The Company intends to hold a physical in-person meeting. Due to public health measures mandated by various regulatory authorities as means of combating the COVID-19 pandemic, for the health and safety of all Shareholders and Company officers Redstone Resources Limited encourages shareholders to vote by proxy, rather than attending the meeting in person.

-
provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.
If such evidence is not received before the Meeting, then the body corporate (through) its representative will not be permitted to act as proxy.

If you intend to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for each Resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “For”, “Against” or “Abstain”), If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on any of the Resolutions, by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are considered to have provided the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention, even if the Resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
If you intend to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or another member of the Key Management Personnel, or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 3,, 8, 9 10 and 14 by marking the appropriate box. If you don’t, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 3, 8, 9, 10 and 14. If the Chair is your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but you do not direct them how to vote on a Resolution (that is, you do not mark any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that Resolution), the Chair may then vote as they see fit on that Resolution.
If the Chair is a person referred to in the voting prohibition statement applicable to a Resolution under section 224 of the Corporations Act, the Chair will only be able to cast a vote as proxy for you on the relevant Resolution if you are entitled to vote and have specified your voting intention in the Proxy Form. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to specify their voting intention for every Resolution in the Proxy Form.
If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chair, who is required to vote proxies as directed.
It is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions including Resolutions 3, 8, 9 and 10.

REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
General Information
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders to understand the business to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Friday, 28 January 2022.
The purpose of the Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that the Board believes to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to approve the above resolutions in the Notice (of which this Explanatory Memorandum forms a part).
AGENDA
1. Financial Report, Directors’ and Auditor’s Report
The Corporations Act requires:
-
the reports of the Directors and auditors; and
-
the 2021 Annual Report,
to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders at the Meeting will be given reasonable opportunity to raise questions or comments.
Reasonable opportunity will also be given to Shareholders at the Meeting to ask the Company’s auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The 2021 Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.redstone.com.au.
2. Resolutions 1 & 2 – Re-election of Messrs Richard Homsany and Edward van Heemst
Rule 8.1(d) of the Constitution requires that at every annual general meeting of the Company, one third of Directors (after excluding a Director who is the Managing Director or any Director appointed by the Board since the date of the last annual general meeting of the Company), or if this number of Directors is 5 or less, then 2 of the remaining Directors, must retire from office and if eligible seek reelection in accordance with Rule 8.1(i) of the Constitution.
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.
Accordingly, Messrs Homsany and Van Heemst retire by rotation and, being willing and eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The experience and qualifications of, and other information about, Messrs Homsany and Van Heemst can be found in the 2021 Annual Report.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors (excluding Mr Homsany) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
The Directors (excluding Mr Van Heemst) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
3. Resolution 3 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report (Non-Binding)
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 Board or 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 2021 Annual Report.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Voting consequences
While the vote does not bind the Company or the Directors, there are important consequences if there is a material ‘against’ vote on Resolution 3. Changes to the Corporations Act that came into effect on 1 July 2011 introduced what is referred to as the ‘two strikes’ rule, whereby if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, a company will be required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the company (the Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 3 at the Annual General Meeting are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, this will constitute a ‘first strike’, and if at least 25% of the votes are cast against the 2022 Remuneration Report resolution at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting, constituting a ‘second strike’, then the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider a Spill Resolution.
The Board considers that the Company’s remuneration arrangements as set out in the Remuneration Report are fair, reasonable and appropriate, in line with industry standards and structured in a way that the Company can attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced employees to manage the Company.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
4. Resolution 4 - Ratification of Previous Issue of Placement Shares
4.1. Background
