3. BACKGROUND TO THE RESOLUTIONS
3.1 Overview
On 12 February 2025, the Company announced that it was conducting a private placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors, as well as certain Directors, to raise $783,000 (before costs), of which $495,000 was in cash and $138,000 was through conversion of outstanding advisory fees, in a placement of secured convertible notes on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A. The Placement is being completed in two tranches, being the Tranche 1 Issue and the Tranche 2 Issue.
On 20 February 2025, 633 Loan Notes were issued under the Tranche 1 Issue to nonrelated parties, raising $495,000 (before costs) in cash and a further $138,000 through the conversion of outstanding advisory fees. These Loan Notes were issued under the Company’s allowable placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is seeking Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Loan Notes under the Tranche 1 Issue under Resolution 1.
Included within the 633 Loan Notes issued were 138 Loan Notes issued to GCP as part settlement of outstanding advisory fees in relation to securing three offtake MOUs for more than 100% of production from phase 1 of the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project. In addition to the 138 Loan Notes, GCP has received value of $50,000 through the issue of 1,666,667 fully paid Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share in part settlement of the outstanding fees.

The Company will not apply for quotation of the Options. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Options are included in Annexure B.
The Loan Notes to be issued under the Tranche 2 Issue and the Options to be issued under the Tranche 1 Issue and the Tranche 2 Issue are subject to Shareholder approval.

Directors, Jurie Wessels and Michael Davy, have each applied for an amount of $75,000 in the Tranche 2 Issue, and subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval of Resolutions 3 and 4, will be issued, in aggregate, 150 Loan Notes together with 3,499,950 Options.

-
(b) Michael Davy has applied for 75 Loan Notes to raise $75,000 together with 1,749,975 Options (Resolution 4)
It is proposed that Messrs Wessels and Davy will participate in the Tranche 2 Issue on the same terms as the unrelated participants of the Placement. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue the Loan Notes and Options to the Participating Directors under Resolutions 3 and 4.
3.3 Use of Funds
The net proceeds of the Placement will be used as follows:
-
(a) seeking to secure a strategic investor to provide funding to reach final investment decision; and
-
(b) general corporate working capital purposes.
3.4 Summary of the Resolutions
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the following Resolutions relating to the Placement:
-
(a) Resolution 1 – ratification of prior issue of 633 Loan Notes to non-related parties under the Tranche 1 Issue under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity;
-
(b) Resolution 2 – approval to issue 14,769,789 Options to non-related parties under the Tranche 1 Issue under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(c) Resolution 3 – approval to issue 75 Loan Notes and 1,749,975 Options to related party, Jurie Wessels for his Tranche 2 Issue participation;
-
(d) Resolution 4 – approval to issue 75 Loan Notes and 1,749,975 Options to related party, Michael Davy for his Tranche 2 Issue participation; and
8
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING – VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED
- (e) Resolution 5 – ratification of prior issue of 1,666,666 Shares to GCP in part settlement of outstanding advisory fees, under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity;
In addition, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 6 to issue an additional 717 Loan Notes and 16,729,761 free-attaching Options to raise up to a further $717,000 (on the same terms and conditions as the Placement).
4. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 633 LOAN NOTES – TRANCHE 1 ISSUE
4.1 General
Details of the Tranche 1 Issue are set out in Section 3.1 above. Resolution 1 is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 633 Loan Notes issued to unrelated parties under the Tranche 1 Issue utilising the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
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 issue of the Loan Notes under the Tranche 1 Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and was not subject to prior Shareholder approval. The issue of the Loan Notes utilised the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue of the Loan Notes did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
Under Resolution 1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the Loan Notes under the Tranche 1 Issue pursuant to and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 should the need arise.
4.3 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Loan Notes under the Tranche 1 Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Loan Notes issued under the Tranche 1 Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
9

As part of the Placement, each participant will receive 23,333 free attaching Options for every Loan Note subscribed under the Placement. The Options are exercisable at $0.05 per Share and will expire on the date that is three years from the date of issue. The total amount of Options to be issued to the participants of the Tranche 1 Issue and Tranche 2 Issue is 14,769,789 Options and 3,499,950 Options, respectively.
The issue of Options under the Tranche 1 Issue requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 14,769,789 Options under the Tranche 1 Issue to participants in the Placement who are not related parties.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 of the Explanatory Memorandum above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under the Tranche 1 Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue 14,769,789 Options to participants in the Tranche 1 Issue. The Options will be granted as free attaching Options. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the grant of the Options. In addition, the grant of such Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Options under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of 14,769,789 Options to participants in the Tranche 1 Issue. As a result, the Company may need to consider alternate ways to incentivise/reward the participants in the Tranche 1 Issue.

