The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary to this document.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice of Meeting, please contact the Company Secretary, your accountant, solicitor, stockbroker or other professional adviser before voting.

1. BACKGROUND

As announced to ASX on 28 January 2025, the Company proposes to undertake a merger with Aston Minerals Limited ( Aston ) by way of schemes of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act whereby the Company will acquire 100% of the shares and certain options in Aston ( Schemes ).

In connection with the Schemes, the Company has undertaken a placement to raise $1,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of 20,000,000 Shares with 20,000,000 free-attaching Options ( Placement ). The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.05 per Share ( Placement Shares ) and for every Placement Share subscribed in the Placement, one (1) free attaching option was received, exercisable at $0.10 each and expiring 5 years from the date of issue ( Placement Options ) (together, Placement Securities ).

The Placement Securities were issued to Kingslane Pty Ltd and an entity related to proposed Director Tolga Kumova.[1] These entities were the sole participants in the Placement and whom each contributed $500,000 for the Placement Securities ( Placement Participants ).

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES UNDER THE PLACEMENT

The Placement Securities were issued on 11 February 2025 using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options, respectively, that were issued to the Placement Participants without Shareholder approval using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (as applicable).

2.1 Regulatory Requirements

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.

Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A provide that, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% (under Listing Rule 7.1) and an additional 10% (under Listing Rule 7.1A) of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issues effectively use up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable) for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

1 It is proposed that Tolga Kumova will be appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on implementation of the Schemes.

9

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) or Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The Company confirms that in issuing the Placement Securities, the Company did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Accordingly, under Resolution 1, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issue of 20,000,000 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.4. Under Resolution 2, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issue of 20,000,000 Placement Options under Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Options 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 date of issue of the Placement Options.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) Identity of the persons to whom securities were issued

The Placement Securities were issued to the Placement Participants. At the time of issue none of the Placement Participants were a related party of the Company or material investor.[2]

The Company notes that on implementation of the Schemes, Mr Kumova will have 36,842,768 Shares, equating to approximately 7.10% of the total number of Shares on issue.

  • (b) The number and class of securities issued or agreed to issue

  • 20,000,000 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the ratification of which is the subject of Resolution 1.

  • (c) A summary of the material terms of the securities

The Placement Shares 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.

2 ASX consider the following to be material investors:

  • (i). a related party of the entity;

(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or

(v). an associate of any of the above, where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.

10

The Placement Options are unlisted options, exercisable at $0.10 each and will expire 5 years from the date of issue, being 11 February 2030. A summary of the material terms of the Placement Options is set out in Schedule 1.

(d) Issue date

The exercise price is $0.10 per Placement Option.

(f) Purpose of the issue

The funds raised via the Placement will be primarily applied to towards transaction costs of the Schemes, exploration expenses and general working capital.[3]

(g) Relevant agreement

The Placement Securities were issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement the material terms of which is set out in Schedule 2.

  • (h) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 1 and 2 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

2.3 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO EVAN CRANSTON

Evan Cranston was appointed as Non-Executive Director of the Company on 28 January 2025. In connection with his appointment, Mr Cranston was issued 15,000,000 options exercisable a $0.15 and expiring on 31 January 2030 ( Cranston Options ).

The Cranston Options were issued on 28 January 2025 using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. On the basis that the Company had agreed to issue the Cranston Options to Mr Cranston prior to, but relating to, his appointment as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 12 applied to the issue of the Cranston Options. Accordingly, the Cranston Options were issued without Shareholder approval, using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Cranston Options

3.1 Regulatory Requirements

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.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

3 See TOR ASX Announcement dated 28.01.25 “Growth-Focused Explorer - TOR and ASO to Merge” for further information.

11

The issue of the Cranston Options does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issue effectively use 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 date of issue of the Cranston Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company confirms that in issuing the Cranston Options, the Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

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. Accordingly, under Resolution 3, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issue of 15,000,000 Cranston Options under Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Cranston Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Cranston Options.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Cranston Options 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 date of issue of the Cranston Options.