On 1 March 2021 the Company announced a placement of Shares ( Placement Shares ), at an issue price of $0.012 per Placement Share, to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,600,000.
The announcement also stated that all Directors would participate in the placement. The issue of Placement Shares for up to $325,000 (before costs) to any of the Directors and/or their nominee(s) is dependent on the Company obtaining Shareholder approval, which Shareholder approval is the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7 inclusive.
4,891,760 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 26 February 2021 ( Issue Date ). The ratification of the issue of these 4,891,760 Placement Shares is sought under Resolution 4 in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
14
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
4.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.4
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 period.
The Issue of 4,891,760 Placement Shares on the Issue Date does not fit within any of these exceptions 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 Issue Dates.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if Shareholders subsequently approve it and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce Redstone’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing 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, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the 4,891,760 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
To this end Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 4,891,760 Placement Shares on the Issue Date under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of 4,891,760 Placement Shares on the Issue Date will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of 4,891,760 Placement Shares on the Issue Date will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
4.3. ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
The following information is provided for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- (a) Number and class of securities issued
Placement Shares – 4,891,760 fully paid ordinary shares
-
(b) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue
-
$0.012 per Placement Share
-
(c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities
-
The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other Shares on issue and are listed on the ASX.
-
(d) The date or dates on which the securities were issued
The 4,891,760 Placement Shares were issued on 26 February 2021.
- (e) The name of the persons to whom Redstone issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified or selected
The Placement Shares were issued to various professional or sophisticated investors who were clients of 180 Markets Pty Ltd, the Lead Manager to the Placement. The investors were identified and selected from offer applications received following 180 Markets Pty Ltd inviting its professional and sophisticated investor clients to subscribe to the offer. None of the persons to whom Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 4 were issued were related parties of the
15
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
-
Company or associates of those persons. The issue of Placement Shares to Directors is the subject of the Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolutions 5, 6 and 7.
-
(f) The purpose of the issue, including the use (or intended use) of funds raised
The net funds raised by the issue of the Placement Shares will enable Redstone to continue to evaluate its 100% owned West Musgrave Project, to evaluate and develop the HanTails Gold Project Farmin and Joint Venture, and for working capital purposes.
Directors' Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further Securities representing up to 15% (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
5. Resolutions 5,6 and 7- Approval of the Issue of Placement Shares to Redstone Directors
5.1. Background
Please see Section 4.1 of this Explanatory Memorandum for the background to Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive), which seek Shareholder approval for the grant of a total of up to 27,083,333 Placement Shares to Directors and/or their nominee(s). Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are separate resolutions and they are not conditional on the passing of each other.
The number of Placement Shares Redstone is proposing to issue to the Directors and/or their nominee(s), subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, for the purposes ASX Listing Rule 10.11, is as follows:
| Resolution | Director | # of Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution 5 | Richard Homsany | 8,333,333 |
| Resolution 6 | Edward van Heemst | 16,666,667 |
| Resolution 7 | Brett Hodgins | 2,083,333 |
| Total | 27,083,333 |
5.2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
(a) a related party (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issues of Placement Shares, the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive), to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are to related parties of the Company, in their capacity as Directors. As the proposed issue 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.
16
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Accordingly, Resolutions 5 to 7 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares, the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive), to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins respectively under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 5 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares to Directors to raise additional funds up to a total of $325,000 for the Company to use for the purpose as outlined in item (g) below.
If Resolutions 5 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Issue of Placement Shares to raise additional funds up to a total of $325,000 for the Company to use for the purpose as outlined in item (g) below.
Information required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13 in relation to the Shareholder approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 pursuant to Resolutions 5 to 7 is set out below.

