EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 4

1.1 Overview of the Capital Raising

As announced on 26 March 2024 and 5 April 2024, the Company is undertaking a capital raising to raise up to approximately $1,090,734 (before costs) comprising:

  • (a) the issue of 5,228,936 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to unrelated institutional, sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) at an issue price of $0.14 per Share to raise $732,051 (before costs) ( Placement ). Subject to Shareholder approval, Placement Participants will also be issued one option to acquire a Share ( New Option ) for every two Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement;

  • (b) subject to Shareholder approval, the issue of 357,143 Shares at an issue price of $0.14 per Share, together with 178,572 New Options (on the basis of one New Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued) to Director, Mena Habib, to enable him to participate in the Placement ( Director Participation ). The Director Participation will enable the Company to raise an additional $50,000 (before costs); and

  • (c) a pro-rata underwritten non-renounceable loyalty options offer of one option to acquire a Share for every three Shares held by eligible shareholders at $0.01 per option ( Loyalty Options ) to raise up to an additional $308,683 (before costs) ( Loyalty Options Offer ),

(together, the Capital Raising ).

The New Options are exercisable at $0.30 each, expiring on 5:00 pm (ACST) on the date that is five years from the date of the initial issue of New Options to Eligible Shareholders under the Loyalty Options Offer.

The Company issued the Placement Shares on 11 April 2024 to the Placement Participants pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

1.2 Lead manager and underwriter

GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) (CAR 001285020 of AFSL 544680) ( GBA Capital ) has been appointed as the underwriter of the Loyalty Options Offer and the lead manager of the Placement. GBA Capital will receive an underwriting fee of 5% of the total amount raised under the Loyalty Options Offer, which fee will be satisfied through the issue of 1,543,415 New Options, approval for which is sought under Resolution 4.

The lead manager mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ) entered into between the Company and GBA Capital in respect of the Placement and the Director Participation. In consideration for these services, the Company agreed to:

7

  • (a) pay GBA Capital a capital raising fee of 6% of the total funds raised under the Placement and the Director Participation (which fee will be satisfied through the issue of 5,161,537 New Options); and

  • (b) subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, issue GBA Capital (or its nominee) 3,000,000 New Options.

The Company has also agreed to satisfy its obligation to reimburse GBA Capital for legal fees of $2,997.50 incurred in connection with the Placement through the issue of 299,750 New Options.

A summary of the underwriting agreement and lead manager mandate are set out in Schedule 4.

1.3 Use of funds

The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Capital Raising (less expenses) to fund exploration and development at the Company’s Salta Lithium Project, project access and exploration at the Musgrave Project, for general working capital purposes and to meet the expenses of the Capital Raising.

1.4 Approvals and ratifications sought in respect of the Capital Raising

Pursuant to this Notice of Meeting, the Company is seeking the following Shareholder approvals and ratifications in respect of the Capital Raising:

  • (a) Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares issued on 11 April 2024 (Resolution 1);

  • (b) Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of New Options to the Placement Participants (Resolution 2);

  • (c) Shareholder approval for the Director Participation pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, so Mr Habib may participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated Placement Participants (Resolution 3); and

  • (d) Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 10,004,702 New Options to GBA Capital (Resolution 4).

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULE 7.1A

2.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issued of the 5,228,936 Placement Shares issued to Placement Participants on 11 April 2024.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of the issue.

Further information with respect to the Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.

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.

8

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 annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023.

The issue of the 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 Placement Shares .

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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A 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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 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 Resolutions 1 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 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 Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants who are professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of GBA Capital. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved GBA Capital 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 Placement Participants were:

9

  • (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) 5,228,936 Placement Shares were issued on 11 April 2024;

  • (d) the 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 issue price was $0.14 per Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $732,051 (before costs), which will be applied towards the activities set out in Section 1.3 above; and

  • (g) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW OPTIONS TO PLACEMENT PARTICIPANTS

3.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 2,614,468 New Options to the Placement Participants ( Placement Options ). Further information with respect to the Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The proposed issue of the New Options 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 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

3.4

Technical 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 Resolution 2:

  • (a) the Placement Options will be issued to the Placement Participants who are professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of GBA Capital. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve GBA Capital seeking expressions of interest to

10

participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) the Company confirms that none of the Placement 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 Placement Options to be issued to the Placement Participants is 2,614,468;

  • (d) the terms and conditions of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Placement Options 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);

  • (f) the issue price will be nil per Placement Option, as the Placement Options are being issued free attaching to the Placement Shares on a 1:2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Options is to incentivise the Placement Participants. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Placement Options;

  • (h) the Placement Options are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) the Placement Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN THE PLACEMENT

4.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the Director Participation.

Managing Director, Mr Mena Habib, wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated Placement Participants for an aggregate of $50,000, which will result in the issue of the following securities to him (or his nominee(s)):

  • (a) 357,143 Shares at an issue price of $0.14 per Share; and

  • (b) 178,572 New Options (on the basis of one New Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement),

together, the Director Participation Securities ).

11

Should Resolution 3 be passed, the Company will receive $50,000 (before costs) from the Director Participation to be applied towards the activities set out in Section 1.3.

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 Director Participation Securities to Mr Habib (or his nominee(s)) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Habib is a related party of the Company by virtue of being the Managing Director of the Company.

The Directors (other than Mr Habib who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Director Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Habib on the same terms as the Shares and New Options issued under the Placement to unrelated Placement Participants and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

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;

  • 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 Director Participation 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.

12

4.4 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 Director Participation Securities 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). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Participation Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Participation Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Securities and the $50,000 that would be raised via the Director Participation under the Placement will not be raised.

4.5

Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to, and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Director Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Habib (or his nominee(s)), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Habib is a related party of the Company by virtue of being the Managing Director of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Participation Securities to be issued is:

  • (i) 357,143 Shares; and

  • (ii) 178,572 New Options,

  • (c) the Shares issued via the Director Participation 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 New Options issued via the Director Participation will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the issue price of the Shares is the same issue price as the Shares issued to other participants in the Placement (being $0.14 each). The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares via the Director Participation;

  • (f) the New Options will be issued at a nil issue price, as the New Options are being issued free attaching to the Shares issued via the Director Participation on a 1:2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the New Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the New Options);

  • (g) the Director Participation Securities will be issued no later than 1 month 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 issue of the Director Participation Securities will occur on the same date;

  • (h) the Director Participation will raise an additional $50,000 (before costs) which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.3; and

13

(i) the Director Participation Securities are not being issued under an agreement.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO GBA CAPITAL

Further information with respect to GBA Capital’s role as lead manager and underwriter is set out in Section 1.2 above.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The proposed issue of the Broker Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3 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 Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options 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.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options to GBA Capital, and the Company will be required to renegotiate the fees payable to GBA Capital pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate and the Underwriting Agreement. This may involve payment of the relevant fees in cash which will be less cost effective for the Company.

5.4 Technical 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 Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Broker Options will be issued to GBA Capital (or its nominee(s));

  • (b) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 10,004,702 . The terms and conditions of the Broker Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Broker Options 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);

  • (d) the issue price will be nil per Broker Option, as the Broker Options are being issued as part consideration for lead manager and underwriting services provided in respect of the Capital Raising. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Broker Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

14

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate and Underwriting Agreement which are summarised in Schedule 4; and

  • (f) the Broker Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
