3. Background

3.1 Placement

On 30 August 2023, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement of new Shares to be issued in the form of CDIs to raise approximately $3.8 million (before costs) at $0.12 per Share/CDI to be issued by the Company ( Placement ). The Placement is divided into two tranches as follows:

  • (a) the first tranche of the Placement comprises 15,329,849 Shares to be issued in the form of CDIs to institutional and sophisticated investors, which were issued on 6 September 2023 (utilising the Company's placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) ( Tranche 1 Placement ); and

  • (b) the second tranche of the Placement comprises up to a further 16,336,818 Shares to be issued in the form of CDIs to other institutional and sophisticated investors and certain Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)), subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to the Notice) ( Tranche 2 Placement ).

The investors who have participated, or will be participating in, the Placement include various institutional and sophisticated investors identified by the joint lead managers for the Placement, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) and Bell Potter Securities Limited (ACN 006 390 772).

Under the Tranche 2 Placement, certain Directors of the Company propose to subscribe for, in aggregate, up to 2,916,667 Shares in the form of CDIs ( Director Shares ). Resolutions 3 to 6 (inclusive)

P a g e | 5

seek Shareholder approval for certain Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement.

In addition, Treasury Services Group Pty Ltd ATF Nero Resource Fund, an existing substantial holder in the Company, invested $333,963.48, comprising 2,783,029 Shares in the form of CDIs, under the Tranche 1 Placement and propose to invest $266,036.64, comprising 2,216,972 Shares in the form of CDIs, under the Tranche 2 Placement.

Refer to the Company's ASX announcements on, and after, 30 August 2023 for further details of the Placement. Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) seek the Shareholders' ratification or approval (as applicable) of the issue or proposed issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement. Each of those Resolutions concerns a different component of the Placement. 3.2 Indicative Use of Funds Proceeds from the Placement are indicatively intended to be applied to: (a) completing an optimized Definitive Feasibility Study for the Kobada Gold Project, a large-scale oxide gold development project; (b) inferred resource conversion RC drilling at Kobada Main deposit; (c) select regional explorational drilling at high priority targets; and (d) general working capital and transaction costs. The Board reserves the right to reallocate funds for alternative purposes, as may be deemed necessary by the Board. 3.3 Resolutions are not inter-conditional None of the Resolutions are conditional upon any other Resolution being passed. To the extent any of the Resolutions is not passed, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules, the Board reserves its discretion to issue the Shares the subject of such Resolution, including pursuant to the Company's placement capacities available at the time under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.1A. The Board also reserves its discretion to utilise those placement capacities for other purposes, as permitted by the Listing Rules. 4. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 4.1 Background As detailed in Section 3.1, the Company has issued 15,329,849 Shares in the form of CDIs at an issue price of $0.12 per Share under the Tranche 1 Placement ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ). Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement. All 15,329,849 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 6 September 2023 without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of the 15,329,849 Tranche 1 Placement Shares (pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1). Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. 4.2 Listing Rule 7.4 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ). The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions, and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up all of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity 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 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

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 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, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval for the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity 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 of the

P a g e | 6

Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity 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 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) 15,329,849 Shares in the form of CDIs were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors as detailed in Section 3.1 under the Tranche 1 Placement. None of the recipients were related parties of the Company or any of their associates. Refer to Section 3.1 for further details.

  • (b) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares comprised of the issue of 15,329,849 Shares in the form of CDIs pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 1.

  • (c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, in the form of CDIs, and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued in consideration for an issue price of $0.12 per Share, raising a total of $1,839,582 (before costs).

5. Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares to institutional and sophisticated investors under the Tranche 2 Placement

Those Shares will be offered at the same issue price as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (being $0.12 per Share), to raise up to $1,610,418 (before costs). Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 2 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (and it exceeds the 15% Placement Capacity) and is conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolution 2).

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 2 without using any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. In addition, the issue of those Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 2 will only proceed to the extent that the Company has the available placement capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. If the Company does not have the available placement capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 2 will not be able to proceed.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6 – Issue of Shares to certain Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) under the Tranche 2 Placement

  • 6.1 General

Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes) to issue (in aggregate) up to 2,916,667 Director Shares to certain Directors, being Messrs Phil Russo, Danny Callow, Mark Strizek and Scott Perry, (and/or their respective nominee(s)) under the Tranche 2 Placement. The Director Shares will be offered at the same issue price as the Shares under the Placement (being $0.12 per Share), to raise up to approximately $350,000 (before costs).

The Company is proposing to issue up to:

  • (a) 208,333 Director Shares to Mr Phil Russo (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 3;

  • (b) 208,333 Director Shares to Mr Danny Callow (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 4;

  • (c) 2,083,334 Director Shares to Mr Mark Strizek (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 5; and

  • (d) 416,667 Director Shares to Mr Scott Perry (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 6.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Shares to a related party. Messrs Russo, Callow, Strizek and Perry are each Directors and therefore are related parties of the Company.

The issues of the Director Shares do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 (and they exceed the 15% Placement Capacity) and those issues are conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6).

Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6.

6.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in 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 six 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 six 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 (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

  • unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of Director Shares to Messrs Phil Russo, Danny Callow, Mark Strizek and Scott Perry (and/or their respective nominee(s)) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Messrs Russo, Callow, Strizek and Perry are related parties to the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule

P a g e | 8

10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 208,333 Director Shares to Mr Russo (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 208,333 Director Shares to Mr Callow (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 2,083,334 Director Shares to Mr Strizek (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 416,667 Director Shares to Mr Perry (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

To the extent Resolution 3, 4, 5 or 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) without using any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. In addition, the issue of the relevant Director Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

To the extent Resolution 3, 4, 5 or 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing Director Shares to that Director and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
