EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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 Summary of the Acquisition
As announced on 11 July 2016, the Company has conditionally agreed to
acquire 100% of the issue share capital in Mount Belches Pty Ltd (Mount Belches)
(Acquisition) pursuant to a binding term sheet dated 11 July 2016 (Term Sheet).
Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the Company obtaining all
necessary Shareholder and regulatory approvals pursuant to the ASX Listing
Rules, the Corporations Act and any other relevant law on or before 31 August
2016.
Mount Belches is the legal and beneficial owner of:
- one exploration licence application (E15/1525); and
- an option to acquirethree exploration licences and one exploration
licence application (E15/1205, E15/1446, E15/1377 and E15/1401) from the
registered holders of such licences (Licence Holders) pursuant to an
option agreement dated 20 May 2016 (Option Agreement),
(together the Mount Belches Projects), each of which are prospective for
lithium and are located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
The Mount Belches Projects are located in two project areas:
- Cowan – comprising the three granted exploration licences E15/1205,
E15/1446, E15/1377 totalling 159 square km and located approximately
55km south-east of Kambalda; and
- Yallari – comprising the two exploration licence applications E15/1401
and E15/1525 totalling 100 square km and located approximately 25km
south-east of Coolgardie, adjacent to the Coolgardie-Esperance Hwy..
Further details of the Mount Belches Projects are set out in section 1.2 below.
The Company has appointed the sole director of Mount Belches, Mark
Calderwood, as Chief Executive Officer effective from 11 July 2016.
Upon exercise of the option under the Option Agreement, Mount Belches is
required to pay a purchase price of $2,000,000 to the Licence Holders to be
satisfied in cash or by the issue of shares in an ASX listed entity (at a deemed
issue price equal to the volume weighted average price of such shares in the 30
day period prior to the date of issue) at the election of the Licence Holders.
Upon exercise of the option under the Option Agreement, a 2% gross royalty on
all mineral production from the Mount Belches Projects is payable to the Licence
Holders. None of the Licence Holders are related parties of the Company.
The consideration for the Acquisition will be satisfied by the Company issuing
40,000,000 Shares (Consideration Shares) to the three shareholders of Mount
Belches on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective shareholdings in
7
Mount Belches. None of the Mount Belches shareholders are related parties of
the Company. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the
Consideration Shares. On 6 July 2016, the Company paid a non-refundable
deposit of $100,000 in respect of the Acquisition.
In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company is undertaking a capital raising
to raise $1,750,000 by the issue of 70,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.025
per Share, to be completed in two tranches (Capital Raising). Resolution 2 seeks
Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of Shares under Tranche 1 of
the Capital Raising and Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of
Shares under Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising. Resolutions 4 to 6 seek
Shareholder approval for the participation by the Directors in Tranche 2 of the
Capital Raising.
1.2 Summary of the Mount Belches Projects
(a) Cowan Project
The Cowan Project area is located approximately 55km south-east of Kambalda
in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is located approximately 75km
south east of the Mt Marion Lithium project.
Geology
The project area comprises Archaean quartz-biotite metasediments and
amphibolites of the Eastern Goldfields Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton. These
metasediments trend north-south and have been intruded by large numbers of
pegmatites.
Two main belts of rare element Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum type (“LCT”)
pegmatites are known in the project area. LCT type pegmatites are derived
from highly siliceous, peraluminous (S-Type, ‘fertile’ granites) as highly
fractionated granitic melts. These fractionated melts contain the rare elements
(Be, Rb, Cs, Sn, Nb, Ta etc) and a high volatile content (H2O, F, B, P and Li). Petr
?erný's pegmatite classification (?erný 1991)* is the accepted standard. Under
this pegmatite classification scheme the project area is prospective for:
(i) LCT Albite-spodumene: These are typically unzoned,
homogeneous pegmatites with subhedral spodumene in a
quartz-albite matrix. The Mt Marion pegmatites (located 75km
to the northwest) are examples of this subclass.
(ii) LCT Albite: Zoned albite pegmatites have a fine grained albite
and quartz border zone with albite, often of the cleavelandite
variety, as the central pegmatite zone. Small quartz lenses and
scattered pods of coarsely crystallized quartz, microcline with
accessory minerals of beryl and phosphates with mica are
found irregularly within the albite central zones. Tantalum
minerals are found disseminated within the albite.
