2. Background to Resolution 1

The Company wishes to spin out its iron and industrial sands assets, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project, held by Mayur Iron PNG Ltd (Mayur Iron PNG) and indirectly by Mayur Iron PNG Pte Ltd (MIPP).

To achieve the spin out, the Company intends to undertake a simple corporate restructure by transferring the Company's direct ownership of Ortus Resources Limited (Ortus Resources), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated for the purposes of the spin out, to MIPP, so that Ortus Resources will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MIPP, and MIPP, in turn, will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and following the transfer of Ortus Resources to MIPP, the Company intends for Ortus Resources to undertake an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and the admission of Ortus Resources to the Official List of the ASX, which will include Mayur Iron PNG and the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project and other projects (Spin Out).

As a result, the Company will retain MIPP, which will remain a shareholder of Ortus Resources, with the intention that following the Spin Out the Company would retain an interest in Ortus Resources ranging between 40% and 48% based on the minimum and maximum share subscriptions detailed in Section 3.8 below.

The Company has determined that the assets held by Mayur Iron PNG constitutes a major asset of the Company and, as such, the Company requires approval under Listing Rule 11.4 for the Spin Out.

3. Resolution 1 – Approval of sale of Interest in the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project with no offer to Shareholders

3.1 General

As detailed in Section 2 above, the Company intends to dispose of Mayur Iron PNG, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project, by way of an IPO of Ortus Resources. Ortus Resources intends to undertake the IPO prior to 31 July 2022 (date subject to change).

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential spin out of Mayur Iron PNG (including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project) in accordance with the Spin Out on the basis that for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 11.4(a) it will constitute the disposal of a "major asset".

The information required by ASX Guidance Note 13 "Spin-outs of Major Assets" to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1, is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.

3.2 Background on Mayur Iron PNG

Mayur Iron PNG is wholly owned by MIPP, which in turn is wholly owned by the Company. Mayur Iron PNG is currently engaged in a number of projects, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project, as part of the Gulf Project Precinct and has a number of other granted exploration leases in PNG.

3.3 Material Terms and Conditions of the Spin Out

Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval as set out in Resolution 1, the Spin Out will occur in two phases:

  • first, as an internal reorganization prior to the proposed IPO, the Company and MIPP will enter into a short form share sale agreement under which the Company will transfer all of its shares representing all of the issued share capital of Ortus Resources to MIPP for nominal consideration; and
  • secondly, undertaking the IPO of Ortus Resources as described in Section 3.8 below.

3.4 Listing Rule 11.4

Under Listing Rule 11.4 and 11.4.1, a listed company can only dispose a major asset if:

  • (a) the securities in the spin-out vehicle (other than those being retained by the company) are being offered, issued or transferred pro rata to the holders of the ordinary securities in the company, or in another way that, in ASX's opinion, is fair in all the circumstances; or
  • (b) the company's shareholders approve the disposal without the offer, issue or transfer referred to in paragraph (a) above being made.

The Spin Out is regarded as a spin-out of a major asset for these purposes and paragraph (a) does not apply, so it is a requirement for the Spin Out to proceed that the Company's Shareholders approve the Spin Out under paragraph (b) above.

Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Spin Out under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b).

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Spin Out and dispose of Mayur Iron PNG (including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project) and continue to review project opportunities with a view to unlocking and delivering Shareholder value and otherwise as detailed in Sections 3.9 to 3.11.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Spin Out, accordingly it will not dispose of Mayur Iron PNG (including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project). The Company may seek suitable other development opportunities to deliver value to the Shareholders and otherwise as set out in Section 3.13.

The Company considers that the disposal, proceeding on the basis of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) approval, without the offer, issue or transfer referred to in Listing Rule 11.4.1(a) is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders because of the advantages listed in Section 3.10.

3.5 Major Asset and Consideration for Asset

Pursuant to Guidance Note 13, ASX will regard Mayur Iron PNG to be a major asset if its disposal will result in a decrease of 25% or more in any of the following measures:

  • (a) consolidated total assets;
  • (b) consolidated total equity interests;
  • (c) consolidated annual revenue, or in the case of a mining exploration entity, oil and gas exploration entity or other entity that is not earning material revenue from its operations, consolidated annual expenditure;
  • (d) consolidated EBITDA; or
  • (e) consolidated annual profit before tax,

or if the value of the consideration to be received by Ortus Resources and its security holders for disposing of the asset exceeds 25% of its consolidated total assets.

