4. Resolution 1 – Issue of Vendor Consideration Shares

4.1 General

The Company has entered into the Term Sheet described above in Section 3 and Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of ten million (10,000,000) Consideration Shares to the Vendors.

The Consideration Shares are fully paid ordinary shares issued as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of the Projects, via Colossus Metals pursuant to the Term Sheet.

4.2

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Consideration Shares ( Consideration Shares Issue ) does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the Consideration Shares Issue does not exceed the 15% limited in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the Consideration Shares Issue under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

5

To this end, Resolution 1 seeks approval to issue the Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consideration Shares Issue can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Acquisition and the Company will not acquire the Projects.

4.3 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 the Consideration Shares:

  • (a) the Consideration Shares will be issued to the Vendors, who are not related parties of the Company (refer to section 3.2 for further details, and identity of the Vendors in Schedule 2);

  • (b) ten million (10,000,000) Consideration Shares will be issued, which are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (c) the Consideration Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of the of Consideration Shares will occur in one tranche on the date of Settlement of the Acquisition;

  • (d) the deemed issue price of the Consideration Shares is $0.075 per Share, however the Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they are issued for part consideration in respect of the Company’s acquisition of Colossus Metals;

  • (e) the Consideration Shares are to be issued for the purpose of part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Colossus Metals;

  • (f) the material terms of the Term Sheet under which the Consideration Shares are issued are set out in Section 3.3; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice.

5. Resolution 2 – Issue of Facilitation Shares

5.1 General

The Company has entered into the Term Sheet described in Section 3 above, and as part of the Acquisition, has agreed to issue one million (1,000,000) Facilitation Shares to Xcel Capital and Arq Capital (and/or their nominees) for their services in facilitating the Acquisition ( Facilitation Shares ).

The Facilitation Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to be issued in consideration for the Facilitators services in identifying the Projects for acquisition, consideration of the Projects as a commercial opportunity for the Company and for assisting the Company to negotiate the terms of the Acquisition.

The Facilitation Fees were assessed by the Company through a consideration of the quality of the Projects in particular the region that the Projects are located in and the fact that the fees are non-cash and success based.

6

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 3.5 above.

The issue of the Facilitation Shares ( Facilitation Shares Issue ) does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the Facilitation Shares Issue does not exceed the 15% limited in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the Facilitation Shares Issue under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 2 seeks approval to issue the Facilitation Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Facilitation Shares Issue can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If either Resolution 1 or 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Acquisition and the Company will not acquire the Projects.
