1. Proposed acquisitions of Leeds Project and Kenya Project
1.1 Background
Ragnar (then named Drake Resources Limited) listed on ASX in 2005. It has had diverse mineral exploration interests. Its principal area of activity has been base metal exploration interest in Scandinavia. It has held exploration projects in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and currently holds a number of exploration projects in the Granmuren-Bergslagen area in Sweden. Historically Ragnar has also held exploration projects in Australia (gold, silver, uranium) and West Africa (the Seimana gold project in Guinea from 2012 until 2016 and various gold exploration projects in Senegal and Mauritania from 2010 until 2016).
In 2017, Ragnar restructured its capital and raised a total of $1,750,000 under a prospectus to retire outstanding liabilities and provide new funding for exploration on its Scandinavian exploration projects. Ragnar's assets upon reinstatement consisted of three base metal projects in Scandinavia: Sulitjelma and Joma-Gjersvik in Norway and Granmuren-Bergslagen, in Sweden.
Since its recapitalisation, Ragnar has continued exploration on the Granmuren-Bergslagen exploration projects in Sweden. Ragnar has spent approximately $500,000 on mineral exploration since its reinstatement in November 2017.
Ragnar has also assessed a number of potential mineral asset acquisition opportunities, including projects in Australia and Africa, but none of these acquisitions have proceeded. Ragnar has not raised any funds since 2017.
As announced to ASX on 21 January 2021, the Company has entered into the following binding heads of agreement:
- (a) with Maverick Exploration, Cale and Pearlglow (the Leeds Vendors) pursuant to which the Company may earn into an 80% in interest in Prospecting Licences P15/6018 and P15/6018 (the Leeds Project) (Leeds Acquisition) (Leeds Acquisition Agreement); and
- (b) with Jindalee Resources Limited (Jindalee or the Kenya Project Vendor) pursuant to which the Company will acquire a 100% interest in Exploration Licences E39/1998 and E39/2005 (the Kenya Project) (Kenya Project Acquisition) (Kenya Project Acquisition Agreement).
Together, the Leeds Acquisition and the Kenya Project Acquisition are referred to as the Acquisitions.
The Acquisitions have been deemed to constitute a change to the nature and scale of the Company's activities for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 requires the Company to seek Shareholder approval where it proposes to make a significant change to the nature and scale of its activities. ASX has also advised the Company that it will be required to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3.
An overview of the Leeds Project and the Kenya Project is outlined in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 and summaries of the terms and conditions of the Leeds Acquisition Agreement and Kenya Project Acquisition Agreement are set out in Schedule 4 and Schedule 5.
1.2 Summary of Resolutions
The Acquisitions are conditional on (amongst other things) the Company obtaining all necessary Shareholder and regulatory approvals to effect the Acquisitions. This Notice sets out the Resolutions necessary to complete the Acquisitions and the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreements. Resolutions 1 to 6 are Essential Resolutions and are inter-conditional on each other Essential Resolution being approved. If any of the Essential Resolutions are not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, none of them will take effect and settlement of the Acquisitions (Settlement) will not occur.

1.3 Overview of the New Projects

Figure 1: Location of the recently acquired Leeds and Kenya Gold Projects in the prolific gold mining district of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone Belt.
The information in this document that relates to Exploration Results was announced by the Company on 21 January 2021. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this document.
The Leeds Project is located 20 kilometres south along strike from the the Goldfields St Ives Gold Mining Camp at Kambalda, Western Australia (Figure 1). The project occurs in the area hosted by the Black Flag volcano-sedimentary package of rocks that host the Junction), Argo and Invincible gold deposits at the St Ives Gold Camp (Figure 2). Importantly, the project is located very close to the regional Speedway Fault and the associated subsidiary structures that are widely known to be critical for the formation of various deposits at St Ives including Invincible and Argo (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Airborne magnetic image showing the location of the Leeds Project in relation to the Kambalda gold mining camp including the deposits held by Goldfields that occur within and near the Black Flag Group rocks.
A variety of exploration including soil geochemistry, ground magnetics and drilling (RAB, aircore, RC and diamond) has been conducted by a series of companies in the past including Billiton (1988), Metana (1988-1990), Newcrest (1990-1993) and Acacia (1993- 1996). A total of 226 drillholes were conducted by previous explorers, which are listed in
Table 1. There has not been any exploration conducted on the project since 1996 utilising more modern techniques.
Drilling by previous explorers has delineated a large gold mineralised system within the Leeds Project that has been interpreted in the past to be related to a north-northwest trending shear zone within a package of sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks (Figure 3). The supergene mineralisation forms a flat-lying blanket 5 to 20 m in thickness at between 40 and 50 m depth beneath strongly depleted saprolitic clays with gold grade that ranges from 0.1 g/t Au and up to 11.6 g/t in places (Figure 3). Supergene gold mineralisation greater than 0.1 g/t has been defined over a zone approximately 1.5 km long and up to 400m wide (Figure 3). One standout drilling intersection occurs within the transitional zone between the oxidised and primary mineralisation and intersected:
17 m at 5.7 g/t Au from 94 m in LRC001 including 2 m at 40.9 g/t Au (Figure 3 and 4).
Other intersections from historic drilling returned both very high grade and large lower grade widths including:
4 m at 17.5 g/t Au from 74 m in LRC004 (primary zone);
6 m at 4.2 g/t Au from 48 m in PDR006 including 2 m at 11.7 g/t Au (supergene zone);
70 m at 0.4 g/t Au from 49 m in LDRC013 including 1 m at 4.2 g/t Au (oxide & primary zone):
15 m at 1.0 g/t Au from 80 m in LDRC009 including 1 m at 11.6 g/t Au (primary zone);
10 m at 1.2 g/t Au from 105 m in LDRC004 including 1 m at 9.0 g/t Au (primary zone); and
28 m at 0.5 g/t Au from 79 m in LFR027 including 1 m at 4.9 g/t Au (oxide & primary zone).
The full detail of the drilling results was set out in Table 1 of the Company's ASX Announcement released on 21 January 2021.

Figure 3: Airborne magnetic image at the Leeds Project showing the historic collars and the outlines of intersected supergene (oxidised) and primary gold mineralisation, interpreted gold bearing shear zone, significant previous intersections and cross section location.
