4 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Remuneration Report is detailed on pages 40 to 51 of the Annual Report and is available on the Company's website at https://www.roxresources.com.au/.

The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

The Board is committed to an appropriately structured remuneration framework, underpinned by guiding remuneration principles, focused on driving a performance culture over the short, medium and long term to deliver satisfactory returns to Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report:

  • (a) sets out the components of executive and non-executive Director's remuneration, including any associated performance conditions (if any);

  • (b) defines the Company's remuneration objectives and structure for fixed and variable short and long term remuneration frameworks; and

Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director (if applicable) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

P a g e | 7

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) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2023 annual general meeting. Please note if the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting and if a second Strike is received at the 2025 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairperson will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

5 Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Nathan Stoitis as Director

5.1 General

Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office, without re-election, past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

Clause 13.1 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint a person to be a Director at any time, provided that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office until the next annual general meeting of the Company following their appointment and is eligible for election at that meeting.

On 11 September 2024, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Nathan Stoitis as a nonexecutive Director with effect from 10 September 2024. Mr Stoitis will be appointed as an addition to the Board. Mr Stoitis is the nominee director of substantial shareholder, Hawke's Point (RRL) L.P. ( Hawke's Point ). Under the subscription agreement between the Company and Hawke's Point dated 17 March 2021, Hawke's Point has the right to nominate a director to the Board, for as long as it holds a voting power in 9% or more of the total Shares on issue in the Company.

Resolution 2 provides that, pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, clause 13.1(d) of the Constitution (and for all other purposes), Mr Nathan Stoitis retires from office and being eligible, seeks election as a Director.

Details of Mr Stoitis' background and experience are detailed in the Annual Report.

Mr Nathan Stoitis was appointed by the Board as a non-executive Director and is a nominee director of Hawkes Point. As Mr Stoitis is a nominee director, the Board does not consider him to be independent. If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Stoitis' will be a Director with effect from 10 September 2024.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Stoitis' will not be elected as a Director.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

5.2 Board Recommendation

Based on Mr Nathan Stoitis' skills and significant experience, the Board (excluding Mr Stoitis) supports the election of Mr Stoitis and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6 Resolution 3 – Ratification of Shares to Topdrill under Listing Rule 7.1

6.1 General

On 12 August 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Topdrill Pty Ltd ( Topdrill ) for the provision of drilling services. The Company entered into a separate agreement with Topdrill, pursuant to which the Company may elect to issue Shares (in lieu of cash) as partial consideration for drilling services provided by Topdrill ( Topdrill Agreement ).

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Topdrill Agreement is detailed below:

  • (a) ( Term ): The Topdrill Agreement expires on 31 December 2024.

  • (b) ( Consideration ): The Company may elect to settle up to 50% of the meter charges and active drilling services invoiced by Topdrill through the issue of Shares, up to a maximum value of $1 million, with additional drilling costs to be paid in cash.

  • (c) ( Pricing ): Any Shares issued in partial consideration of drilling services provided will be issued at a deemed issue price equal to the VWAP of Shares as traded on the ASX for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the relevant invoice.

  • (d) ( Voluntary Escrow ): Shares issued pursuant to the Topdrill Agreement are subject to a voluntary escrow period of six months commencing from the date of the relevant invoice.

  • (e) ( Termination ): The Company or Topdrill may terminate the Topdrill Agreement by giving seven days written notice to the other party, provided that Topdrill has not yet mobilised to the work site when the notice is issued.

Pursuant to the Topdrill Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue up to 7,407,407 Shares to Topdrill (and/or its nominee(s)) in lieu of cash payments to satisfy invoices issued by Topdrill for the drilling services provided to the Company ( Drilling Fee Shares ). To date, the Company has issued the following:

  • (a) 600,955 Shares on 4 September 2024 at a deemed issue price of $0.1336 per Share; and

  • (b) 1,307,093 Shares on 16 September 2024 at a deemed issue price of $0.1382 per Share,

without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of the Notice, the remaining balance of drilling costs which the Company may settle through the issue of Shares in lieu of cash is $739,072, comprising up to 5,499,359 Shares.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the agreement to issue, and subsequent issue of the Drilling Fee Shares pursuant to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

  • 6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company is entitled to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued share capital through placements during any 12-month period, subject to specific restrictions, without needing prior Shareholder approval ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

P a g e | 9

The issue of the Drilling Fee Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date the relevant Drilling Fee Shares were agreed to be issued.

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. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification for the Drilling Fee Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Drilling Fee Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity 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 agreement to issue the Drilling Fee Shares.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Drilling Fee Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the agreement to issue the Drilling Fee Shares.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to Resolution 3 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The Drilling Fee Shares were agreed to be issued, and were subsequently issued to Topdrill (and/or its nominee(s)).

  • (b) The maximum number of Drilling Fee Shares the Company has agreed to issue is up to 7,407,407 Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 3.

  • (c) The Drilling Fee Shares 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.

