Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11

The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties to vote on the Resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

Additionally, the Company will disregard any votes cast as Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 by any person appointed as a proxy by any person who is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member, unless:

  • (a) it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

For these reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. In particular, Shareholders who intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (including an appointment by default) are encouraged to direct the Chair of the Meeting as to how to vote on all Resolutions.

If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote for, against or abstain from voting on Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9 , 10 and 11 by marking the box opposite the respective Resolution on the Proxy Form. You should direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote on these Resolutions.

However, if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote in respect of Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 on the Proxy Form, you will be deemed to have directed and expressly authorised the Chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in favour of the relevant Resolution. This express authorisation acknowledged that the Chair of the Meeting may vote your proxy even if:

  • (a) Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member or members of the Key Management Personnel for the Company; and

  • (b) the Chair of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and that votes cast by the Chair of the Meeting for these Resolutions, other than as authorised proxy holder, will be disregarded because of that interest.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes accompanying this Notice of Meeting are incorporated in and comprise part of this Notice of Meeting, and should be read in conjunction with this Notice of Meeting.

If any Shareholder is in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their legal, financial or other professional adviser prior to voting.

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Terms defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.

Receiving financial statements and reports

The Corporations Act requires that Shareholders consider the annual consolidated financial statements and reports of the Directors and auditor every year.

There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Shareholders to approve the financial report, the Directors’ report or the auditor’s report. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to:

  • a) ask questions about, or make comments on, the management of the Company; and

  • b) ask a representative of the Company’s Auditor, Grant Thornton, questions relevant to:

  • 1) the conduct of the audit;

  • 2) the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • 3) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • 4) the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

A Member who is entitled to cast a vote at the Meeting may submit written questions to the Company’s Auditor if the question is relevant to the content of the Auditor’s report or the conduct of the audit of the annual financial report. A written question must be submitted by giving the question to the Company no later than 5:00pm (ACDT) on Friday 20 November 2020, being five business days before the day on which the Meeting is to be held and, the Company will then, as soon as practicable after the question has been received, pass the question on to the Auditor.

If the Company’s Auditor has prepared written answers to written questions, the Chair of the Meeting may allow these to be tabled at the Meeting and such written answers will be available to Members as soon as practicable after the Meeting. The Company will make copies of the question list reasonably available to Members attending the Meeting.

No Resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item of general business.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 is set out in the Directors’ Report within the 2020 Annual Report, which is available on the Company’s website: https://www.resolutionminerals.com/. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Directors, including the Managing Director, and members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.

Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires the Directors to include a Remuneration Report in their report for the financial year. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Remuneration Report to be put to a vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.

The Directors believe that the Company’s remuneration policies and structures are appropriate relative to the size of the Company and its business.

Board Recommendation : The Board, while noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

9

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Andrew Shearer as a Director of the Company

In accordance with clause 13.2 of the Constitution, there must be an election of Directors at each Annual General Meeting. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that:

  • (a) at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;

  • (b) the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots;

  • (c) a Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election; and

  • (d) in determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:

  • a. a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution; and/or

  • b. a Managing Director

each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.

Accordingly, Mr Andrew Shearer is required to retire as a Director of the Company and being eligible, has offered himself for reelection. A resume of Mr Shearer follows:

Mr Andrew Shearer , BSC (Geology), Hons (Geophysics), MBA (Non-executive Director)

Mr Shearer has been involved in the mining and finance industries for 25 years. With a geoscientific and finance background he has experience in the resources industry from exploration through to development. As a Resources Analyst, Mr Shearer has been exposed to the global resources sector covering small to mid-cap resource stocks across a broad suite of commodities. Prior to moving into the finance sector he spent over a decade working in the minerals exploration industry in technical and senior management roles. Mr Shearer brings to RML strong professional skills and experiences in equity research, investor relations, valuations, supply and demand analysis and capital markets.

Mr Shearer’s experience includes roles with PAC Partners Pty Ltd, Phillip Capital, Austock, South Australian Government, Mount Isa Mines Limited and Glengarry Resources Limited.

Mr Shearer is a founding Director of RML.

