EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Receipt and Consideration of Accounts & Reports

A copy of the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 (which incorporates the Company's financial report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report) and the auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution costs associated with doing so for all shareholders.

You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company by phone at (03) 8630 3321, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years.

Alternatively, you may access the Annual Report at the Company's website: https://roninresources.com.au/investor/ or via the Company's announcement platform on ASX. Except for as set out in Resolution 1, no Resolution is required on these reports.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors of the Company.

In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the General Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that in accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty five (25%) per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “ Spill Resolution ”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election.

It is noted that at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast and accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Meeting.

The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Board Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as described in the Remuneration Report), and that each Director (or any closely related party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on Resolution 1 (as described in the "Voting Exclusion Statements" section above), the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 2: Election of Mr Marnus Bothma as a Director of the Company

Background

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

6

Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Marnus Bothma, having been appointed by other Directors on 7 July 2023 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

Mr Bothma is a qualified geologist and company executive who is experienced in early exploration of mining assets through to production, having conducted numerous technical programs in Australia, Canada and Korea. Mr Bothma was the founding director and CEO of Peak Iron Mines, a privately owned iron ore mining company with operations in South Australia exporting through Whyalla. Mr Bothma also founded and (until mid 2022) was the Managing Director of Northern Iron Pty Ltd, which acquired and operates the Warrego tailings rehabilitation project in the Northern Territory. Mr Bothma has also served as non-executive director on the board of ASX listed company Chase Mining Ltd (ASX:CLM).

Board Recommendation

The Board (with Mr Bothma abstaining from voting), recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the election of Mr Bothma under Resolution 2.

The Chairperson of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Re-election of Mr Matthew Keen as a Director of the Company

Background

The Constitution of the Company requires that there be an election of Directors at each Annual General Meeting. Further, the Listing Rules require that a director must not hold office past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

Mr Matthew Keen retires from office in accordance with the Constitution and, being eligible, offers themselves for re-election. The relevant professional experience and skills of Mr Keen are provided below.

Previously Mr Keen held roles including General Manager of Corporate Development at Whitehaven Coal, Managing Director of MHM Metals and Queen Street Capital, Wealth Advisor at UBS and General Manager of Switchgear and Instrumentation Hong Kong. During his career Matthew has been heavily involved in M&A activities both inhouse and as an external advisor as well as facilitating and setting corporate strategy for listed companies Whitehaven Coal and MHM Metals. Matthew was previously a Non-Executive Director of Alloggio Group Limited.

Board Recommendation

The Board (with Mr Keen abstaining from voting) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Keen under Resolution 3.

The Chairperson of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

The Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the 2,000,000 Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 4 will no longer use the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting (" 10% Placement Facility ") at which the approval for such additional capacity is approved by special resolution of Shareholders. The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The Company obtained shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Facility at its 2022 Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2022.

If shareholders do not approve Resolution 6 then the Company will not be able to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for which approval is sought at the Meeting.

The exact 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 (see below).

The Company continues to actively seek to enhance the value of its exploration projects. Should the Company utilise the 10% Placement Facility, it intends to use the funds for mineral exploration activities, or to meet additional working capital requirements.

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an Annual General Meeting. This means it 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).

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted securities on issue, being Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an Annual General Meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the Annual General Meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D)–E

• A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the “relevant period” (which, for the Company, is the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement):

• (A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

• (B) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

• (C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

• (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

• (D) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.;

• (E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

• (F) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

• D is 10%

• E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in:

• (i) if the Company has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

• (ii) if the Company has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from admission to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement,

where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

10

• (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2

(e) Nature and Consideration for issue and Minimum Issue Price

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant Equity Securities; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

• (f) 10% Placement Period

• (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

• (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.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 17 October 2023 (" Current Share Price ") and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

• two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

• two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2		Issue Price	Issue Price
		$0.070 50% decrease in Current Share Price	$0.14 Current Share Price	$0.28 100% increase in Current Share Price
Current Variable A 36,825,010 Shares	10% Voting **Dilution **	3,682,501Shares
	**Funds raised **	$257,775	$515,550	$1,031,100
50% increase in current Variable A 55,237,515 Shares	10% Voting **Dilution **	5,523,752Shares
	Funds raised	$386,663	$773,325	$1,546,650
100% increase in current Variable A 73,650,020 Shares	10% Voting **Dilution **	7,365,002Shares
	**Funds raised **	$515,550	$1,031,100	$2,062,201

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

• The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

• No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares or other convertible securities are converted to Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

• 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%.

12

• 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 General 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.

• The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

• The Current Share Price is $0.14 (14 cents), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 17 October 2023.

• (e) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • 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 issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the 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 Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new businesses, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new businesses, assets or investments (provided that the Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration).

Equity Issues over the Last 12 Months – Listing Rule 7.3A.6

Due to the forward looking nature of the approval, the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 AGM.

During the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting, being on and from 27 November 2022, the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 Equity Securities (ordinary shares) under the Company’s 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The 2,000,000 Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting issued during the 12 month period preceding the Meeting represent 5.6% of the total number of equity securities on issue in the Company (being 35,550,010 equity securities, comprising 31,625,010 ordinary shares and 3,925,000 unlisted options) at the commencement of the 12 month period preceding the Meeting (being 27 November 2022).

Details as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 for the issue are set out below:

• Date of issue – 29 June 2023.

• Number of securities issued – 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares.

• Recipients – Professional and sophisticated investors identified by Vert Capital or the Company.

• • Price - $0.15 (15 cents).

• Discount – The shares were issued at 3.2% discount to the closing price on the date of issue of $0.155.

• Total consideration – $300,000 (before costs) was raised through the offer with $250,000 remaining.

• Use of consideration - funds raised from the Placement have been, or are to be, used primarily towards exploration of the Hornby Lake Lithium Project and to meet working capital requirements of the Company.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, no existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded and there is no voting exclusion for Resolution 6 in this Notice.
