Whilst employed by FNX Mining Ltd as a geologist for special projects, Ms Ramnath was directly involved with exploration of Midrim and La Force, undertaking various technical activities on the Company’s assets including drill program supervision.

Resolution 4 – Ratification of Issue of Shares
4.1 General
The Company issued 6,348,795 Shares on 22 August 2017 at an issue price of $0.0316 per Share and 7,200,000 Shares on 25 September 2017 at a deemed issue price of $0.041 per Share as part settlement for the acquisition of a geological database under its 15% placement capacity and now seeks to ratify the issue of those Shares.
Resolution 4 is proposed for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 which provides that shareholders may ratify the issue of securities made without their prior approval provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such a ratification is to refresh the company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of its’ issued capital in circumstances contemplated by that Listing Rule. The Company confirms that the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 4 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Listing Rules Notice Requirements
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
- (a) a total of 13,548,795 Shares were issued by the Company;
| (a) | a total of 13,548,795 Shares were issued by the Company; |

(c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue;

-
(d) the 6,348,795 Shares were issued pursuant to an agreement announced to ASX on 26 May 2017 advising that the Company was to issue CAD$200,000 worth of Shares (based on a 10-day volume weighted average price of Shares and the CAD:AUD exchange rate at the time of issue); and the 7,200,000 Shares were issued pursuant to an agreement announced to ASX on 1 September 2017 advising that the Company had acquired an extensive geological database; and
-
(e) no funds were raised by the two issues.
4.3 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors of the Company believe that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
5.1 General
Under Listing Rule 7.1, subject to certain exceptions, a listed entity must not, without the approval of holders of ordinary securities, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities than the number calculated according to the formula set out in that rule. The formula generally has the effect that, in addition to the exceptions provided, every listed entity has the ability ( 15% Placement Capacity ) over any 12-month period to issue Equity Securities equal to 15% of its issued capital at the commencement of the 12-month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an “Eligible Entity” may also seek the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities by special resolution passed at an AGM to have the additional capacity ( 10% Placement Capacity ) to issue Equity Securities under rule 7.1A. The exact formula for the 10% Placement Capacity is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and the approval period ( 10% Placement Period ) to which it relates (generally 12 months) is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.1 (refer to sections 5.2 and 5.3 respectively below). The ability to issue securities under listing rule 7.1A is in addition and separate to each listed entity's ability to issue securities under listing rule 7.1.
An “Eligible Entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant special resolution passed for the purposes of rule 7.1A, (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As at the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation for this purpose is approximately $34.7 million and the Company expects to be an Eligible Entity at the time of the Meeting.
There are a number of other rules and conditions applicable to the approval and issue of equity securities under listing rule 7.1A, including:
-
(a) that 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;
-
(b) a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they may be issued; and
-
(c) additional disclosure requirements.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (MEI).
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval to have the 10% Placement Capacity.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 463,727,190 fully paid ordinary Shares. Assuming the Company’s Shares on issue do not change, the Company will have the capacity over the course of the next 12 months to issue:
-
(i) 69,559,078 Equity Securities under its 15% Placement Capacity; and
-
(ii) 46,372,719 Equity Securities under its 10% Placement Capacity,
without requiring further shareholder approval.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. In particular, the ability of the Company to issue shares under the 10% Placement Capacity will enable the Company to issue shares at a discount to the then market price in circumstances where it might otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay and uncertainty of having to go back to Shareholders for approval. The additional flexibility will better position the Company to raise working capital in the current difficult market conditions and pursue distressed asset opportunities.
5.2 Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 10% Placement Period, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (which does not include the 10% Placement Capacity);
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Page 7
METEORIC RESOURCES NL ABN 64 107 985 651 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. 5.3 10% Placement Period under Listing Rule 7.1A.1 Listing Rule 7.1A.1 provides that an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must be for a period commencing on the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
| (a) | the date that is 12 months after the date of that AGM; or |
|---|---|
| (b) | the date of the approval by holders of the Eligible Entity’s ordinary securities of a transaction under rule 11.1.2 (proposed significant change |
| to the nature or scale of its activities where ASX has required the entity to seek such approval) or rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking). | |
| 5.4 | Special Resolution |
| Resolution 5 will only be effective if it is passed as a special resolution which requires (amongst other matters) that it be passed by at least 75% of | |
| votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution. | |
| 5.5 | 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 Capacity as follows: | |
| (a) | If the 10% Placement Capacity is used, Equity Securities may only be issued in reliance on the 10% Placement Capacity at an issue price |
| of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 trading days on which trades | |
| in that class were recorded immediately before: | |
| (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or |
|
| (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity |
|
| Securities are issued. | |
| (b) | If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing |
| Shareholders’ voting power and economic interests in the Company could potentially be diluted as shown in the below table. There is 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 the 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, | |
| which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities. |
The table below shows:
| (i) | the potential dilution of existing Shareholders assuming a share issue at the current market price of Shares and assuming the |
|---|---|
| current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as described in section 5.2 and Listing Rule 7.1A.2) (further assumptions | |
| are set out in the notes immediately below the table). | |
| (ii) | two further examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary |
| securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities included in variable “A” 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 |
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iv) 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 the Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) 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.
-
(vi) The use of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The assumed issue price is $0.73 the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 19 October 2017.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility (if) approved at the 2017 AGM during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
-
(i) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continuing the investigation and exploration on the tenements acquired via the Cobalt Canada acquisition, investigating new opportunities and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
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 allottees 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 issue or other issue 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
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.