(iii) LCT Complex: There are considered to be four subclasses
depending upon which Li-bearing mineral is dominant in the
pegmatite.
(A) Spodumene: spodumene-dominant lithium-bearing
pegmatites that are zoned and mineralogically
complex (e.g. the Greenbushes and Mt Cattlin
pegmatite deposits).
8
(B) Petalite: Zoned pegmatites dominated by petalite
and/or its alteration products (e.g. the Londonderry
pegmatites, located 105km to the west-northwest).
(C) Lepidolite: Pegmatites simple or zoned with are rich in
lepidolite (e.g. the Mt Deans pegmatites located
105km to the southwest).
(D) Amblygonite: Amblygonite-rich pegmatites (Ubini
pegmatite, located 130km to the west-northwest).
The two large LCT pegmatite belts defined within the project area are:
Mt Belches – Bald Hill
This pegmatite belt striking north to northwest extends for at least 15km, however
the pegmatite belt likely extends for at least 25km under transported cover. A
large number of albite rich and LCT type Albite-Spodumene pegmatites occur
over a width of about 4km. Previous exploration and exploitation has been
focused on tantalum and tin. About 10km strike of the pegmatite belt is located
on the Mount Belches tenements.
Claypan Dam- Madoonia
This less explored northeast-southwest oriented LCT pegmatite belt has a strike of
at least 22km and width of at least 7km. The belt is known to contain LCT Albite
pegmatites with tantalite and tin and potentially hosts LCT Albite-Spodumene
pegmatites. A significant portion of the belt is covered by the Mount Belches
tenements.
The pegmatites occur as gently dipping sheets and as steeply dipping veins which
are all elongate in a northerly direction, parallel to the regional foliation. They range
in thickness from a few metres to as much as 30 metres and in some instances occur
as multiple, parallel dykes or swarms separated by a few metres of sheared
metasediments (Jacobson et al 2007)**.
The unweathered pegmatites as exposed in the Bald Hill South pit (south of the
project area) are composed of two zones, a quartz-spodumene-albite zone and a
quartz-microcline-muscovite-albite zone. From inspection, cassiterite, columbite-
tantalite are present as accessory minerals in the quartz-spodumene-albite zone.
The zoning is so poorly defined that these pegmatites can be classified as unzoned
albite-spodumene pegmatites (Jacobson et al 2007)**.
Outcrops of exposed schist and pegmatites are restricted to limited areas; most of
the tenement area is concealed by bluebush floodplain and sandplain and wash
zones. Remnants of Eocene sediments also mask bedrock.

For information on previous work undertaken on the Cowan Project and the
Company’s proposed initial exploration plans, please refer to the Company’s
announcement in respect of the Acquisition dated 11 July 2016.
(b) Yallari Project
9
The Yallari Project is located 25km southeast of Coolgardie and about 10km west of
Mt Marion. The project areas cover portions of the greenstone sequence that hosts
the Mt Marion and Londonderry pegmatite fields. Numerous pegmatites have been
mapped by nickel and base metal explorers however there are no records on the
rare element content of the pegmatites. These pegmatites based on their
mineralogy are probably derived from a peraluminous and possible ‘fertile’ granite.
The geological setting of the pegmatites and the proximity to the Mt Marion and
Londonderry lithium bearing pegmatite fields is encouraging.
For further information on the Yallari Project, please refer to the Company’s
announcement in respect of the Acquisition dated 11 July 2016.
2. RESOLUTION 1 - ISSUE OF SHARES IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE ACQUISITION OF
MOUNT BELCHES PTY LTD
2.1 General
A summary of the Acquisition is set out in section 1 above. Resolution 1 seeks
Shareholder approval for the issue of 40,000,000 Consideration Shares to the
shareholders of Mount Belches in consideration for the Company acquiring the
entire issued share capital of Mount Belches.
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.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the
Consideration Shares pursuant to the Acquisition 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.
