EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at Suite 1002, Level 10, 131 Macquarie Street, Sydney, New South Wales on Monday, 23 September 2013 at 10:30 am (AEST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice.

This Explanatory Memorandum includes the following information to assist Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the Resolutions:

Section 2: Action to be taken by Shareholders
Section 3: Background to applicable Listing Rules
Section 4: Resolution 1 – Approval of Issue of Shares to Related
Parties
Section 5: Resolution 2 – Approval of Issue of Options to Prakash
Hariharan
Section 6: Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities

2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

A proxy need not be a Shareholder. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint two proxies and may

4

specify the proportion or number of votes which each proxy is appointed to exercise.

The Company must receive your duly completed Proxy Form by no later than 10:30 am (AEST) on Saturday, 21 September 2013.

Any corporate Shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company and/or registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

3. Background to applicable Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1, known as the ‘15% rule’, limits the capacity of a company to issue securities without the approval of its shareholders. In broad terms, that Listing Rule provides that a company may not, in a twelve (12) month period, issue securities equal to more than fifteen per cent. (15%) of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of the twelve (12) month period, unless the issue is first approved by shareholders or otherwise it comes within one of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 states that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any of the following persons without the approval of holders of ordinary securities:

  • (a) a related party; or

  • (b) a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in the ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

A ‘related party’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act includes a director of a public company. Accordingly Graham Ascough, Simon Taylor, Allan Pickett, David Gower and Prakash Hariharan are related parties of the Company.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, as Shareholder approval for Resolution 1 and Resolution 2, is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 provides that further Shareholder approval in respect of the substance of Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 is not required to be obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4. Resolution 1 – Approval of Issue of Placement Shares to Related Parties

As announced on 3 July 2013 the Company completed a Placement to sophisticated and professional investors of 33,630,000 ordinary shares at $0.05 per share ( Placement Shares ) raising a total of $1,681,500. As part of the Placement, Graham Ascough, Simon Taylor, Allan Pickett and David Gower,

5

Directors of the Company, subscribed for a total of 2,050,000 Placement Shares and have already deposited the funds in relation to the Placement Shares with the Company.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 2,050,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.05.

For clarity, the table below notes the Directors who are subject to this Resolution.

Director Placement Shares
proposed to be
issued
Graham Ascough 300,000
Simon Taylor 500,000
Allan Pickett 250,000
David Gower 1,000,000
**Total ** 2,050,000

Listing Rule 10.11 states that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any of the following persons without the approval of holders of ordinary securities (subject to certain exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 that are not applicable to the circumstances of the proposed issue of Shares that are the subject of Resolution 1):

  • (a) a related party; or

  • (b) a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in the ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

Because Graham Ascough, Simon Taylor, Allan Pickett and David Gower are Directors and any entity that they control is, by definition, a related party to the Company, for the purposes of the Listing Rules. However, if Shareholder approval to Resolution 1 is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, further Shareholder approval to Resolution 1 is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 (see Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14).

It is the view of the Directors that Shareholder approval of Resolution 1 is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the proposed issue of Placement Shares that are the subject of Resolution 1 comes within the arm’s length terms exception in Section 210 of the Corporations Act. The Shares that are proposed to be issued are on identical terms to that of the capital raising completed on 3 July 2013 by the Company, and as such, the Directors are of the view that such issue is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information be provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the shares will be issued to Graham Ascough, Simon Taylor, Allan Pickett and David Gower, Directors of the Company, or their nominees;

  • (b) the maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued under Resolution 1 is 300,000 Placement Shares to Graham Ascough, 500,000 Placement Shares to Simon Taylor, 250,000 Placement Shares to Allan Pickett and 1,000,000 Placement Shares David Gower (collectively being 2,050,000 Placement Shares);

  • (c) the Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.05 per Share;

6

  • (d) the Company proposes to issue the Placement Shares on 23 September 2013 but in any case by no later than 1 month after the date of the date of passage of Resolution 1; and

  • (e) the Shares to be issued will rank equally with, and be on the same terms as, the Company’s then issued Shares;

  • (f) the funds raised will be used to supplement the Company’s existing working capital and to provide funding for further testing of the Company’s Rio Grande phosphate projects in Southern Brazil.