3.3 Board Recommendation

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE DIRECTOR INCENTIVE OPTIONS

4.1 Background to Resolutions 4 to 6

Shareholders are being asked to approve Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) to issue incentive options to the Directors Cristian Moreno, Andrew Woskett and proposed Director Tolga Kumova ( Director Incentive Options ) as set out below.

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 45,000,000 Director Incentive Options to certain Directors (or their respective nominees) and a proposed Director (or his nominee) conditional on implementation of the Schemes.

The key terms and conditions of the Director Incentive Options are summarised in Schedule 3.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Tolga Kumova is not yet a Director, however it is proposed that he will be appointed to Non-Executive Director on implementation of the Schemes and subject to implementation of the Schemes, will be a Director at the time of issue of the Director Incentive Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought to issue the Director Incentive Options to Tolga Kumova.

If the Schemes do not proceed, the Director Incentive Options will not be issued to any of the Directors, including Mr Kumova.

4.2 Regulatory Requirements

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval in order to comply with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.11.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

(Listing Rule 10.11.1) a related party; (Listing Rule 10.11.2) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;

(Listing Rule 10.11.3) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (in the case of a trust, to the board of the responsible entity of the trust) pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

(Listing Rule 10.11.4) an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or (Listing Rule 10.11.5) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by security holders.

The Directors (including Mr Kumova who is proposed to be a Director at the time of issue) are related parties of the Company. Accordingly, Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Director Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If any of Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) are passed, subject to implementation of the Schemes, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Incentive Options to the Director (or proposed Director) the subject of the relevant Resolution which is passed.

If any of Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Incentive Options to the Director (or proposed Director) the subject of the relevant

13

Resolution which is not passed. In such a scenario, the Company may consider remunerating the Director (or proposed Director) with cash payments as an alternative which will mean less cash for the Company to direct towards is projects and working capital.

In any event, regardless of the outcome of any of Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) if the Schemes are not implemented, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Director Incentive Options to any of the Directors or Mr Kumova.

Each of Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) are not dependent on the other Resolutions being passed.

4.5 Section 195(4) Corporations Act

Directors, Moreno and Woskett and proposed Director Kumova, have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 (as applicable to each Director and proposed Director) in this Notice of Meeting by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 4 to 6 are concerned with the issue of the Director Incentive Options to them.

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered.

In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

4.6 Section 208 Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

15

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the company. As such, the Directors of the Company are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

The issue of the Director Incentive Options under Resolutions 4 to 6 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

In compliance with the information requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised of the information below. Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 4 to 6.

(a) Identity of the related parties to whom Resolutions permit financial benefits to be given

The Director Incentive Options are proposed to be issued to the Directors, Moreno and Woskett, who are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Director Incentive Options are also proposed to be issued to Tolga Kumova, who is proposed to be appointed a Director following implementation of the Schemes and as such, will be a Director at the time of issue.

(b) Nature of the financial benefit

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue a total of 45,000,000 Director Incentive Options to Messrs Moreno, Woskett, and Kumova.

Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Statement sets out the key terms and conditions of the Director Incentive Options.

The Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Director Incentive Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.

The issue of Director Incentive Options can be considered as a cost effective and efficient means to provide incentive to its personnel as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure and retain employees and Directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The issue of the Director Incentive Options is consistent with this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

(c) Valuation of financial benefit

The indicative fair value of the Director Incentive Options totals $2,861,001 (being $0.64 per Director Incentive Option) based on the Black-Scholes methodology prepared by internal management. The indicative fair value of the Director Incentive Options on a per person basis is $953,667. Please see Schedule 4 for further information.

(d) Dilution

If all of the Director Incentive Options are exercised, the effect will be to dilute the holdings of Shares of other Shareholders. The issue of the Director Incentive Options in Resolutions 4 to 6 will in aggregate be equal to approximately 9.87% of the Company’s diluted Share capital at the date of this Notice in the event that all of the Director Incentive Options pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 6 are issued and exercised, resulting in a total of 45,000,000 Shares on issue.

STEP 1 – APPOINT A PROXY

If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
