EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares
Background
The Company is seeking shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of 40,000,050 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) on 3 January 2021 at an issue price of $ 0.043 (4.3 cents) per Share on the terms as announced on 28 January 2021.
On 28 January 2021, the Company announced that it had raised $2.2m via a Placement in two tranches the first of which was completed on 3 February 2021. The Placement was arranged and supported by Fresh Equities Pty Ltd ( Fresh Equities ), who provided a cornerstone bid for the offer. Fees associated with the Placement included a 2% management fee on the total amount raised under the Capital Raising plus a 4% selling fee on the total amount raised from investors introduced by Fresh Equities who participate in the Capital Raising.
The Shares were issued without shareholder approval from the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies. The issue of the Shares was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company may seek shareholder approval at it’s annual general meeting to issue additional quoted securities up to 10% of it’s issued capital, provided that it is an eligible entity (Eligible Entity). An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting –
-
a) it must have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.
-
b) it must not be included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
At the time the approval was obtained (the Company’s last Annual General Meeting 18 November 2020), the Company was an Eligible Entity.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. The issue of the Shares was within the Company's ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity and the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 so as to refresh its capacity to make further issues (if required) without shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
If Resolution 1 is approved, the prior issue of 40,000,050 Shares may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company will therefore have the flexibility, if required, to issue additional equity securities without the 40,000,050 Shares counting towards the 25% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
-
(a) the Shares were issued to new and existing shareholders identified as professional, sophisticated and other exempt investors by the Lead Manager Fresh Equities;
-
(b) the number and class of securities issued was 40,000,050 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;
-
(c) the Shares were issued on 3 February 2021;
-
(d) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.043 (4.3 cents) per Share;
-
(e) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used towards further geophysics and drilling at the Company’s East Tennant and Canobie Copper-Gold projects in addition to other general working capital requirements; and
-
(f) refer to note 6 for voting exclusions on this Resolution.

Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2: Approval of Issue of Shares to Professional and Sophisticated Investors under Placement
Background
On 28 January 2021, the Company announced Placements totalling 12,639,534 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at $0.043 (4.3 cents) per share ( Placement ) subject to Shareholder approval.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to allot and issue 8,813,953 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.043 (4.3 cents) per Share to professional and sophisticated investors under the Placement. A further 3,825,581 Shares are to be issued to Directors on the same terms and approval for those issues is sought by resolutions 3, 4 & 5.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval, issue or agree to issue more 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. As the issue of 8,813,953 fully paid ordinary shares, without shareholder approval, exceed that 15% limit, the Company proposes Resolution 2 to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will issue the 8,813,953 fully paid ordinary shares without using any of its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, retain the flexibility to make future issues of equity securities up to the 15% limit and raise approximately $379,000 before issue costs.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the 8,813,953 Shares under the Placement.
ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
The following information is provided in relation Resolution 2, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) 8,813,953 fully paid ordinary shares will be issued to existing professional and sophisticated investors including Datt Capital, Graeme Kirke and Zhongming Hong (or their nominees) who are not related parties of the Company;
-
(b) the total number of fully paid ordinary shares proposed to be issued will be 8,813,953;
-
(c) the date by which the Company will issue the securities will be no later than three (3) months after the date of this Meeting (or such later date as may be approved by ASX). The Company however expects to issue the shares on or around 19 March 2021 (subject to the receipt of cleared funds);
-
(d) the issue price of the Shares will be $0.043 (4.3 cents);
-
(e) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used towards further geophysics and drilling at the Company’s East Tennant and Canobie Copper-Gold projects in addition to other general working capital requirements; and
-
(f) refer to note 6 for voting exclusions on this Resolution.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
