CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

As announced on 25 August 2014, Energia Minerals Limited ( Company ) has entered into a mandate with Euroz Securities Ltd ( Euroz ) to undertake a funding package. The package, totalling approximately A$8.15 million, will comprise:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • a A$6 million share placement at A$0.025 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors of Euroz ( Proposed Placement ); and

conditional upon the Proposed Placement proceeding, a non-renounceable entitlement issue on the basis of 1 new share for every 6 shares held at A$0.025 per Share to raise approximately A$2.15 million ( Rights Issue ).

Placement commitments to raise the full A$6 million contemplated by the Proposed Placement have now been secured and this notice of general meeting seeks the necessary shareholder approval required to complete that aspect of the fundraising.

This funding package is, in our view, a strong endorsement of the Company and its strategy and the culmination of a lot of hard work in a market that continues to challenge smaller mining companies.

The funds raised will enable us to fast track the evaluation, financing and advancement of the Gorno Zinc Project thereby enhancing the value of this exciting project. It also sees the Company secure the support of a strong group of cornerstone investors including Mr Alexander Burns who was formerly the Managing Director of Sphere Minerals Ltd until its takeover by Xstrata PLC for $514 million in 2010, and Mr Marcello Cardaci, a partner with law firm Gilbert + Tobin, who will both join a restructured Board on completion of the Proposed Placement.

Further details regarding the Resolutions, the Proposed Placement and the Rights Issue are contained in the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum that follow. I encourage each of you to read these materials in detail before deciding how to vote.

Your Directors are unanimous in their support for this funding package and consider it in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of each Resolution contained in this Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.

Yours faithfully

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company to be held at the President’s Room, The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Tuesday, 7 October 2014 at 10.00am WST.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General 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 at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

1 Resolution 1 – Approval of capacity to issue Placement Shares pursuant to the Proposed Placement

1.1 Background to the proposed funding package

As announced on 25 August 2014, the Company has entered into a mandate with Euroz to undertake a funding package. The package, totalling approximately A$8.15 million, will comprise:

  • 1 a A$6 million share placement at A$0.025 per Share (each a Placement Share ) to sophisticated and professional investors of Euroz ( Proposed Placement ); and

  • 2 conditional upon the Proposed Placement proceeding, a non-renounceable entitlement issue on the basis of 1 new Share for every 6 Shares held at A$0.025 per Share to raise approximately A$2.15 million ( Rights Issue ).

Placement commitments to raise the full A$6 million contemplated by the Proposed Placement have now been secured and the Notice of General Meeting seeks the necessary Shareholder approval required to complete that aspect of the fundraising.

Subject to the successful completion of the Proposed Placement, the Company also intends to proceed with the Rights Issue. The final terms of the Rights Issue will be settled closer to the date of its launch. However, it is expected that those terms will include the following:

Type of issue Non-renounceable entitlement issue
Pricing 1 for 6 at A$0.025 per Share, being the same price as the Proposed
Placement1
Amount to be raised Approximately $2.15 million (before costs)
Underwritten Subject to execution of a formal underwriting agreement, it is proposed that
Euroz will fully underwrite the Rights Issue.
It is also expected that Mr Kim Robinson (the current Managing Director) and
a trust associated with Mr Alexander Burns (who will at that time be Executive
Chairman of the Company) will sub-underwrite a portion of Euroz’s
commitment. Further details are set out in section 1.5 below.
Expected record date The record date will enable participants in the Proposed Placement to
participate in the Rights Issue. While it is not yet finalised, it is expected that
the record date will be on or after 21 October 2014 (Record Date)*
The Rights Issue will be open to all Shareholders

*This is an indicative date and may be subject to change. The final dates will be announced by the Company in due course.

A formal offer document containing further details regarding the Rights Issue and instructions for Shareholders on how to take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue will be sent to Shareholders in due course.

If Shareholders do not approve the resolution required for the Proposed Placement to proceed, the Rights Issue in the form envisaged by this document will not proceed. However, if approved by Shareholders, the Proposed Placement will proceed (irrespective of whether the Rights Issue proceeds or proceeds in the form described in this document).

1 The ratio is indicative only and therefore subject to change at the Company’s discretion.

Page 4

As announced on 25 August 2014, the Company has entered into a non-refundable loan arrangement with Mr Alexander Burns and Euroz pursuant to which they have each advanced to the Company A$125,000. This amount is repayable either through the issue of new Shares at A$0.025 per Share (subject to any required shareholder approval) or in the case of Mr Burns the application of that amount against subscription commitments under the Proposed Placement ( Interim Loan ). These funds are to be used for working capital purposes pending completion of the funding package described in this document.

