4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1 General

In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted to the vote of Shareholders at the Meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.

The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2

Voting consequences

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except a managing Director.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than a managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for reelection ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of votes are cast in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

6

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' Report (as included in the Company's financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing Director, 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.

4.3 Previous voting results

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2015 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2017 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

4.4

Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 - Re-election of Director – Mr Peter Williams

Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one-third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number), and Article 6.3(f) provides that a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 5 Directors, and accordingly, one must retire.

Under Article 6.3(e), the Directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have served the longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must be determined by lot (unless otherwise agreed upon between those Directors).

7

Pursuant to the above Articles of the Constitution, Mr Williams retires by rotation, and being eligible, seeks re-election.

Mr Williams was formerly Chief Geophysicist and Manager of Geoscience Technology for WMC Resources. He was one of the founding members of Independence Group Limited and developed high powered 3 component 3D TEM applications that lead to the discovery of over 75,000t of nickel at the Victor Long Nickel Mine in Kambalda. Mr Williams also has extensive experience in West Africa where he was the vendor of Gryphon Minerals’ Banfora Gold Project, was involved in the project generation of Papillion’s Mali projects and was a founding director of Ampella Mining Ltd. He was a co-founder of the International Resource Sector Intelligence company, Intierra and was a co-founder of the first dedicated hard rock mineral seismic company in the world, HiSeis.

The Board (excluding Mr Williams) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 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 annual general meeting ( 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. Based on the ASX closing price on 27 October 2016, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $49.6 million. The Company is therefore 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 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 6.2(c) below).

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% 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).

6.2 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 annual general meeting.

  • (b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

8

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, Shares.

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

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 annual general meeting, 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:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval 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;

  • (D) 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 Securities 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 Shareholder approval 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 the Notice, the Company has on issue 902,675,636 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 135,401,345 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 90,267,564 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 6.2(c)).

9

  • (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 on which trades in that class were recorded 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 Shareholder approval 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),

( 10% Placement Period ).

6.3 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.

6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided 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 on which trades in that class were recorded 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.

  • (b) If this Resolution 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 (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). 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

10

  • (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.

  • (c) The below table 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 the Notice.

  • (d) The table also 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 100% as against the current market price.

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 Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) No performance rights as approved at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 November 2014 and the general meeting of the Company held on 16 August 2016 are issued.

11

  • (iv) 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%.

  • (v) 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 that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (vi) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (viii) The issue price is $0.055, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 October 2016.

  • (e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments. 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 exploration activities at its existing projects in Burkina Faso, Sweden and for the Honeymoon Uranium Project in South Australia or further new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (h) 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:

  • (i) 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;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (i) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders

12

and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

(j) The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2015. In the 12 months preceding the date of the 2016 Annual General Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 67,916,667 Equity Securities and this represents 8.14% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the 2016 Annual General Meeting are set out in the table below:

7. Resolution 4 - Renewal of Proportional Takeovers Provisions

The proposed Schedule 5 of the Constitution of the Company is attached in Schedule 2. It is in identical form to the provisions of similar coverage which were previously contained in the Constitution. The provisions have a duration period of three years which will expire on 29 November 2016. Thereafter, the provisions contained in Schedule 5 of the Constitution will cease to apply, unless renewed. If renewed under Resolution 4, they will apply for a further three years.

The proposed proportional takeover approval provisions enable the Company to refuse to register securities acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by Shareholders in general meeting approving the offer. Under the Corporations Act, proportional takeover provisions expire after three years from adoption or renewal and may then be renewed.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to renew these provisions under the Corporations Act. The proposed proportional takeover provisions are identical to those previously contained in the Constitution. The Corporations Act requires the Company to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the proportional takeover approval provisions as set out below.

7.1

What is a proportional takeover bid

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only for a specified portion of each Shareholder’s securities. Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, it will dispose of the specified portion of its securities in the Company and retain the balance of the securities.

7.2 Effect of renewal

If renewed, under Schedule 5 of the Constitution if a proportional takeover offer is made to Shareholders of the Company, the board of the Company is required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover. That meeting must be held at least 15 days before the offer under the proportional takeover bid closes.

The resolution is taken to have been passed if a majority of securities voted at the meeting, excluding the securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. If no resolution is voted on at least 15 days before the close of the offer, the resolution is deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the offer is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of securities resulting from accepting the offer are registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASIC Operating Rules and the Company’s Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then under the Corporations Act the offer is deemed to be withdrawn.

The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to renew Schedule 5 of the Constitution. Without Schedule 5 of the Constitution applying, a proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities to the bidder. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their securities whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.

15

Without Schedule 5, if there was a proportional takeover bid and shareholders considered that control of the Company was likely to pass, Shareholders would be placed under pressure to accept the offer even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to the bidder. Renewing Schedule 5 of the Constitution will make this situation less likely by permitting Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.

7.3 No knowledge of present acquisition proposals

As at the date of this notice, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.

7.4 Potential advantages and disadvantages

The renewal of Schedule 5 of the Constitution will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders about a proportional takeover bid. Without these provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that renewal of Schedule 5 of the Constitution has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them, as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover offer should be accepted.

The Directors consider that renewing Schedule 5 of the Constitution benefits all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a proportional takeover bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders are able to prevent a proportional takeover bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the proportional takeover bid. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.

As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders renewing Schedule 5 of the Constitution, potentially, the proposal makes a proportional takeover bid more difficult and proportional takeover bids will therefore be discouraged. This may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their securities at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company’s share price. Schedule 5 of the Constitution may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely on their securities.

The Directors consider that there are no other advantages or disadvantages for Directors or Shareholders which arose during the period during which the proportional takeover approval provisions were in effect, other than those discussed in this section.

On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages so that the renewal of Schedule 5 of the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders.

7.5 Other information

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% 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).

The Board unanimously supports the renewal of Schedule 5 of the Constitution.