Resolution 5 – to be issued to Mr Homsany (and/or his nominee(s)). Resolution 6 – to be issued to Mr van Heemst (and/or his nominee(s)). Resolution 7 – to be issued to Mr Hodgins (and/or his nominee(s)).
- (b) Which category in Listing Rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the person falls within and why

Mr Homsany – 8,333,333 Placement Shares (Resolution 5) Mr van Heemst – 16,666,667 Placement Shares (Resolution 6) Mr Hodgins– 2,083,333 Placement Shares (Resolution 7)

The net funds raised by the issue of the Placement Shares will contribute to cash reserves to enable Redstone to further evaluate its 100% owned West Musgrave Project, to continue to evaluate and develop the HanTails Gold Project Farmin and Joint Venture and for working capital purposes.
5.3. ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that prior approval of Shareholders is required for an issue of Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will, when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required under Exception 14 to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in order to issue the Placement Shares to the Directors and/or their nominee(s) if approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
17
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
If Shareholders approve Resolutions 5 to 7 inclusive, the issue of a total of 27,083,333 Placement Shares to the Directors and/or their nominee(s) will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5.4. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. The issue of Placement Shares to the Directors under Resolutions 5 to 7 inclusive, constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to related parties.
It is the view of the Directors that the issue of Placement Shares falls within the arm’s length exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act. In forming this view, the Directors consider the issue of Placement Shares:
-
were negotiated at arm’s length;
-
are issued on the same terms and conditions as those for the other placement participants; and
-
are reasonable in the circumstances at the time if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.
Accordingly, the Directors have determined that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of Placement Shares to the Directors pursuant to Resolutions 5 to 7 inclusive.
Directors' recommendation
Mr Homsany declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Mr van Heemst declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
Mr Hodgins declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive).
6. Resolutions 8 to 10 (inclusive) - Approval of the Issue of Annexure A Options to Directors
6.1. Background
Resolutions 8 to 10 (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders for the issue of up to 22,000,000 Annexure A Options to Directors and/or their nominee(s) for the purposes ASX Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
| Resolution | Director | # of Annexure A Options *() ** |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution 8 | Richard Homsany | 10,000,000 |
| Resolution 9 | Edward van Heemst | 6,000,000 |
| Resolution 10 | Brett Hodgins | 6,000,000 |
| Total | 22,000,000 |
18
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
(*) Expiry date on or before 5.00pm WST on 23 January 2027 and an exercise price that is at least 145% of the volume weighted average price for Shares traded on the ASX over the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the day of the Annual General Meeting.
6.2. Options to Directors (Resolutions 8 to 10 inclusive)
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, subject to certain exceptions (none of which are relevant here), a company must not issue or grant securities to a related party without shareholder approval.
The object of Resolutions 8 to 10 inclusive is to provide the Directors with a mechanism to participate in the future development of the Company and an incentive for their future involvement with and commitment to the Company. The Directors believe that the success of the Company in the future will depend in part, largely, upon the skills of the people engaged to manage the Company's operations. Accordingly, it is important that the Company is able to attract and retain people of the highest calibre. The Directors consider that the most appropriate means of achieving this is to provide directors with an opportunity to participate in the Company's future growth and an incentive to contribute to that growth.
The Directors believe that the grant of the Annexure A Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non - cash form of this benefit 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.
6.3. Terms of Annexure A Options
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Annexure A Options will be granted on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.
The Annexure A Options will have an expiry date on or before 5.00pm WST on 23 January 2027 and an exercise price that is at least 145% of the volume weighted average price for Shares traded on the ASX over the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the day of the Annual General Meeting
6.4. Part 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. The issue of the Annexure A Options to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins under Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 respectively, constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to related parties.
It is the view of the Directors that the proposed grant of Annexure A Options pursuant to Resolutions 8 to 10 inclusive, falls within the exception under section 211 of the Corporations Act (reasonable remuneration) given the circumstances of the Company and the positions held by Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins. Accordingly, the Directors have determined not to seek Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act for the grant of the Annexure A Options to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins pursuant to Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 respectively.
The Board’s view concluded that the totality of Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins remuneration packages, including the equity component of up to 22,000,000 Annexure A Options now to be considered for approval by Shareholders, is fair and reasonable in the circumstances of Redstone given its size and stage of development, market practice of other companies in the mineral exploration industry and given the necessity to attract and retain the highest calibre of skilled professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves, and in light of Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgin’s management experience and knowledge of the mineral exploration industry.
6.5. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
(a) a related party (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1);

19
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issues of Annexure A Options, the subject of Resolutions 8 to 10 (inclusive), to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are to related parties of the Company, in their capacity as Directors. As the proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 it therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Accordingly, Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Annexure A Options, the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, the Company will not be able to issue the Annexure A Options, the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins.
If Shareholder approval is obtained for Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, the Annexure A Options, the subject of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, to Messrs Homsany, van Heemst and Hodgins will be issued by the Company within one month of Shareholder approval.

7. Resolution 11 – Approval of the Issue of Annexure A Options to Key Consultants and/or
Employees
7.1. Background
The Board has decided to reward the efforts of key consultants and/or employees for services previously rendered to the Company over the past 12 months. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 5,000,000 Annexure A Options to Dr Greg Shirtliff of Zephyr Professional Pty Ltd, a key technical geological consultant to the Company, and 5,000,000 Annexure A Options to Ms Miranda Conti, Company Secretary, a key employee of the Company.
The Annexure A Options will have an expiry date on or before 5.00pm WST on 23 January 2022 and an exercise price that is at least 145% of the volume weighted average price for Shares traded on the ASX over the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the day of the Annual General Meeting.

REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
7.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.3
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 period.
The issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company 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 of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees of the Company.
The following information is provided for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.
- (a) The name of the persons to whom Redstone will issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified or selected
Key consultants and/or employees (and/or their nominee(s)), none of whom are related parties or substantial shareholders of the Company:
- Dr Greg Shirtliff (or his nominee), Geological Consultant – up to 5,000,000 Annexure A Options
- Ms Miranda Conti (or her nominee), Company Secretary – up to 5,000,000 Annexure A Options
-
(b) Number and class of securities the entity will issue
-
Up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options.
-
(c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities
The Annexure A Options will have an expiry date on or before 5.00pm WST on 23 January 2027 and an exercise price that is at least 145% of the volume weighted average price for Shares traded on the ASX over the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the day of the Annual General Meeting.
The terms and conditions of the Annexure A Options are set out in Annexure A.
- (d) The date or dates on or by which the entity will issue the securities
The Annexure A Options will be issued within three months of the date of the Meeting (or such later date as may be approved by ASX (including such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).
- (e) The price or other consideration the entity will receive for the issue
22
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
-
Nil. The Annexure A Options will beissued as an incentive for technical, management and corporate administration services provided to the Company.
-
(f) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue
As the Annexure A Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised by their issue. Any funds received by the Company upon exercise of the Annexure A Options will be used for general exploration and development work on Redstone projects and for working capital purposes.
Directors' Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11, as it approves the above issue of up to 10,000,000 Annexure A Options to key consultants and/or employees and retains the Company’s flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s Share capital during the next 12 months.
8. Resolution 12 – Approval of the Issue of Shares – Equity Capital Raising
8.1. Background
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue and allotment of up to 200,000,000 Shares to sophisticated and/or professional investors under any proposed private placement ( Proposed Private Placement ).
The net funds raised by any proposed issue of the Shares will contribute to cash reserves to enable Redstone to undertake further reverse circulation (RC) and/or aircore drilling at its 100% owned West Musgrave Project to evaluate oxide copper resource, to re-evaluate the Tollu resource and to continue testing identified targets (structural geophysical and geochemical) and to further evaluate and develop the HanTails Gold Project, including, where warranted, for metallurgical testing of recoveries of metal and to undertake RC drilling to evaluate structures beneath the tailings dam and for working capital purposes.
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 period.
The Proposed Private Placement does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 12 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Proposed Private Placement under and
for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is passed, Redstone will be able to proceed with the Proposed Private Placement to sophisticated and/or professional investors and raise funds for the purposes set out above. In addition, the Proposed Private Placement will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that Redstone can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, and Redstone has the requisite capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, the issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares under the Proposed Private Placement 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 of up to 200,000,000 Shares under the Proposed Private Placement .
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 Disclosure Requirements

- (d) The price or other consideration the entity will receive for the securities
The issue price of the Shares will be no less than 80% of the volume weighted average price of Shares on the ASX for the 5 Trading Days immediately before the date of issue of the Shares.
- (e) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue
The net funds raised by any proposed issue of the Shares will contribute to cash reserves to enable Redstone, to undertake further reverse circulation (RC) and/or aircore drilling at its 100% owned West Musgrave Project to evaluate oxide copper resource, to re-evaluate the Tollu resource and to continue testing identified targets (structural geophysical and geochemical) and to further evaluate and develop the HanTails Gold Project, including, where warranted, for metallurgical testing of recoveries of metal and to undertake RC drilling to evaluate structures beneath the tailings dam and for working capital purposes.
Directors' Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval.
9. Resolution 13 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
9.1. Background
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a 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 period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at is annual general meeting, to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an Eligible Entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice the market capitalisation of the Company is $9,346,988.
24
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for Redstone to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 13, 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 (as set out in the Summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (b) below).
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A during the period of 12 months after the Meeting without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 13 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issued Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 13 is a special resolution. Accordingly, 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 13 for it to be passed.
9.2. Summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities. At the date of this Notice, the Company has one class of quoted Equity Securities, being its Shares.
- (b) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number if fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
9.3. Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 13:
- (a) Minimum Price at which Equity Securities may be issued
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 Trading 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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) Risk of economic and 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 13 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 current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice assuming the full 10% dilution.
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.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.007 (50% decrease in issue price) |
$0.014 (Issue price) |
$0.021 (50% increase in issue price) |

