The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at www.hannansreward.com.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JONATHAN MURRAY
3.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third AGM following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Jonathan Murray, who has served as a director since 2010 and was last re-elected on 21 November 2013, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Murray is a Partner of Steinepreis Paganin, an independent corporate and commercial law firm based in Perth, Western Australia. He has significant experience in advising on initial public offers and secondary market capital raisings, all forms of commercial acquisitions and divestments and providing general corporate and strategic advice.
Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Mr Murray graduated from Murdoch University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Laws and Commerce (majoring in Accounting). He is also a member of FINSIA (formerly the Securities Institute of Australia).

3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Jonathan Murray and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – CLAY GORDON
4.1 General
The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
5.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity) without using that company's existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $32,539,155 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2016).
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: HNR).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:
Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading companies active in a range of commodities within Australia, Africa and South East Asia. He was founding Non-Executive Director of ASX listed Phoenix Gold Limited and founding Managing Director of ASX listed Primary Gold Limited. Mr Gordon was also founder and CEO of Mining Assets Pty Ltd, a private company involved in the assessment and marketing of mineral projects. He is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.
During the past 3 years Mr Gordon has also served as a director of Primary Gold Ltd where he was appointed on 28 February 2013 and resigned on 7 March 2016.
4.3 Independence
Mr Gordon has no interests, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interest of the entity and its security holders generally.
If elected the board considers Mr Gordon will be an independent director.
4.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Gordon and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 5.2(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
- (iii) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
- (iv) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
(10% Placement Capacity Period).
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 11 October 2016.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

| Fundsraised | $3,253,916 | $6,507,831 | $9,761,747 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table uses the following assumptions:
-
- There are currently 1,626,957,755 Shares on issue. This does not take into account the shareholder approval required for Resolution 5;
-
- The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2016.
-
- The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
- The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
- This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(v) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
(vi) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
- (vii) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company's current assets and general working capital etc; or
- (viii)as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
- (ix) the purpose of the issue;
- (x) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
- (xi) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (xii) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
- (xiii)prevailing market conditions; and
- (xiv)advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 November 2015 (Previous Approval).
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 25 November 2015, the Company issued a total of 904,991,622 Shares and 72,912,500 Options which represents approximately 133% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 25 November 2015, which was 733,982,801 Shares.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.
Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
(xv) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
6. RESOLUTION 5 – PLACEMENT – SHARES
6.1 General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will raise up to $2,000,000 (Placement).
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 5 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to the Placement 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.
6.2 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 Placement:
- (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the issue price, equals $2,000,000;
- (b) the Shares 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) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;
(xvi)the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
5.3 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4.
- (c) the issue price will be not less than 80% of the volume weighted average price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the issue is made or, if there is a prospectus, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the prospectus is signed;
- (d) the Directors will determine to whom the Shares will be issued but these persons will not be related parties of the Company;
- (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares; and
- (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement towards exploration in Western Australia and ongoing working capital.
6.3 Dilution
The volume weighted average price for Shares on the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before 11 October 2016 was $0.021. The lowest issue price (ie maximum discount) of not less than 25% of this volume weighted average price would be $0.016 per Share.
Accordingly, set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued under Resolution 5 based on an assumed issue price of $0.016, $0.019 and $0.021.
| Assumedissue price | Maximum number of Shareswhich the Company couldissue (rounded up to thenearest whole number)pursuant to Resolution 5 | Current Shares onissue as at the dateof this Notice | Increase in the number ofShares on issue assumingthe Company issued themaximum amount pursuantto Resolution 5 | Dilution effect onexistingShareholders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.016 | 125,000,000 | 1,626,957,755 | 1,751,957,755 | 7.68% |
| $0.019 | 105,263,158 | 1,626,957,755 | 1,732,220,913 | 6.47% |
| $0.021 | 95,238,095 | 1,626,957,755 | 1,722,195,850 | 5.85% |
Assuming no Options are exercised or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Shares as set out in the worked example above are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 1,626,957,755 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 1,751,957,755 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 7.68%.
The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM
-
- (Appointing a proxy): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
- (Direction to vote): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. (Signing instructions):
- (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
- (Joint holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
- (Power of attorney): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
- (Companies): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
- (Attending the Meeting): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
- (Return of Proxy Form): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
- (a) post to Hannans Ltd, PO Box 1227, West Perth, WA 6872; or
- (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9324 3366; or
