EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

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

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 General

As announced by the Company on 6 August 2018, the Company received firm commitments from sophisticated investors to raise $3,000,000 (before costs) at $0.01 per Share together with a one for one New Option for every Share issued ( Placement ).

The New Options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.015 with an expiry date of 31 December 2021. Full terms of the New Options are set out in Schedule 1.

The funds raised from the Placement will be used to further activities on the Company’s projects, specifically a copper, silver and manganese project located in South Eastern Peru ( Berenguela Project ) and for working capital purposes.

On 15 August 2018, the Company issued the first tranche of Shares under the Placement, being 280,000,000 Shares to unrelated investors in the Placement. 188,355,608 Shares were issued under the Company’s capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 91,644,392 Shares were issued under the Company’s capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company is seeking ratification of the issues under Resolutions 1 and 2 .

The attaching New Options to the 280,000,000 Shares issued will be issued subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 4 .

The remaining 20,000,000 Shares under the Placement were subscribed for by three Directors of the Company, Mr McMaster, Mr Sumner and Ms Smith. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 to allow the Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated investors (refer to Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 ).

The Company engaged CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ( CPS Capital ) as the lead manager and broker to the Placement. As part of the consideration for the services provided, the Company agree to issue CPS Capital 100,000,000 New Options. Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to CPS Capital is being sought under Resolution 8.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition for the Berenguela Project, which completed on 3 May 2017, the vendor, SSR Mining Inc (previously named Silver Standard Resources Inc) ( SSR ), is entitled to be issued such number of shares as would result in SSR maintaining a voting power in the Company of 9.9% (on a fully diluted basis) concurrently with any issue of Shares ( Top Up Right ). Accordingly, following the finalisation of the issue of 280,000,000 Shares under the Placement, 31,539,170 Shares were issued to SSR pursuant to the Top Up Right. The Shares were placed using the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue is being ratified under Resolution 3.

Subject to Shareholder approval, following the issues of securities proposed under Resolutions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, SSR will also be entitled to receive up to 46,148,730 Shares, pursuant to the Top Up Right. Approval to issue the Shares under the Top Up Right is being sought under Resolution 9.

7

2601-05/1994024_1

The Company notes that it intends to seek quotation of the New Options to be issued and therefore it is intended that the New Options will be transferrable. Accordingly, in order to remove any on sale restrictions that might apply to the New Options the Company intends to issue a prospectus in respect of issues of New Options.

2. RESOLUTION 1 AND 2 – RATIFACITON OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

2.1 General

As detailed in Section 1.1 above, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 280,000,000 Shares that were issued on 15 August 2018 pursuant to the Placement raising $2,800,000.

Of the 280,000,000 Shares issued, 188,355,608 Shares were issued under the Company’s capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 91,644,392 Shares were issued under the Company’s capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.

2.2 Resolution 1 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

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

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.3 Resolution 2 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

8

2601-05/1994024_1

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

2.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) 280,000,000 Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 188,355,608 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification being sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 91,644,392 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification being sought under Resolution 2);

  • (b) the issue price was $0.01 per Share under both the issues of Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors. None of these subscribers were related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue were used for furthering activities on the Company’s projects, specifically the Berenguela Project and for working capital purposes.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – TOP UP RIGHT

3.1 General

As detailed in Section 1.1, following the issue of 280,000,000 on 15 August 2018, the Company issued 31,539,170 Shares to SSR as part of the Top Up Right.

The Shares were issued under the Company’s capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 31,539,170 Shares.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Ratification B:

  • (d) the Shares were issued to the vendor of the Berenguela Project, SSR who is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (e) the Shares were issued for nil consideration and accordingly no funds were raised as a result of the issue.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW OPTIONS - PLACEMENT

4.1 General

Under the terms of the Placement all subscribers are to be issued New Options on a one for one basis for every Share subscribed for and issued.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the attaching options to participants in the Placement, being up to 280,000,000 New Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the New Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Securities under Resolution 4:

  • (a) the maximum number of New Options to be issued is 280,000,000;

  • (b) the New Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that all of the New Options will be issued on the same day;

  • (d) the New Options will be issued to subscribers under the Placement as the subject of Resolution 1 and 2. None of the recipients are related parties of the Company; and

10

2601-05/1994024_1

5. RESOLUTION 5 TO 7 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION

5.1 General

As detailed in Section 1.1 above, the Directors have agreed to participate in the Placement subscribing for 20,000,000 Shares as follows:

  • (a) 10,000,000 Shares subscribed for by Mr Brian McMaster (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 5);

  • (b) 5,000,000 Shares subscribed for by Mr Mark Sumner (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 6);

  • (c) 5,000,000 Shares subscribed for by Ms Paula Smith (or her nominee (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 7); and

(together, the Related Party Participation ).

As per the terms of the Placement the Directors will receive New Options on the basis of one New Option for every Share issued under the Placement.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Related Party Participation in the Placement on the same terms as other investors.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Related Party Participation will result in the issue of Shares and New Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit.

Messrs McMaster, Sumner and Ms Smith are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr McMaster who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Shares and New Options will be issued to Mr McMaster at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares and New Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement.

The Directors (other than Mr Sumner who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Shares and New Options will be issued to Mr Sumner at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares and New Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement.

11

2601-05/1994024_1

The Directors (other than Ms Smith who has a material personal interest in Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 7 because the Shares and New Options will be issued to Ms Smith at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares and New Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement.

5.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a Director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that Director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough Directors to form a quorum for a Directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the Directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that three of the four Directors comprising the Board (the Directors participating in the Placement) have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolution 5,6 and 7 at Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval for Resolutions 5,6 and 7 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

5.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Related Party Participation involves the issue of Shares and New Options to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

5.5 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Related Party Participation:

  • (a) the Shares and New Options will be issued to Messrs McMaster, Sumner and Ms Smith (or their nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is:

  • (i) 10,000,000 Shares to Mr McMaster (or nominees) (Resolution 5); (ii) 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Sumner (or nominees) (Resolution 6); and (iii) 5,000,000 Shares to Ms Smith (or nominees) (Resolution 7).

12

2601-05/1994024_1

  • (c) the maximum number of New Options to be issued is:

  • (i) 10,000,000 New Options to Mr McMaster (or nominees) (Resolution 5);

  • (ii) 5,000,000 New Options to Mr Sumner (or nominees) (Resolution 6); and

  • (iii) 5,000,000 New Options to Ms Smith (or nominees) (Resolution 7).

  • (d) the Shares and New Options 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 ASX Listing Rules);

  • (e) the issue price of the Shares will be $0.01 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement and will raise a total amount of $200,000 for the Company as follows:

  • (i) $100,000 through the participation of Mr McMaster (Resolution 5); (ii) $50,000 through the participation of Mr Sumner (Resolution 6); and

  • (iii) $50,000 through the participation of Ms Smith (Resolution 7).

  • (f) the issue price of the New Options will be nil, being issued on a one for one basis for each Share subscribed for under the Placement;
