RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS TO PLACEMENT INVESTORS

1. Placement

On 12 September 2023, the Company announced that it had undertaken a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors (together, the Placement Investors ) of 27,331,053 Shares to raise approximately $546,000 (before costs) ( Placement ). As part of the Placement, the Company proposes to grant 13,665,527 Options to various Placement Investors with an exercise price of $0.09 per Share and an exercise period commencing on the date of grant and ending on 20 January 2026 ( Placement Investor Options ).

Subject to the Company satisfying the relevant quotation requirements, the Placement Investor Options will be quoted and will form part of the Company’s existing quoted class of Options (which are quoted under code “BMOOA”).

2. Listing Rules Requirement

In broad terms 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed grant of the Placement Investor Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the Placement Investor Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Placement Investor Options to the Placement Investors. In addition, the grant of the Placement Investor Options 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 1 is not passed, the Company will, when it is able to do so, use its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to grant the Placement Investor Options to the Placement Investors, which will result in the Placement Investor Options being included in the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

3. Information required by the Listing Rules

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:

  • (a) the Placement Investor Options are to be granted to various Placement Investors. Associates of GTT Ventures, being Patric Glovac, Charles Thomas and Rocco Tassone or entities controlled by them, are Placement Investors. The Placement Investor Options to be issued to these Placement Investors if Resolution 1 is passed comprise no more than 2.12% of the Company’s issued capital as at the date of this Notice. Otherwise, none of the other Placement

11

Investors are related parties of the Company, a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an Associate of any of them;

  • (b)

  • the Placement Investor Options comprise 13,665,527 Options;

  • (a) each Placement Investor Option may be exercised for one new Share on payment of $0.09 per Share during the period commencing on the date of grant and ending on 20 January 2026, following which any unexercised Placement Investor Options will lapse. There are no other material terms of these Equity Securities;

  • (b) the Placement Investor Options will be granted to the various Placement Investors as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 3 months, after the date of this Meeting;

  • (c) the Placement Investor Options will be granted to the various Placement Investors for nil cash consideration;

  • (d) the Placement Investor Options are to be granted to the various Placement Investors as a part of the Placement. The purpose of the Placement was to raise funds for working capital and to advance exploration in Canada and Sweden;

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the grant of the Placement Investor Options to the various Placement Investors. Any subscription funds received by the Company on exercise of the Placement Investor Options will be used for general working capital purposes, for exploration activities and as part of the Company’s overall corporate strategy; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

4. Recommendation and undirected proxies

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS TO GTT VENTURES

1. Placement

As noted above, on 12 September 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the Placement to the Placement Investors. In consideration for GTT Ventures acting as lead manager in relation to the Placement, the Company proposes to grant to GTT Ventures (or its nominees) 5,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.09 per Share and an exercise period commencing on the date of grant and ending on 20 January 2026 ( GTT Placement Options ).

Subject to the Company satisfying the relevant quotation requirements, the Placement Investor Options will be quoted and will form part of the Company’s existing quoted class of Options (which are quoted under code “BMOOA”).

2. Listing Rules Requirement

In broad terms 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed grant of the GTT Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

12

Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the GTT Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the GTT Placement Options to GTT Ventures (or its nominees) in part satisfaction of the compensation payable to GTT Ventures for services provided by GTT Ventures as the Company’s lead manager in relation to the Placement. In addition, the grant of the GTT Placement Options 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 Company will, when it is able to do so, use its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to grant the GTT Placement Options to GTT Ventures (or its nominees), which will result in the GTT Placement Options being included in the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

3. Information required by the Listing Rules

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:

  • (a) the GTT Placement Options are to be granted to GTT Ventures, the Company’s lead manager in relation to the Placement, or its nominees;

  • (b) the GTT Placement Options comprise 5,000,000 Options;

  • (c) each GTT Placement Option may be exercised for one new Share on payment of $0.09 per Share during the period commencing on the date of grant and ending on 20 January 2026, following which any unexercised GTT Placement Options will lapse;

  • (d) the GTT Placement Options will be granted to GTT Ventures (or its nominees) as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 3 months, after the date of this Meeting;

  • (e) the GTT Placement Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, but will be granted in part satisfaction of the compensation payable to GTT Ventures for services provided by GTT Ventures as the Company’s lead manager in relation to the Placement;

  • (f) the GTT Placement Options are to be granted to GTT Ventures (or its nominees) in part satisfaction of the compensation payable to GTT Ventures for services provided by GTT Ventures as the Company’s lead manager in relation to the Placement;

  • (h) the GTT Placement Options will be granted under a mandate between the Company and GTT Ventures ( Placement Mandate ). Under the Placement Mandate, the Company agreed, in consideration for GTT Ventures acting as lead manager in relation to the Placement, to:

4. Recommendation and undirected proxies

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES

1. Placement

On 12 September 2023, the Company announced that it had successfully completed the Placement, whereby 27,331,053 Shares were issued to the Placement Investors for an issue price of $0.02 per Share ( Placement Shares ).

