EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

1.1 Background

As announced on 2 May 2022, the Company has entered into a Convertible Note funding agreement with IRIS (Company Number 753 471 853) ( IRIS ) for up to $20,000,000 to help fast-track the Company’s integrated pig iron project in Nevada, USA ( Convertible Note Agreement ).

On 3 May 2022, the Company entered into a deed of assignment and assumption, whereby IRIS assigned its interest in the Convertible Note Agreement to Fabrice Evangelista ( Deed of Assignment ). Mr Evangelista is the Chief Executive Officer and owner of IRIS. All other material terms of the Convertible Note Agreement remained unchanged.

The Convertible Notes are convertible into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1, will convert at a price which is 95% of the five (5) daily variable weighted average prices of the Company’s Shares over the twenty (20) most recent trading days prior to the date that a conversion notice is issued ( Conversion Formula ).

On 19 May 2022, the Company issued the first tranche of convertible notes which comprised 520 convertible notes with a face value of $2,500 each raising $1,300,000, before costs ( Tranche 1 Convertible Notes ).

At the date of this Notice, the Company has converted 48 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes into 3,340,589 Shares.

1.2 General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the remaining 472 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes ( Remaining Notes ).

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Remaining Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Remaining Notes.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not

11

reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

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

By ratifying the issue of the Remaining Notes, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the amount of shares to be issued on conversion of the Remaining Notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Remaining Notes.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the amount of shares to be issued on conversion of the Remaining Notes will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Remaining Notes.

1.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Remaining Notes were issued to Fabrice Evangelista;

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

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

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

  • (c) the total number of Remaining Notes to be issued by the Company is 472; (d) the Convertible Notes (including the Remaining Notes) were issued on 19 May 2022;

  • (e) the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Remaining Notes is variable depending on the market price of the Company’s Shares at the time of conversion and will be calculated using the Conversion Formula;

12

  • (f) the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Remaining Notes will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which will be issued on the same terms and conditions of the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (g) the terms of the Convertible Notes are summarised in Schedule 1;

  • (h) the funds raised from the Remaining Notes will be used to help fast-track the Company’s integrated pig iron project in Nevada, USA; and

  • (i) the Remaining Notes were issued to Fabrice Evangelista under the Convertible Note Agreement, as assigned by the Deed of Assignment and Assumption. A summary of the material terms of both agreements are set out in Schedules 2 and 3, respectively.

(together, the Conversion Shares ).

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.

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

13

effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Conversion Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

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

Resolutions 2 to 8 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Conversion Shares.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2 to 8 are passed, the Conversion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Conversion Shares.

If Resolutions 2 to 8 are not passed, the Conversion Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Conversion Shares.

The issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Corporate Advisory Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

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

The issue of the Collateral Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Collateral Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made.

Further, assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted, or other Shares issued, and the maximum number of Placement Shares as set out above are issued, in the event all the Placement Options issued pursuant to this Resolution were exercised the number of Shares on issue would increase to 705,490,866 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 28.68%.

Each of the Company’s Directors wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement ( Director Participation ), as set out in Section 5.1 above, for an aggregate of up to 30,000,000 Shares ( Director Participation Shares ) and up to 15,000,000 quoted Options ( Director Participation Options ). This is in addition to the Placement and the Company will raise up to a further $1,050,000 from the Director Participation.

Accordingly:

  • (a) Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 10,000,000 Director Participation Shares and up to 5,000,000 Director Participation Options to Anoosh Manzoori (or his nominee);

  • (b) Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up 10,000,000 Director Participation Shares and up to 5,000,000 Director Participation Options to Athan Lekkas (or his nominee); and

  • (c) Resolution 15 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 10,000,000 Director Participation Shares and up to 5,000,000 Director Participation Options to Matthew Latimore (or his nominee),

(together, the Director Participation Securities ) as a result of the Director Participation on the terms set out below.

7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Director Participation will result in the issue of the Director Participation Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Anoosh Manzoori, Athan Lekkas and Matthew Latimore, are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Director Participation Securities will be issued on the same terms as the Placement Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

22

7.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

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

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

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

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

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 13 to 15 seek the required Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 13 to 15 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Securities under the Director Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Participation Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Participation Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 13 to 15 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Participation Securities under the Director Participation and the additional Placement funds will not be raised.

7.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

The Company and Neil Goodman have entered into an executive services agreement ( CEO Services Agreement ) pursuant to which the Company will issue 25,000,000 Performance Rights to Neil Goodman (or his nominee), to incentivise and align his interests with that of the Company’s shareholders ( CEO Performance Rights ).

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders

26

over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the CEO Performance Rights does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 17 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the CEO Performance Rights. In addition, the issue of the CEO Performance Rights will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 17 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the CEO Performance Rights.

Resolution 17 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the CEO Performance Rights.

11. RESOLUTIONS 20-22 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

11.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 30,000,000 quoted Options to the Directors of the Company (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below ( Director Options ).

Accordingly:

  • (a) Resolution 20 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 12,500,000 Director Options to Anoosh Manzoori (or his nominee);

  • (b) Resolution 21 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 12,500,000 Director Options to Athan Lekkas (or his nominee); and

  • (c) Resolution 22 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 5,000,000 Director Options to Matthew Latimore (or his nominee).

11.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 7.2 above.

The issue of Director Options to the Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Directors is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

29

As the Director Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Director Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Options to the Directors is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

11.3 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 7.3 above.

The issue of Director Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 20 to 22 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

11.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 20 to 22 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to the Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 20 to 22 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options.

11.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 20 to 22:

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued to the Directors (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 30,000,000 comprising:

  • (i) 12,500,000 Director Options to Anoosh Manzoori (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 20;

30

  • (ii) 12,500,000 Director Options to Athan Lekkas (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 21; and

  • (e) the issue price of the Director Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Director Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Director Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Directors to align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Directors in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Directors, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Directors;

  • (g) the number of Director Options to be issued to each of the Directors has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  • (ii) the remuneration of the Directors; and

  • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (h) the Director Options to be issued are intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors. The total remuneration package for each of the Directors for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

31

Director Current

Anoosh Manzoori $240,000 Nil

  • (k) the relevant interests of the Directors in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:

Anoosh Manzoori 2,811,2452 6,250,0003 Nil

  2. Indirectly held by Shape Capital Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Manzoori.

  3. All Options are indirectly held by Shape Capital Pty Ltd, comprising:

  4. (a) 6,000,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 19 April 2024; and

  6. Unquoted Options exercisable at $0.25 each on or before 20 July 2024.

(l) if the Director Options issued to the Directors are exercised, a total of 30,000,000 Shares would be issued.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 20 to 22 of this Notice; and
