3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares
3.1 Background
On 27 June 2017, the Company announced a placement to raise a total of $1,022,914 (before costs) through the issue of 34,097,138 Shares at $0.03 each ( Placement Shares ).
3.2 General
The Placement Shares were issued on 6 July 2017 within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares.
3.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1. It provides that, where a company in 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 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, as applicable.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Page 2
3.4 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 the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) a total of 34,097,138 Shares were issued as Placement Shares within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval;
-
(b) the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.03 each;
-
(c) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(d) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares to fully fund all 5 stages of exploration for the Company's Braeside project, as well as for general working capital; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
4. Resolution 2 – Participation in Placement – Related Party
4.1 General
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for Mr Michael Smith (or his nominee) to participate in the capital raising on the same terms as the Placement.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,500,000 Placement Shares to Mr Smith (or his nominee) arising from the participation by Mr Smith in the Placement ( Participation ).
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11
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 of the Corporations Act.
The Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Smith is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Page 3
The Directors (other than Mr Smith, given his material personal interest in this Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Mr Smith on the same terms as the Placement Shares being issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the Participation involves the issue of Placement Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Smith, given his material personal interest in this Resolution) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Placement Shares to Mr Smith will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to, and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to Mr Smith (or his nominee);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Smith (or his nominees) is 1,500,000 Shares;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(d) the issue price will be $0.03 per Share, being the same as the Placement Shares issued under the Placement;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 3.4(e) of this Explanatory Statement; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

The full terms and conditions of the Director Options are detailed in Schedule 3.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Broker Options.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is contained in Section 3.3.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to retain flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
5.3 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 the issue of the Broker Options:

6. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Director Options
6.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 4,000,000 Options to Mr Brett Keillor as part of his remuneration in relation to his role as Technical Director ( Director Options ).
The primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in Mr Keillor's remuneration package, and to align his interests with those of Shareholders. The Board considers that Mr Keillor's experience will greatly assist the development of the Company. As such, the Board believes that the number of Director Options to be granted to Mr Keillor is commensurate with his value to the Company.
The Board also considers that the grant of the Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will enable the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Keillor.
The Director Options will be issued for nil consideration, exercisable at $0.03 each and expiring on or before the date that is 3 years after the date of issue. The full terms and conditions of the Director Options are detailed in Schedule 3.
6.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the issue of the Director Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Keillor, given his material personal interest in this Resolution) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
The effect of passing Resolution 4 will be to permit the Company to issue the Director Options to Mr Keillor or his respective nominee. Mr Keillor is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Options to Mr Brett Keillor (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3
Chapter 2E
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Mr Keillor is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Page 6
The Directors (other than Mr Keillor, given his material personal interest in this Resolution) have considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is applicable in the circumstances. Accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Director Options pursuant to Section 208 of the Corporations Act.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13