2. Listing Rules Requirements

In broad terms, 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 shareholder over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company received this approval from its members at its most recent annual general meeting, meaning that its limit is 25%.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A), those Equity Securities will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so do not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares to the Placement Investors will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing 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 3 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares to the Placement Investors will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and.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.

3. Information required by the Listing Rules

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Investors. Associates of GTT Ventures, being Patric Glovac, Charles Thomas and Rocco Tassone or entities controlled by them, were Placement Investors. The Placement Shares issued to these Placement Investors comprised no more than 4.23% of the Company’s issued capital as at the date of the issue. Otherwise, none of the other Placement Investors were related parties of the Company, a member of the

14

Company’s Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an Associate of any of them;

  • (b) the Placement Shares comprise 27,331,053 Shares;

  • (c) 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, and rank equally with all other existing Shares;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Investors on 14 September 2023;

  • (e) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Investors for an issue price of $0.02 per Share;

  • (f) the proceeds of the issue of the Placement Shares will be used for working capital and to advance exploration in Canada and Sweden; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

4. Recommendation and undirected proxies

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES

1. Consideration Shares

As announced on 20 February 2023, the Company has entered into a binding heads of agreement with the shareholders of Austek Resources Pty Ltd ACN 636 874 390 ( Austek ), being Darren Paul Olsen, Enigma Strategic Minerals Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 621 118 830 and GTT Metals Group Pty Ltd ACN 645 269 816 ( GTT Metals ) ( Vendors ) ( HOA ), pursuant to which the Vendors have granted the Company the option to acquire the entire issued share capital of Austek ( Austek Option ). Austek holds conditional rights to acquire three highly prospective lithium projects in Ontario, Canada, from Mr Perry English and Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd ( Royalty Owners ).

In accordance with the amending deed dated 26 July 2023 between the Company and the Vendors in respect of the HOA ( Amending Deed ), and as announced on 27 July 2023, if the Company exercises the Austek Option, it must issue 9,000,000 Shares with a deemed issue price per share of A$0.044 ( Consideration Shares ) to or as directed by the Vendors.

Further, and as also announced on 27 July 2023, the Company has exercised the Austek Option. On 5 October 2023, the Company issued 8,500,000 Consideration Shares to or in accordance with a direction from the Vendors. The remaining 500,000 Consideration Shares will be issued to the Vendors in the future. This future share issue will come out of the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, this Resolution 4 only relates to the 8,500,000 Consideration Shares issued by the Company on 5 October 2023.

Further information in relation to Austek and the Option can be found in the Company’s announcements on ASX on 20 February 2023 and 27 July 2023.

2. Listing Rules Requirement

In broad terms, 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 shareholder over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

15

The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses 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 Consideration Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those Equity Securities will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so do 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 in the future without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the Consideration Shares to or as directed by the Vendors will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Consideration Shares to or as directed by the Vendors will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under 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 Shares.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, or if Resolution 5 is passed but the date on which the Performance Criteria is satisfied does not permit the Company to issue the Performance Shares within the three month period after the date of this Meeting, the Company may, when it is able to do so and subject to the satisfaction of the Performance Criteria, use its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Performance Shares to or as directed by the Vendors, which will result in the Performance Shares being included in the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without

17

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Alternatively, the Company may seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Performance Shares at a later annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting.

1. Issue of Shares

The Company proposes to issue up to 50,000,000 Shares ( Further Shares ) to existing Shareholders and new sophisticated and professional investors (together, the Further Share Investors ) on or before the date that is three months after the date of this Meeting.

