4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
- 4.1
General
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 in the Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2023 annual general meeting held on 28 November 2023. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2025 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
4.2
Additional information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
Page 10
Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Grant Mooney
5.1
General
Article 7.2(a) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 both provide that a Director (excluding a Managing Director) must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following that Director's appointment or three years, whichever is longer.
Article 7.3 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 7.2(a) is eligible for re-election and that re-election takes effect at the conclusion of the Meeting.
Non-Executive Director Grant Mooney was last elected by Shareholders at the annual general meeting on 24 November 2021. Accordingly, Mr Mooney retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director pursuant to this Resolution 2.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Mooney will be re-elected. If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Mooney will not be re-elected.
5.2
Grant Mooney
Mr Mooney is the principal of Perth-based corporate advisory firm Mooney & Partners, specialising in corporate compliance administration to public companies. Mr Mooney has gained extensive experience in the areas of corporate and project management since commencing Mooney & Partners in 1999. His experience extends to advice on capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. Currently, Mr Mooney serves as a director to several ASX listed companies across a variety of industries, including technology and resources. Mr Mooney is currently a non-executive director of Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (ASX:CCE), Gibb River Diamonds Limited (ASX:GIB), Talga Group Limited (ASX:TLG), Accelerate Resources Limited (ASX:AX8), and CGN Resources Ltd (ASX:CGR), and the non-executive chairman of Aurora Labs Limited (ASX:A3D).
Mr Mooney does not currently hold any other material directorships, other than as disclosed in this Notice.
Mr Mooney is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand.
Mr Mooney has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.
If re-elected, Mr Mooney is considered by the Board (with Mr Mooney abstaining) to be an independent non-executive Director. Mr Mooney is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.
5.3
Board Recommendation
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
Page 11
The Board (other than Mr Mooney who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) supports the election of Mr Mooney, as his skills and significant experience in strategic planning, risk management and business improvement enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role, and will assist the Company in achieving its strategic objectives in the short and medium term.
6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
6.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The 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 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.
6.2
Listing Rule 7.1A

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

-
(E) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and
-

Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity, and ‘Relevant Period’ has the relevant meaning given in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.2, namely, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
-
D = is 10%.
-
E = is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

