EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

1.1 General

As announced on 17 March 2022, the Company received commitments to raise $5,000,000 from sophisticated and professional investors for a placement of new Shares at $0.052 per Share ( Placement ). The Company subsequently received commitments for an additional $100,000 worth of Shares under the Placement.

On 24 March 2022, pursuant to the Placement, the Company issued 58,919,093 Shares using to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and 35,311,676 Shares using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Shares ).

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 58,919,093 issued using its 7.1A capacity, and Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 35,311,676 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

1.2 Director Participation

In addition, Director, John Prineas wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement for the issue of 3,846,154 Shares to Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C, an entity controlled by John Prineas ( Participation ).

This Participation is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 3).

1.3 Lead Manager

On 14 March 2022 the Company engaged the services of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) (AFSL 234666) ( Canaccord or Lead Manager ) to manage the Placement as announced to ASX on 17 March 2022.

The material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate are as follows:

  • (a) Engagement: The Company agrees to appoint Canaccord as lead manager, broker and sole bookrunner in respect of managing the Placement on an exclusive basis.

  • (b) Fees: The Company agreed to pay Canaccord:

  • (i) a capital raising fee of 4% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement ( Capital Raising Fee );

  • (ii) a management fee of 2% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement ( Management Fee ); and

5

  • (iii) subject to Canaccord receiving $5,000,000 in demand for the Placement and the Company completing the Placement, an option fee of 5,000,000 unlisted options in the Company exercisable at $0.095 per option on or before the date which is two years from the date of issue ( Option Fee ).

  • (c) Expenses: The Company will reimburse Canaccord for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and travel expenses) incurred by the Lead Manager in connection with this Lead Manager Mandate and the Placement. Any expense incurred above $2,000 will require prior approval of the Company.

  • (d) Termination: The Lead Manager Mandate contains termination clauses considered standard for an agreement of this nature.

The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms and considered standard for an agreement of its nature.

The Company issued the Option Fee to the Lead Manager on 24 Match 2022. Ratification of the issue of the Option Fee is the subject of Resolution 4.

1.4

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 3 November 2021.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 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 Placement Shares.

1.5

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

6

1.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

1.7 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 Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Canaccord and other intermediaries. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Canaccord seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 94,230,769 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 58,919,093 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (ii) 35,311,676 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (d) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e)

  • the Placement Shares were issued on 24 March 2022;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.052 per Placement Shares. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $4,900,000 (not including the funds to be raised pursuant to the Participation the subject of Resolution 3), which will be applied towards exploration and development activities at Mt Alexander, exploration at the Company’s funding the next phase of exploration and development activities in the

7

Company’s other projects, including the Paterson Project, and for working capital; and

  • (h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

2. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR RELATED PARTY PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT

As set out in Section 1.2 above, Director John Prineas wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement.

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 3,846,154 Shares to Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C, an entity controlled by John Prineas, as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.

2.1 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity controlled by Director John Prineas.

The Directors (other than John Prineas who has a material personal interest in the 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 Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

2.2 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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue

8

or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 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 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds of $200,000 which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.7(g) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 25% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

2.4 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 Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C which falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity controlled by a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Zeus Super Pty Ltd ATF Zeus Super A/C is 3,846,154;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) 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) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.052 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of Shares under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.7(g) above;

9

  • (g) the Shares to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director;

  • (h) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statements is included in Resolution 3 of the Notice.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS IN CONSIDERATION FOR SERVICES PROVIDED

3.1 General

On 24 March 2022, the Company issued 5,000,000 Options in consideration for Canaccord acting as lead manager, broker and sole bookrunner in respect of the Placement ( Lead Manager Options ).

As summarised in Section 1.4 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that the listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

10

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 5,000,000 Lead Manager Options were issued. The terms and conditions of the Lead Manager Options are set out in Schedule 1;