18

2. Listing Rules Requirement

In broad terms 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Further Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the Further Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Further Shares to the Further Share Investors. In addition, the grant of the Further 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 6 is not passed, the Company will consider when it is able to do so and is in the best interests of shareholders, whether to use its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to grant the Further Shares to the Further Share Investors, which will result in the Further Shares being included in the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

3. Information required by the Listing Rules

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:

  • (a) the Further Shares are to be granted to various Further Share Investors. None of the other Further Share Investors will be related parties of the Company, a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an Associate of any of them. The Further Share Investors will be selected from amongst existing Shareholders and new sophisticated and professional investors by the Company’s adviser, GTT Ventures. GTT Ventures works with a number of brokers across Australia in order to ensure a good spread of allocations to different brokers with a focus on satisfying current investor demand and new institutional and high net worth investors who understand the micro-cap sector with a focus on holding Shares longer term;

  • (b) the Further Shares comprise up to 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (c) the Further 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, and rank equally with all other existing Shares;

  • (d) the Further Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (e) the Further Shares are to be issued to the Further Share Investors for an issue price of no greater than a 25% discount to the 5 Day VWAP;

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

RESOLUTION 7– ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DAVID NOLAN

1. Background

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 10,000,000 Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below ( Director Performance Rights ). Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot the Director Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee).

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) 10.11.1 – a related party;

  • (b) 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;

  • (c) 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 the right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) 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 Director Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee) falls within Listing Rules 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 (and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee) and will need to negotiate alternative remuneration including, but not limited to, other non-monetary benefits to preserve the Company’s cash and the directors’ remuneration pool.

5. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

20

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Director Performance Rights under Resolution 7 constitutes giving a financial benefit, as David Nolan and the Company are related parties for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act by virtue of David Nolan being a Director.

David Nolan has a material personal interest in respect of Resolution 7 regarding the issue of the Director Performance Rights to him or his nominee. The Directors (other than David Nolan), being Ross Landles and Sam El-Rahim, have considered the issue of the Director Performance Rights to David Nolan (or his nominee) and have formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit as part of his remuneration would be reasonable, given the circumstances of the Company, the quantum and terms of the Director Performance Rights, and the responsibilities held by David Nolan in the Company.

Accordingly, the Directors (excluding David Nolan) have resolved that the issue of the Director Performance Rights fall within the “reasonable remuneration” exception as set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act, and accordingly the Company relies on this exception for the purposes of the issue of the Director Performance Rights. Therefore, the proposed issue of Director Performance Rights to David Nolan requires only Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

6. Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) the Director Performance Rights will be issued to David Nolan (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of David Nolan being a Director (and his nominee falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.4 by virtue of being an associate of a Director);

  • (b) the number of Director Performance Rights to be issued to David Nolan (or his nominee) is 10,000,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights and the value that the Company attributes to the Director Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Director Performance Rights will be issued to David Nolan (or his nominee) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting;

  • (e) the issue price of the Director Performance Rights will be nil. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Performance Rights;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Performance Rights to the Performance Rights Participants is to appropriately remunerate David Nolan and to encourage David Nolan to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives;

  • (g) the current total remuneration package for David Nolan is:

  • (i) $45,000 (plus GST) per annum;

  • (ii) 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.25 and an exercise period expiring on 19 January 2024; and

  • (iii) 750,000 Performance Rights, the terms and conditions of which were announced by the Company on ASX on 30 April 2021; and

21

  • (iv)

9,000,000 Performance Rights, the terms of which were announced by the Company on ASX on 28 April 2023;

there are no other material terms of the agreements under which the securities will be issued; and

(h) a voting exclusion statement for each of Resolution 7 is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

7. Other information

Under the Australian equivalent of the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), the Company is required to expense the value of the Director Performance Rights in its statement of financial performance for the relevant financial years’ corresponding to the expected vesting period for those Director Performance Rights.

Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors do not consider that, from an economic or commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences, for the Company or benefits forgone by the Company in issuing the Director Performance Rights.

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 Resolution 7.

8. Recommendation and undirected proxies

The Directors (other than David Nolan, who abstains in respect of the Resolution 7, as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

Subject to section 224 of the Corporations Act, the Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 7 by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to, subject to section 224 of the Corporations Act, vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intentions on Resolution 7, even though those Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

SCHEDULE 1: DIRECTOR PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

Part A – Terms and conditions of Director Performance Rights

Issue price

  • (a) Each Director Performance Right will be issued for nil cash consideration.

Rights

  • (b) The Director Performance Rights do not carry any voting rights in the Company.

  • (c) The Director Performance Rights do not entitle the holder to any dividends.

  • (d) The Director Performance Rights do not confer any right to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up of the Company.

