The Resolution is an ordinary resolution.
Voting consequences
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
If 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM’s, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM’s on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held at which all of the Company’s Directors other than the Managing Director stand for election.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting within 90 days of the second AGM.
At the Company’s previous AGM, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the spill resolution is not relevant for this AGM.
Voting exclusion : A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is an “eligible entity” and has obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid for a number of quoted Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue as at the
commencement of that 12 month period ( 10% Placement Capacity ), as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve a previous issue of securities made under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or under the additional 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (provided that the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1). If they do, the previous issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be).
4.3 Resolutions 3 and 4
162,000,000 Placement Options and 25,037,213 Placement Shares were issued by way of the Placement under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the issue date of 4 February 2021; and
136,962,787 Placement Shares were issued by way of the Placement under the Company’s additional 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was obtained by the Company at the Company’s 2020 AGM, effectively reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the issue date of 4 February 2021.
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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of 136,962,787 Placement Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, while Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of the 25,037,213 Placement Shares and 162,000,000 Placement Options issued under ASX Listing Ru;e 7.1, for the purpose of and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If at the Meeting, Shareholders of the Company approve the ratification of the previous issue of the 136,962,787 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 3, and 162,000,000 Placement Options and 25,037,213 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 4, those Placement Shares and Placement Options will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval and will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s additional 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the 136,962,787 Placement Shares which are the subject of Resolution 3 will be included in calculating the Company’s additional 10% Placement Capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
Further or in the alternative, if Resolution 4 is not passed, then 162,000,000 Placement Options and 25,037,213 Placement Shares which are the subject of Resolution 4 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% Placement Capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of Equity Securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 10 being passed at the Meeting.
4.4 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

5. Resolutions 5 and 6 - Ratification of prior issue of Shares and MRQOC Options to Pinnacle Equities Pty Ltd (or its nominees) and to Peak Asset Management (or its nominees)
5.1 Background
On 27 January 2021, the Company entered into a mandate arrangement with Pinnacle ( Pinnacle Mandate ) whereby Pinnacle was entitled to be paid, as consideration for providing certain capital raising services to the Company in connection with the Placement:
-
(a) a capital raising fee equal to 6% of capital directly raised by Pinnacle; and

If at the Meeting, Shareholders of the Company approve the ratification of:
-
(a) the previous issue of the Pinnacle Shares and the Pinnacle Options pursuant to Resolution 5, then those Pinnacle Shares and the Pinnacle Options; and/or

will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval and will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1,
effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Pinnacle Shares and Pinnacle Options which are the subject of Resolution 5 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

Accordingly, under this Resolution, Shareholder approval is being sought to appoint William Buck as the auditor of the Company.
Recommendation: The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
8. Resolution 10 – Approval of additional placement capacity
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an “eligible entity” may, subject to shareholder approval by way of special resolution, issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12-month period commencing after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the normal 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An “eligible entity” for the purposes of ASX 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 confirms that it is an “eligible entity” for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and is seeking shareholder approval, by way of special resolution, for the Company to have an additional 10% Placement Capacity provided in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval.
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the additional 10% Placement Capacity provided for in the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Resolution 10 is a special resolution and requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote.
Therefore, if Resolution 10 is approved, the Directors will be allowed to issue Equity Securities of up to 25% (up to 10% pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and up to 15% pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1) of the Company’s issued share capital.
In this regard, if Resolution 10 is approved, any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity as provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities, and the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as summarized below).
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has two (2) classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: MRQ) and quoted Options (ASX Code: MRQOC).
If Resolution 10 is not approved, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, but will still be allowed to issue Equity Securities of up to 15% of the Company’s issued capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity
ASX 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 the 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
-
A is the number of ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17);
-
b) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
(A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(B) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
1
-
c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
(A) the agreement was entered into between the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(B) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under ASX Listing rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
-
d) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
e) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
d) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the relevant period.
-
D is 10%; and
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 10:
(a) Minimum issue price
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, Equity Securities issued by the Company under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be issued at a price that is not less than 75% of the VWAP (volume weighted average price) for the Equity Securities calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class of Equity Securities were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the issue price of the Equity Securities is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
the date on which the Equity Securities are issued (if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten Trading Days of the date on which the issue price is agreed).
2
(b) Placement period
Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
-
the time and date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
after which date an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A ceases to be valid.
The 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will not lapse if the Company’s market capitalisation subsequently exceeds $300 million or if it is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index at some time during that period provided that the Company meets those criteria on the date of the Meeting.
(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing shareholdings
If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders as a result, including the risk that:
-
the market price of the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date,
and in either case, there is a further risk that the 10% Placement capacity may raise less funding than it would be based on current market prices for the Equity Securities.
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue.
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table below shows:
-
two examples where variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (representing the Company's share capital) has increased by either 50% or 100%; and
-
two examples of whether the share price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% or increased by 100% from the current share price,
and is prepared on the basis that:
- Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company had on issue as at 7 October 2021. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require
Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer, issue of Shares on vesting of the Performance Rights) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
- The current issue price of the Shares is the closing price of the Shares as at 7 October 2021.

