The Directors (except Mr Vickery, who abstains) recommend shareholders vote in favour of the re- election of Mr Vickery.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution 2.
-
Resolution 3: Approval of Shares to be Issued Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions) prior approval of shareholders is required for issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Resolution 3 proposes approval for the issue of shares set out below, for the purposes of satisfying Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3.
-
up to 250,000,000 ordinary shares will be issued;
-
the shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum relates;
-
the shares will be issued for a minimum price that is at least 80% of the average market price for the shares, calculated over the last two days on which
sales in the shares were recorded before the date on which the issue is to be made;
-
the shares will be issued to 'sophisticated' and 'professional' investors (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth));
-
the shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares on issue;
-
funds raised by the issue of shares were used to fund exploration activities relating to the Spargoville project and working capital purposes; and
-
allotment of the shares may occur progressively.
The Directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of the approval of shares to be issued.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution 3.
-
Resolution 4: Approval of Shares to be Issued to Tychean Resources Limited
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions) prior approval of shareholders is required for issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
In August 2015 the Company entered into a Sale and Farm-in Agreement with Tychean Resources Limited to purchase equity in the Spargoville tenements held by Tychean Resources in Western Australia. The consideration to acquire 25% of the Tychean equity in Spargoville was $200,000 cash and $200,000 of
Maximus Resources Limited fully paid ordinary shares.
The number of MXR shares to be issued to Tychean is dependent on the share price (10 day Volume weighted average price - VWAP) as at the date of transfer of title in the tenements to MXR or issue date of the shares.
However the date, the share price and therefore the final number of MXR shares to be issued are unknowns at this time. The table below sets out the number of MXR shares to be issued to Tychean at differing share prices on the date of the transaction, using the 10 day VWAP
mechanism to calculate the average share price. The total value of MXR shares issued will not exceed $200,000.

$0.003 66,666,666 $200,000
$0.004 50,000,000 $200,000
Resolution 4 proposes approval for the issue of shares set out below, for the purposes of satisfying Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4.
-
up to a maximum of 200,000,000 ordinary shares will be issued (dependant on share price at the date of transfer of title in the tenements to the value of
$200,000);
-
the shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum relates;
-
the shares will be issued for a minimum price that is at least 80% of the average market price for the shares, calculated over the last 5 days on which
sales in the shares were recorded before the date on which the issue is to be made;
-
the shares will be issued to Tychean Resources Limited;
-
the shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares on issue;
-
the shares be issued to complete the purchase of the 25% equity of Tychean Resources Limited interest in the Spargoville tenements; and
-
allotment of the shares will occur when interest in the title has been transferred to Maximus Resources Limited or no later than 3 months after this meeting.
The Directors (except Messrs Kennedy and Vickery, who abstain) recommend shareholders vote in favour of the shares to be issued to Tychean Resources Limited.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution 4.
-
Resolution 5: Approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period Listing rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting (AGM) to issue an additional 10% of the entity's issued ordinary securities (calculated
using the formula set out below). The ability to issue securities under listing rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without security holder approval in a 12 month period, under listing rule 7.1.
A listed entity must satisfy both of the following criteria at the time of its AGM in order to be eligible to seek approval under listing rule 7.1A:
On 13 October 2015 the market capitalisation of the Company was $1,740,815. At the date of the Notice, the Company was not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
The number of equity securities that the Company may issue with approval under listing rule 7.1A.2 is calculated using the following formula:
(A x D) - E
A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of shareholders under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
D = 10%
E = The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under rule 7.1 or 7.4.
A resolution under listing rule 7.1A can only be proposed as a special resolution at an eligible entity's AGM. A special resolution is a resolution that has been passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
Securities issued with approval under listing rule 7.1A must belong to a class of equity securities (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) (Equity Securities) already
quoted. Listing rule 7.1A cannot be used for placements of securities in a class that has not yet been quoted.
The Directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of resolution 5.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution 5.
Information required by listing rule 7.3A
Listing rule 7.3A prescribes the information that must be included in the Notice in relation to a resolution under listing rule 7.1A. This information is as follows:
-
The issue price of securities issued under listing rule 7.1A must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph 1.1 above, the date on which the securities are issued.
-
If resolution 5 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues additional Equity Securities there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of the existing shareholders including the risk that:
-
the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under listing rule 7.1A; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
The table below provides details of the quoted and unquoted classes of Equity Securities the Company has on issue at the date of the Notice.
Equity Security Number on issue
Quoted fully paid ordinary shares 870,407,498
The following table illustrates the potential dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' as at the date of this notice ('current variable A') and where variable 'A' is 50% and 100% greater than the current variable A:

The Company will only issue Equity Securities during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM on 18 November 2015. The approval under resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under listing rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or listing rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking).
-
The Company may issue the Equity Securities to fund the Company's exploration and development projects in the next year. The Company may also issue some Equity Securities for non-cash consideration.
-
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed any specific intentions regarding who may be offered securities under a placement pursuant to
listing rule 7.1A. No decision has been made regarding allottees. The allottees may include either existing security holders or new investors who have not previously been shareholders, or a combination of both.
-
The Company previously obtained shareholder approval under listing rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 27th November 2013.
Further details of all issues of equity securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice are as follows:
-
in respect of issues for cash; the Company issued 31,108 ordinary shares for an issue price of $0.02 per share raising $622 as a result of the exercise of unlisted options held by option holders on 30 April 2015;
-
funds raised were used for working capital purposes, in particular listing fees and share registry fees in relation to this issue; and
-
the issue represented 0.004% of the total securities on issue.
-
At the date of this Notice of meeting, the Company has on issue 870,407,498 ordinary shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

130,561,125 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
Subject to shareholder approval being sought under this resolution 4, 87,040,750 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Definitions
Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Company are, as adopted from the Australian Accounting Standards Board, those persons have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Closely related parties of the Company's KMP include certain family members, dependents and companies they control.
The Company will disregard any votes cast on the following resolutions by the following persons:
Resolution Person(s) excluded from voting
Resolution 1 The Corporations Act 2001(Cth) prohibits Directors and other key management personnel of the Company and their closely related parties voting in any capacity (including as a shareholder, proxy or personal representative) on resolution 1. The prohibition does not apply if the person has been appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on resolution 1, provided that the person who appointed the proxy is not themselves a person subject to the prohibition.
Accordingly, the Company will disregard any votes cast on resolution 1 (in any capacity) by or on behalf of Directors and other key management personnel of the Company and their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction in the proxy form.
In addition, the Chairman of the meeting can vote undirected proxies on resolution 1 where the shareholder provides the Chairman with express authorisation to do so.
Therefore, in relation to resolution 1, if you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, or if the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy by default, then unless you mark one of the voting instruction boxes for resolution 1, you will be deemed to have directed the Chairman to vote in favour of that resolution.
Resolution 3 Any person whom might participate in the proposed issue and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if the resolution is passed.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who it entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a valid proxy form; or
-
it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a director on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Resolution 4 Tychean Resources Limited and any associates.
Messrs Kennedy and Vickery and any person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if the resolution is passed.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who it entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a valid proxy form; or
-
it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a director on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Resolution 5 Any person whom might participate in the proposed issue and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if the resolution is passed.
-
it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who it entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a valid proxy form; or

On a poll, each shareholder present (in person, by proxy, attorney or representative) has one vote for each fully paid share they hold.

Proxies
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at this meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf. If the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting, the shareholder may appoint up to two proxies to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf.
If a shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the shareholder's votes. Absent this specification, each proxy will need to exercise half the votes.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
To appoint a proxy, a proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney duly authorised in writing. If the shareholder is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed in accordance with section 127
of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). To be effective, a proxy form (and, if it is signed by an attorney, the
authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company not later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting. Proxy form and authorities may be lodged:
-

-
in person to Computershare at
Level 5, 115 Grenfell Street, Adelaide SA 5000, or;

Shareholders who forward their proxy forms by fax must make available the original executed form of the proxy for production at the meeting, if called upon to do so.
Chairman acting as proxy
Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the meeting as the proxy. Where the Chairman is appointed as proxy by a shareholder entitled to cast a vote on a particular resolution and the proxy form specifies how the Chairman is to vote on the resolution, (that is, a directed proxy), the Chairman must vote in accordance with that direction.
In respect of proxies where no voting directions has been given (undirected proxies), the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of each resolution.
In relation to resolution 1, if the shareholder has appointed the Chairman as their proxy and no voting direction has been given, the shareholder will be expressly authorising the Chairman to exercise the undirected proxy in respect of resolution 1, even though the resolution is connected with the remuneration of members of the KMP of the Company. Please read the directions on the proxy form carefully, especially if you intend to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.
