Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that

  • way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution –

  • the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting ( Notice of Meeting ) of Matsa Resources Limited ( Company ).

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 accountant, solicitor 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.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – Ratification of Prior Issue of 82,363,105 New Shares

  • 1.1 On 30 January 2025, the Company announced that it was conducting a share placement to three corporate investors to raise approximately $3.13 million (before costs) under a placement of fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.038 per Share ( New Share ) ( Placement ). The Placement was not underwritten.

On 31 January 2025, 82,363,105 New Shares were issued, raising $3,129,798 (before costs). These New Shares were issued under the Company’s allowable placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and rank equally with existing Shares on issue. The Company is seeking Shareholder ratification of the issue of the New Shares under Resolution 1.

The issue of the New Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and was not subject to prior Shareholder approval. The issue of the New Shares utilised the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue of the New Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

Under Resolution 1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the New Shares under the Placement pursuant to and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 should the need arise.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 82,363,105 Shares referred to above, being the Placement.

1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 7.4 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 issue of the New Shares under the Placement 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 the 15% limit in Listing Rules 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 of the New Shares under the Placement.

7

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future of 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 and ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 82,363,105 Shares referred to above pursuant to the Placement.

1.3 Effect of Resolution 1

If Resolution 1 is passed, the ratification will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the ratification will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

1.4 Technical Information required under Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the New Shares issued under the Placement were issued to three corporate investors, being WACC Pty Ltd ATF Flagship Fund ( Flagship ), Patronus Resources Limited (ASX:PTN) ( Patronus ) and Bulletin Resources Limited (ASX:BNR) ( Bulletin ) none of whom are related parties of the Company. These participants were identified by the Directors;

  • (a) the total number of Shares issued was 82,363,105. Flagship was issued 56,241,460 Shares, Patronus was issued 16,121,645 Shares and Bulletin was issued 10,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) 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;

  • (c) the Shares were issued on 31 January 2025;

  • (d) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.038 per Share under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the New Shares under the Placement the subject of Resolution 1;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the New Shares under the Placement was to fast-track the commencement of development and mining and to finalise all works necessary to commence mining at the Devon Pit Gold Mine and working capital;

  • (f) the New Shares under the Placement the subject of Resolution 1 were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 1 is included in the Notice of Meeting.

1.5 Directors’ Recommendation

All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – Ratification of Prior Issue of 15,000,000 Options – Listing Rule 7.1

2.1 General

On 30 January 2025 the Company announced a Placement, the details of which are described in Section 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum above. Corsair Corporate Pty Ltd ( Corsair ) acted as lead manager to the Placement. A component of the fee that Corsair received for their role

8

as lead manager to the Placement is that it was issued with 15,000,000 Options.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 15,000,000 Options referred to above.

2.2 Listing Rule Requirements

Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 1.2 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.

The issue of the Options 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 Rules 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 of the Options.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future of 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 2 seeks Shareholder approval and ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 15,000,000 Options referred to above.

2.3 Effect of Resolution 2

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Options issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Options issue date.

2.4 Technical Information required under Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) 15,000,000 Options were issued;

  • (b) the Options were issued on 31 January 2025 at a nil issue price;

  • (c) no cash consideration was received for the issue;

  • (d) the Options were issued as part of the fee paid to Corsair for acting as lead manager to the Placement. Corsair received a management fee of $20,000 and a 6% fee on the amount raised;

  • (e) the Options were issued to Corsair Corporate Pty Ltd (or their nominee) who is not a related party of the Company;

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

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 2 is included in the Notice of Meeting.

2.5 Directors’ Recommendation

3.1 General

In August 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a loan facility with

9

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 of the Lenders 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. The Loan repayment date was then extended to 30 November 2022.

On 2 December 2022, the Company advised that it had entered into a new loan agreement with Morkim Pty Ltd as Trustee for Kim Morrison Family Trust and Nitro Super Pty Ltd as Trustee for Nitro Super Fund (related parties of the same above Lenders) for a total of $4 million with a repayment date of 30 November 2025. The terms of the new Loan, other than the repayment date, are the same as the previous loan. The terms of the Loan also include an interest rate of 12% per annum payable monthly in arrears, and a charge over all property of the Company by way of a general security agreement and a mortgage over the Fortitude Gold Project tenements. This general security agreement contains terms and conditions which are standard for an agreement of this type. The fee for the Lenders entering into the new Loan agreement is that the Company has agreed to pay the Lenders an annual facility fee of 150,000 fully paid ordinary Shares for every year or part year that the Loan remains outstanding ( Facility Fee ). The annual Facility Fee was issued on 20 January 2025. 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 annual Facility Fee without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 150,000 Shares referred to above, being the annual Facility Fee.

3.2 Listing Rules Requirements

Summaries of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 are provided in Section 1.2 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.

The issue of the annual Facility Fee 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 Rules 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 of the annual Facility Fee.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future of 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 3 seeks Shareholder approval and ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 150,000 Shares referred to above pursuant to the annual Facility Fee.

3.3 Effect of Resolution 3

If Resolution 3 is passed, the ratification will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the annual Facility Fee issue date.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the ratification will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the annual Facility Fee issue date.
