Pursuant to the terms of the RiverFort Loan, the Company issued the Drawdown Fee Options to RiverFort on 22 October 2024 using the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2024.
The issue of the Drawdown Fee Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Drawdown Fee Options.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Page 11
If Resolution 1 is passed, 5,000,000 Drawdown Fee Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, 5,000,000 Drawdown Fee Options will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 5,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Drawdown Fee Options.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the Drawdown Fee Options were agreed to be issued.
3.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Drawdown Fee Options:
-
(a) 5,000,000 Options were issued on 22 October 2024.
-
(b) The Drawdown Fee Options were issued to RiverFort, who is not a Material Investor of the Company.
-
(c) The Drawdown Fee Options comprise 5,000,000 unlisted Options each exercisable at $0.0225 and expiring on 22 October 2027. Shares issued on exercise of the Drawdown Fee Options are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue. Full terms and conditions of the Drawdown Fee Options are set out in Schedule 2.
-
(d) The Drawdown Fee Options were issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the RiverFort Loan as fees for RiverFort providing the initial drawdown of $500,000. Accordingly, no funds were raised from the issue of the Drawdown Fee Options. If any Drawdown Fee Options are exercised, RiverFort must pay the Company the exercise price of $0.0225 per Option exercised (i.e. $112,500 if all Options are exercised), which funds are currently intended to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
-
(e) A summary of the key terms of the RiverFort Loan is set out in Section 3.1 above.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is included in the Notice.
3.4
Additional information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary Resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Shares to RiverFort
4.1 General
As outlined in Section 3.1, the Company entered into the RiverFort Loan with RiverFort on 22 October 2024.
Page 12
On 14 March 2025 the Company announced it had extended the Maturity Date of the Funding Agreement with RiverFort to 21 June 2025. Under the terms of the extension, a fixed extension fee of 10% was settled at the Company’s election in Shares on 25 March 2025, via the issue of 13,057,930 Shares ( Extension Fee Shares ) at a deemed price of $0.004212 each to RiverFort, using the Company‘s existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The deemed price of $0.004212 was calculated using the average VWAP for the period 6 March to 12 March 2025 pursuant to the Deed of Amendment and Restatement executed with RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd and RMI Finland Oy on 13 March 2025 ( Deed of Amendment ).
The key terms of the Deed of Amendment are as follows:
-
(a) the Maturity Date is extended to 21 June 2025 (the “ Extended Maturity Date ”) from 21 February 2025 (the “ Initial Term Extension ”).
-
(b) the Outstanding Balance will accrue a fixed extension fee of 10% in consideration of the Initial Term Extension (the “ Extension Fee ”). The Extension Fee will be settled either in cash or Shares upon the election of the Company, such irrevocable election will be confirmed in writing by the Company to RiverFort within 5 (five) Trading Days of the date of the Deed of Amendment. The settlement of the Extension Fee will either be:
-
i) In Shares calculated at the lower of (i) the average of the 5 daily VWAPs prior to the date of the Deed of Amendment and (ii) the average of the 5 daily VWAPs prior to the date of the written notification pursuant to Clause 2.1(b). Such Shares will be delivered into the designated account of RiverFort within 3 (three) Trading Days of the written notification; or
-
ii) In cash in cleared funds in the designated account of RiverFort within 1 (one) Trading Day of the written notification.
-
(c) The Outstanding Balance will accrue interest per the rate prescribed by the definition of Interest for the period between the original Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date.
-
(d) The Extension Options will not be due to be granted until the Extended Maturity Date having passed and the Agreement will be amended accordingly.
The outstanding balance of the RiverFort Loan will accrue interest per the rates prescribed in the Funding Agreement. Refer to Section 3.1 above for further details on the RiverFort Loan terms.
- 4.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is in Section 3.2 above.
The issue of the Extension Fee Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Extension Fee Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Page 13
If Resolution 2 is passed, 13,057,930 Extension Fee Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, 13,057,930 Extension Fee Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 13,057,930 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Extension Fee Shares.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the Extension Fee Shares were agreed to be issued.
4.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Extension Fee Shares:
-
(a) 13,057,930 Extension Fee Shares were issued on 25 March 2025.
-
(b) The Extension Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
-
(c) The Extension Fee Shares were issued to RiverFort who is not a Material Investor of the Company.
-
(d) The Extension Fee Shares were issued at a deemed price of $0.004212 each.

