3. Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. Copies of the report can be found on the Company’s website www.minrex.com.au or by contacting the Company on +61 8 9481 0389.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report;

  • (b) ask questions about, or make comment on, the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask questions about, or make comment on, the Remuneration Report;

  • (d) ask the auditor questions about:

  • (i) the conduct of the audit;

  • (ii) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (iii) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (iv) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (e) the content of the Auditor's Report; and

  • (f) the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass this Resolution will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, under sections 250U and 250Y of the Corporations Act, Shareholders have the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

9

At the Company’s last annual general meeting, the Remuneration Report was approved by over 75% of Shareholders present and voting. In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that all Directors (other than the Managing Director) may be up for re-election.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.

5. Resolutions 2 to 4 – Re-election of James Bahen, Glenn Whiddon and James Pearse as Directors

5.1 General

Rule 3.3 of the Constitution gives the Board authority to appoint other Directors at any time. James Bahen, Glenn Whiddon and James Pearse were appointed under Rule 3.3 as follows:

  • (a) Mr Bahen was appointed as a Director on 8 April 2020;

  • (b) Mr Whiddon was appointed as a Director on 5 June 2020; and

  • (c) Mr Pearse was appointed as a Director on 30 June 2020.

Rule 3.3(a) of the Constitution provides that any Director appointed under Rule 3.3 must retire at the next annual general meeting of the Company and is eligible for re-election at that meeting.

Accordingly, each of Mr Bahen, Mr Whiddon and Mr Pearse will retire at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Mr James Bahen as a Director. The Board (excluding Mr Bahen) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Mr Glenn Whiddon as a Director. The Board (excluding Mr Whiddon) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Mr James Pearse as a Director. The Board (excluding Mr Pearse) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 are each an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 2, 3 and 4.

5.2 Director profiles

(a) Mr James Bahen

Mr Bahen is a Corporate Advisory Executive and Chartered Secretary who commenced his career in audit and assurance with a chartered accounting firm. He is currently a Company Secretary to a number of ASX listed companies. Mr Bahen is a member of the Governance Institute of Australia (GIA) and holds a

10

Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance and a Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in Accounting and Finance.

Mr Whiddon holds a degree in Economics and has extensive corporate and management experience. He is currently Director of a number of Australian and international public listed companies in the resource sector.

(c) Mr James Pearse

Mr Pearse is a corporate lawyer with over 10 years’ experience working for national, international and boutique law firms advising Australian businesses primarily in the mining, oil & gas and technology sectors. Mr Pearse holds Bachelor degrees in both Law and Commerce majoring in Finance.

6. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 General

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 securities 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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. Based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX on 26 October 2020, the Company's market capitalisation is approximately $7.0 million.

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

The Company intends to further its exploration activities at the Company’s current projects and, if the Acquisitions complete, exploration activities on the Sofala Projects and farm-in obligations in respect of the Sofala Farm-in Rights and the Sunny Corner Farm-in Rights. The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility for these purposes and to provide general working capital.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

11

The Directors believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

6.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

  • (b)

  • Equity Securities

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.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted Equity Securities, being the Shares.

  • (c)

  • Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may, during the period of approval, issue or agree to issue, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where the convertible securities were issued/agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or the issues/agreement to issue the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or the agreement was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Where the relevant period means the 12 month period preceding the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

12

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

6.3 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 Facility as follows:

  • (a) Period for which 10% Placement Facility will be valid

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

  • (b) Minimum price

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in subparagraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Purpose of funds raised

The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration. The Company intends to use funds raised towards further exploration activities at the Company’s current projects, to provide funding for the Company’s initial obligations under the Sofala Farm-in Rights and the Sunny Corner Farm-in Rights, for evaluating additional acquisition opportunities and to maintain a strong working capital position.

  • (d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class 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 those Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

13

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (iii) two 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 on issue 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

  • (iv) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (v) The Company issues/agrees to issue the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (vi) The issue/agreement to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

14

  • (vii) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.

  • (viii) At the date of this Notice, there are currently 233,637,055 Shares on issue.

  • (ix) The current market price is $0.03, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 26 October 2020.

Also note that in the table:

  • (x) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue/agreement to issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (xi) 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 that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (xii) The table shows only the effect of issues/agreements to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (e) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy for issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the recipients 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 purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The recipients of Equity Securities issued 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.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets, technology or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets, technology or investments.