*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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
- The current Shares on issue are as at the date of the Notice.
26
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on 9 December 2021 of $0.014.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity hence the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
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, and if necessary, seek advice from their professional advisers.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and not dilution under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, or Shareholder approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed options, it is assumed that those listed options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Equity Securities to be issued may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue.
-
(c) 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:
-
(i) The date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
- (d) Purpose of Funds Raised under an Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds to continue to evaluate its 100% owned West Musgrave Project, to further evaluate and develop the HanTails Gold Project Farmin and Joint Venture and for working capital purposes.
- (e) Allocation policy for issues under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities will be current Shareholders or new investors (or both), but in either case will not be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) 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;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
27
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
- (f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has previously obtained approval from Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meetings held on 27 November 2020 ( 2020 Previous Approval ), 29 November 2019, 29 November 2018, 28 November 2017, 29 November 2016, 27 November 2015, 28 November 2014, 29 November 2013 and 29 November 2012.
During the period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 27 November 2020 the Company issued 64,691,573 Equity Securities on 26 February 2021 pursuant to the 2020 Previous Approval, representing approximately 9.13% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company as at the date of the issue, which number was 708,930,778.
Further details of the issue of Equity Securities by the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting as required by Listing Rule 7.3A.6 is set out in Schedule 1.
- (g) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not invited any existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of security holder to participate in any such issue. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 13.
However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders’ votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
9.4. Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.105A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
(i) a list of 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
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors consider that the approval of the issue of the 10% Placement Capacity described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further Shareholder approval), should it be required. At the date of the Notice, the Company has no plans to use the 10% Placement Capacity should it be approved.
10. Resolution 14 - Approval of Employee Share Option Plan
10.1. Background
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13, for the grant of Options under the 2006 Redstone Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) (and the issue of Shares in the Company on exercise of those Options) from time to time as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years commencing on the date of the Meeting without being required to count those securities as part of, and without reducing, the number of securities which the Company can issue under its annual 15% limit. The impact is that for a period of three years the grant of Options, or issue of Shares upon exercise of the Options, will be excluded from the number of securities used to determine the Company’s annual 15% limit in each rolling 12 month period.
28
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 42 090 169 154 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Options will be granted and issued under the ESOP at the discretion of the Board. The Company wishes to exempt issues of securities under the ESOP from contributing towards the rolling annual limit of 15% of issued ordinary shares prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the 15% placement capacity). This limit otherwise applies to all new issues of equity securities made without Shareholder approval.
The purpose of the ESOP is to:
-
Assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible employees;
-
Link the reward of eligible employees to shareholder value creation; and
-
Align the interests of eligible employees with Shareholders by providing an opportunity to eligible employees to receive an equity interest in the form of Options
10.2. Exception to Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that period (15% Placement Capacity) except with prior Shareholder approval in general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 such that an issue under an employee incentive scheme (which includes the ESOP) does not use the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity if within three years before the issue date ordinary security holders approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
Any future issues of Options under the ESOP to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company proposes to issue a maximum of 90 million options under the ESOP within the three year period following approval of this Resolution. It is however noted that this maximum number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the Plan, but is instead a ceiling for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.
If Resolution 14 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the ESOP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
In the event that Shareholders do not approve Resolution 14, the Company will not be able to issue Options under the ESOP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without seeking Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
10.3. Summary of ESOP
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the ESOP is set out below:
-
(a) The primary purpose of the ESOP is to recognise the ability and efforts of employees of the Company, to attract persons of ability and experience and to foster and promote loyalty between the Company and its employees.
-
(b) The ESOP is available to eligible persons who will be determined by the Board but must be persons who are Directors or employees (whether full-time or part-time) of the Company or its subsidiaries. The issue of Options to Directors under the ESOP will require Shareholder approval in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
-
(c) Options will lapse if the eligible person ceases to be an eligible person for any reason other than retirement, permanent disability, redundancy or death.
-
(d) Options will be issued for nil consideration.
-
(e) Options issued will be subject to conditions that must be satisfied in order for them to be exercised. These conditions will be determined by the Board when it resolves to offer the Options and will be in accordance with the purpose of the ESOP.

-
(m) If there is a bonus share issue ( Bonus Issue ) to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue ( Bonus Shares ). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of the profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue and upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with the other shares of that class on issue at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.
-
(n) If there is a pro rata issue (other than a Bonus Issue) to the holders of Shares during the currency of, and prior to the exercise of any Options, the Exercise Price of an Option will be adjusted in the manner provided for in the Listing Rules.
-
(o) If, prior to the expiry of any Options, there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, Options will be reorganised in accordance with the Listing Rules.
-
(p) The Company shall not offer or issue Options to any eligible person in accordance with the ESOP if the total number of Shares the subject of the Options being offered, when aggregated with any other Shares issued under the ESOP over the previous five years, would exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares in the Company at the time of the offer under the ESOP.
-
