EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at a General Meeting of the Company to be held the Quest Kings Park Road, 54 Kings Park Road, West Perth, Western Australia on Thursday, 2 December 2021 commencing at 11.30am (WST).

1. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT SHARES

  1. General
    On 10 November 2021, the Company announced a $6.3 million placement comprising the issue of 18,000,001 Shares at an issue price of $0.35 per Share (Placement). Lefroy Non‐executive Chairman Mr Gordon Galt committed to subscribe for 142,858 Shares at the Placement issue price of $0.35 per Share to raise $50,000.30 and Non‐executive Director Mr Michael Davies committed to subscribe for 714,286 Shares at the Placement issue price of $0.35 per Share to raise $250,000.10. This issue of Shares to Mr Galt (or nominee) and Mr Davies (or nominee) is subject to Shareholder approval in Resolutions 2 and 3 below. The Placement was taken up by new institutions and sophisticated investors as well as existing Shareholders. Bridge Street Capital Partners and Arlington Group Asset Management were joint lead managers and bookrunners for the Placement.
    The proceeds of the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration at the Company's 100% owned Eastern Lefroy Gold Project and for general working capital purposes. The principal and immediate focus of the Company is at the exciting and unique Burns copper gold system where recent exploration involving drilling and geophysics has expanded the mineralised footprint to 3,000m in length.
    The Company issued 17,142,857 Placement Shares on 17 November 2021. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 17,142,857 Shares issued pursuant to the Company's existing Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
  2. Background to Listing Rule 7.1
    The Company issued 17,142,857 Shares utilising the Company's existing Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity. Listing Rule 7.1 places a general limitation on 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The 17,142,857 Shares were issued within the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.
    Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, provided the Company complied with Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issuing the relevant equity securities. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.
    If Resolution 1 is approved, the 17,142,857 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 their issue.
    If Resolution 1 is not approved by the requisite majority, the 17,142,857 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity

securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their issue.

  1. Technical 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 Resolution 1 and the ratification of the issue of the 17,142,857 Shares issued pursuant to the Company's existing Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity:
    • The 17,142,857 Shares were issued to new and existing professional and sophisticated investors determined by Bridge Street Capital Partners and Arlington Group Asset Management in consultation with the Board. The subscribers were not related parties of the Company at the time of the issue of the Shares.
    • The 17,142,857 Shares were issued on 17 November 2021.
    • The 17,142,857 Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares. The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue.
    • The issue price of the Shares was $0.35 per Share.
    • Funds raised from the issue will be used to accelerate exploration at the Company's 100% owned Eastern Lefroy Gold Project and for general working capital purposes.
    • A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1 of the Notice.
  2. Directors' recommendation
    The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 ‐ APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES VIA PLACEMENT TO MR GORDON GALT (OR HIS NOMINEE)

  1. General
    As noted in Section 1.1 above, on 10 November 2021, the Company announced a $6.3 million Placement comprising the issue of 18,000,001 Shares at an issue price of $0.35 per Share. Lefroy Non‐ executive Chairman Mr Gordon Galt committed to subscribe for 142,858 Shares at the Placement issue price of $0.35 per Share to raise $50,000.30. This issue of Shares to Mr Galt (or nominee) is subject to Shareholder approval. The funds raised from the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration at the Company's 100% owned Eastern Lefroy Gold Project and for general working capital purposes.
    Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 to approve the issue of a total of 142,858 Shares at an issue price of $0.35 per Share to Mr Gordon Galt (or his nominee).
  2. Listing Rule 10.11
    Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will