-
(f) The key terms of the RiverFort Loan are set out in Section 3.1 above.

(g) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 2 is included in the Notice.
4.4

Resolution 2 is an ordinary Resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5. Resolution 3 and 4 - Ratification of issue of Placement Shares

- (a) The initial tranche comprised the issue of 69,047,619 Shares to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Unrelated Placement Participants ) on 28 May 2025,
Page 14
with:
-
(i) 53,603,765 Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 3; and
-
(ii) 15,443,854 Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 4,
for a total of 69,047,619 Shares; and
- (b) The second tranche will comprise, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolution 5 and 6, the issue of an aggregate of 26,190,476 Shares to Directors, Mr Asimwe Kabunga and Mr Trevor Matthews.
5.2
Use of funds
Proceeds from the Placement are to be used towards:
-
Copper-gold exploration including soil and auger sample analysis and RAB drilling programme in Tanzania,
-
Follow up exploration activities in Tanzania,
-
Assessment of near-term mining and processing opportunities,
-
Debt repayment, and

5.3 General
Resolution 3 and 4 seek Shareholder ratification for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 69,047,619 Placement Shares on 28 May 2025 at an issue price of $0.021 per Share to the Unrelated Placement Participants (before costs).
Of these 69,047,619 Placement Shares, 53,603,765 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 3) and 15,443,854 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 4).
5.4
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A is in Section 3.2 above.
This issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s
Page 15
combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the Shares were agreed to be issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants.

5.6 Additional Information

6. Resolution 5 and 6 – Approval to issue Related Party Placement Shares
6.1 General
The Company has received commitments from related parties (being two of its Directors) to, subject to Shareholder being obtained, participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants, as follows:
| Related Party | Amount committed to the 2025 Placement ($) |
Related Party Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Asimwe Kabunga | $500,000 | 23,809,524 |
| Trevor Matthews | $50,000 | 2,380,952 |
| Total | $550,000 | 26,190,476 |
Resolution 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.
6.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Messrs Kabunga and Matthews are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board (with Messrs Kabunga and Matthews abstaining in respect of the Share issues to themselves) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Page 17
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Related Party Placement Shares will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5 and 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Related Party Placement Shares.
If Resolution 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares and will not receive the additional funds that would have been received from the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to Messrs Kabunga and Matthews (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 6.1.
-
(b) Messrs Kabunga and Matthews fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 as a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company. In the event the Related Party Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of Messrs Kabunga and Matthews, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of:
-
(i) 23,809,524 Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Kabunga (or his nominee); and
-
(ii) 2,380,952 Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Matthews (or his nominee).
-
(d) The Related Party Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(e) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting.
-

