2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 2

Explanatory Statement

Alara Resources Limited A.B.N. 27 122 892 719

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is provided to the shareholders of Alara Resources Limited ( Alara or Company or AUQ ) pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act (Cth) 2001 ( Corporations Act ) and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ). This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting ( AGM ).

1. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the AGM the Directors’ Report, Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM. These reports are contained within the Company’s 2015 Annual Report.

A copy of the 2015 Annual Report will be sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed version. Otherwise, an electronic version of the 2015 Annual Report may be viewed and downloaded from the Company’s website: www.alararesources.com or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX Code: AUQ or emailed to shareholders upon request to [email protected], when available.

Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports and on the business and operations of the Company but no resolution to adopt the reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.

2. ADVISORY NON-BINDING RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF 2015 REMUNERATION REPORT

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to adopt the 30 June 2014 Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2014 Annual Report (refer above for information on accessing the report).

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present to its shareholders for adoption the Remuneration Report.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to “Key Management Personnel” (being the Company’s Directors and Executives identified in the Remuneration Report) ( KMP ), sets out remuneration details for each KMP and any service agreements and sets out the details of any performance based and equity based benefits provided to KMP (where applicable).

Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Directors’ Recommendations

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out in the Notice of AGM), that each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of AGM. In particular, the Restricted Voters may not vote on this resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP. The Chair will use any undirected/open proxies to vote in favour of this resolution.

The Company encourages shareholders to indicate their voting direction FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN, in relation to each resolution, including Resolution 1.

If shareholders have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (or the Chair of the Meeting becomes their proxy by default), shareholders can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN from voting on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate Voting Direction box opposite that resolution.

However, if the Chair of the Meeting is proxy under the Proxy Form and shareholders do not mark any of the Voting Direction boxes opposite Resolution 1, shareholders are, in effect, directing the Chair to vote “FOR” the resolution as the Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this resolution.

2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 4

Explanatory Statement

Alara Resources Limited A.B.N. 27 122 892 719

6. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 6 – AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S CONSTITUTION

6.1. Introduction

The Company’s existing constitution ( Constitution ) was first adopted by members on 19 March 2007 and subsequently updated on 17 September 2008. Since that time, there have been a number of amendments to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules. Furthermore, the Company has a large number of shareholder who hold non-marketable parcels, and the Board wishes to amend the Constitution to facilitate the compulsory sale of these parcels. Accordingly, the has reviewed its Constitution and proposes a number of amendments which are intended to update the Constitution for those changes to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

A copy of the existing Constitution and a document showing the proposed amendments as marked up text are available for inspection at the Company’s office or website (www.alararesources.com). A complete copy of the Constitution and Proposed Amended Constitution will also be sent by mail or email to any Shareholder who requests it. Requests for inspection or copies should be directed to the Company Secretary.

6.2. Summary of proposed amendments

  • (a) Payment of dividends - The proposed amendments provide for a number of changes to broaden the methods by which the Company may pay dividends to shareholders. These changes have been made to reflect amendments to the Corporations Act which mean companies are no longer restricted to paying dividends out of profits.

  • (b) Sale of non-marketable parcels – The Company currently has a large number of holders of nonmarketable parcels (holdings with a value of less than $500), which significantly adds to the Company’s compliance costs. The Company has previously tried to reduce the number, however the Constitution limits the Board’s ability to do this. The Constitution currently provides that sales of non-marketable parcels must for not less than the mean weighted average sale price of the relevant securities sold on ASX during a period of 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the relevant Notice Date, rounded off to the nearest half cent or, if there are no sales of the relevant securities on ASX during that period the sale price which in the opinion of the directors is a fair and reasonable sale price for the relevant securities immediately prior to the relevant Notice Date.

The proposed amendments will amend the definition of Minimum Sale Price to be as follows:

“Minimum Sale Price” means the weighted average sale price of the relevant securities sold on ASX during a period of 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the relevant Notice Date, rounded off to the nearest half cent or a sale price which in the opinion of the directors is a fair and reasonable sale price for the relevant securities immediately prior to the relevant Notice Date.

The amendments also relieve the Company of the obligation to pay holders of non-marketable parcels, where the consideration to be paid is less than $5.

  • (c) In line with current market practice and as permitted under the Listing Rules, the proposed amendments will enable the Company to require the sale of unmarketable parcels of shares. Similar provisions are included in the Existing Constitution; however, the process under the proposed amendments is more flexible for the Company. This requirement may be applied to a shareholder holding less than a marketable parcel of shares (currently to the value of $500 or less) which may be sold for the benefit of that shareholder.

  • (d) Forms of directors’ remuneration - The proposed amendment allows the directors to participate in share plans and to receive other non-cash benefits as part of their normal remuneration. If the proposed amendment is adopted, the Company would still need to comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act (where applicable), including the requirement for shareholder approval to issue securities to a director under Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14.

  • (e) Administrative and technical amendments - Other changes of a more administrative nature are proposed to be made under the proposed amendments, having regard to changes in the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules and current market practice including updating relevant definitions to reflect various changes made to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the adoption of the Existing Constitution.

6.3. Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

  • (b) if the Chair is your proxy, you expressly authorise him to vote as he sees fit on Resolution 1 under the Proxy Form even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chair to vote against these resolutions or to abstain from voting.

  1. You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the voting direction boxes opposition each resolution. If you do not mark a voting direction box your proxy may, to the extent permitted by law, vote as they choose. If you mark more than one voting direction box on a resolution your vote will be invalid on that resolution.

  2. Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.

  3. A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights.

  4. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  5. If you mark the abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item on a show of hands or on a poll and that your shares are not to be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.
