Under the Welcome Exploration Agreement, part of the consideration comprises the issue of Shares in the capital of the Company to the value of $2,000,000, at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share (Consideration Shares)
A condition precedent to completion of the Acquisition includes the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to authorise the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 40,000,000 Consideration Shares to Welcome Exploration pursuant to the Welcome Exploration Agreement.
3.2 Welcome Exploration Agreement
The material terms of the Welcome Exploration Agreement (as varied by deed of variation dated 2 March 2024 (Deed of Variation)) are summarised below:
(a) (Acquisition): Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent (detailed below), Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd (ACN 643 244 973) (Purchaser), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, agrees to acquire, and Welcome Exploration agrees to sell all of its rights (except for the mineral right over the Tenements in respect of gold only), title and interest in the 20% interest in the Mt Sholl Tenements (Residual Interest) (free of any encumbrances) on the terms and conditions set out in the Welcome Exploration Agreement.
- (b) (Consideration): In consideration for the Acquisition:
- (i) the Purchaser agrees to pay the Welcome Exploration (or its nominee) a sum of $1,500,000 in cash by way of electronic transfer; and
- (ii) the Company agrees to issue Welcome Exploration (or its nominee) fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company to the value of $2,000,000, at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share. The Consideration Shares will be issued subject to approval of the Company's Shareholders,
(Consideration).
The Consideration is to be paid as follows:
- (iii) $100,000 in cash will be paid upon the Purchaser's receipt of transfer documents duly executed by the Welcome Exploration for the transfer of the Residual Interest in each Tenement to the Purchaser (the Company notes that this amount has been paid by the Purchaser); and
- (iv) $1,400,000 in cash will be paid and the Consideration Shares will be issued upon completion of the Acquisition for the Residual Interest.
In addition to the above Consideration, the Purchaser also paid Welcome Exploration an amount of $10,000 as consideration for the variation under the Deed of Variation (being an extension of the end date for the conditions precedent to 30 April 2024).
- (c) (Voluntary Escrow): The Consideration Shares will be subject to a period of six (6) months voluntary escrow form the date of completion of the Acquisition.
- (d) (Milestone Payment): In addition to the Consideration, the Company agrees to make a payment to Welcome Exploration (or its nominee) of $5,000,000 (Milestone Payment) upon a decision made by the Company, or its nominee, to proceed with the construction and operation of a mine (with or without a processing facility) on any Tenement or any part of a Tenement with respect to any mineral, excluding gold (Decision to Mine). The Milestone Payment will be payable to Welcome Exploration in either cash or the equivalent value of Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share), at the election of the Company.
- (e) (Conditions Precedent): Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the Purchaser) of the following conditions precedent:
- (i) Due diligence: the Purchaser being satisfied that Welcome Exploration has clear unencumbered title to the Residual Interest; and
- (ii) Shareholder approval: the shareholders of the Purchaser approving the transactions contemplated by the Welcome Exploration Agreement in a general meeting, including a resolution authorising the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act,
(together, the Conditions Precedent).
If the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied (or waived by the Party with the benefit of the Condition Precedent) on or before 5:00pm (Perth time) on 30 April 2024, then any Party may terminate the Welcome Exploration Agreement by notice in writing to the other Party.
(f) (Free Carry and Au Mineral Right): Where the Purchaser has delineated a JORC compliant resource on one or more of the Tenements, containing a metal content value of at least 75% gold, the Purchaser will free carry Welcome Exploration's 20% interest in the mineral right over the Tenements in respect of gold only (Au Mineral Right).
Following completion and until such time as the Purchaser announces to the ASX a decision to mine for gold or a Final Investment Decision in relation to the Tenements (or any portion of them) are commercially viable for gold (at the sole discretion of the Purchaser) (Free Carried Period), the Purchaser will free carry Welcome Exploration's Au Mineral Right.
Upon expiry of the Free Carried Period, Welcome Exploration must, within 30 days, elect to either:
- (i) fund its pro-rata share of production and developments costs on the relevant Tenements (including any applicable statutory costs). In such circumstances, the parties will enter into a formal joint venture agreement to fully document the terms and conditions upon which the joint venture shall operate, which shall be made on customary (Energy & Resources Law) terms, and Welcome Exploration will retain the Au Mineral Right; or
- (ii) relinquish the Au Mineral Right and, in return, will be granted a 1% net smelter return royalty on all gold products, less the expenses incurred by the Company or the Purchaser in the smelting process, extracted from the Tenements and sold on customary (Energy & Resources Law Association) terms.
The Welcome Exploration Agreement otherwise contains terms which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
3.3 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.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Consideration Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
3.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares. In addition, the issue of the Consideration Share will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares. As Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares is a condition precedent to Completion, if Shareholder approval is not obtained, completion under the Welcome Exploration Agreement will not occur and the Purchaser will not acquire Welcome Exploration's 20% legal and beneficial interest in the Tenements (unless the parties re-negotiate the consideration under the Welcome Exploration Agreement).
3.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
- (a) the Consideration Shares will be issued to Welcome Exploration (or its nominee/s);
- (b) the maximum number of Consideration Shares to be issued is 40,000,000;
- (c) the Consideration Shares are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
- (d) the Consideration Shares will be issued no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that all the Consideration Shares will be issued on the same date;
- (e) the Consideration Shares will be issued for nil consideration (having a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share);
- (f) the purpose of the issue of the Consideration Shares is satisfy the Company's consideration obligations under the Welcome Exploration Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Welcome Exploration Agreement are set out in Section 3.2 above;
- (g) the Consideration Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and
- (h) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice in respect of Resolution 1.
The Board believes this Resolution is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 1.
