EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 7

1.1 Placement

As announced on 23 February 2022, the Company has received binding commitments to raise $21,000,000 through the issue of approximately 116,666,669 Shares at an issue price of $0.18 per Share ( Placement ).

The Placement is proposed to be completed in two tranches, comprising:

  • (a) the issue of 104,524,437 Shares on 3 March 2022, under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity ( Tranche 1 Placement ), ratification of which is sought under Resolutions 1 and 2; and

  • (b) the issue of up to 12,142,232 Shares subject to Shareholder approval ( Tranche 2 Placement ), which includes the issue of:

  • (i) 7,420,009 Shares to unrelated parties, approval of which is sought under Resolution 3; and

  • (ii) the issue of an aggregate of 4,722,223 Shares to Directors, Graham Hardie, Simon Hadfield and Jim Simpson, approval of which is sought under Resolutions 4 to 6.

The Company engaged the services of Ashanti Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 614 939 981) as lead manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager ) and agreed to pay the Lead Manager 4.5% (plus GST) of the gross proceeds of the Placement (excluding the Directors participation) on the following terms:

  • (a) a cash fee of $358,825; and

  • (b) subject to Shareholder approval, issue the Lead Manager (or tis nominees) 1,522,014 Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.18 per Shares) and 4,248,106 Options exercisable at $0.236 per Option on or before the date that is three years from their date of issue ( Lead Manager Options ).

Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,522,014 Shares and 4,248,106 Lead Manager Options (together, the Lead Manager Securities ) to the Lead Manager (or its nominees) is sought pursuant to Resolution 7.

1.2 Share Purchase Plan

In conjunction with the Placement, the Company is also undertaking a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to eligible shareholders to raise up to $2,000,000. Shares under the SPP are being offered at the same issue price as Shares under the Placement.

7

/1492_3

1.3 Use of Funds raised under the Placement and the SPP

The proceeds raised under the Placement and the SPP are intended to be applied as set out in the table below:

Description AUD$
Resource expansion drilling at Wirlong 12,800,000
Resource expansion drilling at Mallee Bull 3,000,000
Other exploration and tenement holding costs 1,900,000
Approvals and development studies at the South Cobar Project 1,800,000
Working Capital and Costs of Capital Raise 3,500,000
Total Raised Proceeds 23,000,000

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES

2.1 General

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 104,524,437 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ). Further information in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.

62,714,662 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 41,809,775 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2021 ( AGM ).

2.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, 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 AGM.

The issue of the Tranche 1 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

8

/1492_3

2.3 Listing Rule 7.4

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 as much flexibility as possible 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.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.5

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 Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of the Lead Manager ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ). The Tranche 1 Placement Participants were identified through a book build process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms the following with respect to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants:

  • (i) Perth Capital Pty Ltd (and its associates), a substantial shareholder of the Company, controlling approximately 19.41% at the date that its last substantial holder notice was issued, was issued approximately 4.8% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares; and

  • (ii) Paradise Investment Management Pty Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the Company, controlling approximately 5.46% at the date that its last substantial holder notice was issued, was issued approximately 1.34% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

9

/1492_3

  • (c) 104,524,437 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 62,714,662 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 41,809,775 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2).

  • (d) 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;

  • (e)

  • the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 3 March 2022;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.18 per Tranche 1 Placement Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise approximately $18.8 million which will be applied as set out in Section 1.3; and

  • (h) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under in accordance with firm commitment letters entered into by each of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants on standard terms and conditions.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 SHARES TO UNRELATED PARTIES

3.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 7,420,009 Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement to unrelated parties ( Unrelated T2 Placement Shares ). Further information in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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.

The proposed issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The proposed issue of Unrelated T2 Placement Shares falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity

10

/1492_3

securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares. In these circumstances, the Company will be unable to raise further funds that would otherwise have been raised through the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors, including existing shareholders ( Unrelated T2 Participants ). The Unrelated T2 Participants were identified through a book build process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the Unrelated T2 Participants will be:

  • (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) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 7,420,009. The Unrelated T2 Placement Shares 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;

  • (d) the Unrelated T2 Placement 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 of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares will be $0.18 per Share (being the same price as all Shares offered under the Placement). The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares ;

/1492_3

4. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO DIRECTORS

4.1 General

Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of an aggregate of 4,722,223 Shares ( Related T2 Placement Shares ) to Directors Graham Hardie, Simon Hadfield and Jim Simpson (together, the Related T2 Participants ) under the Tranche 2 Placement on the terms set out in the table below. Further information in relation to the Tranche 2 Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.

Related Party Shares Subscription Sum
Graham Hardie 1,388,889 $250,000
Simon Hadfield 555,556 $100,000
Jim Simpson 2,777,778 $500,000
Total 4,772,223 $850,000

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related T2 Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As Mr Mark Okeby’s appointment as a Director was conditional on completion of the Tranche 1 Placement, at the time the Directors resolved to approve the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares, the Directors were unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applied to the issue.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.3

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 or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

12

/1492_3

  • 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 a 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 issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares 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 Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 25% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Tranche 2 Placement.

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 13,000,000 Options to Mr Jim Simpson, Mr Mark Okeby and Mr Robert Tyson (together, the Related Parties ) (or their nominees) pursuant to the Performance Rights and Option Plan ( Plan ) and on the terms and conditions set out below ( Incentive Options ).

The Incentive Options will be distributed amongst the Related Parties as follows:

  • (a) 4,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Mark Okeby;

  • (b) 6,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Jim Simpson; and

16

/1492_3

  • (c) 3,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Robert Tyson.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 4.2 above.

The issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties (or their nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than the Related Parties) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Options, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration packages for the Related Parties, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis. However, in the interests of best practice corporate governance, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the issue of the Incentive Options.

6.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Options to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 8, 9, and 10 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

6.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties under the Plan.

17

/1492_3

  7. (e) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Options is set out in Schedule 2;

  8. (f) the Incentive Options are unquoted Options. The Company has chosen to issue Incentive Options to the Related Parties for the following reasons:

18

/1492_3

  • (i) the Incentive Options are unquoted, therefore, the issue of the Incentive Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the issue of Incentive Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of these Directors with those of Shareholders;

  • (iii) the issue of the Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;

  • (g) the value of the Incentive Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (h) the Incentive Options will be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominees) no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Incentive Options will be issued on one date;

  • (i) the issue price of the Incentive Options will be nil, as such no funds will be raised from the issue of the Incentive Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Incentive Options);

  • (j) the purpose of the issue of the Incentive Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;

  • (k) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4;

  • (l) no loan is being made to the Related Parties in connection with the acquisition of the Incentive Options;

  • (m) details of any Options issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;

  • (n) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Options under the Plan after Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 are approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (o) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:

(p) if the Incentive Options issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 13,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 522,622,194 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 535,622,194 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.43%, comprising 0.75% by Mr Mark Okeby, 1.12% by Mr Jim Simpson and 0.56% by Mr Robert Tyson.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Incentive Options would normally determine whether the Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (q) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out in Section 4.5(l) above;

  • (s) the Non-Interested Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 8 to 10 for the reasons set out in in Sections 6.5(f) and 6.5(j). In forming their recommendation, the Non-Interested Directors considered the experience of the Related Parties, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Incentive Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Incentive Options;

  • (t) each Director (other than the Non-Interested Directors) has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 8 to 10 on the basis that the Directors (other than the Non-Interested Directors) (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive Options on the same terms and conditions should Resolutions 8 to 10 be passed. For this reason, the

Directors (other than the Non-Interested Directors) do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 8 to 10 of this Notice; and
