EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company.
The directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
1. THE RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 1 - Ratification of the issue of 21,000,000 Shares to raise $10 million
On 23 February 2012, the Directors of the Company issued a total of 21,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.48 per Share to raise $10,080,000 before costs.
The Company seeks that shareholders ratify the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. Listing Rule 7.4 enables shareholders of a company to ratify an issue of securities that was made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. or under an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, and which otherwise did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
If the issue of shares is ratified by this resolution then the issue of these securities will not count towards the Company’s placement capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(a) A total of 21,000,000 Shares were issued;
-
(b) The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.48 each.
-
(c) The Shares issued were ordinary fully paid shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary fully paid shares issued in the capital of the Company;

(d) The Shares were issued to institutional and sophisticated investor clients of Azure Capital Limited, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and BBY Limited, none of whom were related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) Funds raised from the issue of the above Shares will be used to fund the final commissioning phase of the Company’s 3Mtpa processing plant, to develop the satellite pits in close proximity to the processing plant, continue drilling to identify satellite resources and for general working capital purposes.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board believes that refreshing the Company’s ability to issue Shares within the 15% limit is in the best interests of the Company, thereby maintaining its flexibility to make placements of securities without seeking shareholder approval if the need or opportunity arises. Accordingly, the Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
$0.345 per Share and 28,985,507 free-attaching Options to raise up to approximately $20,000,000, before costs of the issue. The placement is structured as follows:
-
(a) Tranche 1 – 39,117,061 Shares at an issue price of $0.345 per Share and 19,558,531 free-attaching Options to raise $13,495,386; and
-
(b) Tranche 2 – approximately 18,853,953 Shares at an issue price of $0.345 per Share and 9,426,977 Options to raise up to approximately $6,504,614.
The allotment of Shares under Tranche 1 occurred on 24 April 2012.
The allotment of Shares under Tranche 2 is subject to the passing of Resolution 3 and, if approved, will be placed with various institutional and sophisticated investors.
Resolution 2 – Ratification of the Issue of 39,117,061 Shares and 19,558,546 Options (Tranche 1)
On 24 April 2012, the Company issued a total of 39,117,061 Shares at an issue price of $0.345 per Share and 19,558,546 freeattaching Options to raise $13,495,386 before costs.
The Company seeks that shareholders ratify the issue of Shares and Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. Listing Rule 7.4 enables the shareholders of a company to ratify an issue of securities provided that the issue does not fall within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and did not breach the 15% restriction contained in Listing Rule 7.1.
If the issue is ratified by this resolution then the Company will be entitled to issue further securities in accordance with the terms and restrictions of Listing Rule 7.1.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(a) a total of 39,117,061 Shares and 19,558,546 Options were issued;
-
(b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.345 each. For every two Shares issued there was one Option granted for no additional consideration, exercisable at $0.48 each with an expiry date of 1 May 2015;

Background to Resolutions 2 and 3

The Board believes that refreshing the Company’s ability to issue Shares within the 15% limit is in the best interests of the Company, thereby maintaining its flexibility to make placements of securities without seeking shareholder approval if the need or opportunity arises. In addition, the issue of the Shares and Options forms an important element of the funding of the completion of the Bibiani Gold Project following the first gold pour on 29 March 2012. It is recommended that Shareholders consider the recent announcements lodged with ASX in relation to the Bibiani Gold Project.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
For these reasons, the Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Voting intention
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion statement relating to Resolution 2 is included in the Notice.
Resolution 3 – Approval of Issue of up to 18,853,953 Shares and 9,426,977 Options (Tranche 2) Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the total shares on issue at the commencement of that period. One circumstance in which an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting.
Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1:
-
(a) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company is 18,853,953 Shares and 9,426,977 Options;
-
(b) as at the date of this Notice the identity of the allottees is not known. However, all the allottees of the Tranche 2 Shares will be international and domestic institutional and sophisticated investor clients of BBY Limited, none of whom will be related parties of the Company;
-
(c) the issue price of the Shares will be $0.345 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting (or such later date as is permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that allotment will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the Shares will be issued on the same terms as, and will rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares. Each Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) Share at an exercise price of $0.48, and will expire on 1 May 2015. Other terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure A; and
-
(f) the funds raised will underpin the development of the Company’s Bibiani Gold Project in Ghana where the Company poured its first gold in March. This includes the final commissioning phase of the 3Mtpa processing plant, mining and development of resources and reserves in the satellite pits in close proximity to the processing plant and as well as general working capital purposes.
services a fixed sum not exceeding an aggregate maximum as determined by the Company in general meeting. Currently, the fixed sum payable to non-executive directors is $200,000 Listing Rule 10.17 prohibits a company increasing the amount of fees it pays to its directors unless the increase is approved by shareholders.
Resolution 4 proposes an increase in the level of non-executive directors’ fees and seeks such Shareholder approval. Presently the three paid non-executive directors of the Company receive an aggregate sum of $140,000 per annum. It is proposed that the total maximum amount payable by the Company each year to non-executive directors be set at an aggregate amount of $500,000. Therefore, if Shareholders pass this resolution, the amount of $200,000 fixed as the aggregate annual amount payable to non-executive directors will increase by $300,000 to a maximum annual aggregate of $500,000.
The Company’s Constitution allows the directors to divide the total aggregate amount between themselves in such manner and proportion as they may from time to time agree.
It should be noted that any increase in the proposed aggregate amount will not be utilised immediately. However, it allows some scope for additions to the Board, should the Board wish to appoint additional non-executive director(s) in the future. The aggregate sum of $500,000 has been determined by the nonexecutive directors having regard to market-competitive remuneration levels required to attract, retain and fairly reward non-executive directors, and to enable non-executive directors to increase remuneration levels over time without frequent reference of the aggregate sum to Shareholders for approval.
It is not proposed that executive directors receive any fees for acting as a Director.
Directors’ Recommendation
As the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 they make no recommendation to Shareholders concerning this resolution.
Voting intention
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
2. ENQUIRIES
