All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon.

The Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

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:

  • (a) 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);

  • (d) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

  • (a) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

  • (b) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (c) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded, or is otherwise required under section 250JA on the resolution; and

Your proxy voting instruction must be received by Tuesday, 17 December 2024 at 9:00am (AWST), being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting.

2.3 Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

3. Resolution 1(a) and (b) – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

3.1 General

On 31 October 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to raise up to approximately $1.6 million (before costs) through the issue of up to 20,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.08 per Placement Share ( Placement ).

Page 5

The Placement is comprised of the following tranches:

  • (a) Tranche 1 : The issue of 18,200,000 Placement Shares to unrelated parties of the Company pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 (7,857,033 Placement Shares) and 7.1A (10,342,967 Placement Shares) ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).

  • (b) Tranche 2 : The issue of up to 1,800,000 Placement Shares to current and former Directors of the Company, subject to the prior receipt of Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2(a)-(d) inclusive) ( Related Party Placement Shares ).

The Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares on 7 November 2024 without prior Shareholder approval using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A 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 the 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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 21 May 2024.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 7,857,033 Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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 issue date.

If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 7,857,033 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number

Page 6

of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 7,857,033 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 10,342,967 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 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 issue date.

If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 10,342,967 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's additional 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 10,342,967 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company.

In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that Symorgh Investments Pty Ltd , an associate of Stephen Parsons, and a substantial Shareholder, was issued 1,345,003 Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Other than as set out above, none of the recipients of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were a related party of the Company or a Material Investor.

  • (b) A total of 18,200,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in the proportions set out in Section 3.1.

  • (c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 7 November 2024 at $0.08 each.

  • (e) The proceeds from the Placement have been or are intended to be used to fund exploration programs at the Company's Newington Lithium-Gold Project and Challa Gold--Copper-PGE Project in Western Australia, and its Reid-Aylmer Lithium Project in Canada, as well as for the costs of the Placement and working capital.

  • (f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the issue of the Tranhe 1 Placement Shares.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

3.4 Additional information

Each of Resolution 1(a) and (b) is a separate ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).

Page 7

4. Resolution 2(a) to (d) – Approval to issue Related Party Placement Shares

4.1 General

The background to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is in Section 3.1.

Current Directors Sara Kelly, Mark Calderwood and Michael Wilson, and former Director Michael Naylor (together, the Related Parties ) or their respective nominees, have agreed to subscribe for up to 1,800,000 Shares under the Placement to raise gross proceeds of approximately $144,000 (before costs), as follows:

Related Party Amount committed to the Related Party
Placement Placement Shares
Sara Kelly $10,000 125,000
Mark Calderwood $54,000 675,000
Michael Wilson $16,000 200,000
Michael Naylor $64,000 800,000
TOTAL $144,000 1,800,000

Resolution 2(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares to the Related Parties (or their respective nominee/s).

4.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

Sara Kelly, Mark Calderwood and Michael Wilson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and therefore fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. Michael Naylor is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company in the previous 6 months, having only resigned as a Director on 28 August 2024, and therefore falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1.

Page 8

Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Related Party Placement Shares will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Related Party Placement Shares, raising up to $144,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 2(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to the Related Parties (or their respective nominee/s) in the proportions set out in Section 4.1.

  • (b) Each of the Related Parties fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a current or former (in the last 6 months) Director of the Company. In the event the Related Party Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of a Related Party, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.

  • (c) A maximum of 1,800,000 Related Party Placement Shares will be issued.

  • (d) The Related Party Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued at $0.08 each.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.3(e).

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Related Parties.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

Page 9

  • (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 proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company. However, the Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares because the Related Party Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

4.5 Additional information

Each of Resolution 2(a) to (d) (inclusive) is a separate ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour Resolution 2(a) to (d) (inclusive).