Primary bedrock mineralisation has been intersected over the northern 800 m of the supergene anomaly, however, this distribution is primarily due to deeper drill testing from 50-100 m depth limited to the northern part of the supergene anomaly (Figure 3). In the northern area, a variety of drilling orientations have been adopted to intersect deeper primary basement mineralisation, however it is clear that the dominant orientation of the best mineralisation has not yet been defined. Only one diamond drill hole was conducted, hole LDDH001, by Newcrest, however it is located east and likely below the zone of best gold mineralisation (Figure 4). Nevertheless, structural measurements on the drill core indicates that most of the mineralised veins trend north-northeast and dip 60 degrees southeast.
Previous exploration suggest that the Leeds Project sits on a large, primarily untested hydrothermally altered gold bearing shear zone at depth below an extensive zone of supergene gold mineralisation Recent geological compilation work by Ragnar indicates a well-defined hydrothermal alteration zonation pattern at depth. The core of the primary mineralised zone is characterised by strong quartz veining, variable silicification and 2-10% disseminated pyrite as well as a strong tourmaline zone with rare fuchsite along the base coincident with the best gold assays (Figure 4). An upper hanging wall zone of biotitecarbonate-magnetite alteration occurs above the mineralisation and a lower footwall zone of biotite-sericite-carbonate occurs below the mineralisation (Figure 4). This work clearly demonstrates a flat-lying gold distribution and a possible westerly dip where mineralisation is open. In addition, a spatial association of magnetite alteration above the gold mineralisation may explain the airborne magnetic anomalies (Figure 3). This breakthrough in geological understanding at the Leeds Project will assist in Ragnar's ongoing interpretation and identification of further drill targets.

Figure 4: Interpreted cross section through the northern area of the Leeds Project at 6,506,480N showing a well-defined alteration zonation pattern.
As part of its due diligence the following work has been completed by Ragnar:
- Data entry of rock types and alteration to assist full geological cross-sectional interpretation across the Leeds Project;
- Registering historic soil geochemistry maps to identify areas of gold anomalism at surface; and
- Reprocessing of the airborne magnetic and radiometric data to assist a new structural interpretation including cross structures that might be related to north-northeast trending gold bearing veins identified in the diamond drill core.
The Company has undertaken appropriate enquiries into the Projects for the Board to be satisfied that the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and its security holders.
Ragnar is also finalising its proposed maiden drill program plan at the Leeds Project. This program will comprise deeper RC drilling below the large low-grade supergene gold intersections as well as some key oriented diamond drill core to accurately define the orientation of gold bearing veins and structures. In addition to this work, a reconnaissance aircore drill program will also be planned to test the southern extension of the gold bearing shear zone and magnetic anomalies that have never been drill tested. The Company is also considering various geophysical methods designed to map the gold-bearing shear zones on the Leeds Project.
(b) Kenya Project
The Kenya Project is located 50 km along strike to the south of the AngloGold Ashanti's Sunrise Dam gold mining camp in the Laverton mining district (Figure 1). Locally the project occurs 4-5 km north, along strike from Saracen's Deep South and Safari Bore deposits. The Project also occurs 1-5 km south along strike from Legacy Iron's Kangaroo Bore and Blue Peter gold deposits which occur on a mining lease application. The Kenya Project is well located between known gold deposits within a highly fertile greenstone belt (Figure 5).
Shallow aircore drilling by Saracen to the south of the Kenya Project indicates extensive gold anomalies >0.25 g/t Au that occur up to the southern boundary of E39/1998 (Saracen Minerals ASX announcement dated 18 Feb 2020; Figure 5). The anomalies identified by Saracen include the northern extension of the Safari Bore trend as well as anomalies that occur associated with the Two Lids Fault that also occur up to the southern boundary of E39/1998 (Figure 5).
On the Kenya Project, two high priority drill targets have been identified from geology mapping, airborne magnetic geophysics and historical geochemistry database (Figure 5). The targets occur along the important Pinjiun and Two Lids gold-bearing fault systems that cross-cut important lithological greenstone and/or intrusive granite contacts which are supported by elevated gold from previous shallow drilling (Figure 5). A program of work permit (POW) has been granted to test these targets initially utilising aircore drilling methods. This work program will be conducted once the priority work at the Leeds Project is complete following reinstatement.

1.4 Group structure
A group structure diagram is set out below, which assumes completion of the Acquisitions:

- Drake Resources Sweden AB formerly held a number of the Company's mineral assets in Scandinavia, but it is no longer active. The Company has put Drake Resources Sweden AB into voluntary liquidation under Swedish law.
1.5 Acquisition Agreements
A summary of the terms of the Acquisition Agreements is set out in Schedule 4 and Schedule 5.
1.6 Re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules
The Acquisitions require Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and cannot proceed if approval under that rule is not forthcoming.
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3, the Company is required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules prior to the Company completing the Acquisitions.
For this purpose, the Company will be required to re-comply with the conditions of listing on ASX set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in order to achieve Settlement and before it can be re-instated to trading on ASX following Settlement. The Acquisitions may not proceed if these requirements are not met.
ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to re-admit the Company to the official list and to quote its securities, and therefore the Acquisitions may not proceed if ASX decides to exercise that discretion.
Investors should take into account these uncertainties in deciding whether or not to buy or sell the entity's securities.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Notice.
The Company confirms that it is in compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.1.
1.7 ASX waivers
ASX Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 provides that it is a condition of quotation of the main class of a company's securities of an entity seeking admission to ASX that the issue price of the securities for which the company seeks quotation must be at least 20 cents in cash. In addition, ASX Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12 provides that for an entity to be admitted to the Official List, the exercise price for any options on issue must be at least 20 cents in cash.
