access risk
Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. In all cases the acquisition of prospective permits is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential.
Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by small non-mechanised mining operations or land ownership, including registered and unregistered land interests and regulatory requirements within the jurisdiction where the Company operates.
(i) Reliance on Key Personnel
Whilst the Company has just a few executives and senior personnel, its progress in pursuing its exploration and evaluation programmes within the time frames and within the costs structure as currently envisaged could be dramatically influenced by the loss of existing key personnel or a failure to secure and retain additional key personnel as the Company’s exploration programme develops. The resulting impact from such loss would be dependent upon the quality and timing of the employee’s replacement.
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL
Page 45 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
Although the key personnel of the Company have a considerable amount of experience and have previously been successful in their pursuits of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral projects, there is no guarantee or assurance that they will be successful in their objectives pursuant to this Prospectus.

A summary of the rights attaching to AGC Shares under the AGC Constitution is set out below. The summary is qualified by the full terms of the AGC Constitution (copies of the AGC Constitution may be inspected at the registered office of AGC during normal business hours by appointment with the Company secretary). These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the AGC Constitution with statutory, ASX Listing Rules and common law requirements. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive.
The following is a summary of the principal rights which will attach to AGC Shares.
(a) Voting
Every holder of AGC Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of AGC Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every AGC Share held by him or her. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is effectively demanded and the demand is not withdrawn.
(b) Dividends
Dividends are payable out of AGC’s profits and are declared by the AGC Directors. AGC Shareholders are entitled to dividends as a result of their ownership of their AGC Shares in accordance with the AGC Constitution and subject to AGC’s dividend policy.

Page 53 of 94
Notice of General Meeting
Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating dealings in AGC Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the AGC directors.
The AGC directors may refuse to register any transfer of AGC Shares, where AGC is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or a Restriction Agreement.

Each AGC Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for AGC and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to AGC Shareholders under AGC Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
(e) Liquidation rights
AGC has only issued one class of shares, which all rank equally in the event of liquidation. Once all the liabilities of AGC are satisfied, a liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of AGC Shareholders divide among the AGC Shareholders the whole or any part of the remaining assets of AGC. The liquidator can with the sanction of a special resolution of AGC Shareholders vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of AGC Shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit, but no AGC Shareholder can be compelled to accept any AGC Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(f) Alteration to the AGC Constitution
AGC Constitution may only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of AGC Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days’ written notice is required, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

A retiring director is eligible for re-election. The directors may appoint a director either in addition to existing directors or to fill a casual vacancy, who then holds office until the next annual general meeting. AGC Shareholders may elect a person as a Director by resolution passed at a general meeting.
(h) Directors – fees and remuneration
The remuneration of the Directors is determined by the Board and must not include a commission on or percentage of operating revenue. The total amount of Director’s fees payable by AGC to non-executive Directors must not exceed the maximum amount determined by shareholders at a general meeting.
(i) Sale of Non-Marketable Holdings
AGC may take steps in respect of non-marketable holdings of Shares in AGC to effect an orderly sale of those Shares in the event that holders do not take steps to retain their holdings.

Notice of General Meeting
(j) Listing Rules
If AGC is admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in AGC Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in AGC Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.
12. Resolution 6: Disposal of Major Asset
Listing Rule 11.4 provides that an entity must not dispose of a major asset if at the time of the disposal it is aware that the person acquiring the asset intends to issue or offer the securities with a view to becoming listed. This rule does not apply if, amongst other things, the holders of ordinary securities in the entity approve of the disposal.
AGC is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Proposed Transaction is conditional upon AGC being admitted to the Official List of ASX and, for that reason, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4.
For more information on the Proposed Transaction, please refer to section 10 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The Company is proposing, subject to shareholder approval, to demerge its Moorefield Gold Project, by transferring the MR Tenements to AGC in exchange for the AGC Consideration Shares; and undertake a capital reduction and in-specie distribution of 80.146% of the AGC shares that the Company will hold as a result of the transfer of the MR Tenements ( Magmatic Demerger Transaction ). For completeness and as set out section 10.1, contemporaneously with the MR Demerger Transaction, AGC also proposes to acquire the NSR Tenements from NSR in exchange for the NSR Consideration Shares and NSR will undertake an in-specie capital reduction of 80.146% of the AGC Shares that the NSR will hold as a result of the transfer of the NSR Tenements.
Under Listing Rules 11.4 and 11.4.1,a listed company can only spin out a major asset if:
-
(a) the securities in the spin-out vehicle (other than those being retained by the company) are being offered, issued or transferred pro rata to the holders of the ordinary shares in the company, or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion is fair in all the circumstances; or
-
(b) the company’s shareholders approve the spin-out.
The Magmatic Demerger Transaction is regarded as a spin-out of a major asset for these purposes and paragraph (a) above may not apply, so it is a requirement for the Magmatic Demerger Transaction to proceed that the Company’s shareholders approve the Magmatic Demerger Transaction under paragraph (b) above.
Resolution 6 seeks the required shareholder approval to the Magmatic Demerger Transaction under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b)
If Shareholder Approval is received pursuant to Resolution 6, then subject to the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions, the Company will be permitted to proceed with the Magmatic Demerger Transaction involving the disposal of the MR Tenements to AGC and progress the Proposed Transaction, including the proposed listing of AGC Shares on the ASX.
If Shareholder Approval is not received, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Magmatic Demerger Transaction and will be prohibited from transferring the MR Tenements to AGC and
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL

Notice of General Meeting
completing the Proposed Transaction. Shareholders will not receive shares in AGC and the MR Tenements will remain with Magmatic.
13. Resolution 7: Approval of 10% placement capacity
13.1 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% (10% Placement Capacity).
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.
Resolution 7 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.
If Resolution 7 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 7 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.
13.2 Information on 10% Placement Capacity

(b) Formula for 10% placement capacity
If this Resolution 7 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula.

plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

less the number of fully-paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period;
-
D = 10%; and

Notice of General Meeting
-
(ii) There are currently 173,115,298 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
(iii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 22 October 2020.
-
(iv) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(v) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(vii) 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.
-
(viii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
(ix) 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%.
-
(x) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(1) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(2) 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 under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(1) the purpose of the issue;
-
(2) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(3) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(4) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(5) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(6) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

14. Resolution 8: Adoption of New Constitution
14.1 General
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by a special resolution of its shareholders.
The Company’s current Constitution was adopted by the Company in May 2017 and has not been comprehensively reviewed or materially amended since then.
The Company has conducted a review of its existing Constitution to bring it into line with current law and market practice and to ensure it reflects the amendments to the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules since the current Constitution was adopted on in 2017. As the changes introduced affect provisions in the current Constitution, the Board has determined that it is more appropriate that a new Constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) be adopted, rather than amending the current Constitution. The Board also considers this a good opportunity to modernise and simplify some of the existing language in the Constitution. In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Proposed Constitution has been approved by ASX.
A summary of the material differences between the existing Constitution and the Proposed Constitution are set out below.
Resolution 8 is a Special Resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
14.2 Summary of Material Differences between the existing Constitution and the Proposed Constitution
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the Company’s current Constitution. Many of the changes are administrative or minor in nature and the Directors believe that the amendments will not have a material impact on Shareholders.
It is not practicable to list all of the differences between the existing Constitution and the Proposed Constitution, and the Directors encourage Shareholders to review the Proposed Constitution in detail
2020.11.18 MAG AGM NOM FINAL

Notice of General Meeting
before deciding how to vote on the Resolution. Set out below is a summary of the material differences between the existing Constitution and the Proposed Constitution:
| Material Change | Summary |
|---|---|
| Section 2.4 | This section allows electronic execution of documents referred to throughout the Constitution). |
| Sections 22, 24, 26 and 28 | These sections facilitate virtual and hybrid meetings |
| Section 82 | This reflects the language of new ASX Listing Rule 15.12 regarding restricted securities |
14.3 Copies of the Proposed Constitution
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request by the Company Secretary by email to [email protected]. Shareholders are encouraged to contact the Company if they have any concerns or queries.
14.4 Directors’ recommendation
Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors consider Resolution 8 to be in the interests of the Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders adopt the Proposed Constitution by voting in favour of Resolution 8.
The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.

