EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is included in and forms part of the Notice of Meeting. It contains background information pertaining to the Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting as well as information required to be given to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in relation to the Resolutions.

It is given to Shareholders to help them determine how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full and in conjunction with the other sections of this Document, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Resolutions proposed in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in doubt about what to do in relation to a Resolution, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF NOVEMBER 2021 PLACEMENT SHARES

1.1 Background

On 8 November 2021, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 160,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.075 to raise total funds of $12 million (before costs) (November 2021 Placement) to institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors.

The Company received the support of its Directors in the November 2021 Placement, and the issue of these shares to Directors will be subject to shareholder approval under Resolutions 2 and 3 of this Notice.

The November 2021 Placement was Lead Managed by Canaccord Genuity (Lead Manager) and was supported by JP Equity Partners.

The 157,000,000 Shares issued under the November 2021 Placement to Sophisticated Investors who are not directors or related parties of the Company were issued using the Company's capacity under ASX Listing rule 7.1. The issue of these New Shares occurred on 13 November 2021. The Company now seeks shareholder approval to ratify the issue of these Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4

1.2 Subsequent approval of an issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5

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 7.4 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.

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, 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.

Listing Rule 7.4 stipulates that an issue of Equity Securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with it is subsequently approved by Shareholders.

10. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHORTFALL SHARES UNDER THE SPP

10.1 Background

On 11 August 2022, The Company announced it would offer existing eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan to raise up to A$3 million (SPP Offer).

Under the SPP Offer, eligible Strickland shareholders, being shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on Strickland's register as at 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 10 August 2022, will have the opportunity to apply for up to A$30,000 of New Shares without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

New Shares under the SPP will issued at the same price as shares in the August 2022 Placement (SPP Issue Price).

The SPP offer period opened on Thursday, 18 August 2022 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Friday, 9 September 2022.

If the SPP raises more than A$3 million, Strickland may decide in its absolute discretion to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more than $3 million.

In the event that less than $3million is applied for under the SPP by Eligible Shareholders, the Directors will seek to place that number of Shares at the SPP Issue Price to raise $3million when combined with the amount raised under the SPP (Shortfall Offer).

The maximum amount raised under the Shortfall Offer will be $3million less the amount raised under the SPP Offer. Assuming no funds are raised under the SPP, the maximum number of Shares that will be issued under the Shortfall Offer is 60,000,000 at the SPP Issue Price to raise a maximum of $3million.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval under this Resolution to issue 60,000,000 Shares to unrelated institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

10.2 Requirement for Shareholder Approval

Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of securities in the Company where such issue may exceed the 15% Threshold. Further, Listing Rule 7.1 allows a company to maintain its capacity to issue securities under the 15% Threshold where it obtains shareholder approval prior to issuing securities.

Shareholder approval of an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.1 enables the Company capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold, without additional Shareholder approval (but still subject to any other approval required under the Listing Rules).

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5 provides that a company can issue shares pursuant to a share purchase plan in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 provided:

  • (a) The number of securities to be issued is not greater than 30% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities already on issue; and
  • (b) The issue price of the securities is at least 80% of the VWAP for securities in that class, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded, either before the day on which the issue was announced or before the day on which the issue was made.

Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer are not covered by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 15 and therefore the issue of those Shares must be made with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (or out of the Company's 15% or 10% annual placement capacity that can be made without prior Shareholder approval).

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares under the Shortfall Offer during the period of 3 months after the Meeting, without using the Company's 15% or 10% placement capacity.

Therefore, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval, under Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of 60,000,000 Shares to unrelated institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors.

Should this Resolution not be approved, the currently will need to consider issuing the Shares using its available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, and if it has no capacity, then it will not be able to issue the Shares under the Shortfall Offer.

10.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information in relation to the Shares the subject of this Resolution is provided:

(a) Maximum number of securities to be issued

60,000,000 Shares.

(b) Date of issue

The Company will issue the Shares the subject of this Resolution by the date which is no later than three months from the date of the meeting.

(c) Issue price and terms of issue

The issue price of the Shares will be $0.05 per Share (the same price as the August 2022 Placement). The Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, and will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.

(d) Persons to whom securities will be issued

The Shares which are the subject of this Resolution will be issued to institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors whom participated in the Placement and whom are not Related Parties of the Company.

(e) Use of funds

The funds raised under the SPP Offer and Shortfall Offer will be the same as those raised under the August 2022 Placement, and underpin exploration and drilling programs at the Company's Millrose Gold Project.

Other use of funds include:

  • Continuation of exploration drilling at the Iroquois Zn-Pb discovery in the Earaheedy Basin;
  • Costs associated with the Placement and SPP Offer; and
  • A portion of the Company's working capital needs.

(f) Material Terms of an agreement to which securities were issued

The Shares will not be issued pursuant to an agreement. The Shares will only be issued as part of the Shortfall Offer to Sophisticated Investors, professional and institutional investors determined by the Company.
