The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to Article 13.4 of the Company's Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders.
Mr Burton, having been appointed by other Directors on 6 February 2023, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and being eligible, seek election from Shareholders.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

3.3 Independence
The Board considers Mr Paul Burton to not be an independent Director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Directors, except Mr Burton, who has an interest in the Resolution, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3.
The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO PAUL BURTON
4.1 General
As a condition to Mr Burton's appointment as Managing Director, the Board agreed to issue him (and/or his nominee) with 30,000,000 options to acquire Fully Paid Shares upon the terms set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement, exercisable at a price which is now known to be 1.8716 cents ($0.018716) each, expiring on a date which is the earlier of two years from their date of issue, or date of cessation of his employment. The options are subject to vesting conditions which are detailed in Annexure "A". The Company considers that offering incentive options is appropriate to attract and retain the right calibre of professionals to the Company with the appropriate mindset for a junior explorer. Equity-based incentives/remuneration help align the interests of employees/contractors with shareholders in that the employees/contractors thereby have a vested interest in seeing the delivery of value to shareholders through share price appreciation.

Upon the milestone's being achieved and the resulting payment of the exercise price being made, the resultant Fully Paid Shares shall rank equally with the Shares currently quoted as ASX:SRN.
$561,480 will be raised by the Company upon, and in the event that all the Options are exercised.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – related party transactions
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
- (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
- (b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
Resolution 4 provides for the grant of Options to a related party which is a financial benefit requiring Shareholder approval unless an exemption from the requirement for such approval applies. For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.
The related party to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options the subject of Resolution 4 will be granted to Mr Burton (or his nominee/s), within one month of the passing of the Resolutions. Mr Burton is a Director of the Company and is therefore classified as related parties.
The nature of, reasons for, and basis for the financial benefit
The proposed financial benefit is the grant of 30,000,000 Options to Mr Burton or his nominee/s, for no issue price. Each Option will allow Mr Burton to subscribe for one Fully Paid Share in the Company. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.018716 per share and are expected to expire on 1 December 2025.
The Options will form part of Mr Burton's remuneration for services as the Company's managing director and constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Options are considered to be an appropriate incentive given the Company's current size and stage of development, being an exploration company with limited cash reserves. If Mr Burton is to derive any intrinsic value from the exercise of the Options, the market price of SRN Shares must firstly be in excess of the milestones set in the terms and conditions detailed in Annexure A and also be in excess of the exercise price, being $0.018716 per share. The Options represent an incentive to Mr Burton to get the fully paid ASX:SRN share price up, not just to the level of the exercise price but well above that price in order that the Options will be deep in the money so that they can realise a significant gain from the disposal of their interests in the Options, thus aligning their personal interests with those of other Shareholders.
Any other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its officers
- (a) Resolution 4, if passed, will have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant 30,000,000 Options to Mr Burton, or his respective nominee/s and the Option issue will be excluded in calculating SRN'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 Option issue Date.
- (b) If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be authorised to issue the Options.
- (c) The exercise of the Options is subject to the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement and as otherwise mentioned above.
- (d) The Directors have valued the Options using the Australian Accounting Standards approved Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model.
- (e) The total (indicative) value of the Options is outlined in Table 1. If Options granted to Mr Burton, or his nominees, are exercised, the effect would be to dilute the Shareholdings of the other Shareholders.