MOOREFIELD GOLD PROJECT
Background
The Moorefield project comprises two granted exploration licences covering 481.5km2 (EL7676 ‘Moorefield’ and EL8669 ‘Derriwong’). The project includes the drill ready 15km long Boxdale - Carlisle Reefs orogenic gold trend defined by strong surface geochemical anomalism and significant existing drill results, including:
-
36m at 1.21g/t Au from 81m (MFRC017, Carlisle Reefs)[9]
-
30m at 1.60 g/t Au from 80m (MFRC013, Carlisle Reefs)[10]
-
19m @ 1.28g/t Au from 114m (BDRC001, Boxdale)[11]
-
15m @ 1.00g/t Au from 85m (BDRC003, Boxdale)[12]
Other high priority drill ready prospects, include the Pattons Prospect, considered prospective for AuCu mineralisation and characterised by several discrete magnetic features underlying a gold anomalous exhalative horizon within the Girilambone Group (multipoint rockchip anomalism over 400m, up to 6.14g/t Au).
Geological Setting
Moorefield covers part of the Parkes Terrace, a broad north-trending belt, which is part of the Girilambone Anticlinorial Zone. The Girilambone Anticlinorial Zone is bound to the southwest by the north-northwest trending Gilmore Suture. An eastern splay off the Gilmore Suture transects the project area.
The Girilambone Group consists of occasionally outcropping, multiply deformed metasediments of lower greenschist (grade) facies. Slivers of thinly bedded chert are also present within the Girilambone Group and crop out in the east of the tenement area in the hinge zones of NW-SE oriented folds. The Girilambone Group is unconformably overlain by Siluro-Devonian volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Derriwong Group to the east and west of the tenement in the Tullamore and Murda Synclines respectively, which are prospective for stratabound base metal mineralisation. The Derriwong Group subcrops and outcrops in the north-western portion of the tenement. Volcanic units within the Derriwong Group include the Meloola Volcanics which are considered correlates of the Mineral Hill Volcanics, which host the Mineral Hill deposit 30 kilometres to the north-west of EL7675. The Derriwong Group is overlain by shallow west dipping early Devonian sediments of the Yarra-Yarra Creek Group in the Murda Syncline.

Previous Exploration
The Boxdale mine, originally referred to as the Coronation Mine started in 1955 and the Carlisle Reef Prospect has reports of alluvial mining being carried out as early as 1894 with reef mining beginning in 1897.
Modern exploration activity has included augur and rockchip surface geochemistry, high-resolution aeromagnetic and ground magnetic surveys and limited shallow drilling.
A total of 271 auger holes have been completed along the Boxdale-Carlisle Reefs Trend at the Elswick Road, Boxdale East, Boxdale, Boxdale NW and The Dam prospects (for a total of 1,387.5m). Auger hole depths range from 3 to 15m, averaging 5.1m. The last 1.5m was sampled at auger refusal depth. At the Elswick Road gold prospect auger drilling defined a gold–arsenic auger geochemical anomaly over 1.4km in length and up to 140m wide associated with anomalous gold in rock chip results.
A total of 241 surface rock chip samples were collected at the Carlisle Reefs, L’Estrange Reef, Pattons, Golden Gulch, Elswick Road, Boxdale and The Dam prospectsHigh-grade gold in rock chips was returned from Carlisle Reefs gold prospect over 1.2km of strike, related to quartz-arsenopyritepyrite veined, quartz-sericite-carbonate altered schist. In addition, significant gold in rock chip results were returned from L’Estrange Reef gold prospect over 200-300m of strike and at Patton’s gold prospect over 400m of strike and define drill ready zones.
RC drilling was completed at both Boxdale by Gold Fields and at Carlisle Reefs by Magmatic Resources Ltd, with both programs returning significant intercepts, including:

Exploration Potential
The project area includes two distinct geological domains:
-
(a) The Ordovician Girilambone Group consists of multiply deformed metasediments of lower grade greenschist facies. The metasediments are host to several occurrences of orogenic-style gold mineralisation
-
(b) Recent reinterpretations of eastern Australian geology (Cayley 2017) indicate a possible link and similarities between the Moorefield Project area and the Bendigo Zone, host to the Fosterville Gold Deposit in the Victorian Goldfields

