EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

ORDINARY BUSINESS

Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

Background

On 26 April 2022 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued 340,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ), at an issue price of $0.01 (1 cent) per share, to sophisticated and professional investors ( the Issue ).

ASX Listing Rules

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 over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period ( Placement Capacity )

  • 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% ( Extra Placement Capacity ). This Extra Placement Capacity pertains to quotable securities only. The Company obtained approval for the Extra Placement Capacity at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the expectations set out in Listing Rule 7.2, and it has not yet been approved by Shareholders:

  • the issue of the Placement Shares was made under the Placement Capacity and the Extra Placement Capacity of the Company, effectively 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 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 7.1A 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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Issue 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 it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Issue 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 it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued and allotted to sophisticated and professional investors of whom some were existing shareholders of the Company, or clients of Taylor Collison Limited or Morgans Corporate Limited.

  • (b) the number and class of securities issued were 340,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

  • (c) the Placement Shares were issued on 26 April 2022.

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.01 (1 cent) each.

Page | 6

  • (e) the purpose of the Issue was to provide funds to continue diamond core drilling in the Copalquin District to expand high-grade gold-silver maiden JORC resource at El Refugio and drill test targets along strike and continue exploration target development within the Copalquin District.

Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement is set out under Note 5 of this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 2: Ratification of prior issue of Placement Options

Background

On 26 April 2022 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued 170,000,000 unquoted options, at an issue price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) each and expiring on 26 April 2024 ( Placement Options ), attached to the Placement Shares on a 1:2 basis ( the Issue ).

ASX Listing Rules

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.

The Issue does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 Issue Date.

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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Issue 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (f) the Placement Shares were issued and allotted to sophisticated and professional investors of whom some were existing shareholders of the Company, or clients of Taylor Collison Limited or Morgans Corporate Limited.

  • (g) the number and class of securities issued were 170,000,000 unquoted options in the Company.

  • (h) the Placement Options were issued on 26 April 2022.

  • (i) the Placement Options were issued for nil consideration. The Placement Options are free-attaching unquoted Options (on a one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) fully paid ordinary shares issued) to the Placement Participants.

Page | 7

  • (j) the purpose of the Issue was to provide funds to continue diamond core drilling in the Copalquin District to expand high-grade gold-silver maiden JORC resource at El Refugio and drill test targets along strike and continue exploration target development within the Copalquin District.

Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement is set out under Note 5 of this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to Mr Stephen Layton Non-Executive Director (or their nominee) will receive 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per share.

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 give them a right or expectation to do so;

Unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. Directors of the Company are related parties of the Company and therefore Shareholder approval for the participation of the abovenamed Director of the Company in the Placement is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue of Options therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options and Mr Stephen Layton (or his nominee) will receive the value of Options as set out above.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Stephen Layton, and the Director (or his nominee) will not receive the Options as described in the table above.

If approvals are given under Listing Rule 10.11, approvals are not required under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of this is that the grant of those Options or the issue of Shares on the exercise price of those Options will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity allowed to be issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
