Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
3.1
General
On 4 February 2025, the Company announced a capital raising of $1.5 million (before costs)
via the issue of up to 18,292,683 Shares (Placement Shares) at an issue price of $0.082 per
Share (Placement).
The Placement is comprised of the following tranches:
(a)
15,731,707 Placement Shares issued to unrelated parties of the Company (Tranche 1
Placement Shares) the subject of Resolution 1(a) and (b);
(b)
121,951 Placement Shares proposed to be issued to the chief executive officer, Mr
Nigel Broomham (or his nominee) (Tranche 2 Placement Shares), the subject of
Resolution 2; and
Page 5
(c)
2,439,025 Placement Shares proposed to be issued to Director Dr David Pevcic (or
his nominee), the subject of Resolution 3 (Director Placement Shares).
On 12 February 2025, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the
Company’s available placement capacity in the following proportions:
(a)
5,417,707 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(b)
10,314,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify
the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
3.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that
period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way
of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an
extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on
29 November 2024.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to
Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses
up the Company’s combined 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This
reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder
approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the
Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a
company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing
Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and
7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the
purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to
retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity
limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1, and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing
Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 5,417,707 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in
calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of
Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following
the issue date.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 10,314,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in
calculating the Company's 10% limit 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 issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 5,417,707 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be
included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number
of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior
Shareholder approval, to the extent of 5,417,707 Equity Securities for the 12 month period
following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 10,314,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be
included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the
number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior
Shareholder approval, to the extent of 10,314,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period
following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's
approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
3.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in
relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
Page 6
3.4
(a)
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to a range of professional and
sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the
Company. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild
process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to
participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and
clients of the Lead Manager.
(b)
On 12 February 2025, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares using
the Company’s available placement capacity in the following proportions:
(i)
5,417,707 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(ii)
10,314,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(c)
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on
issue.
(d)
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.082 each.
(e)
The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and will continue to
used towards:
(i)
advancing the Company’s El Aguila project, including exploration activities,
project development and acquisition costs;
(ii)
the costs of the Placement; and
(iii)
general working capital.
(f)
There are no other material terms to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
(g)
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Additional information
Resolution 1(a) and (b) are separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).
4.
Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares
4.1
General
The background to the Placement and the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares
is summarised in Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 121,951
Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Nigel Broomham (or his nominee).
4.2
Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the
exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares
would not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without
breaching 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 under
ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of
the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of
the Company's 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under
ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the
flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity
set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
The Company intends to seek upfront Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Placement
Shares.
Page 7
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 121,951
Tranche 2 Placement Shares and raise up to $10,000 (before costs). In addition, the issue of
the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in
Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without
Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of 121,951 Tranche
2 Placement Shares and the Company will not receive the $10,000 committed by Mr Nigel
Broomham in consideration for the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
4.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in
relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:
4.4
(a)
The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Nigel Broomham (or his
nominee), who is the chief executive officer of the Company, and is not a related party
of the Company or Material Investor.
(b)
A maximum of 121,951 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued.
(c)
The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on
issue.
(d)
The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date
of the Meeting.
(e)
The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.082 each, being
the same price at which the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued.
(f)
The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares are as set out in Section 3.3(e)
above.
(g)
There are no other material terms for the subscription of the Tranche 2 Placement
Shares.
(h)
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Additional Information
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5.
Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
5.1
General
The background to the Placement and the issue of the Director Placement Shares is in
Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to
2,439,025 Director Placement Shares to Dr David Pevcic (or his nominee) to raise up to
$200,000 (before costs).
5.2
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 any of the following
persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
(a)
a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
(b)
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
(c)
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the
board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or
expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
Page 8
(d)
an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule
10.11.4); or
(e)
a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule
10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be
approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Dr David Pevcic is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder
approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is
the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the
current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement
Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the
Director Placement Shares to Dr David Pevcic (or his nominee) will not be included in the
Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the
Director Placement Shares, raising up to $200,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the
Director Placement Shares and will not receive the additional $200,000 (before costs)
committed by Dr David Pevcic. The Company may be required to raise additional capital from
unrelated parties which may be on terms less favourable to the Company, and more dilutive to
Shareholders than the terms of the Placement.
5.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in
relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
5.4
(a)
The Director Placement Shares will be issued to Dr David Pevcic (or his nominee).
(b)
Dr David Pevcic falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of
being a Director of the Company. In the event the Director Placement Shares are
issued to a nominee of Dr David Pevcic, that nominee will fall into the category
stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
(c)
A maximum of 2,439,025 Director Placement Shares will be issued.
(d)
The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the
Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on
issue.
(e)
The Director Placement Shares will be issued within one month after the date of the
Meeting.
(f)
The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.082
each, being the same issue price as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and Tranche 2
Placement Shares and will raise up to approximately $200,000 (before costs).
(g)
The use of proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares is as set out in Section
3.3(e) above.
(h)
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares are not intended to remunerate
or incentivise Dr David Pevcic.
(i)
There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement
Shares. The Director Placement Shares will not be issued pursuant to an agreement.
(j)
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a
related party, the Company must:
(a)
obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the
Corporations Act; and
Page 9
(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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to a
related party of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations
Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the
Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement
Shares and the Tranche 2 Placement Shares that were issued to non-related party
participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length
terms.
5.5
Additional information
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Dr David Pevcic who has a personal interest in the Resolution)
recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
6.
Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Lead Manager Options
6.1
General
Refer to Section 3.1 above for the background to the Placement.
Euroz Hartleys Limited acted as lead manager to the Placement (Lead Manager) pursuant to
a lead manager mandate between the Company and the Lead Manager (Lead Manager
Mandate).
Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate:
(a)
(b)
in consideration for lead manager services for the Placement, the Company agreed to
pay the Lead Manager fees comprising:
(i)
a capital raising fee of 6% (excluding GST) of the amount raised under the
Placement; and
(ii)
1,500,000 unlisted Options which are exercisable at a price of $0.123 and
expiring 3 years from the date of issue and will otherwise be issued on the
terms and conditions in Schedule 2 (Lead Manager Options); and
for a period of 12 months following the issue of the Director Placement Shares, the
Lead Manager has a right of first refusal to act as lead manager to any capital raising
undertaken by the Company (Future Capital Raising) and be paid a capital raising
fee of 6% of the amount raised under any Future Capital Raising.
The Lead Manager Mandate contains additional provisions considered standard for an
agreement of this nature.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the
issue of up to 1,500,000 Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager (or its nominee).
6.2
Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 3.2 above.
The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing
Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead
Manager Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead
Manager Options and will have to consider other forms of remuneration for the Lead Manager,
which may include payment of cash.

Meeting.
