EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at First floor, The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Tuesday, 7 June 2011 at 10:00am WST.
The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of Meeting in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. 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 Background to Share Placement
On 15 April 2011, the Company announced a capital raising comprising a two-tranche placement of 40 million fully paid ordinary Shares to raise $4.8 million (gross), at an issue price of $0.12 per Share. Southern Cross Equities and Patersons Securities have been engaged as joint lead-managers for the purposes of conducting the Share Placement. Total funds raised under the Share Placement will be used for:
-
(a) further exploration at the Company’s highly prospective Carnarvon Basin projects, including the Carley Bore deposit;
-
(b) conducting heritage surveys on defined drill targets at the Company’s promising tenements in South Australia;
-
(c) the pursuit of the granting of the uranium exploration licenses in Italy; and
-
(d) general working capital.
The Share Placement is to be conducted in two tranches. The first tranche of 9,775,000 Shares ( Tranche 1 Shares ) was placed on or about 20 April 2011 under the Company's available 15% placement capacity. The balance of the Share Placement, being 30,225,000 Shares ( Tranche 2 Shares ), is subject to Shareholder approval as set out in Resolution 2.
Subject to any adjustments arising from any issues of securities by the Company, and assuming that all of the Shares are issued in respect of tranche 2, the following summary sets out the current securities on issue plus the Shares to be issued under tranche 1 and 2:
| Shares | Unlisted Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Securities on issue prior to the Share Placement |
69,500,0051 | 21,400,000 |
| Securities pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2 | 40,000,000 | - |
| Securities on issue post-Meeting | 109,500,005 | 21,400,000 |
1 27,000,000 shares are restricted until 24/12/11
It is also proposed that a number of the Directors will participate in the Share Placement. Approval for their participation is provided for in Resolutions 3 to 6.
Further information in respect of each Resolution is set out in the remainder of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Page 5
2 Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares pursuant to Share Placement
2.1 Approvals required
Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders. Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if shareholders subsequently ratify it.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares has been completed and was within the 15% limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1. However, without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the issue will be counted towards the Company's 15% capacity and will therefore reduce the Company's capacity to issue Shares in the future without obtaining Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, approval is sought from Shareholders in order for the Company to refresh its 15% capacity and maximise its ability to issue further Shares up to the 15% limit without obtaining Shareholder Approval.
2.2
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:
| Number of Shares allotted | 9,775,000 Shares |
|---|---|
| Issue price of Tranche 1 Share |
$0.12 per Share |
| Terms of the Tranche 1 | The Tranche 1 Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and are on the same terms as existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. |
| Allottees | Professional Investors who have subscribed for the Tranche 1 Shares pursuant to the Share Placement. These Professional Investors are domestic and international institutional investors and other professional or sophisticated clients of the Company's appointed capital raising managers, Southern Cross Equities Limited (Southern Cross) and Patersons Securities Limited (Patersons). None of the allottees are related parties of the Company. |
| Use or intended use of the funds raised |
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares for the purposes described in section 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum. |
2.3
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
The Directors encourage you to support the capital raising the subject of this Resolution as your Directors intend to do so. The additional funding derived from the Share Placement will enable the Company to progress its exploration activities providing an opportunity for Shareholders to benefit from the prospectivity of the Company’s assets.
3 Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of Shares pursuant to Share Placement
3.1 Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares under the Share Placement. Further details regarding the Share Placement are set out in Section 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

The Company is seeking approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 30,225,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.12 per Share to Professional Investors.
Page 6
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders
| Maximum number of Shares to be issued |
30,225,000 Shares |
|---|---|
| Date by which Shares will be issued |
Expected to be 3 June 2011 but in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting, and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date. |
| Issue price of Tranche 2 Shares |
$0.12 per Share |
| Terms of the Tranche 2 Shares |
The Tranche 2 Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and are on the same terms as existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. |
| Allottees | Professional Investors who have subscribed for Tranche 2 Shares pursuant to the Share Placement. These Professional Investors are domestic and international institutional investors and other professional or sophisticated clients of the Company's appointed capital raising managers, Southern Cross Equities Limited (Southern Cross) and Patersons Securities Limited (Patersons). None of the allottees are related parties of the Company. |
| Use or intended use of the funds raised |
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares for the purposes described in section 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum. |
3.4 Board recommendation
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
As with Resolution 1 and for the same reasons, the Directors urge you to support the capital raising as they intend to do so.
4 Resolutions 3 to 6 – Director participation in the Share Placement
4.1 Background
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of up to 730,000 Shares under tranche 2 of the Share Placement to Messrs Antonino “Tony” Iannello, Max Cozijn, Leigh Bettenay and Ian Walker (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ).
