2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the financial report of the company for a period.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE GALWADGERE PROJECT
4.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by permitting the ratification of previous issues of shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of shares at a general meeting, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the Company's previous issues of shares (made under Listing Rule 7.1) by way of approving Resolution 3, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will no longer be deducted from the Company's 15% placement capacity.
In order to restore the Company's capacity to issue equity securities, it is proposed that the shareholders ratify the issue of ordinary shares as detailed below. Ratification provides the Company with flexibility in capital management and allows the Company to make further issues for working capital or other purposes as required.
If Resolution 3 is not passed the Company's 15% placement capacity will not be refreshed to the extent of the approval proposed to be given by Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
5.1 General
On 29 October 2021, the Company announced a share placement to raise approximately \$5.6 million at a price of \$0.085 per share (October Placement). Pursuant to the October Placement the Company issued 65,882,355 shares on 4 November 2021.
Resolution 4 seeks ratification of the issue of new shares under the October Placement.
5.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020.
The issue of securities under the October Placement does not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7 exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the securities under the October Placement. 35,392,243 new shares were issued under the October Placement using part of the Company's 15% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and 30,490,112 new shares were issued using the Company's additional capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by permitting the ratification of previous issues of securities which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of securities at a general meeting, those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the Company's previous issues of securities (made under Listing Rule 7.1) by way of approving Resolution 4, those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will no longer be deducted from the Company's 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
In order to restore the Company's capacity to issue equity securities, it is proposed that the shareholders ratify the issue of securities as detailed below. Ratification provides the Company with flexibility in capital management and allows the Company to make further issues for working capital or other purposes as required.
If Resolution 4 is not passed the Company's 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A will not be refreshed to the extent of the approval proposed to be given by Resolution 4.
5.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the shares pursuant to the March Placement:
a) Names of persons to whom the Company issued the securities

b) Number and class of securities the Company issued
65,882,355 shares were issued.

h) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
6.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of \$300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
- (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that 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 Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for general working capital and/or business growth and development.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 1 November 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares | Issue Price | |||||
| Number of Shares on Issue | \$0.042 | \$0.084 | \$0.164 | |||

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
- There are currently 310,901,115 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting
-
- The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 1 November 2021.
-
- The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
- The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
- The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
- This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
- 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%.
-
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
- (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
- (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
- (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
- (v) prevailing market conditions; and
- (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020 (Previous Approval).
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has issued 30,490,112 Ordinary Fully Paid Shares, representing 10% of the total number of equity securities on issue at 30 November 2020, under LR7.1A. The total cash consideration received from the issue of these shares was \$2,591,660.
The shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, identified by the Company and the lead manager to the issue, none of whom were related parties of the Company.
The shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing shares on issue.
The shares were issued on 5 November 2021 at a price of \$0.085 each, being a 13.3% discount to the last close price before the announcement of the issue of \$0.098 as at 26 October 2021.
Funds raised by the issue of shares under the October Placement will be used to fund an accelerated exploration programme at SKY's tin, copper and gold projects with a focus on the Doradilla Tin-Copper Project, and general working capital purposes.