  • (e) The Director Performance Rights do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

  • (f) The Director Performance Rights do not confer the right to participate in new issues of securities such as entitlement issues. If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and no Share has been issued in respect of the Director Performance Right before the record date for determining the entitlements to the bonus issue, the number of Shares which must be issued on the conversion of a Director Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the relevant Director Performance Right had converted before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (g) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the Director Performance Rights are to be treated in the manner set out in Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

  • (h) The Director Performance Rights give the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms and conditions.

Vesting and exercise

  • (i) Subject to these terms, once vested, each Director Performance Right may be exercised to convert into one Share. The Director Performance Rights may be exercised by the Performance Right Participant delivering to the Company Secretary the certificate for the Director Performance Rights and a notice of exercise in a form approved by the Board signed by the Performance Right Participant.

  • (k) Each Share issued or transferred on exercise of a Director Performance Right will rank equally with a fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company.

  • (l) The Director Performance Rights will not be quoted on any securities exchange and the Company will not make an application for quotation in respect of them. However, application will be made to ASX for official quotation of any Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Performance Rights, to the extent required by Listing Rule 2.4, if the Company is listed on the ASX at the relevant time.

  • (m) If a takeover bid is made to acquire some or all of the issued Shares, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a takeover bid for Shares:

  • i. any outstanding Performance Conditions in relation to any unvested Director Performance Rights are deemed to have been satisfied and those Director Performance Rights are deemed to be fully vested and capable of exercise; and

  • ii. David Nolan (or his nominee) is entitled to exercise all or part of their Director Performance Rights and accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction or event in respect of all or part of the Shares issued or transferred upon the exercise of the Director Performance Rights,

provided that such takeover bid or other transaction or event results in a person who does not control the Company at the time the Director Performance Rights are issued achieving control of more than 50% of the Shares.

and, to avoid doubt, a condition may be satisfied on or prior to the date of issue of the Director Performance Rights.

  • (o) If the relevant Performance Condition is not satisfied on or before relevant deadline specified in clause (n), the relevant Director Performance Rights will immediately and automatically lapse.

Transferability

  • (p) The Director Performance Rights are not transferable.

Compliance with Corporations Act, Listing Rules and Constitution

  • (q) Despite anything else contained in these terms and conditions, if the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution prohibits an act being done, that act must not be done.

  • (r) Nothing contained in these terms and conditions prevents an act being done that the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution require to be done.

  • (s) If the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution conflict with these terms and conditions, or these terms and conditions do not comply with the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or the Constitution, the holder authorises the Company to do anything necessary to rectify such conflict or non-compliance, including but not limited to unilaterally amending these terms and conditions.

  • (t) The terms of the Director Performance Rights may be amended as necessary by the Board in order to comply with the Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms, provided that rights and entitlements in respect of any Director Performance Rights issued before the date of the amendment shall not be reduced or adversely affected without the prior written approval from the affected Performance Right Participant.

Annexure A – HOA Announcement

`

New Lithium Project Acquisition Highlights:

  • Bastion Minerals Ltd (ASX: BMO, Bastion , Company or BMO ) has entered into a Binding Heads Of Agreement ( HOA ) with Austek Resources Pty Ltd ( Austek ) for an option to acquire three highly prospective lithium properties located in Ontario Canada, a rapidly growing lithium province.

  • The three properties are located close to known pegmatites, where adjacent companies have intersected pegmatites in drilling and have defined and reported resources. The property groups are referred to as Pakwan East Lithium, Raleigh Lake Lithium, and McCombe North Lithium projects.

  • The Pakwan East project comprises 17km[2] and is located immediately adjacent to properties owned by Frontier Lithium Inc (TSXV: FL), who have the PAK lithium project which includes the Spark Lithium deposit .

  • The McCombe North project comprises 33km[2] of tenure and immediately abuts the north of the Root Bay properties owned by Green Technology Metals (ASX: GT1), where they are drilling the Morrison and McCombe lithium deposits.

  • The Raleigh Lake Lithium property is hosted within the Wabigoon Terrane, also host to the Mavis Li Deposits (Critical Resources Ltd ASX:CRR) and the Raleigh Lake Li-bearing pegmatites of International Lithium Corp (TSXV: ILC).

  • Bastion’s Consultant Geologist, Mr. Murray Brooker, who has held Senior technical roles consulting to Lithium Power International (ASX: LPI), Allkem Ltd (formerly Orocobre) (ASX: AKE) and Advantage Lithium Corp (TSXV: AAL), will work closely with Austek’s Canadian Geological team to ensure exploration is expediated across the projects.

