This Explanatory Statement is prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders to be held at 11.00am on 25 August 2020 (WST) at Level 2, 1 Walker Avenue, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005 ( Meeting ).

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide all information known to the Company that Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the Resolutions in this Notice of Meeting.
2. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholders should read the Notice of Meeting, including the Explanatory Statement, carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.
2.1 Eligibility to Vote
The Directors have determined that, pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), for the purposes of voting at the Meeting, Shareholders are those persons who are the registered holders of Shares at 5:00pm on 23 August 2020 (WST).

Should you wish to appoint a proxy, and if your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please insert the name of your proxy.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:
-
(a) each Shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy;
-
(b) the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and
-
(c) a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
If you require an additional Proxy Form, the Company will supply it on request.
Voting directions to your proxy: You should direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your Inca 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 (subject to any voting exclusion) may vote as he or she chooses.

2.3 Vote in person
In light of the status of the evolving COVID-19 situation and the Commonwealth and State government restrictions on public gatherings in place at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Directors strongly encourage all Shareholders to lodge a directed proxy form prior to the Meeting. The Chairman will adjourn the Meeting where the number of attendees may lead to the breach local public health laws and regulations.

The body corporate’s representative must present satisfactory evidence of authority that he or she is authorised to act as the body corporate’s representative prior to admission to the Meeting. The authority may be sent to the Company in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative. Unless otherwise specified in the appointment, the representative may exercise, on behalf of that body corporate, all powers that the body corporate could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a Resolution. An appointment of corporate representative form is available from the website of the Company’s share registry (Advanced Share Registry: https://www.advancedshare.com.au).
2.5 Voting by Shareholders at the Meeting
All Resolutions will be determined by a poll at the Meeting.
The Company encourages Shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy on how to vote on the Resolutions. As at the date of this Notice the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.
3. RESOLUTION 1: CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL
3.1 General
- 5 -
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares on issue on a 20 for 1 basis ( Consolidation ).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward and to seek to comply with relevant ASX Listing Rules.
The Directors intend to implement the Consolidation immediately following shareholder approving Resolution 1, and unless otherwise stated all references to the Company’s capital structure in this Resolution 1 are on a post-Consolidation basis.
3.2 Legal requirements
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.
The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of Options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
3.3 Effect on the capital structure
If Resolution 1 is approved, every 20 Shares on issue will be consolidated into 1 Share (subject to rounding). Overall, this will result in the number of Shares currently on issue reducing from 4,078,233,994 Shares to approximately 203,911,700 Shares (subject to rounding).
| Shares | Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-consolidation securities | 4,078,233,994 | 716,058,395 |
| Post-consolidation securities | 203,911,700 | 35,802,920 |
408,662,207 Options currently on issue expire on 7 August 2020 and therefore will not be effected.
As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual Shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject to rounding).
The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders.
The Company does not have any convertible securities on issue, so no consolidation of convertible securities will apply.
The Company does not have any unpaid securities on issue.
3.4 Fractional entitlements
Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Shares which can be evenly divided by 20. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction down to the nearest whole Share.
3.5 Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Securityholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Securityholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation. The Company, the Directors and their advisors do not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
3.6 Holding statements
- 6 -
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 post-Consolidation basis.
After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities proposed to be quoted to be issued to holders of those Securities.
It is the responsibility of each Securityholder to check the number of Securities held before and after the Consolidation.
3.7 Indicative timetable
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the timetable set out below (as set out in Appendix 7A (paragraph 7) of the ASX Listing Rules).
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Announcement to ASX of the following: • Consolidation (Appendix 3A.3); • Notice of Meeting. Dispatch of the Notice of Meeting to Shareholders. |

| Shareholder Meeting to approve the Consolidation. Announcement of effective date of the Consolidation. Effective date for the Consolidation. |