Pattons Gold Copper Prospect
The drill ready Pattons Prospect is considered prospective for Au-Cu mineralisation and characterised by several discrete magnetic features underlying a gold anomalous exhalative horizon within the Girilambone Group (multipoint rockchip anomalism over 400m, up to 6.14g/t Au).
Ghost Hill Gold Copper Zinc Prospect
Previously explored by Getty, Shell and Billiton primarily for base metals. Ghost hill is hosted within limestone and volcanic units of the Derriwong Group. Historic exploration defined a polymetallic (Au - Cu - Zn - Pb - Bi) magnetite skarn hosted in limestone stratigraphy, associated with a large (2.5km x 1.5km) magnetic high anomaly. Limited historical drill testing has returned anomalous gold & base metal intersections, incl: 6m @ 1.3g/t Au, 0.13% Pb, 0.15% Zn from 102m (GDDH1).
CARGELLIGO GOLD PROJECT
Background
The Cargelligo project consists of an exploration licence covering 227km2 (EL8968 ‘Cargelligo’) and is located 15km west of the town of Lake Cargelligo in NSW. The Project comprises multiple drill ready Cobar-style gold-polymetallic prospects (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb) within a 15km zone along strike from the Cobar Mining District in the southern Cobar Basin.
The drill ready prospects are characterised by coincident soil geochemistry and EM conductors identified by a recent government airborne EM Survey (Geological Survey of NSW) and untested ground EM plates, also with coincident IP prospects, drill intersections and anomalous shallow drilling geochemistry.
The drill ready Mount Boorithumble and Achilles 3 prospects t are located along strike from and considered exploration lookalikes of Aurelia Metals’ (ASX:AMI) Hera Deposit and the emerging Federation Discovery.
Geological Setting
The Cargelligo Project is hosted within the prospective Rast Trough of the Cobar Basin in the Central Lachlan Fold Belt.
The Achilles Shear is a 14km long north-south striking structure on the western side of the tenement within which the rocks are known to be mineralised and intensely altered. It is interpreted to represent the along strike continuation of the Rookery Fault system in the Cobar-Peak area being an important feature controlling mineralisation of the Cobar gold-polymetallic deposits (e.g. Hera, Peak Mines).
Previous Exploration
Geochemical surveying across the tenement in the 1970s defined broad base metal anomalism. In 1979, EZ Ltd at Mt Boorithumble drilled a 240 hole, RAB program, which defined a 2km long base

metal anomalous zone with max values reaching 2400ppm Pb, 380ppm Cu, 780ppm Zn and 150ppm As in separate samples.
The RAB anomalies were drill tested by EZ with a diamond and two percussion holes in 1981 and 1982. Hole Bo-1 intercepted sheared felsic volcanics with 45m of sulphides alteration including 8m of 5-15% sulphides with encouraging gold, silver and base-metal mineralisation in the diamond hole. Best result was 3m at 0.5g/t Au, 150g/t Ag, 2% Pb, 2% Zn, 1.2% Cu from 114m within 9m at 0.5g/t Au and anomalous base metals. Mineralisation was never followed up and is open in every direction.
In the late 1990s Santa Fe Mining Ltd conducted regional BLEG, stream sediment, rock chip and roadside air-core sampling programmes. Western Plains Gold conducted regional air-core drilling across the Achilles Shear zone with maximum assays 0.15ppm Au, 80ppm Cu, 248ppm Pb, 763ppm Zn and 42ppm As, and were highly encouraged by the width, intensity and similarities to the Cobar Peak trend.
In 2012, Thomson resources aircore drilled reconnaissance east-west lines at both Achilles 3 and Mt Boorithumble. From eleven holes drilled at Achilles 3, seven holes returned over 500ppm to 3600ppm Pb over 4m samples. Mt Boorithumble aircore lines also returned anomalous base metals. A moving loop EM survey over both Achilles 3 and Mt Boorithumble produced four large, shallow, conductive EM plates but were never followed up with drilling.

Exploration Potential
The principal goal for the project is to define large tonnage shear hosted high-grade gold and polymetallic orebodies. The geological setting of the Achilles and Mt Boorithumble prospects is considered analogous to the Hera Deposit and the emerging Federation Discovery.
Achilles 2 Gold Copper Lead Zinc Prospect
Achilles 2 is characterised by a 1.6km long zone of intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration with strong anomalous base metals and arsenic in sheared and foliated dacitic tuff defined by shallow drilling.
PC1 and PC2 intersected quartz-rich tuffs and rhyolite. Supergene enrichment of Cu was intersected in PC2 which returned 18m @ 0.44% Cu (maximum of 0.88% Cu) from 30m, 14m @ 0.22% Pb from 16m in PC2 and was only assayed for Cu Pb and Zn.

