Important Note

As of 6 December 2017 (Removal Date), the Company securities will have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of 3 years. Pursuant to ASX Guidance Note 33 Removal of Entities from the ASX Official List the Company may be automatically removed from the official list of the ASX on the Removal Date in accordance with paragraph 3.4 of ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33.

However, pursuant to paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33, ASX may grant a short extension of the 3 year deadline for the automatic removal of a long-term suspended entity if the Company can demonstrate to ASX's satisfaction that it is in the "final stages" of implementing a transaction that will lead to the resumption of trading in its securities.

For these purposes, ASX considers that "final stages" means:

  • (i) having announced the transaction to the market;
  • (ii) having signed definitive legal agreements for the transaction (including for any financing required in respect of the transaction;
  • (iii) if the transaction requires a prospectus or product disclosure statement to be lodged with ASIC, having lodged that document with ASIC and it not being the subject of a stop order or other regulatory action by ASIC;
  • (iv) if the transaction requires approval by security holders or from a governmental agency or financier, the entity having obtained all such approvals; and
  • (v) ASX otherwise being satisfied that the transaction is reasonably capable of being consummated within the period of extension.

The Company has satisfied the first requirement. The Company has entered into binding agreements in respect of the Acquisition. The Company intends to lodge a prospectus on 5 December 2017, satisfying the third requirement, and the Company intends to obtain the necessary shareholder approvals at the Annual General Meeting which is the subject of this Notice of Meeting, thereby satisfying the fourth requirement.

If the Acquisition Resolutions are passed by the shareholders, the Company considers that there are reasonable prospects that it will be in a position to satisfy the necessary requirements of the ASX under paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33 to seek a short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal of the Company from the official list of the ASX in order to complete the Acquisition and seek reinstatement to official quotation.

However, Shareholders should be aware that the decision to grant short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal is within the absolute discretion of the ASX.

Notes:

    1. The above timetable is indicative only and assumes that the ASX grants a short-term extension to the automatic removal of the Company from the official list of the ASX.
    1. The ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether to grant a short-term extension and therefore the Acquisition may not proceed if ASX exercises its discretion not to grant a short-term extension.
    1. Completion of the Acquisition is subject to shareholder approval as required under the ASX Listing Rules and therefore the Acquisition may not proceed if such shareholder approval is not obtained.
    1. The Company is required to re-comply with ASX's requirements for admission and quotation and therefore the Acquisition may not proceed if those requirements are not met.
    1. The ASX has an absolute discretion in not deciding whether to re-admit the Company to the official list and to quote its securities and therefore the Acquisition may not proceed if ASX exercises that discretion not to re-admit the Company; and
    1. Shareholders and investors should take account the above uncertainties in deciding whether to approve the Acquisition or buy or sell the Company's securities.

The purpose of the Acquisition Resolutions is to obtain Shareholder approval to enable the Company to complete the proposed Acquisition and to enable trading of the securities in the Company to be re-instated by the ASX following the Company's re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

This Explanatory Memorandum set outs the details of the proposed Acquisition and the relevant terms.

1.2 Background on the Company

Ausroc Metals Ltd was listed on the ASX on 15 September 2005 (then named "Monaro Mining NL"), and its original activities involved the exploration of minerals and development of mining tenements.

1.3 Suspension of ASX trading and Appointment of Administrator

The Company's securities were suspended from official quotation on ASX on 27 November 2014.

On 23 August 2016, Christopher Michael Williamson and David Ashley Norman Hurt were appointed joint and several liquidators of the Company pursuant to an Order of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (COR 138 of 2016) (Liquidators).

At a meeting of creditors held on 9 February 2017, the creditors of the Company resolved to appoint Christopher Michael Williamson and David Ashley Norman Hurt as voluntary administrators (Administrators).

On or about 14 July 2017, the Company entered into a deed of company arrangement and a reconstruction deed with the Administrators and the proponent of the deed of company arrangement, Caason Investments Pty Ltd (ACN 089 590 858). Accordingly, the Administrators became Deed Administrators under the deed of company arrangement.

The terms of the deed of company arrangement and a reconstruction deed were then subsequently amended on or about 12 October 2017.

The Deed Administrators estimate that the claims of the Company's Creditors are approximately \$8,720,836.45 of which \$5,848,637.50 is owing to secured creditors and \$2,872,198.95 is owing to unsecured creditors. None of the secured creditors are related parties of the Company.

On 2 November 2017, the Supreme Court of Western Australia ordered that the winding up of the Company be terminated with effect on and from 2 November 2017.

1.4 Potential Removal of the Company from the official list of the ASX

As of 6 December 2017 (Removal Date), the Company securities will have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of 3 years and the Company may be automatically removed from the official list of the ASX on the Removal Date in accordance with paragraph 3.4 of ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33.

However, pursuant to paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33, ASX may grant a short extension of the 3 year deadline for the automatic removal of a long-term suspended entity if the Company can demonstrate to ASX's satisfaction that it is in the final stages of implementing a transaction that will lead to the resumption of trading in its securities.

If the Acquisition Resolutions are passed by the shareholders, the Company considers that there are reasonable prospects that it will be in a position to satisfy the necessary requirements of the ASX under paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33 to seek a short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal of the Company from the official list of the ASX in order to complete the Acquisition and seek reinstatement to official quotation.

2. Summary of the Transaction

2.1 Background

On or about 14 July 2017, the Company entered into a deed of company arrangement and a reconstruction deed with the Administrators and the proponent of the deed of company arrangement, Caason Investments Pty Ltd (ACN 089 590 858) (Caason) to allow for the recapitalisation of the Company and ultimately the termination of the winding up of the Company.

On 8 September 2017, Caason as the proponent under the deed of company arrangement entered into a term sheet with Woomera Exploration Limited (ACN 150 741 352) (WEX) pursuant to which Caason would, to the extent possible as the proponent under the DOCA, procure that the Company acquire all ordinary shares issued in WEX (Acquisition).

The terms of the deed of company arrangement and reconstruction deed were subsequently amended on or about 12 October 2017.

Pursuant to the Deed of Company Arrangement and the Reconstruction Deed, the Company has agreed to:

  • (a) execute a deed of accession pursuant to which the Company agrees to observe, perform and be bound by all terms of the Term Sheet; and
  • (b) do all things reasonably necessary to give effect to the Term Sheet, including completing the Acquisition, immediately upon the termination of the Deed of Company Arrangement.

