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.

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.

2

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.

Corporate Representatives

Any corporation that is a shareholder of the Company may authorise (by a form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Chairman) a natural person to act as its representative at any general meeting.

Voting Entitlement

The Company has determined that for the purposes of the meeting, shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as holding the shares at 7.00 pm on 22 September 2012. Accordingly, transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

Explanatory Notes

Resolution 1: Approval of previous issue of securities

The ASX Listing Rules restrict the number of securities which a listed company may issue in any 12 month period without the approval of shareholders to 15% of the number of securities on issue at the start of the period subject to certain adjustments and permitted exceptions. This resolution seeks shareholder approval to the previous issue of securities in the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. The purpose of seeking shareholder approval of the issue of securities in this resolution is to ensure that the previous issue does not reduce the Company's placement capacity under the Listing Rules.

The shares issued requiring approval by this resolution rank equally with all shares currently on issue.

As announced to ASX on 13 August 2012, the Company raised $95,647 from a fully paid ordinary share issue of 4,782,350 shares at 2 cents each and 4,782,350 free-attaching unlisted options.

The investors were existing shareholders and new sophisticated investors in Australia.

The options are free-attaching, unlisted options that expire on 30 June 2017, are exercisable at 3 cents each and otherwise on terms which have been approved by ASX as being consistent with ASX Listing Rule requirements.

The new funds raised will be used to continue expenditure on its existing tenements and for working capital purposes.

The directors of the Company unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 2: Approval of proposed issue of securities

As announced to ASX on 20 August 2012 the Company proposes raising a further $342,735 from a fully paid ordinary share issue of 17,136,777 shares at 2 cents each and 17,136,777 free-attaching, unlisted options.

This resolution seeks shareholder approval of the proposed issue of securities in the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

The purpose of seeking shareholder approval of the issue of securities in this resolution is to ensure that the proposed issue does not reduce the Company's future placement capacity.

Other than the proposed issue of securities to the Directors (as set out below), the allottees were determined through the same process as referred to in the explanatory notes to Resolution 1 above, and the purpose of the issue is the same referred to above. The securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the meeting however, the company expects to issue the securities no later than 1 month from the date of the meeting.

The shares to be issued will rank equally with all shares currently on issue.

The options are free-attaching, unlisted options that expire on 30 June 2017, are exercisable at 3 cents each and otherwise on terms which have been approved by ASX as being consistent with ASX Listing Rule requirements.

The new funds raised will be used to continue expenditure on its existing tenements and for working capital purposes.

The directors of the Company unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3: Approval of proposed issue of securities to Directors

This resolution seeks shareholder approval of the proposed issue of securities in the Company for the purposes

4

of Listing Rule 10.11. Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue securities to a related party without approval of the shareholders.

The purpose of seeking shareholder approval of the issue of securities in this resolution is to seek approval of the proposed issue to certain Directors as follows:

Director Name Shares Amount Invested $ Options
P. Harman 2,500,000 $50,000 2,500,000
J. Williams 2,500,000 $50,000 2,500,000
M. Ratez 500,000 $10,000 500,000
Total 5,500,000 $110,000 5,500,000

Even though these securities form part of those the subject of Resolution 2, an additional approval in the case of shares issues to Directors is required.

The issue price will be 2 cents each, being the same price paid by investors under the placement. Each share will rank equally with all shares currently on issue. The options are free-attaching, unlisted and expire on 30 June 2017, are exercisable at 3 cents each and otherwise on terms which have been approved by ASX as being consistent with ASX Listing Rule requirements.

The securities are expected to be allotted and issued immediately following shareholder approval, and in any event, no later than 1 month from the date of the meeting.

The new funds raised will be used to continue expenditure on its existing tenements and for working capital purposes.

Resolution 4: Change of Name

It is proposed that the Company change its name to Callabonna Resources Limited.

The Company does not propose changing its ASX code which will stay as CUU.

Resolution 5: Re-election of Director – Jeffrey Williams

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for reelection.

  4. (b) a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed scheme of arrangement in relation to the Company the effect of which may be that a person will have a relevant interest in at least 90% of the ordinary shares in the Company and shareholders pass the resolution by the requisite majorities, any Options not exercised by the date which is seven days after the date of the meeting shall immediately lapse.
