EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 3.00 pm (WST) on 18 August 2008 at the Terrace Room, Somerset, 185 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – PLACEMENT OF SHARES

1.1 General

As announced on 24 June 2008, the Company proposes to undertake a placement of up to 100,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share to raise up to $6,000,000.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 100,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share ( Share Placement ).

None of the subscribers pursuant to this issue will be related parties of the Company and no one subscriber will acquire more than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company.

1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of the shareholders of a company is required for an issue of equity 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 securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of the 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting.

The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the Share Placement during the period of 3 months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

1.3 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 Share Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 100,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Annual General 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 allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.06 per Share;

5

  • (d) the Shares will be offered to investors identified by Ascot Securities Pty Ltd. No Shares will be issued to any related parties or associates of the Company;

  • (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 the Share Placement to review and progress the Company’s existing projects and to seek new projects.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – PLACEMENT OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO ASCOT SECURITIES PTY LTD

Subject to the Company raising a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement:

  • (a) in part consideration for services provided pursuant to the Ascot Agreement, the Company agreed to issue Ascot:

  • (ii) 12,000,000 Options exercisable within 3 years from the date of issue at an exercise price of 6 cents each and on the further terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 ( Ascot Options );

  • (b) the Company will appoint Mr Ian Hastings and Mr Peter Mitchell as NonExecutive Directors to the Board of the Company upon confirmation of the successful completion of the Share Placement. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Ascot Agreement, it is proposed that Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell will be issued 1,000,000 Shares each as a sign-on fee (approval of which is the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4). 50% of these Shares will be voluntarily escrowed for a period of 6 months from the date of issue with the remaining 50% to be voluntarily escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

  • (b) 6,000,000 of the Options may only be exercised if the average market price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the Options are exercised is equal to or more than $0.20.

1,000,000 of the Ascot Shares will be subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 6 months from their date of issue with the remaining 1,500,000 Ascot Shares subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months from their date of issue. The Ascot Options will be escrowed for a period of 6 months from the date of issue.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO IAN HASTINGS AND PETER MITCHELL

3.1 Background

As detailed in Section 2.1, subject to the Company raising a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement, the Company will appoint Mr Ian Hastings and Mr Peter Mitchell as Non-Executive Directors to the Board of the Company.

Ian Hastings

Ian Hastings is a lawyer and accountant and is Managing Director of Ascot Securities Pty Ltd. He has been involved in numerous capital raisings, initial public offerings and corporate reconstructions. He has previously held senior positions at ASX and ASIC and is also a Director of ASX listed Accent Resources NL.

7

Peter Mitchell

Peter Mitchell is a geologist with 37 years experience in mining, mineral exploration and finance. He has been involved in mining projects in Australia, China, Iran, Algeria, West Africa, Zambia, USA and Mongolia. He has previously held senior positions as Business Development Manager with ASX listed Terramin Australia Limited, Manager Corporate Services with Lowell Capital Limited, Resource Analyst with Prudential Bache Securities Limited and the Department of Mines & Energy Northern Territory.

3.2 General

Subject to their appointment to the Board, the Company has agreed to allot and issue 1,000,000 Shares to each of Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell ( Related Party Placement ).

Shareholder approval is required pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, securities will be issued to Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell respectively. Subject to the Company raising a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement and their subsequent appointment to the Board, Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell will be related parties of the Company by virtue of the fact that they are Directors. For this reason, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required prior to issuing the Shares to Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholders should note that the issue of Shares to Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Related Party Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued by the Company is:

  • (i) 1,000,000 Shares to Ian Hastings; and

  • (ii) 1,000,000 Shares to Peter Mitchell;

  • (b) 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. However, the Shares will be subject to voluntary escrow periods as follows:

  • (i) 50% of the Shares issued to Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell will be voluntarily escrowed for a period of 6 months from the date of issue; and

  • (ii) 50% of the Shares issued to Ian Hastings and Peter Mitchell will be voluntarily escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date of issue;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued for free as consideration for Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell being appointed to the Board and to secure the commitment of Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell to the continued growth of the Company.

8

The Board considers that the issue of Shares to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell constitute valid consideration for work to be performed for the Company. The Company acknowledges that the grant of Shares to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell is contrary to recommendation 9.3 of the ASX Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However the Board considers the grant of the Shares to be reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued not later than 1 month after the date of this meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that the Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (e) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting the latest trading price of Shares on ASX was $0.06. Therefore the total value of the Shares to be issued to Mr Hastings is $60,000 and Mr Mitchell is $60,000; and

  • (f)

no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares.

3.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or Shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Subject to the Company raising a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement and their subsequent appointment to the Board, Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell will be “related parties” of the Company as defined under the Corporations Act by virtue of being Directors of the Company. Furthermore, the issue of Shares constitutes “giving a financial benefit”.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions under the Corporations Act to the provision of financial benefits to related parties may not apply in the current circumstances.

Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell requires Shareholder approval.

3.5 Technical Information Required by Sections 217 To 227 of the Corporations Act

In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and in particular, Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to allow Shareholders to assess the proposed issue of the Shares:

  • (a) the related parties to whom the financial benefit will be given are Mr Ian Hastings and Mr Peter Mitchell;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell is as follows:

  • (i) 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Ian Hastings; and

  • (ii) 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Peter Mitchell.

  • (c) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares;

9

(d) Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell currently have an interest in the following securities in the Company:

Shares Options
Ian Hastings 1,287,500* Nil
Peter Mitchell 93,357 Nil
  • Ian Hastings has a relevant interest in these Shares. 807,500 Shares are held by Tomik Nominees Pty Ltd (a company of which Mr Hastings is the sole director and shareholder) and 480,000 Shares are held by Ascot Securities Pty Ltd (a company of which Mr Hastings is a director and Tomik Nominees Pty Ltd is a shareholder).

(e) in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Meeting the highest, lowest and latest trading price of Shares on ASX are as set out below:

Highest $0.16 19 July 2007
Lowest $0.062 10 July 2008
Last $0.063 15 July 2008
  • (f) if Shareholders approve the issue of Shares to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell, the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 1.78% (assuming Resolutions 1 to 4 are passed and the Company raises a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement and issues 70,000,000 Shares as a result);

  • (g) if Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed a total of 2,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued to Mr Hastings and Mr Mitchell. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 110,212,957 to 112,212,957 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued other than those the Subject of Resolutions 1 to 4 and on the further assumption that the Company raises a minimum of $4,200,000 pursuant to the Share Placement and issues 70,000,000 Shares as a result) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

10

that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits forgone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed;

  • (i) The Directors are 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 3 and 4.
