Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the. Options.
Note 2:Resolution 2: Ratification of prior issue of Shares to Tranche 1 Placement shareholders
On 15 June 2021 the Company announced a Tranche 1 placement of 42,857,143 fully paid ordinary shares to raise $1,500,000 (before costs) at $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share utilising the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (Tranche 1 Placement Shares) together with 21,428,571 unlisted options exercisable at $0.055 on or before 30 June 2022, to be granted subject to shareholder approval as part of a capital raising to raise a total of $2,500,000 (Capital Raising).
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 5 November 2020.


The issue of the Tranche A Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain flexibility to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Technical 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 Resolution 1:
- a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
- b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
- i. related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
- ii. issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;


- c) 42,857,143 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued and the Tranche 1 Placement 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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 22 June 2021;
- e) the issue price was $0.035 per Tranche 1 Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

The Tranche 2 Placement is comprised of 14,285,716 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.035 per share and 7,142,858 options of which 7,142,859 Shares and 3,571,428 Options are to be granted to shareholders associated with the Company's Chairman, Mr Geoffrey Albers, a substantial shareholder of the Company (Albers Group), subject to shareholder approval. 7,142,858 Shares and 3,571,429 Options are to be granted Tranche 2 Placement Applicants other than Albers Group members (Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Options) subject to shareholder approval.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 5 November 2020.

If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

Note 4: Resolution 4: Issue of Shares and Grant of Options to Tranche 2 Placement Applicants (Albers Group - Substantial Shareholder and Related Party)
On 15 June 2021, the Company announced a Tranche 2 placement, subject to shareholder approval, to raise $500,000 (before costs) as part of a capital raising to raise a total of $2,500,000 (Capital Raising). The Tranche 2 Placement is comprised of 14,285,716 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.035 per share and 7,142,858 options of which 7,142,858 Shares and 3,571,429 Options are to be granted to shareholders associated with the Company's Chairman, Mr Geoffrey Albers, a substantial shareholder of the Company (Albers Group), subject to shareholder approval.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of the issue of shares and options as part of the Tranche 2 placement to shareholders associated with Mr Geoffrey Albers (Albers Group).
Albers Group currently has a relevant interest in 45.75% of the voting shares in the Company (prior to the issue of the Placement Shares). Ernest Geoffrey Albers is a director and substantial holder in both Albers Group and Peako Limited.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 7,142,858 Shares and 3,571,429 Options to Albers Groupon the terms set out below.
The Board (excluding Ernest Geoffrey Albers, who abstains from providing a recommendation) considers the participation by Albers Group to be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders, and recommends to Shareholders that they vote in favour of Resolution 4 Further, each Director who holds Shares (and is permitted to vote on Resolution 4) intends to vote their Shares in favour of Resolution 4.
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in 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 oragreement, 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 oragreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who hasnominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevantagreement 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 a person referred to inListing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issueor agreement should be approved by its shareholders, |
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The participation by Albers Group falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and 10.11.2 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the participation by Albers Group under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to Albers Group 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 to advance exploration activities at the Company's East Kimberley project. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Albers Group (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Substantial Holder Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Capital Raising.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