Once the Acquisition has been completed by the Company, WEX will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

2.2 About Caason

Caason Investments Pty Ltd (ACN 089 590 858) (Caason) is a sophisticated investments group and private family office with interest in international trade, direct investment, sustainable development and innovation across multiple sectors and diverse markets. The Caason Group has developed and acquired a portfolio of quality assets and businesses.

Caason is a secured creditor of the Company and Caason's director, Mr Craig Astill currently holds approximately 8.86% of the issued shares in the Company.

2.3 Woomera Exploration Limited (ACN 150 741 352)

WEX is a registered unlisted public company limited by shares which operates a mining business in South Australia and Western Australia with one wholly owned subsidiary, Norsa Exploration Pty Ltd (ACN 156 268 727) (Norsa).

WEX holds approximately 5,584 km² of tenements in the highly prospective Musgrave Province and Gawler Craton regions of South Australia, comprising 6 Exploration Licences (ELs) and 3 Exploration Licence Applications (ELAs). Three of the ELs and 1 ELA are located within the Musgrave Province and the remaining 3 ELs and 2 ELAs are located within the Gawler Craton. Exploration rights within these regions are tightly held with holdings by several of Australia's biggest mining companies.

WEX commenced preliminary exploration operations in May 2011 immediately following the Australian government's announcement of the relaxing of access conditions to the Woomera Prohibited Area. Exploration principally involved conducting studies of available technical information with a view to developing a good understanding of the potential of these assets.

2.4 WEX's acquisition of Volt Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 612 465 237) and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 612 730 337)

In addition to the tenements in South Australia, WEX has entered into agreements to acquire Volt Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 612

465 237) and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 612 730 337) which together own a lithium tenement package situated in Western Australia which is highly prospective for hard rock lithium and the potential for lithium rich brine style mineralisation. Upon completion of the acquisitions Volt Lithium Pty Ltd and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd those entities will become wholly owned subsidiaries of WEX in addition to Norsa.

2.5 WEX Directors

WEX's current board of directors comprise of individuals with the relevant experience and skills, including industry and business knowledge, financial management and corporate governance skills required to successfully operate a mining exploration business. The current board of directors of WEX comprise of:

  • (a) Mr Gerard Anderson (Managing Director);
  • (b) Mr Neville Martin (Non-Executive and Chairman);
  • (c) Mr Donald Triggs (Executive Director); and
  • (d) Mr David Lindh (Non-Executive Director).

2.6 Musgrave Block

On 11 September 2017, WEX entered into a binding heads of agreement with OZ Exploration Pty Ltd (ACN 137 626 914) (OZ Exploration) (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX list OZ Minerals Limited (ACN 005 482 824) (ASX:OZL)) in relation to a series of mining tenements in the Musgrave Province in South Australia (Musgrave Tenements) pursuant to which OZ Exploration Pty Ltd agrees to complete a Reverse Circulation drilling program totalling 3,850 metres on the tenements with the Musgrave Province (OZ Minerals HOA).

Figure 1 – Location of Musgrave tenements

The key terms of the OZ Minerals HOA are as follows:

  • (a) the OZ Minerals HOA is conditional on the execution of a Native Title Mining Agreement (NTMA) with the Tjayiwara Unmuru (the relevant recognised native title claimants);
  • (b) the Reverse Circulation drilling program is to be completed by OZ Exploration on or before the period of 12 months from the date that WEX gives OZ Exploration written notice that the NTMA has been entered into with the traditional owners of the relevant land (Effective Date and Stage 1 Commitment);
  • (c) on completion of the Stage 1 Commitment, OZ Exploration may elect to earn a 51% interest in the Musgrave Tenements by funding \$2,500,000 of exploration expenditure (inclusive of the Stage 1 Commitment expenditure) within 18 months of the Effective Date (Stage 2 Commitment);

  • (d) upon OZ Exploration meeting its Stage 2 Commitment, OZ Exploration will be entitled to a 51% interest in the Musgrave Tenements and the parties must execute all documents required under the South Australian Mining Act 1978 (SA) to effect a transfer of a 51% interest in the Musgrave Tenements from WEX to OZ Exploration;

  • (e) if OZ Exploration becomes entitled to the 51% interest in the Musgrave Tenements a joint venture will come into effect between the parties with the initial joint venture interest being: OZ Exploration 51% and WEX 49%;
  • (f) within 60 days of the commencement of the joint venture, OZ Exploration may, by written notice to WEX, elect to earn a further 24% interest in the Musgrave Tenements by spending a further \$5,000,0000 on exploration within 24 months of the commencement of the joint venture (Stage 3 Commitment); and
  • (g) upon OZ Exploration meeting its Stage 3 Commitment, OZ Exploration will become entitled to hold a 75% interest in the Musgrave Tenements and the parties must execute all documents required under the South Australian Mining Act 1978 (SA) to effect such outcome.

2.7 Current Tenements

Apart from WEXs tenements in the Musgrave Province (which are subject to the OZ Minerals HOA), all of the South Australian tenements are currently 100% owned by WEX. Upon completion of the acquisition of Volt Lithium Pty Ltd and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd, the Western Australian hard rock and lithium rich brine projects will also be 100% controlled by WEX.

WEX's tenements provide the Company with strong exposure to several strategic and expanding metals markets, namely copper (± gold, uranium), nickel, cobalt and lithium.

The Department of Premier and Cabinet of South Australia – Mineral Resources Division (Department) has confirmed that the Department will progress EL 5041 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00156) and EL 5042 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00157) to grant.

The Department has also indicated that they will grant EL 5040 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00155), EL 5113 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00182) and EL 5116 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00183), however, WEX is obliged to reduce the area of its holding by 25%. In order to meet the reduction requirement, WEX has surrendered all of its previously held EL 5286 in the Eastern Musgrave and submitted partial surrender documents to reduce EL 5116 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00183) by 446 km² and EL 5287 by 90 km².

As a result, it is anticipated that EL 5116 (Subsequent ELA 2017/00183) will be reduced to a total area of 462 km² and EL 5287 will be reduced to a total area of 505 km². Final confirmation of a reduction in area is expected in a subsequent confirmation from the Department.

