Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15
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, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 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, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 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, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 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, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 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, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 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.

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.

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

-
1) the conduct of the audit;

GENERAL BUSINESS
Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 is set out in the Directors’ Report within the 2021 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.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Craig Farrow 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 Craig Farrow is required to retire as a Director of the Company and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election. A resume of Mr Farrow follows:
Mr Craig Farrow , FCA, LLB (Non-Executive Director)
Mr Farrow brings to Resolution a strong commercial background spanning multiple industry sectors over a 30 plus year career. Mr Farrow was a founding director of telecommunications business M2 Group, Chair since 2006, was instrumental in the merger between Vocus Communications and M2 Group Ltd in 2016 and continuing as Deputy Chair of Vocus until February 2018 (ASX:VOC). He has also served as Chair of ASX listed Companies Bulletproof Group (ASX:BPF) and Murray River Organics (ASX:MRG) and multiple unlisted board roles as both a non-executive Director and Chair.
The Board considers Mr Farrow not to be an independent Director as defined in the Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations due to his performance right holdings in the Company.
Mr Farrow has been a Director of the Company since 17 August 2020 and is standing for re-election at this AGM.
Board Recommendation : The Directors (other than Mr Farrow who is not entitled to make, and 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 Farrow.
Resolutions 3 and 4: Ratification of 22,000,000 ATM Shares issued on 30 April 2021 and Ratification of 84,418,223 Placement Shares issued on 22 September 2021
On 30 April 2021, the Company announced an issue of 22,000,000 Shares to Acuity under an At-the-Market deed under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
On 15 September 2021, the Company announced that it received firm commitments to issue 84,418,223 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 (41,850,262 Shares) and 10% Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (42,567,961 Shares). The Shares were subsequently issued on 22 September 2021.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
10
The relevant Shares issued to participants in the Placement and ATM Shares did not fall within an exception and were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement and ATM Share issue by Resolutions 3 and 4. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement and ATM Shares 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 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the relevant issues will be included 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 decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a Notice sent to Shareholders for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in these Explanatory Notes for that purpose:

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the ratification of 22,000,000 ATM Shares issued on 30 April 2021 and 84,418,223 Placement Shares issued on 22 September 2021.
Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8: Issue of Benmara Consideration Shares, Issue of Murphy Consideration Shares, Issue of Acuity ATM Shares and Issue up to 75,000,000 SPP Shortfall Shares
The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, to issue $250,000 in Benmara Consideration Shares pursuant to the acquisition of the Benamara Project from SER announced on 15 December 2020. The consideration for the final stage of the agreement of outright purchase of EL32228 shall comprise a payment of $250,000 in RML shares or cash, at RML’s election. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated using the VWAP over the 5 day period prior to RML’s election to proceed. The Company may elect, at the end of the option period to “walk away” with the vendor retaining an unencumbered 100% interest in EL32228 following the 12 month evaluation of the tenement. This Resolution is proposed in the event that RML elects to retain the Benmara Project, currently undergoing evaluation via exploration drilling, and further elects to fund the final acquisition via issue of Shares.
On 30 April 2021, the Company announced an issue of 22,000,000 Shares to Acuity under an At-the-Market deed under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution is seeking approval for the issue of up to a further 30,000,000 ATM Shares to replace the collateral Shares currently on issue under the ATM with Acuity.
On 15 September 2021, the Company announced that it is undertaking an SPP seeking to raise $1.5 million. In the event that the targeted amount under the SPP is not reached, the Company may seek to place the SPP shortfall, up to 75,000,000 Shares.
On 27 September 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement for the right to acquire Exploration Licences EL31287 and EL32229 (Murphy Project) from Cedar Resources Pty Ltd in the Northern Territory. The consideration payable for the acquisition is 2,469,984 Shares – being the VWAP over the 5 day period prior to RML’s execution of the Murphy Project agreement. The consideration for the final stage of the agreement, being the outright purchase of EL31287 and EL32229 shall comprise a payment of $250,000 in RML shares or cash, at RML’s election. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated using the VWAP over the 5 day period prior to RML’s election to proceed. The Company may elect, at the end of the option period to “walk away” with the vendor retaining an unencumbered 100% interest in EL31287 and EL32229 following the 12 month evaluation of the tenement by September 2022.
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, at RML’s election, required to be issued to SER for the purpose of acquisition of the Benmara Project. Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares required to be issued to Cedar for the purpose of acquisition of the Murphy Project.
If Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to SER to acquire the Benmara Project, issue of Shares to Cedar to acquire the Murphy Project, issue the ATM Shares and issue the SPP Shortfall Shares. In addition, the 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 Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to SER and will be required to acquire the Benmara Project via cash payment, in the event that the Company proceeds with the Benmara Project. Further, the Company will not be able to acquire the Murphy Project via issue of Shares and will be required to settle the acquisition via cash payment. Finally, the issue of ATM Shares and SPP Shortfall Shares will be issued from the Company’s 15% placement capacity, if available.

