2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
2.1 General
The Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.
The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company's future remuneration policies and practices.
2.2 Proxy voting restrictions
If you elect to appoint as your proxy a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.
If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he or she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are also included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member), you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
2.3 Voting Consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote (Second Strike). If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting (Spill Meeting).
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.4 Previous Voting Results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Company is required to put to the shareholders at this AGM a resolution (Spill Resolution) proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company. A spill resolution has been included as Resolution 5.
3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Ms Sara Kelly

Ms Kelly's experience includes the administration of regulatory frameworks and processes in a listed company environment, acquisitions, takeovers, capital raisings and listing of companies on ASX and AIM.
Apart from Ms Kelly (who abstains from making a recommendation on this resolution), your directors unanimously recommend that you vote FOR Resolution 2.
All shareholders may vote for this resolution.
4. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Mr James Scovell
As also announced on 1 June 2017, Mr James Scovell was appointed as a director of the Company on that date. In accordance with clause 11.12 of the Company's Constitution, he is required to retire as a director of the Company at this annual general meeting.

Apart from Mr Scovell (who abstains from making a recommendation on this resolution, your directors unanimously recommend that you vote FOR Resolution 3.
All shareholders may vote for this resolution.
5. Resolution 4 – Re-election of Director – Mr Jay Stephenson
Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Annual General Meeting in every year one third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, and any other Director not in such one-third who has held office for 3 years or more (except the Managing Director) must retire from office. Clause 11.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires under clause 11.3 is eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to clause 11.3 of the Constitution, Mr Stephenson will retire and seek re-election.
Mr Stephenson has been involved in business development for over 25 years including approximately 20 years as Director, Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary for various listed and unlisted entities in resources, manufacturing, wine, hotels and property.

All shareholders may vote for this resolution.
6. Resolution 5 - Special meeting to be held within 90 days ("Spill Resolution")
This Resolution will only be put to the meeting if the Company receives a Second Strike on its Remuneration Report as explained in Section 2.3.
If more than 50% of the shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the 2017 AGM. All of the directors of the Company who were in office when the 2017 Directors Report was approved will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors is approved will be the directors of the Company.
Shareholders should be aware that each director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report and if Resolution 5 is put to the meeting the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote against Resolution 5 on the basis that a Spill Meeting would be disruptive and costly and in the Board's view it would be inappropriate to remove all of the non-executive directors in the circumstances.
In the event a Spill Meeting is required a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to shareholders with details about those persons that will seek election as Directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
7. Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity
7.1 General
Resolution 6 seeks approval, from shareholders by special resolution, to give the Company additional capacity to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's total fully paid ordinary securities (within 12 months following the approval) in addition to the 15% permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without further member approval (Additional Placement Capacity).
The information below provides more background on Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by Listing Rule 7.3A.
The Board considers it is in the Company's best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to be able to issue additional securities provided under Listing Rule 7.1A. No decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities if Shareholders approve Resolution 6. The Board believes that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
7.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Additional Placement Capacity
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek approval from members by special resolution at its annual general meeting to have the Additional Placement Capacity.
If approved, the Additional Placement Capacity will allow the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of the Meeting to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities equal to 10% of the number of total fully paid ordinary securities on issue (on a 12 month look back basis) on a non-pro rata basis.
(b) Eligible entity
Under the Listing Rules, an "eligible entity" is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant resolution, is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an "eligible entity".
(c) Special resolution
The Additional Placement Capacity requires shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. This requires at least 75% of the votes to be cast in favour of the resolution by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
(d) Securities which may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity
Under the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: DRK).
(e) Formula for calculating 10% Additional Placement Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
- A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
- (A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
- (B) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid ordinary securities in the 12 months;
- (C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval,
- (D) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
- D is 10%
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(f) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for the securities in that class.
The VWAP is to be calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the issue price is agreed for the securities under the Additional Placement Capacity; or
- (ii) if the securities are not issued under the Additional Placement Capacity within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.
(g) 10% Placement Period
Under Listing Rule 7.1A.1, the approval for the Additional Placement Capacity must be for a period (Additional Placement Period) commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the earlier of:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or
- (ii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the date of that approval.
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the Additional Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 6 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that members approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.
(h) Dilution risks
If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:
- (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 6 is approved); and
- (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and
- (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Number of Shareson Issue | Issue Price perShare | $0.00550% | $0.01Current issue | $0.02100% |

| (100% increase) | Funds Raised | $312,552 | $625,105 | $1,250,210 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The examples in the above table are based on the following assumptions:
- (i) The Company issues Shares for cash under the Additional Placement Capacity and no other types of quoted Equity Securities.
- (ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
- (iii) Other than as indicated in the table, the Company does not issue any additional Equity Securities during the Additional Placement Period.
- (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
- (vi) No Options are exercised during the Additional Placement Period and before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
- (vii) The issue price is $0.01, being the issue price of each Share under the Prospectus dated 30 June 2017 and Supplementary Prospectus dated 7 September 2017 (together, the Prospectus). As at 18 October 2017, the last recorded sale price of the Shares on the ASX was $0.002. However, the Company notes that its securities have been in voluntary suspension since 23 September 2016 and it is currently working toward reinstatement to the ASX. The Prospectus closed on 13 October 2017 fully subscribed.
- (i) The purposes for which the Company will issue Equity Securities
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
- (i) to provide non-cash consideration for new asset purchases or investments; or
- (ii) to raise cash to fund:
- (A) general working capital expenses; or
- (B) appropriate acquisitions of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).
On issue of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to approval sought by Resolution 6, the Company will comply with the disclosure requirements described in ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will at the time of issue of the Equity Securities provide a valuation of the noncash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities are at or above the minimum issue price, in accordance with the Note to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company intends to maintain the ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for non-cash consideration.
(j) What is the allocation policy?
The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.
No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.
However, when determining the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:
- (i) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;
- (ii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
- (iii) impacts of the placement on control;
- (iv) other methods of raising capital; and
- (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. If the issue is made in connection with the acquisition of assets, the recipients may be the sellers of those assets.
(k) Details of approvals under Listing Rule 7.1A previously obtained by the Company
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.6, the Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