2.9 Summary of WEX's tenements

(a) Musgrave Block Alcurra Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Project (SA)

The Musgrave Province is considered highly prospective for intrusion hosted nickel copper sulphide deposits within the Giles Complex, which is part of the Warakurna Large Igneous Province, one of the largest layered mafic to ultramafic igneous provinces in the world.

WEX's tenements in the Musgrave Province (EL 5041, EL 5042 & EL 5287) are considered by WEX to be highly prospective for Nebo-Babel style magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide and are the subject of binding OZ Minerals HOA providing for Oz Minerals to farm-in to those tenements under a work commitment arrangement. There is also recognised potential for base metal mineralisation.

The Alcurra Project consists of a large number of magnetic/gravity/EM geophysical targets supported by geochemical sampling and some drilling. Five drill ready targets including the Cavanagh target will be priority drill tested under the Farm-in Agreement under the OZ Minerals HOA. The details of the OZ Minerals HOA appear in Section 2.6.

(b) The Gawler Craton tenements

The Gawler Craton is considered highly prospective for a spectrum of mineral deposits including IOCGs, ISCGs, Pb‐Zn, Au and Ag, which are temporally linked to the Hiltaba Suite and Gawler Range Volcanics (GRV) magmatic event (1595‐ 1570Ma). These include the formation of the well known IOCG deposits of Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Hillside which demonstrate the high potential for further IOCG type deposits in the region.

While there has been a significant amount of exploration and discoveries made in the Gawler Craton, there is a vast quantity of almost untouched exploration space which remains available. For many of these areas, the remote location and the presence of cover has hindered exploration activities. The relaxing of access conditions by the Australian Government in respect of the Woomera Prohibited Area has created a unique opportunity to access a prospective region within the Woomera Prohibited Area which has been subjected to only limited exploration in the past. The Woomera Prohibited Area is subject to a co-existence protocol with the Department of Defence which has relaxed previous restrictions and provides access for non-Defence users apart from certain excluded periods

Under a co-existence framework, the Department of Defence remains the primary user of the Woomera Prohibited Area. The Woomera Prohibited Area is divided into "green", "amber" and "red" access zones, each offering different levels of access or time-share to non-Defence users.

Four of WEX's Gawler Craton Tenements, being EL5113, EL5116, ELA 2012/00119 and ELA 2017/00139 fall within the Woomera Prohibited Area as follows:

  • (a) EL5113 is located within the "Infrequent Defence Use" exclusion zone (Green Zone) in which WEX will have a presumption of access, however, WEX may be required to evacuate for up to 56 days a year; and
  • (b) EL 5116 and ELA 2012/00119 and ELA 2012/00120 are located within the "Periodic Defence Use" exclusion zone (Amber Zone 2) which could exclude the WEX from conducting exploration operations on the tenement area for up to 70 days a year and requires the Company to give 3 months' notice of exploration activity.

None of the above regulatory requirements in respect of the Woomera Prohibited Area are anticipated to adversely affect the WEX's exploration plans.

(i) Gawler Craton Carulinia IOCGU Project (SA)

The Carulinia project (EL 5040) is WEX's only Gawwler Craton tenement that falls outside the Woomera Prohibited Area and is situated approximately 10 km west of Oodnadatta on the Torrens Hinge Zone which is a complex structure defining the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton.

The primary target on EL 5040 is a large coincident gravity (14 mGal) and magnetic (1000nT) anomaly which has striking similarities to those signatures over Olympic Dam and Carrapateena. There is a thick cover sequence in the project area that has been a deterrent to extensive investigations. Only two drill holes have intersected basement and the vast majority of the tenement remains unexplored.

Recent 3D magnetic and gravity inversion modelling undertaken by WEX indicate that the Mount Carulinia anomaly is composed of a highly magnetic core, surrounded by high density gravity shell. None of the historic drill holes previously undertaken by other companies intersected the high grade gravity shell associated with the target.

(ii) Gawler Craton Labyrinth Ni-Cu Project (SA)

The Labyrinth project (EL 5113) covers an area of 266 km² and lies within Woomera Prohibited Area in the central Gawler Craton approximately 30 Kms north-west of Kingoonya and 40 Kms north-east of Tarcoola between the Stuart Highway and the Adelaide-Darwin rail. The prospectivity of a large portion of EL 5113 remains unknown, due to the limited exploration completed over the tenement to date, however previous drilling has revealed the potential for Ni-Cu sulphide and rare earth mineralisation in peridotites and basalts respectively.

The western portion of the tenement is highly prospective for gold mineralisation. Elsewhere on the tenement, there exists the potential for Lithium Brines with Lake Labryinth.

(iii) Gawler Craton Nawa Project (SA)

This project is situated within EL 5116 and ELA 2012/00119 and ELA 2012/00120, all within the Woomera Prohibited Area. The presence of a Hiltaba Suite in the project area highlights the potential for a variety of mineralisation styles including IOCG deposits. There is also the potential for BIF hosted gold mineralisation.

(c) Yilgarn Craton and Pilbara Craton tenements

WEX, through its acquisition of Volt Lithium Pty Ltd and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd, will acquire approximately 544 km² of tenement within the Yilgarn Craton and Pilbara Craton (including the Western Australia tenements under application set out in section 2.8(b)). Six of the granted tenements and one of the tenement applications are located within the Yilgarn Craton and the two remaining granted tenements and one tenement application are located within Pilbara Craton.

The Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons are both prospective for hard rock spodumene mineralization. The Yilgarn Craton contains a number of non-perennial salt lakes considered to be prospective for lithium enriched brine mineralization. This prospective for lithium enriched brine mineralization is supported by a regional analysis by Geoscience Australia ranking the Yilgarn as one of several regions favourable to host lithium enriched brines.

(i) Pilagngoora Lithium Project (WA)

The Pilgangoora 'hard rock' lithium project (E45/4790, E45/4789 & E45/4796) is a highly prospective tenement package located in the Pilbara Craton.

WEX's Pilgangoora tenements are proximal to the Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project of Pilbara Minerals Limited which has an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 156.3 million tonnes grading 1.25% Li2O (lithia) and 128ppm Ta2O5 (tantalite) containing 1.57 million tonnes of lithium oxide and 44.2 million pounds of Ta2O5 making it one of the larger pegmatite hosted Lithium projects in the world (ASX:PLS Announcement, 25 January 2017).

