PROXY AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the meeting.
A proxy need not be a member of the Company and a proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
The appointment of a proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half the votes).
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting on that resolution as they think fit.
3
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the shareholder’s behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction on how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf.
If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, or does not vote on the resolution, the Chairman of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions.
Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction on how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice of General Meeting.
The proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which the proxy form is signed) or a copy which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of the proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority) must be returned to the Company Secretary at PO Box 226 Subiaco WA 6904, hand delivered to Suite 5, 95 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008 or faxed on +61-8 9388 8256 not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting, or adjourned meeting as the case may be, at which the individual named in the proxy form proposes to vote.
The proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation.
A proxy form accompanies this Notice of General Meeting.

Explanatory Notes
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
1.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
1.2 Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
1.3 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy
If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy
If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1, however if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must tick the acknowledgement on the proxy form to acknowledge that the Chair may exercise their discretion in exercising your proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .
If you appoint any other person as your proxy
5
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote, and you do not need to tick any further acknowledgement on the proxy form.
RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has 4 Directors, meaning that 1 must retire. Mr Hyunsoo Kim is retiring by rotation and, being eligible, hereby seeks re-election.
RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
3.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may, seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Capacity).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity 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 in Section 3.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing.
Resolution 3 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 2 for it to be passed.
3.2 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.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
6
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $936,565 based on closing price of $0.012 on 3 October 2012 and 78,047,108 shares on issue.
The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x B) – C
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of shares under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4.; and
-
(d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
B is 10%.
-
C is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 2:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 2.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) 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).
or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Capacity Period).
7
(c) 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 3 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.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.006 (50% decrease in current issue price) |
$0.012 (Current issue price) |
$0.018 (50% increase in current issue price) |
|
| 78,047,108 (Current) |
Shares issued | 7,804,711 Shares | 7,804,711 Shares | 7,804,711 Shares |
| Funds Raised | $46,828 | $93,657 | $140,485 | |
| 117,070,662 (50% increase)* |
Shares issued | 11,707,066 Shares | 11,707,066 Shares | 11,707,066 Shares |
| Funds Raised | $70,242 | $140,485 | $210,727 | |
| 156,094,216 (100% increase)* |
Shares issued | 15,609,422 Shares | 15,609,422 Shares | 15,609,422 Shares |
| Funds Raised | $93,657 | $187,313 | $280,970 |
*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 3 October 2012.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2012.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity and the Equity Securities issued will each be Shares.
-
In the 12 months prior to the Meeting, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities that were not either under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
8
-
(ii) 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.
-
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
(e) 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:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) 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;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
3.4 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 3.
