On 20 April 2018, the Company entered into a fundraising agreement with Chinsiro Pty Ltd (AFSL: 497 051) ( Lead Manager ) for the purposes of recapitalising the Company with independent new professional and sophisticated investors ( Fundraising Agreement ).

Key terms of the Fundraising Agreement include:

  • (a) the Lead Manager will, on a best endeavours basis, assist the Company in raising up to $1,250,000 through convertible loan notes to one or more investors who are not related parties of the Company and who are exempt investors (who do not require a disclosure document) under section 708(8) and 708(1) of the Corporations Act ( Loan Notes );

  • (b) subject to and conditional upon the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals, the Loan Notes will convert into Shares in the Company at $0.00025 per Share with one (1) free attaching option (exercise price $0.0015 per option, expiry 31 December 2023) for every Share issued;

  • (c) interest will accrue on the value of the Loan Note at 5% per annum (compounding daily) and will be converted into Shares and free attaching options as per paragraph (b) above;

  • (d) the term of the Loan Notes will be twelve months from the date of the Loan Note deed unless otherwise agreed by the noteholder and the Company.

  • (e) In consideration for the services provided by the Lead Manager under the Fundraising Agreement, the Company will pay the Lead Manager the following:

  • (i) $10,000 (exclusive of GST) within two business days of the Company receiving cleared funds under the Loan Notes;

  • (ii) 6% of the total funds received by the Company under the Loan Notes payable in Options (with an issue price of $0.0001 per Option and otherwise on the same terms as the Options issued under the Loan Notes in Schedule 3). For the avoidance of doubt, based on full subscription of $1.25 million being drawn down by the Company under the Loan Notes, the Company will issue up to 750,000,000 Options to the Lead Manager (and or its nominee) ( Lead Manager Options ).

On 30 April 2018 the Company announced that, with the assistance of the Lead Manager, the Company had successfully obtained full subscription of $1,250,000 under the Loan Notes.

8.2 Terms of Loan Notes

The key terms of the Loan Notes are as follows:

  • (a) the Loan Notes are unsecured and repayable within twelve (12) months of being entered into on 19 April 2018 ( Loan Date ), being a repayment date of 19 April 2019 ( Repayment Date );

16

Doc ID 450163693/v2

  • (b) the aggregate principal sum advanced under the Loan Notes is $1,250,000, as follows:
Noteholder Principal Sum Number of Shares Number of Options
Noteholders $1,250,000 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000
Total $1,250,000 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000

1 Plus any Shares and Options issued on conversion of any Interest payable, see paragraph (h) below.

  • (c) each Loan Note and, where applicable, any accrued interest will convert into Shares at the conversion price of $0.00025 per Share ( Conversion Price ) with a one for one free attaching Option (exercise price of $0.0015 per Option, expiry 30 June 2023);

  • (d) subject to Shareholder approval under this Resolutions 7-8 (inclusive), the Noteholders (or their nominees) will be entitled (but not obligated) to convert all or a portion of the Loan Notes into Shares (and free attaching Options) by delivering a conversion notice to the Company at any time prior to 5.00pm on the Repayment Date and the Company must issue the Shares (and free attaching Options) on conversion as soon as reasonably practicable after obtaining all the necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals;

  • (e) the Loan Notes may otherwise be repaid in cash or converted in whole or part, as agreed by the Company and the Noteholder;

  • (f) the Loan Notes are transferable with the prior written consent of the Company;

  • (g) interest on the amount advanced under the Loan Notes accrues at the rate of 5% per annum (compounding daily) and is repayable on the Repayment Date unless converted into Shares (and free attaching Options) at the election of the Company ( Interest ). At the election of the Company, the Interest is convertible into Shares at the Conversion Price (and free attaching Options). Accordingly, the number of Shares (and free attaching Options) to be issued on conversion of the Interest will be equal to the total amount of Interest payable divided by the Conversion Price;

  • (h) the table below sets out the indicative number of Shares (and free attaching Options) which the Noteholders may be issued in the Company (on the basis of the assumptions set out in that table) if the Loan Notes are converted into Shares, and Interest payments are made by the issuing of Shares. The Company anticipates that the Noteholders will give notice to convert the Loan Notes (and all accrued Interest) soon after the Company obtains the necessary Shareholder approvals. Accordingly, the table below assumes that the Loan Notes are not converted or repaid until the date that is 3 months after the Meeting date (estimate of 15 October 2018 at the time this Notice was prepared) and that the Noteholders elect to receive all Interest accruing by way of the issue of Shares (and free attaching Options) (accrued up to 15 October 2018). The actual number of Shares (and free attaching Options) may vary from that indicated below, based on the application of the terms of the Loan Notes and the amount of Interest payable at the time of the Noteholders’ election to convert:

Noteholder Maximum amount of Interest
payable (based on Interest
accrued from the Loan Date
to 15 October 2018 being an
estimate of the latest possible
date the Shares could be
issued under Resolution 8 of
this Notice)

1 Which is in addition to the Shares and Options issued on conversion of the Loan Note principal sum, see paragraph (b) above.

(i) the Noteholder has provided a number of warranties and representations in favour of the Company which are commonly agreed in unsecured loan notes of this nature;

17

Doc ID 450163693/v2

  • (j) the Company has provided a number of warranties and representations in favour of the Noteholder which are commonly agreed in unsecured loan notes of this nature.