Recent rock chip sampling (May 2020) by New South Resources of gossanous material at the Achilles 2 gravel quarry assayed 0.31% Pb, 0.15% Cu, 175ppm Bi, 143ppm Mo, 938ppm As, and 1.4ppm Ag.
Achilles 3 Gold Copper Lead Zinc Prospect
In 2012, an east-west line of air core drilling (10 holes, 139m) tested a 300m long soil anomaly (lead values to max 598ppm) was highly encouraging, intersecting strong lead, zinc, copper anomalism, with best results in ACHAC023 of 4m at 3,600 ppm (0.4%) Pb, 1090ppm Zn and 654ppm Cu from 4m. Average hole depth was only 12m and deeper testing is required to test the anomaly in fresh rock.
A moving loop EM survey (2011) defined two large EM plates on either side of the soil anomaly. The western plate is 300m long, coincident with a subtle mag high and dips east towards a large airborne EM ( AEM ) anomaly defined by a Geological Survey of NSW AEM survey flown in 2019. Achilles 3 represents a compelling drill ready Cobar-style gold-polymetallic area of interest.

Achilles 3: showing proposed two drill holes designed to test coincident AEM conductor, shallow ground EM conductors, and anomalous surface geochemistry
Mt Boorithumble Gold Copper Lead Zinc Prospect
Mt Boorithumble is defined by a 2.4km long, base metal soil anomaly with folded and faulted sandstones and siltstones (Preston Formation) sediments juxtaposed against felsic volcanics (Ural Volcanics). Immediate drill prospects are defined by two untested ground EM plates with overlying anomalous RAB soil geochemistry. The largest EM plate is 300m in length and coincident with a subtle mag high interpreted to be a magnetite or pyrrhotite alteration halo. This EM plate lies on the western side of a small hill, immediately on the contact of the altered and sheared sediments and the volcanics and is along strike from anomalous RAB soils to 940ppm Pb and historic drillhole Bo-1 which intersected 3m @ 2% Pb, 2% Zn, 1.2% Cu, 150g/t Ag and 0.5g/t Au from 114m within a broader anomalous envelope.
The eastern EM plate is 100m in length and lies directly beneath a strong RAB soil anomaly and a recent rockchip of gossanous sheared siltstones with quartz veining returning 16g/t Ag and 0.22g/t Au, 0.23% Pb, 641ppm Cu and 2ppm Bi.

Regional
A 5km long, highly prospective regional prospect is the shear zone between Achilles 2 and Achilles 3. The shear zone is poorly exposed under shallow soil cover and returned anomalous Cu-Pb-Zn-As in intensely sheared volcanics in three 1km spaced aircore lines drilled in 2007 (Jones, 2007). This shear zone is considered a high priority for further exploration.
GUNDAGAI GOLD PROJECT (EL8955)
Background
The Gundagai project consists of an exploration licence covering 265km2 (EL8955 ‘Gundagai’) and comprises multiple drill ready prospects considered prospective for McPhillamys-style gold (e.g. Grandview), epithermal gold-copper (e.g. Rosehill) and large-tonnage zinc-lead-silver prospects (e.g. Bongongalong).
Gold prospects show similarities to the Late Silurian hosted McPhillamys 2.3Moz Gold Deposit (ASX:RRL). The drill ready Grandview Gold Prospect is characterised by a zone of sheared quartzsericite-carbonate-pyrite altered volcaniclastics returning up to 35g/t Au in composite rockchips and represents a near term high-grade gold discovery opportunity.

Gundagai Project, location plan
Geological Setting
The Gundagai project straddles the mafic volcanics of the Ordovician Jindalee Group with deformed serpentinites, early to late Silurian sediments and intermediate volcanics. Main Ridge is a 4km trend of sheared, gold-bearing, sediments, analogous to the Silurian rocks of AGC’s Grandview prospect. Mineralisation at Grandview is thought to be late Silurian in age with gold up to 35g/t in composite rockchips being associated with disseminated and structurally hosted pyrite, similar to the McPhillamys deposit.
Previous Exploration
Historically Gundagai was an important gold mining district in the late 19th century for both reef gold and alluvial river gold. Large scale alluvial mining and dredging took place in the rivers and significant gold was won. Numerous reef gold mines were also worked and have later been explored by more recent techniques. The Eyrie prospect has a strong Au As correlation and is hosted by the Ordovician

