EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – SUBDIVISION OF CAPITAL

1.1 Background

If Resolution 1 is passed, and excluding any Securities issued pursuant to the other Resolutions, the number of Shares on issue will be increased on the basis of the ratio, to be determined using the methodology set out in section 1.2 below ( Subdivision ).

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.25, a company must not reorganise its capital if the effect of doing so would be to decrease the price at which its main class of securities would be likely to trade, after the issue or reorganisation, to an amount which is less than $0.20. As such, the Company proposes to undertake the Subdivision of its issued capital based on the methodology set out in section 1.2, such that the Share price will be equal to $0.20 on a post Subdivision basis.

ASX has confirmed that the Company can use the floating ‘Subdivision Ratio’ described in Section 1.2 below (rather than a fixed ratio). This floating ratio has been decided upon by the Company as it does not know what the Share price will be on the 5 trading days prior to the date of the Meeting. A list of example Share prices and Subdivision Ratios are given at Section 1.2 below.

The purpose of the Subdivision is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward.

The Directors intend to implement the Subdivision prior to the proposed issues of Securities pursuant to Resolutions 2, 3 and 5, but the Subdivision will only occur if Shareholders approve this Resolution.

1.2 Subdivision Ratio

The ratio for the Subdivision ( Subdivision Ratio ) will be calculated and announced on the date of the Meeting. The volume weighted average price of the Shares on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Meeting ( 5 Day VWAP ) will be divided by $0.20, to determine the Subdivision Ratio. Where the 5 Day VWAP of Shares is less than $0.20, the Company proposes to withdraw Resolution 1 which would result in the Subdivision not proceeding.

Therefore:

Subdivision Ratio = 5 Day VWAP / $0.20

For example:

  • (a) if the 5 Day VWAP is $1.20, the Subdivision will occur on a 1 for 6 basis;

  • (b) if the 5 Day VWAP is $1.00, the Subdivision will occur on a 1 for 5 basis; and

  • (c) if the 5 Day VWAP is $0.80, the Subdivision will occur on a 1 for 4 basis.

The exercise price of Options will be reduced by the Subdivision Ratio in accordance the ASX Listing Rules.

1901422_4_TNO - Notice of Meeting - 13 04 18 FINAL

1.3 Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of Options on issue be Subdivided in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. The Company currently has 17,105,701 Options on issue, which will be Subdivided on the same ratio as the Company’s Shares.

1.4

Fractional entitlements

Not all Shareholders and Option holders will hold that number of Shares or Options which can be evenly multiplied by the Subdivision Ratio. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole security.

1.5

Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Security holders arising from the Subdivision. However, Security holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Subdivision and neither the Company, nor its advisers, accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Subdivision.

1.6 Holding statements

From the date two Business Days after the Subdivision is approved by Shareholders, all share certificates for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post- Subdivision basis.

After the Subdivision becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new share certificates for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities.

It is the responsibility of each Security Holder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

1.7 Effect on capital structure

Examples of the effect which the Subdivision will have on the Company’s capital structure are set out in the tables below

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

2.1 General

On 28 March 2018, the Company issued 5,000,000 Shares (pre-Subdivision) at an issue price of $0.40 per Share to raise $2,000,000.

3,050,055 Shares (pre-Subdivision) were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2017 and 1,949,945 Shares (pre-Subdivision) were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

7

1901422_4_TNO - Notice of Meeting - 13 04 18 FINAL

2.2 Resolution 2 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX 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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.3 Resolution 3 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 3, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

2.4

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:

  • (a) 5,000,000 Shares were issued;

  • (i) 1,949,945 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 3,050,055 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.40 per Share;

8

1901422_4_TNO - Notice of Meeting - 13 04 18 FINAL

  • (c) the 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 Shares were issued to clients of Xcel Capital. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue will be used for exploration activities at the SteelpoortVan Vanadium Project and for ongoing working capital requirements.
