NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Todd River Resources Limited (the Company ) will be held at Quest Innaloo, 1 Sunray Drive, Innaloo WA 6018 on 20 October 2020 at 11.00am (WST) (the Meeting).

The Explanatory Memorandum to this Notice provides additional information on matters to be considered at the Meeting. The Explanatory Memorandum and the Proxy Form form part of this Notice.

The Directors have determined pursuant to regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered as Shareholders on 18 October 2020 (being 2 days prior to the date of the meeting) at 4.00pm (WST).

Terms and abbreviations used in this Notice and the Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Schedule 1.

COVID-19 Information

In light of the easing of restrictions on gatherings in Western Australia, it is currently anticipated that the Meeting will be held in person (and not by virtual means). The Company has taken steps to ensure that all attendees will be able to participate in the Meeting while maintaining their health and safety and abiding by social distancing requirements.

Shareholders do not need to attend the Meeting in order to cast their vote(s). The Company therefore recommends that Shareholders who do not wish to attend the Meeting in person, but who wish to vote, appoint the Chairman as their proxy (and where desired, direct the Chairman how to vote on a Resolution) rather than attending in person.

If the Meeting cannot be held in person, the Company will make additional arrangements as required.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Quest Innaloo, 1 Sunray Drive, Innaloo WA 6018 on 20 October 2020 at 11.00am (WST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. This Explanatory Memorandum includes information to assist Shareholders in deciding how to vote on each of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

Part A – Financial and Other Reports

Annual Report

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, the Directors' Report, and the Auditor's Report.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at https://www.trrltd.com.au/;

  • (b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Company’s auditor about:

  • (a) the content of the Auditor’s Report; and

  • (b) the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

Resolution 1 – Adopt Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that listed companies put a Remuneration Report relating to director and executive remuneration for each financial year to a resolution of members at their annual general meeting. The Remuneration Report is included in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s Annual Report.

Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Accordingly, this Resolution is advisory only and, if this Resolution is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements set out in the Remuneration Report.

However, in accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2020 Annual General Meeting and then again at the 2021 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution at the 2021 Annual General Meeting proposing the calling of a further general meeting to consider the election of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

8

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of a Spill Resolution, the Company would be required to convene a further general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the 2021 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2021 Directors’ Report was approved by the Directors (other than the Managing Director) would cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may, if eligible, stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved would (together with the Managing Director) be the Directors of the Company.

Key management personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, and their Closely Related Parties, are prohibited from voting on this Resolution, except in the circumstances described in the voting exclusion set out in the Notice.

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

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

9

Part B – Election of Directors

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Edward Fry

Resolution 2 seeks the re-election of Mr Edward Fry as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Fry was first appointed as a Director of the Company on 4 April 2017.

Mr Fry is required to retire in accordance with Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution. Article 6.3(c) provides that at the Annual General Meeting in every year, if the Company has more than three directors, one-third of the Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number and excluding the Managing Director and any Directors who must retire pursuant to Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution) must retire from office. Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires under Article 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.

Mr Fry has extensive experience within the Australian resource sector and is a specialist in Indigenous and Native Title issues. He holds a Diploma in Business Management from the University of South Australia and is a graduate of the International Lead and Zinc Study Group conducted out of Belgium on international base metal global supply and demand trade.

Based in Adelaide, Mr Fry is a former director of TNG Ltd. He is an Executive Director of Gimbulki Resources Pty Ltd, a Native Title land access company he established in 2002 which has provided consulting services to a range of Australian exploration and mining companies including Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, and Transfield Services.

During his career he also held senior executive roles with Normandy Mining Ltd, where he established the company’s Traditional Owner policy, and later was manager of international logistics and marketing of ‐ Normandy’s base metal portfolio.

Mr Fry is Chairman of Indigenous Business Australia, Chair of the Indigenous Land Corporation, Chair of the Indigenous Advisory Board at Ventia (formerly Broadspectrum, since 2010), and a Deputy Chair of the Aboriginal Foundation of South Australia (since 2007).

The Board considers that Mr Fry’s independence has not been impaired during his tenure and that therefore, if re-elected, Mr Fry will qualify as an independent Non-Executive Director.