Jindalee Group. The prospect is marked by a 800m long and 200m wide very strong As and Au soil anomaly and is still open along strike in both directions. Shallow drilling resulted in:
-
WE956 1m at 4.19g/t Au from 69m and 8m at 0.22g/t Au from 102m
-
WE2 4m at 4.14 g/t Au from 48m
-
WE4 4m at 1.46g/t Au from 50m
-
WE6 4m at 1.45g/t Au from 12m
Modern exploration started in the 1960’s for base-metals with North Broken Hill Ltd exploring the Bongonalong Pb Zn Ag prospect where they defined a very large Pb Zn Cu soil anomaly (max soil value 0.39% Pb), this area was highly regarded and heavily explored by Pacminex Pty Ltd, The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Ltd, then in a JV by Australian Anglo American Ltd.
There are many wide, low-grade but broad Pb Zn intercepts documented, including:
-
DDH1 1.5m @ 3.3% Pb, 1.7% Zn
-
DDH1-9-3D: over 60m of quartz carbonate veins hosting galena sphalerite and pyrite mineralisation inc 1.2m at 4.2% Pb and 2.1% Zn and
-
DDH1-9-6D: Multiple wide zones of >1% Pb plus Zn
Twelve historic drill holes have been drilled over 5km strike and intersected lightly folded and fractured, rhythmically banded sandstone/siltstone with abundant ptygmatic quartz-carbonate veins hosting low grade lead, zinc and pyrite mineralisation over +50m wide intervals.
Australian Anglo American Ltd later defined a large Pb soil anomaly across Bongongalong South (1.7km +850ppm) which remains open in both directions along strike.
The Rosehill Prospect was first sampled in 1969 by Mineral Engineers Pty Ltd and is characterised by a 3km long, 60m wide Au Cu gossan with encouraging epithermal quartz pyrophyllite alunite sericite pyrite alteration. Three shallow holes in the early 1970’s by Pacmindex and then EZ Ltd confirmed very intense, upper-level, epithermal alteration including significant pyrite with anomalous gold and base metals and demonstrates that further drilling is warranted.
The Grandview Prospect was explored by Shell Ltd in 1986 and saw significant trench results (5.8m at 2g/t Au, 2.7m at 6.44g/t Au, 1.9m at 1.67g/t Au, 30m at 0.2g/t Au (in mine adit)). This work resulted in three shallow RC holes being drilled underneath historic gold mine workings. The RC holes were testing a 1.5km long zone of sheared and altered sediments and resulted in wide intercepts, including:
-
PGH-G-1: 54m at 0.26g/t from 0m including 6m at 0.63g/t from 42m
-
PGH-G-2: 6m at 1.0g/t from 36m and 21m at 0.38g/t Au from 66m
-
PGH-G-3: 3m at 1.62g/t from 33m
Exploration Potential
Grandview Gold Prospect
The Grandview prospect is drill ready and has significant potential to host McPhillamys-style gold mineralisation. Recently, quartz sericite pyrite carbonate alteration has been mapped over 1200m x 150m and 1m composite rockchip samples assayed 17g/t, 26g/t, 33g/t and 35g/t high-grade gold from sheared chert & altered sediments. These rockchips are the first samples analysed in 36 years and

results of strong Bi Te As pathfinders demonstrate the similarities to the McPhillamys resource (French et al 2015). The extensive surface gold anomalism defined by rockchips and soil geochemistry provides several drill ready prospects.
Rose Hill Gold Prospect
The 3km long, Rose Hill epithermal Cu Au Prospect hosted by intensely altered porphyritic andesitic volcaniclastics with geochemical pathfinder (Fe, S, Bi, Mo, Te, Cu, Pb, As) anomalism provides evidence for a fertile epithermal gold deposit.
The 3km long, Cu Au surface geochemistry and quartz, alunite, pyrophyllite pyrite alteration is typical of a high level epithermal alteration halo which, in the late stages of deposit formation, can produce a depletion of metals from retrograde acid alteration above the ore body and will result in very low drill intercepts if not drilled deep enough. This, coincident with a strong magnetic destruction zone is evidence the system has depth potential which makes this a valuable priority target for progressing towards drill ready stage.
Bongongalong Zinc Lead Prospect
At Bongongalong, 5km of gossanous horizons and many low-grade but broad drill intercepts provide an attractive base metal prospect. Recent sampling of historic drill core confirmed the presence of Pb Zn Ag mineralisation with high temperature pathfinder elements As, Bi, Te, Au, Sb, S, Fe.