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 :

  • (a) Mayur Iron PNG comprised approximately 30% of the Company's consolidated total assets (an amount of $15,359,510 of a total of $51,143,275); and
  • (b) Mayur Iron PNG comprised approximately 53% of the Company's consolidated capitalized exploration (as a part of total consolidated assets) (an amount of $14,889,606 of a total of $28,186,048).

Accordingly, Mayur Iron PNG is considered a major asset.

No revenue was earned by Mayur Iron PNG or the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (financial year ended 30 June 2020 - $Nil).

3.6 Value of Asset

The value of Mayur Iron PNG, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project (as stated in the Company's 31 December 2021 management accounts), was $16,289,467. This amount is based on total capitalized expenditure to date, less amounts amortised or written off in prior years.

No revenue was earned by Mayur Iron PNG or the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project during the period from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021.

The pre-IPO value of Mayur Iron PNG and the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project is assessed by the

Company as being an amount of $41 million, based on an assessment of the detailed project financial modelling that has been completed by the Company and by Mayur Iron PNG.

3.7 Transaction with HBS

On 15 December 2021, Mayur announced the execution of a binding Terms Sheet Agreement (Terms Sheet) with leading PNG based construction and mining contractor HBS (PNG) Limited (HBS) for the delivery of the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project.

The key terms of HBS's investment and strategic alignment are :

  • (a) HBS to invest in Mayur Iron PNG via the provision of construction works, plant and equipment for the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project.
  • (b) HBS investment represents approximately 27% of the total capital expenditure required to bring Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project into full scale production.
  • (c) In recognition of HBS's early investment in the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project and commitment as a strategic partner, HBS is to be provided with a discounted 20% equity holding in Ortus Resources, valuing the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project at approximately $40 million.
  • (d) Capital raised from the proposed IPO of Ortus Resources to be used to fund the remaining construction of Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project.
  • (e) HBS due to commence construction works at Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project in March / April 2022 prior to the proposed IPO of Ortus Resources.
  • (f) Remainder of construction works and contract mining by HBS to occur post completion of the IPO.
  • (g) First shipment of products planned for late 2022 / early 2023.

Under the Terms Sheet, HBS will complete a staged investment into Mayur Iron PNG for 20% of the issued capital in Ortus Resources.

The HBS funded construction work is estimated to commence in March / April 2022 and includes the provision of people, plant and equipment to complete an agreed early works package. These construction works will occur prior to the proposed IPO of Ortus Resources. In the event Mayur does not progress with the development of the project, or does not complete the IPO, Mayur will cover the costs of this work.

At the date of this Notice of General Meeting, definitive transaction documents are in the process of being completed for execution, and include full details of the proposed investment amounts to be provided by HBS along with final structuring aspects of the proposed transaction.

Immediately following the IPO, HBS will additionally commit to complete further capital works and deliver a mining fleet for on-going developmental and operations of the project.

HBS, on an arm's length basis, have agreed to enter into a "Life of Project" mining services contract, which with a longer tenor, enables HBS to provide lower mining costs with more efficient amortisation of plant and equipment costs, compared to 'short dated' contract mining services arrangements.

  • (b) allow a standalone and focused company (Ortus Resources) to advance the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project and other projects held by Mayur Iron PNG;
  • (c) allow a "pure play" vehicle to attract appropriate funding without the need to unnecessarily dilute other projects within the Company's portfolio;
  • (d) assign the liability and commitments of Mayur Iron PNG to Ortus Resources, thereby reducing the financial burden on the Company whilst still allowing the Company to maintain a material interest in the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project (through a continued shareholding in Ortus Resources after the Spin Out has occurred); and
  • (e) allow the Company to retain an indirect interest of between approximately 40% and 48% in Ortus Resources (based on the minimum and maximum share subscriptions detailed in Section 3.8), but ultimately, reduce its interest in Mayur Iron PNG and the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project which the Company considers will become non-core to its strategic objectives going forward. However, maintaining an interest will continue to give shareholders of the Company the opportunity to participate in the growth of Mayur Iron PNG (including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project) through a separate entity that will have sufficient resources to further develop those assets and not be dependent on financing from the Company.

3.11 Disadvantages of the Disposal of the Interest in the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project

The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:

  • (a) although the Company may not control Mayur Iron PNG and will not be able to derive all of the future potential benefit from the development of Mayur Iron PNG's projects, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project, without raising significant capital, which will direct capital and resources away from the development of other of the Company's projects; and
  • (b) the disposal involves the Company selling a major asset which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of individual Shareholders.