  • The Bastion Board has also resolved, following due diligence, not to proceed with the portfolio of lithium royalties and projects, announced to the ASX on 5 December 2022.[1]

ABN: 19 147 948 883 Level 6, 22 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000

ASX:BMO www.bastionminerals.com

Cessation of Option Agreement announced 5 December 2022:

  • Following a detailed evaluation of the property package of over 130 mining properties ( refer ASX announcement of 5 December 2022 ), the Board believes there is more value for Bastion in acquiring individual high-quality properties rather than such a large portfolio.

  • Consequently, Bastion has decided not to proceed with the royalty property package acquisition, instead the Company will focus its Lithium acquisition strategy on projects providing direct upside to potential exploration success.

  • Bastion believes the Austek properties sit in highly fertile areas, which cover 63.5 km[2] and are highly prospective for lithium pegmatites, although given the early stage of each of the three projects, it is too early to determine the prospectivity of the projects until further exploration is undertaken.

  • The company plans to begin on-ground exploration consisting of mapping and sampling, as soon as possible.

  • Spodumene lithium pegmatite deposits in Canada have many similarities to those in the Archean rocks of Western Australia, with pegmatites emplaced around granitoids, within sequences of mafic and ultramafic rocks and metasediments and within some granitoid bodies.

Executive Chairman, Mr Ross Landles, commented:

“Having evaluated the large package of Ontario lithium properties, with NSR royalties, Bastion has decided there is more immediate value for the company in this option to acquire highly prospective lithium properties in close proximity to known pegmatites and projects with lithium pegmatite resources.

To this end, Bastion has entered into a HOA with the option to acquire Austek Resources, located adjacent to properties where pegmatites and lithium deposits have been identified. Bastion is in the process of acquiring additional geoscience data for the properties and aims to begin on ground exploration with geological teams as soon as seasonal conditions allow. The Austek lithium properties provide further exposure for BMO to the battery metals sector, which is set to be a global driver of the mining industry for many years to come. Combined with BMO’s copper assets in Chile, shareholders have great exposure to the battery minerals space and both are in stable mining jurisdictions.”

Austek Transaction Details:

As part of the HOA, the Company will pay the vendors of Austek a A$150,000 payment to secure an exclusive option over the properties. During this period, Bastion is required to spend C$150,000 on in-ground expenditure across the projects.

ABN: 19 147 948 883 Level 6, 22 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000

ASX:BMO www.bastionminerals.com

Within six months from signing the HOA with Austek, BMO has the ability to exercise an option to acquire all of the ordinary shares in Austek. In the event BMO exercises its option, the Company agrees to issue A$1,000,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in BMO, to the vendors of Austek, at an issue price equal to a 15% discount to the 15 day trading VWAP of BMO shares, prior to signing the HOA.

The Austek properties are subject to a combined 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty ( NSR ) over all minerals extracted from the Project. The NSR will have a buyback of 0.5% for C$500,000 at the election of BMO. In addition, on the day which is one year following BMO signing the HOA, a C$66,000 cash payment is payable to the Royalty Owners. Additionally, on the day which is two years following BMO signing the HOA, a C$90,000 cash payment will be payable to the Royalty Owners.

Highlights

  • Bastion Minerals Limited (ASX: BMO, Bastion or Company ) has elected to exercise the option ( Option ) pursuant to the Binding Heads of Agreement ( HOA ) with the shareholders of Austek Resources Pty Ltd (“ Austek ”) early, to acquire the three highly prospective lithium property packages located in Ontario, Canada[1] .

  • Following the commencement of exploration activities on the portfolio of assets Bastion elected to exercise the option early after Bastion Management was able to negotiate significantly more favourable acquisition terms on the Company’s behalf.

  • • The revised terms better align the interests of Bastion s shareholders with the vendors agreeing to a substantially lower upfront consideration which will be the subject of a voluntary 3 month escrow period as well as a milestone payment based on project success.

  • The Company recently appointed Orix Geoscience Inc (“ Orix ”), a well-established Canadian geological consultancy to undertake exploration activities on the McCombe North and Raleigh Lake Lithium projects, with logistical planning underway related to the Pakwan East project.

Orix are conducting intensive mapping, soil and rock sampling over the properties, concentrating on the greenstone units and other host rocks prospective for spodumene bearing LCT pegmatites.

