3. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.orangeminerals.com.au.

4. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

4.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

4.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting as a listed company, the remuneration report of the Company has not been considered before. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR CAMPBELL SMYTH

5.1 General

Clause 74.1 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting. Clause 74.2 of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office. Clause 74.3 of the Constitution requires that in the event that two or more Directors have held office for equal periods of time, the retiring Directors are to be determined by lot, unless otherwise agreed by those Directors. The Directors have resolved to agree that Mr Campbell Smyth retire and be eligible for re-election.

Clause 74.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Clause 74.2 or 74.3 is eligible for re-election.

4

5.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr. Campbell Smyth has over 25 years of experience in the fund management, capital markets and corporate finance of the venture capital and resource sectors. He is a graduate of the University of Western Australia, (Bachelor of Commerce) and postgraduate of Pembroke College, Oxford. He is currently director of Nubian Resources (TSXV), Amani Gold (ASX:ANL), Allied Copper Corporation (TSXV), Allup Silica Limited and chairman of Norseman Silver (TSXV).

5.3 Independence

If elected, the Board considers that Mr Campbell Smyth is an independent director.

5.4 Board recommendation

The Board, other than Mr Campbell Smyth, supports the re-election of Mr Campbell Smyth and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1 General

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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an ‘eligible entity’ as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

5

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum Price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

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

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in Section 6(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for cash consideration. The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate towards:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (including its gold prospects located in the Cue goldfields);

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issues as at 3 October 2022.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

168,178,094 16,817,809 $588,623 $1,177,247 $1,765,870

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 84,089,047 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of Shares as at 3 October 2022.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. 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%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

7

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company did not obtain approval under Listing Rule 7.1A as this is the Company’s first annual general meeting since incorporation. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting.

(g)

Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
