EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on 25 June 2025 at Suite 9, 110 Hay Street, Subiaco.
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.
Background to Resolutions 1 to 5
Placement
On 15 May 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from Australian and overseas sophisticated and institutional investors (including certain Directors of the Company) to raise approximately $1,000,000 (before costs) through a share placement of 4,000,000,000 Shares in two tranches at an issue price of $0.00025 per Share ( Placement ).
Tranche 1
Completion of Tranche 1 of the Placement occurred on 19 May 2025 and resulted in the Company raising $71,000 (before costs). Shares issued under Tranche 1 of the Placement consisted of 284,000,000 Shares which were issued out of the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the Tranche 1 Issue ).
Tranche 2
Tranche 2 of the Placement relates to the issue of Shares to Australian and overseas sophisticated and institutional investors outside the Company’s placement capacity, and to certain Directors, each of which requires Shareholder approval. Subject to Shareholder approval being received, Tranche 2 will result in the issue of a further 3,716,000,000 Shares to raise $929,000 (before costs). It is the Company’s intention to issue the Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement before implementation of the share consolidation the subject of Resolution 6.
A table setting out the specific details of each tranche of the Placement is set out below:
| Description | Number of Shares issued/to be issued | Funds raised/to be raised (before costs) |
|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 284,000,000 issued on 19 May 2025 | $71,000 raised |
| Tranche 2 | 3,716,000,000 to be issued | $929,000 to be raised |
| Total | 4,000,000,000 | $1,000,000 |
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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.
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.
Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Shares pursuant to Tranche 1 of the Placement
Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information about the Placement and Listing Rules 7.1.
Shareholder approval sought
The issue of the Shares pursuant to the Tranche 1 Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has utilised part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, 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 Rules 7.1) to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 (and its combined 25% limit when including available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A), increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and (as some of the capacity to issue further securities will have been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, then the Company’s capacity to issue further securities will continue to be restricted to the extent the relevant Resolution is not approved.
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 Australian and overseas sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. Some of the investors were existing Shareholders of the Company and the others were introduced to the Company by the Directors. The participants in the Placement included DG Resources Management Ltd ( DGRM ), a substantial Shareholder and also the Company’s largest Shareholder (which held 265,240,000 Shares (with associates) prior to completion of the Tranche 1 Issue, representing approximately 13.75% of the Shares on issue before completion of the Tranche 1 Issue). DGRM subscribed for 175,000,000 Shares under the Tranche 1 Issue and, subsequently, DGRM’s voting power in the Company following completion of the Tranche 1 Issue increased to approximately 19.90%. However, if Tranche 2 of the Placement is approved and all Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement are issued, DGRM’s voting power will decrease to approximately 7.43%. Other than as disclosed above, none of the Shares under the Tranche 1 Issue were issued to related parties of the Company, a member of the Company’s key management personnel, a substantial shareholder of the Company, an advisor to the entity or any associates of those persons. The total number of securities issued pursuant to the Tranche 1 Issue was 284,000,000 Shares (Resolution 1).
-
(b) The Shares were issued on 19 May 2025.
-
(c) The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.00025 per Share.
-
(d) Funds raised are intended to be used towards further exploration on the Company’s existing projects, the assessment of potential value accretive opportunities, and for general working capital purposes.
-
(e) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Tranche 1 Issue.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement in respect of each of Resolution 1 is set out in the Notice.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares pursuant to Tranche 2 of the Placement to investors
Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information about the Placement and Listing Rule 7.1.
Under this Resolution, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 3,496,000,000 Shares to certain sophisticated and institutional investors that participated in the Placement under Listing Rule 7.1 so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of securities by the Company in the next 12 months.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to investors and the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will not be able to raise any funds under the Placement.
Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:
-
(a) Shares will be issued to certain sophisticated or institutional investors, each of whom were introduced to the Company by the Directors and expressed an interest in participating in the Placement. None of these investors are related parties of the Company, substantial shareholders, members of key management personnel, advisors or associates of those persons who are being issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital.
-
(b) Up to 3,496,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company may be issued under Resolution 2.
-
(c) The Shares will be issued as soon as practicable and before the proposed share consolidation the subject of Resolution 6 is implemented. In any event, the Shares will be issued within 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
-
(d) The Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.00025.
-
(e) Funds raised under the Placement will be used for further exploration on the Company’s existing projects, the assessment of potential value accretive opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolutions 3 to 5 – Issue of Shares to Directors under Tranche 2 of the Placement
Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information about the Placement.
The following Directors (or their nominees) have subscribed for Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement (together the Director Placement Issues ), subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.
| Director | Subscription Shares | Subscription amount |
|---|---|---|
| Mr William Dix (Managing Director) | 140,000,000 | $35,000 |
| Mr Peretz Schapiro (Non-Executive Director) |
40,000,000 | $10,000 |
| Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow (Non- Executive Director) |
40,000,000 | $10,000 |
| TOTAL | 220,000,000 | $55,000 |
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 Director Placement 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.
Shareholder approval sought
Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to the Director Placement 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 Director Placement 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 Director Placement 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 Director Placement Issues:
-
(a) The persons to acquire Shares under the Director Placement Issues are Mr William Dix, Mr Peretz Schapiro and Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow (or their respective nominees). Mr Dix is the Managing Director of the Company, Mr Schapiro and Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow are both NonExecutive Directors of the Company.
-
(b) Mr Dix, Mr Schapiro and Mr Crow 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 that may be acquired by each Director (or their nominees) under the Director Placement Issues pursuant to each Resolution is, in the case of:
-
(i) Mr Dix, 140,000,000 Shares;
-
(ii) Mr Schapiro, 40,000,000 Shares; and
-
(iii) Mr Crow, 40,000,000 Shares.