The Board does not consider Mr Shearer to be an independent Director as a result of his role as an employee of PAC Partners Securities. Mr Shearer has been a Director of the Company since 6 March 2017.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the re-election of Mr Shearer.

Board Recommendation : The Directors (other than Mr Shearer who does not make a recommendation) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the re-election of Mr Shearer.

Resolution 3: Re-election of Mr Craig Farrow as a Director of the Company

In accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution, an additional Director must stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting following their appointment.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office, without re-election, past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

10

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution provides that:

  • a) Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

  • b) any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for reelection but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the re-election of Mr Farrow.

Resolution 4: Issue of 10,000,000 Consideration Shares

The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, to issue 10,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Millrock transaction announced on or about 17 October 2019.

Under the terms of the Millrock transaction, the Company has agreed to an earn-in period of four years to earn up to 60% of the 64North Project and up to 80% upon satisfaction of key milestones. Under the terms of the agreement with Millrock, the Company is required to issue 10,000,000 Shares upon meeting a US$5.0 million expenditure requirement prior to 31 January 2021. Satisfaction of the expenditure commitment of US$5.0 million and issue of Consideration Shares will enable RML to achieve all of year 1 milestones earning 30% in the 64North Project and is expected to be satisfied prior to 31 January 2021.

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

Exception 17 of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception the listed company must not issue the equity securities without such approval.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares required to be issued to Millrock for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s earn-in commitment to earn its initial 30% interest in the 64North Project.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Millrock for the purpose of earning its 30% interest in the 64North Project. In addition, the Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Consideration Shares to Millrock and may be prevented from earning its 30% interest in the 64North Project in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Millrock. Failure to issue the Consideration Shares to Millrock will cause the earn-in agreement to terminate and the 64North Project will be lost.

The Company has been granted approval by Shareholders, at a general meeting held on 18 September 2020, to issue the Consideration Shares no later than 18 December 2020 – being 3 months following that approval. In the event that the Company does not issue the Consideration Shares in this 3 month period, this Resolution provides for more time for the year 1 earn-in conditions to be met and for Consideration Shares to be issued to Millrock.

11

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in respect of the proposed issue of Consideration Shares:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued at a deemed price of the 5 day VWAP for Shares on the ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the Consideration Shares are issued;

  • (b) there will be no funds raised upon the issue of Consideration Shares, as the Consideration Shares comprise part of the consideration for the right to acquire the interest in the 64North Project;

  • (c) the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Resolution 4 will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue; and

  • (d) the allotment as soon as reasonably practicable following the Meeting and upon satisfaction of the year 1 earn-in requirements, and in any event, within three (3) months of the date of the Meeting.

A summary of the material terms of the Millrock transaction was provided to the ASX in the Company's announcement dated on or about 17 October 2019.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the issue of 10,000,000 Consideration Shares pursuant to Resolution 4.

Resolution 5: Issue of 5,000,000 Drilling Consideration Shares

The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, to issue 5,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Millrock transaction announced on or about 17 October 2019.

Under the terms of the Millrock transaction, the Company has agreed to an earn-in period of four years to earn up to 60% of the 64North Project and up to 80% upon satisfaction of key milestones. Under the terms of the agreement with Millrock, the Company is required to issue 5,000,000 Shares upon drilling 7,500 diamond core metres. The issue of Shares under this condition will allow RML to maintain its interest in the 64North Project. Timing of satisfaction of this condition is not known at the time of drafting this Notice.

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

Exception 17 of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception the listed company must not issue the equity securities without such approval.

Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares required to be issued to Millrock for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s contractual commitment in the 64North Project.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Millrock for the purpose of meeting its contractual commitments and maintaining its interest in the 64North Project. In addition, the Drilling Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Drilling Consideration Shares to Millrock and will not meet its contractual commitments and interest in the 64North Project in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Millrock. Failure to issue the Drilling Consideration Shares to Millrock will cause the earn-in agreement to terminate and the 64North Project will be lost.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in respect of the proposed issue of Consideration Shares:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued at a deemed price of the 5 day VWAP for Shares on the ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the Consideration Shares are issued;

  • (b) there will be no funds raised upon the issue of Drilling Consideration Shares, as the Drilling Consideration Shares comprise part of the consideration for the right to acquire the interest in the 64North Project;

  • (c) the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Resolution 5 will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue; and

12

(d) the allotment as soon as reasonably practicable following the Meeting and upon satisfaction of drilling 7,500 metres at the 64North project, and in any event, within three (3) months of the date of the Meeting.