South-west along the Wodgina-Strelley shear is the Wodgina Lithium Mine which has announced a resource 120Mt @ 1.28% Li20 (ASX:MIN Announcement, 28 April 2017) and to the east, Altura Mining has announced a resource of 40.3Mt @ 1.0% Li20 (ASX:AJM Announcement, 30 January 2017).

(ii) Mt Cattlin Lithium Project (WA)

WEX's Mount Cattlin Lithium project comprises two exploration licences (E74/597 and E74/599) covering an area of approximately 96 km² and is located immediately north of Ravensthorpe, WA.

The WEX tenements lie on the boundary of the Ravensthorpe greenstone belt where the Geological Survey of WA have noted that structurally controlled lithium hosted pegmatites are widespread. The tenements are considered to be prospective for hard rock lithium mineralisation based on geological and structural analogues drawn from the nearby Mount Cattlin lithium discovery of Galaxy Lithium Australia Limited. WEX considers that structurally controlled lithium hosted pegmatites are widespread through the area of these tenements and that early stage exploration is warranted.

(iii) WA Lakes Lithium Project (WA)

The lithium rich brine projects (Lake Dundas E63/1804, Lake Cowan E15/1532, Lake Dumbleyung E70/4870,

Lake Sharpe E74/598 and Peak Charles Salt Lake E74/596) lie within the Yilgarn Craton, which is identified as a region rated favourably to host lithium enriched brines in salt lakes. The prospects for these lakes to host lithium enriched brines varies from lake to lake however WEX considers that each lake warrants further evaluation.

E70/4870 is within an environmentally sensitive area with Dumbleyung Lake Nature Park and Coblinine Nature Reserve covering a significant portion of the tenement.

If the Casual Vacancy Directors are appointed to the Board prior to the Meeting, then it is proposed that the each of the Casual Vacancy Directors (with exception to Mr Gerard Anderson) be re-appointed as directors of the Company in accordance with Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15.

If, however, the Casual Vacancy Directors are not appointed to the Board prior to the Meeting, then each of the Casual Vacancy Directors (with exception to Mr Gerard Anderson) seek election to the Board with effect on and from the date of the Meeting.

In any event, once the Casual Vacancy Directors (excluding Mr Gerrard Anderson) are appointed to the Board they intend to appoint Mr Gerard Anderson as Managing Director.

See Sections 15.2, 16.2, 17.2, 18.2 and 19.2 of this Explanatory Memorandum for further information regarding the skills, qualifications and experience of the Managing Director and each of the Casual Vacancy Directors.

2.16 Risk Factors

If the Acquisition is to be completed, the business, assets and operations of WEX, and the inherent risks associated with WEX's business, will have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. As a result, the performance of WEX can impact the value of an investment in the Company and its securities.

The Board of the Company will manage the risks associated with the WEX business, assets and operations by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. However, some of the risks are highly unpredictable and the extent to which the Board can manage such risks after the Acquisition may be limited.

Based on the information currently available, there are key risk factors affecting the Company, Shareholders of the Company and WEX's business, assets and operations as follows:

(a) (Exploration and development risk) the business of exploration, project development and mining contains risks by its very nature. To prosper, a mining exploration and development company needs to have successful exploration operations and acquisition of reserves; it must be competent in the design and construction of efficient production/processing facilities, and must be competent in its operations and managerial performance and must be proficient in the marketing of product.

There can be no assurance that funds spent on exploration will result in the discovery of an economic resource and even if an apparently viable deposit or economic resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be viably or commercially exploited.

(b) (Operational Risks) The operations of WEX may be affected by various factors including failures in internal controls and financial fraud. To the extent that such matters may be within the control of WEX, the risks will be addressed through management and supervision controls.

The exploration programs of WEX and project development and mining operations may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of WEX. These may include adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, plant and equipment, and events involving fire or explosions and the occurrence of other incidents beyond the control of WEX.

(c) (Tenement Risks) WEX's interest in tenements situated in South Australia and Western Australia are governed by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of leases and licences by the relevant States. The maintaining of tenements, obtaining subsequent licences or renewals, or getting tenements granted, often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining the required statutory approvals for its proposed activities.

Despite WEX's intention to be in full compliance with all obligations applicable to the tenements, there can be no guarantee that tenements that are subject to renewal will be renewed or that expenditure commitments and other conditions that apply to the tenements will be satisfied.

  • (d) (Woomera Prohibited Area access) as set out in section 2.9(b), four of WEX's Gawler Craton Tenements (EL5113, EL5116, ELA 2012/00119 and ELA 2017/00139) fall within the Woomera Prohibited Area which is subject to a coexistence arrangement with the Department of Defence which may occasionally restrict WEX's access to areas within the Woomera Prohibited Area. As a result, the operations of WEX may be affected by evacuation periods whereby WEX may not be permitted to enter parts of the Woomera Prohibited Area.
  • (e) (Ability to exploit successful discoveries) It may not always be possible for the Company or WEX to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in with the tenement areas. Such exploration would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploration may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company's.
  • (f) (Environmental Approvals Risk) WEX is reliant on environmental approvals in South Australia and Western Australia to enable it to proceed with the exploration and any development of the tenements. There is no guarantee that the required approvals will be granted and failure by WEX to obtain the relevant approvals, or any delay in the award or transfer of the approvals, may materially and adversely affect the ability of WEX to proceed with the proposed exploration and development operations.

  • (g) (Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage) Many of the areas the subject of WEX's tenements or applications for tenements are subject in whole or in part to native title determinations, or claims made by native title parties and may contains aboriginal heritage sites. The ability of WEX to gain access to a tenement and to undertake exploration or development operations on that tenement may be delayed or prohibited in the event that applicable consents cannot be obtained from the relevant native title parties.

  • (h) (Grant of Future Authorisation to Explore and Mine) If WEX discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that it then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licences and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There can be no guarantee that WEX will be able to obtain all required approvals, licences and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, WEX's operational and financial performance may be adversely affected.
  • (i) (Future Funding) The funds the Company proposes to raise under the Prospectus are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of WEX. Further funding may be required for example if costs exceed estimates or if there are revenue shortfalls. Additional funding will likely be required for further exploration activities beyond the immediate objectives or to acquire other assets. This may require the Company to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders or may be undertaken at lower prices than the offer price under the Prospectus. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all at the relevant time. Any inability to obtain sufficient funding for the Company and WEX's activities and future projects may result in the delay or cancellation or certain activities or projects.
  • (j) (Reliance on key personnel) The Company's success and growth depends, in part, on its ability to retain and attract key personnel. The Company may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent market salary structures. The Company's future, like most businesses, also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace.

