EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS
1.1 Background to resolutions
On 3 May 2022, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from new and existing sophisticated investors to raise approximately $2.4 million (before costs) through a placement of fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) and one free attaching option (exercisable at $0.25 expiring two years from the date of issue) ( Option ) for every two Shares issued ( Placement ). The Company will apply to have the Options quoted and tradeable on the ASX.
The Placement will be issued in two tranches:
-
(a) Tranche 1 : comrpised of 14,077,525 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.17 per share ( Shares ) issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity is anticipated to be issued on or around 10 May 2022 to unrelated sophisticated investors. The 7,038,763 Options are the subject of Resolution 3.
-
(b) Tranche 2 : comprises of up to 588,236 Shares with one free attaching Option for every two Shares subscribed for, up to a total of 294,118 Options. Subject to Shareholder approval (pursuant to to Resoltuion 4), these Securities will be issued to Mr Allan Kelly, a Related Party by virute of being the Company’s Executive Chairman.
The purpose of the Placement is to fund the accelerated exploration at the Gidji Joint Venture Project ( Gidji JV ), to undertake further exploration at the projects located in the Eastern Goldfields, Murchison and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia and to fund the working captial of the Company.
In connection with the Placement, the Company has appointed PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd (ACN 623 653 912) (AFSL 335 374) ( PAC Partners ) to act as the lead manager of the Placement. The material terms for PAC Partners acting as lead manager ( Lead Manager Mandate ) are that the Company will pay PAC Partners:
-
(a) 2% management fee on the gross proceeds raised under the Placement, payable in cash (plus GST);
-
(b) 4% placement fee on the capital introduced in the Placement, payable in cash (plus GST); and
-
(c) subject to Shareholder approval (pursuant to Resolution 5), issue one Option for every four Shares placed under the Placement ( Broker Options ).
The Company also announced that it intends to complete a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue of options in June 2022. The Options will be on the same terms and conditions as the Placement. Existing Shareholders will have the right to subscribe for one Option for every two Shares held on the record date at an issue price of $0.01 per Rights Issue Option ( Rights Issue ).
In connection with the Rights Issue, the Company has appointed PAC Partners as the underwriter. It has been agreed that the Company will pay an underwriting fee of 6% on the underwritten amount in the Rights Issue payable in Options on the same terms as the Rights Issue ( Underwriting Agreement ). The issue of the Options are subject to Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 6).

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
The Company anticipates to issue, on or around 10 May 2022, 14,077,525 Shares at an issue price of $0.17 per Share to raise $14,077,525 ( Placement Shares ).
8,446,515 Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 5,631,010 Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 4 November 2021 (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 12-month period.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 4 November 2021.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
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. 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, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
2.5

6
The proposed issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. Therefore, the Company will be in breach of the terms of the Placement and may require to renegotiates the terms of the Placement.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO RELATED PARTY – ALLAN KELLY
4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, Executive Chair Allan Kelly wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement ( Participation ).
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 588,236 Shares and on free attaching Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued (being up to 294,118 Options) to Allan Kelly (or his nominee(s)), as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.
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 the Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Allan Kelly, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Allan Kelly who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Securities will be issued to Allan Kelly (or their nominee) on the same terms as Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3
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:
-
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 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 a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
8
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Securities in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

7. RESOLUTION 7 – AMENDMENT OF CONSTITUTION
7.1 General
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ) to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted on 27 August 2020. The amendment relates to the inclusion of convening of electronic meetings and distribution of meeting-related material electronically pursuant to Chapter 2G of the Corporations Act.
It is proposed that the Amended Constitution includes at Clause 14 a new provision which allows for the use of technology at meetings and distribution of meetings-related documents electronically (whether by a physical or electronic link or the entire document), to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act.
A copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website https://www.miramarresources.com.au/ and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary ( [email protected] ). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