  • (d) As at the date of the Notice, the Company has issued the following Drilling Fee Shares:

  • (i) 600,955 Shares on 4 September 2024 at a deemed issue price of $0.1336 per Share;

  • (ii) 1,307,093 Shares on 16 September 2024 at a deemed issue price of $0.1382 per Share,

  • and, up to 5,499,359 Shares will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Drilling Fee Shares were issued, or will be issued, for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds are to be raised from the issues of the Drilling Fee Shares.

  • (f) The Drilling Fee Shares were issued, or will be issued, (in lieu of cash) as consideration of the amount of $1,000,000 payable for drilling services provided between August 2024 and October 2024 in accordance with the Topdrill Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Topdrill Agreement are detailed in Section 6.1.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 3.

6.4 Board Recommendation

7 Resolution 4 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Nathan Stoitis

7.1 General

On 11 September 2024, the Company announced that it had appointed Mr Nathan Stoitis as a nonexecutive Director, effective 10 September 2024. In connection with his appointment, the Company resolved to grant 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)).

Refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated 11 September 2024 for further details.

The Performance Rights will be granted as part of the remuneration of Mr Stoitis. The Board considers that the grant of Performance Rights is a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to appropriately incentivise the continued performance of Mr Stoitis, and is consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes, to issue up to 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)).

The Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) will vest upon satisfaction of the below milestones by the expiry date:

Tranche Number of

on the date which is six (6) months from the date the
Performance Rights are granted.
2 500,000
The Board resolving to proceed with a Decision to Mine at
the Company’s Youanmi Gold Project;

The Company achieving a twenty (20) consecutive trading

Other than for reasons outside the control of Mr Stoitis (such
as redundancy, death, disability or mental incapacity), Mr
Stoitis remaining employed or engaged with the Company on
the date which is six (6) months from the date the
Performance Rights are granted.

The terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are detailed in Schedule 2.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

P a g e | 11

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of Performance Rights (and their exercise or conversion into Shares) constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Stoitis is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Directors (other than Mr Stoitis, given his material personal interest in Resolution 4) have considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and have resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is applicable. Accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Performance Rights pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

7.3 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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1) as Mr Stoitis is a related party to the Company, 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.

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Nathan Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)), under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s). Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11 (Exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.2). Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights will not be included in the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s) and may consider alternative forms of remuneration with Mr Stoitis.

7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to Resolution 4 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Nathan Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)).

  • (b) Mr Stoitis falls within category 10.11.1 of the Listing Rules, as he is a Director and therefore a related party of the Company. Any party Mr Stoitis nominates to receive Performance Rights would be expected to fall within the category 10.11.4 of the Listing Rules as an associate of Mr Stoitis.

  • (c) The maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) is 1,000,000 Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 4.

P a g e | 12

  • (d) A summary of the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights is detailed in Schedule 2.

  • (e) The Company will issue the Performance Rights to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f)

  • The current remuneration package of Mr Stoitis is detailed below:

Name Base Salary (excluding
superannuation) (A$)
Superannuation

Share Based
Payments (A$)
Total (A$)
Nathan
Stoitis
50,000 5,750 - 55,750

Note: This amount excludes the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 4. Assuming all the vesting conditions are satisfied to the maximum extent, the total value attributed to the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) would be approximately $110,768 (based on an underlying Share price of $0.135, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 10 September 2024).

  • (g) The Performance Rights will be granted for nil cash consideration (and no amount is payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights).

  • (h) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Performance Rights as they are being issued for nil cash consideration.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 4.

7.5 Board Recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Stoitis) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8 Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

8.1 General

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 6.2.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity (as defined below) 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% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a market capitalisation equal to or less than $300,000,000.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $47.2 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 10 October 2024). If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds $300,000,000 or the Company has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, then Resolution 5 will no longer be effective and must be withdrawn.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. 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 8.2(c)).

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

P a g e | 13

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility 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 under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 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 Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

8.2 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. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.

(b) Equity Securities

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

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 on issue one quoted classes of Equity Securities, being 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 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 8.2(f)), a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • (A) plus the number of 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 Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing 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 Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (C) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing 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 Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

P a g e | 14

  • (D) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 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 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 the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

  • (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.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 410,595,287 Shares and, subject to Resolution 3 being approved by Shareholders, therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 61,589,293 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 5, 41,059,529 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 (refer to Section 8.2(c)).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by holders of the Eligible Entity's ordinary securities of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(the 10% Placement Period ).

P a g e | 15

8.3 Effect of Resolution

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

8.4

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (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 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.

  • (b) If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class 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.

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 10 October 2024.

  • (d) The table also shows:

  • (i) 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

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

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

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

  • (ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) 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%.

  • (iv) 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.

  • (v) 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.

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

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.115, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 10 October 2024;

  • (e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.

P a g e | 17

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A(4) upon the issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (h) 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 subscribers 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 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).

  • (i) The subscribers under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but, may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

  • (j) In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

  • (k) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2023 annual general meeting.

  • (l) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 5.

  • (m) At the date of the 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. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
