Further, in accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast on these Resolutions (and will be taken not to have been cast if cast contrary to this restriction) by a member of the Key Management Personnel, and any Closely Related Party of such a member, acting as proxy if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on these Resolutions. However, the member of the Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party of such a member may vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on these Resolutions or by a person who is the Chair of the Meeting at which these Resolutions are voted on and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even if these Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a Key Management Personnel.

Further, in accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast on these Resolutions (and will be taken not to have been cast if cast contrary to this restriction) by Mr Craig Farrow, Mr Duncan Chessell and Mr Andrew Shearer (in respect of Resolutions 8 and 9, respectively) and any associates of Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer (in respect of Resolutions 8 and 9, respectively).

Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 8 and 9

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 8 and 9 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 8 and 9 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 8 and 9 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 8 and 9 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 8 and 9 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.

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 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.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Resolution 1: Ratification of 66,071,443 Placement Shares issued on 26 February 2021

On 19 February 2021, the Company announced an issue of 66,071,443 Shares under a Share Placement in conjunction with an issue of 50,000,000 Placement Facility Shares as approved at the Company's 2020 annual general meeting to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to raise $3,250,000 (before costs) (Placement).

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.

The relevant Shares issued to participants in the Placement 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% Additional 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 by Resolution 1. 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 Resolution 1 is passed, the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement 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 Resolution 1 is 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:

Party Sophisticated, professional and institutional investors who were identified and sourced by FreshEquities. None of the parties for whom ratification is sought pursuant to this Resolution arerelated parties of the Company.
Securities issued 66,071,443 Shares were issued - 33,500,000 Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1Aand 32,571,443 Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Shares are fully paidordinary shares.
Date of issue 26 February 2021
Consideration $1,850,000 at a price of $0.028 (2.80 cents) per Share.
Terms Shares rank equally with all other Shares on issue.
Purpose The purpose of the issue was to apply raised funds to test high priority drill targets at the Sunriseand East Pogo prospects on the 64North Project, for geophysics and drill testing the Company'sNorthern Territory Wollogorang and Benmara Projects and for working capital purposes.

Board Recommendation: The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolutions 2 and 3: Ratification of 2,500,000 Benmara Consideration Shares issued on 23 December 2020 and 15,000,000 64North Consideration Shares issued on 25 February 2021

On 15 December 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement for the right to acquire Exploration Licence EL32228 (Benmara Project) from SER in the Northern Territory. The consideration payable for the acquisition amounted to $100,000 in Shares totalling 2,500,000 Shares paid on 23 December 2020.

On 9 February 2021, the Company announced that it had executed a revision to the 64North Project earn-in agreement with Millrock. A change fee negotiated as part of the revised terms resulted in the issue of 15,000,000 64North Consideration Shares amounting to $420,000 paid on 25 February 2021.

As outlined in relation to Resolution 1, 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.

The relevant Shares issued to SER and Millrock (and its nominee), 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.

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 these issues at this Meeting by Resolutions 2 and 3. 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 each issue.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the relevant issues 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 2 and 3 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.

Resolution 4: Issue of 58,035,713 Placement Options

On 19 February 2021, the Company announced a share placement to raise $3.25 million as described above in the explanation to Resolutions 1 and 2 and the issue of attaching unquoted options on a 1 for 2 basis (Placement).

The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, to issue 58,035,713 unquoted options with an exercise price $0.042 (4.2 cents) and expiry of 12 months from date of issue (Placement Options).

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.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Options to applicants in the Company's recent capital raising activities. In addition, the Placement 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 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Options.

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

  • (b) 58,035,713 Placement Options on the terms summarised in Appendix 1;
  • (c) there will be no funds raised upon the issue of Placement Options, as the Placement Options are free attaching to Placement Shares and Placement Facility Shares issued;
  • (d) the Placement Options were issued as part of the Placement as part of the terms agreed with those participants in order to ensure the successful outcome of the Placement; and
  • (e) the allotment is expected to be within 5 business days of the Meeting, and in any event, within three (3) months of the date of the Meeting.

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 58,035,713 Placement Options pursuant to Resolution 4.

Resolutions 5, 6 and 7: Issue of Director Placement Shares and Placement Options

Background

On 19 February 2021, the Company announced a Share Placement to raise $3.25 million as detailed in Resolution 1. Included in this amount was a commitment by directors to participate in the capital raise on the same terms as all other investors, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to such issue (Director Placement Shares).

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.

Accordingly, as Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer are Directors of the Company, Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of a total of 2,035,713 Director Placement Shares and 1,017,856 Placement Options to Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer (or their nominees) on the terms set out below and as detailed in the table below.