ASX has granted the Company a waiver from the requirements outlined above to enable the Company to issue Shares for the purpose of satisfying ASX Listing Rule 2.1, Condition 2 at $0.02 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis), together with a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12 to have up to 178,966,667 Options on issue with an exercise price less than $0.20 each. These waivers are subject to the following conditions:
- (a) the issue price of the Capital Raising Shares is not less than $0.02 per Share and the exercise price of the Options is not less than $0.04 each;
- (b) the terms of the waivers are disclosed to the market and, along with the terms and conditions of the Capital Raising Shares or Options (as the context requires), are clearly disclosed in the Notice of Meeting and in the prospectus to be issued in respect of the Capital Raising (refer to disclosure at Sections 3.6 and 6.5(c) and Schedules 2 and 3);
- (c) the Company completes a consolidation of its capital structure in conjunction with the Acquisitions such that the securities are consolidated at a ratio that will be sufficient, based on the lowest price at which the Company's securities traded over the 20 trading days preceding the date of suspension of the Company's securities from official quotation, to achieve a market value of its securities of not less than $0.02 each (this will be satisfied by
Shareholders approving Resolution 2); and
(d) Shareholders approve the exercise price of the Options in conjunction with the approval obtained under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 for the Acquisitions (refer to Resolutions 1-3 and 4- 13 and Section 3.6).
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of certain securities to related parties, including Director Options, and securities under the Capital Raising pursuant to related parties' participation in the Capital Raising, and which are only to be issued if and when all other securities are issued at Completion. ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires an issue of equity securities to a related party to be completed within one month of the securityholders' meeting at which the approval is obtained. ASX has granted the Company a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 10.13.5 to enable the Company to state in the Notice that these securities will be issued at the same time as securities to be issued under the Capital Raising, rather than within one month after the date of the Meeting, subject to the following conditions:
- (e) these securities are issued by no later than the date the Capital Raising Shares are issued, which must be no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;
- (f) these securities are issued pursuant to the relevant terms and conditions set out in the Notice of Meeting;
- (g) the circumstances of the Company, as determined by ASX, have not materially changed since the Shareholders approved the issue of these securities; and
- (h) the terms of this waiver are clearly disclosed in the Notice of Meeting and the prospectus to be issued in respect of the Capital Raising.
1.8 Consolidation
The Company proposes to undertake the consolidation of its Shares on a 5:1 basis, as set out in further detail in Section 3 (Consolidation).
Approval for the Consolidation is the subject of Resolution 2.
1.9 Capital Raising
For the purposes of re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and to meet the conditions of the Acquisition Agreements, the Company proposes to conduct the Capital Raising to raise $5,500,000 via the issue of 275,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share and New Options on the basis of one (1) free attaching New Option for every three (3) Shares issued (all on a post-Consolidation basis). The Capital Raising will be conducted under a prospectus to be prepared by the Company (Prospectus).
An amount of $1,000,000 (50,000,000 Shares and 16,666,667 free attaching Options) of the Capital Raising will be made available in priority to existing Shareholders of the Company (Priority Offer) on the following basis:
- (a) Each Shareholder will be entitled to apply for a parcel of $2,000 worth of Shares.
- (b) Shareholders may apply for additional Shares in the priority offer, with their allocations being determined pro rata to their existing holding.
Approval for the issue of Securities pursuant to the Capital Raising is the subject of Resolution 5.
The Company has engaged CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd as lead manager with respect to the Capital Raising (Lead Manager).

Notes
- This assumes Ragnar completes a consolidation of its capital on the basis of 1 security for every 5 currently on issue (Consolidation).
-
- This is based on 4,000,000 Shares and 4,000,000 Vendor Options (all-post-Consolidation) being issued to the Leeds Vendors (or their nominee/s).
-
- These options comprise (on a post-Consolidation basis, subject to rounding up of fractional entitlements to the nearest whole Option on an individual holder basis):
- 2,800,000 options with an exercise price of $0.15 and an expiry date of 5 May 2021
- 7,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.10 and an expiry date of 8 June 2021
-
5,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.125 and an expiry date of 8 June 2021
-
400,000 options with an exercise price of $0.15 and an expiry date of 8 June 2021
-
3,500,000 options with an exercise price of $0.105 and an expiry date of 13 June 2021
-
600,000 options with an exercise price of $0.075 and an expiry date of 2 September 2022
-
- The New Options, the Vendor Options, the Advisor Options and the Director Options, are all proposed to have an exercise price of $0.04 and an expiry date two (2) years after the date of issue of the options, and on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. All Options will be issued on the same date and will therefore be in the same class.
-
- The Employee Options to be issued to the Chief Geologist (or his nominee/s) will be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.
-
- The Company has issued convertible notes to the value of $200,000 in the previous 6 months. These are convertible into a maximum of 47,013,699 Shares (pre-Consolidation) (or 9,402,739 Shares post-Consolidation) at a conversion price of $0.02 (on a post-Consolidation basis). The Company intends to redeem the convertible notes in full for cash from the proceeds of the Capital Raising.
1.11 Pro forma statement of financial position
The Company's pro-forma statement of financial position as at completion of the Acquisitions is set out in Schedule 1. This is based on the Company's reviewed financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2020, adjusted for completion the Acquisitions and the Capital Raising, and issue of all Securities contemplated by this Notice.
Revenue forecasts relating to mineral exploration companies are uncertain, and accordingly the Company is unable to provide investors with reliable revenue, profit, or cash flow projections or forecasts, including as a result of the Acquisitions.

1.14 Board intentions upon Settlement
In the event that Settlement occurs, the Company proposes to:
- (a) carry out exploration activities on the Leeds Project and the Kenya Project;
- (b) proceed to the drilling of the Granmuren nickel anomaly on its Berga nr 1 tenement in Sweden, and otherwise continue its Swedish exploration program; and
- (c) allocate funds raised from the Capital Raising, together with the Company's existing cash reserves as set out in Section 1.13.
1.15 Advantages of the Acquisitions
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Essential Resolutions:
- (a) the Acquisitions represents an attractive opportunity for the Company to diversify its mineral exploration portfolio.;
- (b) the Acquisition Agreements require the Company to complete a capital raising to raise $5,500,000 which will provide the Company with sufficient funds to implement the proposed exploration program; and
- (c) the potential increase in market capitalisation of the Company following Settlement and the associated Capital Raising may lead to increased coverage from investment analysts, access to improved equity capital market opportunities and increased liquidity, which are not currently present.
