BUSINESS

Background to Resolutions 1 to 3C

On 5 July 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into two binding but conditional Heads of Agreement to acquire the following projects:

  • 100% of the issued capital of Stradun Australia Pty Ltd (Stradun), an Australian propriety company that holds 100% of the issued capital of Stradun Alaska, LLC (Stradun Alaska), a corporate entity incorporated in Alaska in the USA that holds the claims forming the Monte Cristo Gold Project; and
  • Exploration licence applications E77/2774 and E70/5708, which collectively form the Burracoppin Halloysite Project located 300 kilometers west of Perth in Western Australia.

The proposed acquisition(s) of the Monte Cristo Gold Project and the Burracoppin Halloysite Project are collectively referred to herein as the Proposed Transactions.

ASX has advised that, for the Proposed Transactions (or either of them) to proceed, the Company must:

  • Obtain shareholder approval for the Company to undertake each of the Proposed Transactions, severally. Shareholder approval for the Company to seek to acquire the Monte Cristo Gold Project is sought under Resolution 1 and shareholder approval for the Company to seek to acquire the Burracoppin Halloysite Project is sought under Resolution 2. If shareholders do not approve Resolutions 1 and/or 2, the Company will not pursue the relevant transaction that is not approved by shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, if shareholders only approve one of Resolutions 1 or 2 then the Company will seek to pursue the transaction that is approved by shareholders.
  • Raise not less than an aggregate of $400,000 to fund initial exploration activities at the Monte Cristo Gold Project and the Burracoppin Halloysite Project (Capital Raising). The Company proposes completing the Capital Raising via a placement of fully paid ordinary shares (Placement Shares) to unrelated sophisticated, professional and other investors exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act at an issue price of not less than $0.065 (6.5 cents) per Placement Share. The Company has engaged Vert Capital Pty Ltd (Vert) as lead manager of the Capital Raising. Vert is proposed to receive fees of 6% (plus GST) of funds raised under the Capital Raising (which Vert may elect to receive in shares at a deemed price of $0.065 per share) and 2,000,000 unlisted options (each with an exercise price of 0.12 (12 cents), expiring 3 years from issue and otherwise having terms as set out in Annexure C) at an issue price of $0.00001 per option.

Further details regarding the Proposed Transactions and the Capital Raising are set out below. Resolutions 1 to 3A are interdependent. If any of Resolutions 1 to 3A are not passed by shareholders then those of Resolutions 1 to 3A already passed by shareholders will not be acted upon by the Company and any of Resolutions 1 to 3A that have not been put to shareholders for approval will be withdrawn. Resolutions 3B and 3C are conditional upon Resolutions 1 to 3A being approved by shareholders and are also subject to shareholder approval.

Monte Cristo Gold Project – Resolution 1

Overview

The Company proposes acquiring all of the issued capital of Stradun, an Australian proprietary company that holds 100% of the issued capital of Stradun Alaska, pursuant to a binding but conditional Heads of Agreement. The issued capital of Stradun is held by Iridum Resources Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company that is not a related party of the Company (Iridum).

Stradun Alaska holds the claims forming the Monte Cristo Gold Project which is located in Alaska and comprises 500 claims across 80,000 acres (323.74km2 ). All tenements are granted/registered in the Alaskan regulatory system. The Monte Cristo Gold Project is near the Estelle Project of Nova Minerals Limited (ASX:NVA) and has a number of similarities, including a number of valleys in a similar topographic setting and the same geological footprint (both the resistivity imagery and magnetic imagery).

A summary of the terms of the Heads of Agreement for the proposed acquisition by the Company of the Monte Cristo Gold Project is set out in Annexure A.

Approval sought under Resolution 1

The Company seeks approval to pursue the proposed acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) to satisfy the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the acquisition imposed by ASX. The Company also seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 such that the issue of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities (as defined in Annexure A) do not use the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.

If shareholders approve Resolution 1 and the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities are issued more than three months after the Meeting, the Company will continue to rely on the shareholder approval obtained under Resolution 1 for the purposes of pursuing the acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) however the issue of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities would use the placement capacity of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Listing Rules

The Company seeks approval to pursue the proposed acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project to satisfy the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the acquisition imposed by ASX and also for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities to Iridum (and/or its nominee(s)) without using the placement capacity available to the Company under the Listing Rules.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specific exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any twelve month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the company's issued share capital at the commencement of the twelve month period. One circumstance where an action or an issue is not taken into account in calculating the 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders at a general meeting.

If shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) and issue the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities. The issue of the shares, and the issue of shares on exercise of the options, forming part of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities will increase the capacity of the Company to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and, subject to the relevant shareholder approval being held at the time, Listing Rule 7.1A). If shareholders do not pass Resolution 1, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) or issue the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities. The Company will withdraw Resolutions 2 to 3C.

As noted above, if shareholders approve Resolution 1 and the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities are issued more than

three months after the Meeting, the Company will continue to rely on the shareholder approval obtained under Resolution 1 for the purposes of pursuing the acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) however the issue of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities would use the placement capacity of the Company under the Listing Rules.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • The Monte Cristo Consideration Securities (as defined in Annexure A) are to be issued to Iridum, who is not a related party of the Company (and/or its nominee(s)).
  • The maximum number of securities to be issued comprise 3,807,692 fully paid ordinary RAS shares and 2,000,000 unlisted options. Further details of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities are set out in Annexure A. The terms of options are set out in Annexure A and Annexure C in combination.
  • The share component of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities will be fully paid ordinary shares that have the same terms as, and rank equally with, the existing fully paid ordinary shares of the Company. The unlisted option component of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities have terms as set out in Annexure A and Annexure C in combination.
  • The Company proposes issuing the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities at completion of the acquisition by the Company of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun), which is anticipated to occur shortly after the Meeting. As noted above, if shareholders approve Resolution 1 and the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities are issued more than three months after the Meeting, the Company will continue to rely on the shareholder approval obtained under Resolution 1 for the purposes of pursuing the acquisition of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun) however the issue of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities would use the placement capacity of the Company under the Listing Rules.
  • No funds are being raised from the issue of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities, which are being issued as consideration for the acquisition by the Company of the Monte Cristo Gold Project (via acquisition of Stradun). Funds raised on exercise of the option component of the Monte Cristo Consideration Securities (if any) will be applied to meeting the working capital requirements of the Company at the time of exercise.
  • The Monte Cristo Consideration Securities are to be issued under a binding but conditional heads of agreement that is summarised in Annexure A.
  • A voting exclusion for Resolution 1 is contained in the Notice accompanying this Memorandum.

Interdependent resolutions

As noted above, Resolutions 1 to 3A are interdependent, and Resolutions 3B and 3C are conditional upon Resolutions 1 to 3A passing and shareholder approval. If shareholders pass Resolution 1 but do not pass Resolutions 2 and/or 3A, the Company will not act upon the shareholder approval received for Resolution 1. If shareholders do not pass Resolution 1 then Resolutions 2, 3A, 3B and 3C will be withdrawn.

Director recommendation

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

Burracoppin Halloysite Project – Resolution 2

The Company will not, however, be able to issue the Broker Options and/or Broker Shares. The Company would, however, be able to pay the 6% (plus GST) fee to Vert (and/or its nominee(s)) in lieu of issue of the Broker Shares.
  • Do not approve Resolution 3A, then Resolutions 3B and 3C will be withdrawn and the Company will not act upon shareholder approval obtained in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2.

The following information is provided for Resolutions 3A to 3C in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • The Placement Shares are to be issued to unrelated sophisticated, professional and other investors exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act who are identified by the Company and/or Vert.

Broker Options each have an exercise price of 0.12 (12 cents), expire 3 years from issue and otherwise have terms as set out in Annexure C.

  • The Company proposes issuing the Placement Shares, Broker Options and Broker Shares (if any) shortly after the Meeting and in any event no later than three (3) months after the Meeting.

  • Placement Shares are being issued at $0.065 (6.5 cents) per Placement Share. Broker Options are being issued at $0.00001 per Broker Option. Broker Shares (if any) will be issued in lieu of cash if Vert elects to receive some or all of the fee of 6% (plus GST) of the Capital Raising ($26,400) that would otherwise be payable in cash.

  • Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be used to meet the costs of the Proposed Transactions and for the initial exploration of the Monte Cristo Gold Project and the Burracoppin Halloysite Project. Funds raised from issue of the Broker Options will be used to meet the costs of the issue, it being noted that the Broker Options are primarily being issued as part-consideration for Vert acting as lead manager of the Capital Raising. Funds raised upon exercise of Broker Options (if any) will be applied to meeting the working capital requirements of the Company at the time of exercise. The Broker Shares will be issued in lieu of cash if Vert elects to receive some or all of the fee of 6% (plus GST) of the Capital Raising ($26,400) that would otherwise be payable in cash.