-
(g) The purpose of the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is to allow Mr Kabunga and Mr Matthews to participate in the Placement.
-
(h) The proceeds from the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Placement Shares, as set out in Section 5.2 above.
-
(i) The proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Kabunga or Mr Matthews in their capacity as Directors.
-
(j) Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Memorandum, there are no other material
Page 18
terms to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares.
-
(k) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued pursuant to a short form subscription letter pursuant to which the relevant Director agreed to be issued the Related Party Placement Shares on the terms set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.
-
(l) Voting exclusion statements for Resolutions 5 and 6 are included in the Notice.
6.4
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company (as Messrs Kabunga and Matthews are Directors).
The Board (with Messrs Kabunga and Matthews abstaining in respect of the Share issues to themselves) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares because the Related Party Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms within the exception provided in section 210 of the Corporations Act.
6.5
Additional information
Resolution 5 and 6 are not inter-conditional.
The Board (other than Mr Kabunga in relation to Resolution 5 and Mr Matthews in relation to Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 and 6.
Mr Kabunga makes no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 because he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
Mr Matthews makes no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 because he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
7. Resolutions 7 to 9 – Approval to issue Shares in lieu of Director fees
7.1
General
Current Directors Trevor Matthews and Noel O’Brien are, and former Director David Round was, entitled to receive cash remuneration for their role as Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Page 19
In the case of David Round, he was entitled to remuneration for his role as Non-Executive Director until his retirement on 8 April 2025.
Each of Messrs Matthews, O’Brien ( Relevant Directors ) and former Director David Round have agreed, and the Board (with Messrs Matthews and O’Brien abstaining in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8, respectively) has determined, to issue Shares in the Company ( Remuneration Shares ) to each of the Relevant Directors and David Round on the terms and conditions set out below in lieu of the cash remuneration otherwise payable to the Relevant Directors for the period 1 May 2024 to 30 June 2025, and David Round for the period 1 May 2024 to 8 April 2025 . The Remuneration Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.021 per Remuneration Share, being the issue price of the Placement Shares.
Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Remuneration Shares as follows:
| Resolution | Director | Directors’ fees ($) | Remuneration Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Trevor Matthews | 56,000.00 | 2,666,667 |
| 8 | Noel O’Brien | 48,000.00 | 2,285,714 |
| 9 | DavidRound | 37,066.67 | 1,765,079 |
7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
As set out in Section 6.4, 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 to sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act. A related party for the purposes of the Corporations Act includes a director of a public company and an individual that was a director of a public company at any time within the previous 6 months. Messrs Matthews and O’Brien are related parties of the Company as they are directors of the Company. Mr Round is also a related party of the Company because he has been a director of the Company within the last 6 months.
The Board (with Messrs Matthews and O’Brien abstaining in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8, respectively) considers that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.
Under section 211(1) of the Corporations Act, Shareholder approval is not required to be obtained for the giving of a financial benefit if the benefit is remuneration given to a related party of the company as an officer or employee of the company, and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the company and the related party (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
As mentioned above, the Remuneration Shares are being issued to the Relevant Directors in lieu of the cash remuneration payable in respect of them performing their roles and responsibilities as Non-Executive Directors for the period 1 May 2024 to 30 June 2025. Accordingly, the Board (with Messrs Matthews and O’Brien abstaining in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8, respectively) considers that Shareholder approval is not required under section 208 of the Corporations Act in connection with the proposed issue of the Remuneration Shares because the exception in section 211(1) applies.
Page 20
7.3 Listing Rule 10.11 approval
As set out above, Listing Rule 10.11.1 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to a related party (among others) unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Remuneration Shares to the Relevant Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 because the relevant person is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director, or having been a Director within the past 6 months, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 7 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Messrs Matthews, O’Brien and Round (and/or their respective nominees) under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 10.11.
If the relevant Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Remuneration Shares to the Relevant Directors (and/or their nominee) and, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), the issue will not use the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If the relevant Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Remuneration Shares and will be required to consider alternative arrangements to remunerate the Relevant Directors, including to remunerate the Relevant Director through the payment of cash consideration.
7.4

(c) A maximum of:
-
(i) 2,666,667 Remuneration Shares will be issued to Mr Matthews (or his nominee) – Resolution 7;

-
(i) The Remuneration Shares will be issued to the Relevant Directors pursuant to a short form subscription letter agreement pursuant to which the Relevant Director agrees to subscribe for the Remuneration Shares in consideration for the outstanding cash remuneration.
-
(j) Voting exclusion statements for Resolutions 7 to 9 are included in the Notice.
-
7.5
Directors’ recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Matthews in relation to Resolution 7 and Mr O’Brien in relation to Resolution 8) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 to 9.
Mr Matthews makes no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 because he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
Mr O’Brien makes no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 because he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
8. Resolution 10 – Change of Company name
- 8.1
Background
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name. Resolution 10 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to “Resource Mining International Ltd”. The Board proposes this change of name on the basis it believes the proposed name more accurately reflects the global spread of the operations of the Company.
Page 22
The Company is currently in the process of exploring for gold in Tanzania and potentially Saudi Arabia, and critical minerals, namely Copper and Nickel in Tanzania and Lithium in Finland. On this basis, the Board believes the name Resource Mining International Limited better represents our future plans as we position our Company to create wealth from mineral commodities using innovative technical, marketing and financial skills.
8.2 Additional information
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC and, if Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration. ASX has confirmed that the Company’s ASX ticker code “RMI” will remain the same despite the change in name.
Shareholder approval is also being sought in accordance with section 136(2) of the Corporations Act to replace all existing references in the Company’s constitution from “Resource Mining Corporation Limited” to “Resource Mining International Ltd”.
8.3 Directors’ recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
