How to vote

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their Proxy Form in person, by email, by post or by facsimile.

    Voting in person or by attorney

    Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

    Voting by a corporation

    A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act.

    Written proof of the representative's appointment (including any authority under which it is signed) must be lodged with, or presented to the Company before the Meeting.

    Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

  • Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not Chair of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote on a poll in accordance with any instructions.

  • Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice

  • Proxies must be received by 9:30am (WST) on 14 June 2017. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

    • In person: Level 1, 41-47 Colin Street

      West Perth WA 6005

    • By mail: PO Box 1449

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.

Resolution 1 - Ratification of prior issue of Shares - Placement

As announced on 16 February 2017, the Company completed a bookbuild for a placement to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to $50,000,000 to provide funding for the development of the Dalgaranga Gold Project, exploration and working capital (Placement). The Placement took place in two tranches. On 24 February 2017, the Company issued 74,900,000 Shares, being the first tranche of the Placement. 50,000,000 Shares were issued using the Listing Rule 7.1 shareholder approval granted at the Company's 2016 Annual General Meeting held on 24 November 2016. The remaining 24,900,000 Shares were issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior Shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of the ratification is to restore the Company's maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company without requiring Shareholder approval.

Resolution 1 seeks ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 24,900,000 Shares that were issued on 24 February 2017, to restore the ability of the Company to issue further securities within the 15% limit.

The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

The number of securities issued

24,900,000 Shares were issued.

The price at which the securities were issued

$0.50 per Share.

The terms of the securities

The Shares are ordinary fully paid shares issued in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

The name of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined

The Shares were issued to a number of Australian and international institutional, sophisticated and/or professional investors who did not require a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act and were unrelated parties of the Company.

The use (or intended use) of the funds raised

The funds raised by the issue will be used to fund the development of the Dalgaranga Gold Project, exploration and general working capital.

A voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 1.