  • (f)

Previous issues under the 10% Placement Facility

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (g) Voting exclusion

15

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded.

7. Overview of Acquisitions

7.1 Background

The Company is an active minerals exploration company with a recent focus on exploration of gold and base metal projects.

The Company currently holds five projects, one in the Gullewa area of Western Australia (100% owned) and four in the East Pilbara region of WA (70% owned).

The Company has recently been focused on further on-ground geophysical work on its 100% owned Deflector Extended Project in Gullewa (refer to ASX Announcement dated 19 October 2020) following the geophysical work reprocessing and interpretive work completed by the Company in September 2020 on its Deflector Extended Project and Daltons Project (East Pilbara) (refer to ASX Announcement dated 22 September 2020). The Company is also completing further field and sampling works on all of its WA projects.

7.2 Acquisitions

The Company announced on 22 October 2020 that it had entered into conditional binding agreements ( Acquisition Agreements ) the effect of which is that the Company will acquire;

  • (a) 100% of NSW mining authorities ELA5954, ELA5986, ELA6142 and EL8976 ( Sofala Projects );

  • (b) an option to farm-in to NSW mining authorities EL7974 and EL7423 ( Sofala Farm-in Rights ) to earn up to an 80% interest in these projects; and

  • (c) an option to acquire the farm-in rights of Argent in NSW mining authority EL5964 ( Sunny Corner Farm-in Rights ) to earn up to a 90% interest in that project,

(collectively, the Acquisitions ).

The Company groups the above mining authorities into four project areas, Mt Pleasant (EL5954), Sofala (EL7423 & EL7974), First Find (EL8976) and Sunny Corner (Sunny Corner North: EL5964 & ELA5986; Sunny Corner South: ELA6142). The location of these project areas is shown in Section 7.3 below. However, for the purposes of this Notice the above projects have been grouped into the Sofala Projects, the Sofala Farm-in Rights and the Sunny Corner Farm-in Rights.

The material terms of the Acquisitions are set out in Section 7.4.

The Company has undertaken a due diligence process prior to the date of this Notice and will conduct further due diligence pending completion of the Acquisitions. While this process is undertaken to identify any material risks specific to the Acquisitions, it should be noted that the usual risks associated with a company with a small market capitalization undertaking business in any industries, including the resource industry, are expected to remain after the completion of due diligence.

Shareholders and investors should also be aware that the Acquisitions are conditional on a number of events (refer to Section 7.4 below). Accordingly, there is a risk that the Acquisitions may not be completed.

16

Under the Acquisition Agreements, the Company has agreed to issue the Consideration Shares as part of the consideration to the Vendors and the Option Shares as part of the consideration to Argent.

7.3 Overview of the Projects

East Lachlan Fold Belt

The East Lachlan Fold Belt is a high profile mining and exploration region that contains several major gold, copper-gold and silver deposits. These include Newcrest Mining Ltd’s Cadia-Ridgeway Mine, Evolution Mining Ltd’s Lake Cowal Mine, China Molybdenum Co. Ltd’s Northparkes Mine, Alkane Resources Ltd’s Tomingley Mine and Silver Mines Ltd’s Bowdens deposit.

Investor interest in the region has increased further with the discovery of significant gold-copper porphyry mineralisation at Alkane Resources Ltd’s Boda Prospect. The US Geological Service recently estimated that between four and ten porphyry systems remain to be found in the Lachlan Fold Belt. This has led to a number of companies acquiring ground in the region, including Newmont Mining Ltd, Freeport-McMoRan Inc, and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. In addition to porphyry-style mineralisation, there are also orogenic gold deposits such as Tomingley and Hill End, and silver-lead skarn deposits such as Bowdens.

The East Lachlan Fold Belt is within the Sofala Region, which is located 180km Northwest of Sydney, NSW. An overview of the region is shown in the image below. Refer to the Company’s ASX Announcement of 22 October 2020 for further details.

The projects are highly prospective for both gold-rich, alkali, gold-copper porphyry (Cadia-style) mineralisation and paleo-placer gold mineralisation. These projects are complementary to MinRex’s existing project portfolio of gold projects in Western Australia as MinRex looks towards diversifying its gold and base metals exploration activities in additional world class areas within Australia.

  • (c) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.
