Resolution 1 – Re-election of Brenton Siggs as a Director
1.1 Introduction
Mr Brenton Siggs was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 6 April 2011.
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, no director of the Company may hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever period is longer.

Notice of Annual General Meeting 27 November 2012
1.3 Directors’ Recommendation
All the Directors except Mr Siggs recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
As required by the Corporations Act, the Board is presenting the Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by a non–binding vote.
The Remuneration Report, which is part of the 2012 Annual Report, has been sent to Shareholders who have made an election to receive the Annual Report. Copies of the 2012 Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s share register or visiting the Company’s web site www.goldphyreresources.com.au.
The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM, and then again at the 2013 AGM, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2013 AGM, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting ( spill resolution ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( spill meeting ) within 90 days of the 2013 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2013 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for reelection at the spill meeting.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any share based compensation.
Voting on the Remuneration Report
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair will use any such proxies to vote in favour of the Resolution.
Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
3.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes 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. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 3.2(c) below).
3.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quote class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, Shares and Unlisted Options.
-
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
-

GOLDPHYRE RESOURCES LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting 27 November 2012
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%;
-
E is the number of Equity Seurities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
-
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 26,732,010 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 4,009,801 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 2,673,201 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 3.2(c) above).
- (e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
3.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- 7 –
GOLDPHYRE RESOURCES LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting 27 November 2012
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Sharedholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
3.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issues is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
||||
| $0.045 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.09 Issue Price |
$0.18 100% increase in Issue Price |

GOLDPHYRE RESOURCES LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting 27 November 2012
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No Listed Options.
-
(iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on the Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The use of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.09, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 20 September 2012.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new projects. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(iii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iv) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(v) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors.
-
(e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

GOLDPHYRE RESOURCES LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting 27 November 2012
Resolution 4 – Share Placement Facility
Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders for a share placement facility of up to 10,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares, which the directors may utilise to raise additional working capital for the Company.
The Directors believe that it is prudent for the Company to have a share placement facility available so that additional equity funds can be raised if considered necessary. If not utilised, the facility would lapse 3 months after the date of the meeting.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company may not issue securities in any 12 month period where the total number of securities to be issued exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue, except with the prior approval of members of the company in general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue or where the issue is pro rata to all shareholders in accordance with their existing shareholdings.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:
-
(a) the maximum number of securities that may be issued under Resolution 4 is 10,000,000 Shares;
-
(b) any shares issued in accordance with Resolution 4 will be allotted and issued within 3 months from the date of the general meeting (or such later date as approved by the ASX);
-
(c) the shares will be issued at a price which is not less than 80% of the average market price of the Company’s shares, calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Company’s shares were recorded on the ASX before the day on which the issue is made;
-
(d) as at the date of this notice of meeting there has been no decision by the Directors to issue any shares. Accordingly, the names of any allottees or proposed allottees are not known, however any issue will be restricted to sophisticated and professional investors. No shares will be issued to Directors or other related parties;
-
(e) any shares issued pursuant to Resolution 4 will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary fully paid shares on issue in the Company;
-
(f) funds raised by the issue of any shares will be used as additional working capital for the Company to continue to advance the Company’s exploration projects; and
-
(g) it is not known whether any allotments will occur as a single allotment or will occur progressively. However, it would be likely that any issue of shares will be made as a single allotment.
The Directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as it will provide the Company with further flexibility should any share issue be considered desirable.