3.12 Intention following Disposal of the interest in Mayur Iron PNG

The Company will focus on the development of its other portfolio assets comprising cement and lime, carbon neutral building products, and a renewable energy portfolio comprising nature based forestry carbon credits, solar and geothermal, as well as reviewing any other opportunities in the resources exploration and project development space with a view to maximising Shareholder value.

3.13 Implications if the Disposal of the Interest in Mayur Iron PNG does not proceed

In the event that Resolution 1 is not passed and / or for any other reason the Company does not dispose of Mayur Iron PNG as described in this Explanatory Memorandum, it will, amongst other things:

  • (a) continue to maintain its interest in Mayur Iron PNG (including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project) and continue to investigate opportunities to derive value from these assets either by developing and exploring the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project, disposing of all or part of Mayur Iron PNG or its interest in the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project or entering into joint ventures with third parties in respect of Mayur Iron PNG/the development of the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project;
  • (b) continue to own Mayur Iron PNG and maintain its projects including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project and ensure compliance with all licence and regulatory requirements, whilst undertaking appropriate development activities on its projects, including the Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project and simultaneously managing expenditure; and
  • (c) explore opportunities to raise equity capital to enable the Company to fund Mayur Iron PNG, including the ongoing Orokolo Bay Industrial Sands Project development activities and activities in respect of the Company's other assets.

3.14 Senior Management Changes

There will be no changes to the Company's senior management as a result of or in connection with completion of the Spin Out. Mr Paul Mulder and Mr Hubert Namani will join the board of Ortus Resources, whilst Mr Kerry Parker will serve the duties of the role of Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary.

4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Shares to Related Party – Mr Charles Fear

4.1 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

The Company is proposing to issue 500,000 Shares to Mr Charles Fear (or his nominee) at an issue price of $0.20 to raise $100,000 by virtue of Mr Charles Fear having agreed to participate in the Placement (defined in Section 6.2 below) (Fear Issue).

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

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

substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Fear Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Fear Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Fear Issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 4.2(g) below. If Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Fear Issue, which means that the Fear Issue will also not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Fear Issue.

4.2 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Fear Issue:

  • (a) 500,000 Shares will be issued to Mr Charles Fear (or his nominee);
  • (b) Mr Fear is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company and is accordingly captured under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1;
  • (c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Fear (or his nominee) is 500,000 Shares;
  • (d) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
  • (e) the issue price will be $0.20 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants under the Placement;
  • (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;
  • (g) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement, as announced on 20 December 2021;
  • (h) the Shares to be issued under the Fear Issue are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Fear or any other Director; and
  • (i) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 2 is included in this Notice.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Shares to Related Party – Mr Tim Crossley

5.1 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

The Company is proposing to issue 500,000 Shares to Mr Tim Crossley (or his nominee) at an issue price of $0.20 to raise $100,000 by virtue of Mr Tim Crossley having agreed to participate in the Placement (defined in Section 6.2 below) (Crossley Issue).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 4.1 above.

The Crossley Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Crossley Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Crossley Issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 5.2(g)

below. If Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Crossley Issue, which means that the Crossley Issue will also not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Crossley Issue.

5.2 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Crossley Issue:

  • (a) 500,000 Shares will be issued to Mr Tim Crossley (or his nominee);
  • (b) Mr Crossley is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company and is accordingly captured under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1;
  • (c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Crossley (or his nominee) is 500,000 Shares;
  • (d) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
  • (e) the issue price will be $0.20 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants under the Placement;
  • (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; and
  • (g) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement, as announced on 20 December 2021;
  • (h) the Shares to be issued under the Crossley Issue are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Crossley or any other Director; and
  • (i) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in this Notice.

6. Resolution 4 – Ratification of Previous Allotment of Shares Under a Placement

6.1 General

Subject to specified exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not approved and the issue of the Shares under the Placement (defined below) is not ratified, this will reduce the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval during the 12 month period following the issue of the Shares under the Placement.

6.2 Resolution 4 – Ratification of Previous Allotment of Shares Under a Placement

On 20 December 2021, the Company announced a placement to professional and sophisticated investors to raise an amount of $2,650,000 (Placement). 13,250,000 Shares were issued under the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. Resolution 4 seeks the ratification of the issue of 13,250,000 Shares issued under the Placement.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) 13,250,000 Shares were issued on 24 December 2021;
  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $2,650,000;
  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued

on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors and professional investors, none of whom were considered to be related parties of the Company; and
  • (e) the funds raised from the issue will allow the Company to continue to progress its project development opportunities and for corporate and working capital purposes.
