The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.
1. Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 - Ratification of issue of Placement Shares to Placement Participants and Ratification of issue of Lead Manager Options
1.1 Placement
On 9 June 2022 the Company announced that it had raised $2,508,000 (before costs) by issue of a total of 66,000,000 Shares to persons who are sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement Participants ) at $0.038 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement was conducted without shareholder using the Company’s issuing capacities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:
-
(a) 34,000,835 Shares using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) 31,999,165 Shares using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek ratification and approval by Shareholders of the prior issue of the Placement Shares under the Company’s Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacities respectively.
Argonaut Securities Pty Ltd (the Lead Manager) have acted as lead manager to the Placement.
In accordance with their lead manager agreement, the fee payable to the Lead Manager for lead manager services performed includes the grant of a total of 6,187,500 Options to the Lead Manager or its nominee ( Lead Manager Options ).
The Company issued the Lead Manager Options without shareholder approval using the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution and seeks ratification and approval by Shareholders of the prior issue of the Lead Manager Options. The Lead Manager is not a Related Party of the Company.
1.2
Use of funds raised under the Placement
The proceeds from the raising will be used to fund major drilling and exploration programs at the Company’s 100%-owned Western Australian gold projects. This will include follow-up drilling campaigns at the high-grade Abercromby Gold Project, located in the north-eastern Goldfields, to further delineate the high-grade Capital Prospect and to test regional targets.
1.3
Lead Managers’ Mandate Agreement
The Company and the Lead Manager entered into an agreement ( Mandate Agreement ) for the engagement of the Lead Manager pursuant to which the Lead Manager agreed to act as joint lead managers, brokers and bookrunners to the offer of Shares under the Placement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Mandate Agreement, the Lead Manager was engaged on an exclusive basis to provide the following services to the Company in respect of the Placement:
-
(a) lead managing the Placement (including overall project management and development and management of the Placement timetable in conjunction with the Company);
-
7 -
-
(a) advising on the timing and structuring of the Placement in conjunction with the Company's legal and other professional advisers;
-
(b) completing the book build process (in conjunction with the Company and other advisers, as applicable);
-
(c) managing the allocation process in direct consultation with the Company;
-
(d) assisting in the drafting by the Company and its other advisors of the disclosure document and any other marketing documentation required in connection with the Placement;
-
(e) coordinating settlement processes between the Lead Managers and the Company, and subscribers to the Placement; and
-
(f) assisting with the communications strategy in relation to the Placement.
For performing these services, the Lead Manager has been paid a capital raising fee of up to 6% (plus GST) of the gross proceeds of the Placement arranged and managed by the Lead Manager
The Lead Manager (or their nominee(s)) subscribed for a total of 6,187,500 Lead Manager Options. The subscription price for the Lead Manager Options is $0.00001 per Option.
2. Regulatory requirements
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 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.
The issue of the Placement Shares and Lead Manager Options (‘ Equity Instruments’ ) did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as the issue of the Equity Instruments has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up a portion 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 issue date.
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 Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 1 and 2
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek shareholder approval of the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolutions 1 and/or 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the 15% and 10% limits in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolutions 1 and/or 2 are not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating the 15% and 10% limits in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
Resolution 3
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval of the issue of the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
- 8 -
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

STEP 1 – APPOINT A PROXY
If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default.

Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.
STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. 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 any item 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 the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise.
