About Botswana Metals

Botswana Metals is exploring for nickel, copper, cobalt, tantalum and lithium within its ~1,500 square kilometre exploration portfolio. These “new world” metals are becoming increasingly important as the world switches to cleaner sources of energy.

The company announced a maiden JORC Inferred Resource of 2.38Mt on 28[th] April 2015 from drilling within a small 185 square kilometre section of its exploration portfolio in which it had entered a joint venture with BCL. At the time cobalt was not included in the resource calculation.

Historical drilling outside of the joint venture ground has intercepted further nickel as well as significant intercepts of copper and cobalt.

A soil sampling program detected traces of lithium and tantalum which warrant further exploration.

Large tracts of BML’s exploration portfolio remain unexplored.

18. Resolution 14 - Participation in Placement by related parties

18.1 General

Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for Directors (or their nominees) to participate in the Placement.

Directors Joshua Letcher, Edwin Bulseco, Steve Groves and Patrick Volpe (together, the Related Party Participants ) each wish to participate in the Placement, subject to shareholder approval being obtained.

Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 60,975,610 Placement Shares and 20,325,204 Placement Options to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) arising from the participation by the Related Party Participants in the Placement ( Participation ).

Resolution 14 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 14.

18.2

Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is contained in Section 5.2.

The Company is seeking approval to issue up to 60,975,610 of the Placement Shares and 20,325,204 of the Placement Options to the Related Party Participants.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

18.3 Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.

The Directors do not have a material personal interest in the issue of Placement Shares and Placement Options to a Director (or their nominee(s)) other than to himself. However, given that it is proposed that all Directors are issued Placement Shares and Placement Options pursuant to Resolution 14, they may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 14, in which case the Directors would be unable to form a quorum. Accordingly, the Board considers it prudent to exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and put the matter to Shareholders to resolve.

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is contained in Section 5.4.

  • 32 -

Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued to Related Party Participants on the same terms as the Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

In accordance with section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act, shareholders may pass a special resolution changing the name of a company. At least 75% of the votes validly cast on Resolution 16 by Shareholders must be in favour of the resolution for the change of name to be approved.

  • 35 -

name with ASIC to ensure the name is available should Shareholders approve this resolution.

The change of name will take effect on the day that ASIC registers the change of name. The legal status of the Company will not be affected and the change of name will not affect the Company’s property, rights or obligations, nor any rights or entitlements of Shareholders.

20.2 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 16.

Resolution 16 is a special resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 16.

21. Resolution 17 - Approval of 10% Placement Facility

21.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its 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 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 21.2(c) below).

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 17.

Resolution 17 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 Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 17.

  • 36 -

21.2 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.

  • (b) Equity Securities

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 only one class of quoted Equity Securities, being its Shares.

  • (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.

  • 37 -

  • (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.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 21.2(c)).

(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 ).

21.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 4 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.

21.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities 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

  • 38 -

  • (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.

  • (b) 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 Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice and assuming any ratification resolutions in this Notice are approved by Shareholders.

The table also shows:

  • (i) 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

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  2. No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  3. 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%.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. The issue price is $0.001, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 24 October 2017 being that last day that the Company’s Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed.

  8. (d) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  9. 40 -

  10. (e) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  11. (i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for exploration of its projects and potentially the funding for any suitable acquisition opportunities identified by the Board; or

  12. (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resource assets and investments or for the provision of services to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  13. (f) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  14. (g) 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:

  15. (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;

  16. (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  17. (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  18. (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  19. (h) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include service providers, existing 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 resource assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (i) The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2016. In the 12 months preceding the date of the 2017 Annual General Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 665,970,011 Equity Securities. This represents 42% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period and an increase in total Equity Securities on issue of 142% during the 12 month period (taking into account conversion from one class of Equity Securities to another).

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not vote on a poll in accordance with your directions or does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote the proxies as directed.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each Resolution. 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 a Resolution 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 a given Resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are able. If you mark more than one box on a Resolution, your vote on that Resolution will be invalid.

PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 11(a), 11(b), 11(c) and 13 and any other Resolution/s connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for the Resolution.

PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a Resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that Resolution), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as they see fit on that Resolution.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

(b) Return both forms together.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone.