The dilution table has been prepared on the following hypothetical assumptions. The Company does not represent that they will necessarily occur:
-
There are currently 1,540,669,878 Shares on issue;
-
The current issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2021. This price may fluctuate between the time of preparing this Notice and the date of the Meeting and the date that any Shares are issued by the Company pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
any increase in Variable A (being the issued share capital at the time of issue) is due to an issue of Shares which is an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2,
for example a pro-rata rights issue. However, a 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not increase variable "A" for the purposes of calculating the 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised before the date of issue of the Equity Securities;
-
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%;
-
the table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
the table does not show the dilution that may be caused to any particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. For instance, Shareholders will have different outcomes depending on whether or not they participate in a pro-rata issue which has the effect of increasing variable "A".
(d) Purpose of the 10% Placement Capacity
Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed used of funds at the time of issue.
Based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company intends that any funds raised by the Company from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may be used for funding the Mozambique Heavy Mineral Sands exploration program, a new resource, asset or investment acquisition and/or for general working capital purposes.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Placement.
The identity of the allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the factors including the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including a rights issue or other issue in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
5
- advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice and may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders, but the allottees cannot include any directors, Related Parties or Associates of a Related Party of the Company (or a substantial holder of the Company referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.11) without a further specific Shareholder approval.
(f) Voting exclusion
A voting inclusion statement is included in this Notice. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 and the relevant Note under that rule concerning ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached or invited any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholders to participate in the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. No existing Shareholder's vote will therefore be excluded from voting on Resolution 10 at the Meeting.
(g) Issue or agreement to issue underASX Listing 7.1A in the 12 months prior to the Meeting
The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the AGM held on 17 November 2020 ( Previous 10% Placement Approval ).

Other information

ANNEXURE A: TERMS OF MRQOC OPTIONS
The MRQOC Options are issued on the terms below.
-
Each option entitles the optionholder to subscribe for 1 fully paid ordinary share ( Share ) in the capital of MRG Metals Limited (ACN 148 938 532) (the Company ) at $0.025 (“exercise price”).
-
All Shares issued upon exercise of the options will rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares.
-
Except as permitted by clause 9(c), there are no participating rights or entitlements conferred on the options and the optionholder will not be entitled to participate with respect to the options in new issues offered to shareholders during the term of the options without exercising the options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the relevant record date will be at least 10 Business Days (being a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Melbourne, Victoria) after the optionholder is notified of the relevant issue. This will give the holder the opportunity to exercise the options prior to the date for determining entitlements and to participate in any such issue as a shareholder.
-
In the event of any reorganisation of capital of the Company, prior to the expiry date for exercise of the options, the number of options to which the optionholder is entitled or the exercise price of the options or both shall be changed to comply with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.
-
The number of options held will appear on an option holder statement which will be accompanied by a Notice of Exercise of Options that is to be completed when exercising options as follows:

-
The options can be exercised at any time prior to their expiry date by completing the Notice of Exercise of Options form (similar to the one in paragraph 5) and delivering it to the Company with the exercise monies payable to the Company.
-
The Company shall, within 10 Business Days after the receipt of a valid Notice of Exercise of Options, issue Shares in respect of the options exercised and arrange for a holding statement for the Shares to be despatched to the optionholder. The Company will, within 10 Business Days after the date of allotment of those Shares,
5
apply for official quotation by the ASX of all Shares issued upon the exercise of the options. Any option that has not been exercised prior to the relevant expiry date automatically lapses on the expiry date.
-
The Company will advise optionholders at least 20 Business Days before the impending expiry of their options and will advise such other details as the ASX Listing Rules then prescribe, so as to enable optionholders to determine whether or not to exercise their options.
-
If, prior to the expiry date, the Company makes a bonus issue of shares to shareholders of the Company, then, upon the exercise of the options, the options holders would be entitled to have issued to them, in addition to the shares which would otherwise be issued to them upon exercise of their options, the shares which would have been issued under that bonus issue ( Bonus Shares ). If, on the record date applicable to the Bonus Shares, they had been registered as the holder of the shares to be issued to them upon exercise of the options, such Bonus Shares will be paid by the Company out of profits or reserves in the same manner as was applied in relation to the bonus issue and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the Bonus Shares.
-
The optionholder may exercise any number of the options without prejudice to the optionholder's ability to subsequently exercise any remaining options.
-
Subject to any escrow conditions, the options are freely transferable.
-
The Company will apply for official quotation by the ASX of the options in accordance with ASX Listing Rules.
-
Each option will expire on 30 June 2023 (“expiry date”).
-
There is no right to vary the expiry date, the exercise price or the underlying securities over which the options can be exercised.
-
The parties agree that, in so far as the ASX Listing Rules are applicable to the options, the parties shall do all acts, matters and things necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules in respect of the treatment of the options and the rights of the optionholder.
