Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 3,650,000 SHARES

1.1 General

On 20 July 2015, the Company issued 3,650,000 Shares to sophisticated and exempt investors pursuant to section 708(8) of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues) from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (such as Shares and Options) representing more than 15% of the Company’s total issued securities, during a rolling 12 month period, without Shareholder approval ( 15% Threshold ).

Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of equity securities, for which Shareholder approval was not first obtained, to not be counted towards the 15% Threshold when Shareholder approval for that issue is subsequently obtained.

That is, Listing Rule 7.4 permits an issue of Shares to be approved retrospectively. It provides that an issue of securities is treated as having been made with shareholder approval if ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the securities were issued and Shareholders subsequently approve (ratify) the issue. The Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Shares were issued and now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares.

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.

1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • a) 3,650,000 Shares were issued;

  • b) the Shares were issued for $0.02 consideration per Share;

  • c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated and exempt investors pursuant to section 708(8) of the Corporations Act; and

  • e) $63,000 was raised under the placement. The funds raised have been used by the Company to advance the Company’s exploration projects and for working capital purposes.

1.3 Directors Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

MinQuest Limited ACN 146 035 127

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 3,650,000 OPTIONS

2.1 General

The Options are to be issued on the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 2 ( Option ).

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of Options to the allottees of shares under the placement as described in Item 1 of this Explanatory Statement.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in section 1.1 above.

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.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • a) 3,650,000 Options were issued;

  • b) the Options were issued for nil consideration;

  • c) the exercise price of the Options is 4.5 cents ( Exercise Price );

  • b. on payment of the Exercise Price before the Expiry Date, each Option shall be exercisable into one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company, ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares,

and, otherwise, on the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 2 ;

MinQuest Limited ACN 146 035 127

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 22,500,000 SHARES

3.1 General

On 22 June 2015, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to issue 22,500,000 Shares to an Exempt Investor, not related to the Company, to raise $450,000 at an issue price of $0.02 per Share under the provisions of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Subscription monies were received and the shares were issued on 24 July 2015.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of:

  • 9,285,625 Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing 7.1; and

  • 13,214,375 Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approved by Shareholders at the Company’s previous annual general meeting held on 28 November 2014.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are set out in section 1.1 above.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid, a number of equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A those securities will from that date be included in variable ‘A’ in the formula in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.2 for the purpose of calculating the annual placement capacity of the Company under both ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

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; and

  • the base figure (ie variable ‘A’) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number, which, in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • a) 22,500,000 Shares were issued on 24 July 2015 on the following basis:

  • a. 9,285,625 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

3.3 Directors Recommendation

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Options the subject of Resolution 4 during the period of 3 months after the Meeting, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

5.1 Introduction

On 12 August 2015 MinQuest announced that it had entered into an agreement with Magna to issue convertible notes with a face value of up to US$1.15 million.

The term of the Magna facility is 24 months from 11 August 2015, being the date of the initial drawdown under the facility. The face value of each convertible note is at a 15% premium to the amount available for drawdown. The facility is unsecured, bears no recurring interest costs, can be repaid at any time by the Company and can be converted into MNQ shares by Magna at any time during the term at the lower of (a) a 15% discount to the lowest VWAP of the Company’s shares in the 5 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice or (b) $0.05 per share.

At each draw down Magna will receive commitment options. Two and a half commitment options are to be issued for each Australian dollar equivalent drawn down under the facility. Each commitment option has a term of 3 years and an exercise price of A$0.10 per share.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent by MinQuest, funds may be drawn down under the facility as follows:

  • MinQuest received US$160,000 on 11 August 2015 pursuant to the issue of a convertible note with a face value of US$184,000.

  • A further US$340,000 will be made available on shareholder approval of the Magna facility (or earlier if certain conditions are met) for the issue of a Convertible Note with a face value of US$391,000.

  • The Company may elect to draw down a further US$500,000 (with a face value of US$575,000) between 60 and 65 calendar days after the first drawdown date subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.

13

MinQuest Limited ACN 146 035 127

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

For the purpose of listing Rule 7.4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 5 which pertains to the US$184,000 Convertible Note and 1,696,756 Commitment Options issued by MinQuest on 11 August 2015

The remaining Convertible Notes and Commitment Options to be issued pursuant to the facility are the subject of Resolution 6.

