5. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
5.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
5.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
6. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Election of Directors
6.1 General
The Board may appoint a person to be a Director of the Company at any time pursuant to clause 3.3 of the Constitution. As prescribed by clause 3.3(a) of the Constitution, any Director appointed in accordance with clause 3.3 automatically retires at the next annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election by that annual general meeting. Listing Rule 14.4 requires that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.
Mr Kastellorizos and Mr Shackleton were appointed on 16 March 2022 and 6 May 2022 respectively. Accordingly, Mr Kastellorizos and Mr Shackleton retire and seek election as Directors at the Meeting.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, Mr Kastellorizos and Mr Shackleton will not be elected as Directors, and will not be able to continue as Directors of the Company.

7. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Ratification of Placement
7.1 General
The background to the Placement is set out in Section 4.2.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12-month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). 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 Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 87,312,703 Placement Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 86,477,620 Placement Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 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 date of issue of the Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 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 date of issue of the Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).

13.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant 1,500,000 Performance Rights (comprising 750,000 Class B Performance Rights and 750,000 Class E Performance Rights) to Ms Tabakovic as remuneration for past services provided to the Company in her previous role as Company Secretary. Ms Tabakovic was first appointed as Company Secretary on 28 August 2018 and resigned from the position on 2 September 2022.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 7.2.
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Ms Tabakovic for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Ms Tabakovic. In addition, the grant of such Performance Rights 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. If Resolution 13 is not passed then the Company will not issue Performance Rights to Ms Tabakovic and may need to determine an alternative form of remuneration to her.
Resolution 13 is an ordinary resolution.
13.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
- (a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Aida Tabakovic, who is not is a related party of the Company.

- (d) The Performance Rights may be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
- (e) The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration as they are being issued as remuneration in connection with Ms Tabakovic's previous role as Company Secretary. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights.

- (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
14. Resolutions 14 and 15 – Removal and Appointment of Auditor
14.1 Resolution 14 – Removal of Auditor
Under section 329 of the Corporations Act, an auditor of a company may be removed from office by resolution at a general meeting of which 2 months' notice of intention to move the resolution has been given.
The notice of intention to remove PKF Perth was served on the Company on 15 September 2022 and the Company has sent a copy of the notice of intention to PKF Perth and ASIC in accordance with section 329(2) of the Corporations Act. A copy of the notice is attached to this Notice as Annexure A.
It should be noted that if a company calls a meeting after the notice of intention has been given, the meeting may pass the resolution even though the meeting is held less than 2 months after the notice of intention is given.
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval to remove PKF Perth as the auditor of the Company. If this resolution is passed, the removal of PKF Perth as the Company's auditor will take effect as at the close of the Meeting.
Resolution 14 is an ordinary resolution.
14.2 Resolution 15 – Appointment of Auditor
Under section 327D of the Corporations Act, the Company in a general meeting may appoint an auditor to replace an auditor removed under section 329 of the Corporations Act, provided that:
(a) a copy of the notice of nomination of the auditor has been sent to the proposed replacement auditor and to each person entitled to receive a notice of meeting; and
(b) the auditor has given its written consent to act in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act.
As required under the Corporations Act, the nomination for BDO Audit to be appointed as the auditor of the Company has been received from a Director. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Notice as Annexure B.
BDO Audit has given its written consent to act as the Company's auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act, subject to Shareholders approval of Resolution 15.
Resolution 15 is a special resolution seeking the appointment of BDO Audit as the new auditor of the Company. As Resolution 15 is a special resolution, it therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
If Resolutions 14 and 15 are passed, the appointment of BDO Audit as the Company's auditor will take effect at the close of the Meeting. Resolution 15 is subject to the passing of Resolution 14.
15. Resolution 16 – Amendment to the Company's Constitution
15.1 General
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company can modify its constitution by special resolution. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend its Constitution to permit it to conduct virtual meetings of Shareholders.
The recent passing of the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Bill 2021 provides for companies to use technology to hold meetings, including hybrid meetings, on a permanent basis and wholly virtual meetings if this is expressly permitted or required by the constitution.
The Constitution does not expressly permit wholly virtual meetings. Resolution 16 proposes to amend clause 12.7 of the Constitution, to provide that, subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may hold a wholly virtual general meeting.
This amendment will clarify that a general meeting may be held by the Company in one of three ways:
-
- at a physical venue ('physical meeting');
-
- at one or more physical venues using technology ('hybrid meeting' which is a physical meeting linked with online facilities to allow remote participation); or
-
- using virtual meeting technology only ('virtual meeting', where all members participate via online facilities).
The Company intends to meet in person at its general meetings, however the proposed amendment ensures that the Company has the flexibility to conduct virtual meetings if needed. This resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires support from 75% of the votes cast.
The proposed amendment is as follows:
- "12.7 Meeting at more than one place
- (a) A meeting of members may be held in 2 or more places linked together by any technology that:
- (i) gives the members as a whole in those places a reasonable opportunity to participate in proceedings;
- (ii) enables the chairman to be aware of proceedings in each place; and
- (iii) enables the members in each place to vote on a show of hands and on a poll.
- (b) If a meeting of members is held in 2 or more places under Article 12.7:
- (i) a member present at one of the places is taken to be present at the meeting; and
- (ii) the chairman of that meeting may determine at which place the meeting is taken to have been held.
- (c) A general meeting may be held using virtual technology only, provided the technology gives members as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate, and is permitted by law."
16. Resolution 17 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
16.1 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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of \$300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an 'eligible entity' as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of \$300,000,000 or less.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
16.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.
16.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
- (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated 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 by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in Section 17.3(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for cash consideration. The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate towards:
- (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);
- (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company's current assets/or projects (including its gold prospects located in the Cue goldfields);
- (iii) the development of the Company's current business; and
- (iv) general working capital.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 20 October 2022.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price | ||||||||||||

