EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 contains the Company’s Remuneration Report on pages 22 to 25. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration policies and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors of the Company.

14

1.2 Voting Exclusion Statement

A description of the persons not permitted to vote on Resolution 1, and whose votes will be disregarded if cast on Resolution 1, is set out in the Notice.

2. RESOLUTION 2 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF MAY PLACEMENT SHARES

2.1 Background

As announced on 27 May 2020, Silver Mines recently conducted a Placement to Sophisticated Investors, raising $12 million (before costs) ( May Placement ). Under the May Placement, the Company offered Sophisticated Investors the opportunity to subscribe for Shares at $0.10 each ( May Placement Shares ).

The May Placement was fully subscribed for 120,000,000 May Placement Shares, which were issued as follows:

  • 95,825,093 May Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 capacity;

  • 23,674,907 May Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A capacity;

  • 500,000 Shares were subscribed for by Related Parties of the Company, however, are subject to Shareholder approval (see Resolution 6).

The funds raised under the May Placement were and will be primarily used for the pre-development progression of the Company’s flagship Bowdens Silver Mine. Exploration activities in the 12 months from the May Placement have included and will include extensional drilling at Bowdens Silver and explorational drilling at the Barabolar Project. Initial drilling at the Company’s Tuena Gold Project is also expected. Funding has also been applied to land acquisitions and for corporate and general working purposes.

Resolution 2 proposes the ratification by Shareholders of the issue of 119,500,000 May Placement Shares.

2.2 Requirement for Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of securities in the Company where such issue represents more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue within the 12 month period immediately prior to the date of that issue or the date of agreement to effect that issue ( 15% Threshold ).

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that companies that obtain Shareholder approval by special resolution at their Annual General Meeting, may issue securities up to 10% of the Company’s securities then on issue within the 12 month period immediately prior to the date of that issue ( 10% Threshold ).

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without Shareholder approval, provided such issue, in aggregate with any other applicable issues of Equity Securities by the Company, did not breach the 15% Threshold or 10% Threshold, as applicable.

Shareholder ratification of an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold or 10% Threshold, without additional Shareholder approval (but still subject to any other approval required under the Listing Rules), to the extent of the securities that were the subject of that ratification.

Resolution 2 therefore seeks Shareholder ratification, under Listing Rule 7.4, for the issue of 119,500,000 May Placement Shares issued under the May Placement, in order to restore the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities within the 15% Threshold and 10% Threshold.

(a) Number of securities issued

119,500,000 May Placement Shares

(b) Issue price of securities

  • (c) Terms of issue of the securities

(d) Date of Issue

The May Placement Shares were issued on 3 June 2020

  • (e) Parties to whom the securities were issued

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12-month period, following approval at its Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This 10% Placement is in addition to the 15% placement capacity that a Company may utilise according to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of less than A$300 million.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact number of Shares that may be issued by the Company pursuant to this Resolution 8, if duly approved, will be determined in accordance with the provisions of Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

8.2 Required information under Listing Rule 7.3A

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company gives the following details in relation to this Resolution 8:

(a) Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity:

The number of Equity Securities which the Company may issue pursuant to this Resolution 8, if duly approved, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

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

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

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

  • A. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • B. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

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

  • A. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • B. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4,

  • (iv) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4,

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

28

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

D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.

In relation to the Company, “relevant period” means the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement.

(b) Issue price of securities

The minimum price at which Equity Securities will be issued in utilisation of all or part of the 10% Placement Capacity approved under this Resolution 8, will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Shares, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the Shares are issued or agreed to be issued; or

  • (ii) if the Shares are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(p) Risk of economic and voting dilution of ordinary securities holders

Any issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the voting interests, and may dilute the economic interests, of current Shareholders who do not acquire Equity Securities under that issue.

The table below seeks to demonstrate the potential dilution of current Shareholders from the issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The table considers the current number of Shares on issue, the effect of a change in the number of Shares on issue, and a variation in the issue price of Shares (noting that Shares may only be issued at up to a maximum 25% discount based on the volume weighted average price of the Shares calculated over the 15 Trading Days preceding the alternate dates referred to in subparagraph (b) immediately above).

  • (i) the current number of Shares on issue is the Shares on issue at as the date of this Document;

  • (iii) the Company issues the maximum possible number of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (iv) the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one Shareholder will be subject to all Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own respective shareholding depending on their specific circumstances; and

  • (v) this table does not consider any dilution which may occur subject to any issue of Equity Securities made in accordance with the provisions of either Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4.

There is a risk that:

  • (q) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be lower on the date of issue of the Shares than on the date of the Meeting; and

30

  • (iii) the effect of the issue on the Company;