1.2 Expected funding timetable

The current indicative timetable for the Proposed Placement and Rights Issue is as follows:

Date of this document 5 September 2014
Date of General Meeting to
approve
the
Proposed
Placement
7 October 2014
Issue of the Placement Shares 8 October 2014*
Formal announcement of Rights
Issue (including its final terms
and structure)
15 October 2014*
Record Date for Rights Issue 21 October 2014*
Dispatch of Rights Issue offer
documents
24 October 2014*
Rights Issue closes 6 November 2014*
Settlement of Rights Issue and
issue of Shares
10 November 2014*

*These dates are indicative dates and may be subject to change. The final dates will be announced by the Company in due course.

1.3 Use of funds raised from the funding package

It is intended that the A$8.15 million raised from the Proposed Placement and the Rights Issue will be used by the Company:

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • to open access to Panel 7 and undertake exploration drilling at the Gorno Zinc Project in northern Italy;

  • to undertake limited exploration at the Carley Bore Uranium Deposit in Western Australia; and

  • for general working capital purposes.

It is hoped that the expenditure on the Gorno Zinc Project will fast-track its evaluation and development.

In the event that the Rights Issue does not proceed, the Company will utilise the A$6 million raised from the Proposed Placement for these same purposes with resources allocated to areas that will produce the best available return for the Company.

1.4 Recap on the Company’s key development projects

The Company’s key development projects are primarily its Gorno Zinc Project near Bergamo in northern Italy with its Nyang Uranium Project (containing the Carley Bore uranium deposit) in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia being a secondary project.

About the Gorno Zinc Project

The Gorno Zinc Project is the Company’s 100% owned, high grade Mississippi Valley style zinc project near Bergamo in northern Italy.

The Gorno Zinc Project was mined by ENI subsidiary SAMIM until the late 1970s, when mining ceased due to a Government directive to ENI to focus on its oil and gas operations, not because of any financial or resource-related issues. The project, which produced 6 million tonnes historically at an average grade of 14.5% Zn + Pb has a largely-developed underground mine infrastructure.

This means that the cost and time involved in bringing the Gorno Zinc Project back into production will be relatively low, mainly comprising the cost of installing a new mill.

Page 5

It is anticipated that the re-establishment of the underground infrastructure in the Panel 7 area, accompanied by an underground diamond drilling program to establish a resource reported in accordance with the JORC (2012) code at the Gorno Zinc Project, will commence immediately after receipt of the Proposed Placement funds. These works are anticipated to be completed within a year.

About the Nyang Uranium Project

The Company also owns 100% of the advanced Carley Bore uranium deposit in Western Australia.

The Carley Bore uranium deposit is potentially a very robust low operating cost In Situ Recovery ( ISR ) uranium producer that a recent independent Scoping Study by Jorvik Resources ( Jorvik ) has recommended should now proceed to a Trial Field Leach.

The Carley Bore uranium deposit has significant advantages over the majority of other prospective uranium deposits in Western Australia in that both capital and operating costs will be low, both the timeline to production and payback of capital should be rapid and being an ISR project potentially has a very low environmental impact.

It is planned to continue to advance this high quality project by identifying a trial leach site and to carry out further regional assessment of the broader Nyang uranium project during 2014.

1.5 Impact of the funding package on the Company

Key impact

The key impact of the funding package on the Company is as follows:

Amount to be raised Approximately A$8.15 million (before costs) comprising A$6 million through
the Proposed Placement and approximately A$2.15 million through the Rights
Issue
Current Shares on issue 276,741,878 Shares
Shares to be issued to Directors
in lieu of Remuneration (early
October)
1,230,890 Shares2
Shares to be issued under the
Proposed Placement
240,000,000 Shares
Total issued capital after the
Proposed Placement
517,972,768 Shares
Shares to be issued under the
Rights Issue
86,328,795 Shares
Total issued capital after both
the Proposed Placement and
Rights Issue
604,301,563 Shares
Shares to be issued to Euroz
under the Interim Loan (post
Record Date)
5,000,000 Shares
Total issued capital after the
Proposed
Placement,
Rights
Issue and Shares issued to Euroz
under the Interim Loan
609,301,563 Shares

*Assumes no exercise of existing options on issue and no other Share issues after the date of this Notice.

As a result of the new Shares issued under the Proposed Placement, the shareholdings of existing Shareholders will be diluted by 46.3%.

