Stavely Minerals Limited EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT SHARES
1.1 Background
As announced by the Company on 11 June 2024, Stavely completed a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors of 89,189,189 Shares at $0.037 each Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $3.3 million ( Placement ), excluding the Directors participation of $350,000 (refer Resolutions 5 to 8). The Placement Shares were issued on 18 June 2024. Each Placement subscriber will receive one free attaching quoted option for every two new Shares issued ( Placement Option ). The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.07 each with an expiry date of 31 December 2025 (refer to Resolution 3) and it is the intention of the Company to have the Placement Options listed.
50,995,180 Shares issued under Placement were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the remaining 38,194,009 Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 16 November 2023.
The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The Company engaged the services of Whairo Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 618 944 568) ( Whairo Capital ), (Corporate Authorised Representative (number 1282684) of Redleaf Securities Pty Ltd (ACN 606 000 800) the holder of Australian Financial Services Licence number 510097), to manage the issue of the Placement. The Company paid a fee of 6% on the value of all Placement Shares, and will issue Whairo Capital 5,000,000 Options on the same terms as the Placement Options to Whairo Capital (or nominees) ( Lead Manager Options ) (refer to Resolution 4).
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
1.2 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 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 16 November 2023.
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 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
1.3 Listing Rules 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
7
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.
1.4 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 ASX 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 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing 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.
1.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX 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 were primarily clients of Whairo Capital, together with clients of participating brokers. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Whairo Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. None of the recipients were 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) the Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 50,995,180 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

(ii) 38,194,009 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);
-
(d) the issue price was $0.037 per Share under both the issues of Shares made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

-
(f) the funds raised from Placement will be applied to exploration at the Company’s Stavely Copper-Gold Project in Western Victoria, the to-be-acquired Hawkstone Nickel-Copper-Cobalt
8

(g) the Placement Shares were issued on 18 June 2024;
-
(h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1 and 2 of this Notice.
2. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS AND LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS
2.1 Background
The background to the Placement is set out in section 1.1.
Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options.
As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Placement Options and the Lead Manager Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and may exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options and the Lead Manager Options.
2.2
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4:
-
(a) the Placement Options will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were primarily clients of Whairo Capital, together with clients of participating brokers.

-
(c) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

-
(g) the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options will be granted for nil cash consideration. The Placement Options will be issued free attached with the Placement Shares on a 1:2 basis.

The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(h) the Placement Options and Lead Manager Options are not issued under an agreement; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 3 and 4 of this Notice.
3. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 8 - APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES AND OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
3.1 Background
The background to the Placement is set out in section 1.1.
In order to encourage participation in the Placement, Mr Christopher Cairns, Ms Jennifer Murphy, Mr Peter Ironside and Ms Amanda Sparks, each a Director of the Company, have agreed to participate in the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval.
Resolutions 5 to 8 seeks Shareholder approval for Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms with the issue of up to 9,459,456 Shares at an issue price of $0.037, together with one free attaching quoted Option for every two new Shares issued ( Participation ). The Options are exercisable at $0.07 each with an expiry date of 31 December 2025.
3.2 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 and Options ( Related Party Securities ) which constitutes giving a financial benefit to Mr Christopher Cairns, Ms Jennifer Murphy, Mr Peter Ironside and Ms Amanda Sparks, or their nominees, who are all related parties by virtue of being directors of the Company.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares and Options will be issued on the same terms as Placement Shares
10
and Placement Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.3 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) (10.11.1) a Related Party;
-
(b) (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;
-
(c) (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;
-
(d) (10.11.4) an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) (10.11.5) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
This issue of the Related Party Securities falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Resolutions 5 to 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
3.4

3.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Securities (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties. The Company does not consider this will have a material impact on activities.
Resolutions 5 to 8 are each independent Resolutions.
4. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF SHARES TO DRILLERS – LISTING RULE 7.1
4.1 Background
As announced on 11 June 2024, the Company agreed to issue Shares to its existing drilling contractor, Titeline (Greenstone Property Pty Ltd as trustee for the Titeline Property Trust) (Titeline) as a part payment for drilling services at the Junction Lode Project. The number of Shares to be issued will be calculated as one-third of the cost of the first two diamond drill holes testing the new interpretation at the Junction Lode. The Shares will be issued at the 5 Day VWAP calculated for the 5 trading days prior to commencement of drilling (being 3.9 cents each) and Stavely estimates this will amount to no more than 2,700,000 Shares ( Drillers Shares )
12
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Drillers Shares .
4.2 General
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Drillers Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
By approving the issue of Drillers Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Driller Shares.
4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Drillers Shares. In addition, the issue of the Drillers Shares will be excluded in calculating the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Drillers Shares.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Driller Shares and will remunerate Titeline with 100% cash.
4.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:
-
(a) The Driller Shares will be issued to Greenstone Property Pty Ltd , or their nominee;
-
(b) In accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that e none of the recipients will be:

(e) the deemed issue price is $0.039 per Driller Share. There are no funds raised from the issue of Driller Shares as the Driller Shares will be issued in lieu of part drilling services, and the Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Driller Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Driller Shares is to reduce the cash outflow for drilling services;
-