A summary of the material terms of the Millrock transaction was provided to the ASX in the Company's announcement dated on or about 17 October 2019.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the issue of 5,000,000 Consideration Shares pursuant to Resolution 5.

Resolution 6: Share Placement Facility

The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, for a Share placement facility to allow the issue of up to a maximum 50,000,000 new Shares on the terms described in this Resolution 6 ( Share Placement Facility ).

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to a 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.

The Company has entered into a transaction with Millrock whereby the Company is required to spend US$5,000,000 on exploration activities on the 64North Project for four years to earn up to 60% of the project. The purpose of the Share Placement Facility is to provide the Company with flexibility to raise further funds towards the 64North Project.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in respect of the Share Placement Facility:

  • (a) The Shares will be issued at a minimum price that is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price for Shares on the ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Securities were recorded before the day on which the issue will be made, or, if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, over the 5 days on which sales of Shares are recorded before the date of the prospectus;

  • (b) the names of the proposed allottees are not known and the quantity of the Shares to be issued to each allottee is not known. The Company intends (but without limitation) that the Shares will be issued to qualified clients of member firms of ASX or sophisticated or professional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company, and at the discretion of the Board;

  • (c) the funds raised will be used to progress the year 2 earn-in at the 64North Project and for working capital;

  • (d) the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Share Placement Facility will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue; and

  • (e) the allotment of Shares pursuant to the Share Placement Facility will occur as soon as reasonably practicable following this Annual General Meeting and in any event within three (3) months or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, then the Company will have the flexibility to issue more Securities during the 3 month period after the Annual General Meeting if an opportunity arises which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of these Shares would not make up part of the 15% limit and would enable that proportion of the 15% limit to be used for a future issue of Equity Securities.

If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, then the Company will not have the additional flexibility to issue Securities pursuant to the Share Placement Facility and may be unable to issue Securities as part of future opportunities and may be unable to raise further funds towards the 64North Project. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of these Shares would not make up part of the 15% limit and would enable that proportion of the 15% limit to be used for a future issue of Equity Securities.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the Share Placement Facility.

Resolution 7: Adoption of Performance Share Plan

Background

The Company has established a plan called the Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) as part of its overall remuneration strategy. The PSP provides for the issue of Performance Rights to contractors, employees, directors and executives of the Company and its associated bodies corporate who have been invited by the board to participate in the PSP. The Performance Rights result in the

13

  • issue of Shares. A copy of the PSP rules is available on the Company’s website https://www.resolutionminerals.com/about resolution-minerals/corporate-governance/.

The PSP is designed to provide the Company’s contractors, employees, directors and executives with an incentive to maximise the return to Shareholders over the long term and to assist in the attraction and retention of key contractors, employees, directors and executives.

Reason for approval

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued securities within a 12-month period.

However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b), an issue of Equity Securities by the Company under an employee incentive scheme will not be included in the calculation of the 15% if within 3 years before the date of issue, holders of Shares have approved the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. As a result, the Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) so that issues of Performance Rights under the PSP (and issues of the Shares issued on exercise of the Performance Rights) will not be included in the calculation of the 15% for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors, senior executives, employees and contractors of the Company and its associated bodies corporate are eligible under the PSP and any Performance Rights granted under the PSP will be at the discretion of the Directors.

A summary of the terms of the PSP is included as Appendix 1 to this Notice.

The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the PSP following approval is 30,000,000, including the Performance Rights proposed to be issued pursuant to this Notice. Approval of this Resolution does necessitate the issue of the proposed Performance Rights. The Board will determine the number of Performance Rights that will be issued in its sole and absolute discretion and this may be more or less than the Performance Rights under this Resolution. If the Board determines that more than 30,000,000 Performance Rights are issued in the upcoming 3 year period, then RML will be required to issue those Performance Rights under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Any Performance Rights issued to Directors under the PSP, will require separate Shareholder approval under the ASX Listing Rules.