Resolution 9: Issue of 82,209,111 Options
As noted in the Explanatory Notes for Resolution 4, on 15 September 2021, the Company announced that it received firm commitments to issue 84,418,223 Shares under the Placement and intended to undertake an SPP. The SPP is targeting to raise up to approximately $1,500,000.
Participants in the Placement are entitled to receive, for no additional consideration, one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares received under the Placement, having an exercise price of $0.03 per Share and a 2 year term and the Company also intends to offer participants in the SPP the right subscribe for Options on the same terms.

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.

In addition, the Options 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 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options to the participants in the Placement or the SPP.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the issue of up to 82,209,111 Options.
Resolutions 10 and 11: Issue of 250,000 SPP Options to Melcraig Superannuation Pty Ltd (an entity associated with Director Craig Farrow) and Issue of 375,000 SPP Options to Valas Investments Pty Ltd (an entity associated with Director Andrew Shearer)
Background
As noted in the Explanatory Notes for Resolution 4, on 15 September 2021, the Company announced that it received firm commitments to issue 84,418,223 Shares under the Placement and intended to undertake an SPP. The SPP is targeting to raise up to approximately $1,500,000.
RML Directors Craig Farrow and Andrew Shearer ( SPP Participating Directors ) are intending to participate in the SPP and apply for Options, via their associated Shareholding vehicles, on the same terms as other SPP applicants, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to such issue.
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.
Exception 4 to ASX Listing Rule 10.13 includes an exception whereby the Directors may participate in the SPP for Shares. However, as the SPP includes the ability for all Eligible Shareholder to subscribe for Options, for no additional consideration, that exception does not extend to the proposed issue of Options pursuant to the SPP.
Accordingly, as the SPP Participating Directors are Directors of the Company, Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of a total of 625,000 Options to the SPP Participating Directors 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 Resolutions 10 and 11 are not passed, the Company will be precluded from issuing the Options to the SPP Participating Directors.
15
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 SPP Participating Directors are Directors and are therefore each 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 Resolutions 10 and 11, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the SPP Participating Directors are proposing to participate in the SPP on the same terms as other applicants.
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 A/C>, an entity associated with Mr Craig Farrow, a Director of the Company and, therefore, a person falling within category 10.11.1. of the Listing Rules. |
Valas Investments Pty Ltd A/C>, an entity associated with Mr Andrew Shearer, a Director of the Company and therefore a person falling within category 10.11.1. of the Listing Rules. |
|---|---|---|
| Securities issued | The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Farrow is 250,000 Options. |
The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Shearer is 375,000 Options. |
| Terms | The material terms of the Options are detailed in Appendix 1. 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 Resolutions 10 and 11 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 were and will be issued for no issue price or additional consideration as part of the terms of the capital raising 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 |
As contained in the Share Purchase Plan Offer Booklet dated 17 September 2021 and to be contained in the prospectus to be issued for the Options pursuant to the SPP. |
|
| Purpose | The Options are being offered to participants in the SPP, for no additional consideration, and will be offered to the SPP Participating Directors on the same terms as other applicants in the SPP. |
Board Recommendation
The SPP Participating Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to their respective Resolutions due to their material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 10 and 11 on the basis that they will be issued 625,000 Options in total should Resolutions 10 and 11 be passed.
The SPP Participating Directors do not have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions related to the issue of Options to the other Directors. The Directors (other than the SPP Participating Directors in relation to their own Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 10 and 11.
The Directors make the recommendation above for the following reasons:
-
the issue of Options to the SPP Participating Directors will better align the interests of the SPP Participating Directors with those of Shareholders;
-
the issue of the Options is reasonable and appropriate as the SPP Participating Directors are proposing to participate in the SPP on the same terms as other applicants; and
-
it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed.
16
The Board (apart from the SPP Participating Directors, to the extent that the recommendation applies to their Options, make no recommendation in relation to the Resolution as it relates to themselves) recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolutions 10 and 11.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolutions 10 and 11.
Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15: Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell and to the 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 to their remuneration package. The Participating Directors have been invited by the board of the Company to receive up to 1,250,000 Director Performance Rights if approved by Members at this Meeting. Mr Chessell has further been invited by the board of the Company to receive up to 2,000,000 Executive 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 1,250,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Craig Farrow, Mr Duncan Chessell and Mr Andrew Shearer and (the Participating Directors) (or their nominees) on the terms set out below and a further 2,000,000 Executive Director Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell. 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 and Executive 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 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued under the Company’s PSP.
If Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15 are approved, then the Participating Directors will receive the relevant Performance Rights.
If Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15 are not approved, no 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 12, 13, 14 and 15 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 12, 13, 14 and 15, 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.
17
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 1,250,000 Director Performance Rights to each Participating Director and 2,000,000 Executive Director Performance Rights to Mr Chessell 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 Performance Rights later than 12 months after the Meeting.
In the event that all 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 1,250,000 and a further 2,000,000 Executive Director Performance Rights to Mr Chessell. The Shares to be issued upon vesting of the 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 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 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 Performance Rights vest and become exercisable if the KPI hurdle is satisfied by the Lapsing date.
Where KPI’s are met and Performance Rights are exercised, Shares on the exercise of Performance Rights are expected to be issued progressively over the three year period.
Performance Rights will lapse approximately three years after vesting date if the KPI hurdles are not met.