8.3 Listing Rule Requirements for Resolutions 7 and 8

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 5,000,000,000 Shares upon conversion of the Loan Notes at a conversion price of $0.00025 per Share ( Conversion Shares ) with one (1) free attaching option (exercise price of $0.0015 per option, expiry 31 December 2023) ( Conversion Options ).

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to issue up to 116,394,721 Shares ( Interest Shares ) and up to 116,394,721 free attaching Options ( Interest Options ) to the holders of the Loan Notes in lieu of Interest payments under the Loan Notes.

Approval of Resolutions 7-8 (inclusive) will have the effect of being excluded from calculations of the Company’s 15% share issue facility limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of the Shareholders of the Company is required for an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The issue of Conversion Shares, Conversion Options, Interest Shares and Interest Options outlined in Resolutions 7 and 8 exceeds the 15% limit, however, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that, where a company in a general meeting ratifies an issue of equity securities the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1), thereby enabling the company to issue further equity securities without exceeding the 15% in 12 months limitation.

Shareholder approval under Resolutions 7 and 8 is sought for the future issue of the Conversion Shares, Conversion Options, Interest Shares and Interest Options so as to refresh the Company’s 15% equity security placement limit pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rules

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Conversion Shares and Interest Shares to the Noteholders under Resolutions 7-8:

  • (g) there will be no funds raised upon issue of the Conversion Shares or Interest Shares. As announced by the Company on 20 April 2018, the funds raised by the Loan Notes will be utilised by the Company towards: (i) repayment of existing exploration creditors, corporate creditors and paying costs of the recent court hearing; and (b) exploration of the Company’s existing assets, working capital in respect of the Company’s existing activities.

10. RESOLUTION 10 – PROPOSED ISSUE OF SHARES TO DG RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LTD

On 30 March 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding heads of agreement ( Heads of Agreement ) to acquire 100% of the issued shares of private company Nevada Metals Pty Ltd ( Nevada Metals ) from the shareholders of Nevada Metals (full terms of the acquisition and the Heads of Agreement were announced by the Company on 30 March 2016).

Separately, pursuant to a binding heads of agreement ( Mining Claims Acquisition HOA ), Nevada Metals conditionally agreed to that it or a wholly owned US domiciled subsidiary of Nevada Metals will acquire the ‘Lida’ ( Lida Valley Project ) and ‘Muddy’ ( Muddy Mountain Project ) mining claims in Nevada, USA ( Nevada Mining Claims ) from Arizona Lithium Company Ltd who hots the Nevada Mining Claims on trust for DG Resources Management Ltd (Alberta Corporate Access Number 20762137) ( DGRM ) ( Mining Claims Acquisition ). The Company was also a party to the Mining Claims Acquisition Agreement.

19

Doc ID 450163693/v2

Both the Nevada Metals Heads of Agreement and the DGRM Mining Claims Acquisition will be completed after the issue of the Securities pursuant to this Resolution. To date the Company has issued the relevant consideration securities required at the time under both agreements.

The remaining obligations on the Company contained in the agreements will be at an end after the Company issues the “Deferred Consideration” under the Mining Claims Acquisition, being a total of 200,000,000 Shares ( Deferred Consideration Shares ) made up of the following components:

  • (a) in consideration for the Lida Valley Project: 75,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.001 each on the date that is 24 months after the date the original shareholder approvals were obtained; and

  • (b) in consideration for the Muddy Mountain Project: 125,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.001 each on the date that is 24 months after the date the original shareholder approvals were obtained.

However, as a result of the view of the Board (at the time) on the Lida Valley Project and the Muddy Mountain Project, as announced on 19 September 2017 the Board at the time decided it was in the Company’s best interest to relinquish the Projects to focus the Company’s exploration efforts on the high-potential basins within the area North of Clayton Valley and Columbus Marsh.

In an effort to try and extinguish all remaining contractual obligations previously entered into by the Company (which remain outstanding), as announced on 21 May 2018, the Company was able to renegotiate its contractual obligations in respect of the Deferred Consideration to the reduced total amount of 160,000,000 Shares. Accordingly, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 160,000,000 Shares to DGRM (and/or its nominees) pursuant to the outstanding contractual obligations under the Mining Claims Acquisition which was entered into by the previous Board.

Resolution 10 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue a total of 160,000,000 Shares to DG Resources Management Ltd, being the remaining “Deferred Consideration Shares” required to be issued, pursuant to the Mining Claims Acquisition Agreement.

As noted above, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, 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 securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the revised Deferred Consideration Shares to DGRM (and or its nominees) pursuant to the amended Mining Claims Acquisition Agreement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or such later date as may be permitted by an ASX waiver of the Listing Rules), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares to DGRM (and or its nominees):

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

Your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not vote on a poll in accordance with your directions or does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote the proxies as directed.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM

Individual:

Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.

Joint Holding:

Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.

Power of Attorney:

If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies:

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each Resolution. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on a Resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given Resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are able. If you mark more than one box on a Resolution, your vote on that Resolution will be invalid.

PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a Resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that Resolution), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as they see fit on that Resolution.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

  • (b) Return both forms together.

Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

LODGE YOUR VOTE

This Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 5:00 PM (AWST) on 10 July 2018, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy Forms received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
