IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING PROXY VOTES ON RESOLUTION 1

The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties to vote on the advisory resolution to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. At this year’s Annual General Meeting, these laws will only impact Resolution 1.

If the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman to vote ‘for’ or ‘against’, or ‘abstain’ from voting on, Resolution 1 on the proxy form.

If the Chairman is your proxy or is appointed as your proxy by default, the Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy and you do not direct the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1, the proxy form provides that you acknowledge you are expressly authorising the Chairman to vote in favour of Resolution 1 even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

If you appoint a member of Key Management Personnel of the Company (other than the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, you must direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast.

For these reasons, Shareholders are encouraged to closely review the instructions on the proxy form and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions.

VOTING ENTITLEMENTS

For the purposes of section 1074E(2) of the Corporations Act and regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Company has determined that the shareholding of each person for the purposes of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Company’s register as at 4.00 pm WST on Tuesday, 21 November 2017. Accordingly, transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at Quest West Perth, 54 Kings Park Road, West Perth 6005, Western Australia, on Thursday, 23 November 2017 at 3.00 pm WST.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of Annual General Meeting in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. Capitalised terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meaning given to them in the glossary contained in this Explanatory Memorandum.

1. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the Meeting the Financial Report, Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM.

In accordance with section 250S of the Corporations Act , Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to those reports but no formal resolution to adopt the reports will be put to Shareholders at the AGM (save for Resolution 1 for the adoption of the Remuneration Report).

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask the Company’s auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report. In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about the finances of the Company, may be submitted no later than five business days before the Meeting to the registered office of the Company.

A copy of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report is available on the ASX website or at www.energiaminerals.com within the ASX Announcements located in the Investor Centre section of the website.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT

Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ Report contain a Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act .

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) discusses the Company’s policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and employees;

  • (b) addresses the relationship between the remuneration of the Company’s executive officers and the performance of the Company; and

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Key Management Personnel of the Company named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017.

Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question as to whether the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 is to be adopted. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted.

Page 6

Pursuant to section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act , Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is of an advisory nature only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

In accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act , Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

The Corporations Act provides that if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of the approval of the applicable Directors’ report must stand for re-election.

At the Company’s 2016 annual general meeting, less than 25% of votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report voted against its adoption. As such, regardless of the outcome on Resolution 1, a spill resolution will not be required to be considered at the AGM.

If you intend to appoint a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (including any Director or the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, please refer to the important information contained in the Notice of Meeting under the heading “Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolution 1”.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR MARCELLO CARDACI AS A DIRECTOR

Article 78 of the Company’s constitution provides that a Director (other than the Managing Director) may not hold office for a continuous period in excess of three years or past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting for reelection. If no Director is required to submit for re-election, the Director or Directors to retire at the annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their election (other than the Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alexander Burns, who is not required to stand for re-election as he is currently performing the duties of the Managing Director).

Mr Cardaci retires from office in accordance with this requirement, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company. Mr Cardaci currently holds the position of nonexecutive Director.

A brief profile of Mr Cardaci is set out below.

Mr Marcello D Cardaci BJuris, LLB, B.Com

Mr Cardaci is a partner of Gilbert + Tobin’s Corporate Advisory Group. Mr Cardaci advises on a range of corporate and commercial matters including public and private equity fund raisings and public and private mergers, acquisitions and divestment. Mr Cardaci also regularly advises on issues relating to the Corporations Act and Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules. He has cross-border experience, having advised on numerous overseas transactions including capital raisings, takeovers, schemes of arrangements and the structuring of acquisitions and joint ventures in numerous countries. Mr Cardaci has also lectured in the securities law course conducted by the Securities Institute of Australia and is a past committee member of the State Branch of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association Limited.

Mr Cardaci was appointed as a non-executive Director on 7 October 2014, and was re-elected by Shareholders on 24 November 2016. Mr Cardaci is the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee, Nomination Committee and Audit & Risk Committee.

The Directors (excluding Mr Cardaci) do not consider Mr Cardaci to be an independent Director.

Page 7

During the past three years, Mr Cardaci has also served as a director of the following listed companies:

(a) Manhattan Corporation Limited – appointed December 2006; and (b) Style Limited – appointed May 2013 and resigned 10 August 2015;

The Directors (with Mr Cardaci abstaining in respect of his own re-election) unanimously support the re-election of Mr Cardaci and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – ELECTION OF MR STEPHEN HILLS AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 81.2 of the Company’s constitution provides that any Director (other than the Managing Director) appointed by the Board since the last annual general meeting, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, holds office only until the termination of the next annual general meeting of the Company following their appointment, and is then eligible for re-election at that next annual general meeting.

Mr Hills was appointed as Finance Director on 26 June 2017 following the resignation of Mr Kim Robinson as Managing Director of the Company.