-
(d) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
-
(e) Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Shares will be issued in full following receipt of subscription funds and before the proposed share consolidation the subject of Resolution 6 is implemented. In any event, the Shares will be no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).
-
(f) The Shares will be issued at $0.00025 per Share.
-
(g) Funds raised are intended to be used for further exploration on the Company’s existing projects, the assessment of potential value accretive opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
-
(h) The Director Placement Issues will be paid for by Mr Dix, Mr Schapiro and Mr Crow with their own funds and are not issued to remunerate or incentivise Mr Dix, Mr Schapiro or Mr Crow. The Director Placement Issues are on the same terms as the rest of the Placement, except that they are subject to approval under Listing Rule 10.11 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 5, 6 and 7 are set out in the Notice.
If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Board Recommendation
The Board does not make a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of how to vote on Resolutions 3 to 5 given that those Resolutions relate to the issue of securities to current Directors.
Resolution 6 – Consolidation of capital
Purpose of the Consolidation
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution which proposes that the issued shares of the Company be altered by consolidating them on a 1 for 127 basis ( Consolidation ). The Board is proposing the Consolidation for the following reasons:
-
(a) the Company currently has approximately 2,212,652,291 Shares on issue (which will increase to approximately 5,928,652,291 Shares on issue if Resolutions 2 to 5 are passed at the Meeting) which represents a relatively large number when compared to its peer group listed on the ASX; and
-
(b) the Consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company which may be more attractive to a wider range of investors and financiers.
If Shareholder approval if obtained, the Consolidation would take place on 7 July 2025 following completion of Tranche 2 of the Placement.
Section 254H of the Corporations Act
Section 254H of the Corporations Act enables a company to convert all of its shares into a smaller number of shares by a resolution passed at a general meeting. Article 2.4 of the Constitution also provides that the Company may by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares.
Effect of the Consolidation
The Consolidation will reduce the number of existing securities on issue (as all of the Company’s securities will be consolidated on a 1 for 127 basis). For example, a Shareholder currently holding 100,000 Shares will, as a result of the Consolidation, hold 787 Shares, and an Optionholder currently holding 100,000 Options will, as a result of the Consolidation, hold 787 Options (with the exercise price to be adjusted as described further below).
The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders or holders of Options or Performance Rights. The Consolidation will have no material effect on an individual Shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company. The aggregate value of each
Shareholder’s holding (and the Company’s market capitalisation) should not materially change (other than minor changes due to rounding) as a result of the Consolidation alone (that is assuming no other market movements or impacts occur). The price per Share can be expected to increase to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue (though the Company makes no representation as to the postConsolidation price of Shares or market capitalisation of the Company).
The Company’s balance sheet and tax position will remain unaltered as a result of the Consolidation.
Set out below is a summary of how the Consolidation will affect the Company’s Shares, Options and Performance Rights on issue. Other than the Options and the Performance Rights, the Company has no other convertible securities on issue. The proposed Effective Date of the Consolidation is 7 July 2025 following completion of Tranche 2 of the Placement.
(a) Shares
The Company’s issued share capital as a result of the Consolidation on a 1 for 127 basis will be as follows (subject to rounding and assuming the successful completion of Tranche 2 of the Placement):
| Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares on issue before Tranche 2 of the Placement completes |
2,212,652,291 | 17,422,459 |
| Shares on issue following completion of Tranche 2 of the Placement |
5,928,652,291 | 46,682,302 |
(b) Options
Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires the Company to consolidate the number of existing Options of the Company in the same 1 for 127 ratio with the exercise price being amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Accordingly, the existing Options will be consolidated as follows (subject to rounding):
| Pre-Consolidation | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASX Code |
Expiry date | Number of options |
Exercise price |
Number of options |
Exercise price |
| TX3AL | 18 June 2026 |
1,000,000 | $0.02 | 7,874 | $2.54 |
| TX3AN | 21 December 2026 |
16,000,000 | $0.011 | 125,984 | $1.397 |
| TX3AA | 17 December 2027 |
11,000,000 | $0.0126 | 86,614 | $1.60 |
| Total | 28,000,000 | 220,472 |
(c) Performance Rights
The Company’s Performance Rights as a result of the Consolidation on a 1 for 127 basis will be as follows (subject to rounding):
| ASX Code | Performance Rights | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |
|---|---|---|---|
| TX3AM | Performance Rights | 604,038,462 | 4,756,208 |
| TX3AO | Employee Performance Rights |
60,000,000 | 472,440 |
| Total | 664,038,462 | 5,228,648 |
(d) Fractional entitlements
Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a security, that fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number (to a minimum of one security).
(e) Holding statements
Following the Consolidation, all holding statements for existing Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis). After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares to be issued to Shareholders, who are encouraged to check their holdings after the Consolidation.
(f) Taxation
The Consolidation should not result in a capital gains tax event for Australian tax residents. The cost base of the Shares held after the Consolidation will be the sum of the cost bases of the original Shares pre-Share Consolidation. The acquisition date of Shares held after the Consolidation will be the same as the date on which the original Shares were acquired.
This Explanatory Memorandum does not however consider the tax implications in respect of Shares or other securities held on revenue account, as trading stock or by non-resident Shareholders. Shareholders should consider their own circumstances and seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position as a result of the Consolidation. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or employees assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders or other security holders about the tax consequences of the proposed Consolidation.
(g) Indicative timetable
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the timetable set out in paragraph 7 of Appendix 7A of the Listing Rules. The anticipated timetable for the Consolidation is set out below.
| Event | Indicative date |
|---|---|
| Company announces the Consolidation and provides Notice of Meeting to Shareholders |
