EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Purpose of Information
This Explanatory Statement (“Statement”) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of EGM
(“Notice”) which will be held at 3:00pm (AEDT) on Friday, 7 February 2025, via a video-conferencing facility.
The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Statement.
ORDINARY BUSINESS
Background to Resolutions 1 to 3
On 13 December 2024, the Company completed a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors for
$4.9 million at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) per share (New Share) with one free attaching option
exercisable at $0.0675 (6.75 cents) (New Option) for each New Share (Placement).
The Placement participants included institutional and sophisticated investors (Placement Participants) and
Oaktree Capital Management L.P (Oaktree) - for which approval will be sought as outlined in Resolution 3.
The funds raised will be used for waste stripping, plant expansion, and optimisation works at Mt Carbine, and
general working capital.
The Placement was conducted by Joint Lead Managers, PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd and STK Markets
Pty Ltd (JLM) and assisted by Co-Manager, GBA Capital Pty Ltd. In addition to their JLM fees the Company
agreed to issue each JLM 10 million broker options exercisable at $0.0675 (6.75 cents) (JLM Options).
The issue of 97.5 million New Shares and 97.5 million New Options under the Placement was completed on
24 December 2024 under the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 – Ratification of Placement Shares and Unlisted Options
Background
The Company seeks Shareholder approval to ratify 97.5 million New Shares and 97.5 million New Options to
professional and sophisticated investors on 24 December 2024 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
The New Shares and New Options were issued without Shareholder approval from the Company’s existing
placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the
Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any security issues
that meet the requirements of one of the exceptions of ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The issue of New Shares and
New Options to Placement Participants was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX
Listing Rule 7.1 and did not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of
Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the
time and Shareholders subsequently approve it. As the issue of these New Shares and New Options was
within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, did not fall within any of the exceptions in
ASX Listing Rule 7.2, and was not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company now seeks
Shareholder ratification of the issue of these New Shares and New Options pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4
to refresh its capacity to make further issues without Shareholders approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is approved, the prior issue of the New Shares and New Options to Placement Participants
may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule
7.1. The Company will therefore be able to issue additional equity securities without the 97.5 million New
Shares and 97.5 million New Options counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing
Rule 7.1.
.
If this Resolution is not approved, the issue of the New Shares and New Options to Placement Participants
will not be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule
7.1. The Company will therefore have 97.5 million New Shares and 97.5 million New Options as counting
towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7
ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of
obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
(a) the New Shares and New Options were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors introduced
to the Company via existing relationships with the JLM’s on 24 December 2024. There was no
participant in the issue of the Shares that was an investor required to be disclosed under ASX
Guidance Note 21 which included;
i. related party of the Company;
ii. member of key management personnel;
iii. substantial holder in the Company;
iv. adviser to the Company; or
v. associate of any of the above,
vi. and the securities issued constitute more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital.
(b) the number and class of securities issued was 97.5 million New Shares and 97.5 million New
Options;
(c) the New Shares were issued for cash, at an issue price of $0.04 (4.0 cents) per share;
(d) the New Options have a nil issue price and are exercisable at $0.0675 (6.75 cents) each option
expiring on 29 May 2027 (see Schedule 1 for details of the terms and conditions that apply to these
options); and
(e) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used for capital projects related to waste stripping,
plant expansion, and optimisation works at Mt Carbine, and general working capital.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Voting Intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
Voting Exclusions
Refer to Note 6 for voting exclusions.
Resolution 2 – Ratification of Options to Joint Lead Managers
Background
On 24 December 2024, the Company issued 20,000,000 Options, in consideration for lead manager services
provided by PAC and STK (JLM Options). The Company seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of
10 million New Options to each JLM in relation to the Placement announced 13 December 2024.
The issue of 20,000,000 JLM Options under the Placement was completed on 24 December 2024, without
shareholder approval, using the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the
Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any security issues
that meet the requirements of one of the exceptions of ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The issue of Options to the JLMs
was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and did not fit within any
of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of
shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the
time and Shareholders subsequently approve it. As the issue of the JLM Options was within the Company's
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity and was not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company
now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the JLM Options pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh
its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is approved, the prior issue of 20,000,000 JLM Options to PAC and STK may be treated by
the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company
will therefore be able to issue additional equity securities, without the securities the subject of this Resolution
counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
.
8
If this Resolution is not approved, the prior issue of 20,000,000 JLM Options will not be treated by the
Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will
therefore have the 20,000,000 JLM Options issued to PAC and STK as counting towards the 15% threshold
for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of
obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
(a) the Options were issued on 24 December 2024 to the Joint Lead Managers; PAC Partners Securities
Pty Ltd and STK Markets Pty Ltd (or their nominee(s)). There was no participant in the issue of the
Options that was an investor required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21;
(b) the number and class of securities issued was 20,000,000; at an exercise price of $0.0675 (6.75
cents) per option, expiring on 29 May 2027 (see Schedule 1 for details of the terms and conditions
that apply to these options);
(c) The New Options have a nil issue price;
(d) The purpose of the issue: New Options were issued to the Joint Lead Managers as part fees payable
under the Placement; and
(e) There will be no funds raised from the issue of the options, however should the options be exercised,
the funds raised will be used for the Company’s projects and general working capital.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Voting Intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
Voting Exclusions
Refer to Note 6 for voting exclusions.
Resolution 3 – Approval to Issue Placement Shares and Unlisted Options to Oaktree Capital
Management L.P.
Background
In addition to the New Shares and New options noted in Resolution 1, Oaktree Capital Management L.P.
(Oaktree), an institutional investor and substantial Shareholder in the Company, agreed to participate in the
Placement, subject to the required Shareholder approval of New Shares and New Options. Oaktree is seeking
to subscribe for 25,000,000 New Shares and 25,000,000 New Options.
Oaktree has advanced the Company the funds associated with the placement participation (key terms noted
below) in the amount of $1m.
The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of
25,000,000 New Shares at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) and 25,000,000 free attaching New Options to
Oaktree.
ASX Listing Rules Requirements
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:
10.11.1 a related party;
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board
of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation
to do so;
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules
10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be
approved by its shareholders;
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
9
Mr Stephen Weir was appointed to the Board as Oaktree’s nominee director on 19 January 2024. The
appointment was agreed between the Company and Oaktree as part of the $25 million investment in EQR by
Oaktree. At the date of this Notice, Oaktree holds approximately 13.3% of the Company’s Shares and
therefore falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 requiring the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing
Rule 10.11.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 25,000,000 New
Shares and 25,000,000 New Options to Oaktree.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of
25,000,000 New Shares and 25,000,000 New Options to Oaktree.