The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
- There are currently 1,083,215,942 Shares on issue.
-
- The issue price set out above is the closing market price of Shares as at 20 October 2022.
-
- The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
- This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
- 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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
- (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
- (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
- (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
- (v) prevailing market conditions; and
- (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 November 2021 (Previous Approval).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 24 November 2021, the Company issued a total of 90,225,812 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval, which represents approximately 15.44% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 24 November 2021.
Details of the issue of Equity Securities by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 6.
(g) Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

Upon the applicable Vesting Condition being satisfied, and subject to the Holder continuing to provide services to the Company at the date of exercise (unless the Board determines otherwise), the Holder may exercise a Performance Right by delivering a written notice of exercise (Notice of Exercise) to the Company Secretary at any time prior to the Expiry Date. The Holder is not required to pay a fee in order to exercise Performance Rights.
5. Expiry
Any Performance Rights that have not been exercised prior to the Expiry Date will automatically expire on the Expiry Date.
6. Transfer
A Performance Right is not transferable.
7. Entitlements and bonus issues
The holder of a Performance Right will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
8. Reorganisation of capital
In the event that the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all the Holder's rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation provided that, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, following such reorganisation the Holder's economic and other rights are not diminished or terminated.
9. Right to receive Notices and attend general meetings
Each Performance Right confers on the Holder the right to receive notices of general meetings and financial reports and accounts of the Company that are circulated to Shareholders. A Holder has the right to attend general meetings of the Company.
10. Voting rights
A Performance Right does not entitle the Holder to vote on any resolutions proposed at a general meeting of the Company, subject to any voting rights provided under the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules where such rights cannot be excluded by these terms.
11. Dividend rights
A Performance Right does not entitle the Holder to any dividends.

13. Rights on winding up
The Performance Rights have no right to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon a winding up of the Company.
14. Change in control
- (a) If prior to the earlier of the conversion or the Expiry Date a Change in Control Event occurs, then each Performance Right will automatically and immediately convert into a Share. However, if the number of Shares to be issued as a result of the conversion of the Performance Rights is in excess of 10% of the total fully diluted share capital of the Company at the time of the conversion, then the number of Performance Rights to be converted will be reduced so that the aggregate number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Performance Rights is equal to 10% of the entire fully diluted share capital of the Company.
- (b) A Change of Control Event occurs when:
- (i) takeover bid: the occurrence of the offeror under a takeover offer in respect of all Shares announcing that it has achieved acceptances in respect of more than 50.1% of shares and that takeover bid has become unconditional; or
- (ii) scheme of arrangement: the announcement by the Company that the Shareholders have at a Court-convened meeting of Shareholders voted in favour, by the necessary majority, of a proposed scheme of arrangement under which all Company securities are to be either cancelled transferred to a third party, and the Court, by order, approves the proposed scheme of arrangement.
- (c) The Company must ensure the allocation of shares issued under sub-paragraph (a) is on a pro rata basis to all Holders in respect of their respective holdings of Performance Rights and all remaining Performance Rights held by each Holder will remain on issue until conversion or expiry in accordance with the terms and conditions set out herein.
15. Timing of issue of Shares on exercise
Within 10 Business Days of receiving an Exercise Notice, the Company will:
- (a) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights specified in the Notice of Exercise;
- (b) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
- (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 Performance Rights.
16. Compliance with law
The conversion of the Performance Rights is subject to compliance at all times with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
17. Application to ASX
Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. On conversion of Performance Rights into Shares, the Company will within five (5) Business Days after the conversion, apply for official quotation on ASX of the Shares issued upon such conversion.
18. Ranking of Shares
Shares into which the Performance Rights will convert will rank parri passu in all respects with existing Shares.
19. No other rights
A Performance Right does not give a Holder any rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