1.16 Disadvantages of the Acquisitions
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Essential Resolutions:
- (a) the Company will be changing the focus of its exploration activities to gold exploration in Australia, which may not be consistent with the objectives of all Shareholders;
- (b) the Acquisitions will result in the issue of the Consideration Securities and Capital Raising Shares, all of which will have a dilutionary effect on the holdings of Shareholders;
- (c) in connection with the Acquisitions, the Company has been required to engage a number of advisors, lawyers and experts to facilitate and report on the Acquisition, which represent sunk, but necessary, costs to the Company; and
- (d) there are additional risk factors associated with the change in nature of the Company's activities resulting from the Acquisitions. Some of the key risks are summarised in Section 1.17.
1.17 Risk factors
Shareholders should be aware that if the Acquisitions are approved and Settlement occurs, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities and will be subject to additional or increased risks arising from the Acquisition Agreements and other agreements.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of or that the Company currently considers immaterial, which may affect the Company. Based on the information available, a nonexhaustive list of risk factors for the Company, associated with the Acquisitions is set out below.
(a) Risks relating to the change in nature and scale of activities
(i) Completion risk
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreements, the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the Kenya Project, and 80% of the Leeds Project Tenements, completion of which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. There is a risk that the Conditions Precedent cannot be fulfilled and, in turn, that completion of the Acquisitions does not occur.
If the Acquisitions are not completed, the Company will incur costs relating to advisors and other costs without any material benefit being achieved.
(ii) Re-quotation of Shares on ASX
The Acquisitions constitute a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List of ASX.
There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its securities on the ASX. Should this occur, the securities will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.
(b) Risks in respect of the Leeds Projects and Kenya Project and current operations
(i) Information Accuracy Risk
The Company will be acquiring mining information from the Vendors which has been compiled by previous explorers on the Projects. Any inaccuracies in that information could adversely affect the Company's ability to implement its planned exploration program.
(ii) Joint Venture Risk
Upon completion of the Leeds Acquisition, the Company will be the holder of an 80% interest in the Leeds Projects Tenements, and consequently, Maverick Exploration will be the Company's joint venture partner in respect of that Project. the Company will have certain obligations under the JV Agreement, and there is a risk that it will not be able to perform these obligations. If the Company breaches the JV Agreement, its interest in the Leeds Project may be diluted, which will affect the Company's ability to implement its exploration program and affect the Company's consolidated total assets.
(iii) Gold Price Risk
Gold prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous industry factors including demand for gold, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major producing regions, and macroeconomic factors (such as inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of gold).
(c) Industry Specific Risks
(i) Exploration and Operating Risk
The tenements the subject of the Projects (Tenements) are at an early stage or exploration. Mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings and there can be no assurance that future exploration of the Tenements, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will depend upon:
- (A) the Company's ability to maintain title to the Tenements;
- (B) the Company being able to delineate economically mineable resources and reserves;
- (C) positive movements in the price of gold and exchange rate fluctuations;
- (D) the Company obtaining all consents and approvals (including environmental approvals) necessary to conduct its exploration activities; and
- (E) the successful management of development operations.
In the event that Company's exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful, this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of Tenements.
Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(ii) Resources and Reserves
There are currently no Reserve or Resource estimates in respect of any of the Projects. Reserve and Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature Resource and Reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to some extend on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate.
(iii) Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risk
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
(iv) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company in Australia are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation concerning the environment, and its operations in Sweden are subject to Swedish environmental laws and regulation. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
There is also a risk that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company's operations more expensive.
(v) Title Risks and Native Title
Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Interests in exploration licences in Sweden are governed by Swedish mining law. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. Additionally, Tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements and/or applications for tenements or renewal of tenements will be approved.
It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.
(vi) Exploration Costs
The exploration costs of the Company as set out in Section 1.12 (Indicative use of funds) are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's viability.
(vii) Mine Development
Possible future development of mining operations at the Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.
If the Company commences production on any of the Projects, its operations may be disrupted by a number of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Projects.
The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full, should the Projects reach that stage.
(d) General risks
(i) Additional requirements for capital
The funds to be raised under the Capital Raising are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company and implementation of the strategy detailed in Section 1.14 (Board intentions following Settlement). Additional funding may be required in the event costs exceed the Company's estimates and to effectively implement its business and operational plans in the future to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. If such events occur, additional funding will be required.
Following completion of the Capital Raising, the Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company's activities may result in delay and indefinite postponement of their activities and strategy. There can be no assurance that additional
finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing may not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to shareholders.
(ii) Reliance on key personnel
The Company's future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
(iii) Economic and financial market risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
- (A) general economic outlook;
- (B) interest rates and inflation rates;
- (C) currency fluctuations;
- (D) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
- (E) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
- (F) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(iv) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of securities will have tax consequences which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring securities in the Company from a taxation viewpoint and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of acquiring or disposing of securities in the Company.
(v) Force majeure
The Company, now or in the future, may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(vi) Risk of high volume of Share sales
If Settlement occurs, the Company will have issued a significant number of new securities to various parties. The Vendors and others that receive Shares and Options as a result of the Acquisitions or the Capital Raising may not intend to continue to hold those Shares and Options and may wish to sell them on ASX (subject to any applicable escrow period). There is a risk that an increase in the amount of people wanting to sell Shares and Options may adversely impact on the market price of the Company's securities.
There can be no assurance that there will be, or continue to be, an active market for securities in the Company or that the price of those securities will increase. As a result, shareholders may, upon selling their securities in the Company, receive a market price for their securities that is less than the price of securities offered pursuant to the Capital Raising.
(vii) Trading price of Shares
The Company's operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.
In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company's market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
(viii) Government Policy Changes
Adverse changes in government policy or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in the jurisdictions where the Company's assets are or will be located may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company's properties without adequate compensation.
(ix) Litigation Risk
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. The Company may also be involved in disputes with third parties in the future which may result in litigation. Should any such claim or dispute be determined not in the Company's favour, this may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not involved in any litigation.
(x) Insurance
The Company intends to obtain insurance for its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance against all possible risks to the Company. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration or production is not always available, and where available, the costs of such insurance may be prohibitive.
The above list of risk factors should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or investors in the Company. The above risk factors, and others not specifically mentioned may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of securities in the Company. Securities in the Company carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities. Any investment in the Company is highly speculative.
