In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Company's Auditors in relation to the accounts of the Company at the Annual General Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
1.1 General
Section 250R(2) of 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 directors or 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 the 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.
1.2 Voting Consequences
Under Part 2G.2 Division 9 of the Corporations Act, 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 two 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 a vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to a vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
10
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 previous 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.
1.3 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 required for this Annual General Meeting.
1.4 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
- If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:
You must direct the proxy how they are to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
- If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you are taken to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel . The Chair intends to exercise such proxies in favour of this Resolution.
- If you appoint any other person as your proxy:
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – Re-Election of Mr Andrew Chapman as a Director
Clause 11.3 of the Company's Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, onethird of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, must retire from office, provided always that no Director (except the Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at any annual general meeting are those who have been in office longest since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
11
A retiring director under clause 11.4 of the Company’s Constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has three directors and accordingly one must retire.
Mr Chapman, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation at this Meeting. Mr Chapman, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Mr Chapman is a chartered accountant with over 20 years’ experience with publicly listed companies where he has held positions as Director, Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and has experience in the areas of corporate acquisitions, divestments and capital raisings. Since 1993 he has worked for a number of public companies in the mineral resources, oil and gas and technology sectors.
Mr Chapman is an associate member of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ), a Fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia) and a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD).
Mr Chapman is also the Company Secretary of Bulletin Resources Limited.
All of the Directors, except Mr Chapman who has abstained from making a recommendation, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – Ratification of Issue of 10,000,000 Shares
On 2 March 2020 the Company announced it was undertaking a capital raising via a placement to a new institutional investor, being Deutsche Balaton AG, issuing 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.155 each ( March Capital Raising ). The total consideration received from the March Capital Raising was $1.55 million before costs.
The Company issued the 10,000,000 Shares the subject of the March Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on 5 March 2020.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 10,000,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the March Capital Raising ( First Ratification ).
Listing Rule requirements
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, without Shareholder approval.
The issue pursuant to the March Capital Raising does not fit within any of these exceptions 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, 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.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that then previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1. If Shareholders do ratify the issue, 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. By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual
12
placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 10,000,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the March Capital Raising ( First Ratification ).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the First Ratification will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit (or 25% limit if Resolution 9 is passed) in Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the First Ratification will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit (or 25% limit if Resolution 9 is passed), effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
Information required under Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued;
-
(b) the Shares were issued on 5 March 2020 at an issue price of $0.155 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares were issued to a single institutional investor, Deutsche Balaton AG, who is not a Related Party of the Company;
-
(d) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(e) the funds raised from the March Capital Raising were to increase the production capacity and efficiency at Red October underground mine and to further exploration drilling within the mine; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – Ratification of Issue of 150,000 Shares
In August 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a loan facility with Goldbondsuper Pty Ltd as Trustee for Goldbondsuperone and Robert Paul Martin and Susan Pamela Martin as Trustees for Nitro Super Fund ( Lenders ) for a total of $4 million, with each Lender loaning the Company $2 million each ( Loan ).
On 4 June 2020 the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with the Lenders, whereby the Loan repayment date was extended for two years to 31 July 2022.
In exchange for the Lenders extending the repayment date Matsa agreed to pay each of the Lenders an annual facility fee of 150,000 fully paid ordinary Shares for every year or part year that the Loans remain outstanding ( Facility Fee ). The first Facility Fee was issued on 5 June 2020 and the second Facility Fee is expected to be issued on or about 1 June 2021. The Company will update the market with respect to the Loan and any subsequent Facility Fees, in compliance with its disclosure obligations as required.
The Company issued the 150,000 Shares the subject of the first Facility Fee without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
13
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 150,000 Shares referred to above, being the first Facility Fee.
Listing Rule requirements
Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 3 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 150,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the first Facility Fee ( Second Ratification ).
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Second Ratification will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit (or 25% limit if Resolution 9 is passed) in Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the first Facility Fee issue date.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Second Ratification will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit (or 25% limit if Resolution 9 is passed), effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the first Facility Fee issue date.
Information required under Listing Rule 7.4

9. RESOLUTION 9 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
9.1 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.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements without shareholder approval over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity with a market capitalisation of $37.96M as at 5 October 2020 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special Resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility pursuant to Resolution 9.
The maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 9.2(c) of the Explanatory Memorandum below).
The Company intends to use any funds raised under the 10% Placement Facility towards further exploration on the Lake Carey project aimed at increasing the Company’s resource base, continued development at the Red October gold project, and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in future, choose to evaluate new investments and may use the funds raised for acquisitions (including expenses associated with such acquisitions).
If Resolution 9 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 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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
Resolution 9 is a special Resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
9.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special Resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company and issued for a cash consideration per securities which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
20
-
(i) The date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(ii) Of the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
-
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue:
-
(i) 271,146,709 fully paid ordinary Shares; and
-
(ii) 25,600,000 unlisted Options.
The Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares.
- (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the period of the approval, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,
-
(b) 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:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period: or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
-
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4
-
-
(d) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
-
(e) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;
-
(f) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period.
Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
Relevant Period means:
- (a) if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or
21
- (b) the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
- The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 9.2(c) of the Explanatory Memorandum above).
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
9.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A commences from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) ( 10% Placement Period )
-
(b) The Equity Securities will be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades were recorded in that class immediately before: (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, there is a risk that the economic value and voting power of each Share in the Company may be diluted, including a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of approval of this Resolution at the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.
The below table shows the possible dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice (with numbers rounded to the nearest whole number). This assumes the Company has its full capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1A and Resolution 9 is passed at the Annual General Meeting.
22
The formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is outlined in Section 9.2(c) of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
The table also shows:
-
(a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company currently has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(b) two examples of where the issue price of Equity Securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Note: The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Equity Securities. 3. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. 7. The issue price is $0.14, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2020.
-
(c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration towards further exploration on the Lake Carey project aimed at increasing the Company’s resource base, continued development at the Red October gold project, and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in future, choose to evaluate new investments
23
and may use the funds raised for acquisitions (including expenses associated with such acquisitions).
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