  • The early exercise of the option now allows Bastion to commence activities at the Pakwan East Project where exploration is expected to commence shortly and will focus on a series of mapped pegmatite clusters, including two clusters measuring more than 1km[2 2] .

ABN: 19 147 948 883 Level 6, 22 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000

Commenting on the exercise of the Option under the HOA, Bastion’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Ross Landles, said :

“We are pleased to have revised terms with the shareholders of Austek that allowed us to exercise the Option early on our three highly prospective lithium projects in Ontario Canada.

The revised terms better align the interests of Bastion’s shareholders with the vendors who agreed to vary the consideration payable as a result of Bastion being presented with delayed access to evaluate some of the properties under the HOA. The revised terms include a substantially lower upfront consideration which will be the subject of a voluntary 3-month escrow period as well as a milestone payment based on project success.

We are very encouraged with the early exploration activities undertaken by our team on the ground and we look forward to updating the market shortly on the progress.”

Revised Transaction Terms:

Under the revised transaction terms, Bastion has agreed with the vendors to issue or pay:

  • Upon completion of the transaction ( Completion ), 9,000,000 fully paid ordinary Bastion shares ( Shares ) to the Austek vendors, and Mr Perry English and Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd (together, the Royalty Owners ), with a deemed value of AUD$396,000, based on a price of AUD $0.044 per Share. The issue price of the Shares is equal to a 15% discount to the 15 day trading VWAP of BMO shares, prior to signing the original HOA.

It should be noted this is significantly reduced from the calculated 24,447,824 shares that were to be issued to the vendors under the original terms of the HOA.

BMO is also required to pay CAD$42,000 in cash to the Royalty Owners upon Completion.

  • The Shares are subject to a voluntary 3 month escrow period.

  • 7,000,000 Shares to the Austek vendors, if BMO conducts a drill program on any of the three projects and intersects at least 10m @ 1% Li20, within a period of three years from the date of Completion.

The Company is liaising with ASX as to whether the shareholder approval received at the EGM on 30 May 2023 (resolution 7) applies to the issue of the 9,000,000 shares and also regarding the terms of the 7,000,000 performance shares and as to whether shareholder approval is required prior to issuing these shares.

  • A combined 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty ( NSR ) over all minerals extracted from the three project areas. The NSR will have a buyback of 0.5% for CAD$500,000 at the election of BMO. In addition, on the day which is one year following Completion, a CAD$66,000 cash payment is payable to the Royalty Owners. Additionally, on the day which is two years following Completion, a CAD$90,000 cash payment will be payable to the Royalty Owners.

ASX:BMO www.bastionminerals.com

ABN: 19 147 948 883 Level 6, 22 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000

Bastion expects to be able to fund each of the cash payments from its existing cash reserves at the appropriate time and, if the buyback of the NSR is exercised, then the Board will make a decision at the relevant time as to the best strategic option of funding the buyback.

Commenting on the exercise of the Option, an Austek, spokesman said:

“We have been highly impressed with the management of Bastion and their geological team in conducting their Ontario lithium exploration programs. The confidence we have in the BMO team makes it a very easy decision to align our interests with those of the BMO shareholders and reduce our upfront consideration in favour of success-based milestone payments. We await the release of results from the exploration program and eagerly look forward to the commencement of operations at Pakwan East that has significant pegmatite outcropping and pegmatite swarms”.

Figure 1: Austek Project Locations (Ontario, Canada) and other major projects and companies.

Orix, a well-established Canadian geological consultancy, recently commenced exploration activities such as mapping, sampling and geophysics, to identify any drill targets on the McCombe and Raleigh Lake properties over the past fortnight with some delays experienced due to the unavailability of helicopters, due to the bushfires in Quebec.

The McCombe North property is located adjacent to and immediately north of well-known Lithium deposits in the Root Bay area, where lithium pegmatites were previously identified in government mapping. Pegmatites in government mapping and government records of historical exploration are noted to be located in different geological units, principally within greenstone and mafic units trending through third party property.

Additional greenstone units are interpreted in Government mapping in the north of the Bastion properties. These greenstone units are present on the margin of a granodiorite intrusive, trending into the Bastion-optioned property (refer Figure 2 ).

Orix will continue to conduct intensive mapping and sampling over the properties, concentrating on the greenstone units, to evaluate the potential extension of pegmatites into the properties. Orix will also evaluate the interpreted northern greenstone unit, located adjacent to granitic rocks, in a highly prospective setting for pegmatite formation.