3.8 Directors’ recommendation and voting intention
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Directors’ recommendations are based on the reasons outlined in section 3.1.
Each of the Directors intends to vote all of their Shares in favour of Resolution 1.
4. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Securities
4.1 Background
On 27 September 2019, the Company announced a renounceable entitlement offer to raise approximately $1.6 million ( Entitlement Offer ).
The Entitlement Offer was oversubscribed and to meet additional demand, the Company subsequently placed a further 182,500,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) and 121,667,667 Options ( New Options ), raising
- 7 -
a further $365,000 ( Follow-on Placement ). Funds raised under the Follow-on Placement together with funds raised under the Entitlement Offer were used as follows (as disclosed in the Entitlement Offer Prospectus):
| Use of funds | Amount (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Peru Exploration | $135,000 |
| Queensland Exploration | $299,000 |
| Northern Territory Exploration | $517,000 |
| New Projects/East Timor Exploration | $63,000 |
| Working Capital | $645,000 |
| Costs of the Offer | $273,000 |
| Total use of funds | $1,932,000 |
The New Options have an exercise price of $0.007 each and an expiry date of 31 October 2022 and otherwise are on the terms set out in SCHEDULE 2.
The Follow-on Placement was completed on 31 October 2019 and both the Placement Shares and New Options were issued without Shareholder approval using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company engaged CPS Capital Group as the lead manager and underwriter to the Entitlement Offer. Pursuant to the mandate with CPS Capital Group, as disclosed in the prospectus announced by the Company to the ASX for the Entitlement Offer on 27 September 2019 ( Entitlement Offer Prospectus ), CPS Capital Group was, in consideration for their services, entitled to be paid:
-
(a) 40 New Options for every $1 raised under the Entitlement Offer up to 72 million New Options;
-
(b) $30,000 plus $1 for every $20 raised above $600,000 up to a maximum of $80,000;
-
(c) 1% of the total amount raised under the Entitlement Offer;
-
(d) 5% of the underwritten amount of CPS Capital Group (with CPS Capital Group responsible for subunderwriting fees); and
-
(e) 5% of any New Shares placed by CPS Capital Group (either under the Entitlement Offer or otherwise) beyond its underwritten amount.
CPS Capital Group placed 630,350,000 New Shares beyond the underwritten amount and received a total of $192,357 (excluding expenses and GST), or 9.96% of the amount raised, in fees.
The Company issued 72 million New Options to CPS Capital Group on 31 October 2019. The issue was made without Shareholder approval and using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of Securities under the Follow-on Placement and to CPS Capital Group. The effect of passing Resolutions 2 and 3 is that the Shareholders ratify the issues.
- 8 -
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the issues will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the issues. If Resolution 2 or Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the issues.
All references to the Company’s capital structure in Resolutions 2 and 3 1 are on a pre-Consolidation basis.
4.2 ASX Listing Rules
Broadly speaking and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities a company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid up ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
Securities issues that are approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4 are not included in calculating an entity’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Resolution 2 - Technical 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 Resolution 2:
-
(a) Securities issued under the Follow-on Placement were issued to existing Shareholders applying for shortfalls under the Entitlement Offer and sophisticated investors introduced by CPS Capital Group. None of the recipients were related parties of the Company or otherwise persons to whom Listing Rule 10.11 applies.
-
(b) 182,500,000 Placement Shares and 121,667,667 New Options were issued with the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.
-
(c) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company that rank equally with existing Shares on issue; the New Options have an exercise price of $0.07 each and an expiry date of 31 October 2022 and otherwise are on terms set out in SCHEDULE 2.
-
(d) the Placement Shares and New Options were issued on 31 October 2019.

-
(g) other than those set out in this section 4 and SCHEDULE 2, there are no other material terms in relation to the issue.
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3. These will restore the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1 and allow the Company to issue further Securities as permitted by Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval.
5. Resolutions 4 to 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares to Mr Rob Heaslop

Neither MRG Resources nor Mr Rob Heaslop is a related party of the Company or otherwise a person to whom Listing Rule 10.1 or Listing Rule 10.11 applies, and the MRG Generated Project Reimbursement Shares are not restricted securities.
Further, the Company has, through a consultancy company, engaged Mr Rob Heaslop as a consultant ( Consultant ) to provide geologist services to the Company. Mr Heaslop BSc (Hons) MAusIMM is a qualified geologist with exploration and resource development experience in Africa, Australia and the Pacific, with specific expertise in project generation and early stage targeting for precious and base metal deposits. The material terms of the consultancy agreement ( Consultancy Agreement ) under which Mr Heaslop consults to the Company are as follows:
-
(a) Mr Heaslop acts as the Company’s regional exploration manager for Australia, with the role of identifying at least 2 potential projects per year that meet the Company’s selection criteria, planning and undertaking exploration programs on behalf of the Company, liaising with project stakeholders, preparing relevant reports for the Company and other stakeholders, and reporting to the Company’s Managing Director.
-
(b) The Company must pay the Consultant:
-
(i) $100,008 per annum, with 25% to be satisfied through the issue of Shares at an issue price equal to the VWAP on the last day of each quarter prior to payment and the balance in cash; and
-
(ii) a daily field rate where more than 16 hours of service are provided in a week.
-

-

If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed, the issues will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the issues. If Resolution 4, Resolution 5 or Resolutions 6 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the issue.