The inability (if any) to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

(k) (Government Regulation) The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company and WEX are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters.

No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development or the operations of the Company. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

(l) (Removal from Official List) As of 6 December 2017 (Removal Date), the Company securities will have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of 3 years and the Company may be automatically removed from the official list of the ASX on the Removal Date in accordance with paragraph 3.4 of ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33.

However, pursuant to paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33, ASX may grant a short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal of a long-term suspended entity if the Company can demonstrate to ASX's satisfaction that it is in the final stages of implementing a transaction that will lead to the resumption of trading in its securities. For these purposes, "final stages" means:

  • (i) having announced the transaction to the market;
  • (ii) having signed definitive legal agreements for the transaction (including for any financing required in respect of the transaction;
  • (iii) if the transaction requires a prospectus or product disclosure statement to be lodged with ASIC, having lodged that document with ASIC and it not being the subject of a stop order or other regulatory action by ASIC;
  • (iv) if the transaction requires approval by security holders or from a governmental agency or financier, the entity having obtained all such approvals; and
  • (v) ASX otherwise being satisfied that the transaction is reasonably capable of being consummated within the period of extension.

While there are significant time constraints in reaching the "final stages" of implementing a transaction that will lead to the resumption of trading in its securities before the Removal Date, if the Acquisition Resolutions are passed by the shareholders, the Company considers that there are reasonable prospects that it will be in a position to satisfy the necessary requirements of the ASX under paragraph 3.4 of the ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 33 to seek a short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal of the Company from the official list of the ASX in order to complete the Acquisition and seek reinstatement to official quotation. However, Shareholders should be aware that the decision to grant short extension of the 3-year deadline for the automatic removal is within the absolute discretion of the ASX.

(m) (Re-quotation of Shares on ASX) The proposed Acquisition constitutes a significant change in the scale of the Company's activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX Listing rules as if it were seeking admission to the official list of the ASX for the first time.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX in order for the Shares to be requoted on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until all such requirements are satisfied (if at all). Accordingly, Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares if the Company remains suspended until such time as it re-complies with the ASX Listing Rules.

(n) (Dilution Risk) As at the date of this Notice, the current Shareholders of the Company hold 304,773,963 Shares which, subject to the Acquisition Resolutions will be consolidated into 6,095,480 Shares. It is anticipated that upon completion of the Acquisition, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 4.79% of the issued capital in the Company (assuming the maximum amount of \$7,500,000 is raised in the Capital Raising).

There is a risk that the interests of Shareholders will be further diluted in the event that the Company undertakes any future raisings to fund the development of its business.

  • (o) (Contractual Risk) Under the Deed of Company Arrangement and Term Sheet, the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital in WEX. The ability for the Company to complete the Acquisition and achieve its objectives stated in this Notice will depend on each of the condition precedent being satisfied and the performance by the parties of their obligations under the abovementioned agreements. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which may be costly.
  • (p) (Share Market Risk) If re-admitted to the official list of the ASX, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors which are outside the control of the Company. These risks include:
  • (i) general economic outlook;
  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
  • (iii) currency fluctuations;
  • (iv) commodity price fluctuations;
  • (v) general market sector performance;
  • (vi) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
  • (vii) terrorism and other hostilities

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company, WEX, Shareholders or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company's securities.

2.17 Company's Intentions

The Company's main objective is to provide a return to Shareholders through the successful exploration for, and development of, economically viable mineral deposits.

In seeking to achieve its objectives, the Company will identify, fund, acquire and develop:

  • (a) Mineral deposits in South Australia; and
  • (b) Lithium projects in Western Australia;

and to undertake those activities either as sole explorer, funders and manager of the relevant operations or through farm-in agreements and joint venture arrangements with larger companies (for example, the arrangements contemplated under the OZ Minerals HOA).

2.18 Post-Acquisition Ownership Structure

If the Acquisition Resolutions are approved and the Acquisition is completed, the overall ownership structure of the Company will be as follows:

2.19 Control implications of the Acquisition

Completion of the Acquisition and the issue of shares contemplated by this Notice of Meeting will not result in any person acquiring control of, or a voting power of 20% or more in, the Company. However, the proposed issue of new shares in connection with the Acquisition will all have a significant dilutionary effect on the holdings of existing shareholders.

2.20 Advantages of proposed Acquisition

The Deed Administrators are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to Shareholders' decision on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (a) As set out in sections 2.7 to 2.9, the Company will be exposed to series of tenements which are highly prospective for a spectrum of mineral deposits;
  • (b) completion of the proposed Acquisition is expected to cause the Company's securities to re-commence trading on the ASX;
  • (c) the Company's ability to raise funds and attract strategic investors may be improved; and
  • (d) the appointment of the Casual Vacancy Directors and their subsequent re-election will add relevant experience, skills and networks to the Board to assist with the growth and successful operation of the Company.

2.21 Disadvantages proposed Acquisition

The Deed Administrators are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to Shareholders' decision on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

  • (a) As set out in section 2.16, there are inherent risks associated with exploration and mining activities which will have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. There is no guarantee that the Acquisition will result in increased share value for Shareholders; and
  • (b) the proposed Acquisition will result in the issue of new Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) in respect of the Capital Raising, to WEX Shareholders, Caason (or Caason Nominees), Hunt, Lithium Shareholders and Trident Capital which will all have a significant dilutionary effect on the holdings of existing Shareholders.

2.22 Recommendations of the Deed Administrators

The Deed Administrators recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of all of the Acquisition Resolutions to allow the Company to complete the Acquisition on the basis that the Deed Administrators consider the Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Deed Administrators note that, given that the Company's Shares were last traded on ASX on 27 November 2014, the price at which Shares have historically traded on ASX are not considered a reliable basis to assess the value of the Shares

proposed to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition. Further, due to the Company's current state of affairs, the lack of profit history and the immediate lack of a reliable future cash flow from any remaining assets, maintainable earnings are not considered a reliable basis to assess the value of the Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition.

