EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

1.1 General

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, Western Australia on 5 April 2017 at 10.00am (WST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

1.2 Recapitalisation and current activities

The Company proposed during 2016 to acquire Genome Technologies Limited (Genome). This was a transaction to which Listing Rule 11.1.3 applied, and the Company had to seek to satisfy the initial listing requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. ASX advised that it had formed the view that the Company, if it acquired Genome, would not have a structure and operations suitable for a listed entity, and accordingly the Company discontinued the Genome transaction as announced on 12 October 2016. The Company's securities were placed in a trading halt on 21 September 2016 and suspended from official quotation on 23 September 2016 and have remained suspended since then.

The Company has been working on a plan to recapitalise by settling outstanding creditors and raising further funds, with the goal of having its securities reinstated to official quotation. The Company while it was pursuing the Genome transaction retained its interests in its mineral exploration assets in Scandinavia and will, subject to the recapitalisation, resume active exploration on those mineral exploration areas.

The Company as three base metal projects in Scandinavia; Sulitjelma in Norway (Copper/zinc); Joma-Gjersvik in Norway and Granmuren, Sweden.

The Company has maintained its interest in the tenements making up these projects in good standing since 2016 and has where necessary applied for renewal of relevant tenements. The Company is awaiting confirmation of the renewal of some of the tenements but expects to receive these confirmations in due course.

A summary of the Company's activities on these projects and its proposed exploration activities in respect of each of them is set out in more detail in its announcement released on 6 March 2017.

The Company's securities will remain suspended from quotation until completion of the Recapitalisation. A post-Recapitalisation pro forma Balance Sheet is annexed to this Explanatory Memorandum at Schedule 4.

1.3 Proxies

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgment of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (a) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;
  • (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
  • (c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

1.4 Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. Copies of the report can be found on the Company's website www.drakeresources.com.au or by contacting the Company on +61 8 9426 0666.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

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. 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 less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Eddie King

Clause 11.11 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Eddie King was appointed as a Director on 10 February 2017. Pursuant to Clause 11.12 of the Constitution, Mr King will retire and seek re-election.

Mr King is a qualified Mining Engineer. Mr King holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering from The University of Western Australia and is currently a Representative for CPS Capital. Mr King's past experience includes being Manager for an investment banking firm, where he specialised in the technical and financial requirements of bulk commodity and other resource projects. Mr King also acts as a director of ASX listed companies, Western Mining Network Ltd (ASX: WMN), Cabral Resources Limited (ASX: CBS), Lindian Resources Limited (ASX: LIN) and Axxis Technology Group Ltd (ASX:AYG).

The Board (other than Mr King, who is abstaining because of his interest in this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution.

4. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Dr Robert Beeson

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, Dr Robert Beeson will retire and seek reelection.

Dr Robert Beeson is a professional geologist with more than 35 years of global experience in mineral exploration and development. He has held senior management positions with Billiton Australia, Acacia Resources, North Limited, and New Hampton Goldfields, and has extensive experience in leading and managing teams in many regions of the world. Dr Beeson is currently Managing Director of Aura Energy Limited and is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and other professional geoscience associations

The Board (other than Dr Beeson abstaining because of his interest in this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution.

5. Resolution 4 – Consolidation of Capital

5.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of the number of Shares on issue on the basis that every 150 Shares held be consolidated into one Share.

5.2 Effect of Consolidation

The result of the Consolidation is that each Security holding will be reduced by 150 times its current level. Each Shareholder's proportional interest in the Company's share capital will remain unchanged as a result of the Consolidation. Any fractional entitlements of Security holders as a consequence of the Consolidation will be rounded down.

The change in capital structure of the Company following the Consolidation, which is subject to adjustments for rounding, is as follows:

Class of Security Number on Issue(Pre-Consolidation) Number on Issue(Post-Consolidation)
Shares 1,040,437,062 6,936,247
Options 366,047,882 2,440,319ex. $4.50,1 August 2017
ex. $0.03, 1 August 2017

The Consolidation will take effect from the second Business Day after Shareholder approval is received pursuant to the Notice of Meeting (Effective Date).

As from the day that is the second Business Day after the Effective Date, the Company may not register transfers on a pre-Consolidation basis.

The Company will send a notice to all Security holders not earlier than the second Business Day after the Effective Date and not later than the sixth Business Day after the Effective Date advising of the number of Securities held by each Security holder both before and after the capital Consolidation.

Uncertificated security holding statements for the Securities will be sent to Security holders no later than the sixth Business Day after (but not including) the Effective Date.

The Company will, from the date that is two Business Days after the Effective Date, reject transfers accompanied by a certificate or holding statement that was issued before the Consolidation.

