EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10am (AWST) on 19 November 2024 at:

BDO Level 9, Mia Yellagonga Tower 2, 5 Spring Street, Perth WA 6000

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

There is no requirement for shareholders to approve these reports. The Chairman will allow a reasonable time for shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website.

1. Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report for the Company is set out in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report outlines the Company’s remuneration framework and the remuneration outcomes for the financial year the subject of the Remuneration Report for the Board and Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

Under the Corporations Act if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, then a further resolution ( Spill Resolution ) may be required to be considered at the second annual general meeting as to whether a further meeting be convened to put certain Directors to re-election. The Directors to be put to re-election are those Directors, other than the Managing Director, who were Directors when the resolution to make the Directors’ Report was passed.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the requirement for a Spill Resolution will not arise at this Meeting irrespective of the outcome of the vote on Resolution 1.

If you are appointing the Chair as your proxy, please note that the proxy form accompanying this Notice expressly authorises the Chair to vote any undirected

Page 8 of 18

proxies in favour of Resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. Accordingly, if you are appointing the Chair as your proxy and do not wish your proxy to vote in favour of Resolution 1, you will need to mark “against” or “abstain” where indicated in the proxy form in relation to Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of director – Mr Rhys Bradley

Clause 14.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting themself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has four Directors and accordingly one must retire.

Mr Bradley retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Bradley has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company for a period of approximately 3 years and 7 months since 9 February 2021.

Mr Bradley is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Western Australia and a Graduate Diploma in Mineral Exploration Geoscience from Curtin University. Mr Bradley is a Chartered Accountant with 15 years’ experience in the resources industry based in Perth and London. Mr Bradley is Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of Agrimin Limited (ASX: AMN). Prior to this Mr Bradley worked as a Resources Analyst covering a broad range of companies. He is experienced in capital markets, financial modelling, marketing and compliance.

Mr Bradley currently has no directorships with ASX listed companies other than his directorship with the Company.

The Board considers that Mr Bradley will not, if re-elected, qualify as an independent Director due to his role of Company Secretary.

The Board (other than Mr Bradley who has a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) supports the re-election of Mr Bradley as a Director.

3. Resolution 3 – Appointment of Auditor at AGM to Fill Vacancy

Section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act provides that if a vacancy occurs in the office of auditor of a public company the directors must within 1 month appoint an auditor to fill the vacancy. Section 327C(2) of the Corporations Act provides that an auditor so appointed holds office until the Company’s next annual general meeting.

As announced by the Company to ASX on 19 April 2024, BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO Audit) was appointed as auditor of the Company. The appointment follows the

Page 9 of 18

resignation of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ( BDO WA ) and ASIC’s consent to the resignation in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act. The change of auditor arose as a result of BDO WA restructuring its audit practice whereby audits will be conducted by BDO Audit, an authorised audit company, rather than BDO WA.

Under section 327(C)(2) of the Corporations Act BDO Audit retires at the Annual General Meeting. As BDO Audit is eligible for election as auditor of the Company as and from the Annual General Meeting, Resolution 3 proposes the election of BDO Audit as auditor of the Company.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor, subject to Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the appointment of BDO Audit Pty Ltd as the Company’s auditor will take effect from the close of the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for BDO Audit Pty Ltd to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Explanatory Statement as Annexure A.

The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 3 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. Resolution 4 – Increase of Non-Executive Director Fee Pool

==> picture [15 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Background

The Company was admitted to the S&P/ ASX 300 in September 2024. As a result of this inclusion the Company must comply with Listing Rule 12.7 and 12.8 regarding recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, specifically in relation to paragraph (a) of recommendation 4.1 regarding an audit committee and paragraph (a) of recommendation 8.1 regarding a remuneration committee. Accordingly, to effect changes to accommodate these requirements, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to increase the aggregate limit on director’s fees payable to non-executive directors of the Company.

Clause 14.8 of the Constitution requires that the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate of Directors fees for non-executive Directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary shares.

The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive Directors is currently set at $400,000 as per the Shareholder approval obtained at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive Directors by $100,000 to $500,000.

Page 10 of 18

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will have an increased non-executive Directors fees pool of $500,000 which will increase the Company’s ability to retain existing non-executive Directors and to attract additional non-executive Directors.

If Resolution 4 is not passed this will not affect the proposed remuneration of the current non-executive Directors for the current financial year but in the long term this may affect the Company’s ability to retain existing non-executive Directors and to attract additional non-executive Directors.

==> picture [17 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Addition information required by Listing Rule 10.17

The total amount of Directors’ fees payable includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive Directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits on a pre-tax basis. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, or securities issues to a non-executive Director under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the Company’s Shareholders.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, set out below are details of all securities issued to non-executive directors under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with Shareholder approval at any time in the preceding 3 years:

Name Number and type of Securities Approval
date
Listing
Rule
Tom Lyons 650,000 options 7 November
2022
10.11

The Company proposes to pay existing non-executive Directors a total of $217,425 in Directors’ fees for the 30 June 2025 financial year including superannuation.

The total aggregate fixed sum per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice of Meeting.

Due to the Directors’ interest in this Resolution, the Directors make no recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 4. The Chair intends to direct all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

5. Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares

==> picture [14 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Background

The Company announced to ASX on 18 January 2024 a placement of 4,000,000 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $10.00 per Share ( Placement ) ( Placement Shares ).

Page 11 of 18

The Placement completed on 25 January 2024 and the Placement Shares were issued on that date under the Company’s placement capacity afforded under Listing Rule 7.1.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as sole Lead Manger to the Placement. MST Financial Services Pty Ltd and Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as CoManagers to the Placement.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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. To this end, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity 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 issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity 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 issue date.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The Company announced to ASX on 11 July 2024 a placement of 3,529,412 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $17.00 per Share ( July Placement ) ( July Placement Shares ).

The July Placement completed on 18 July 2024 and the July Placement Shares were issued on that date under the Company’s July Placement capacity afforded under Listing Rule 7.1.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the July Placement.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the July Placement Shares.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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. To this end, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the July Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the July Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% July Placement capacity 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 issue date.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the July Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% July Placement capacity 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 issue date.