1.18 Intentions if the Acquisitions are not approved
If the Conditions Precedent under the Acquisition Agreements are not satisfied or waived, including if all of the Essential Resolutions are not passed, the Acquisitions will not proceed. The Company will continue with its existing projects and will seek alternative investment opportunities to build Shareholder value.
ASX informed the Company in September 2020 that it had formed the view that the Company did not have sufficient activities to comply with ASX Listing Rule 12.1 and that it would re-consider the Company's compliance with that rule after 6 months before it would consider whether to reinstate the Company's securities to official quotation. The Company would have to raise sufficient funds and expend them on its Swedish exploration projects in order to satisfy these requirements. There is no guarantee that the Company would be able to raise funds solely for use on its Swedish exploration tenements, or that ASX would agree that the Company satisfied ASX Listing Rule 12.1 and reinstate the Company's securities to official quotation. The Company would be liable to be removed from the official list 2 years after the date of its suspension from official quotation (7 August 2020) if it does not achieve reinstatement to official quotation. ASX may decide to remove the Company from the official list under ASX Listing Rule 17.5 earlier than that date.
1.19 Directors' interests in the Acquisitions
None of the Company's existing Directors have any interest in the Acquisitions.
1.20 Leeds Vendors and Kenya Project Tenement Vendor
None of the Leeds Project Vendors or the Kenya Project Tenement Vendor, or any associates of such persons, are related parties of the Company or hold a substantial interest in the Company's securities.
1.21 Conditionality of Essential Resolutions
All Essential Resolutions (Resolutions 1 to 6) are inter-conditional, meaning that each of them will only take effect if all of them are approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders' votes at the Meeting. If any one of the Essential Resolutions are not approved at the Meeting, none of them will take effect and the Acquisition Agreements and other matters contemplated by the Resolutions will not be completed pursuant to this Notice.
Resolutions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 relating to the issue of securities to related parties and the proposed Chief Geologist, are conditional on the Essential Resolutions being passed, but the Essential Resolutions are not conditional on those Resolutions being passed.
Resolution 14 (to enable the issue of Options under the Ragnar Incentive Option Plan to be exempt from using placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) is not conditional on any of the other Resolutions.
1.22 Directors' recommendations and voting intentions
Based on the information available, including that contained in this Explanatory Statement and the advantages and disadvantages outlined above, the current Directors consider that the Acquisitions
are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the Essential Resolutions.
None of the current Directors hold any interest in Maverick Exploration or Jindalee.
The Company has taken appropriate enquiries into the assets constituting and the liabilities appertaining to, and the prospects of, the Projects being acquired, for the Board to be satisfied that the Transaction is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders.
1.23 Fees paid or payable in connection with finding, arranging or facilitating the Acquisitions
Other than as disclosed in this Notice, there are no fees payable to any person in connection with finding, arranging, or facilitating the Acquisitions or Capital Raising.
The consideration payable to the Vendors under the Acquisition Agreements is set out in Sections 1.5, 4 and 5, and the proposed fees payable to the Lead Manager in respect of the Capital Raising are set out in Section 7. The Company proposes to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Options to the Directors as set out in Section 9, but those proposed issues are not in connection with finding, arranging or facilitating the Acquisitions.
2. Resolution 1 – Change to nature and scale of activities
2.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks approval from Shareholders for the Acquisitions.
As set out above, the Acquisitions will constitute a change the nature of the Company's activities from mineral exploration focussed on base metals exploration in Scandinavia by expanding to encompass gold exploration in Australia.
A detailed description of the Leeds Project and Kenya Project is outlined in Section 1.3. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreements is set out in Schedule 4 and Schedule 5.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 11.1
ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature or scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable (and before making the change) and comply with the following:
- (a) provide to ASX information regarding the change and its effect on future potential earnings, and any information that ASX asks for;
- (b) if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its shares and comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the notice of meeting; and
- (c) if ASX requires, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the entity were applying for admission to the Official List.
ASX has indicated to the Company that the change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities as a result of the Acquisitions requires the Company, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, to obtain Shareholder approval, and the Company must comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the Notice of Meeting.
2.3 Suspension continues until re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules
ASX has also indicated to the Company that the change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities constituted by the Acquisitions requires the Company (in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3) to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules (including any ASX requirement to treat the Company's Securities as restricted Securities).
If the Essential Resolutions are approved at the Meeting, it is expected that the Company's Securities will remain suspended from quotation until the Company has completed the Acquisition Agreements and re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, including by satisfaction of ASX's conditions precedent to reinstatement.
If the Essential Resolutions are not approved at the Meeting, the Acquisitions will not proceed, and the Company's Securities are expected to remain suspended from Official Quotation.
3. Resolution 2 – Consolidation of capital
3.1 Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of capital on a 5:1 basis (Consolidation). If Resolution 2 is passed and excluding any Securities issued pursuant to the other Resolutions, the number of:
- (a) Shares on issue will be reduced from 313,424,062 to 62,684,812 (subject to rounding); and
- (b) Options on issue will be reduced from 96,500,000 to 19,300,000 (subject to rounding).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward and to assist in complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, which is required to obtain re-instatement of its Shares to trading on the Official List of ASX on completion of the Acquisitions.
The Directors intend to implement the Consolidation prior to completion of the Acquisition Agreements and prior to the proposed issues of Securities pursuant to the Acquisitions and the Capital Raising, but the Consolidation will only occur if Shareholders approve all Essential Resolutions.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, and is subject to and conditional upon the passing of all other Essential Resolutions.
3.2 Legal requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of Options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price of Options be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 96,500,000 Options which will be consolidated and amended as set out in Section 3.6.
3.3 Fractional entitlements
Not all Security Holders will hold that number of Shares or Options (as the case may be) which can be evenly divided by 5. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.
3.4 Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Security holders arising from the Consolidation. However, Security Holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor its advisers, accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
3.5 Holding statements
From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Consolidation basis.
After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities.
It is the responsibility of each Security Holder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
3.6 Effect on capital structure
The effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company's capital structure is set out in the table in Section 1.10.
The effect the Consolidation will have on the terms of the unlisted Options is set out in the tables below.

4. Resolution 3 – Issue of Leeds Consideration Securities
4.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the following Securities (all on a post-Consolidation basis):
- (a) 4,000,000 Consideration Shares; and
- (b) 4,000,000 Vendor Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
(together, the Leeds Consideration Securities) pursuant to the Leeds Acquisition Agreement.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution and is subject to and conditional upon the passing of all the Essential Resolutions.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
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.
4.3 Effect of the Resolution
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Leeds Consideration Securities 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.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be unable to issue the Leeds Consideration Securities and the Leeds Acquisition Agreement will not be able to be completed and it is likely that
the Company's securities will remain suspended from official quotation on ASX until such time as the Company can demonstrate to ASX that it has activities sufficient to satisfy ASX Listing Rule 12.1. The Company would have to raise sufficient funds and expend them on its Swedish exploration projects in order to satisfy these requirements. There is no guarantee that the Company would be able to raise funds solely for use on its Swedish exploration tenements, or that ASX would agree that the Company satisfied ASX Listing Rule 12.1 and reinstate the Company's securities to official quotation. The Company would be liable to be removed from the official list 2 years after the date of its suspension from official quotation (7 August 2020) if it does not achieve reinstatement to official quotation.

- (d) the Advisor 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 ASX Listing Rules). It is intended that issue of all the Advisor Options will occur on one date, on or
about the same date as the Consideration Securities and Capital Raising Securities are issued;
- (e) the Advisor Options are to be issued in part consideration for the services of the Lead Manager in relation to the Capital Raising. A nominal issue price of $0.0001 per Advisor Option will be paid to raise an aggregate of $4,500;
- (f) the purpose of the issue is to remunerate the Lead Manager for its services in relation to the Capital Raising;
- (g) the Advisor Options are to be issued pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, a summary of which is set out in Schedule 6; and
- (h) the funds raised by the issue of the Advisor Options will be applied to working capital to the extent not offset against the cash fee payable to the Lead Manager.
8. Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 – Issue of Capital Raising Securities to Related Parties
8.1 General
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 16,000,000 Capital Raising Shares and 5,333,332 New Options to the directors of the Company, Steve Formica, Eddie King, and David Wheeler (or their respective nominee/s), who wish to participate in the Capital Raising.
It is proposed that:
- (a) Steve Formica or his nominee(s) will subscriber for and be issued 12,500,000 Capital Raising Shares and 4,166,666 New Options;
- (b) Eddie King or his nominee(s) will be issued 2,500,000 Capital Raising Shares and 833,333 New Options; and
- (c) David Wheeler or his nominee(s) will be issued 1,000,000 Capital Raising Shares and 333,333 New Options.
(these entities together are referred to as the Related Party Subscribers).
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 inclusive are ordinary resolutions and are subject to and conditional upon the passing of all the Essential Resolutions.
8.2 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 Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties. Steve Formica and Eddie King are each a related party of the Company by reason of being a Director.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is on terms that would be
reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm's length, or are less favourable than those terms.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers because these Securities are to be issued to them at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as to all other subscribers to the Capital Raising, and are being issued on arm's length terms.
8.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
- (a) a related party;
- (b) 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;
- (c) 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;
- (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; or
- (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above 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 issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers the subject of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as set out in (a) or (d) above) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
8.4 Effect of the Resolution
The effect of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers during the period of 3 months (subject to the terms and conditions of the waiver from ASX Listing Rule 10.13.5 as set out in Section 1.7 ) after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX, subject to the passing of all other Essential Resolutions).
If any or all of these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscriber for whom Shareholder approval has not been obtained, and the securities that were to be issued to that Related Party Subscriber will be allocated to other unrelated subscribers under the Capital Raising.
8.5 Directors' recommendation
Mr Formica has a material personal interest in Resolution 7, Mr King has material personal interest in Resolution 8, and Mr Wheeler has a personal interest in Resolution 9. The Directors do not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation on how to vote on Resolutions 7, 8 and 9.
8.6 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers:

- (iii) up to 1,000,000 Shares and 333,333 New Options to David Wheeler or his nominee(s).
- (b) Messrs Formica, King and Wheeler are related parties of the Company by reason of being Directors, and fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1. Each of their nominees (if any) would be an associate of a related party, and fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4;
- (c) the maximum number of Capital Raising Securities (all on a post-Consolidation basis) to be issued at Settlement to each of the Related Party Subscribers is set out in paragraph (a);
- (d) the Capital Raising Shares to be issued to the Related Party Subscribers will be issued on the same terms and conditions as existing Shares in the capital of the Company. The New Options free attaching to the Capital Raising Shares will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
- (e) the Capital Raising Securities will be issued to the Related Party Subscribers at the same as all other Capital Raising Securities, which must be 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 ASX Listing Rules);
- (f) the Capital Raising Securities will be issued to the Related Party Subscribers at the same issue price as all Capital Raising Securities under the Prospectus, i.e., $0.02 per Share with one (1) free attaching New Option for every three (3) Shares issued;
- (g) a total of $320,000 will be raised by the issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers;
- (h) the funds raised by the issue of the Capital Raising Securities to the Related Party Subscribers will form part of the total amount of funds raised by the Capital Raising, which will be used as described in Section 1.12; and
- (i) the Capital Raising Securities to be issued to the Related Party Subscribers are to be issued pursuant to their participation in the Capital Raising on the same terms as other applicants, and the issue of these securities does not form part of the remuneration of Messrs Formica, King or Wheeler.
9. Resolutions 10,11 and 12 – Issue of Director Options
9.1 General
Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 15,000,000 Director Options (all on a post-Consolidation basis) to the three directors of the Company, Steve Formica, Eddie King, and David Wheeler (or their respective nominees).
It is proposed that:
- (a) Stevsand Investments Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Formica, will be issued 6,000,0000 Director Options;
- (b) La Paz Resources Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr King, will be issued 6,000,000 Director Options; and
(c) David Wheeler (or his nominee/s) will be issued 3,000,000 Director Options.
Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 inclusive are ordinary resolutions and are subject to and conditional upon the passing of all the Essential Resolutions.
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 8.2.