5.2 The Resolution and explanation

On 11 August 2015 ( First Drawdown Date ), the Company received cash proceeds of US$160,000 pursuant to the issue of convertible notes with a face value of US$184,000 being the first drawdown of convertible notes under a US$1.15 million facility to be provided by Magna

On the First Drawdown Date, the Company also issued 1,696,756 options (Commitment Options ) to Magna. These Commitment Options relate to the first US$500,000 to be made available under the facility (ie the US$160,000 received on 11 August 2015 and the further US$340,000 to be made available after shareholder approval).

The commercial terms of the convertible notes are set out in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Statement.

In short, the Company issued convertible notes with a face value of US$184,000 at a discount of 15% to raise US$160,000. The Convertible Notes are convertible by Magna into MNQ Shares at any time on or before 11 August 2017, by dividing the AUD equivalent of the face value of the Convertible Note by the lower of (a) a 15% discount to the lowest VWAP of the Company’s shares in the 5 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice or (b) $0.05 per share.

On 11 August 2015, Magna converted US$10,000 of the Convertible Note into 679,688 MNQ Shares. The remaining face value of the Convertible Note at the date of this Explanatory Statement was US$174,000.

The exchange rate for the issue of the Shares will be the rate as quoted by or on behalf of, the Reserve Bank of Australia (or any successor in its obligations) as the purchasing power of AUD1 in USD as last published prior to the Share issue date. As the exact number of shares to be issued is not known until the issue date, Table 3 below sets out some worked examples to illustrate the potential dilutionary impact of the Share issue to be approved under this Resolution, based on different issue prices and currency conversion rates.

The commercial terms of the Commitment Options are set out in Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Statement. In summary the terms of the Commitment Options are:

  • a) Number of Commitment Options Issued: 1,696,756

  • b) Issue Price of Commitment Option: Nil.

  • c) Exercise Price of Commitment Option: 10.0 cents

  • d) Expiry Date of Commitment Option: 11 August 2018.

Notes

1 For the purposes of this table the dilutionary impact is calculated based on conversion of the remaining US$174,000 face value of the Convertible Note at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

2The actual number of shares to be issued is to be calculated by reference to both the prevailing currency conversion rate and the lowest VWAP of the Shares calculated over the 5 day trading period immediately prior to the issue date. Details of the calculation are provided above. The current USD: AUD currency exchange rate and issue price per share are calculated as at close of trade on 28 August 2015

.[32] The dilutionary impact is calculated by reference to the Company's current issued Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting of 200,230,116 Shares (inclusive of 679,688 Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of US$10,000 of the Convertible Note face value on 11 August 2015) and on the basis that no Options are exercised and no other securities are issued.

  • 5.6 Based on the variables and calculations in table 3 above, the negative dilutionary impact of the issue will be heightened if the USD:AUD exchange rate decreases and the trading price of the shares also declines. The issue is estimated to have a maximum negative dilutionary impact of 12.00% and a minimum negative dilutionary effect of 3.62%, based on the variables above. The actual impact of the issue may be greater or less than these estimates due to fluctuations in currency and the company’s share price as a consequence of matters outside the control of the company.

5.7 Impact of Shareholder approval

By ratifying this issue:

  • (a) 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; and

  • (b) the base figure (ie variable ‘A’) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number, which, in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

5.8 Recommendation

No members of the Board have any personal interests in the outcome of Resolution 5.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. Each Director intends to vote all Shares they own or control the right to vote in favour of Resolution 5.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE/S AND COMMITMENT OPTIONS

6.1 Introduction

Section 5.1 above sets out the details of a US$1.15 million Convertible Note facility entered into between the Company and Magna.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification of the Convertible Note and the Commitment Options issued under that facility as of the date of this Explanatory Statement.

This Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder for Convertible Notes and Commitment Options that are yet to be issued under the Convertible Note facility.

6.2 The Resolution and explanation

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent by MinQuest, further Convertible Notes may be issued under the Convertible Note facility as follows:

  • A Convertible Note with a face value of US$391,000 will be issued immediately after MNQ shareholder approval of the Magna facility (or earlier if certain conditions are met). (The Commitment Options in respect of this amount have already been issued and are included in the Commitment Options the subject of Resolution 5.)

  • The Company may elect to issue a further Convertible Note with a face value of US$575,000 between 60 and 65 calendar days after the first drawdown date subject to satisfaction of customary conditions including MNQ Shareholder approval. Should the Company issue any such Convertible Notes, it will also be required to issue two and a half commitment options for each Australian dollar equivalent of the US$ face value of the issued Convertible Notes. Each commitment option has a term of 3 years and an exercise price of A$0.10 per share.

For the purpose of listing Rule 7.1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to the issue of convertible notes with a face value of up to US$966,000 Convertible Note and related Commitment Options.

