EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - APPROVAL TO CHANGE COMPANY NAME

2.1 Background

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to “Western Yilgarn NL”. The Company also proposes to change its ASX ticker from ‘PBX’ to ‘WYX’ to reflect this change, and has reserved the new ticker with ASX.

The Board proposes this change of name on the basis that it believes the proposed name more accurately reflects the Company’s business operations.

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC and if Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

Pursuant to section 157(1),a change in Company name can only be effected by way of a special resolution passed by its Shareholders. Therefore, this Resolution can only be passed if at least 75% of the total votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on this Resolution are voted in its favour.

2.2 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