The issue of the Director Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. Each of Messrs Formica, King and Wheeler is a related party of the Company by reason of being a Director. Stevsand Investments is a related party by reason of being an entity controlled by Mr Formica. La Paz Resources is a related party by reason of being an entity controlled by Mr King.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is required in respect of the issue of the Director Options.
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a 'material personal interest' are being considered. The Directors do not have a material personal interest in these Resolutions, other than the Resolution to issue Director Options to himself. However, in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other's remuneration as they may a conflict of interest, the Directors have not considered whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions, and as it is proposed that Director Options be issued to all current Directors, they are unable to form a quorum at Board level to make a determination on whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions. Therefore, the Board has determined in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options.
9.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out at Section 8.3.
The issue of the Director Options to the Directors the subject of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. The issue of the Director Options therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Each of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 is conditional upon the passing of the Essential Resolutions. Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 are not otherwise inter-conditional.
The Director Options are expected to be classified as Restricted Securities and made subject to an escrow period of 24 months from the date of reinstatement to Official Quotation of the Company's securities on ASX, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
9.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options if approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to each of the Directors (or their respective nominee/s), if approved, will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
9.5 Effect of the Resolutions
The effect of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Options during the period of 3 months (subject to the terms and conditions of the waiver from ASX Listing
Rule 10.13.5 as set out in Section 1.7) after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If any or all of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Options to any proposed recipient of the Director Options in respect of whom the relevant Resolution has not been passed. In that case, the Company may have to consider alternatives in respect of the relevant Director's remuneration, which may include increasing his cash remuneration.
9.6 Board Recommendation
Given the material personal interest of each Director in the Resolution expressly relevant to him, and in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation on resolutions about each other's remuneration (as they may a conflict of interest), the Directors do not consider it appropriate to give a recommendation on any of Resolutions 10 to 12.
9.7 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Director Options to the Directors (or their nominees):
- (a) the securities will be issued to the Directors as follows:
- (i) 6,000,0000 Director Options to Stevsand Investments, an entity controlled by Steve Formica;
- (ii) 6,000,000 Director Options to La Paz Resources, and entity controlled by Eddie King; and
- (iii) 3,000,000 Director Options to David Wheeler (or his nominee/s).
- (b) Mr Formica, Mr King and Mr Wheeler are all Directors of the Company.
- (c) the maximum number of Director Options (all on a post-Consolidation basis) to be issued at Settlement to each of the Directors is set out in paragraph (a);
- (d) the Director Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
- (e) the Director Options will be issued to the Directors 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of all the Director Options will be issued on one date, being the same date the Capital Raising Securities are issued;
- (f) the Director Options will be issued for no cash consideration;
- (g) no funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Options;
- (h) the Director Options are being offered as an incentive-based component of the Director's remuneration package which is considered a cost-effective remuneration practice and will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given. In addition, it is considered that the grant of the Director Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders;
- (i) the current total annual remuneration package of each of the Directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 (before the issue of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 10 to 12) is as follows:
(i) Steve Formica
| Salary/Fees | $72,000 |

9.8 Technical information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information (in addition to the information provided in Section 9.7) is provided in relation to the issue of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12:
- (a) the Director Options will be issued to each of the Directors specified in Section 9.7(a);
- (b) the nature of the financial benefit being provided is the Director Options. The quantity and terms of the Director Options are set out in Sections 9.7(a) and 9.7(d);
- (c) each Director's interests in the Resolutions and the reasons for not giving a recommendation on these Resolutions is set out in Section 9.6;
- (d) the value of the Director Options is set out in the table below. The valuation has been completed by internal management of the Company using the Black & Scholes option model and based on the assumptions set out below:
| Assumption | Director Options |
|---|---|
| Valuation Date | 22 February 2021 |
| Exercise price | $0.04 |
| Share price | $0.02 |
|---|---|
| Term (years) | 2 years |
| Dividend Yield | Nil |
| (life of Option) | |
| Risk free interest rate | 0.11% |
| Volatility (expected) | 95% |
| Indicative Value ($) | $0.00655 |
| (per Director Option) | |
| Quantity | 15,000,000 |
| Value ($) | $98,275 |
| (Total) | |
| Value ($) | |
| (per Director) | |
| Steve Formica | $39,310 |
| Eddie King | $39,310 |
| David Wheeler | $19,655 |
(e) the relevant interests in securities of the Company of the Directors the subject of Resolutions 10 to 12 are set out below:
| Director | Shares (pre-Consolidationbasis) | Options (pre-Consolidationbasis) |
|---|---|---|
| Steve Formica | 16,716,666 | 3,000,000 exercisable at$0.015 each on or before22 September 2022 |
| Eddie King | 1,500,000 | 1,400,000 exercisable at$0.025 each on or before 8June 2021700,000 exercisable at$0.03 on or before 4 May2021 |
| David Wheeler | Nil | 2,000,000 exercisable at$0.025 each on or before 8June 2021 |
- (f) the current total annual remuneration from the Company to the Directors the subject of Resolutions 10 to 12 is set out in Section 9.7(h);
- (g) if the Director Options are granted and then exercised, a total of 15,000,000 Shares would be issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 344,184,812 (on a post-Consolidation basis), being the number of Shares on issue following the issue of all Shares contemplated by this Notice, to 359,184,812 (assuming that no other Options are exercised or other convertible securities converted and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 4.17%, comprising approximately 1.67% by Steve Formica, 1.67% by Eddie King and 0.8% by David Wheeler.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the
Company.
As at the date of this Notice, the Shares are suspended from trading on ASX, and have been suspended since 7 August 2020. The highest and lowest closing prices of Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) on ASX during the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice, and the closing price on the trading day before the date of this Notice, are set out below:
| Price (Pre -consolidation) | Equivalentnotional Price(postConsolidation) | Date | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.011 | $0.055 | 7 August 2020 | |
| Lowest | $0.003 | $0.015 | 22 April 2020 | |
| Last | $0.011 | $0.055 | 7 August 2020 |
- (h) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Director Options to each of Messrs Formica, King and Wheeler is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in paragraph (j);
- (i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide an incentive component in their remuneration package to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles as Directors;
- (j) the Directors consider the grant of the Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as:
- (i) the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given;
- (ii) the grant of the Director Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders; and
- (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Director Options upon the terms proposed.