In addition, the Deed Administrators also note that in the event that the Acquisition Resolutions are not passed by the shareholders, it is likely that the Company will be removed from the official list of the ASX given that the Company will not be able to demonstrate to the ASX's satisfaction before the Removal Date that the Company is in the final stages of implementing a transaction that will lead to the resumption of trading of the Company's securities which would assist in justifying the extension of the Removal Date. If the Company is removed from the official list of the ASX, the ability for shareholders to realise their investment may be significantly hindered.

2.23 Reinstatement to Official Quotation

The Company will acquire WEX which holds a series of exploration tenements in South Australia and Western Australia upon WEX's acquisition of Volt Lithium Pty Ltd and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd. As a result, the scale of the Company's operation will change. Accordingly, subject to Shareholders approving the Acquisition Resolutions and upon Completion of the Acquisition (including the non-underwritten Capital Raising under the Prospectus), the Company intends to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules to obtain re-instatement of the Company's securities to official quotation.

Completion of the Acquisition should allow the Company to meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules, and enable the securities in the Company to recommence trading on the ASX. However, Shareholders should be aware that the decision to reinstate the Company's securities to official quotation is within the absolute discretion of the ASX.

2.24 Plans for the Company if the Acquisition Resolutions are not passed

If the Acquisition Resolutions are not passed and the Acquisition of WEX is not completed, the Deed Administrators anticipate that the Company will be removed from the official list of the ASX in accordance with section 3.4 of ASX Guidance Note 33 Removal of Entities from the ASX Official List.

3. Item 1 – Financial Reports

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act and as required by ASX in connection with the Acquisition, the Annual Financial Report, including the Deed Administrators'/Liquidators Report, Independent Auditor's Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 ("2017 Annual Financial Report") will be laid before the Meeting.

There is no requirement for shareholders to approve the 2017 Annual Financial Report. However, the Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the operations and management of the Company. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions also the conduct of the audit and the content of the auditor's report.

4. Resolution 1 - (Advisory) to Adopt the Remuneration Report

4.1 Remuneration Report

The Board has submitted its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding advisory resolution.

If there is a vote of 25% or more against the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, and another vote of 25% or more at the next AGM ("Second Strike"), then a resolution will be put to Shareholders at the next AGM to put the Board (other than the Managing Director) up for re-election ("Spill Resolution"). If the Spill Resolution passes, then the Company must hold an extraordinary general meeting within 90 days at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were Directors at the time the Remuneration Report that received the Second Strike will retire and may resubmit themselves for re-election.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Deed Administrators'/Liquidators Report section of the 2017 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report, amongst other things:

  • (a) explains the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Key Management Personnel of the Company;
  • (b) explains the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;
  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Key Management Personnel of the Company; and
  • (d) details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of Key Management Personnel of the

Company.

The Deed Administrators'/Liquidators Report is available on pages 2 to 7 in the Company's Annual Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

4.2 Voting restrictions on Key Management Personnel and their proxies and Closely Related Parties

A voting exclusion statement is set out under Resolution 1 in the Notice of Meeting.

4.3 Deed Administrators' recommendation

The Deed Administrators recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

5. Resolution 2 – Consolidation of Capital

5.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares on issue on a one (1) new Share for each fifty (50) existing Shares basis (Consolidation).

If Resolution 2 is passed, immediately prior to the issue of Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising (Resolution 11), and assuming no new Securities are otherwise issued before the Consolidation takes effect, Shares on issue in the Company will be reduced from 304,773,963 to 6,095,480 (subject to rounding). There are no options on issue in the Company.

The proposed Consolidation will reduce the number of Shares on issue, creating a more appropriate capital structure to undertake the Acquisition, and to provide greater flexibility to undertake capital initiatives thereafter.

The Directors intend to implement the Consolidation prior to the issue of Shares and Options pursuant to the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Consolidation is to occur two (2) Business Days after the Meeting, being 29 November 2017 (Consolidation Date).

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution and is subject to each of the Acquisition Resolutions being passed.

5.2 Applicable Corporations Act provision

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

5.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Shares that can be evenly divided by 50. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share.

5.4 Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company, the Directors and the Proposed Directors and their advisers do not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation or the Acquisition Resolutions.

5.5 Holding statements

From the Consolidation Date all holding statements for previously quoted Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post-Consolidation basis.

After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares proposed to be quoted to be issued to holders of those Shares.

It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to disposal.

5.6 Effect on capital structure

If this Resolution is approved, every 50 Shares on issue will be consolidated into 1 Share. Overall, this will result in the number of Shares on issue reducing from 304,773,963 to approximately 6,095,480.

As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual holdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject to rounding). Accordingly, the Consolidation itself will have no material effect on the percentage interest in the Company of each Shareholder.

5.7 Indicative timetable

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (as set out in Appendix 7A (paragraph 8) of the Listing Rules. The dates are indicative only and may change, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

Event Target date

5.8 Deed Administrators' recommendation

The Deed Administrators recommend the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2, on the basis that the Deed Administrators consider the Acquisition Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company.

If Resolution 2 (together with the other Acquisition Resolutions) are not passed, then, the Casual Vacancy Directors may have limited options but to place the Company in liquidation.

6. Resolution 3 – Change to Scale of Activities

6.1 Background

Resolution 3 seeks approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 11.1.2 for the significant change to the scale of the activities of the Company as a result of the Acquisition. See sections 2.6 to 2.9 for the operations proposed to be undertaken by the Company upon completion of the Acquisition.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 3 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

6.2 Listing Rule 11.1 Requirements

Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules sets out the requirements to be followed by a listed company that proposes to make any significant change in the nature or scale of its activities. The Acquisition of WEX by the Company will have the effect of increasing the scale of the Company's activities.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to complete the Acquisition. As the Acquisition will change the scale of the Company's activities, the Company must:

  • (a) under Listing Rule 11.1.1, notify ASX of the proposed change;
  • (b) under Listing Rule 11.1.2, obtain shareholder approval to undertake the change; and
  • (c) under Listing Rule 11.1.3, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the Company was applying for admission to the official list of ASX, if required by ASX.

The ASX has confirmed that the Company will need to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. The Company proposes to undertake the Capital Raising pursuant to Resolution 11 to meet some of the requirements of re-compliance.

The Company does not anticipate that the completion of the Acquisition will result in the Company needing to borrow funds or raise any further capital in the short term.

