EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of members of Athena Resources Limited (“Athena”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Members to be held on Tuesday 28 November 2011 commencing at 12 noon at Perth Flying Squadron Yacht Club, Esplanade, Dalkeith, WA

This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

2. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the 2011 Annual Report will be tabled at the annual general meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the Report.

Representatives from the Company’s auditors, HLB Mann Judd, will be present to take shareholders’ questions and comments about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

3. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT – Resolution 1

The Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 contains a Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report and sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and its controlled entities, and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for executive directors, senior management and non-executive directors.

The Corporations Act 2001 requires listed companies to put an annual non-binding resolution to shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report. In line with the legislation, this vote will be advisory only, and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the Company’s remuneration policy.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2012 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company (Spill Resolution).

Page 1

Tà{xÇt RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 69 113 758 900

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the Company’s 2012 annual general meeting. All the Directors who were in office when the Company’s 2012 Director’s report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re- election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

  • (a) a spouse or child of the member;

  • (b) a child of the member’s spouse;

  • (c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;

  • (d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;

  • (e) a company the member controls; and

  • (f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth).

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s report section of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011.

4. ROTATION OF DIRECTOR

In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001, one-third of the directors of the Company retire from office at this annual general meeting of the Company and, being eligible, may offer themselves for re-election.

Mr C Wang retires by rotation and does not offer himself for re-election.
