EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

Accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum is the Notice of Meeting convening the Meeting and a Proxy Form.

2. RESOLUTION 1: Ratification of Prior Issue – Placement Shares (LR 7.1 and LR 7.1A)
2.1 Background to the Placement
On 24 April 2024, the Company announced it had secured commitments for a $2.3million private placement, through the issue of approximately 230 million Shares at $0.01 per Share (Placement Shares). The Placement Shares were issued with free attaching options (subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 2), as follows:
- (a) A free attaching option, issued on the basis of 1 option for every 3 Placement Shares subscribed for, exercisable on or before 30 June 2025 at $0.015 each (Placement Options A); and
- (b) An attaching bonus option to each Placement Option A, exercisable on or before 30 June 2026 at $0.025 each, with vesting subject to exercise of the Placement Option A (Placement Options B),
(together with the Placement Shares, the Placement).
The issue of the Placement Shares occurred in two tranches, with tranche 1 of the Placement Shares being issued without Shareholder approval under the Company's existing Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity on 3 May 2024 as follows:
- (a) 144,172,622 Placement Shares were issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 15% annual placement capacity, being the subject of approval sought under Resolution 1(a); and
- (b) 85,827,378 Placement Shares were issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A additional 10% annual placement capacity, being the subject of approval sought under Resolution 1(b).
Funds raised from the Placement will be applied in part towards the Company's Mongoose Deeps target the Company's Cloncurry Project and continue other planned programs across its north-west Queensland projects.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue the subject of Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b), the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares, the subject of Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are not passed the issue of the Placement Shares is still valid however 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.
2.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
On 30 November 2023, the Company held its annual general meeting where shareholder approval was sought and obtained to, amongst other things, approve an additional 10% Tranche 1 capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (Tranche 1 Capacity).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its Tranche 1 capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional Tranche 1 capacity:
- (a) will not be counted in variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
- (b) are counted in variable "E",
until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1(a) and (b) did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 1, the base figure (ie variable "A") in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual Tranche 1 capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares is still valid however it will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for 12 months following the issue or until additional approval is obtained at an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
2.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to obtain Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares, the subject of Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- (a) the Placement Shares were issued as follows:
- (i) 144,172,622 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 3 May 2024, of which, ratification is sought under Resolution 1(a); and
- (ii) 85,827,378 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 3 May 2024, of which, ratification is sought under Resolution 1(b).
- (b) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, ranking equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
- (c) the Placement Shares issued and allotted on 3 May 2024;
- (d) the Shares were issued at $0.01 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors identified through a bookbuild process by facilitators to the Placement, Euroz Hartley and Plutus Capital. The issue price of $0.01 represents a discount of 20% to the five-day volume average weighted price (VWAP), 5.13% to the 10 day VWAP and no discount to the 15 day VWAP;
- (e) a total of $2,300,000 in gross proceeds was raised from the issue of the Placement Shares. The actual funds received under the Placement of $[insert] will be used as follows:
- (i) $500,000 of the funds raised will be used to make a part payment on the Loan Facility (see Section 5);
- (ii) $920,000 will be used to meet the costs associated with drilling the Mongoose Prospect target and other planned drilling programs of the Company;
- (iii) $146,000 placement fee payable to the Facilitators to the Placement; and
- (iv) $734,000 will be allocated towards other exploration & working capital of the Company.
- (f) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement and are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and
- (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
2.5 Directors' Recommendation

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The proposed issue of the Placement Options A and B pursuant to Resolution 2 does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
If Resolution 2(a) is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options A. If Resolution 2(b) is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options B. The issue of Placement Options B will not go ahead if the issue of Placement Options A is not approved.
The issue of such Placement Options A and B 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.