The PSP has been in place since the Company’s admission to ASX on 20 September 2017. The number of Equity Securities issued under the PSP since the Company’s initial listing is detailed below:

TABLE 1

TABLE 1
Category 20 September 2017 to

Issued to executives - 500,000 -
Issued to employees - - 1,000,000
Total - 2,500,000 5,000,000

If Resolution 7 is approved, then the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the PSP and the issues will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of issue.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

Board Recommendation : As the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, the Directors make no voting recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote in relation to Resolution 7.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the adoption of the PSP.

Resolution 8: Adoption of Share Option Plan

Background

The Company has established a plan called the Share Option Plan (“SOP”) as part of the overall remuneration strategy of the Company. The SOP provides for the grant of Employee Options to subscribe for Shares to contractors, employees, directors and executives of the Company and its associated bodies corporate who are invited by the board to participate in the SOP. A copy of the

14

SOP rules is available on the Company’s website https://www.resolutionminerals.com/about-resolution-minerals/corporategovernance/.

The SOP is designed to provide the Company’s contractors, employees, directors and executives with an incentive to maximise the return to Members over the long term and to assist in the attraction and retention of key contractors, employees, directors and executives.

Reason for approval

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued securities within a 12-month period.

However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b), an issue of Equity Securities by the Company under an employee incentive scheme will not be included in the calculation of the 15% if within 3 years before the date of issue, holders of Shares have approved the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. As a result, the Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) so that issues of Employee Options under the SOP (and issues of the Shares issued on exercise of the Employee Options) will not be included in the calculation of the 15% for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors, senior executives, employees and contractors of the Company and its associated bodies corporate are eligible under the SOP and any Employee Options granted under the SOP will be at the discretion of the Directors.

A summary of the terms of the SOP is included as Appendix 2 to this Notice.

The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the PSP following approval is 20,000,000. Approval of this Resolution does necessitate the issue of the proposed Employee Options. The Board will determine the number of Employee Options that will be issued in its sole and absolute discretion and this may be more or less than the Employee Options under this Resolution. If the Board determines that more than 20,000,000 Employee Options are issued in the upcoming 3 year period, then RML will be required to issue those Employee Options under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Any Employee Options issued to Directors under the SOP will require separate Shareholder approval under the ASX Listing Rules.

The PSP has been in place since the Company’s admission to ASX on 20 September 2017. The number of Equity Securities issued under the PSP since the Company’s initial listing is detailed below:

TABLE 2

Total 450,000 - -

If Resolution 8 is approved, then the Company will be able to issue Shares pursuant to the SOP and the issues will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

Board Recommendation : As the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 8, the Directors make no voting recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote in relation to Resolution 8.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the adoption of the SOP.

Resolutions 9, 10 and 11: Issue of Director Performance Rights to Participating Directors

Background

Mr Duncan Chessell is the Managing Director of the Company with responsibility for the management and oversight of the Company’s operations. Mr Chessell’s remuneration comprises a base remuneration component and other cash benefits. Mr Shearer and Mr Farrow are non-executive Directors with responsibility of steering and oversight of the Company. For the purpose of remunerating Mr Chessell, Mr Shearer and Mr Farrow ( Participating Directors ) based on their qualifications and experience within the minerals exploration market and the desire to preserve cash, the Board has determined to include an incentive based component

15

to their remuneration package. The Participating Directors have been invited by the board of the Company to receive up to 1,500,000 Director Performance Rights if approved by Members at this Meeting.

Reason for approval – Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity, or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained. A Director is a related party of the Company. Accordingly, the Participating Directors are related parties of the Company due to their position as Directors and are therefore persons falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11.

The Participating Directors are Directors of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of a total of 1,500,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell, Mr Andrew Shearer and Mr Craig Farrow (the Participating Directors) (or their nominees) on the terms set out below. If approval of the issue of the Performance Rights is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of Director Performance Rights to the Participating Directors will therefore not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

All Director Performance Rights are proposed to be issued under the Company’s PSP.

If Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 are approved, then the Participating Directors will receive the relevant Director Performance Rights.

If Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 are not approved, no Director Performance Rights will be issued to the Participating Directors pursuant to the PSP.

Reason for approval – Corporations Act

The Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain “benefits” to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on ceasing their employment with the Company ( Termination Benefits ), in the absence of prior shareholder approval unless an exemption applies.

The term “benefit” is defined broadly in the Corporations Act and includes benefits arising from the Board exercising its discretion under the rules of the PSP.

Accordingly, Resolutions 9,10 and 11 also seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of the Company providing these Termination Benefits to the Participating Directors in accordance with the terms of the PSP.

Specifically, Shareholder approval is being sought to enable the Board to exercise certain discretions under the PSP, including the discretion to determine to waive some or all of the vesting conditions attaching to Performance Rights or accelerate their vesting, where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company, including as a result of redundancy, death, total or permanent incapacity and other circumstances determined by the Board.

This approval is being sought in respect of the current participation in the PSP, and the Termination Benefits that may arise if and when any Participating Director ceases to be engaged by the Company.

Other than as expressly set out in Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, no Director will participate in the PSP unless separate Shareholder approval is first obtained.

For the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act, the Company advises that various matters will or are likely to affect that value of the Termination Benefits that the Board may give under the PSP and, therefore the value of the Termination Benefits cannot be determined in advance.

The value of a particular benefit resulting from the exercise of the Board’s discretion under the PSP will depend on factors such as the Company’s share price at the time of the exercise of this discretion and the number of Performance Rights that the Board decides to waive the exercise conditions in respect of or for which the vesting date is accelerated. Some of the factors that may affect the value of the Termination Benefits are as follows:

  • (a) the nature and extent of any exercise conditions waived by the Board;

  • (b) the number of exercise conditions that have been satisfied at the time that the Board exercises this discretion; and

  • (c) the number of unexercised Performance Rights that the Participating Director holds at the time that this discretion is exercised.

Issue of Performance Rights to Participating Directors

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company intends to issue 500,000 Director Performance Rights to each Participating Director within 5 business days of the Meeting. The Performance Rights will vest in tranches upon each performance hurdle being met as approved by the Board. The Company will not issue the Director Performance Rights later than 12 months after the Meeting.

In the event that all Director Performance Rights vest upon satisfaction of the Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) (summarised below), the maximum number of Shares that would be issued to the participating Directors is 1,500,000. The Shares to be issued

16

upon vesting of the Director Performance Rights will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares at the date of issue.

The Company advises that there are no loans provided to the Participating Directors in relation to the issue of Director Performance Rights.

Further key terms of the PSP are included in Appendix 2 to this Notice.

Issue Price and Exercise Price

There is no issue price and consequently there are no funds raised upon issue of the Director Performance Rights as they are issued for nil consideration. Each Performance Right issued to the Directors will have a nil exercise price.

Key Performance Indicators

The Director Performance Rights vest and become exercisable if the KPI hurdle is satisfied by the Lapsing date.

Where KPI’s are met and Director Performance Rights are exercised, Shares on the exercise of Director Performance Rights are expected to be issued progressively over the three year period.

The KPI’s relate to the Participating Directors’ and the Company’s performance during the period 27 November 2020 to 31 December 2022. Director Performance Rights will lapse approximately two years after issue if the KPI hurdle is not met.

*Share Price KPI – 500,000 Director Performance Rights each

The Director Performance Rights will vest upon the Company’s share price exceeding a VWAP equal to 140% of the 5 day VWAP prior to the 2020 AGM at any time in the period to 31 December 2022 for a period of at least 1 month.

Should the Participating Director cease to be an officer of the Company, the corresponding unvested Director Performance Rights will expire within 3 months of their departure.

