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 Placement

On 21 June 2023, the Company announced it had received firm commitments from new and existing sophisticated investors and a Director to raise approximately $1,500,000 (before costs) through a placement of 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.03 per Share ( Placement ). The Placement issue price of $0.03 represents a 38.8% discount to the Company’s ten (10) day volume weighted average price of $0.049.

The Placement will be issued in two tranches:

  • (a) Tranche 1 comprises of 12,057,261 Shares and will be issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) Tranche 2 comprises of:

  • (i) 34,609,406 Shares to new and existing sophisticated investors; and

  • (ii) 3,333,333 Shares to be issued to Allan Kelly, a related party by virtue of being the Company’s Executive Chair,

(together, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) being subject to shareholder approval at this meeting.

The purpose of the Placement is to raise funds for upcoming exploration programmes at the Company’s 100% owned Whaleshark and Bangemall projects in the Ashburton and Gascoyne regions of WA.

Further details are set out in the ASX announcement dated 21 June 2023.

1.2 Pro rata non-renounceable rights issue

In addition to the Placement, the Company intends to raise approximately $550,000 through a pro rata non-renounceable rights issue of one (1) Share for every five (5) Shares held by an eligible shareholder on the record date at an issue price of $0.03 per Share ( Rights Issue ). The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by Westar Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 009 372 838) ( Westar Capital ) who will also act as the lead manager of the Placement.

1.3 Lead Manager Mandate

The Company has entered into a lead manager mandate with Westar Capital ( Lead Manager Mandate ) for the purposes of assisting the Company with reaching its capital raising objectives under both the Placement and the Rights Issue. The Lead Manager Mandate has the following material terms:

  • (a) the Company will pay Westar Capital a broker fee of 6% of the gross amount raised in the Placement (plus GST) (being, up to $90,000), payable in cash; and

3

  • (b) Westar Capital (or its nominee/s) is entitled to subscribe for and the Company will issue 25,000,000 Options (exercisable at $0.08 each expiring three (3) years from the date of issue) at an issue price of $0.00001 ( Broker Options ) (being the subject of Resolution 4).

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1

2.1 General

On or around 29 June 2023, the Company issued 12,057,261 Tranche 1 Placement shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share as part of the Placement summarised in Section 1.1 above.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

As summarised in Section 1.3 above, the Company engaged the services of Westar Capital to manage the Placement. The fees payable to Westar Capital are summarised in Section 1.3.

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, 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 approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 3 November 2022.

The issue of the Tranche 1 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

4

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.3 Technical 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 Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Westar Capital. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Westar Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 12,057,261 Shares were issued (comprising of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares) and the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on or around 29 June 2023;

  • (e) the issue price was $0.03 per Tranche 1 Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is outlined at Section 1.1 above; and

  • (g) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to customary placement offer letters between the Company and the participants, where each participant agreed to subscribe for and the Company agreed to issue one (1) Share at an issue price of $0.03.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

3.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 34,609,406 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share as part of the Placement summarised in Section 1.1 above. These Shares make up part of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

As summarised in Section 1.3 above, the Company engaged the services of Westar Capital to manage the Placement. The fees paid by the Company to Westar Capital are summarised in Section 1.3.

5

As summarised in Section 2.1 above, 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.

The proposed issue of the 34,609,406 Shares 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.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 2 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares . In addition, the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares 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 Resolutions 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares and reduce the funding to the upcoming exploration programmes detailed in Section 1.1.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares.

3.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the 34,609,406 Shares that are the subject of Resolution 2 will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Westar Capital. The recipients will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Westar Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients of the Shares that are the subject of Resolution 2 will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (c) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (d) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 34,609,406. The 34,609,406 Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the 34,609,406 Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the 34,609,406 Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price of the 34,609,406 Shares will be $0.03 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares;

6

  • (g) the purpose for the issue of the 34,609,406 Shares pursuant to Placement is summarised in Section 1.1 above;

  • (h) the 34,609,406 Shares were issued pursuant to customary placement offer letters between the Company and the participants, where each participant agreed to subscribe for and the Company agreed to issue one (1) Share at an issue price of $0.03; and

  • (i) the 34,609,406 Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – ALLAN KELLY

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 above, Director Allan Kelly wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement

( Participation ).

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 3,333,333 Shares 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 Shares 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 Shares will be issued to Allan Kelly (or their nominee) on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on an 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

7

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.

Resolution 3 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

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares 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

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Allan Kelly (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Allan Kelly is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Allan Kelly (or their nominee) is 3,333,333;

  • (c) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.03 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

8

  • (j) the purpose of the Placement is summarised in Section 1.1 above;

  • (f) the Shares to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director;

  • (g) the Shares will be issued pursuant to customary placement offer letters between the Company and the participants, where each participant agreed to subscribe for and the Company agreed to issue one (1) Share at an issue price of $0.03; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in this Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS

5.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.3 above, pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, Westar Capital (or its nominee/s) is entitled to subscribe for 25,000,000 Broker Options at an issue price of $0.00001 per Option.

As summarised in Section 2.1 above, 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.

The proposed issue of the Broker Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options 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 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and may be in breach of the Lead Manager Mandate.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

  • (a) the Broker Options will be issued to Westar Capital (or its nominee/s);