| Mr Paul BurtonManaging Director | 30,000,000 | $0.018716 | Expected tobe1.12.2025 | In accordance with thevesting conditions detailedin clause 10 of Annexure A | $102,000 |
Note (i) - Option Valuation Inputs
| Details | Inputs |
|---|---|
| Share price for underlying fully paid ordinary Shares – closing price on 24 October 2023 | $0.0136 |
| Exercise price | $0.018716 |
| Risk free rate | 4.236 |
| Volatility | 76% |
| Start date | 1 December 2023 |
| Expiry date | 30 November 2025 |
| Discount factor attributed to non-tradability, vesting milestones | 25% |
| Value per Option | $0.0034 |
This valuation may not be the final value for accounting purposes but is based on assumptions detailed above and subject to audit by the Company's auditors.
Applying the valuation methodology prescribed by the employee share scheme provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act, the Options have minimal value. The Company believes that the employee share scheme provisions of Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) will be applicable to the Options.
(f) As at the date of this Notice, the issued capital of the Company comprised 1,654,934,906 FP Shares and 258,785,323 partly-paid Shares. If all Options granted as proposed above are exercised, and assuming no other equity issues, the effect will be to dilute the Shareholding of existing fully paid Shareholders as per the table below:
| Current FP Shares on issue | 1,654,934,906 |
|---|---|
| Proposed issue of FP Shares upon exercising of Options to begranted to Mr Burton | 30,000,000 |
| Expanded FP Shares | 1,684,934,906 |
| Dilutionary effect | 1.8% |
Mr Burton's current relevant interest in securities of the Company comprises 9,667,191 Fully Paid Shares.
(g) Whilst the fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company are traded on ASX, there is no agreement to list the Options on ASX.
(h) Subject to the vesting conditions of the executive options being satisfied, the Options to acquire Fully Paid Shares can be converted to Fully Paid Shares by the payment of 0.018716 cents ($0.018716) each. The market price of the Company's Shares during the term of the Options will normally determine whether or not the Option holder exercises the Options. It is probable that the Options will only be exercised if the vesting conditions are satisfied and the price at which FP Shares are trading exceeds variously, and in accordance with those vesting conditions, 50% uplift ($0.02246), 100% uplift ($0.029946) and 200% uplift ($0444919).

- (i) Mr Burton currently receives annual managing director's fees of $300,000, plus statutory superannuation entitlements.
- (j) The Options will be issued as remuneration for the provision of managing directorial services.
- (k) Under the Australian equivalent of IFRS, the Company is required to expense the value of the Options in its profit or loss for the current financial year. Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors do not consider, from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company, in granting the Options to Mr Burton or his nominee/s pursuant to Resolution 4 EXCEPT FOR the cost of foregoing the opportunity to issue the Options for cash and the downstream potential to dilute the capital structure of the Company.
- (l) Save as set out herein, neither the Company nor any of the Directors is aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders for them to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by this Resolution 4.
4.3 ASXLR 10.11 and 10.13
Unless an exception detailed in ASXLR 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any persons as detailed in ASXLR 10.11.1 to 10.11.5 inclusive without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities. No such exception applies and SRN has agreed to issue Options to Mr Burton as a director (being a related party, and to associates, as defined) subject to receiving Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and is detailed hereunder:
- (a) the Options will be issued to Mr Burton (or his nominee/s).
- (b) the issues will be made to a related party or an associate of that person;
- (c) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 30,000,000;
- (d) the Options are to acquire Fully Paid Shares with $0.018716 each being payable upon exercise and they are expected to expire on or about 1 December 2025 and otherwise on the terms and conditions outlined in Annexure A;
- (e) the Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow) but are expected to be issued on the day after approval being granted at the Meeting;
- (f) the Options will be issued for no consideration;
- (g) Mr Burton currently receives annual managing director's fees of $300,000, plus statutory superannuation entitlements.
- (h) the purpose of the issue to Directors is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide an incentive and motivate the contribution of special exertion without routine claims to be paid in cash for the same;
- (i) the person to be issued with the Options is a director and therefore classified as a related party under ASXLR 10.11.1 and/or associates of that person as defined in ASXLR 10.11.4 or 10.14.5;
- (j) the Options will be issued pursuant to an approval being given at this meeting; and
- (k) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.3 Directors Recommendation
All Directors, except Mr Burton, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Mr Burton does not make a recommendation about Resolution 4 as he will receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.
The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
5.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital.
Accordingly, the effect of Resolution 5, if passed, will be to allow the Company to issue that number of Equity Securities that is equal to 10% of the number of Shares that are on issue during the period ending on the date that is 12 months after the Meeting (Additional Placement Capacity), in addition to the 15% permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without subsequent Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the total number of Equity Securities the Company may issue pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 5.2 below).
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 1,654,934,906 fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. The Company currently has the remaining capacity to issue 244,668,806 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 165,493,490 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will have the new capacity to issue 165,493,490 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A once the existing approved capacity expires on 21 November 2023.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
Set out below is more background information on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the specific disclosures required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.
5.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek Shareholder approval by special resolution at its annual general meeting to have the Additional Placement Capacity.
An entity will be an "Eligible Entity" if, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting, the relevant entity:
a) is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index; and
b) has a maximum market capitalization (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $23 million.
Pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company may only issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the class of the Company's Equity Securities that are quoted on ASX are Shares (ASX:SRN).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E Where:
- A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at commencement of the relevant period:
- (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
- (ii) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where;

