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
Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4: 1) Ratification of the issue of 25,000,000 Project Acquisition Shares; 2) 2,909,091 Broker Shares and 2,909,091 Broker Options; 3) 2,500,000 Investor Relations 1 Shares; and 4) 22,727,273 Investor Relations 2 Shares.
-
On 10 March 2025, the Company announced that it had acquired a gold-antimony Project comprising:
-
Drake East Antimony-Gold Project comprising one granted Exploration Licence EL9730 in NSW;
-
Spur South Gold-Copper Project comprising two ELAs, ELA6784 and ELA6785 in NSW; and
-
Neardie Antimony Project comprising one Exploration Permit Minerals (EPM) application EPM29111 in QLD.
The Company agreed to the payment of $70,000 and the issue of 25,000,000 Project Acquisition Shares to acquire the Project.
As part of the fees associated with the Project, the Company agreed to issue Oakley Capital Partners Pty Limited (Oakley) (or their nominee/s) 2,909,091 Broker Shares and 2,909,091 Broker Options.
The Company has also agreed to issue a total of 25,227,273 investor relations Shares for services related to investor relations services as further detailed below.
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.
The issue of the Shares and Options noted above 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 Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum threshold set by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 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 thus the Company is seeking ratification of the issue of Project Acquisition Shares the subject of Resolution 1, Broker Shares and Broker Options the subject of Resolution 1, Investor Relations 1 Shares the subject of Resolution 3 and Investor Relations 2 Shares the subject of Resolution 4. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares and Options did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the date of issue.
If Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are passed, the Project Acquisition Shares, Broker Shares and Broker Options, Investor Relations 1 Shares and Investor Relations 2 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% 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 Resolutions 1, 2, 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% 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.
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:

STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