Mr Hills ceases to hold office at the termination of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Company’s constitutional requirements and offers himself for re-election as Directors of the Company.

The Directors (excluding Mr Hills) do not consider Mr Hills to be an independent Director given Mr Hills’ current and former executive positions with the Company.

A brief profile of Mr Hills is set out below:

Mr Stephen Hills B.Com B. Compt (Hons) CA

Mr Hills was appointed Finance Director after having initially joined the Company on 1 March 2017 as Chief Financial Officer. He has extensive experience in senior finance roles in public companies listed on the ASX and TSX, the past fourteen years of which have been with mining companies with gold, nickel and copper producing assets.

Before joining the Company he was with the Democratic Republic of Congo based copper producer Tiger Resources Limited from 2010, where he was involved with the financing, commissioning and operations of the Kipoi copper project in Katanga province. Prior to this, he was Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of Mirabela Nickel Limited from 2006, where he was involved in the company’s listing on the TSX and subsequent capital raisings and the initial syndicated project financing completed in 2009 for the Santa Rita nickel mine in Brazil. From 2003 he was the Chief Financial Officer of Botswana-based gold producer Gallery Gold Limited, and since the early 1990’s was Chief Financial Officer of Scientific Services Limited which provided laboratory services to the resources sector.

Mr Hills is a Chartered Accountant and has a B.Com from the University of Natal and a B.Compt (Hons) from the University of South Africa.

During the past three years Mr Hills has served as a director of Tiger Resources Limited (appointed 21 February 2013 and resigned 25 May 2016).

The Directors (with Mr Hills abstaining) unanimously support the election of Mr Hills and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Page 8

5. RESOLUTION 4 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND CONSTITUTION

The Company’s current name, Energia Minerals Limited, originated from the Company’s original listing on the ASX in 2009 when the focus of the Company was on uranium exploration. Since then the Company has divested its main uranium assets and the Directors consider that it is an appropriate time to change the name of the Company to reflect its current activities and future strategic direction.

Section 157 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name and that the change of name takes effect when ASIC alters the details of a company’s registration.

Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may modify its constitution by special resolution.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders to change its name to Alta Zinc Limited and modify its Constitution to reflect the change of name. Approval is sought by special resolution, which requires at least 75% of the votes that are cast on Resolution 4 to be in favour of the Resolution. If this Resolution is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

Subject to receipt of the requisite Shareholder approval, there will be a change to the Company’s ASX listing code from EMX to AZI which will be announced on the ASX’s announcement platform when the change of name takes effect. A copy of the Company’s updated Constitution will also be attached to this announcement.

This change of name will not, in itself, affect the legal status of the Company or any of its assets or liabilities.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% SHARE ISSUE CAPACITY

6.1 Background to Resolution 5

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without Shareholder approval, the Company must not issue or agree to issue new Equity Securities constituting more than 15% of its total issued capital within a 12 month period (excluding any issue of Equity Securities approved by Shareholders and other various exceptions which are not relevant for current purposes).

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities may seek shareholder approval at their annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to a further 10% of their issued share capital ( 10% Share Issue Capacity ) in addition to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The 10% Share Issue Capacity must be approved by a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% or more of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

An eligible entity for the purpose 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. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity.

Page 9

Any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A:

  • (a) must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities; and

  • (b) must be calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

As at the date of this Notice the Company has quoted Shares and unquoted Options on issue.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity. The approval of Resolution 5 will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity in addition to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for Resolution 5:

Minimum price

The minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity is no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Potential risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and Equity Securities are issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the ordinary security holders of the Company. There is a specific risk that:

  • (a) the market price for Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue than on the date of the AGM; and

  • (b) the Equity Securities may be issued:

  • (i) at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date; or

  • (ii) as consideration (or part thereof) for the acquisition of a new asset, both of which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that the variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.

Page 10

Potential risk of economic and voting dilution (Cont’d)

The table shows:

  • (a) examples of where variable ‘A’ is at its current level, and where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and by 100%;

  • (b) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 16 October 2017, being $0.017, (the current market price as at the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of this Notice), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and

  • (c) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity are issued.

The table below has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The market price is $0.017 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2017.

  2. The current issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2).

  3. The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.

  4. No Options are exercised prior to the date of issue of any Shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.

  5. The table shows the effect of issues of the Company’s Shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

  6. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to any particular Shareholder (taking into account that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM).

  7. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  8. The issue price of the 10% Share Issue Capacity used in the table does not take into account discount to market price (if any).

Timing of potential If Shareholder approval of Resolution 5 is obtained, Equity issues Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and

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

Purpose of potential issues

Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (a) if Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, for the acquisition of new assets or other investments.

  • (b) if Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use funds raised to further progress its exploration projects and for working capital purposes.

The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.

Page 12

Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