Should the Participating Director cease to be an officer of the Company, the corresponding unvested Performance Rights will expire within 3 months of their departure.
Participating Director total current remuneration
The Participating Directors are remunerated as listed below.

1 Cash remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2021.
2 Commenced as chairman from 2020 annual general meeting increasing Director’s fee to $60,000 per annum.
The participating Directors have the following relevant interest in Equity Securities of the Company:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Director | Shares | Unlisted options | Listed options | Performance Shares |

If all of the Performance Rights granted to the Participating Directors vest and are exercised, then a total of 5,750,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 532,097,837 to 537,847,837 (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 1.08%.
The market price for Shares during the term of the 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 28 September 2021) 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 and Executive Director Performance Rights, pursuant to Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15 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.
19
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) all the Participating Directors are related parties pursuant to category 10.11.1 of the Listing Rules;
-
(c) the number of Performance Rights to be issued is up to a total of 5,750,000;
-
(d) the issue of the Performance Rights subject of Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15 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;
-
(e) 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
-
(f) 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 12, 13, 14 and 15 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions on the basis that they are to be issued 1,250,000 Director Performance Rights each should Resolutions 13, 14, and 15 be passed and Mr Chessell will be issued a further 2,000,000 Executive Director Performance Rights should Resolution 12 be passed.
With the exception of the Performance Rights to themselves, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 12, 13, 14 and 15. The Directors (other than in respect of Performance Rights that relate to themselves) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12, 13, 14 and 15 for the following reasons:
-
the issue of Performance Rights to the Participating Directors will better align the interests of the Participating Directors with those of Shareholders;
-
the issue of the 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 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 12, 13, 14 and 15.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION
Resolution 16: 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.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
20
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 16 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 16 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
-
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 6 .
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 16.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
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 time and 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).
21
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 a 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. Shares issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity will be for cash consideration only.
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 6 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 6 has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
Variable A being 532,097,837 Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;
-
The issue price set out above is based on a price of 2.8 cents, being approximate the 12 month weighted average price of RML Shares to 28 September 2021.
-
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.
22
-
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 6 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 6 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 2020 AGM on 27 November 2020.

Appendix 3
The ATM provides a mechanism by which the Company may, at any time during the term of the ATM, request that Acuity subscribe for Shares by issuing Acuity an ‘Activation Notice’ and, if in response to that Activation Notice, Acuity issues a Subscription Notice to the Company, Acuity agrees to subscribe for Shares and pay the applicable ‘Issue Price’ to the Company and the Company agrees to issue Shares to Acuity or its nominee.
An Activation Notice issued by the Company must specify various parameters for the proposed issue, including the proposed minimum floor price for the issue, quantum of funds to be raised (which, together, with other Activation Notices issued must not exceed the ATM Facility Limit) and period over which the funds are to be raised.
The material terms of the ATM are as follows:
-
(a) Start Date : 29 April 2021;
-
(b) End Date/ Maturity Date : 31 January 2024;
-
(c) Issue Price :
-
i. 90.00% volume weighted average price of Shares traded by Acuity on ASX or Chi-X during the relevant Activation Period; and
-
ii. the minimum price at which the Company has advised that it will issue Shares to Acuity during the relevant Activation Period.
-
(d) ATM Facility Limit : $3,000,000.
-
(e) Fees : Nil.
-
(f) Collateral Shares : 22,000,000 Shares have been issued to Acuity as security for the Company’s obligations to Acuity under the ATM, including any obligation to issue Shares to Acuity on receipt of a Subscription Notice.
On the Maturity Date or the earlier termination of the ATM then, to the extent that any Collateral Shares have not been set off against the Company’s obligations, the Company may be required to acquire the relevant Collateral Shares from Acuity (for zero cost) or, to the extent they can do so, arrange for the transfer of the Collateral Shares to a third party nominated by the Company.
-
(g) Termination : The Company may terminate the ATM, for convenience, by providing Acuity 5 Business Days’ notice in writing.
-
(h) Warranties and indemnities : Various representations and warranties for an agreement of this sort.