7.1 Background
The Company proposes to issue Shares, Placement Options A and Placement Options B to the Directors in lieu of outstanding directors' fees owing as follows:
| Table 1 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holder | Securities | Quantity | ExercisePrice | Expiry | Deemed IssuePrice |
| Shares | 10,000,000 | N/A | N/A | $0.01 | |
| Robert Kirtlan | Placement Options A | 3,333,333 | $0.015 | 30.06.2025 | |
| Placement Options B | 3,333,333 | $0.025 | 30.06.2026 | ||
| Shares | 1,500,000 | N/A | N/A | $0.01 | |
| Mark Wallace | Placement Options A | 500,000 | $0.015 | 30.06.2025 | |
| Placement Options B | 500,000 | $0.025 | 30.06.2026 | ||
| Shares | 1,883,700 | N/A | N/A | $0.01 | |
| Mark Connelly | Placement Options A | 627,900 | $0.015 | 30.06.2026 | |
| Placement Options B | 627,900 | $0.025 | 30.06.2026 |
Table 2
| Director Name | Current Remuneration | Directors' Fees Owing |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Kirtlan | $296,000 | $100,000 |
| Mark Wallace | $84,000 | $15,000 |
| Mark Connelly | $48,000 | $18,837 |
The primary purpose of the issue of the securities pursuant to Resolution 6 is to satisfy the amounts owing to the Directors for Directors' fees as outlined in Table 2 above. Directors did not take fees for up to five months prior to 30 April 2024 to ensure the Company was able to financially progress its exploration activities. This issue is effectively Directors participating in the placement.
The Board considers the issue of securities under Resolution 6 to be an effective means of preserving the Company's cash position. If the resolutions are not passed the amounts outstanding become immediately due and payable.
7.2 Corporations Act requirements
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits an Australian public company from providing a financial benefit to a related party unless a specific statutory exception applies or prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit. A related party under the Corporations Act includes all directors of a public company. "financial benefit" has a wide meaning and includes the issue of securities by a public company to a director. The issue of securities under Resolution 6 to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace and Connelly (the Directors) amounts to the provision of a "financial benefit" to a related party.
One of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act applies where the financial benefit constitutes part of the related party's "reasonable remuneration". In addition, an exception to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act exists where the financial benefit is being provided on an arms' length basis.
The Board (other than Mr Kirtlan who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B to himself) considers that the issue of the securities to Mr Kirtlan constitutes part of Mr Kirtlan's remuneration as a director of the Company and to pay out his
remuneration in lieu of cash is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Kirtlan. The issue price of the Shares is at the same level as the issue price of the Shares under the Placement and the Placement Options A and Placement Options B are being issued on the same basis as under the Placement. Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Kirtlan) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B in lieu of Directors' fees owed to Mr Kirtlan.
The Board (other than Mr Wallace who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B to himself) considers that the issue of the securities to Mr Wallace constitutes part of Mr Wallace's remuneration as a director of the Company and to pay out his remuneration in lieu of cash is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Wallace. The issue price of the Shares is at the same level as the issue price of the Shares under the Placement and the Placement Options A and Placement Options B are being issued on the same basis as under the Placement. Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Wallace) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B in lieu of Directors' fees owed to Mr Wallace.
The Board (other than Mr Connelly who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B to himself) considers that the issue of the securities to Mr Connelly constitutes part of Mr Connelly's remuneration as a director of the Company and to pay out his remuneration in lieu of cash is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Connelly. The issue price of the Shares is at the same level as the issue price of the Shares under the Placement and the Placement Options A and Placement Options B are being issued on the same basis as under the Placement. Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Connelly) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Shares and Placement Options A and Placement Options B in lieu of Directors' fees owed to Mr Connelly.
It is the view of the Directors that the issue of securities to Directors under Resolution 6 falls under both the arms' length and reasonable remuneration exception in Sections 210 and 211 of the Corporations Act respectively, and accordingly, Shareholder approval is only being sought under Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
7.3 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) a related party;
- (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;
- (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;
- (d) an associate of a person referred to in Section 7.3(a) to 7.3(c) above; or
- (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Sections 7.3(a) to Section 7.3(d) is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
- (f) unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of the securities to the Directors (or their nominees) under Resolution 6 falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as they are all a related party to the Company, and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12.
The Company therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders to issue the securities in Resolution 6 under Listing Rule 10.11.
7.4 Listing Rule Notice Requirements

7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 6(a) to 6(i) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the securities to the Directors as detailed in Section 7 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the securities under Resolution 6 (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.13), the issue of the securities will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 6(a) to 6(i) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the securities to the Directors and will need to draw upon cash reserves to pay the Directors' fees owing.
7.6 Directors' Recommendation
The Directors do not make any recommendation with respect to the issue of the securities under Resolution 6 as such recommendation regarding the remuneration of the Directors of the Company may be a conflict of interest (as set out in ASIC guidance set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 76).

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the securities to Outland Investments and satisfy the outstanding debt owed under the Loan Facility.

