1. Resolution 1 and 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares

1.1 Background

As announced by the Company to ASX on 12 August 2024, the Company undertook a placement of 100,000,000 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.05 per Share ( Placement ) ( Placement Shares ).

On 16 August 2024, a total of 32,550,691 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s placement capacity afforded under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 32,550,691 Placement Shares.

On 16 August 2024, a total of 30,768,415 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s placement capacity afforded Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 30,768,415 Placement Shares.

Resolutions 3 and 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the balance of the Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Canaccord ) acted as Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement. Please refer to Resolution 4 regarding the grant of Broker Options to Canaccord (or its nominees) in part consideration of the services rendered by Canaccord in relation to the Placement.

1.2 Resolution 1 – Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 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.

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 the 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.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Page 9 of 22

1.3 Resolution 2 – Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

(a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A or 12-months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the base figure (i.e. variable “A”) 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.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the relevant Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the relevant Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the relevant Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the relevant Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

1.6 Additional Information

Page 11 of 22

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

2. Resolution 3 – Tranche 2 Placement Shares

2.1 General

Reference is made to Placement referred to in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 34,168,214 Tranche 2 Shares at an issue price of $0.05 per Share to unrelated parties.

The issue of the balance of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, which will be issued to related parties of the Company, is the subject of the Shareholder approvals under Resolutions 5 to 7.

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the Shares which will enable the Company to raise up to $1,708,411. In addition, the Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Shares will dilute existing Shareholders (assuming they are not participating) by approximately 9.2%.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares and the Company will not be able to access the funds that were to be raised under the Share issue. This will impact on the Company’s planned activities which will need to be scaled back unless alternative funding can be arranged.

To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Shares for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to pay that component of the fees payable to Canaccord for the services and may have to negotiate an alternative payment method which would likely involve cash payments and reduce the Company’s cash reserves to the extent of the payment.

To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed grant of the Broker Options for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Page 14 of 22

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) The Broker Options will be issued to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (or its nominees). In accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the grantees will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisors of the Company or any associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (b) the number of Broker Options that will be issued is up to 4,000,000 Options and the Broker Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Broker Options will be granted no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that grant of the Broker Options will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Broker Options are being issued in consideration of services rendered by Canaccord;

  • (e)

  • no funds will be raised from the issue of the Broker Options; and

  • (f) the Broker Options will be issued under a Lead Manager Mandate letter agreement dated 5 August 2024 under which Canaccord was appointed Lead Manager and Bookrunner for the placement, the material terms of which include:

  • (i) fees comprising:

    • (A) a management fee equal to 2% of gross proceeds;

    • (B) a selling fee equal to 4% of gross proceeds (which is not payable on shares issues to Alkane Resources Limited and certain existing shareholders of the Company);

3.5 Additional Information

4. Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 – Issue of Shares to Directors

  • 4.1 General

Page 15 of 22

Reference is made to Placement referred to in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

The Directors wish to participate in the Placement and according:

  • (a) Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 241,876 Shares to Mr John Fitzgerald (or his nominee) under the Placement;

  • (b) Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 2,170,801 Shares to Mr Paul Bennett (or his nominee) under the Placement; and

  • (c) Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 100,003 Shares to Mr Anthony James (or his nominee) under the Placement,

( Participation ).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Fitzgerald, Bennett and James are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. If any of their nominee’s receive the Shares the nominees will be related parties also by virtue of each being associates of the relevant Director.

As the Participation includes all Directors (or their nominees), the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions in Section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of Placement Shares under the Participation. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares to the Related Parties under the Participation is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.3 Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director who has a “material personal interest” in a matter being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered or vote on the matter.

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are insufficient directors to form a quorum at a directors’ meeting because of section 195(1), the directors may call a Meeting of shareholders to consider the matter.

The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider any matters relating to the proposed issue of Placement Shares under Resolutions 5 to 7, as Messrs Fitzgerald, Bennett and James being all of the Directors of the Company, have a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions.

Therefore, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the

Page 16 of 22

Corporations Act to deal with the matter.

4.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, equity securities to any of the following:

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.

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 sit on 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 any of the above.

10.11.5 A person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to above is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

Messrs Fitzgerald, Bennett and James meets the category under Listing Rule 10.11.1 because they are Directors. If any of their nominee’s receive the Shares the nominees will meet the category under Listing Rule 10.11.4 as they will be an associate of the relevant director.

The Company considers that none of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 apply.

4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If any of Resolutions 5 to 7 are passed, the relevant Director (or their nominee) (as relevant) will be able to participate in the Placement and the Company will benefit from the additional funds raised.
