3.1 Background
On 31 March 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors of the Company to raise $520,000 (before costs) via a placement of 14,444,444 Shares at an issue price of $0.036 each ( Placement ).
The Placement was supported by commitments of $55,000 (representing 1,527,778 Shares) from Directors and, and substantial shareholder, the Oceanic Group. The issue of Shares to these parties was subject to Shareholder approval.
The first tranche of the Placement was completed on 8 April 2025 via the issue of 12,627,778 Shares under the Company’s using its annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual limit approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting, without the need for Shareholder approval, to the Placement Participants, raising $454,600 (before costs). Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the issue of these Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Shareholder approval for substantial shareholder, the Oceanic Group, to participate in the Placement for $50,400 worth of Shares (representing 1,400,000 Shares) is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3.
Commitments totalling $10,000 from non-related parties under the Placement (representing 277,778 Shares) were not received prior to completion of the first Placement tranche and are not expected to be received. Accordingly, it is proposed that the Directors subscribe for these Shares in addition to the Director commitments already received, so the full $520,000 (before costs) is raised under the Placement. Accordingly, the proposed Director participation in the Placement is as follows:
-
(a) Non-Executive Director, Peter Michael (or his nominees) - $5,000 (138,889 Shares);
-
(b) Non-Executive Director, John Ciganek (or his nominees) - $3,333 (92,593 Shares);
-
(c) Non-Executive Director, Pedro Kastellorizos (or his nominees) - $3,333 (92,593 Shares); and
-
(d) Non-Executive Chairman, Peter Lewis (or his nominees) - $$3,333 (92,593 Shares).
Shareholder approval for the above Director participation in the Placement is sought pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 7.
Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as lead manager to the Placement and was entitled to receive capital raising fees of 6% on the proceeds raised under the Placement. It was also agreed that the Company would grant Bell Potter Securities Limited (or its nominees) 5,000,000 Broker Options, subject to Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval for the issue of such Broker Options is being sought pursuant to Resolution 8.
Funds raised from the Placement has or will be used for exploration activities at the Julimar West Project and the New Norcia Project, including the below activities, and for general working capital purposes:
9
-
(a) Julimar West Project: Further exploration and metallurgical test work programs, commence a scoping study and begin discussions with landowners to secure access rights over the existing bauxite deposit.
-
(b) New Norcia Project: Complete further vacuum drilling on delineating the lateral and depth extent of the gallium mineralisation with a view to producing a JORC compliant mineral resource.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 12,104,047 Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 523,731 Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the prior issue of Shares to the Placement Participants will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the prior issue of Shares to the Placement Participants will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

In respect of Resolutions 4 to 7, the Board (with the Director who has a material personal interest in the Resolution regarding the issue of securities to them abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Shares issued to the non-related Placement Participants and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
5.3
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
- (a) a related party;
13
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in a Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
Each of Mr Michael, Mr Lewis, Mr Kastellorizos and Mr Ciganek’s participation in the Placement falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4 to 7 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares to the Directors under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to the Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of such Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of such Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to the Directors and the additional $15,000 that would be raised via the participation of the Directors in the Placement will not be raised.
Resolutions 4 to 7 are ordinary resolutions.
5.5 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 416,666 Shares.
-
(b) The Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees), each of whom is a related party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director, as follows:
(i) Non-Executive Director, Peter Michael (or his nominees) - 138,889 Shares pursuant to Resolution 4; (ii) Non-Executive Chairman, Peter Lewis (or his nominees) – 92,593 Shares pursuant to Resolution 5; and
14
-
(iii) Non-Executive Director, Pedro Kastellorizos (or his nominees) – 92,593 Shares pursuant to Resolution 6; and
-
(iv) Non-Executive Director, John Ciganek (or his nominees) – 92,593 Shares pursuant to Resolution 7.
-
(c) The Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date.
-
(d) The Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.036 each, being on the same terms as Shares issued to the Placement Participants.
