EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS

1.1 General

As initially announced on 2 September 2021, the Company lodged a Bonus Option Offer prospectus for options exercisable at $0.011, expiring on 2 October 2022 ( Bonus Options ). The Bonus Options are on the basis of one (1) Bonus Option for every three (3) Exercised Options.

On 5 October 2021, the Company issued 30,829,730 Bonus Options to all parties who exercised their RMOXI options. The Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

On 7 October 2021, the Company announced the quotation of 96,215,540 Options being a reclassification of pre-existing unquoted options in the same class, to quoted Bonus Options.

1.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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.

The issue of the Bonus Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

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 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under 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 for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Bonus Options.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Bonus Options.

1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Bonus Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. 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 Bonus Options.

7

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Bonus Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 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 Bonus Options.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Bonus Options were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were holders of a pre-existing class of Options as encouragement to those holders to exercise those Options;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 127,045,270 Bonus Options were issued;

  • (d) the Bonus Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Bonus Options were issued on 5 October 2021;

  • (f) the issue price of the Bonus Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Shares on a one (1) Bonus Option for every three (3) Exercised Options basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Bonus Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Bonus Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Bonus Options was to:

  • (i) encourage holders of the existing Bonus Options to exercise those existing Options, bringing additional cash into the Company; and

  • (ii) provide the Company with a potential source of additional capital if Bonus Options are exercised in the future,

  • (h) the Bonus Options were issued to pursuant to the Bonus Options Prospectus dated 2 September 2021. A summary of the material terms of the Bonus Options is set out in Schedule 1.

2.1 General

On 4 February 2022, the Company issued 177,905,556 Shares at an issue price of $0.009 per Share to raise approximately $1.6 million (before costs) ( Placement Shares ), comprising of: (a) 35,745,440 Shares issued under to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

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 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under 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 for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

The issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Broker Options.

4. RESOLUTION 5, 6 AND 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS – TROY FLANNERY, LINCOLN HO AND ROBERT PARTON

4.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 unquoted Director Options ( Director Options ) to Troy Flannery, Lincoln Ho and Robert Parton (or their nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options to the Related Parties.

4.2 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.

12

The issue of Director 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 Director 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 Director Options.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.3 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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 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;

  • 10.11.3 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 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 Director 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 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options within one (1) 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 Resolutions 5 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options.

5. RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO SIMON JONES

5.1 General

On 11 February 2022, the Company issued 555,000 Options to Simon Jones in consideration for geological work undertaken on the Mt Mansbridge Project ( Jones Options ). The Jones Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The geological work included assessment and identification of exploration areas within the Project.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 1 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Jones Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Geological Services.

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 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under 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 for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Jones Options.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Jones Options.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Jones Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Jones Options.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Jones Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of

17

equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Jones Options.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

  • (a) the Jones Options were issued to Simon Jones;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) Jones Options were issued and the Jones Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4;

  • (d) the Jones Options were issued on 11 February 2022;

  • (e) the Jones Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for geological work undertaken on the Mt Mansbridge Project. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Jones Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Jones Options); and

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Jones Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Geological Agreement,

the Jones Options were issued to Simon Jones under an agreement pursuant to which Mr Jones provided geological services to the Company in relation to its exploration projects and for which the Company agreed to issue him the Jones Options in lieu of a cash fee.