Being eligible, Mr Fry offers himself for re-election as a Non-Executive Director.

Directors’ recommendation

After appropriate consideration, and taking into account his past performance, contributions to the Company and the current and future needs of the Board and the Company, the Board’s members (excluding Mr Fry) unanimously resolved that Mr Fry’s distinct set of skills and experience, including as stated above, are of obvious and on-going benefit to the Board.

The Board (other than Mr Fry, who abstains) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Election of Mr Ian Murray

Resolution 3 seeks the election of Mr Ian Murray as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Murray was first appointed as a Director of the Company by the Directors on 2 September 2020 following completion of the acquisition of Marlee Base Metals Pty Ltd and is a nominee director of Marlee Minerals Pty Ltd (a substantial shareholder of the Company).

Mr Murray is required to retire in accordance with Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution. Article 6.3(j) provides that a Director appointed by the Directors must retire at the first annual general meeting of the Company following their appointment and is eligible for re-election.

Mr Murray is a qualified Chartered Accountant and former Chair and Managing Director/CEO of Gold Road Resources Ltd. Under Mr Murray’s leadership, Gold Road discovered the Gruyere Gold Deposit and grew its market capitalisation from approximately $5M to >$1Bn. Mr Murray is currently executive chairman at Matador Mining Ltd (ASX:MZZ) and a non-executive director of Blackrock Mining (ASX:BKT) and Geopacific Resources Ltd (ASX: GPR).

10

The Board considers that Mr Murray, if elected, will not qualify as an independent director of the Company given that he is a shareholder and director of Marlee Minerals Pty Ltd. Marlee Minerals Pty Ltd became a substantial Shareholder of the Company upon completion of the acquisition of Marlee Base Metals Pty Ltd which occurred on 2 September 2020 (see the Company’s announcement dated 2 September 2020).

Other than in relation to Mr Murray’s position as a director of a substantial Shareholder of the Company, the Company is not aware of any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect, Mr Murray’s capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual shareholder or other party.

The Company confirms that in relation to Mr Murray, the Company has conducted appropriate checks into Mr Murray’s background and experience which have not revealed any information of concern.

Being eligible, Mr Murray offers himself for election as a Non-Executive Director.

Directors’ recommendation

After appropriate consideration, and taking into account his past performance, contributions to the Company and the current and future needs of the Board and the Company, the Board’s members (excluding Mr Murray) unanimously resolved that Mr Murray’s distinct set of skills and experience, including as stated above, are of obvious and on-going benefit to the Board.

The Board (other than Mr Murray, who abstains) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Part C – Issues of securities pursuant to the August Placement

August Placement background

On 17 August 2020 the Company announced to ASX that it had secured firm commitments to raise approximately A$4.0 million (before costs) through a placement of up to approximately 136 million Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share to qualified sophisticated and professional investors (the August Placement ).

On 24 August 2020, the Company announced to ASX that all Shares to be issued under Tranche 1 of the August Placement had been issued. Those Tranche 1 Shares consisted of: (i) 36,060,080 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity ( August 7.1 Placement ); and (ii) 24,577,690 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity ( August 7.1A Placement ) (together, the Tranche 1 Issue ).

Tranche 2 of the August Placement (up to approximately 75.4 million Shares) is subject to Shareholder approval, which the Company is seeking under Resolutions 6 to 8.

Participants in the August Placement (under both Tranches 1 and 2) will also receive one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares issued under the August Placement, with each Option to be exercisable at 6.0 cents with an expiry date of 2 years from the date of issue. The issue of Options is subject to Shareholder approval (which the Company is seeking under Resolutions 6 to 8) and, if approved, will result in the issue of up to approximately 68 million Options.

The Company’s Managing Director William Dix and Non-Executive Director Ian Murray (through their respective nominees) have each subscribed for Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement (and will therefore each receive free attaching Options). The issues of Shares and Options to Mr Dix and Mr Murray are each subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, which the Company is seeking under Resolutions 7 and 8.

