2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
Section 250R of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
Pursuant to Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the Company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
2.3
Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting. If at least 25% of the votes are cast against the Remuneration Report at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if the same occurs at the 2019 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
2.4 Chairperson's intentions
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though the Resolution is
7
connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR STEPHEN LOWE
Article 7.4(c) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number), but if the Company has less than 3 Directors, one Director must retire at each annual general meeting.
Article 7.4(f) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 7.4(c) is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has five Directors. One of these Directors, Mr Mark Thompson, is the Managing Director. Accordingly, one of the other four Directors must retire. Article 7.4(e) of the Constitution provides that the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
Pursuant to these Articles, Mr Stephen Lowe, the longest serving Director without re-election by Shareholders, will retire by rotation and, being eligible, will seek re-election at this Meeting.
Mr Lowe is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and was first appointed on 17 December 2015. Mr Lowe was last re-elected by Shareholders at the Company's 2016 annual general meeting held on 25 November 2016.
Mr Lowe’s background is in business management and taxation and he has over 18 years’ experience consulting to a range of corporate and high wealth clients. Mr Lowe was previously the Chairman of Sirius Resources and is currently a non-executive director of Coziron Resources Ltd. Mr Lowe is a Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia and a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Mr Lowe is considered to be an independent Director.
The Board (excluding Mr Lowe) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

8

5. RESOLUTION 4 – AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
5.1 General
The Company is currently governed by its existing Constitution which was adopted by Shareholders on 27 November 2014.
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company can modify its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend Article 10.1 of the Constitution by a special resolution of shareholders as set out in section 5.2 below.
9
A copy of the amended constitution will be sent to Shareholders on request and will also be available for inspection at the office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Annual General Meeting.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 4 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 Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
5.2 Proposed amendment
It is proposed that Article 10.1 of the Constitution be amended to enable the Directors to pass written resolutions without certain Directors who have been given a leave of absence. The effect of this amendment will be to enable Directors to effect the business of the Company by written resolutions without all Director necessarily being present to authorise the resolution.
Currently, Article 10.1 of the Constitution states the following:
" The Directors may pass a resolution without a meeting of the Directors being held if all of the Directors entitled to vote on the resolution assent to a document containing a statement that they are in favour of the resolution set out in the document ".
It is proposed that Article 10.1 of the Constitution be amended to state the following:
" The Directors may pass a resolution without a meeting of the Directors being held if all of the Directors entitled to vote on the resolution, except for any Directors who have been given a leave of absence, assent to a document containing a statement that they are in favour of the resolution set out in the document ".
5.3 Effective date
Pursuant to section 137(a) of the Corporations Act, the amendment is effective on the date on which the resolution is passed if it specifies no later date.
No later date is specified in this Resolution 4, accordingly, the amendment is effective on and from the date the Resolution is passed.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
6.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).
10
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Resolution 5 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 Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two quoted class of Equity Securities, Shares and Options.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that "A" has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D
is 10%.
E
is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
11
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same 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 Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
6.3 Effect of Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, then, In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
12
(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the date the Company agrees to issue the Equity Securities,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows:
-
(i) the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities (being variable "A" as calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice);
-
(ii) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(iii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:
- The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The issue price is $0.44 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 October 2018.
(c) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
(d) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
(i) cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised, towards further business growth and development including feasibility studies,
14
exploration, product development and commercialisation activities, payment of suppliers or service providers, and working capital requirements; or
- (ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, or services. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required under Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new projects, assets or investments.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
During the 12 months preceding the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 15,010,237 Equity Securities (being 15,010,237 Shares and nil unquoted Options) and this represents approximately 5.35% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting are in the table in Schedule 1.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
