EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Rafaella Resources Ltd ACN 623 130 987
This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies the notice of general meeting (Notice of Meeting) of the Company to be held at Level 8, London House, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 at 3:00pm (Perth time) on Thursday 22 September 2022 (Meeting).
The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in determining how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
Ordinary business
Resolution 1: Ratification of previous issue of Acquisition Consideration Shares
General
1 On 24 May 2022, the Company announced the acquisition of a second significant battery metals project area in Canada by signing a binding agreement with Chase Mining Corporation Limited to acquire the Alotta and Lorraine PGM-Ni-Cu projects for partial cash consideration and partial share consideration of 8,333,333 Rafaella Shares (Acquisition Consideration Shares) at a deemed issue price of $0.06 each, being a deemed consideration of $500,000.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
- 2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits an ASX-listed company to issue up to 15% of its issued share capital during any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval, and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits certain listed companies to issue up to an additional 10% of their issued share capital during any 12 month period, in both cases subject to certain exceptions (together, the Placement Capacity). Rafaella is an eligible entity to which ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies (as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and it has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million), and it obtained the required approval of its Shareholders at its 2021 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.
- 3 The issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares the subject of Resolution 1 did not exceed Rafaella's Placement Capacity. However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an issue of equity securities is ratified by Shareholders in general meeting, the issue is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and/or ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be), thereby replenishing Rafaella's Placement Capacity and giving it the flexibility to issue further equity securities up to that limit during the applicable 12 month period.
- 4 Resolution 1 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the previous issue of 8,333,333 Acquisition Consideration Shares.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
5 If Resolution 1 is passed, Rafaella's Placement Capacity will be replenished, which will give it flexibility to issue further equity securities during the 12 month period following issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares. If Resolution 1 is not passed, Rafaella's Placement Capacity will not be replenished, which will limit its ability to issue further equity securities during the 12 month period following issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares without first obtaining Shareholder approval.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
-
6 Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
- the Acquisition Consideration Shares were issued to Chase Mining Corporaton Limited;
- the number of Acquisition Consideration Shares issued was 8,333,333;
-
the Acquisition Consideration Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which were issued on the same terms and conditions as existing Rafaella Shares;
-
the Acquisition Consideration Shares were issued on 24 May 2022;
-
the deemed issue price for the Acquisition Consideration Shares was $0.06 per Acquisition Consideration Share, but no consideration was received by the Company for the issue;
-
the purpose of the issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares was to partially fund the acquisition of the Alotta and Lorraine PGM-Ni-Cu projects as announced by Rafaella on 24 May 2022;
-
the Acquisition Consideration Shares were issued under an agreement. A summary of the terms of the agreement between Rafaella and Chase Mining Corporaton Limited is as follows:
- (a) acquire the Alotta and Lorraine PGM-Ni-Cu projects (via the transfer of titles) for partial cash consideration of $100,000 and partial share consideration of 8,333,333 Acquisition Consideration Shares, subject to a 6 month (from closing date) voluntary escrow; and
- (b) the agreement between Rafaella and Chase Mining Corporaton Limited otherwise contains customary terms and conditions for an agreement of its nature (including but not limited to an indemnity in favour of Rafaella, and provisions imposing confidentiality on Chase Mining Corporaton Limited and Rafaella); and
-
this Notice of Meeting includes a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1.

Resolution 4: Approval of issue of Second Tranche Placement Shares

21 Refer to paragraph 15 for further background on the proposed issue of the Second Tranche Placement Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
22 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits an ASX-listed company to issue up to 15% of its issued share capital during any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval, and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits certain listed companies to issue up to an additional 10% of their issued share capital during any 12 month period, in both cases subject to certain exceptions. The issue of the Second Tranche Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and would exceed Rafaella's available Placement Capacity (as the issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares the subject of Resolution 1, the Rafaella Shares the subject of Resolution 2, and the First Tranche Placement Shares the subject

23 Resolution 4 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Second Tranche Placement Shares.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
24 If Resolution 4 is passed, Rafaella will be able to proceed with the issue of the Second Tranche Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 4. In addition, the issue of the Second Tranche Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that Rafaella can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors' recommendation
26 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 4.
2 ASX requires that investors be named where they are a Related Party of Rafaella, a member of Rafaella's key management personnel, a substantial holder of Rafaella, an adviser to Rafaella, or an Associate of any such person, and they are to be issued more than 1% of Rafaella's current issued capital.
Resolutions 5 and 6: Approval of issue of Director Placement Shares and grant of Director Options to Steven Turner and Robert Wrixon
General
- 27 The following Directors have elected to participate in the second tranche of the Placement (on the same terms as those which applied to other Placement participants) subject to Shareholder approval:
- Steven Turner (or his nominee) will be issued 1,876,084 Director Placement Shares under the Placement to raise $43,149.93 and will be granted 215,750 Director Options (subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 5); and
- Robert Wrixon (or his nominee) will be issued 4,347,827 Director Placement Shares under the Placement to raise $100,000.02 and will be granted 500,000 Director Options (subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 6).
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
- 28 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:
- obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
- 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.
- 29 If passed, Resolutions 5 and 6 will result in the issue of securities which constitutes the giving of a financial benefit, and Steven Turner and Robert Wrixon are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
- 30 In respect of Resolutions 5 and 6, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the Director Placement Shares and the Director Options will be issued or granted (as the case may be) to Steven Turner and Robert Wrixon (or their respective nominees) on the same terms as other Placement Shares issued, and other options in respect of Rafaella Shares granted, to other Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms for the purposes of the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
- 31 ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an ASX-listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
- a Related Party of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1);
- 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.2);
- 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3);
- an Associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
- a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
- 32 The issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 5 and 6 does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
- 33 Resolutions 5 and 6 therefore seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options to Steven Turner and Robert Wrixon (or their respective nominees) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
- 34 If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out at paragraphs 19 and 25. If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, a separate approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 such that Exception 14 under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies), and the issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options will not use up any of the Company's Placement Capacity.
- 35 If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares and the grant of the Director Options and the subscription funds currently held by Rafaella on behalf of the relevant Directors will be returned to them.