  • The Broker Options and Broker Shares (if any) are proposed, subject to receipt of required shareholder approval, to be issued pursuant to a mandate between the Company and Vert (Vert Mandate). A summary of the other material terms of the mandate is set out below:

    • o Vert agreed to act as lead manager of the Capital Raising in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Vert Mandate.
    • o Fees payable by the Company to Vert (and/or its nominee(s)) in connection with its role as lead manager consist of:
      • 6% (plus GST) of total funds raised under the Capital Raising ($26,400 total). Vert may elect to receive some of all of this amount in shares at $0.065 per share (being the Broker Shares) in lieu of cash; and
      • 2,000,000 unlisted options (being the Broker Options).
    • o Vert shall be reimbursed reasonable expenses in connection with its role, subject to expenditure and/or authorisation limits.
    • o The Vert Mandate otherwise contains terms typical for arrangements of this kind including an indemnity by the Company in favour of Vert in certain circumstances and provisions with respect to when the agreement can be terminated, confidentiality and governing law.
  • A voting exclusion for each of Resolutions 3A to 3C are contained in the Notice accompanying this Memorandum.

Interdependent resolutions

As noted above, Resolutions 1 to 3A are interdependent, and Resolutions 3B and 3C are conditional upon Resolutions 1 to 3A passing and shareholder approval. If shareholders pass Resolution 1 or 2 but do not pass Resolutions 1, 2 and/or 3A, the Company will not act upon the shareholder approval received for Resolutions 1, 2 or 3A. If shareholders do not pass Resolutions 1 or 2 then Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C will be withdrawn.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. For the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11, a related party includes a director of the company, an entity over which a Director has control and an entity which ASX believes, or has reasonable grounds to believe, is likely to become a related party of the company in the future.

Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11 for each of Resolutions 4A to 4C inclusive and as such approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If shareholders pass Resolutions 4A to 4C inclusive the Company will be able to issue the options the subject of Resolutions 4A to 4C. If the options the subject of Resolutions 4A to 4C convert to ordinary shares, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and, subject to the relevant shareholder approval being held at the time, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) will be increased.

If shareholders do not pass any of Resolutions 4A to 4C then the Company will not be able to issue the options the subject of Resolutions 4A to 4C. If shareholders only pass some, but not all, of Resolutions 4A to 4C then the Company will only be able to issue those options for which shareholder approval is obtained.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.11 must include specific information which is set out below with respect to Resolutions 4A to 4C:

  • The proposed recipients and the number of unlisted options they are to receive are set out in the table above.

  • Each of the proposed recipients are Directors of the Company and are therefore related parties for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

  • Each option has an exercise price of $0.12 (12 cents), expiring 2 years from issue and which, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The full terms of the options are otherwise as set out in Annexure C.

  • The Company intends to issue the options shortly following the Meeting and in any case within one month of the date of the Meeting.

  • No amount is payable for issue of the options, which are being issued as reasonable remuneration.

  • No funds will be raised from the issue of the options, which are being issued as reasonable remuneration. Funds raised upon exercise of the options (if any) will be used to meet the working capital requirements of the Company at the time of exercise.

  • Details of the remuneration package of each of the proposed recipients of the options are as set out below:

    • o Jerko Zuvela: $36,000 per annum for acting as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.
    • o Olaf Frederickson: $36,000 per annum for acting as Non-Executive Director of the Company.
    • o Melanie Ross: $36,000 per annum for acting as Non-Executive Director of the Company and for acting as Company Secretary.
  • A voting exclusion for Resolutions 4A to 4C is contained in the Notice.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a "financial benefit" to a "related party" unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Each of the proposed recipients of the options under Resolutions 4A to 4C inclusive are related parties of the Company as defined under the Corporations Act.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • the circumstances of the Company; and
  • the related party's circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Company considers the proposed issue is reasonable remuneration and, as such, fall within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

In reaching this view, the Company has considered the respective positions and responsibilities of each of the Directors, the Company's reliance on a limited number of personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise each of the Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company, and the terms of the options. The Company considers that the issue of the options is an effective tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable consideration for the Directors.

Notwithstanding the above, and although no Director participated in the decision making process in respect of options proposed to be issued to them, the Directors acknowledge that Resolutions 4A to 4C separately relate to each of them. Accordingly, Directors propose that Resolutions 4A to 4C each also be put to shareholders for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act such that shareholders determine whether the named related parties will be issued the options as set out in the table on page 13 of this Memorandum.

If Resolutions 4A to 4C are passed and the options are issued, the related parties noted in the table on page 14 of this Memorandum will be issued the options set out in the table on page 13 of this Memorandum.

Director recommendation

As Resolutions 4A to 4C relate to the issue of options to each of the Directors separately, the Directors do not make any recommendation with respect to resolutions 4A to 4C.

Note: references in the Notice and the Memorandum to "$" are to Australian currency.