Page 13

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

-
(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; 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
If this Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:
-
(i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:
-
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The issue price is the current market price $0.0020, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 17 October 2024, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.
-
(b) Variable A comprises of 2,223,835,633 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
-
(c) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(d) No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting. The table 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.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
Page 16
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2023. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.
However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
6.4
Additional information
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore 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).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Share Rights to Directors in lieu of Directors fees
7.1 General
The Company has, subject to Shareholder approval, invited Directors Grant Mooney, Michael Bohm, Scott Cuomo and Jason Pater ( Directors ) to participate in a discretionary salary reduction arrangement in return for rights to acquire Shares ( Share Rights ) to be granted under the Plan ( Salary Reduction ). Under the Salary Reduction, the Directors may elect to accrue up to:
-
(a) 100% of their director fees (excluding superannuation) from 1 January 2024 to 30 November 2024 ( Period One ); and
-
(b) 100% of their director fees (excluding superannuation) from 1 December 2024 to 31 December 2025 ( Period Two ),
(together, the Salary Reduction Period ).
Page 17
At the end of each calendar month during the Salary Reduction Period, the number of Share Rights that the Directors will be entitled to receive for that calendar month will be the lesser of the total amount of the Salary Reduction for that month of the Salary Reduction Period (being from the first calendar day of that month up to and including the last calendar of that month) divided by the greater of:
-
(a) $0.001 ( Floor Price ); and
-
(b) the VWAP of Shares over the days on which Shares are actually traded on ASX starting on the first day of the relevant quarter and ending on the last day of the relevant quarter of the Salary Reduction Period ( Quarterly VWAP ) (i.e. the Quarterly VWAP for the Share Rights to be issued for the first quarter of the year will be based on the trading days on and from 1 January 2024 up to and including 31 March 2024),
( Deemed Issue Price ).
Accordingly, the maximum number of Share Rights that may be issued to the Directors (on a pre consolidation basis) is as follows (based on the Floor Price over a two-year period):
| Director | Salary Reduction (Period One) |
Salary Reduction (Period Two) |
Total Salary Reduction |
Maximum Share Rights1,2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant Mooney | $43,333.33 | $54,166.67 | $97,500 | 77,359,534 |
| Michael Bohm | $39,166.67 | $43,333.33 | $82,500 | 63,115,793 |
| Scott Cuomo | $36,666.67 | $43,333.33 | $80,000 | 62,433,479 |
| Jason Pater | $36,666.67 | $43,333.33 | $80,000 | 62,433,479 |
| Total | $155,833.33 | $184,166.67 | $340,000 | 265,342,286 |
Note :
-
The maximum Share Rights above is on a pre-Consolidation basis and will be adjusted on a 1:40 basis, in the event Shareholder approval is obtained pursuant to Resolution 6.
-
The maximum Share Rights tabled above includes:
-
a. the actual Share Rights proposed to be issued where the Quarterly VWAP is already known for Period One; and
-
b. the maximum Share Rights proposed to be issued calculated using the Floor Price where the Quarterly VWAP is not yet known for part of Period One and all of Period Two.
The actual number of Share Rights to be issued is likely to be a much lesser amount, due to the Quarterly VWAP being based on Share price movements from quarter to quarter and assuming the Share price remains higher than the Floor Price. For example, if the Deemed Issue Price were equal to the Share price on 17 October 2024 ($0.002), the total number of Share Rights the Directors would be entitled to would be:
Page 18
| Director | Total Salary Reduction | **Example Total Share Rights1 ** |
|---|---|---|
| GrantMooney | $97,500 | 46,109,534 |
| Michael Bohm | $82,500 | 38,115,793 |
| Scott Cuomo | $80,000 | 37,433,479 |
| Jason Pater | $80,000 | 37,433,479 |
| **Total ** | $340,000 | 159,092,286 |
Note
-
The Total Share Rights in the table above are calculated using:
-
a. a known Quarterly VWAP (i.e. for that portion of Period One from 1 January 2024 to 30 September 2024); and
-
b. a Deemed Issue Price of $0.002 for the remaining Share Rights in Period One and Period Two.
In return for their agreement to reduce the amount of their salary paid by way of cash, the Company has agreed to grant each of the Directors (or their respective nominees) Share Rights under the Plan (refer to Schedule 3 for a summary of the terms of the Plan). Each Share Right will entitle the holder to acquire one Share in the Company. The Share Rights immediately vest on the grant date and expire on 30 November 2029. Refer to Schedule 2 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the Share Rights.
The rationale for inviting the Directors to participate in a discretionary salary reduction in return for Share Rights is to preserve cash within the Company, strengthen the Company's balance sheet, align Directors' remuneration with the Company's and Shareholders' objectives, and to provide Directors with an incentive to enhance Shareholder value. It is noted that no director has received payment of any directors fees since October 2023 when the Board of Directors voluntarily elected to forgo directors fees from 1 November 2023 to 31 December 2023 and then subsequently agreed to defer any receipt of directors fees until such time as shareholders agreed to an equity based form of remuneration as per resolutions 4(a) to 4(d) or until such time as the Board considered the Company has sufficient cash reserves to continue payment of directors fees.
Resolution 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 to issue up to a maximum of 265,342,286 Share Rights under the Plan to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) in lieu of the cash payment of a portion of their Director fees.
7.2 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme, unless Shareholder approval is provided:
-
(a) a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
-
(b) an associate of a director the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3).
Page 19
The proposed issue of Share Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Director elects for the Share Rights to be issued to his nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14. As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Share Rights to the Directors will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Share Rights to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee/s).
If Resolution 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of those Share Rights to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee/s) and the Company will proceed with the cash payment equal to the Salary Reduction.
7.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Share Rights:
-
(a) The Share Rights will be issued under the Plan to the Directors (and/or their respective nominees).
-
(b) The Directors will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company. In the event the Share Rights are issued to a nominee of the Directors, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) Based on the Floor Price and the Quarterly VWAP (where known for Period One), a maximum of 265,342,286 Share Rights will be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee/s) in the proportions set out in Section 7.1 above.
-
(d) The current total notional annual remuneration package each of the Directors as at the date of this Notice is set out below. It is noted that no director has received payment of any directors fees since October 2023:
| Director | Salary and fees (inclusive of superannuation) |
|---|---|
| Grant Mooney | $55,750 |
| Michael Bohm | $44,600 |
| Scott Cuomo | $44,600 |
| Jason Pater1 | $40,000 |
Note: Mr Jason Pater is a resident of the United States and therefore receives a Directors Fee only.
-
(e) The Company has not issued Equity Securities under the Plan to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s).
-
(f) The Share Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
-
(g) The rationale for the proposed issue of the Share Rights is set out in Section 7.1 above.
Page 20
-
(h) The total value attributed to the Share Rights is $340,000, being the total Salary Reduction as set out at Section 7.1.
-
(i) The Share Rights are intended to be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee/s) in respect of:
-
(i) Period 1 within one month of receiving approval pursuant to this Resolution; and
-
(ii) Period 2 within one month of the end of each quarter,
and in any event not later than three years after the Meeting.
-
(j) The Share Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of the Directors’ remuneration packages.
-
(k) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is provided in Schedule 3.
-
(l) No loan will be provided to the Directors in relation to the issue of the Share Rights.
