DATED THIS 13TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2016

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD ELIZABETH HUNT COMPANY SECRETARY

2016 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. 2016 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 2016 Annual Report.

A copy of the 2016 Annual Report will be sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed version. Otherwise, an electronic version of the 2016 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 2016 REMUNERATION REPORT

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to adopt the 30 June 2016 Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2016 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.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act. However, irrespective of whether an exception applies, shareholder approval is being sought in any case.

The grant of the Related Party Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit and James Phipps, Justin Richard and Atmavireshwar Sthapak are related parties of the Company by virtue of them being Directors ( Related Parties ).

Pursuant to the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in respect of the proposed issue of the Related Party Securities:

  • (a) the related parties to whom a financial benefit will be given are James Phipps, Justin Richard and Atmavireshwar Sthapak, who are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Securities (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided and the interest in the outcome of the resolution) to be issued to the Related Parties is 72,000,000 (as detailed in the table above);

2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 5

Explanatory Statement

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

  • (c) the Directors, who do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 respectively (other than James Phipps for Resolution 5, Justin Richard for Resolution 6 and Atmavireshwar Sthapak for Resolution 7), recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 as they are of the view that the issue the Director Options upon achievement of key milestones is an appropriate form of incentive with the aim of enhancing shareholder value and based on the exercise price, only likely to be exercised if there is sustained upward movement in Company’s share price;

  • (d) in addition to the information under ASX listing rule 10.11 above, further information that is reasonably required to make a decision and that is known to the Company and any of its Directors, is provided as follows:

(i) Effect on capital structure

If the Resolutions 5, 6 and are passed, and Milestones 2, 3 and 4 are met within the prescribed timeframe, then the Company would grant a total of 72,000,000 options.

As at the date of this notice, the Company has 592,506,073 shares on issue and 233,804,321 $0.02 quoted rights issue options. If all of the options proposed to be granted were exercised into shares and assuming all of the current options on issue are exercised into shares, this would dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders by 8.7% and raise ~$9,356,086 cash for the Company.

If all of the options proposed to be granted were exercised into shares and assuming no other options currently on issue are exercised, this would dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders by 12% and raise $4,680,000.

(ii) Company’s recent share price

The market price of the Company’s shares during the period of the options will normally determine whether or not option holders exercise their options. Thus, the options proposed to be granted are only likely to be exercised if the Company’s shares subsequently trade at a price which is higher than the exercise price. The following table sets out the trading history of the Company’s shares on the ASX over the past 12 months.

Price
Highest $0.03 on 10,13 & 16 May& 7 - 8 June 2016
Lowest $0.009 on 22,27 - 30 October & 2,4 - 6,9 – 13 & 16 November 2016
Last $0.02 on 4 October 2016

(iii) Director’s relevant interest in securities of the Company

As at the date of this Notice the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are as follows:

Related Party Shares Options (exercisable at $0.02
expiring 30 April 2017)
James Phipps Nil Nil
Justin Richard 26,678,572 18,750,000
Atmavireshwar Sthapak 900,000 Nil

(iv) Valuation of Options

The Directors consider, on the basis of the calculation methodology set out below, that the Director Options will have an indicative total value of $90,000 (at $0.002 per option in respect to Milestone 2 and 3 and $0.0002 per option in respect to Milestone 4).

This valuation has been calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following assumptions:

  • A) The Company’s share price being $0.02 per share (which is the last sale price as at 6 October 2016);

  • B) A risk-free rate of return of 1.5%; and

  • C) An estimated future volatility of the Company’s share price of 42% (based on implied volatility of the Company’s listed options).

This valuation assumes that the issue date is within one month this General Meeting. This valuation may not be a representative valuation of the options at the proposed date of issue, which expected to be as soon as practicable after the date of achieving the Milestone.

The Board is 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 5, 6 and 7.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by James Phipps, Justin Richard and Atmavireshwar Sthapak or any of their associates. However, the Company need 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 proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 6

Explanatory Statement

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

7. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

Resolution 8 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 8 for it to be passed.

An Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an Eligible Entity because (as at 18 October 2016) it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 and has a market capitalisation of less than $300m.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has 2 classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: AUQ) and Options (AUQO).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during a period of up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board believes that Resolution 8 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity. The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company current has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue being its 592,506,073 Shares (fully paid ordinary).

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company initially obtained shareholder approval for additional placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2012 Annual General Meeting. The Company did not issue any shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A capacity in the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice of Meeting as the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A capacity had not been put to shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 8:

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

  • The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 592,506,073 Shares and has capacity to issue 77,375,911 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

  • The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

    • 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

    • the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

  • Risk of voting dilution

  • Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  • The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 19 September 2016.

  • The issue price set out above is the issue price for the Rights Issue completed on 9 August 2016.

  • The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares (it does not include Partly Paid Shares even though Partly Paid Shares may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity). It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  • The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 8

Explanatory Statement

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

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

  • Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may decide to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity to raise funds for the purpose of developing existing resource projects and/or acquiring additional JORC compliant resource projects. Funds may also be raised to fund working capital requirements of the Company relevant at, or about, the time of the issue.

The Company may also issue Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release on valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the deemed issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • the purpose of the issue;

  • alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • prevailing market conditions; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Compliance with ASX listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

  • a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 8.

Recommendation

The Board supports the approval of the additional placement capacity and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 .

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment do not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

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

  4. 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.

  5. If a representative of a company shareholder is to attend the meeting, a properly executed original (or certified copy) of the appropriate ‘Appointment of Corporate Representative’ should be produced for admission to the meeting. Previously lodged Appointments of Corporate Representative will be disregarded by the Company.
