On 29 May 2020, the Company announced a capital raising comprised of:

  • (a) a placement to raise $240,000 (Placement) through the issue of 60,000,000 Shares (Placement Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors (Placement Participants) at an issue price of $0.004 per Placement Share, together with one (1) free Option (exercisable at $0.008 and expiring 12 months from the date of issue) (Placement Options) for ever two (2) Placement Shares issued; and

Eligible Shareholders who subscribed for and received SPP Shares under the SPP (SPP Participants) are entitled to receive one free-attaching Option (exercisable at $0.008 and expiring 12 months from the date of issue) (SPP Options) for every two (2) SPP Shares issued to them under the SPP.

The Company engaged the services of Xcel Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 617 047 319) an authorised representative Gameplay Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 51738) (Xcel Capital or Lead Manager) to manage the Placement and the SPP. Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to:

  • (a) pay Xcel Capital a capital raising fee of 6% (exclusive of GST) on the gross proceeds of all funds raised by Xcel Capital under the Placement and SPP;
  • (b) pay Xcel Capital a management fee of $10,000 (exclusive of GST) for managing the Placement and the SPP; and
  • (c) issue Xcel Capital (or its nominee) 7,000,000 listed Options (exercisable at $0.008 and expiring 12 months from the date of issue) (Lead Manager Options) in consideration for its services in relation to the Placement and SPP.

The Lead Manager Mandate also includes other terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this nature.

1.2 Summary of the Resolutions

(a) The Company issued 60,000,000 Placement Shares on 6 July 2020 pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. Resolution 1 seeks ratification for the issue of the Placement Shares.

  • (b) The Company issued 30,000,000 Placement Options on 14 July 2020 pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 2 seeks ratification for the issue of the Placement Options.
  • (c) The Company issued 37,500,000 SPP Options on 14 July 2020 pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 3 seeks ratification for the issue of the SPP Options to unrelated SPP Participants in the Share Purchase Plan.

  • (d) The Company issued 1,500,000 Lead Manager Options on 14 July 2020 pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 4 seeks ratification for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

In addition to those capital raising resolutions, the Company is proposing to issue:

  • (a) 4,000,000 listed Options to Troy Flannery (exercisable at $0.008 and expiring 12 months from the date of issue) on 8 September 2020 pursuant to its placement capacity under 7.1 in consideration for consultancy services (Consultancy Options). Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Consultancy Options; and
  • (b) 7,000,000 listed Options (exercisable at $0.008 and expiring 12 months from the date of issue) to related parties of the Company under Listing Rule 10.11 (Related Party Options). Resolutions 7,8 and 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options.

1.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 28 November 2019.

1.4 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable) and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares, SPP Options and Lead Manager Options.

If Resolutions 1 to 4 are not approved, then the Company's available capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A will be reduced by the number of securities issued under that relevant Resolution.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Lead Manager Options were issued to Xcel Capital (or its nominated parties, none of whom are related parties of the Company;
  • (b) 7,000,000 Lead Manager Options were issued and the Lead Manager Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
  • (c) the Lead Manager Options were issued on 14 July 2020;
  • (d) the Lead Manager Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Xcel Capital in relation to the Placement and SPP. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Lead Manager Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Lead Manager Options);
  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Lead Manager Options was to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate; and

(f) the Lead Manager Options were issued to Xcel Capital under the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 1.1.

3. RESOLUTION 5 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS TO JEREMY KING PURSUANT TO SPP

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1 above, Director Jeremy King participated in the SPP through an associated entity and is entitled to receive SPP Options on the same terms as all other Shareholders that participated in the SPP. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,500,000 SPP Options to Bushwood Nominees Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Jeremy King for this purpose.

3.2 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 Participation will result in the issue of Director Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Jeremy King, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Jeremy King who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Director Options will be issued to Jeremy King (or their nominee) on the same terms as the SPP Options issued to non-related party participants in the SPP and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The issue under Resolution 5 falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the SPP Options under this Resolution 5 within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options the subject of this Resolution 5.

3.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) the Director Options will be issued to Bushwood Nominees Pty Ltd, an associated entity of Mr Jeremy King, who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Jeremy King is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;
  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued to Jeremy King (or their nominee) is 1,500,000;
  • (c) the Director Options issued will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the SPP Options (as set out in Schedule 1);
  • (d) the Director Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on the same date;
  • (e) the issue price of the Director Options will be nil as the Director Options will be issued as free attaching options to the SPP Shares on a one (1) for two (2) basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Director Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Director Options);
  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Options is to satisfy the Company's obligations to Mr King pursuant to his participation as an eligible shareholder in the SPP;
  • (g) the Director Options are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director; and
  • (h) the Director Options are not being issued under an agreement.

4. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONSULTANCY OPTIONS TO TROY FLANNERY

4.1 Background to Resolution 6

On 22 July 2020, the company announced it had appointed Mr Troy Flannery as Technical Consultant to the Company as it progresses its due diligence at Mt Maitland gold project in WA, and continues to assess the Koonenberry Gold Project in western NSW.

Mr Flannery is an unrelated party to the Company and it is envisaged he will provide advice concerning the technical strategy surrounding its projects. Initially, the consultancy will span a 6-month period.

As part of Mr Flannery's remuneration for his services, the Company has agreed to:

  • (a) pay Mr Flannery a fee of $3,000 per month plus GST; and
  • (b) upon execution of the consultancy and subject to this resolution being approved by Shareholders, the Company shall issue Jack Rory Pty Ltd (or its nominee) 4,000,000 quoted options, on the terms set out in Schedule 24 (Consultancy Options).

The Consultancy Agreement also includes other terms and conditions considered standard for a consultancy arrangement.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Consultancy Options does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consultancy Options . In addition, the issue of the Consultancy Options 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 6 is not passed, the issue of the Consultancy Options can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consultancy Options.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

  • (a) the Consultancy Options will be issued to Jack Rory Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Troy Flannery, who is not a related party of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Consultancy Options to be issued is 4,000,000. The terms and conditions of the Consultancy Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Consultancy 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Consultancy Options will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Consultancy Options will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for consultancy services concerning the technical strategy surrounding the Company's mining projects;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Consultancy Options is to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Consultancy Agreement; and

  • (f) the Consultancy Options are being issued to Jack Rory Pty Ltd under the Consultancy Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Consultancy Agreement is set out in Section 7.2 above.

5. RESOLUTION 7 TO 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

5.1 General

As set out in Section 1 above, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Rob Parton, Lincoln Ho and Jeremy King (or their nominee) (Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 3.2 above

The issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Related Party Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Related Party Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 3.3 above.

The issue of Related Party Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 7 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 7 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 7 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options.

5.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 7 to 9:

  • (a) the Related Party Options will be issued to the following persons:
    • (i) Rob Parton (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;
    • (ii) Lincoln Ho (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8; and
    • (iii) Jeremy King (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9,

each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 7,000,000 comprising:

    • (i) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Rob Parton (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;
    • (ii) 2,000,000 Related Party Options to Lincoln Ho (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8; and

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which 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 to the Related Parties;

  • (g) the Related Party Options are quoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder for the following reasons:

    • (i) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and
    • (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options on the terms proposed;
  • (h) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

    • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
    • (ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
    • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company's cash reserves,

the Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

(i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:
