In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at

which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2019 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2 Additional Information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2Re-election of Director – Matthew Bull

5.1 General

Article 7.2(b) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5 both require an election of Directors at each annual general meeting of the Company. Article 7.2(b)(iv) of the Constitution provides that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as a Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office.

Article 7.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 7.2(b)(iv) is eligible for re-election.

Brian Thomas and Matthew Bull were last elected at the general meeting held on 27 September 2019. As announced on 3 November 2020, Mr Thomas has tendered his resignation as a Director effective from the conclusion of this Meeting.

Accordingly, Mr Bull retires at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.

If elected, the Board considers Mr Bull to be an independent Director.

5.2 Matthew Bull

Matthew Bull is a geologist with over 10 years' experience in the mining and exploration industry. He has worked in a wide range of commodities including graphite, bauxite, gold, iron ore, copper and coal.

Mr Bull has considerable experience on the operation greenfield and resource development drilling exploration programs. His previous positions include consultant geologist working on Discovery Africa's Tanzanian Graphite Project and CEO/Chief Geologist at Baru Resources.

Mr Bull was previously a director/exploration manager of Volt Resources (ASX:VRC) and is currently a Non-Executive Director/exploration manager of Lindian Resources (ASX:LIN).

5.3 Additional Information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board considers that Mr Bull has made and continues to make a significant and valuable contribution to the Company through demonstrating a high level of technical knowledge an industry experience. The Board believes that the qualifications, skill set and experience of Mr Bull will continue to enhance the Board's ability to perform its role. For these reasons, the Board (with Mr Bull abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Bull will be appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Bull will not be appointed as an Non-Executive Director of the Company and the Company will be required to appoint a new Director in order to have a Board comprised of at least three Directors as required by section 201A(2) of the Corporations Act.

6. Resolution 3Ratification of prior issue of February Placement Shares

6.1 General

On 20 February 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $251,771 (before costs) (February Placement) by the issue of Shares at $0.001 each (February Placement Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors.

On 25 February 2020, the Company issued 251,771,564 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the February Placement Shares.

6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, 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.

The issue of the February Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the February Placement Shares.

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

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 251,771,564 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the February Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the February Placement Shares.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the February Placement Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the February Placement Shares.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the February Placement Shares:

  • (a) The February Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The Company did not appoint a lead manager to lead manage the February Placement. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Board seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.
  • (b) 251,771,564 February Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
  • (c) The February Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
  • (d) The February Placement Shares were issued on 25 February 2020.
  • (e) The February Placement Shares were issued at $0.001 each.
  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the February Placement Shares were intended to be used towards exploration expenditure commitments on its current tenement portfolio, to assess new opportunities, to cover costs of the recent entitlement offer and to provide ongoing working capital.
  • (g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the February Placement Shares.
  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 Additional Information

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4Ratification of prior issue of September Placement Shares

7.1 General

On 14 September 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $500,000 (before costs) (September Placement) by the issue of Shares at $0.0035 each (September Placement Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors, together with one free-attaching option for every one September Placement Share subscribed for (subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 5) (September Placement Options).

On 18 September 2020, the Company issued 142,857,143 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the September Placement Shares.

7.2 Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 9 December 2019.

The issue of the September Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the September Placement Shares.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is in Section 6.2 above.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the September Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the September Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 142,857,143 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those September Placement Shares.

7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the September Placement Shares:

(a) The September Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The Company did not appoint a lead manager to lead manage the September Placement. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Board seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

  • (b) 142,857,143 September Placement Shares were issued within the 10% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval.
  • (c) The September Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
  • (d) The September Placement Shares were issued on 18 September 2020.
  • (e) The September Placement Shares were issued at $0.0035 each.
  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the September Placement Shares are intended to be used towards:
    • (i) completion of geophysical surveys at the Grace Prospect in the Paterson Province;
    • (ii) exploration and resource definition drilling at the Grace Prospect;
    • (iii) deep exploration drilling of aeromagnetic targets on E45/4524 and E45/5130;
    • (iv) resource definition drilling of the Hackneys Creek Gold Prospect at the Burraga Project in the East Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW; and
    • (v) costs of the capital raising and to provide ongoing working capital.
  • (g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the September Placement Shares.
  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.4 Additional Information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue September Placement Options

8.1 General

A summary of the September Placement is in Section 7.1 above.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 142,857,143 free-attaching Options in connection with the September Placement.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of September Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the September Placement Options to sophisticated and professional investors in accordance with the terms of the September Placement. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder Approval under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the September Placement Options as they are conditional on Shareholder approval and, in this event, Shareholders who participated in the Placement may view their investment in the Company unfavourably and may be less inclined to support the Company in its future endeavours .

8.3 Specific 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 September Placement Options:

  • (a) The September Placement Options will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom will be a related party of the Company or a Material Investor.
  • (b) Up to 142,857,143 Options are to be issued as September Placement Options, on the basis of one free-attaching September Placement Option for every one September Placement Share subscribed for.
  • (c) The September Placement Options will have an exercise price of $0.007 each and expire on 30 September 2023 and otherwise on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.
  • (d) The September Placement Options will be issued no later than three months after the date of this Meeting.
  • (e) The September Placement Options will be issued for nil consideration as they are free-attaching to the September Placement Shares.

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.

Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its Options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

14.2 Fractional entitlements

Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Securities (as the case may be) which can be evenly multiplied by .06666 Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.

14.3 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 accepts no responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

14.4 Holding statements

From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities 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 Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities. It is the responsibility of each Shareholders to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

14.5 Effect on capital structure

Security Pre-Consolidation Post-Consolidation
Shares 4,505,533,061 300,368,871

The Convertible Notes have an aggregate face value of $150,000. The Convertible Notes are currently convertible into an aggregate of 150,000,000 Shares at a deemed conversion price of $0.001 per Share.

Further, Listing Rule 7.21 requires the reorganisation of the Convertible Notes so that the holder of such notes will not receive a benefit that holders of Shares do not receive.
