E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
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. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 6
1.1 General
As announced on 9 December 2024, the Company has received firm commitments to raise $850,000 (before costs) through a placement of 85,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 ( Placement ).
The Placement was structured into two tranches as follows:
-
(a) Tranche 1 – 46,875,000 Shares issued to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Participants ) on 16 December 2024, comprising 28,212,341 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and the remaining 18,662,659 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A) (being the subject of Resolution 2); and
-
(b) Tranche 2 – 38,125,000 Shares to be issued subject to Shareholder approval, comprising 28,125,000 Shares to Placement Participants (being the subject of Resolution 3) and an aggregate of 10,000,000 to be issued to Directors, Felicity Repacholi, Vikram Kumar and Simon Andrew (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as other Placement Participants (being the subject of Resolutions 4-6).
The purpose of the Placement was to raise funds to be utilised to advance exploration at the Company’s Western Australian projects, to assess new opportunities, and for working capital purposes.
1.2 Lead Manager
The Company engaged Yelverton Capital Pty Ltd ( Yelverton ) to act as lead manager to the Placement and provide corporate advisory services pursuant to a lead manager mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ). Pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the following fees to Yelverton:
-
(a) a monthly retainer of $6,050 (plus GST); and
-
(b) a total of 6,000,000 Options to Yelverton (or its nominee/s) exercisable at $0.02 each on or before 3 years from the date of issue ( Yelverton Options ) (the subject of Resolution 8).
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT
2.1 General
As detailed in Section 1.1, these Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the ratification of 28,212,341 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 18,662,659 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2024.
The issue 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities
5
without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 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 the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

| Number and class of Securities issued |
46,875,000 Shares were issued on the following basis: (a) 28,212,341 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and (b) 18,662,659 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). |
| Terms of Securities | The Shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue 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.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and the Company will not raise any further funds under the Placement.

$0.01 per Share to raise up to $281,250. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO THE DIRECTORS UNDER THE PLACEMENT
4.1 General
As detailed in Section 1.1, Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominee(s)) as follows:
(a) up to 1,000,000 Shares to Felicity Repacholi (or her nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 4);
-
(b) up to 7,000,000 Shares to Vikram Kumar (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 5); and
-
(c) up to 2,000,000 Participation Shares to Simon Andrew (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 6),
to enable their participation in the Placement activities on the same terms as unrelated participants.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Directors, Felicity Repacholi, Vikram Kumar and Simon Andrew are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Felicity Repacholi who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Shares will be issued to Felicity Repacholi (or her nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Vikram Kumar who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Shares will be issued to Vikram Kumar (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Simon Andrew who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Placement Shares will be issued to Simon Andrew (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 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;
8
-
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 issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issues 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 3.3. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issues and no funds will be raised in respect of the Shares that would have otherwise been issued to the Directors.

-