Where a Security holder has sold his or her Securities in the Company prior to the Consolidation of ordinary Shares and the Company receives a valid transfer executed by the Security holder, the Company will send an uncertificated security holding statement for the new Shares to the transferee named in the transfer.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

5.3 Capital Structure

On the basis that all Resolutions are passed, and the maximum number of Securities are issued under Resolutions 5 to 14, the Company's capital structure following the Consolidation will be as follows:

Class of Security Numberon Issue(Post-Consolidation)
Shares 6,936,247

6. Resolution 5 – Issue of Shares to Creditors

6.1 General

As part of the Company's recapitalisation proposal the Company proposes to enter into agreements with a majority of existing creditors to convert existing debts into equity, on a post Consolidation basis. The Company seeks the ability to issue up to 37,000,000 Shares (on a post Consolidation basis) for these agreements. Resolution 5 seeks approval for the issue of these Shares (Creditor Shares). Issue of the Creditor Shares is subject to Shareholder approval.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Creditor Shares in satisfaction of amounts outstanding to the various creditors pursuant to their debt repayment agreements (Creditors).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Creditor Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

6.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

9. Resolutions 8 to 10 – Authority for the Directors to participate in the Share Placement

9.1 General

Pursuant to Resolution 7 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 175,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share (on a post Consolidation basis) to raise up to $1,750,000 (Share Placement).

Mr Brett Fraser, Mr Jay Stephenson and Dr Robert Beeson, each a Director, wish to participate in the Share Placement (Participating Directors). Resolutions 8 to 10 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 25,000,000 Shares to the Participating Directors (or their nominees) arising from their participation in the Share Placement.

9.2 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.

It is the view of the Board that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of Shares to the Participating Directors and/or their nominees, as the issue of Shares falls within the exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required for a company to give a financial benefit on terms that:

  • (a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arm's length; or
  • (b) are on terms that are less favourable to the related party than would be given if the parties were dealing at arm's length.

In forming this view, the Board noted that the price of the Shares to be issued to the Participating Directors is the same as the price of the Shares to be issued under the Share Placement which was set having regard for current market conditions and demand. Accordingly, the terms of the issue of Shares to the Participating Directors were negotiated on an arm's length basis and are reasonable in the circumstances.

9.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the participation of the Participating Directors in the Share Placement involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

9.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 8 to 10:

  • (a) The Shares will be issued to Mr Brett Fraser, Mr Jay Stephenson, Dr Robert Beeson and/or his nominees.

  • (b) The maximum number of Shares the Company will issue to the Participating Director and/or his nominees under Resolutions 8 to 10 (on a post Consolidation basis) is 25,000,000 Shares.

  • (c) The Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of the Shares will occur on the same date.

  • (d) The issue price will be $0.01 per Share (on a post Consolidation basis), being the same as all other Shares issued under the Share Placement.

  • (e) The Shares issued 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.

  • (f) The funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Share Placement as set out in Section 8.2(f).

  • (g) If the participation of any or all of the Participating Directors in the Share Placement is not approved, then the Shares that would have been offered to the Participating Director(s) will be included in the general offer of Shares under the Share Placement.

10. Resolutions 11 to 14 - Issue of Director Options

10.1 Background

Pursuant to Resolutions 11 to 14, the Company proposes to grant a total of 14,000,000 Director Options (on a post Consolidation basis) to Mr Brett Fraser, Mr Jay Stephenson, Dr Robert Beeson and Mr Eddie King, and/or their nominees.

The primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the Directors' remuneration packages to assist the Company in rewarding their performance, and to align their interests with those of Shareholders. The Board considers that the experience of the Directors will greatly assist the development of the Company. As such, the Board believes that the number of Director Options to be granted to the Directors is commensurate with their value to the Company.

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Each of the directors whom Director Options will be issued is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

The Board (other than each Director in relation to the issue of Director Options to them, in which case they decline to make a recommendation) supports the grant of Director Options to each of Brett Fraser, Jay Stephenson, Robert Beeson and Eddie King.

10.2 Related Party Approval

The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval for the financial benefit covered by Resolutions 11 to 14 as the Board has resolved that the financial benefit to be provided to the Directors pursuant to the Director Options comes within the reasonable remuneration exemption to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

10.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, information regarding the issue of the Director Options is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Director Options will be issued to Mr Brett Fraser, Mr Jay Stephenson, Dr Robert Beeson, and Mr Eddie King and/or their nominees.

  • (b) The maximum number of Director Options the Company can issue to each of the Directors and/or their nominees under Resolutions 11 to 14 (on a post Consolidation basis) is as follows:

  • (i) Mr Brett Fraser 6,000,000 Director Options;

  • (ii) Mr Jay Stephenson 3,500,000 Director Options;

  • (iii) Dr Robert Beeson 3,500,000 Director Options; and

  • (iv) Mr Eddie King 1,000,000 Director Options.

  • (c) The Company will issue the Director Options to the relevant Directors and/or their nominees no later than one month after the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date.

  • (d) The Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options.

  • (e) The Director Options will be exercisable at $0.03 (on a post Consolidation basis), will expire 4 years after their issue date and will otherwise be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

11. Resolution 15 – Issue of Advisor Options

The Advisor Options are proposed to be issued to various advisors and consultants that will be engaged to assist the Company with its proposed recapitalisation. The Advisor Options are proposed to be issued to the Advisors to retain their services and to provide cost effective remuneration for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company.

12. Resolution 16 – Section 195 Approval

Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a "material personal interest" are being considered.

Some of the Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 11, 12, 13 and 14. In the absence of this Resolution 16, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors' meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 11 to 14.