6.3 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:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
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 Company;
-
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 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the Company 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 its shareholders
unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.
The issue of Loan Notes and Options to Participating Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (and if the Loan Notes and Options are issued to a nominee of the relevant Participating Director, the nominee will fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4 by virtue of being an associate of a Participating Director) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12.

As it is an exception from Listing Rule 7.1 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, if approval for an issue of Equity Securities is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of the Loan Notes and Options to the Participating Directors will not utilise any of the Company’s placement capacity under that rule.

Note: 75 Loan Notes to be issued to each Participating Director with a face value of $1,000 each, representing $75,000 to be raised by the Company from each Participating Director. The value of the Shares issued to each Participating Director on conversion of the Loan Notes is $78,750 where the minimum conversion price of $0.015 is used for valuation purposes and $105,000 where the closing price of the Shares on ASX as at 25 March 2025 is used for valuation purposes. The value of the Shares issued will fluctuate with movements in the price of Shares generally and the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Loan Notes will be determined based on the conversion price mechanism as set out in Annexure A (which will be less than 5,250,000 in the event the conversion price is higher than the minimum conversion price of $0.015). Based on the value of the Options and pricing methodology set out below, the value of the Options to be issued to each Participating Director is $20,175.

(e) the Loan Notes will be issued at a price of $1,000 each.

The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company issuing the Loan Notes and Options is the potential dilutionary impact on the issued share capital of the Company upon conversion of the Loan Notes and exercise of the Options.

Until converted or exercised, the Loan Notes and Options will not impact upon the number of Shares on issue in the

6.6 Dilution
If the Loan Notes issued to the Participating Directors convert at the minimum conversion price of $0.015, a total of 10,500,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 562,625,204 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 573,125,204 (assuming that no other Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholder of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 1.83%. However, the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Loan Notes will be determined based on the conversion price mechanism as set out in Annexure A (which will be less than 10,500,000 in the event the conversion price is higher than the minimum conversion price of $0.015).
If all of the Options issued under Resolutions 3 and 4 are exercised, a total of 3,499,950 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 562,625,204 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 576,625,154 (assuming that no other Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised, other than the Loan Notes issued to the Participating Directors) with the effect that the shareholder of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.43%.
6.7 Directors’ Recommendation
The Participating Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4 on the basis that these Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Loan Notes and Options should Resolutions 3 and 4 be passed. For this reason, the Participating Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to give a
18
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING – VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED
recommendation to Shareholders on whether or not to vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
John Ciganek (who does not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4) believes that Resolutions 3 and 4 are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholder as approval of these Resolutions will enable the Company to raise a total of $150,000 to be applied towards the objectives set out in Section 1.5. The Participating Directors are participating in the Placement on the same terms and conditions as the unrelated party participants. For these reasons, John Ciganek recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
1. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 1,666,666 SHARES TO GCP PARTNERS ASIA LIMITED
7.1 General
Details of the GCP Share Subscription are set out in Section 3.1 above. Resolution 5 is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 1,666,666 Shares issued to GCP in part settlement of outstanding advisory fees totalling $50,000. utilising the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
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 GCP Share Subscription was not subject to prior Shareholder approval and utilised the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the GCP Share Subscription did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
Under Resolution 5, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of Shares under the GCP Share Subscription pursuant to and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 should the need arise.
7.3
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the issue of the Loan Notes under the GCP Share Subscription will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Shares issued under the GCP Share Subscription will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
19
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING – VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED
7.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

(b) the total number of Shares issued under the GCP Share Subscription was 1,666,666 Shares;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Shares issued under the GCP Share Subscription were issued at a deemed issue price of 3 cents per Share, representing $50,000 worth of Shares issued as part settlement outstanding advisory fees owed to GCP. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares issued under the GCP Share Subscription;
-
(e) the Shares issued under the GCP Share Subscription were issued under a subscription agreement, which customary included terms and conditions considered standard for agreements of this nature; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 5 is included in this Notice of Meeting.
7.5 Directors’ Recommendation
All of the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Loan Notes and Options issued under the Further Issue will be issued on the same terms and conditions as under the Placement; a summary of the material terms of the Loan Notes and Options to be issued under the Further Issue are set out in Section 3.1 above, while a summary of the full terms and conditions of the Options to be issued under the Further Issue are set out in Annexure B.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.

20
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING – VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED
and so the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Further Issue under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.3 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will only be able to carry out the Further Issue by way of a placement within the limits of the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which would decrease the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