Section 208 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 prevents a public company from issuing equity securities to a related party unless the public company:
-
(a) obtains the approval of its members in the manner set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) gives 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.
In addition, Listing Rule 10.11 also requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The issue of Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because the issue of the Shares may constitute the giving of a financial benefit and the Related Parties are directors of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of up to 730,000 Shares to the Related Parties.
Page 7
4.2 Specific information requirement by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act require the following information to be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares under tranche 2 of the Share Placement to the Related Parties.
(a) The names and maximum numbers of Shares to be issued to each of the Related Parties (or their nominees) are set out in the following table:
| Director | Maximum number of Shares |
|---|---|
| Mr Antonino “Tony” Iannello | 250,000 |
| Mr Max Cozijn | 250,000 |
| Dr Leigh Bettenay | 150,000 |
| Mr Ian Walker | 80,000 |
(b) The nature of the financial benefit to be given to the Related Parties is their participation in and subscription for Shares pursuant to the Share Placement (which for the avoidance of doubt is on the same commercial terms as every other participant in the Share Placement). As the Tranche 2 Shares to be issued to all participants in the Share Placement (including the Related Parties) will not be issued until after the Meeting, the issue price may at that time be either at a premium or discount to the market price at the time.
(c) The Shares will be issued at $0.12 per Share and will rank equally in all respects with and will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the existing fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company quoted on the ASX. The value of the Shares to be issued to the Related Parties is $87,600 (being 730,000 Shares issued at 12 cents each).
(d) The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue of the Shares to the Related Parties for the purposes described in section 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
(e) The Company's historical Share price information for the last 12 months is as follows:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.395 | 30 December 2010 |
| Lowest | $0.09 | 12 July 2010 |
| Last | $0.10 | 3 May 2011 |
(f) The remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year to 30 April 2011 are set out below:
| FY2010 | FY2010 | 1 July 2010 to 30 April 2011 | 1 July 2010 to 30 April 2011 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Director | Salaries / Fees | Other remuneration (Superannuation, non- monetary benefits and incentive based remuneration) |
Salaries / Fee | Other remuneration (Superannuation, non- monetary benefits and incentive based remuneration) |
| Mr TonyIannello | $24,808 | $9,689 | $62,500 | $10,402 |
| Mr Max Cozijn | $10,000 | $37,667 | $37,500 | $14,838 |
| Dr Leigh Bettenay | $80,000 | $55,875 | $109,867 | $58,157 |
| Mr Ian Walker | - | $47,667 | $18,750 | $33,588 |
Page 8
(g) If Shareholders approve the issue of the Shares to the Related Parties, the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. Subject to any adjustments arising from any issues of securities by the Company, and assuming that all of the Shares are issued in respect of Resolution 2, the following summary sets out the current securities on issue plus the Shares to be issued under Resolutions 1 and 2:
| Shares | Unlisted Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Securities on issue prior to the Share Placement |
69,500,0051 | 21,400,000 |
| Securities pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2 | 40,000,000 | - |
| Securities on issue post-Meeting | 109,500,005 | 21,400,000 |
- 1 27,000,000 shares are restricted until 24/12/11
Therefore the shareholding of the existing Shareholders will be diluted by the issue of Shares to the Related Parties by approximately 1.05%.
(h) The Related Parties have the following interests in the Company as at the date of the Notice of meeting, which would be altered if they were issued the Shares under tranche 2 of the Share Placement:
| Before Share Placement | Before Share Placement | After Share Placement | After Share Placement | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Director | Existing relevant interest1 |
% of issued capital (including conversion of unlisted options) |
Post-placement relevant interest |
% of issued capital (including conversion of unlisted options) |
| Mr Antonino “Tony” Iannello |
200,000 | 0.29% | 450,000 | 0.41% |
| Mr Max Cozijn2 | 50,000 | 0.07% | 300,000 | 0.27% |
| Dr Leigh Bettenay | 110,000 | 0.16% | 260,000 | 0.24% |

CNX has a relevant interest in 29,000,005 Shares of the Company representing 41.73% of the voting power in the Company prior to the Share Placement. The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares and Tranche 2 Shares will reduce the voting power of CNX in the Company to 36.58% then 26.48% respectively.
Page 9
-
(i) The Shares are expected to be issued immediately after the Meeting and in any event on a date not later than 1 month from the date of the Meeting (or such longer date permitted by ASX).
-
(j) The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed. Other than the information above and otherwise in the Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 3 to 6.
-
(k) Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required to issue the Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
