3. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

==> picture [19 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

General

On 28 October 2020, the Company announced a placement to raise $2.4m (before costs) through the issue of 10,909,091 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.22 per Placement Share ( Placement ).

10,909,089 Placement Shares were issued in total on 2 November 2020. 8,793,795 Placement Shares were pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 2,115,294 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2).

The Placement Shares were not placed with any Related Parties of the Company nor any of their associates.

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

==> picture [20 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions which are contained in Listing Rule 7.2 (which do not apply in the circumstance of this Resolution), 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 period. The Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 issue date.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which the Shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

==> picture [20 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

ASX 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

7

SLZ - Notice of General Meeting November 2020 (FINAL 6 Nov 2020)

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

==> picture [21 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the Placement Shares under Resolutions 1 and 2 (in respect of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A):

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to investors who qualify under section 708 of the Corporations Act and can receive securities from the Company without the need for such securities to be issued under a disclosure document. None of these subscribers are Related Parties of the Company;

  • (b) a total of 10,909,089 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 8,793,795 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1);

  • (ii) 2,115,294 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued on 2 November 2020;

  • (e) the issue price was $0.22 per Placement Share;

  • (f) the purpose of the Placement was to raise $2.4m (before costs) to:

  • (i) support drilling of the Company’s two main prospects in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW (Tucklan Epithermal Gold Target and Big Hill Copper-Gold Porphyry target);

  • (ii) advance the Lake Grace Project in WA; and

  • (iii) augment working capital;

  • (g) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and

8

SLZ - Notice of General Meeting November 2020 (FINAL 6 Nov 2020)

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice, which precludes any persons who participated in the issue Placement Shares and their associates from voting on Resolutions 1 and 2.

The Directors of the Company believe Resolutions 1 and 2 are in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. Grant of Management Options to Existing Directors

==> picture [19 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

General

The Company is proposing to issue a total of 1,800,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.33 expiring on the date that is two years from the date of issue on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 ( Management Options ) to existing directors Jeremy King, Steve Groves and David Lees ( Directors ) as follows:

Resolution 3(a) 1,000,000 Management Options to Jeremy King (and/or his nominee); Resolution 3(b) 400,000 Management Options to Steve Groves ( and/or his nominee ) ; and Resolution 3(c) 400,000 Management Options to David Lees (and/or his nominee).

The issue of the Management Options is viewed as a cost effective and efficient way to incentivise and reward the Directors particularly in relation to additional work performed beyond the normal duties expected for a typical non-executive director.

==> picture [20 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 228(6) of the Corporations Act states that a person is a related party of a company if the company believes, or has reasonable grounds to believe, that the person is likely to become a related party.

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 issue of the Management Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As it is proposed that Management Options be granted to all of the Directors, the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the Management Options.

9

SLZ - Notice of General Meeting November 2020 (FINAL 6 Nov 2020)

==> picture [20 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a ‘material personal interest’ are being considered.

The Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3(a)-3(c) (as applicable). The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Management Options to Shareholders to resolve upon.

==> picture [21 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

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) a related party;

  • (b) 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) 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) an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) 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.

The proposed issue of Management Options requires approval by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 as the recipients of the Management Options are Directors of the Company and no Listing Rule 10.12 exceptions apply.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, as Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

If Resolutions 3(a) – (c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Management Options.

If any of Resolutions 3(a) – (c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to issue any of the Management Options and may consider alternative forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.

==> picture [21 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

SLZ - Notice of General Meeting November 2020 (FINAL 6 Nov 2020)

  • (ii) the Directors current remuneration package is set out in paragraph (x) below;

  • (iii) the terms and conditions of the Management Options to be issued are set out in Schedule 2;

  • (iv) the primary purpose of the grant of the Management Options to the Directors is to incentivise and reward the Directors particularly in relation to additional work performed beyond the normal duties expected for a typical director;

  • (v) the Management Options have been valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model as set out in Schedule 3, which attributes a value of $0.093 per Management Option, being a total value of $167,624 for the 1,800,000 Management Options to be issued under Resolutions 3(a) – (c);

  • (vi) the Management Options will be granted to the Directors (or their respective nominees) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Management Options will be issued on one date;

  • (vii) the Management Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised from their issue;

  • (viii) there is no loan being offered to the Directors in respect of the issue of the Management Options;

  • (ix) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 3 of the Notice;

  • (x) the Company notes that the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Directors for the previous financial year and the current remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year (inclusive of superannuation) are as set out below:

Director FY 2020

11

SLZ - Notice of General Meeting November 2020 (FINAL 6 Nov 2020)

Name Shares Options*
Jeremy King 700,144 1,000,000
Steve Groves 150,000 400,000
David Lees 1,166,868 400,000

* Comprised of Management Options proposed to be issued under Resolution 3

  • (xiii) if the Management Options are exercised and converted into Shares, a total of 1,800,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 69,534,389 (being the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice) to 71,334,389 (assuming that no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.52%.

  • (xiv) The market price for Shares during the term of the Management Options would normally determine whether or not the Management Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Management Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Management Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (xv) the highest and lowest closing prices of Shares on ASX during the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice, and the closing price on the trading day before the date of this Notice, are set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.29 22 October 2020
Lowest $0.057 11 December
2019
Last $0.23] 3 November 2020
  • (xvi) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Management Options to Jeremy King and David Lees is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4[th] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the issue of the Management Options is reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in Section (xviii) below;

  • (xvii) Mr King declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3(a) due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (and/or his nominees) is to be issued the Management Options should Resolution 3(a) be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3(b) and2 (c), Mr King recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Management Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Management Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given; and

12
