In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised that:

  • the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS – AGENDA ITEM

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.a1minerals.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2

Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

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

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year 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.

9

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3

Previous voting results

As a poll was not called at the Company’s previous annual general meeting it was unclear whether the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Company has taken the conservative approach in relation to the approval of the Remuneration Report so that the Spill Resolution will be relevant for this Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Remuneration Report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 10 for further information.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

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

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.

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 must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise 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 .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR WILLIAM HOBBA

Clause 11.4.1 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to clause 11.4.2 of the Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for reelection but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Mr William Hobba will retire in accordance with clause 11.4.2 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

10

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR EDWARD TAI

Clause 11.1 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.1 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 4 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

Messrs Edward Tai, Yongji Duan and Kai Ye Shuai ( Retiring Directors ) were all elected as directors on the same day. The Retiring Directors have agreed that Mr Edward Tai will retire by rotation and seek re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – SHARES

5.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 5.2 below).

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

11

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $5,723,997.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: SHK).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

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

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

5.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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

12

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 5.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 672,859,025 Shares on issue comprising:

  2. (a) 635,997,520 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting; and

  3. (b) 36,681,505 Shares which will be issued if Resolutions 6 – 9 are passed at this Meeting.

  4. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 1 October 2012.

  5. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  6. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, apart from the Convertible Note.

  7. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  8. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

On 10 July 2012, the Company entered into a Converting Loan Agreement with Easy Prestige Limited ( Easy Prestige ) pursuant to which:

  • (a) Easy Prestige agreed to provide a loan to the Company ( Loan ) in the amount of $1,525,315.07 ( Principal ); and

  • (b) subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, Easy Prestige could require the Company to issue a convertible note to Easy Prestige with a face value equal to the outstanding Principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, in repayment of the Loan ( Note ).

On 6 September 2012, following a request by Easy Prestige, the Company issued the Note with a face value of $1,525,315.07.

A summary of the key terms of the Note is set out in Schedule 1.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Convertible Note ( Ratification ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) one convertible note was issued with a face value of $1,525,315.07, convertible into Shares at a price of $0.017 per Share, equating to a maximum of 89,724,416 Shares;

  • (b) the deemed issue price is $0.017 per Share;

16

  • (c) the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Note will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the terms of the Convertible Note are contained in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Convertible Note was issued to Easy Prestige, which is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (f) the funds raised from this issue were used to repay creditors, continue the Company’s first phase of exploration drilling programme and for working capital purposes.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTOR – MR WILLIAM HOBBA

7.1 General

On 11 July 2012, the Company announced to the ASX that it had received statutory demands from entities associated with Mr William Hobba, seeking payment of alleged outstanding wages and a redundancy payment for his previous role with the Company.

Subsequently, on 31 August 2012 the Company entered into a deed of settlement with the entities associated with Mr William Hobba, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 20,000,000 Shares ( Settlement Shares ) to Mr William Hobba on the terms and conditions set out below. In addition to the Settlement Shares, as part of the settlement, Mr Hobba will receive cash consideration of $100,000. The Company has valued the Settlement Shares at $220,000, based on a price of $0.011 being the market price of the Company’s Shares at the time the settlement was reached.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give 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.

The issue of the Settlement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr William Hobba is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In addition, ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba.

17

7.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Settlement Shares:

  • (a) the related party is Mr William Hobba and he is a related party by virtue of being a Director of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Settlement Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to Mr William Hobba is 20,000,000 Settlement Shares;

  • (c) the Settlement Shares will be issued to Will Hobba no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Settlement Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Settlement Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Settlement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the relevant interests of Mr William Hobba in securities of the Company are set out below:

Related Party Shares Options

  1. 12,147,775 Shares held by Mrs Sandra Wheeler, who is the wife of Mr William Hobba.

  2. (g) if the Settlement Shares are issued to Mr William Hobba, a total of 20,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 635,997,520 to 655,997,520 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 3.05%.

  • (i) the Board acknowledges the issue of Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the issue of Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (k);

  • (j) the primary purpose of the issue of the Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba is as part consideration for the full and final settlement of the statutory claims. In addition to the Settlement Shares, the settlement to Mr Hobba also includes cash consideration of $100,000;

  • (k) Mr William Hobba declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Settlement Shares in the Company should this Resolution be passed;

  • (l) with the exception of Mr William Hobba, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution;

  • (m) Mr Yongji Duan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution for the following reasons:

  • (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba;

  • (n) Mr Kai Ye Shuai recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

  • (o) Mr Edward Tai recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution for the reasons set out in paragraph (m); and

  • (p) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Settlement Shares to Mr William Hobba will not be included in

19

the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS

8.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 16,681,505 Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Messrs Yongji Duan, Kai Ye Shuai, and Edward Tai ( Related Parties ) pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Plan ( Plan ). It is noted that Resolution 9 is subject to the passing of Resolution 3.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give 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.

The issue of the Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Yongji Duan, Kai Ye Shuai, and Edward Tai are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties.

As such, the issue price of the Related Party Shares, and the number of Related Party Shares that will be issued, will not be known until the date the Related Party

20

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.

Attending the Meeting

Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the information tab, "Downloadable Forms".

Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