-
- the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
- the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
- (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where;
-

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, being listed fully paid Shares (ASX:SRN), and unlisted partly-paid Shares.
5.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company provides the following information:
(a) Minimum Issue Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
- (ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the above date, the date on which the securities are issued.
- (b) Date of Issue
Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting an expiring on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
- (ii) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
- (iii) The date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under the ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid), (Additional Placement Capacity Period).
- (c) Risk of Voting Dilution
If Equity Securities are issued pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:
- (i) the market price for Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (i.e. the date of Meeting, if Resolution 5 is passed); and
- (ii) Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The Board is of the view that the Scenarios 2 and 3 are unlikely to arise, however certain aspects of these scenarios are specifically required to be set out by the ASX Listing Rules and are therefore included as per those rules. Accordingly, the assumptions below are hypothetical and should not be viewed as an indication as to future issue prices, the performance of the Company's Share price or the number of shares on issue.
The table assumes differing numbers of Shares on issue (i.e. variable "A" in the above formula) and issue prices for Shares over three scenarios, but in each scenario, it is assumed that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the Additional Placement Capacity. For example:
- (i) Variable "A" differs across each scenario. Scenario 1 assumes there is no change to the number of Shares on issue. Scenarios 2 and 3 then assume an increase of 50% and 100% (respectively) to the number of Shares on issue. There may be an increase in the number of Shares on issue as a result of issues that do not require Shareholder approval (i.e. a pro rata entitlement offer).
- (ii) Within each scenario, three different issue prices for the Shares are assumed. One of the issue prices is the closing Share price on 24 October 2023 (being the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this Notice). The other two issue prices then assume a 50% decrease to that closing Share price and a 100% increase to that price.
| Dilution | |||||

| Number of Shares onissue | Issue Price perShare | $0.007 | $0.014 | $0.028 | |
| ("A" in ASX Listing Rule7.1A.2) | 50% decrease inIssue Price | Issue Price(i.e. closing priceon 24 October2023) | 100% increase inIssue Price | ||

| 2,482,402,358 FP Shares | Funds raised | $1,737,682 | $3,475,363 | $6,950,727 | |

| 3,309,869,811 FP Shares | Funds raised | $2,316,909 | $4,633,818 | $9,267,635 |
The scenario-analysis in the above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- (i) There are currently 1,654,934,906 fully paid ordinary Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
- (ii) The issue price set out in the fourth column above is the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 24 October 2023 (being the last practicable trading date prior to the date of this Notice).
- (iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity.
- (iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

- (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
- (vi) Other than as indicated in the table, the Company does not issue any additional Shares during the Additional Placement Capacity period.
- (vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
- (viii) No Options are exercised or Partly-Paid Shares converted into Fully Paid Shares during the Additional Placement Capacity Period and before the date of the issue of the Shares.
- (ix) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
- (d) Purpose of Issue under Additional Placement Capacity
The issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can only be made for cash consideration. The purpose of any issue would be set out for Shareholders at the time of such an issue. However, in general terms, the Company could issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity to raise cash to fund the Company's forward exploration and development work programs, for general working capital expenses, or acquiring new assets (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).
(e) Allocation Policy under the Additional Placement Capacity
The identity of places for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.
Accordingly, the recipients of any Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the Additional Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
- i) The purpose of the issue;
- ii) Alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at the time, including, but not limited to, a pro-rata entitlement offer or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
- iii) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- iv) The circumstances of the Company, including, but limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
- v) Prevailing market conditions; and
- vi) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
- (f) Previous Approval Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting.
(g) Proposed Issue of Equity Securities
At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. As such, no voting exclusion statement is required for this Notice.

5.4 Directors' Recommendation
Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, all of the Directors consider that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in its favour. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide greater flexibility when considering future capital raising opportunities. The passing of this Resolution will increase the Directors' ability to issue new Shares permitted by the Listing Rules without requiring Shareholder approval.
This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