Director Director Placement Shares Placement Options
Craig Farrow 1,500,000 750,000
Duncan Chessell 178,571 89,285
Andrew Shearer 357,142 178,571
Total 2,035,713 1,017,856

If approval of the issue of the Director Placement Shares is given under Listing Rule 10.13, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Director Placement 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 5, 6 and 7 are not passed, the Company will be precluded from issuing the Director Placement Shares to Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer.

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, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer are Directors so are related parties 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 Director Placement Shares, pursuant to Resolutions 5, 6 and 7, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer are proposing to participate in the Placement on the same terms as other applicants.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements

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 The Director Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued to Mr Farrow, Mr Chesselland Mr Shearer (or their nominees), a Director of the Company and a person falling withincategory 10.11.1.

The maximum number of Placement Options to be issued to Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and MrShearer is 1,017,856 Placement Options.
Date of issue The Director Placement Shares and Placement Options are proposed to be issued within 5 days ofthe Meeting but will, in any event, not be issued later than 1 month after the Meeting.
Consideration The Director Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.028 (2.8 cents) per Share, being thesame price as all other participants in the Placement, raising approximately $57,000 for theCompany.
The Placement Options will be issued as free attaching on a 1 for 2 basis.
Terms The Director Placement Shares will rank equally with all other Shares on issue from their date ofissue.
Terms of the Placement Options are detailed in Appendix 1.
Purpose The purpose of the issue of Director Placement Shares is to apply raised funds to test high prioritydrill targets at the Sunrise and East Pogo prospects on the 64North Project, for geophysics anddrill testing the Company's Northern Territory Wollogorang and Benmara Projects and for workingcapital purposes. The issue of Director Placement Shares to Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and MrShearer (or their nominees) will also further align the interests of Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and MrShearer with those of other Shareholders.
Material terms ofagreement The Director Placement Shares will not be issued under an agreement.

Board Recommendation

Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5, 6 and 7 respectively due to their material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that they are to be issued 2,035,713 Director Placement Shares and 1,017,856 Placement Options should Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 be passed.

With the exception of each Director as it relates to their own Resolution, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of the issue of Shares to other Directors. The Directors (other than the Resolution that relates to their own interest) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7.

The Directors make the recommendation above for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Director Placement Shares and Placement Options to Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer will better align the interests of Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer with those of Shareholders;
  • the issue of the Director Placement Shares and Placement Options is reasonable and appropriate as Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer is proposing to participate in the Company's capital raising activity on the same terms as other applicants; and
  • it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to RML or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Placement Shares and Placement Options on the terms proposed.

The Board (apart from Mr Farrow, Mr Chessell and Mr Shearer, who makes no recommendation in relation to their own Resolution) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7.

Resolutions 8 and 9: Change to terms of exiting Director Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell and issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell

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. For the purpose of remunerating Mr Chessell based on his 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 his remuneration package. Mr Chessell has been invited by the board of the Company to receive up to 800,000 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, Mr Chessell is a related party of the Company due to his position as a Director and is therefore a person falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11.

As Mr Chessell is a Director of the Company, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of a total of 800,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Chessell (or his nominee) on the terms set out below. If approval of the issue of the Director 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 Mr Chessell 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 Resolution 9 is passed, then Mr Chessell will receive 800,000 Director Performance Rights.

If Resolutions 9 is not passed, Mr Chessell will not be issued with Director Performance Rights 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 8 and 9 also seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of the Company providing these Termination Benefits to Mr Chessell 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 Mr Chessell ceases to be engaged by the Company.

Other than as expressly set out in Resolutions 8 and 9, Mr Chessell will not 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 Mr Chessell holds at the time that this discretion is exercised.

Issue of Director Performance Rights

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company intends to issue 800,000 Director Performance Rights to Mr Duncan Chessell within 5 business days of the Meeting. The Director 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 1 month after the Meeting.

In the event that all Director Performance Rights vest upon satisfaction of the KPIs (at the Board's discretion), the maximum number of Shares that would be issued to Mr Chessell is 800,000. The Shares to be issued 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.

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

Amendment to terms of Director Performance Rights

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company intends to amend the terms associated with 4,000,000 Existing 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 has already issued the Performance Rights and will not issue and further Performance Rights after the Meeting.

In the event that all Performance Rights vest upon satisfaction of the performance KPIs (summarised below), the maximum number of Shares that would be issued to Mr Chessell is 4,000,000. The Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Existing 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.

The Company advises that there are no loans provided to Mr Chessell in relation to the former issue of Performance Rights. Further key terms of the PSP are included in Appendix 2.

As the proposed change in Director Performance Rights will increase the period in which the Performance Rights can be exercised, this is contrary to Listing Rule 6.23.3. RML will seek a waiver from compliance with Listing Rule 6.23.3 following lodgement of the Notice. In the event that the waiver is not granted by ASX prior to the Meeting, Resolution 8 will be withdrawn.