The commercial terms of the convertible notes are set out in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Statement.

In short, the Company proposes to issue convertible notes with a face value of up to US$966,000 at a discount of 15% to raise US$840,000. The Convertible Notes are convertible by Magna into MNQ Shares at any time on or before 11 August 2017, by dividing the AUD equivalent of the face value of the Convertible Note by the lower of (a) a 15% discount to the lowest VWAP of the Company’s shares in the 5 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice or (b) $0.05 per share. 18

MinQuest Limited ACN 146 035 127

The commercial terms of the Commitment Options are set out in Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Statement. In summary the terms of the Commitment Options are:

  • a) Number of Commitment Options to be Issued: Two and a half commitment options for each Australian dollar equivalent of the US$ face value of the issued Convertible Notes.

  • b) issue Price of Commitment Option: Nil.

  • c) Exercise Price of Commitment Option: 10.0 cents

  • e) Terms of Commitment Options: On payment of the Exercise Price before the Expiry Date, each Commitment Option may be exercisable into one MNQ Share and as otherwise set out in Schedule 3 .

Notes

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

7.1 Introduction

The MinQuest Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) provides for the issuance of performance rights or options (Awards) to directors, full-time and part-time employees as well as consultants and contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The form and implementation of the LTIP was approved by the Board on 27 August 2015, subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with Resolution 8.

The LTIP is designed to reward performance and to incentivise and retain the Company’s key talent. The Directors consider that the granting of securities to its personnel is a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company when compared to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration.

7.2 The Resolution and explanation

Under Listing Rule 7.1, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than an amount which represents 15% of the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The Company seeks approval to exempt issues of securities under the LTIP from contributing towards the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Specifically, Shareholder approval of the LTIP is sought under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9. Shareholders must reapprove the LTIP every 3 years for Exception 9 to continue to apply.

The Company confirms that:

  • no securities have been issued under the LTIP to date; and

  • this is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2, Exemption 9 with respect to the LTIP.

Further information about the LTIP is set out below. A copy of the LTIP’s governing rules is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the rules can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 8, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of members of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

Overview and key terms of the LTIP

The key terms of the LTIP are set out below:

22

MinQuest Limited ACN 146 035 127

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Eligibility The Board may offer Awards under the LTIP to full-time or part-time employees, directors, consultants and/or contractors of any member of the Company’s group (being the Company and its subsidiaries) (a holder of securities under the LTIP being a Participant). Nature of Each Award represents a conditional right (see below Vesting) to be issued option or transferred one or more Share(s). Issue Price There is no fee payable by the Participant on the grant of the Awards.

Vesting An Award may only be exercised when the vesting conditions, as determined by the Board, attaching to that Award have been satisfied or waived and a Vesting Notice has been provided to the plan participant. Award The Award exercise price will be determined by the Board at the time it Exercise resolves to grant Awards under the Long term Incentive Plan, having Price regard to such matters that the Board considers appropriate. Cashless A participant may if provided by the terms of the Award , and at their Exercise election, exercise their vested Awards by choosing to receive (in Shares) Mechanism only the positive difference between the exercise price and the Company’s share price at exercise, determined by using a volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date. This mechanism will not change the fundamental entitlement of participants nor does it result in a more favourable economic outcome than if the participant were to pay the exercise price in respect of all their Awards.

Expiry A participant’s Awards will expire on the expiry date specified by the Board when the Award is granted. Transfer Awards cannot be transferred except with the written consent of the Board. Hedging A participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Award that has been granted to them. Quotation Options will not be quoted on the ASX. The Company will make an application to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares (if any) issued to a participant on the exercise of the Awards.

ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are requested to contact the Company Secretary, Stephen Kelly, on +61 7 3511 6570 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

6.5 Change in holding company

To the maximum extent permissible by Law, if the Company ceases to be the ultimate holding company of its corporate group or merges with another company, whether by way of scheme of arrangement otherwise, and shares in a new holding company of the Company or merged company (as applicable) become admitted to quotation, or are already quoted, on the official list of any stock exchange, the Company must procure that the relevant company promptly issues the Holder with options in that relevant company in exchange for the Options. Those options must have the same material value and be issued on the same terms as the Options save for any changes or variations required by any Law (of any jurisdiction) in force at any time or the rules of the relevant stock exchange.

7 Maintenance of Register of Holders of Options

The Company will keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, a register of option holders (including Holders of Options) in compliance with the Corporations Act, the constitution of the Company and all other applicable rules and requirements.