8.4 Directors' Recommendation
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) are in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7(a), (b) and (c).
9. RESOLUTION 8 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
9.1 Background
Resolution 8, comprising three separate resolutions, seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Options to executive and non-executive directors, comprising a total of 50,000,000 Options as follows:
- (a) 30,000,000 Options to Robert Kirtlan (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(a);
- (b) 15,000,000 Options to Mark Wallace (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(b); and
- (c) 5,000,000 Options to Mark Connelly (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(c);
together, the "Directors' Options".
9.2 Chapter 2D of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director who has a "material personal interest" in a matter being considered at a directors' meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered or vote on the matter. Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are insufficient directors to form a quorum at a directors' meeting because of section 195(1), the directors may call a Meeting of shareholders to consider the matter. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider any matters relating to the proposed issue of Options under Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c), as Robert Kirtlan, Mark Wallace and Mark Connelly, being all of the Directors of the Company, have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c). Therefore, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act.
9.3 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 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 issue of the Directors' Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the parties the subject of Resolution 8 are related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
In respect of Resolution 8(a), the Directors (other than Robert Kirtlan who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8(a)), consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the agreement to issue 30,000,000 Options to Non-Executive Chair, Robert Kirtlan, constitutes reasonable remuneration.
In respect of Resolution 8(b), the Directors (other than Mark Wallace who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8(b)), consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the agreement to issue 15,000,000 Options to Director, Mark Wallace, constitutes reasonable remuneration.
In respect of Resolution 8(c), the Directors (other than Mark Connelly who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8(c)), consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the agreement to issue 5,000,000 Options to Director, Mark Connelly, constitutes reasonable remuneration.
9.4 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) a related party (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 (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 (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 (Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Directors the subject of Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c) fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c) require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
9.5 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If each of Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Directors' Options 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 Directors' Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Directors' Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If any of Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Directors' Options for the respective Resolution and the Company may consider other mechanisms to reasonably remunerate and incentivise the respective Director.
Resolution 8 is made up of three separate ordinary resolutions which are not dependent on each other.
9.6 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 Resolutions 8(a) to 8(c):
- (a) The Directors' Options will be issued to the Directors as follows:
- (i) 30,000,000 Options to Robert Kirtlan (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(a);
- (ii) 15,000,000 Options to Mark Wallace (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(b); and
- (iii) 5,000,000 Options to Mark Connelly (or his respective nominee/s), the subject of Resolution 8(c).
each of which fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as each proposed allottee of the Directors' Options is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.
- (b) A maximum of 50,000,000 Directors' Options will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the amounts described in paragraph (a) above.
- (c) The Directors' Options will be issued for nil consideration as the Directors' Options constitute incentives for the Directors in their current directorship role with the Company, accordingly no funds will be raised.
- (d) The exercise price of the Directors' Options is $0.025 each, unless a cashless exercise is utilised as detailed in (i) below. The Directors' Options expire on 30 June 2027.
- (e) The terms and conditions of the Directors' Options are set out in Schedule 4 to this Notice.
- (f) The shares issued following exercise of a Directors' Option will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally with other shares on issue at the time of exercising the Directors' Option.
- (g) If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will issue the Directors' Options within 1 month of 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 Directors' Options will occur on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter).
- (h) The Directors' Options forms part of each Directors' reasonable remuneration. The Company considers the Directors' Options as a reasonable and cost-effective way to incentivise Directors.
(i) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Directors' Options. If the Directors' Options are all exercised, $1,250,000 will be raised through the payment of the exercise price, being $0.025 per Directors' Option, unless a cashless exercise is utilised.
The cashless exercise facility allows the Director to exercise the Options without payment of the exercise price (Cashless Exercise Facility). Where the Cashless Exercise Facility is utilised, the Director would only be issued or transferred that lesser number of Shares as is equal in value to the difference between the exercise price and the market value of the Shares at the time of exercise in accordance with the following formula:
$$ S = \frac{O \times (MV - OEP)}{MV} $$
S = the number of Shares to be issued to the Director on exercise of Options using the Cashless Exercise Facility.
O = the number of Options exercised by the Director using the Cashless Exercise Facility.
MV = the VWAP per Share during the five trading days ending on the day before the time of exercise using the Cashless Exercise Facility.
OEP = the Exercise Price per Option of the Options exercised using the Cashless Exercise Facility
- (j) Directors current remuneration is as per Section 7.1, Table 2.
- (k) A voting exclusion notice is included with this Notice.
9.7 Directors' recommendation
The Directors do not make any recommendation with respect to the issue of the securities under Resolution 8 as such recommendation regarding the remuneration of the Directors of the Company may be a conflict of interest (as set out in ASIC guidance set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 76).