Hartleys acted as lead manager to the August Placement and Hartleys (or its nominee) will be issued a total of 10,000,000 Options as partial payment for those services, subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting, which the Company is seeking under Resolution 9.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

11

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 13 November 2019 which means that the Company had this additional placement capacity available to it in relation to the issue of Shares under the August 7.1A Placement. The Listing Rules provide that issues made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be ratified.

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.

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Ratification of issues of Shares

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Part C for information about the August Placement and Listing Rule 7.1.

The Tranche 1 Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up part of the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

Under Resolutions 4 and 5, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of Shares under the Tranche 1 Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible (under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A) to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the Tranche 1 Issue:

  • (a) The Shares were issued to qualified sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. Some of the placees were existing Shareholders of the Company and the others were introduced to the Company by Hartleys Limited, the lead manager of the August Placement.

  • (b) The total number of securities issued pursuant to the August 7.1 Placement was 36,060,080 Shares. The total number of securities issued pursuant to the August 7.1A Placement was 24,577,690 Shares.

  • (c) The Shares were issued on the same terms as the other Shares on issue.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Resolutions 7 and 8 – Issue of Shares and Options to Directors

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Part C for information about the August Placement.

The Company’s Managing Director William Dix has subscribed (through his nominee) for 833,333 shares (and 416,666 Options) under Tranche 2 of the August Placement and Non-Executive Director Ian Murray (through his nominee) has subscribed for 1,666,667 Shares (and 833,334 Options) under Tranche 2 of the

13

August Placement (together the Proposed Director Issues ). The Proposed Director Issues are each subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting, pursuant to 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 (among others) a related party or an associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of a related party unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.,

The Proposed Director Issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 7 and 8 seek the required Shareholder approval to the Proposed Director Issues under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If those Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Director Issues which will allow the Company to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.

If those resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Director Issues and the Company will not be able to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Proposed Director Issues:

  • (a) The persons to acquire Shares and Options under the Proposed Director Issues are Mr William Dix and Mr Ian Murray (or their respective nominees). Mr Dix is the Managing Director of the Company, and Mr Murray is a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

  • (b) Mr Dix and Mr Murray fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1, being Directors of the Company. Their nominees (if applicable) would fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4, being associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the above mentioned Directors.

  • (c) The number of Shares and Options that may be acquired by each Director (or their nominees) under the Proposed Director Issues pursuant to each Resolution is, in the case of Mr Dix, 833,333 Shares and 416,666 Options (exercisable up to 416,666 Shares), and in the case of Mr Murray, 1,666,667 Shares and 833,334 Options (exercisable up to 833,334 Shares).

  • (d) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Options will be issued at a nil issue price, with an exercise price of $0.06 with an expiry date of 2 years from the date of issue. Further terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 2.

  • (e) Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Shares and Options will be issued progressively following receipt of subscription funds and no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).

  • (f) The Shares will be issued at $0.03 per share. The Options will be issued on the basis of one free attaching Option for every two Shares issued to the relevant Director under the Proposed Director Issues.

  • (g) Funds raised under the August Placement will be used: (i) to carry out geophysics and drilling programs at the Nanutarra Ni-Cu-PGE Project; (ii) to carry out Ni-Cu-PGE and gold exploration at the Berkshire Valley Project in Western Australia (100km north of the exciting Chalice Gold (ASX:CHN) Julimar discovery) that the Company has now acquired through the acquisition of Marlee Base Metals Pty Ltd and Moonknight Pty Ltd; (iii) to advance the Petermann Range Project where Exploration Agreement negotiations for land access are almost complete; and (iv) for general working capital purposes. The Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the Options under the Proposed Director Issues. However, if all Options are ultimately exercised, the Company will raise $75,000 (before costs) and the Company intends to use such funds towards further development of the Company’s projects and for general working capital purposes.

  • (h) The Proposed Director Issues are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Dix or Mr Murray. The Proposed Director Issues are on the same terms as the rest of the August Placement, except that they are subject to approval under Listing Rule 10.11 (and not Listing Rule 7.1) at the Meeting.

  • (i) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of this arrangement.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement in respect of each of Resolutions 7 and 8 are set out in the Notice.