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

Director Performance Rights proposed to be issued following the Meeting

The Director Performance Rights vest and become exercisable if KPI hurdles are satisfied by 31 December 2021 and are at the discretion of the Board. In addition to the Director Performance Rights, the Board has determined that it may agree to a discretionary cash component for performance to 31 December 2021 up to $25,000.

Where KPIs 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 KPIs relate to Mr Chessell's and the Company's performance during the 12 month period ending on to 31 December 2021. Director Performance Rights will lapse by 31 March 2020 if the KPI hurdle is not met and will be exercisable until 31 December 2024 if the rights vest.

Existing Performance Rights proposed to be amended following the Meeting

Shareholders approved the issue of 4,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Chessell at the Company's 2019 annual general meeting. Shareholders are requested to approve a change to the terms of Existing Performance Rights. No new Performance Rights are proposed to be issued.

The proposed changes to Existing Performance Rights are summarised below:

Key term 2019 AGM approval 2021 Meeting approval
Number of rights to Mr Chessell 4,000,000 4,000,000 (no new rights are proposed
to be issued)
Total number of Performance Rights 4,000,000 4,000,000
impacted
Performance measurement period 26 November 2019 to 31 December 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2024
2023
Performance hurdle Gold based KPIs Diversified metals KPIs as listed below
Lapsing date1 31 December 2026 31 December 2027

1 Director Performance Rights will expire within 3 months of Mr Chessell ceasing to hold office with the Company if earlier than lapsing date. The Board will have 3 months from the end of the KPI measurement period to determine whether the rights have vested based on a KPI. Subject to receipt of ASX waiver from compliance with Listing Rule 6.23.3.

Where KPIs 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.

Should Mr Chessell cease to be an officer of the Company, unvested Performance Rights will expire within 3 months of his departure.

The revised KPIs in relation to Existing Director Performance Rights, being the subject of Resolution 8 are listed below:

1. Resource KPI 1 – 2,000,000 Existing Performance Rights

The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the announcement by 31 December 2022 of at least 150,000 ounces of Au or Au Equivalent or 28,000 tonnes of contained Cu or Cu Equivalent or 5,000 tonnes of contained Co or Co Equivalent or other metal of equal value to 150,000 ounces of Au, in a JORC Mineral Resource (in the Inferred category or better) from all of the Company's current or future mineral leases. The vesting of this KPI must be determined by the Board by 31 March 2023 and, if vested, the Performance Rights will expire on 31 December 2025.

2. Resource KPI 1 – 2,000,000 Existing Performance Rights

The vesting of Director Performance Rights under this KPI is tied to the announcement by 31 December 2024 of at least 250,000 ounces of Au or Au Equivalent or 48,000 tonnes of contained Cu or Cu Equivalent or 8,500 tonnes of contained Co or Co Equivalent; or other metal of equal value to 250,000 ounces of Au, in a JORC Mineral Resource (in the Inferred category or better) from all of the Company's current or future mineral leases. The vesting of this KPI must be determined by the Board by 31 March 2025 and, if vested, the Performance Rights will expire on 31 December 2027.

Total current remuneration

Mr Chessell's remuneration is $225,000 per annum with payments of $172,662 for the 2019/20 financial year following announcement of the Managing Director Remuneration package on 17 October 2019 as effective from 14 October 2019. Additionally, the Board may determine an additional discretionary cash bonus for the 2021 calendar year of up to $25,000.

Mr Chessell has the following relevant interest in Equity Securities of the Company (not including the proposed issue of Securities subject to Shareholder approval at this Meeting):

Shares 1,356,434
Unquoted options 697,500
Performance Shares 2,458,125
Performance Rights 4,500,000

If all of the Director Performance Rights granted to Mr Chessell vest and are exercised, then a total of 800,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 423,643,901 to 424,443,901 (assuming that no other options or rights are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 0.2%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Performance Rights will affect the value of the perceived benefit given to Mr Chessell. 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 11 March 2021) are:

Price Date
Highest $0.155 20 April 2020
Lowest $0.022 4 March 2021 and 5 March2021
Last $0.024 11 March 2021

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 Chessell is a Director so is a related party 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 Resolution 9 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 a nominee of Mr Chessell;
  • (b) the number of Performance Rights to be issued is up to a total of 800,000;
  • (c) the issue of the Performance Rights subject of Resolution 9 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 Mr Chessell 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

Mr Chessell declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis he is to be issued 800,000 Director Performance Rights should Resolution 9 be passed.

With the exception of the Performance Rights to himself, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9. The Directors (other than Mr Chessell in respect of Resolution 9) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9 for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Chessell will better align the interests of Mr Chessell 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 Mr Chessell 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 skills and experience Mr Chessell brings 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 8 and 9.