2 The Company obtained Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to Directors in lieu of cash payments for Director fees at its previous annual general meeting on 14 November 2013. The next installment of Directors fees of A$36,926.71 is due to be settled in early October 2014. The actual number of Shares to be issued to Directors will be calculated with reference to the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s Shares on ASX for the five trading days preceding the end of the September 2014 quarter. Accordingly, the number of Shares to be issued is not know as at the date of this Notice and 1,230,890 Shares is an estimate of the number of Shares to be issued based on the VWAP for the Company’s Shares on ASX for the 5 trading days preceding the finalisation of this Notice (A$0.03).

Page 6

Board restructure

Following completion of the Proposed Placement, it is intended that the Board of the Company will be restructured through the appointment of Mr Alexander Burns as Executive Chairman and Mr Marcello Cardaci as a non-executive Director. The Company’s current non-executive Chairman, Mr Tony Iannello, and non-executive Director Mr Ian Walker will both step down at that time. Mr Kim Robinson will remain as Managing Director and Mr Max Cozijn will remain as a Director and Company Secretary.

Mr Burns was Managing Director of Sphere Minerals Ltd ( Sphere ) from 1998 – 2010. During this period, the company acquired and evaluated iron ore properties in Mauritania, West Africa. Sphere was subsequently taken over by Xstrata PLC in November 2010 for A$514 million. Mr Burns was also nonexecutive Chairman of Shield Mining Ltd ( Shield ), which was spun out of Sphere in 2006. Shield was a gold and base metals exploration company active in Mauritania and was taken over by Gryphon Minerals Ltd in mid 2010. The Executive Chairman role at Energia is the first board role that Mr Burns has accepted since the friendly takeovers of both Sphere and Shield in the latter half of 2010.

Mr Cardaci is a partner at law firm Gilbert + Tobin and has extensive experience advising on significant cross-border transactions including capital raisings, takeovers, schemes of arrangements and the structuring of acquisitions and joint ventures in numerous countries.

The Board believes these changes will position the Company well for its next stage of growth.

Both Mr Burns and Mr Cardaci have committed to participate in the Proposed Placement with funds and trusts in which Mr Burns has a direct or indirect interest or is associated with the trustee ( Burns ) subscribing for a total of 100,000,000 Shares (resulting in a post Proposed Placement interest in the Company of 19.31%[3] of the then issued Shares) and funds and trusts in which Mr Cardaci either has an indirect interest or is associated with the trustee ( Cardaci ) subscribing for a total of 20,000,000 Shares (resulting in a post Proposed Placement interest in the Company of 3.86%[4] of the then issued Shares). Mr Burns and Mr Cardaci have confirmed to the Company that they are not associates for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

Sub-underwriting and impact of the Rights Issue on voting power

As participants in the Proposed Placement, each of Burns and Cardaci will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue on the same terms as all other Shareholders.

Euroz will fully underwrite the Rights Issue. It is expected that a trust associated with Mr Burns will be invited to sub-underwrite the Rights Issue for up to 60,000,000 Shares of any shortfall of the Rights Issue. Further, Mr Kim Robinson, Managing Director of the Company, has agreed to sub-underwrite the Rights Issue for up to 20,000,000 Shares of any shortfall of the Rights Issue. As the Rights Issue is conditional upon Shareholders approving the Proposed Placement, these sub-underwriting arrangements will only proceed if Shareholders approve the Proposed Placement.

The potential effect of the Rights Issue on the control of the Company is as follows:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

if some Shareholders do not take up all their rights, then their proportional interest in the Company will be diluted; and

to illustrate the effect in a numerical sense, the Rights Issue may have the following effect in the Company:

3 Assumes no exercise of existing options on issue and no other Share issues after the date of this Notice.

4 Assumes no exercise of existing options on issue and no other Share issues after the date of this Notice.

Page 7

Scenario Control Impact
If all Shareholders take up their full entitlement under
the Rights Issue
No effect on control.
Burns’ voting power would remain at 19.15%
Mr Robinson’s voting power would remain at
2.33%5
If:
Shareholders other than Burns and Mr
Robinson take up 75% of their entitlement
under the Rights Issue; and
Burns and Mr Robinson take up their full
entitlement under Rights Issue and they are
sub-underwriting.
Burns’ voting power would increase to 21.08%
Mr Robinson’s voting power would increase to
2.97%
If:
Shareholders other than Burns and Mr
Robinson take up 50% of their entitlement
under the Rights Issue; and
Burns and Mr Robinson take up their full
entitlement under Rights Issue and they are
sub-underwriting.
Burns’ voting power would increase to 23.00%
Mr Robinson’s voting power would increase to
3.62%
If:
Shareholders other than Burns and Mr
Robinson take up 25% of their entitlement
under the Rights Issue; and
Burns and Mr Robinson take up their full
entitlement under Rights Issue and they are
sub-underwriting.
Burns’ voting power would increase to 24.93%
Mr Robinson’s voting power would increase to
4.26%

Mr Burns has confirmed to the Company that, should his voting power in the Company exceed 20%, he has no intention to make any change to the business of the Company, make changes to the Company’s existing employees (other than in the ordinary course), change the Company’s financial or dividend distribution policies, or inject any further capital into the Company, however reserves the right to inject further capital into the Company should it be required.