14

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than William Dix and Ian Murray who abstain) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 and 8.

Resolution 9 – Issue of Options to Hartleys Limited

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Part C for information about the August Placement and Listing Rule 7.1.

As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 17 August 2020, Hartleys Limited ( Hartleys ) acted as lead manager to the August Placement and as part of Hartleys’ fees for acting in that capacity, the Company will issue to Zenix Nominees Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Hartleys), 10,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.06 and an expiry date of 2 years from the date of issue subject to Shareholder approval being obtained ( Hartleys Issue ). The Hartleys Issue requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the Hartleys Issue, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Hartleys Issue can proceed and will comprise part of Hartleys’ fees for acting as lead manager of the August Placement. In addition, if approved the Hartleys 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Hartleys Issue will not occur and the Company will discuss with Hartleys the most appropriate way to provide that part of Hartleys’ fees for acting as lead manager of the August Placement by other means (which may include a separate cash payment to Hartleys or a new offer of securities that is not subject to shareholder approval).

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Hartleys Issue:

  • (a) Up to 10,000,000 Options will be issued to Zenix Nominees Pty Ltd (which is not a related party of the Company).

  • (b) The Options will be issued at a nil issue price, with an exercise price of $0.06 with an expiry date of 2 years from the date of issue. Further terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 2.

  • (c) Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Options will be issued in one parcel no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).

  • (d) The Options will be issued as partial payment for Hartleys’ services to the Company as lead manager of the August Placement. Hartleys will also receive a fee (in cash) equal to 6% (plus GST) of the funds raised under the August Placement (of which approximately $120,000 was paid on completion of Tranche 1 of the August Placement with approximately $144,000 owing on completion of Tranche 2 of the August Placement).

  • (e) The Company will not raise any funds from the Hartleys Issue as the Options will be issued as part of Hartleys’ fees for acting as lead manager of the August Placement. If all of the Options issued under the Hartleys Issue are ultimately exercised, the Company will raise $600,000 (before costs) and the Company intends to use such funds towards further development of the Company’s projects and for general working capital purposes.

  • (f) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of this arrangement in respect of the August Placement. The Company’s engagement of Hartleys will continue until February 2021 (unless extended). The engagement is subject to standard commercial terms and includes payment of a fee of 6% (plus GST) in cash on the gross amount raised in respect of equity or hybrid capital raisings during the term.

  • (g)

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

Part D – 10% Placement Facility

Resolution 10 – Approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Part C for information about Listing Rule 7.1.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10%, to 25%.

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Facility ).

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval. If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will be valid from the date of the Meeting to the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued for a cash consideration per security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAMP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility to raise funds towards acquisitions of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions or repayment of debt drawn down to fund such acquisitions), for capital expenditure on the Company’s current assets, for continued exploration and development of its current projects and/or for general working capital.

  • (d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders at the Meeting and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ economic interest may be diluted if the Equity Securities are issued at a discount. Further, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted by up to 9.09% if all of the Listing Rule 7.1A capacity is used. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of Shareholder approval at the Meeting; and

16

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities and also on the Company’s Share price post issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current Share price and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (iii) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlement offer or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders at this Meeting or at future Shareholder meetings; and

  • (iv) two examples where the issue price of Shares has changed – in one example it has decreased by 50% and in another it has increased by 50% against the current Share price (which, for the purposes of this table, is $0.047 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX as at 14 September 2020)

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) In each case, an issue of the maximum number of Shares under the 10% Placement Facility would dilute the Shareholders as at the date immediately prior to the issue by up to 9.09%. For example, based on the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice, existing Shareholders would have 407,221,128 votes out of a total postissue number of 447,943,240 Shares, representing 90.91% of the post-issue total number of shares (or a dilution of 9.09%) if all Resolutions are passed and all issued Shares are included in the calculation of Variable A.

  • (iii) The table does not show the economic dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder’s shareholding by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares (although the Company also has Options on issue as at the date of this Notice).

  • (vi) The base issue price is assumed to be $0.047 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 September 2020.

17

  • (vii) The issue price is assumed to be the current Share price as at 14 September 2020 of $0.047 (rather than being based on the 15 trading day VWAMP).

