RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

A resolution for the adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with the Corporations Act.

The Remuneration Report details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of non-executive Directors and other senior executives and is set out in the 2022 Annual Report, which is available on the Company’s website at https://www.bastionminerals.com/investors/company-reports/.

However, the Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration practices and policies.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Directors abstain, in the interests of good corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF SAM EL-RAHIM

In accordance with the Listing Rules and the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, the Directors to retire are:

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

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

RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

1. Background

Broadly speaking and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained the approval of shareholders by special resolution at an annual general meeting to issue an additional 10% of issued capital by way of placements over a 12-month period without shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an eligible entity (being an entity with market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index) and seeks Shareholder approval under this Resolution for the 10% Placement Facility.

7

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution 3 is a Special Resolution requiring 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) to be passed.

2. Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Quoted securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX. As at the date of this Notice, the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares are quoted on ASX.

  • (b)

  • Number of Equity Securities that may be issued

Listing Rule 7.1 permits the Company to issue 15% of issued capital over a 12-month period without Shareholder approval ( 15% Capacity ). The 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholders passing this Resolution is to allow the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital during the next 12 months without obtaining specific Shareholder approval before the issue.

The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Facility is not fixed but is calculated under a formula prescribed by the Listing Rules (set out below).

At the date of this Notice the Company has 159,411,585 Shares on issue. If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice) and assuming it has its full unused placement capacity:

  • (i) 23,911,737 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Capacity ); and

  • (ii) 15,941,158 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 10% Placement Facility ).

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.

  • (c) Formula for calculating the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility

If this Resolution is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

ere:
A Has the same meaning as in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
D 10%
E The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing
Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not
been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under
rule 7.4.

8

3. Information required under the Listing Rules

  • (a) 10% Placement Period

Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility at any time after the date of this Meeting (assuming approval is obtained) until the first of the following occurs:

  • the date that is 12 months after this Meeting (assuming approval is obtained);

  • the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(b) Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity’s equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for 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 securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • (i) for cash consideration to fund business growth and for the purpose of raising working capital for the Company, to acquire new assets or make investments, or for the continuation of the Company’s exploration activities, the assessment and evaluation of new business development opportunities, to develop the Company’s existing assets and operations and for general working capital.

  • (d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is passed and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Facility, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution including the risk that:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.

The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares. The numbers are calculated on the basis of the latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice and the current number of Shares on issue.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) the latest available market price of Shares as of 4 April 2023 was $0.026;

  • (ii) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  • (iii) existing Shareholders’ holdings do not change from the date of this Meeting to the date of the issue under the 10% Placement Facility;

  • (iv) the Company issues Shares only and does not issue other types of Equity Securities (such as Options) under the 10% Placement Facility; and

  • (v) the impact of placements under Listing Rule 7.1 or the exercise of options is not included in the calculations.

  • (e)

  • Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors such as:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the new securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate and other advisors.

At the date of this Notice, the proposed allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined but may include existing Shareholders and/or new investors. None of the allottees will be a related party or an Associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

If the 10% Placement Facility is used to acquire new assets or investments, then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of these assets/investments.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A4 upon issue of any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (f) Prior issues under Listing Rule 7.1A.2

10

The Company previously obtained approval at its 2022 AGM and, pursuant to that approval, issued a total of 7,255,631 shares on 5 October 2022 at an issue price of $0.079 per share which represented the following discounts prior to the date of the agreement to issue the shares:

  • 13.2% discount to the last traded price of $0.091;

  • 13.2% discount to the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of $0.091; and

  • 21.2% discount to the 15 day VWAP of $0.10.

The total consideration received from the issue of the shares under Listing Rule 7.1A was $573,194.85 with the funds raised applied towards continuation of the Company’s exploration program in Chile on its copper and gold assets and also in the identification of new assets to strengthen its portfolio and land holdings. It is not possible to determine how much of the funds raised specifically under Listing Rule 7.1A have been used to date due to the intermingling of funds the Company had at the time of the share issuance and subsequently through raises completed post this share issuance however the funds raised under Listing Rule 7.1A have been and continue to be applied towards the purposes for which they were raised.

Further details in relation to that share issuance are contained within the Company’s announcement to the ASX on 29 September 2022.

None of the participants in the raising were either a Related Party of the Company, a member of Key Management Personnel or a substantial holder in the Company however six of the participants were entities associated with an adviser of the entity as directors of GTT Ventures Pty Ltd who was the lead manager to the placement. These 6 entities were:

Syracuse Capital Pty Ltd ;

Syracuse Capital Pty Ltd ;

Mounts Bay Investments Pty Ltd ;

Sea Sea Capital Pty Ltd;

Mounts Bay Investments Pty Ltd ; and

Murdoch Capital Pty Ltd .

Two of the six entities named above had shares issued to them that were greater than 1% of the issued capital at the date of issuance of the shares as follows:

Mounts Bay Investments Pty Ltd were issued 1,265,823 representing 1.218% of the shares on issue; and

Murdoch Capital Pty Ltd were issued 2,245,241 shares representing 2.161% of the shares on issue.

None of the six entities held any shares in the Company prior to the placement.

  • (g) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in the Notice of Meeting.