Further details on such impact will be set out in the Rights Issue offer document when it is released.

1.6 Alternatives to the Proposed Placement and Rights Issue

The Board considered a range of alternative funding options for the development of the Gorno Zinc Project and concluded that the Proposed Placement and the Rights Issue was the most achievable and advantageous to all Shareholders, given the difficult current market conditions and the benefits that come with the support of new strategic investors.

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the Company will be required to seek alterative financing for the proposed development of its projects. This may be difficult to obtain in current market conditions. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing, the Company’s future is uncertain.

1.7 Requirement for Shareholder approval for the Proposed Placement

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under the Proposed Placement.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue, or agree to issue, equity securities during any 12 month period which, when aggregated, exceeds 15% of the number of that company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.1 applies or Shareholders approve the issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. None of

5 Burns and Mr Robinson’s voting power will decrease between completion of the Proposed Placement and the allotment of Shares under the Rights Issue due to the Shares that are to be issued to Euroz in repayment of the Interim Loan. However, if all Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue there will be no effect on control.

Page 8

the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 apply to the Company’s proposed issue of the Placement Shares contemplated in the Proposed Placement.

If approved by Shareholders, the effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Directors to issue up to 240,000,000 Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors under the Proposed Placement without using up the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

1.8 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

Maximum number of
Shares to be issued
240,000,000 Placement Shares.
Date by which Placement
Shares will be issued
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be issued on or
around 8 October 2014, or such other date as agreed between the
Company and Euroz, which, in any event, will be no later than three
months after the date of the Meeting.
Issueprice A$0.025per Placement Share.
Allottees Sophisticated and professional investors under sections 708(8) - (11)
of the Corporations Act, being clients of Euroz. These include Burns
and Cardaci.
Terms of the Placement
Shares
The Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms and
conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue and will rank
equallyin all respects with all other Shares on issue.
Intended use of the funds
raised
As outlined above.

1.9 Board recommendation

The Directors have carefully considered the benefits and detriments to Shareholder of the proposed funding package. The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 and have each notified the Company that they intend to vote all the Shares controlled by them in favour of Resolution 1.

2 Resolution 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares pursuant to the July 2014 Placement

2.1

Background

On 8 July 2014, the Company issued 35,000,000 Shares to existing and new sophisticated investors at A$0.02 per Share through a share placement, raising A$700,000 ( July 2014 Placement ). Further details of the July 2014 Placement are contained in the Company’s announcement dated 7 July 2014.

Funds raised under the July 2014 Placement are being used by the Company:

  • to progress desktop studies and evaluation of the Company’s Gorno Zinc Project in Italy;

  • to undertake a program of Mud Rotary drilling at the Carley Bore Uranium Project in Western Australia, scheduled to commence in September, to identify an appropriate location for a field leaching trial; and

  • for general working capital purposes.

2.2 Approvals required

As outlined above, subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of shareholders of a company is required for an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. 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 the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue and shareholders subsequently ratify it.

Page 9

The issue of shares under the July 2014 Placement was within the 15% limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1. However, without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the issue of Shares 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 under Resolution 2 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.

Shareholders should note that by approving this Resolution, the Directors of the Company will be authorised to issue further Shares in the Company within its 15% limit without the need for prior Shareholder approval. If the Proposed Placement and Rights Issue are successfully completed, the Board does not believe there will be a need to conduct a further fundraising in the short term (although it is intended that this capacity may be used by the Company for the issue of Shares to Euroz to repay the Interim Loan). However, if that raising does not proceed, then the Company may well need to raise capital from other sources using this capacity.

2.3 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 35,000,000 Shares.
Issueprice A$0.02per Share.
Terms of the Shares The Shares were issued on the same terms and conditions as the
Company’s existing Shares on issue and rank equally in all respects
with all other Shares on issue.
Allottees Various sophisticated and professional investors under sections
708(8)-(11)of the Corporations Act.
Use or intended use of the
funds raised
As outlined above.

2.4 Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 and have each notified the Company that they intend to vote all the Shares controlled by them in favour of the Resolution.