-
(m) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(n) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
7.4
Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting, and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolutions 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Share Rights to the Directors to Shareholders to resolve upon.
7.5 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 section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(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
Page 21
of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Share Rights to the Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Share Rights because the Share Rights are considered by the Board to be reasonable remuneration and therefore fall within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.
7.6 Additional information
Resolution 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4(a) – (d) (inclusive) due to their personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.
8. Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares
8.1 General
On 22 December 2023, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement of 164,428,571 Shares at an issue price of $0.0035 each ( Placement Shares ) to raise A$575,000 (before costs) ( Placement ).
On 27 December 2023, the Company issued the Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
8.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period.
The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has 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 that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
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 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 Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 22
To this end, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the prior issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time of the agreement to issue the Placement Shares.
8.3
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, 164,428,571 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 5 is not passed, 164,428,571 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 164,428,571 Shares for the 12 month period following the issue of those Shares.
8.4 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 Placement Shares:
- (a) The Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors.
No lead manager was appointed to manage the Placement. The participants in the Placement were existing contacts of the Company and were identified by the Company after it sought expressions of interest from non-related parties to participate in the Placement.
In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that Southern Cross Capital Pty Ltd, a substantial holder, was issued 71,428,571 Placement Shares, which comprises more than 1% of the Company’s then issued capital.
Other than as set out above, none of the other recipients of the Placement Shares were related parties of the Company or a Material Investor.
-
(b) A total of 164,428,571 Shares were issued within the Company's 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
-
(c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Placement Shares were issued on 27 December 2023.
-
(e) The Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.0035 each.
-
(f) The proceeds of the Placement were used to fund ongoing operations at the Kingman Project as well for working capital.
-
(g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the issue of the Placement Shares.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Page 23
8.5 Additional information
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
9. Resolution 6 – Consolidation of Capital
9.1
General
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of its issued capital on the basis that:
-
(a) every forty (40) Shares be consolidated into one (1) Share;
-
(b) every forty (40) Options be consolidated into one (1) Option; and
-
(c) every forty (40) Convertible Notes be consolidated into (1) Convertible Note,
( Consolidation ).
The Board considers that the Consolidation may have the following potential advantages:
-
(a) increased liquidity of the Company’s Shares as the bid ask spread is expected to be more attractive or market standard;
-
(b) increased appeal to a wider range of investors, particularly to global and offshore institutional investors; and
-
(c) may reduce:
-
(i) volatility of the Share price;
-
(ii) fluctuations in the Company's market capitalisation; and
-
(iii) the percentage transaction cost for trading in each board lot of Shares.
9.2 Section 254H of the Corporations Act
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its Shares into a larger or smaller number.
Listing Rule 7.20 provides that where an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell Equity Security holders:
-
(a) the effect of the proposal on the number of Securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the Securities;
-
(b) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
-
(c) the proposed treatment of any Convertible Securities on issue. Listing Rule 7.21 provides that a listed entity which has Convertible Securities (except options) on issue may only reorganise its capital if, in respect of the Convertible Securities, the number of its Convertible Securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganised so that the holder of the Convertible Securities will not receive a benefit that shareholders do not receive.
Page 24
Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Consolidation and the number of Securities on issue is anticipated to be adjusted as follows, based on the Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice (in each case, subject to rounding up):
| **Security1 ** | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 2,223,835,633 | 55,595,908 |
| Options | 254,200,028 | 6,354,999 |
| ConvertibleNotes | 500,000 | 12,500 |
| Salary Rights2 | 265,342,286 | 6,633,558 |
Notes:
-
At the date of dispatch of this Notice, the Company had 15,000,000 Performance Rights on issue, however, these will lapse prior to the Meeting and have not been included in the table above.
-
The Company is seeking approval for the issue of Share Rights to Grant Mooney, Michael Bohm, Scott Cuomo and Jason Pater (refer to Resolutions 4(a) – 4(d) (inclusive)). If Resolutions 4(a) – 4(d) (inclusive) and Resolution 6 are approved by Shareholders, then the Share Rights will be issued on a post-consolidated basis as tabled above.
The effective date of the Consolidation is 2 December 2024. The Consolidation timetable is set out in Section 9.6(d) below.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Consolidation.
9.3
Fractional entitlements
Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Securities which can be evenly divided by forty (40). Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.
9.4
Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company accepts no responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
9.5
Holding Statements
From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a postConsolidation basis. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
Page 25
9.6 Effect on capital structure
The approximate effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s current capital structure is set out in the tables below. All numbers are subject to rounding.
- (a) Shares

| Shares Rights | 265,342,286 | 6,633,558 |
Note: If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Share Rights pursuant to Resolutions 4(a) – 4(d) (inclusive), then the Share Rights will not form part of the Company’s capital structure.
9.7 Consolidation timetable
If Resolution is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following timetable.
| Event | Date |

Schedule 3 Material Terms of the Plan
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out below
-
(a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:
-
(i) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;
-
(ii) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;
-
(iii) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (i) or (ii) apply;
-
(iv) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or
-
(v) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (i) to (iv) (inclusive).
-
(b) ( Maximum allocation ): The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:
-
(i) the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph (m) below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus
-
(ii) the total number of Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period,
would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders. The issue of Securities with Shareholder approval will not count towards the ASX Limit.
-
(c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to
Page 33
Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
(d) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
-
(e) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.
-
(f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
(g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
(h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
-
(i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those
Page 34
Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
(j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
(k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
Page 35
- (o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
(p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
(q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- (r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