  • (viii) No Options are exercised before the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy for issues of new Shares under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to, without limitation, the following factors:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate and other forms of equity and debt financing;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Any potential allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of a related party of the Company.

  • (f) The total number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting (as at 14 September 2020) is 24,577,690 representing 11.6% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

  • (g) Set out below are the details of all Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting (as at 14 September 2020):

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

Part E – Issue of Shares to Cratonix Pty Ltd

Resolution 11 – Issue of Shares to Cratonix Pty Ltd

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Part C for information about Listing Rule 7.1.

On 4 October 2019, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Todd River Metals Pty Ltd ( TRM ), had entered into an Option to Farm-in Agreement ( Farm-in Agreement ) over Exploration Licence E08/9242 with Cratonix Pty Ltd ( Cratonix ).

Under the Farm-in Agreement (among other things), TRM was granted a tenement option for an exclusive 12-month period over E08/9242 ( Tenement Option ). On exercise of the Tenement Option TRM can earn an 80% interest in the tenement by spending A$2,000,000 on exploration costs over an exclusive 3 year earnin period. The Tenement Option expires on 20 November 2020.

The consideration payable to Cratonix on exercise of the Tenement Option is the issue to Cratonix (subject to shareholder approval) of Shares to the value of $25,000 at an issue price equivalent to 80% of the 5-day VWAMP of Shares before the day on which the issue is made ( Cratonix Issue ). Further information about the Farm-in Agreement is set out in the Company’s announcement dated 4 October 2019.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the Cratonix Issue, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, to the extent the Board decides to exercise the Tenement Option (which as at the date of this Notice it has not yet determined).

If this Resolution is passed (and TRM exercises the Tenement Option), the Cratonix Issue can proceed and will comprise all of the consideration payable to Cratonix on exercise of the Tenement Option. In addition, if approved, the Cratonix 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 this Resolution is not passed, but TRM ultimately exercises the Tenement Option, the Cratonix Issue will not occur and TRM may elect to pay a sum of A$25,000 to Cratonix in lieu of the Cratonix Issue or forfeit its right to earn an 80% interest in the tenement (and the Farm-in Agreement will subsequently terminate).

As the issue price under the Tenement Option is variable, and there is no floor price or maximum share cap, the Cratonix Issue could be highly dilutive to existing Shareholders if the market price of Shares falls substantially over the period up to the date of issue. However, while the Board recognises that this is theoretically possible, given the subscription amount is A$25,000, it is unlikely that Shareholders will be materially diluted as a result of the Cratonix Issue even if the market price of Shares falls substantially.

Set out below are worked examples (for illustration purposes only) showing how the issue price formula will operate in practice under different issue price assumptions. As at 14 September 2020, the Company’s highest and lowest Share price over the last 12 months was $0.05 and $0.008 respectively.

The Company confirms that as far as it is aware and based on the substantial holder notices lodged with the Company up to and including the date of the Notice, Cratonix is not a substantial Shareholder of the Company.

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Cratonix Issue:

  • (a) The Shares will be issued to Cratonix and the number of shares will be determined as set out above.

  • (b) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

  • (c) Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Shares will be issued in one parcel no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).

  • (d) The Shares will be issued as the consideration payable to Cratonix on exercise of the Tenement Option.

  • (e) The purpose of the Cratonix Issue is to pay consideration (valued at A$25,000) to Cratonix on exercise of the Tenement Option. The Company will not raise any funds from the Cratonix Issue but will become entitled to earn an 80% interest in exploration licence E08/9242 on the terms described above.

  • (f) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of this arrangement.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.

Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

Proxies

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy, or the Chairman is appointed as your proxy by default, please note that the Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies held by him, and which are able to be voted, in favour of all Resolutions.

Voting prohibition by proxy holders

To the extent required by section 250BD of the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, on Resolution 1 if the person is either a member of a Group Company’s key management personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member and the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the relevant Resolution. However, the proxy may vote if the proxy is the Chairman and the appointment expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of a Group Company’s key management personnel.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form (including via an online facility), you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of a Group Company's key management personnel.
