Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting.
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 and 2 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares to Placement Participants
1.1 Placement
On 26 April 2023, the Company announced that it had raised $1,500,000 (before costs) by issue of 120,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ), at an issue price of $0.0125 per Placement Share to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Participants ), and up to 40,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.025 each expiring 30 September 2024 ( Placement Options ), on the basis of one attaching Option for every three Shares issued ( Placement ).
The Placement would be conducted in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) Tranche 1 Placement: the placement and issue of:
-
(i) 81,497,914 Shares issued on 8 May 2023 to various professional and sophisticated investors, being at an issue price of $0.0125 each, raising approximately $1,02 million (before costs ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and
-
(ii) 27,165,971 Placement Options to Tranche 1 Placement Participants, to be issued after the General Meeting and subject to Shareholder approval of the issue of the Options ( Tranche 1 Placement Options ); and
-
(b) Tranche 2 Placement: a proposed issue of
-
(i) 38,502,086 Shares to be issued on or about 19 June 2023 each being at an issue price of $0.0125, raising approximately $0.48 million (before costs) ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ); and
-
(ii) 12,834,029 Placement Options to be issued after the General Meeting and subject to Shareholder approval of the issue of the Options ( Tranche 2 Placement Options ).
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek ratification and approval by Shareholders of the prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Company’s Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacities respectively.
1.2 Use of funds raised under the Placement
The proceeds from the raising will be used to fund corporate costs and general working capital requirements.
More specifically, the proceeds will be used towards:
-
exploration and project development activities at the Company’s Abercromby Project, including resource development;
-
8 -
-
RC Drilling program at the Company’s Bullabulling Project to test anomalous lithium targets; and
-
further fieldwork to test lithium targets at the Company’s Invincible Project.
1.3 Requirement for Shareholder approval
As described in Section 1.1 above, the Company has issued a total of 81,497,914 Shares under the Placement to professional and sophisticated investors using its issuing capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The Company confirms that the issue of the Placement Shares to Tranche 1 Placement Participants the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions seeking approval by Shareholders of the ratification of the issue of 81,497,914 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement.
None of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants are Related Parties of the Company.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, 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 15%. The Company obtained such approval at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting held on 8 November 2022.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A and 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 from the issue date of the Placement Shares.
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 (or Listing Rule 7.1A as applicable) 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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Purpose and effect of Resolution 1
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 42,898,749 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of 42,898,749 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 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.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of 42,898,749 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 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.
- 9 -
Purpose and effect of Resolution 2
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 38,599,165 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of 38,599,165 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval before 8 November 2023 (being the date 12-months after the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting at which the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A was approved).
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of 38,599,165 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s remaining capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval before 8 November 2023.
1.4 Listing Rule information requirements

1.5 Directors’ recommendations – Resolutions 1 and 2

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.
2. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares to non-Related Party investors
2.1
Requirement for Shareholder approval
The Company proposes to place up to 38,502,086 Placement Shares to investors who are not Related Parties to the Company under the Tranche 2 Placement.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders for the proposed issue of 38,502,086 Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
- 11 -
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
To that end, Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to persons who are not Related Parties, and raise approximately $0.48 million in capital for the Company. In addition, the issue 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares and consequently, the Company will not raise approximately $0.48 million in capital.
2.2 Listing Rule information requirements

4.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
5. Resolution 6 – Approval to issue 15,000,000 Shares to Fairplay Gold Pty Ltd under Listing Rule 7.1
5.1 Background
On 15 February 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding Option Agreement with Fairplay Gold Pty Ltd ( Fairplay Gold ) to acquire a 100% interest in the Bullabulling Project, consisting of a $200,000 cash payment and the issue of 15,000,000 Shares to Fairplay Gold ( Consideration Shares ).
Resolution 6 seeks approval by Shareholders for the issue of the Consideration Shares to Fairplay Gold under Listing Rule 7.1 on exercise of the option to acquire the Bullabulling Project.
- 16 -
5.2 Requirement for Shareholder approval
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders for the proposed issue of 15,000,000 Shares to Fairplay Gold.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Consideration Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
To that end, Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue 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 Consideration Shares to Fairplay Gold. In addition, the issue 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 not be able to proceed with the issue of Consideration Shares and consequently, the Company may be required to pay Fairplay Gold a cash payment in lieu of the Consideration Shares.
5.3

- (a) Name of persons being issued securities and basis on which they were identified

(b) The number and class of securities issued
Subject to approval of Resolution 6, 15,000,000 Shares will be issued to Fairplay Gold.
All Consideration Shares will be fully-paid ordinary shares in the Company which will rank equally with all other Shares on issue.
(c)
