EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Queensland Pacific Metals Limited (ACN 125 368 658)

This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies the notice of extraordinary general meeting (Notice of Meeting) of QPM to be held at 10.00am (Brisbane time) on Monday, 21 November 2022 at the offices of Ernst & Young, Level 51, 111 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland, 4000 (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.

Special business

Resolution 1: Ratification of previous issue of Placement Shares

General

  • 1 As announced by QPM to ASX on 12 October 2022, QPM is, in accordance with the terms of a subscription agreement entered into between QPM and General Motors Holdings LLC (General Motors) (Subscription Agreement), undertaking a placement of 174,634,791 QPM Shares to General Motors at an issue price of $0.18 per QPM Share to raise a total of approximately $31.5 million (USD 20.5 million) (Placement). The Placement is proposed to be completed by:
    • the issue of 158,553,282 QPM Shares, which QPM issued on 13 October 2022 in reliance on QPM's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (Placement Shares);
    • the issue of 16,081,509 QPM Shares, which QPM intends to issue subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 2 (Additional Placement Shares).
  • 2 In accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, QPM also proposes to grant 46,833,661 options to acquire QPM Shares (Options) to General Motors subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3. Further details of the strategic partnership entered into between QPM and General Motors are provided in QPM's ASX announcement dated 12 October 2022.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

  • 3 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). QPM is an eligible entity to which ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies, and it obtained the required approval of its Shareholders at its 2021 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.
  • 4 The issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1 did not exceed QPM's Placement Capacity. However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an issue of, or agreement to issue, equity securities is ratified by Shareholders in general meeting, the issue or agreement to 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 QPM's Placement Capacity and giving it the flexibility to issue further equity securities up to that limit during the applicable 12 month period.
  • 5 Resolution 1 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the previous issue of the 158,553,282 Placement Shares.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

6 If Resolution 1 is passed, QPM's Placement Capacity will be replenished, which will give it the ability to issue further equity securities during the 12 month period following issue of the Placement Shares. If Resolution 1 is not passed, QPM'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 Placement Shares without first obtaining Shareholder approval.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

7 Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

Names of persons towhom securitieswere issued General Motors Holdings LLC
Number and class ofsecurities issued 158,553,282 Placement Shares
Terms of thesecurities issued The Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1 were issued on thesame terms as, and ranking equally with, all existing QPM Shares thenon issue (except in respect of voluntary escrow arrangements agreed toby General Motors, which are summarised in the Annexure)
Issue date 13 October 2022
Issue price $0.18 per Placement Share
Purpose of issue /use of funds raised The funds raised under the Placement will be used for ongoingdevelopment and construction of the TECH Project
Summary of materialterms of agreement Refer to the Annexure for a summary of the material terms of theSubscription Agreement

Directors' recommendation

8 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Approval of issue of Additional Placement Shares

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

  • 10 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. QPM is an eligible entity to which ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies, and it obtained the required approval of its Shareholders at its 2021 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.
  • 11 The issue of the Additional Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and would exceed QPM's available Placement Capacity (as the issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1 exhausted QPM's available Placement Capacity), and therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
  • 12 Resolution 2 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Additional Placement Shares.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

13 If Resolution 2 is passed, QPM will be able to proceed with the issue of the Additional Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 2. In addition, the issue of the Additional Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that QPM can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 2 is not passed, QPM will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Additional Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 2.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Resolution 3: Approval of grant of Options

General

16 As set out at paragraph 2 above, QPM intends to grant the Options to General Motors Holdings LLC subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

17 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. QPM is an eligible entity to which ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies, and it obtained the required approval of its Shareholders at its 2021 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.

  • 18 The grant of the Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and would exceed QPM's available Placement Capacity (as the issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1 exhausted QPM's available Placement Capacity), and therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
  • 19 Resolution 3 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the grant of the Options.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

20 If Resolution 3 is passed, QPM will be able to proceed with the grant of the Options the subject of Resolution 3. In addition, the grant of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that QPM can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 3 is not passed, QPM will not be able to proceed with the grant of the Options the subject of Resolution 3.
