The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum (which forms part of the Notice of Meeting) in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum or the Notice of Meeting, please contact your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
Terms used in this Notice of Meeting have defined meanings which are explained in the Glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.
BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3
On 20 April 2021, the Company announced that it had closed a pro-rata renounceable rights issue to eligible shareholders of 1 new Share for every 10 Shares held at an issue price of $0.08 per new Share to raise approximately $2,169,173 before costs, together with 1 attaching Option for every 2 new Shares issued exercisable at $0.17 each on or before 30 April 2023 ( Rights Issue ). The Rights Issue was partially underwritten to the amount of $1,500,000 by Mahe Capital Pty Ltd who acted as lead manager and underwriter to the Rights Issue ( Underwriter ).
The Rights Issue was oversubscribed and the Company agreed to undertake a placement to raise an additional $1,240,000 from institutional and professional investors on the same terms and conditions of the Rights Issue ( Follow-on Placement ). The Company lodged a supplementary prospectus on 20 April 2021 which provided details of the Follow-on Placement.
The Follow-on Placement comprised the following:
-
the issue of 15,500,000 fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.08 each pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to participants in the Followon Placement;
-
the issue of 7,750,000 Options exercisable at $0.17 each on or before 30 April 2023 pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to participants in the Follow-on Placement; and
-
the issue of 2,480,000 Options exercisable at $0.17 each on or before 30 April 2023 pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the Underwriter under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – Ratification of Issue of 15,500,000 Shares
On 23 April 2021, the Company issued 15,500,000 Shares under the Follow-on Placement ( Follow-on Placement Share Issue ) without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Follow-on Placement Share Issue.
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
10
represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, without Shareholder approval.
The Follow-on Placement Share Issue 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 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve and ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. 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 1, 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 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Follow-on Placement Share Issue.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Follow-on Placement Share Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in 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 1 is not passed, the Follow-on Placement Share Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 1:
-
(a) 15,500,000 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued;
-
(b) the Shares were issued on 23 April 2021 at an issue price of $0.08 per Share, raising approximately $1,240,000 before costs;
-
(c) the Shares were issued to various institutional and professional investors, none of whom are Related Parties of the Company;
-
(d) the funds raised from the Follow-on Placement were used to conduct an exploration drilling program at Devon focussing on LIN1 and Hill East, winding down of operations at Red October and recommence underground exploration with the focus on increasing the mines’ gold resources;
-
(e) the Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – Ratification of Issue of 7,750,000 Options
On 23 April 2021, the Company issued 7,750,000 Options exercisable at $0.17 each on or before 30 April 2023 under the Follow-on Placement ( Follow-on Placement Option Issue ) without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
11
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Follow-on Placement Option Issue.
Listing Rule requirements
Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
The Follow-on Placement Option 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 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.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Follow-on Placement Option Issue.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Follow-on Placement Option Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in 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 2 is not passed, the Follow-on Placement Option Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 2:
-
(a) 7,750,000 Options were issued;

-
(d)
-
the Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – Ratification of Issue of 2,480,000 Options

12
-
(b) Mahe Capital will have the sole right to determine the allocation of any shortfall, including any applications by shareholders for additional shares;
-
(c) in consideration for provision of its services, the Company agreed to issue Mahe Capital (or its nominee), amongst other things, 2 Options for every one dollar raised.
The Company raised $1,240,000 under the Follow-on Placement. Accordingly, on 23 April 2021, the Company issued 2,480,000 Options exercisable at $0.17 each on or before 30 April 2023 the subject of the Follow-on Placement to Mahe Capital ( Follow-on Placement Underwriter Issue ) without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Follow-on Placement Underwriter 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 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.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Follow-on Placement Underwriter Issue.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Follow-on Placement Underwriter Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in 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.

The total consideration via the issue of shares for the drilling services provided was $164,000 before costs.
The Company issued the 2,050,000 Shares the subject of the Drilling Services Consideration without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on 14 May 2021.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 2,050,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the Drilling Services Consideration.
Listing Rule requirements
Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 and provided in Section 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
The issue pursuant to the Drilling Services Consideration does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2, 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.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 2,050,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the Drilling Services Consideration.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Drilling Services Consideration will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in 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 4 is not passed, the Drilling Services Consideration will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – Ratification of Issue of 150,000 Shares
Background
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 ( Repayment Extension Agreement ).
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 was 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 second Facility Fee without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Facility Fee Issue ).
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Facility Fee Issue.
Listing Rule requirements
Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
The Facility Fee Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 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.
By ratifying the Facility Fee Issue the subject of Resolution 5, 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 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the
15
Facility Fee Issue.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Facility Fee Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the second Facility Fee issue date.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Facility Fee Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Facility Fee Issue date.
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 5:
-
(a) 150,000 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued;
-
(b) the Shares were issued on 4 June 2021 at an issue price of $0.08 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares were issued in equal amounts to the Lenders. The lenders are not Related Parties 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) no cash consideration was received for the issue;
-
(f) the Facility Fee Issue was provided as partial consideration for the Lenders extending the repayment date of the Loan to 31 July 2022 under the Repayment Extension Agreement;
-
(g) a summary of the material terms of the Repayment Extension Agreement is provided above; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
-
All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

To this end, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the LR 7.1 Share Issue.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the LR 7.1 Share Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the July Capital Raising Issue Date.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the LR 7.1 Share Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the July Capital Raising Issue Date.

On 13 July 2021 the Company announced the completion of the July Capital Raising, the details of which are described in Section 6 of this Explanatory Memorandum above.
In addition to the LR 7.1 Share Issue, the Company also issued 29,720,828 Shares the subject of the July Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020, being the LR 7.1A Share Issue.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the LR 7.1A Share Issue.
Listing Rule requirements
Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum above. A summary of Listing Rule 7.1A is provided below.
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 operates in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval extending the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020.
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 $24.35M as at 29 July 2021 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.
By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 7, the base figure (i.e. variable “A” as defined in Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
To this end, Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the LR 7.1A Share Issue.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the LR 7.1A Share Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit (or 25% limit) in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the July Capital Raising Issue Date.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the LR 7.1A Share Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit (or 25% limit) in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of
18
Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the July Capital Raising Issue Date.
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 7:
-
(a) 29,720,828 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued;
-
(b) the Shares were issued on 22 July 2021 at an issue price of $0.08 per Share raising approximately $2,377,666;
-

Listing Rule requirements
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 21,095,941 Options with an exercise price of $0.17 each and an expiry date of 30 April 2023, for nil cash consideration to various institutional and sophisticated investors under the July Capital Raising on the basis of 1 Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for and issued ( Option Placement ).
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.

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
This form shows 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.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
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.
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.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. 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 any 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 permitted by law. 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 he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chairman may vote as he sees 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 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:
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.