See Section 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum for further information on the Acquisition and the likely affect that the Acquisition will have on the Company.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Approval of Acquisition of Woomera Exploration Ltd

7.1 General

As outlined in Section 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company is proposing to acquire all of the issued capital in WEX from the WEX Shareholders.

The Acquisition is subject to the Conditions set out in Section 2.10 above, including the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval.

A detailed description of the proposed Acquisition and WEX's business is outlined in Section 2 above and in the Independent Geologist's Report.

Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Given the Consideration Shares to be issued under Resolution 4 will exceed the 15% threshold set out in Listing Rule 7.1, and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Consideration Shares to the WEX Shareholders as consideration for the Acquisition.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 4 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

7.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The maximum number of securities the Company will issue under Resolution 4 is 68,259,459 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis).
  • (b) The Consideration Shares will be issued to the WEX Shareholders.
  • (c) Each of the Related WEX Shareholders are Related Parties of the Company as a result of the application of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act, as the Company has reasonable grounds to believe that each of the Related WEX Shareholders are likely to become a Director of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition. With exception to any of the Related WEX Shareholders (and their respective parents and children (if any)), none of the WEX Shareholders are related parties of the Company.

  • (d) The Consideration Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow) and it is intended that the Consideration Shares will be issued on the same date, being the date of Completion.

  • (e) The Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they are being issued as part of the consideration for the Acquisition. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Consideration Shares. One (1) Consideration Share is to be issued by the Company for one (1) ordinary Share in WEX.
  • (f) The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.

7.3 Listing Rule 10.11 & Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Each of Neville Martin, David Lindh, Donald Triggs, and Gerard Anderson ("Related WEX Shareholders") are Related Parties of the Company as a result of the application of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act, as the Company has reasonable grounds to believe that each of the Related WEX Shareholders are likely to become a Director of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition. However, Shareholder approval of the issue of Consideration Shares to the Related WEX Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 is not required. This is because Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 6, provides an exception to the application of Listing Rule 10.11 where a relevant person is a Related Party by reason only of the transaction which is the reason for the issue of the securities and the application to it of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must not, subject to certain exceptions, give a financial benefit to a Related Party without approval of the Company's members.

A financial benefit as defined in section 229 of the Corporations Act includes issuing shares to a Related Party.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a Related Party, where (notably) the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the Related Party were dealing at arm's length. The terms of the Acquisition, including the issue of Consideration Shares to the Related WEX Shareholders and the proposed appointment of Neville Martin, David Lindh, Donald Triggs, and Gerard Anderson to the Board, were negotiated between the Company and WEX at arm's length. The Related WEX Shareholders will receive an issue of Consideration Shares which are the subject of Resolution 4 on arm's length terms.

Note: The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. Further details regarding the use of the funds raised from the Capital Raising will be set out in the Prospectus. Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including the outcomes of exploration success, operational and development activities, regulatory developments, and market and general economic conditions. In light of this, the Company reserves its right to alter the way the funds are applied.

14.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Given the Capital Raising Shares to be issued under Resolution 11 will exceed the 15% threshold set out in Listing Rule 7.1, and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 11 is subject to the approval of each of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

14.3 Technical 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 the proposed issue of the Capital Raising Shares:

  • (c) the Capital Raising Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification to Listing Rules), and it is intended that the Capital Raising Shares will be issued on the same date, being on or before the date of Completion of the Acquisition;
  • (d) the Capital Raising Shares will be issued to under the Prospectus;
  • (e) the Capital Raising is not underwritten;
  • (f) the Capital Raising Shares be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on a post-Consolidation basis on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares on issue, and will rank equally with all other existing Shares on issue;
  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice accompanying the Explanatory Memorandum.

SCHEDULE 3 – WEX AUDITED ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDING 30 JUNE 2017 AND 30 JUNE 2016

Financial Report

Woomera Exploration Limited

Year Ended 30 June 2017

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

The Directors present their report together with the financial report of Woomera Exploration Limited ("the Company or WEX") for the year ended 30 June 2017.

Principal activities

The Company holds a number of exploration licences in South Australia and engages in exploration activities including identifying future drill targets and maintaining its tenements in good standing. The Company proposes to undertake further exploration activities on such tenements in the future subject to further capital raisings.

The Company is working towards a listing on the ASX either by way of an IPO or a back door listing, the timing of which will depend on a number of factors including market conditions and satisfaction of regulatory requirements.

Review and results of operations

During the financial year, the Company entered into binding terms sheets to acquire 100% of two private companies, Volt Lithium Pty Ltd and Liquid Lithium Pty Ltd. These companies hold 10 lithium tenements (2 granted licences and 8 applications), situated in Western Australia. Three of the tenements are in the Pilbara region and are within the Pilgangoora province, which has proven lithium resources as spodumene bearing pegmatites. The Pilgangoora tenements lie within the same granitoid complex that hosts the 129Mt spodumene deposit of Pilbara Minerals Limited.

The other 7 tenements are in the vicinity of the Ravensthorpe/Norseman region of WA. Two of the Ravensthorpe tenements are near the Mt Cattlin spodumene mine. The other tenements overlay Lakes Sharpe, Dundas, Cowan, Dumbleyung and Peak Charles, and have been identified by Geoscience Australia for their high concentrations of lithium in brine.

WEX has agreed to pay to the vendors a total of \$500,000 and to issue 6.25 million WEX shares by way of consideration, and the transactions are conditional on securing an ASX Listing for WEX.

The net loss of the Company after income tax for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 was \$94,228 (2016: \$42,328).

Significant changes in the state of affairs

As part of the preparation for a proposed IPO or back door listing, WEX completed a 53:100 consolidation during the financial year (i.e. 53 new shares were issued for every 100 shares held)("Consolidation"). The Consolidation reduced the then current 123,275,242 shares on issue (calculated on a fully diluted basis) to a more IPO manageable 65,335,878. The Consolidation was recommended by WEX's financial advisers in order to enhance the Company's proposed offering and to avoid any overreach with the pre IPO valuation.

There have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company other than the issue of additional shares following the completion of seed capital raisings.

Dividends paid or recommended

No dividends have been paid or provided by the Company.

