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. RESOLUTIONS 1 & 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES TO RELATED PARTIES
1.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue:
(a) 1,400,000 Options to Francis Harper (or their nominee(s)); and
- (b) 1,200,000 Options to Travis Schwertfeger (or their nominee(s)),
on the terms and conditions set out below.
Further details in respect of the Securities proposed to be issued are set out in the table below.
| CLASS | QUANTUM | RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | EXERCISE |
EXPIRY DATE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRICE | |||||
| Tranche 1 | 700,000 | Francis Harper (or their nominee(s)) |

1.2 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 Francis Harper and Travis Schwertfeger are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Francis Harper and Travis Schwertfeger who have a material personal interest in the Resolutions) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Francis Harper and Travis Schwertfeger, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
1.3 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;
5
-
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 issue 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.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue 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 (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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and may be required to remunerate Francis Harper and Travis Schwertfeger in another way.

-
(b) 300,000 Performance Rights,
to Mohamed Niaré (or their nominee(s)).

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 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 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 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 the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue 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 the issue.
2.5
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |
Mohamed Niaré (or their nominee(s)). The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
500,000 Options 300,000 Performance Rights |
| Terms of Securities | The Options were on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. The Performance Rights were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. |
8
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Date(s) on which the Securities were issued |
20 January 2025. |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Securities were issued at a nil issue price. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue was to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mohamed Niaré to motivate and reward their performance as Tenement Manager and to provide cost effective remuneration to Mohamed Niaré, enabling 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 Mohamed Niaré. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Securities were not being issued under an agreement. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
