Explanatory Statement

Introduction

The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with all the information known to the Company that is material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to approve the Resolutions as set out in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full and in conjunction with the Notice before making any decisions in relation to the proposed Resolutions.

Items of Ordinary Business

1. Financial Statements and Reports

Shareholders can now elect to receive the Company's Annual Report via a variety of means. Shareholders who opted to access the Annual Report electronically should have received the email link to the electronic document. Shareholders who opted to continue to receive a printed copy of the Annual Report should now have received it. Shareholders who took no action are advised that they can now access the electronic copy of the Annual Report online at the Company's website.

Copies of the Company's financial statements and reports of the Directors and the Auditor will also be tabled at the Meeting.

The purpose of tabling the Annual Financial Report of the Company at the Meeting and the reports of the Directors and the Auditor is to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or discuss matters relevant to the management of the Company. The Auditor has been invited to be present at the Meeting and Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report. It is not the purpose of the Meeting, nor a requirement of the Corporations Act or the Constitution, that the financial statements be approved or rejected.

2. Approval of Remuneration Report

As required by the Corporations Act, the board presents the Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption as a non-binding vote.

Among other things, the Remuneration Report contains:

  • » information about the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel; and

  • » remuneration details for key management personnel.

8

The Remuneration Report, which is part of the Directors' Report, can be found on the Company's website or can be obtained by contacting the Company's share registrar, Link Market Services.

Recommendation: The Board considers that the remuneration policies adopted for the Company are appropriate and reasonable. On this basis, the Board recommends that Shareholders eligible to vote do so in favour of Resolution 2.

3. Re-election of Shane Turner

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the re-election of the Director who is retiring by rotation.

The Constitution of the Company requires that at every annual general meeting, one-third of the previously elected directors must retire and are eligible for reelection.

Mr Turner has been a director since incorporation in 2011. He retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Turner is a Chartered Accountant and has over 30 years of financial and accounting experience. He has been employed with KPMG, a large regional public accounting practice, operated his own public accounting practice and now is employed with RSM Australia. He has been Company Secretary and CFO of White Rock Minerals (ASX: WRM) since August 2015. He was previously a Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary for Metminco (ASX: MNC) for 2 years.

Recommendation: The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution. Mr Turner has abstained from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

Items of Special Business

4. Ratification of prior issue of Shares

The Resolution set out in item 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of 5,555,556 Shares on 22 December 2016 at a deemed issue price of $0.018 per share for consideration of tenement acquisitions.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue securities during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, without shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 by permitting the ratification of a previous issue of securities which was not made under a prescribed exception to Listing Rule 7.1 or with prior shareholder approval, provided that the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1.

If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of a previous issue of securities at a general meeting, those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

9

The effect of ratification in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company's maximum capacity to issue further securities up to 15% of the Shares, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring Shareholder approval.

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Company maintains its ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, which contains the requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

Number
of
securities
issued
5,555,556 Shares were issued.
Price Issue price per Share was $0.018.
Terms The Shares rank pari passu with all existing
securities in their class.
Names
of
persons
to
whom
securities
were
issued
The Shares were allotted and issued to Tasex
Geological Services Pty Ltd.
Use of funds raised Shares issued as consideration for the acquisition
of Yardilla tenements as announced to the market
on 12 December 2016.

The Directors consider it appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of Shares made by the Company in the last 12 months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company's flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.

In particular, the Directors note that, if this approval is not obtained at the Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and delays, if the Directors subsequently propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 to the 15% rule in Listing Rule 7.1.

Recommendation: The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

5. Approval of additional placement capacity

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek shareholder approval to issue shares, options and other securities as defined in the Listing Rules ( Equity Securities ) up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

10

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility by way of Resolution 5.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, as set out below.

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities in the Company.

The Company, as at the date of this Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, being ordinary shares and options expiring on 31 August 2020. The number of ordinary shares on issue as at the date of this Notice is 320,779,759 and the number of options on issue is 72,978,404.

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during a 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

where:

  • A = the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

  • (d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

*Note: "A" has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D = 10%.

11

  • E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

12 months before the date of the Meeting, the Company had 315,224,203 fully paid Shares on issue. On 22 December 2016, the Company issued 5,555,556 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 for which approval under Listing Rule 7.4 is being sought from Shareholders at the Meeting. Therefore, on the date of the Meeting, the Company will have capacity to issue (on the assumption that Resolution 4 is approved):

  • (a) 48,116,963 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 32,077,975 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, subject to Shareholder approval being granted under Resolution 5.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which is set out above).

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date specified in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period as allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) Minimum issue price

12

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Risk of dilution

If Resolution 5 is approved and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below.

There is also a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of Equity Securities than on the date of the approval of Resolution 5; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Shares on the date that they are issued or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities.

The following table below shows:

  • (iii) 2 examples where the variable 'A' has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary securities that the Company has on issue as at 5 October 2017. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (eg a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (iv) 2 examples where the issue price of ordinary shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

*Note: the above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) 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%.

(iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the issue of Equity Securities, based on that Shareholder's holding as at the date of the Meeting.

(iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and not the issue of shares under the 15% placement power under Listing Rule 7.1.

(v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes options, it is assumed that those options are exercised into shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

(vi) The issue price is $0.007, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 4 October 2017.

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new businesses and investments. In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (b) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use funds raised to fund an acquisition of new businesses or investments

14

(including expenses associated with such acquisition), to reduce existing debt and/or for general working capital purposes.

Once an issue of Equity Securities has occurred, the Company will make the appropriate disclosure to the market (see below).

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (d) advice from corporate, financial and braking advisors (if available).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new businesses, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility may include vendors of the new businesses, assets or investments.

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2016 Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2016. In this regard, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following securities have been issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting:

  • (a) a total of 5,555,556 Shares were issued during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting which represents a 2% of the Shares that were on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period; and

(b) the details of the Shares issued during the 12 month period are as follows:

acquisition of Yardilla Exploration licences E28/2338 and E63/1626, as announced to the market on 12 December 2016.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder to participate in the issue of Equity Securities. Therefore, no existing Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.

In accordance with Listing Rule 3.10.5A, if Equity Securities are issued under this approval, the Company will make an announcement to the ASX with the following additional information:

  • (a) details of the dilution to existing Shareholders as a result of the issue;

  • (b) where the Equity Securities were issued for cash consideration, an explanation of why the Company issued Equity Securities in this manner, as opposed to (or in addition to) a pro-rata offering;

  • (c) details of any underwriting arrangements including the fees payable to the underwriter; and

  • (d) details of any other fees incurred in connection with the issue.

Recommendation: The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