-
(e) The purpose of the issue is to allow each of the Directors to participate in the Placement and to raise an additional $15,000 (before costs) for the Company. The funds will be aggregated with and used for the same purposes as funds raised under the Placement (refer to Section 3.1 for further details).
-
(f) The Shares to be issued are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Michael, Mr Lewis, Mr Kastellorizos or Ciganek.
-
(g) The relevant interests of the Directors in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice and if Resolutions 4 to 7 are approved by Shareholders, is shown below:

7. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PRIORITY OPTION OFFER OPTIONS
7.1 Background
On 7 April 2025 the Company announced that it was undertaking:
-
(a) pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) New Option every four (4) Shares held by eligible shareholders registered at the record date at an issue price of $0.001 per New Option to raise up to approximately $34,460 ( Entitlement Offer ); and
-
(b) pro-rata offer of one (1) New Option for every one (1) unquoted WYXAF option held by eligible optionholders registered at the record date at an issue price of $0.001 per New Option to raise up to approximately a further $44,892, subject to shareholder approval ( Priority Option Offer ).
Based on the Company’s securities on issue as at the date of announcing the Entitlement Offer and the Priority Option Offer (collectively, the Offers ), a total of approximately 79,352,183 New Options were offered under the Offers, comprising approximately 34,459,714 New Options under the Entitlement Offer and 44,892,469 New Options under the Priority Option Offer.
Funds raised from the Offers were to be used for the expenses of the Offers and for general working capital purposes. Further details in relation to the Offers are detailed in the Company’s prospectus dated 7 April 2025.
On 7 May 2025 the Company announced that it had accepted applications for New Options from eligible securityholders for a total of 53,932,767 New Options under the Offers, comprising 20,798,996 New Options under the Entitlement Offer raising $20,799 (before costs) and 33,133,771 New Options under the Priority Option Offer raising $33,134 (before costs).
The 20,798,996 New Options taken up under the Entitlement Offer were issued by the Company on 7 May 2025 in reliance on Exception 1 under Listing Rule 7.2, without the need for
17
Shareholder approval. The Company also sought and was granted quotation of the New Options on the Official List under the ASX code “WYXO” commencing on 9 May 2025.
New Options not taken up under the Entitlement Offer and the Priority Option Offer form a shortfall of New Options ( Shortfall ), which the Company reserved the right to place by 30 July 2025 (being 3 months after the date the Offers closed) on the same terms as offered to eligible securityholders under the Offers.
The Shortfall under the Entitlement Offer (comprising 13,591,169 New Options) will be placed by the Company in reliance on Exception 3 under Listing Rule 7.2, without the need for Shareholder approval. The Shortfall under the Priority Option Offer (comprising 11,758,698 New Options) will be placed subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 9 ( Shortfall Offer ).
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 9 to issue New Options pursuant to the Priority Option Offer (comprising up to 44,892,469 New Options) to eligible securityholders under the Priority Option Offer and parties invited to participate in the Shortfall Offer.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to grant the New Options pursuant to the Priority Option Offer and the Shortfall Offer under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of up to 44,892,469 New Options under the Priority Option Offer and the Shortfall Offer. In addition, the grant of such New Options 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 9 is not passed then the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of the New Options pursuant to the Priority Option Offer or the Shortfall Option Offer, and applications for 33,133,771 New Options under the Priority Option Offer raising $33,134 will need to be refunded to applicants.
Resolution 9 is an ordinary resolution.
7.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The New Options will be issued to eligible securityholders who applied for New Options under the Priority Option Offer and parties invited to participate in the Shortfall Offer (who will be identified through a bookbuild process with parties who expressed interest to participate in the Shortfall Offer, excluding any parties for which further Shareholder approvals are required for the issue pursuant to the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act).
-
(b) The maximum number of securities the Company may grant is 44,892,469 New Options, comprising 33,133,771 New Options pursuant to the Priority Option Offer and 11,758, 698 New Options pursuant to the Shortfall Offer.