After balance date events

The Company entered into a binding heads of agreement with Oz Exploration Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed OZ Minerals Limited) ("OZE") pursuant to which OZE has agreed to explore our Eastern Musgrave province tenements (ELs 5041, 5042 and 5287 and ELA 2017/0039)("Tenements") via a farmin arrangement and joint venture.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

The key terms of the OZE transaction are as follows:

  • OZE will complete a Reverse Circulation drilling program totalling approximately 3,850m on the Tenements within the first 12 months of the grant of native title access ("Stage 1 Commitment");
  • On completion of the Stage 1 Commitment, OZE may elect to earn a 51% interest in the Tenements by funding \$2.5 million of exploration expenditure (inclusive of the Stage 1 Commitment expenditure) within a further 6 months ("Stage 2 Commitment"), following such earn-in the parties will form a JV;
  • Within 60 days of commencing the JV, OZE may elect by notice in writing to earn a further 24% interest in the Tenements by spending a further \$5 million on exploration within a further two years (securing a 75% interest for total expenditure of \$7.5 million);
  • WEX will manage the exploration during the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Commitment periods pursuant to the directions made by an exploration committee established by the parties;
  • During the JV period, OZE will be solely responsible for exploration programs and budgets;
  • OZE will be the first manager of the JV and shall remain so while it still holds the larger JV interest.

The Company has also entered into a binding term sheet with Caason Investments Pty Ltd ("Caason") with respect to a proposed back door listing of the Company's shares via ASX listed Ausroc Metals Limited (ASX:ARK)("ARK"). ARK is an ASX listed company which is currently the subject of a Deed of Company Arrangement. Caason is the largest creditor of ARK and has agreed to procure ARK to acquire 100% of the issued shares of WEX which will then issue that same number of shares in ARK to the WEX shareholders upon readmission to the ASX.

The existing debts of ARK will be extinguished as part of the transaction. WEX has also agreed to appoint a Board nominee of Caason to the merged entity.

There has not arisen in the interval between 30 June 2017 and the date of this report any other item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future years.

Likely developments

Plans are well underway for WEX to seek a back door listing of its shares via ARK in early 2018. This will depend on the successful completion of a capital raising. Although there can be no certainty that the proposed back door will be achieved, the WEX Board believes that the Company has good prospects for a successful outcome.

It is proposed that ARK will raise up to \$7 million via a prospectus in conjunction with its readmission to the ASX. The minimum subscription is expected to be \$4 million. Sequoia Corporate Finance Pty Ltd has entered into a mandate letter with WEX to act as Lead Manager for the back door listing or IPO. It will be necessary to raise the minimum subscription in order to achieve the readmission of ARK to the ASX.

The operations of the Company are not subject to any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or a State or Territory. To the best of the Company's knowledge no member of the Company has incurred any material environmental liability during the year.

NOTE 1 - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This general purpose financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Woomera Exploration Limited is an unlisted public company, registered and domiciled in Australia. Woomera Exploration Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 were approved and authorised by the Board of Directors on October 2017.

The Financial Report has been prepared on an accruals basis, and is based on historical costs, modified by the measurement at fair value of selected on-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are summarised below.

(a) Operating segment

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the Board of Directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the Board.

The Company aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in the nature of the minerals targeted.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria, as prescribed by AASB 8, are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 8 – Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the Board in allocating resources have concluded that at this time there are no separately identifiable segments.

(b) Finance income and expense

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains on disposal of financial assets and changes in fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss. Finance expenses comprise changes in the fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses on financial assets.

Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method. All income is stated net of goods and services tax (GST).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

(c) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that right of tenure is current and those costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area (or, alternatively by its sale) or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Refer key judgements – note 1(k)(ii)

(d) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as 'fair value through profit and loss', in which case the costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value or amortised cost using the interest method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settle, between knowledgeable willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets except for those not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at cost.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

(e) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss.

Where it is not probable to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(f) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date which are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(g) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the reporting period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost.

(h) Income Tax

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements.

Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set-off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

(j) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(k) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

i) Key estimates – impairment

The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

ii) Key judgements – exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

(l) Adoption of the new and revised accounting standards

The Company has adopted the following revisions and amendments to AASB's issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Company's financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 July 2016:

  • AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations;
  • AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation;
  • AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle;

  • AASB 2014-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) – Application of AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010); and
  • AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality

Management has reviewed the requirements of the above standards and has concluded that there was no effect on the classification or presentation of balances.

(m) Recently issued accounting standards to be applied in future accounting periods

The accounting standards that have not been early adopted for the period ended 30 June 2016, but will be applicable to the Company in future reporting periods are detailed below. Apart from these standards, we have considered other accounting standards that will be applicable in future reporting periods, however they have been considered insignificant to the Company.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully raising additional capital and/or the support of director related entities for the provision of working capital loans.

If additional funds are not raised the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the Company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in this financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 17 in the financial report which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of \$94,228 during the year ended 30 June 2017 and had net cash outflows from operations and investing activities of \$169,992 as at 30 June 2017.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

NOTE 1 - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following report covers Woomera Exploration Limited and its controlled entities (The Group), an unlisted public Company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Basis of preparation $(a)$

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting reduced disclosure requirements of the Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) and the Corporation Act 2001. The company is a for-profit-entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Income Tax $(b)$

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred income tax (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax (expense)/benefit is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Income Statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

NOTE 1 - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

$(c)$ Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

$(d)$ Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

$(e)$ Exploration, development and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that right of tenure is current and those costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area (or, alternatively by its sale) or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Accumulated costs, in relation to an abandoned area, are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

$(f)$ New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 14 - EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

There has not arisen in the interval between 30 June 2016 and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future years.

NOTE 15 - COMPANY DETAILS

The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is:

92 Osterley Avenue Bridgewater SA 5155

NOTE 16 - GOING CONCERN

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern. The Company incurred a loss of \$42,328 for the year ended 30 June 2016 and had a current asset deficiency of \$75,679 as at 30 June 2016. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully raising additional capital and/or the support of director related entities for the provision of working capital loans.

If additional funds are not raised the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the Company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in this financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors' responsibility also includes such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

Auditor's Opinion

In our opinion:

  • the financial report of Woomera Exploration Limited is in accordance with the Corporations a Act 2001, including:
  • $\mathbf{i}$ giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
  • Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations $\overline{11}$ 2001; and
  • $\mathbf b$ The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Material uncertainty regarding going concern

Without qualification to the audit opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 16 in the financial report which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of \$42,328 during the year ended 30 June 2016 and, as of the date, had a current asset deficiency of \$75,679. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 16, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