C Farrow 554,286 - - - -

If all of the Director Performance Rights granted to the Participating Directors vest and are exercised, then a total of 1,500,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 279,470,791 to 280,970,791 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 0.5%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Performance Rights will affect the value of the perceived benefit given to the Participating Directors. If, at any time, any of the Performance Rights vest, then there may be a perceived cost to RML. The trading history of Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice (to 18 September 2020) are:

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

The Participating Directors are Directors so are related parties of the Company. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights, pursuant to Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The Performance Rights which are proposed to be issued are considered by the Board to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rules Disclosure

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a Company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party (a Director), without first obtaining shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued to nominees of the Participating Directors;

  • (b) the number of Performance Rights to be issued is up to a total of 1,500,000;

  • (c) the issue of the Performance Rights subject of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 will occur no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) but will vest upon meeting the required KPIs;

  • (d) the Performance Rights will be issued for no consideration and no consideration is payable by the Participating Directors upon the exercise and conversion of the Performance Right to a Share; and

  • (e) no funds will be raised upon the issue of Performance Rights.

Board Recommendation

The Participating Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions on the basis that they are to be issued 500,000 Director Performance Rights each should Resolutions 9, 10, and 11 be passed.

With the exception of the Performance Rights to themselves, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11. The Directors (other than in respect of Performance Rights that relate to themselves) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9, 10 and 11 for the following reasons:

18

  • the issue of Director Performance Rights to the Participating Directors will better align the interests of the Participating Directors with those of Shareholders;

  • the issue of the Director Performance Rights 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 cash payments were given to the Participating Directors under their employment arrangements; and

  • it is not considered that there aren’t any significant opportunity costs to RML or benefits foregone by RML in the issue of Director Performance Rights on the terms proposed.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of the Participating Directors, the skills the Participating Directors bring to the Company and the current market price of Shares when determining the number of Director Performance Rights to be issued.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11.

Resolution 12: Issue of 214,286 Options to Melcraig Superannuation Pty Ltd (an entity associated with Director Craig Farrow)

Background

On 20 July 2020, the Company announced that it received firm commitments to issue 51,608,421 Shares under a private placement of Shares ( Placement ). The issue of Shares was undertaken under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (30,965,053 Shares) and 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (20,643,368 Shares). The Shares were subsequently issued on 28 July 2020.

Mr Craig Farrow participated in the Placement as a client of one of the broking firms engaged to manage the Placement for the Company. The Placement included attaching Options that were approved by Shareholders at the Shareholder meeting held on 18 September 2020. Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits the issue of Equity Securities to, among others, a related party of RML. A related party includes a director of RML and anyone who believes or has reasonable grounds to believe that they are likely to become a director of RML at any time in the future.

Based on analysis undertaken by the Company, it is clear that Mr Farrow was not a related party at the time of RML agreeing to the Placement and to issue the Placement shares and Options.

Though not required by the Listing Rules, Mr Farrow has agreed that RML seeks Shareholder approval at the AGM for the issue of Options to his associated Shareholding vehicle, on the same terms as other Placement participants.

ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires Shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a Director of the entity, an Associate of the Director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, Director or Associate of the Director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

Though not strictly required, the Company is seeking, Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 214,286 Options to Mr Farrow on the terms set out below.

If approval of the issue of the Options is given under Listing Rule 10.13, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of issue.

If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will be precluded from issuing the Options to Mr Farrow.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party. Mr farrow is therefore a related party of the Company.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of Options, pursuant to Resolution 12, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the Director participated in the Placement on the same terms as other participants.

19

ASX Listing Rules Disclosure

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a Company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a Director, without first obtaining shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

Party Melcraig Superannuation Pty Ltd (Melcraig Super A/C), an entity associated with Mr Craig Farrow, a
Director of the Company and a person falling within category 10.11.1.
Securities issued The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Farrow is 214,286 Options.
Terms The material terms of the Options are detailed in Appendix 3.
Shares issued upon the exercise of Options will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all
respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue.
Date of issue The Options the subject of Resolution 12 are proposed to be issued no later than 1 month after the
Meeting, subject to any waiver or relief that ASX may grant to permit their later issue.
Consideration The Options will be issued for no issue price or additional consideration as part of the terms of the
Placement outlined in this Notice of Meeting.
No funds were or will be raised upon the issue of Options as they were and will be issued for no
additional consideration. Funds will be raised upon the exercise of Options and will be used to progress
the Company’s exploration activities and for working capital purposes at that time.
Material terms of
agreement
There has been no agreement entered into in relation to the issue of Options.
Purpose The Options are being offered to participants in the Placement, for no additional consideration, and will
be offered to Mr Farrow on the same terms as other participants in the Placement.