In forming their reasoning and determining the quantity of Director Options to be granted each Director considered the experience and role of each other Director, the cash remuneration of each other Director, the price of Shares (as reflected in the offer price of Shares under the Capital Raising) and the current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be granted as well as the exercise price (relative to the issue price of Shares under the Capital Raising) and expiry date of those Director Options; and
(k) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 10 to 12.
10. Resolution 13 – Issue of Employee Options to Chief Geologist
10.1 General
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 4,000,000 options (on a post-Consolidation basis) (the Employee Options) to Mr Leo Horn (or his nominee/s).
Mr Horn is to be appointed as the Company's Chief Geologist and the issue of the Employee Options will form part of his remuneration pursuant to the agreement between the Company and Mr Horn. He is not a director of the Company or otherwise a related party of the Company.
Vesting of the Employee Options will be subject to Mr Horn continuing employment with the Company. 50% of the Employee Options will vest upon Mr Horn completing 12 months service with the Company (Class A Employee Options), and 50% of the Employee Options will vest upon Mr Horn completing 18 months service with the Company (Class B Employee Options).
It is intended that the Employee Options are issued under the Ragnar Incentive Option Plan (which is the subject of Resolution 14).
The material terms of Mr Horn's engagement with the Company are:
- (a) Fees: $1,100 per day (plus GST)
- (b) Minimum requirements: 90 days per annum
- (c) Term: Ongoing until terminated which requires 1 months written notice by either party (or payment by the Company in lieu of notice based on a pro-rata amount of the minimum number of days per annum) or immediately for matters of gross misconduct.
Resolution 13 is an ordinary resolution and is subject to and conditional upon the passing of all the Essential Resolutions.
10.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2.
10.3 Effect of the Resolution
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the Employee Options 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.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company may (subject to the passing of the Essential Resolutions) issue the Employee Options to Mr Horn without Shareholder approval, but the issue of the Employee Options will thereby use up a portion of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
10.4 Directors' recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
10.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Employee Options:
-
(a) the Employee Options are proposed to be issued to Mr Leo Horn or his nominee;
-
(b) the maximum number of Employee Options (on a post-Consolidation basis) to be issued is 4,000,000 Options, divided into two classes:
-
(i) 2,000,000 Class A Employee Options; and
-
(ii) 2,000,000 Class B Employee Options;
-
(c) the Employee Options proposed to be issued will be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3;
-
(d) the Employee 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 ASX Listing Rules). It is intended that issue of all the Employee Options will occur on one date, on or about the same date as the Consideration Securities and Capital Raising Securities are issued;
-
(e) the Employee Options are to be issued as part of the remuneration of Mr Horn as Chief Geologist. No cash consideration will be paid for any of the Employee Options;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue is to remunerate Mr Horn for his services and to incentivise his performance as Chief Geologist;
-
(g) the Employee Options are to be issued pursuant to the terms of Mr Horn's engagement as Chief Geologist, the material terms of which are summarised in Section 10.1; and
-
(h) no funds will be raised by the issue of the Employee Options.
11. Resolution 14 – Enable the issue of Options under an Employee Incentive Scheme – Ragnar Incentive Option Plan
11.1 General
The Company proposes to implement an employee incentive scheme titled 'Ragnar Incentive Option Plan' (Plan).
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the implementation of the Plan and future issue of Options under the Plan will provide selected directors, employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
11.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2 Exception 13
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out at Section 4.2.
Certain issues of equity securities are exempt from the restrictions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and are effectively disregarded for the purposes of determining the number of equity securities that a listed company has issued within a 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 creates an exception from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of equity securities pursuant to an employee incentive scheme for a period of 3 years after either:
- (a) the listing of the company, provided that the terms of the employee incentive scheme and the maximum number that may be issued under the scheme were summarised in the company's listing prospectus; or
- (b) shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme being an exception from ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that the notice of meeting included a summary of the employee incentive scheme and certain required disclosures about the number of securities previously issued under the scheme and the maximum number that may be issued under the scheme.
The exemption is only available for the issue of equity securities under the employee incentive scheme up to the maximum number stated in the prospectus or notice of meeting, as applicable. The exemption also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the employee incentive scheme after shareholder approval has been obtained.
11.3 Effect of the Resolution
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Options under the Plan to be an exception from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, any issue of Options under the Plan over the 3 years after the date of the Meeting (up to the maximum number calculated as set out in Section 11.6(c)) will not use up a portion of the Company's Placement Capacity when that issue is made. This means that the Company will preserve its flexibility to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval if and when it grants Options under the Plan.
It should be noted that if the Resolution is passed, the Company will only be able issue equity securities under the Plan to eligible participants who are unrelated parties without seeking prior Shareholder approval. Any proposed issue of Options to a Director or related party, or any of their associates, under the Plan will require prior Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the Company may still decide in future to grant Options to eligible employees and consultants who are unrelated parties under the Plan, but each such issue will not be exempt from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will use up a portion of the Company's Placement Capacity at the relevant time made (unless another exemption from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is applicable). The issue of Options under the Plan in those circumstances would therefore reduce the Company's ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
11.4 Key terms and conditions of the Ragnar Incentive Option Plan
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 7.
11.5 Directors' recommendation
Approval of this Resolution will enable the Company to preserve its flexibility under its Placement Capacity when it issues Options under the Plan for the period of 3 years after the Meeting. Directors are eligible to be offered Options under the Plan, however, any proposed grant of Options to a Director or their associates requires prior Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 before it can be made, and the passing of this Resolution alone will not enable the Company to issue any equity securities to a Director or their associates.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
11.6 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:
- (a) A summary of the Plan is set out at Schedule 7;
- (b) The Company has not previously issued any Options under the Plan; and
- (c) The maximum number of Options to be issued under the Plan (other than issues approved by Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14) following approval under this Resolution at any given time, unless otherwise approved by Shareholders, will be 17,209,240 (being 5% of 344,184,812, which will be the number of the Company's fully paid ordinary shares on issue following completion of the issue of all Securities contemplated under this Notice, on a post-Consolidation basis).