2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following
information is provided in relation to the Consideration Shares:
(a) the maximum number of Consideration Shares to be issued is 40,000,000;
(b) the Consideration Shares 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 intended
that issue of the Consideration Shares will occur on the same day;
(c) the deemed issue price will be $0.025 per Consideration Share and the
Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration in
satisfaction of the acquisition by the Company of the entire issued share
capital of Mount Belches;
(d) the Consideration Shares will be issued to the existing shareholders of
Mount Belches none of whom is a related party of the Company;
(e) the Consideration Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the
capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the
Company’s existing Shares; and
10
(f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Consideration Shares as they
are being issued in consideration for the acquisition by the Company of
the entire issued share capital of Mount Belches.
2.3 Dilution
Assuming no Options are exercised or other Shares issued, the number of Shares
on issue would increase from 167,125,502 (being the number of Shares on issue
as at the date of this Notice) to 207,125,502 and the shareholding of existing
Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 19.3%.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – TRANCHE 1 OF
CAPITAL RAISING
3.1 General
A summary of the Capital Raising is set out in section 1 above. On 15 July 2016,
the Company issued 19,600,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.025 per Share to
raise $490,000 under Tranche 1 of the Capital Raising. Resolution 2 seeks
Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those
Shares (Ratification).
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.1 above.
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.
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 the Ratification:
(a) 19,600,000 Shares were issued;
(b) the issue price was $0.025 per Share;
(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 professional and sophisticated investors. None
of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
(e) the funds raised from this issue will be used to fund exploration programs
on the Mount Belches Projects.

Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 50,400,000 Shares at an issue price of
$0.025 per Share to raise up to $1,260,000 under Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.1 above.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares
pursuant to Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising 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.

the Shares will occur on the same date;
(c) the issue price will be $0.025 per Share;
(d) the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors
determined by the Directors. None of these subscribers will be related
parties of the Company other than the Directors whose participation in
Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising is subject to Shareholder approval
pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 6;
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s
existing Shares; and
(f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from Tranche 2 of the
Capital Raising towards exploration programs on the Mount Belches
Projects and general working capital.
4.3 Dilution
Assuming the maximum number of Shares are issued under Resolution 1 and no
Options are exercised or other Shares are issued, the number of Shares on issue
would increase from 207,125,502 to 257,525,502 and the shareholding of existing
Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 19.6%.
5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – PARTICIPATION OF RELATED PARTIES IN CAPITAL RAISING –
MICHAEL NAYLOR, MICHAEL BOHM AND ROBERT BENUSSI
5.1 General
Pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the
issue of up to 50,400,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.025 per Share to raise up
to $1,260,000 under Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
12
The Directors Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert Benussi wish to each
participate in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 2,000,000
Shares to each of Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert Benussi (or their
respective nominees) (being a total of 6,000,000 Shares) arising from their
participation in Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising (Participation).
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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a
financial benefit and Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert Benussi are
related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Michael Naylor who has a material personal interest in
Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the
Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Shares
will be issued to Michael Naylor on the same terms as Shares issued to non-
related party participants in the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the
financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Michael Bohm 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
will be issued to Michael Bohm on the same terms as Shares issued to non-
related party participants in the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the
financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Robert Benussi 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
will be issued to Robert Benussi on the same terms as Shares issued to non-
related party participants in the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the
financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
5.3 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 Participation involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the
Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required
13
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.
5.4 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 Participation:
(a) the Shares will be issued to Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert
Benussi (or their respective nominees);
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 6,000,000 as follows:
(i) 2,000,000 Shares to Michael Naylor;
(ii) 2,000,000 Shares to Michael Bohm; and
(iii) 2,000,000 Shares to Robert Benussi;
(c) the Shares 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);
(d) the issue price will be $0.025 per Share, being the same as all other
Shares issued under the Capital Raising;
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s
existing Shares; and
(f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds
raised under Tranche 2 of the Capital Raising as set out in section 4.2(f)
of this Explanatory Statement.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as
approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue
of Shares to Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert Benussi (or their
respective nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15%
annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
6. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES - MICHAEL NAYLOR,
MICHAEL BOHM AND ROBERT BENUSSI
6.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a
total of 3,000,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Michael Naylor, Michael
Bohm and Robert Benussi (or their respective nominees) (Related Parties) on the
terms and conditions set out below.
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,
14
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in
sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and
Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert Benussi are related parties of the
Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, 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.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of
the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current
circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of
Related Party Options to the Related Parties.