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to Resolution 1

The Directors, with the exception of Graham Ascough, Simon Taylor, Allan Pickett and David Gower, whom have abstained from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 1, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it provides additional working capital to the Company as part of the Company’s wider capital raising.

Voting Exclusion Statement

  • (i) In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13.6, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by:

  • Graham Ascough, who is to receive securities in relation to the Company under this Resolution; and

  • an associate of Graham Ascough.

  • (ii) In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13.6, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by:

  • Simon Taylor, who is to receive securities in relation to the Company under this Resolution; and

  • an associate of Simon Taylor.

  • (iii) In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13.6, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by:

  • Allan Pickett, who is to receive securities in relation to the Company under this Resolution; and

  • an associate of Allan Pickett.

  • (iv) In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13.6, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by:

  • David Gower, who is to receive securities in relation to the Company under this Resolution; and

  • an associate of Mr David Gower.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

7

  • it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

5. Resolution 2 – Approval of Issue of Options to Prakash Hariharan

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 1,500,000 Options to Prakash Hariharan, or his nominee on the following terms:

  • 500,000 Options vesting immediately each with an exercise price of 23 cents and an exercise period expiry date of 30 September 2016;

  • 500,000 Options vesting after 12 months service each exercisable at 30 cents and with an exercise period expiry date of 30 September 2017; and

  • 500,000 Options vesting after 18 months service each exercisable at 40 cents and with an exercise expiry date of 30 September 2017.

Prakash Hariharan has not been issued with Options in the past as he is newly appointed Director, having been appointed on 12 March 2013.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following disclosure is made in respect of the Options proposed to be granted to Prakash Hariharan, subject to the passing of Resolution 2:

  • (a) The Company proposes to issue Options to Prakash Hariharan or his nominee.

  • (b) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Prakash Hariharan is 1,500,000.

  • (c) The Company proposes to issue the Options pursuant to Resolution 2 on 27 September 2013, but in any case no later than 1 month after the date of passage of Resolution 2.

  • (d) The Options will be issued for no cash consideration and the material terms of the Options are set out at Annexure 1.

  • (e) There will be no funds raised by the issue of the Options under Resolution 2. Any proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Options will be used to provide additional working capital to the Company.

  • (f) Voting Exclusions

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13.6, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 2 by:

8

  • Prakash Hariharan, who is to receive securities in relation to the Company under this Resolution; and

  • an associate of Prakash Hariharan.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  • it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

It is the view of the Directors that Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the proposed issue of Options that are the subject of Resolution 2 is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to Resolution 2

The Directors have refrained from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 2 as there may be a perceived conflict in providing a recommendation on a fellow Director’s remuneration.

6. Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of shares, or securities convertible into shares, representing more than 15% of its ordinary issued capital in any twelve (12)-month period.

On 9 July 2013 the Company completed a Placement and issued 31,710,000 ordinary shares in the Company, of which 18,160,000 ordinary shares were issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 13,550,000 ordinary shares were issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Shareholder approval of the issues of securities set out below is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to re-instate the Company’s capacity to issue up to 15% of its ordinary issued capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if required, in the next twelve (12) months without seeking further Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the total number of securities issued was 18,160,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.05 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued rank equally with, and be on the same terms as, the existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors and professional investors;

  • (e) the recipients of the Shares were not related parties of the Company; and

9

  • (f) the funds raised will be used to supplement the Company’s existing working capital and to provide funding for further testing of the Company’s Rio Grande phosphate projects in Southern Brazil.

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to

Resolution 3

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as it allows the Company to ratify the above issue of securities and retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next twelve (12) months without seeking further Shareholder approval. Subject to the noted exclusions, the Directors’ intend to vote all their Shares in favour of Resolution 3.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 by any person who participated in the issue of any of the securities that are the subject of Resolution 3, and any associate of any such person.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote on Resolution 3 if it is cast by:

  • (a) a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy form; or

  • (b) the person chairing the Meeting, as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form, to vote as the proxy decides.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS PROXY FORM

Your Name and Address

This is your name and address as it appears on the company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

Appointment of a Proxy

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person in Step 1. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the company’s share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

  • (b) return both forms together.

Signing Instructions

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