Board Recommendation

Mr Farrow declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to the Resolution due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 12 on the basis that he will be issued 214,286 Options should Resolutions 12 be passed.

The Directors do not have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution related to the issue of Options to Mr Farrow. The Directors (other than Mr Farrow) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

The Directors make the recommendation above for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Options to Mr Farrow will equitably align his interests with those of Placement participants;

  • the issue of the Options is reasonable and appropriate as Mr Farrow participated in the Placement on the same terms as other applicants; and

  • it is not considered that there aren’t any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 12.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION

Resolution 13: Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued Share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting at which approval by special resolution of the issue is obtained ( 10% Placement Facility ). This 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and allows the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity at the date of this Notice of Meeting and must remain compliant with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of the Meeting to be able to utilise the additional capacity to issue Equity Securities under that Listing Rule.

20

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution which requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 13 is passed, the Directors will be able to issue Equity Securities in the Company for up to 10% of the Company’s Securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 13 is not passed, the Directors will be unable to issue Equity Securities under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity and the Company will be unable to raise funds using the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

Number of Securities

The formula for calculating the maximum amount of Securities to be issued or agreed to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility is calculated as follows:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of fully paid ordinary Securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or

    • o the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue Securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the 12 months; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary Securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months with approval under Listing Rule 7.4 (excluding an issue of Shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval);

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary Securities cancelled in the 12 months.

D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under this Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement and where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in Table 8 .

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company does not have any intention to issue any Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

21

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Additional Placement Capacity as follows:

1. Timing

The date by which the Equity Securities may be issued is the earlier of:

  • i) 12 months after the date of this Annual General 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 Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

2. Minimum issue price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under this 10% Additional Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities and issued for cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for 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 Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Securities; or

  • ii) if the Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph i), the date on which the Securities are issued.

3. Purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued

  • The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new projects, assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration or development expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

4. Risk of economic and voting dilution If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders, including the risk that:

  • i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting in which the approval under rule 7.1A is given; and

  • ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

Table 8 below shows:

  • i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary Securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary Securities on issue may increase as a result of ordinary Securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future meeting of Shareholders; and

  • ii) two examples where the issue price of ordinary Securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Table 8 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • Variable A being 279,470,791 Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;

  • The issue price set out above is based on a price of 7.3 cents, being approximate the 12 month weighted average price of RML Shares.

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

  • 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.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • Table 8 does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, pursuant to an exception set out in Listing Rule 7.2 or any other issue with the approval of shareholders.

  • Table 8 shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The funds raised have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

5. Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to, but not limited to, the following factors:

  • i) The purpose of the issue;

  • ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • iii) the effect of the issue in the Equity Securities on control of the Company;

  • iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

6. Previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2019 AGM on 26 November 2019. Table 9 shows the total number of Equity Securities issued, or agreed to be issued, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and the percentage those issue represent of the total Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

  • (j) In the event that the Options are accepted to the Official List, each Option will be freely transferable at any time before the Expiry Date.

  • (k) Options will not entitle or grant the Optionholder a right to participate in any new issue of securities by the Company unless the Option has been duly exercised prior to the relevant record date. The Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to participate in any new issues of securities to holders of Shares, that the record date will be at least five business days after the date the issue is announced.

  • (l) If, prior to the Expiry Date, there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares for no consideration:

  • (i) the number of Shares over which each Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

  • (m) If, prior to the Expiry Date, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including any consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital), the rights of the Optionholders may be varied to the extent necessary to comply with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules which apply at the time of the reorganisation.

  • (n) In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) of securities to holders of Shares prior to the Expiry Date, then the Exercise Price of the Options may be amended in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.