6.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the
Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided
in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:
(a) the related parties are Michael Naylor, Michael Bohm and Robert
Benussi and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the
financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
(i) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Michael Naylor;
(ii) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Michael Bohm; and
(iii) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Robert Benussi;
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later
than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as
permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules)
and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one
date;
(d) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration,
accordingly no funds will be raised;
(e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in
Schedule 1;
(f) the value of the Related Party Options independently valued by
Stantons International Securities and the pricing methodology is set out
in Schedule 2;
(g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company
are set out below:
Related Party Shares Options
Michael Naylor 80,0001 150,0002
15
Michael Bohm nil nil
Robert Benussi 371,0003 nil
140,000 Shares held by Sarah June Naylor (spouse) and 40,000 Shares held by
Michael Naylor and Sarah June Naylor ATF the M D & S J Super Fund.
2 150,000 Class F Options exercisable at $0.178 each on or before 26 May 2018.
3 Held by Intrepid Concepts Pty Ltd.
(h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related
Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration
and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
Related Party Current Financial Previous
Year Financial Year
Michael Naylor $129,996 $133,947
Michael Bohm $49,275 $20,531
Robert Benussi $39,420 $3,285
(i) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are
exercised, a total of 3,000,000 Shares would be issued. Assuming the
maximum of Shares are issued under Resolutions 1 and 3, this will
increase the number of Shares on issue from 257,525,502 to 260,525,502
(assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are
issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders
would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 1.2%, comprising
approximately 0.4% by Michael Naylor, 0.4% by Michael Bohm and 0.4%
by Robert Benussi.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options
would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are
exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised
and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the
exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived
cost to the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, the Shares are trading on ASX at a price
greater than the exercise price of the Related Party Options. The Board
resolved to issue the Related Party Options, subject to Shareholder
approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice at a time
when the Shares were trading on ASX at a price lower than the exercise
price of the Related Party Options, but Shareholder approval has not
been able to be obtained until the date of the Meeting. The Board
resolved to issue the Related Party Options to Messrs Naylor, Bohm and
Benussi on 4 July 2016 when the closing price of Shares on ASX was 3
cents (i.e. the exercise price then represented a 100% increase in the
closing price). In addition the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer
was granted Options on the same terms and conditions.
(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date
of this Notice is set out below:
Price Date
Highest 7.6 cents 13 July 2016
16
Lowest 2.0 cents 7 January 2016
Last 7.6 cents 13 July 2016
(k) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to Michael
Bohm and Robert Benussi is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition)
as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the
Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Michael Bohm
and Robert Benussi reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set
out in paragraph (m);
(l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the
Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component
in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and
reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles
as Directors;
(m) Michael Naylor declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in
relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the
outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related
Party Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However,
in respect of Resolutions 8 and 9, Michael Naylor recommends that
Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following
reasons:
(i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will
align the interests of the Related Parties with those of
Shareholders;
(ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and
appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as
the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to
spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations
than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were
given to the Related Parties; and
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity
costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in
granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
(n) Michael Bohm declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in
relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the
outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related
Party Options in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed. However,
in respect of Resolutions 7 and 9, Michael Bohm recommends that
Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in
paragraph (m);
(o) Robert Benussi declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in
relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the
outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related
Party Options in the Company should Resolution 9 be passed. However,
in respect of Resolutions 7 and 8, Robert Benussi recommends that
Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in
paragraph (m);
17
(p) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the
experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of
Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of
Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and
expiry date of those Related Party Options; and
(q) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be
reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision
whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 to
9.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the
Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained
under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to
the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s
annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
1. (Appointing a proxy): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled
to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to
cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and
vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may
only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate
copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or
number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the
appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is
appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes
resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need
not be a Shareholder.
2. (Direction to vote): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes
opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that
the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for
the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose
subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be
invalid on that item.
3. (Signing instructions):
- (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
- (Joint holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders
should sign.
- (Power of attorney): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the
registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form
when you return it.
- (Companies): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company
secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the
Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign
alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary
must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if
a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the
Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such
appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a
certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
4. (Attending the Meeting): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from
attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid
Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for
that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
5. (Return of Proxy Form): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and
return by:
(a) post to Tawana Resources NL, 288 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, WA 6008; or
(b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9489 2600; or
