3. Background to the Placement

3.1 Placement

On 26 June 2024, the Company announced a capital raising to raise $3,700,000 (before costs) through the issue of 18,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share ( Placement Shares ), with 1 free attaching unlisted Option for every 1 Placement Share subscribed for and issued, exercisable at $0.30 each and expiring 2 years from the date of issue ( Placement Options ) ( Placement ).

The Placement is being undertaken in the following tranches:

  • (a) 9,542,378 Placement Shares issued to unrelated parties on 4 July (7,042,378 Shares) and 12 July 2024 (2,500,000 Shares) using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the subject of Resolution 1;

  • (b) 8,457,622 Placement Shares issued to unrelated parties on 4 July 2024 using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the subject of Resolution 2;

  • (c) 18,000,000 Placement Options to be issued to unrelated parties subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 3 ( Placement Options ); and

  • (d) 500,000 Placement Shares ( Director Placement Shares ) and 500,000 Placement Options ( Director Placement Options ) to be issued to Director John Skeet or his nominees (Director Placement Securities) subject to Shareholders approving Resolutions 4 and 5.

The Company engaged Pac Partners Securities Pty Ltd and Arlington Group Asset Management ( Lead Managers ) as lead managers and brokers to the Placement. The Lead

Managers received a cash fee of 6% of funds raised under the Placement.

4. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares

4.1 General

The background of the Placement and the Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of 9,542,378 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of 8,457,622 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

4.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

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 however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. At the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 22 April 2024 the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A), those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing of Resolutions 1 and 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% and 10% placement capacity set out in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, 9,542,378 Placement Shares 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 Resolution 1 is not passed, 9,542,378 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 9,542,378 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the

issue of those Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is passed, 8,457,622 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 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 Resolution 2 is not passed, 8,457,622 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 8,457,622 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.

The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A was not breached at the time the Placement Shares were issued.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to new and existing investors, including sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ), none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor, other than Jupiter Investment Management Ltd who is a substantial shareholder holding 9.99% of the Company’s shares post the Placement subscribing for 10,000,000 Shares from the Placement. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Managers.

  • (b) A total of 9,542,378 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1). A total of 8,457,622 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2).

  • (c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 4 July 2024 (15,500,000 Shares) and 12 July 2024 (2,500,000 Shares) at an issue price of $0.20 each. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares.

  • (e) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and are intended to continue to be used towards:

  • (i) exploration and drilling activities;

  • (ii) general working capital; and

  • (iii) costs of the Placement.

  • (f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Placement Shares.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Additional information

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Placement Options

5.1

Background

The background of the Placement and Placement Options is set out in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Placement Options.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 is in Section 4.2 above.

The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company can proceed to issue the Placement Options without using up any of the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under 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 Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 18,000,000 Placement Options. As at the date of this Notice, the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity to issue the 18,000,000 Placement Options. Accordingly, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue if Resolution 3 is not passed unless it has sufficient placement capacity following the Meeting.

5.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) The Placement Options will be issued to the Placement Participants (refer to Section 4.3(a) above for further details of the Placement Participants).

  • (b) A maximum of 18,000,000 Placement Options will be issued to the Placement Participants.

  • (c) The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.30 each and expire 2 years from the date of issue are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.

  • (d) The Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Placement Options are being issued as free attaching Options to the Placement Shares. Accordingly, nil additional cash consideration will be payable by the Placement Participants.

  • (f) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 4.3(e) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Placement Options. Any funds raised upon exercise of the Placement Options will be used towards exploration and drilling activities and general working capital purposes.

  • (g) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Placement Options.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Additional information

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

6. Resolutions 4 and 5 - Approval to issue Director Placement Shares and Approval to issue Director Placement Options

6.1 General

The background to the Placement is in Section 3.1 above.

Director, John Skeet, wishes to participate in the Placement to the extent of subscribing for 500,000 Director Placement Shares (approval of which is sought under Resolution 4) and 500,000 Director Placement Options (approval of which is sought under Resolution 5) to raise $100,000 (before costs).

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Securities to John Skeet (or his nominees).

6.2 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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

John Skeet is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Securities to John Skeet (or his nominee) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 and 5 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising $100,000 (before costs).

Resolutions 4 and 5 must both be passed for the Director Placement Securities to be issued. If either Resolution is not passed the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Placement Securities and will not receive the additional $100,000 (before costs) committed by John Skeet.

6.3 Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:

  • (a) The Director Placement Securities will be issued to John Skeet (or his nominees).

  • (b) John Skeet falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 500,000 Director Placement Shares (approval of which is sought under Resolution 4) and 500,000 Director Placement Options (approval of which is sought under Resolution 5) will be issued to John Skeet (or his nominees).

  • (d) The Director Placement Shares (approval of which is sought under Resolution 4) will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Director Placement Options (approval of which is sought under Resolution 5) will be exercisable at $0.30 each and will expire on 2 years from the date of issue. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (f) The Director Placement Securities will be issued within one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (g) The Director Placement Shares (approval of which is sought under Resolution 4) will be issued at an issue price of $0.20 each, being the same issue price as other Placement Shares and will raise $100,000 (before costs).

  • (h) The Director Placement Options (approval of which is sought under Resolution 5) are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares (approval of which is sought under Resolution 4). Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options. Any funds raised upon exercise of the Director Placement Options will be used towards drilling and exploration activities and general working capital purposes.

  • (i) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 4.3(e) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Placement Options.

  • (j) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities is not intended to remunerate or incentivise John Skeet.

  • (k) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities. The Director Placement Securities will not be issued pursuant to an agreement.

  • (l) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the Securities will be issued on the same terms as those 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.

6.5 Additional information

Resolution 4 and 5 are ordinary resolutions.

The Board, with John Skeet abstaining from making any recommendation, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

7. Resolution 6 – Change of Company Name

7.1

Change of Name

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name from Mithril Resources Limited to “Mithril Silver and Gold Limited” to reflect the Company’s main focus on silver and gold exploration.

7.2 Additional Information

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast on the resolution by shareholders entitled to vote on it.

Subject to the passing of resolution 6, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change. The change of name of the Company will take effect from when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
