EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 12 noon (WST) on Monday 28th November 2011 at RSM Bird Cameron, 8 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.buxtonresources.com.au

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

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 Directors or the Company. The Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.

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 the financial year ending 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Under the Corporations Act 2001, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “ Spill Resolution ”) that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election. The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report).

Any undirected proxies held by the Chairperson, other Directors or other Key Management Personnel or any of the Closely Related Party will not be voted on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report).

Key Management Personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling

5

the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The remuneration Report identifies the Company’s Key Management Personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2011. Their Closely Related Parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the Proxy Form for Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – SEAMUS CORNELIUS

3.1 General

Clause 6.3 of the Constitution requires that the following Directors must retire at each annual general meeting:

(a) if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors; and

  • (b) any Director (except a Managing Director) that has held office for three years since election or last re-election.

Further, clause 6.3 (e) of the Constitution states that the Directors to retire by rotation are to be the longest serving Directors, or if two Directors are appointed on the same day, those Directors determined by lot or as agreed between them.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 6.3 (j) of the Constitution is eligible for re-election under clause 6.3 (j) of the Constitution.

Mr Seamus Cornelius retires in accordance with these provision, and being eligible, offer himself for re-election as a Director.

3.2 Directors Recommendation

The Directors (other than Seamus Cornelius, who makes no recommendation) recommend the re-election of Mr Cornelius as a Director.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JULIAN STEPHENS

4.1 General

Clause 6.2(b) 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.

Any Director so appointed under clause 6.2(b) of the Constitution holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and is then eligible for re-election under clause 6.3 (j) of the Constitution.

Dr Julian Stephens retires in accordance with these provision, and being eligible, offer himself for re-election as a Director.

4.2 Directors Recommendation

The Directors (other than Julian Stephens, who makes no recommendation) recommend the re-election of Dr Stephens as Director.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DR JULIAN STEPHENS

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights to a Director pursuant to ASX Listing Rule10.14.

Dr Julian Stephens is to receive a total of 200,000 Performance Rights as follows:

  • (a) 50,000 Tranche 1 Performance Rights;

  • (b) 100,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights; and

  • (c) 50,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights.

All of the Company’s full or part time employees or Directors of the Company (in the case of Directors, subject to Shareholder approval) are entitled to participate in the Company’s Employee Share Ownership Plan (“ Plan ”). The Performance Rights are being issued (subject to Shareholder approval) pursuant to the Plan.

Key terms attaching to the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure 1 of this Notice of Meeting.

1. The Nature of the Financial Benefit

The Company proposes to issue Performance Rights to Dr Julian Stephens or his nominee(s). The grant of the Performance Rights will result in the issue of Shares in certain circumstances.

The recipient will not be required to pay anything for the issue of the Performance Rights. The maximum number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Dr Julian Stephens is 200,000 Performance Rights.

The Performance Rights have been valued on behalf of the Company using the binomial option pricing model, where each Performance Right is a "barrier up and in share option" which vests once the "barrier price" under each tranche is met. For the purposes of the valuation the following assumptions were used:

  • (d) Underlying Share price of ($0.20) cents (being the Share price at (10[th] October 2011);

  • (e) A nil conversion or exercise price;

  • (f) Total period of 3 years after the meeting for the vesting performance hurdles to be met;

  • (g) An estimated volatility factor of 100% reflective of future volatility of the Shares of the Company over the 3 year life of the rights;

  • (h) A risk free rate of (3.64)% being the Commonwealth Government 3 year bond rate at 7[th] October 2011;

  • (i) A nil dividend yield; and

  • (j) A barrier price of 40 cents for the Tranche 1 Performance Rights, 50 cents for the Tranche 2 Performance Rights and 60 cents for Tranche 3 Performance Rights.

Based on the above assumptions, independent accountants RSM Bird Cameron Corporate Pty Ltd have determined that the value of each tranche of the Performance Right is as follows:

7

Tranche 1 Tranche 2 Tranche 3 Total
Number of
Performance Rights to
be issued
50,000 100,000 50,000 200,000
Value per Right $0.1731 $0.1616 $0.1514 -
Total Value of each
Tranche
$8,655 $16,160 $7,570 $32,385

2.

Dilution

The passing of Resolution 4 would have the effect of issuing up to 200,000 Performance Rights.

If Performance Rights vest, Shares will issue which will have the effect of diluting the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all the 200,000 Performance Rights vest so that 200,000 Shares are issued, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 0.496% based on the current number of Shares of 40,118,194.

3. Historical share price information

Shares will be issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights. The trading price of Shares for the 12 months prior to the date this document was lodged with ASX is as follows:

Share Price Date
Highest 37 cents 12/1/11
Lowest 8 cents 13/10/10
Last 20 cents 11/10/11

4. Remuneration

Dr Julian Stephens is paid an annual fee of $30,000.

The Board considers that approval of shareholders is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as a result of the application of section 211. The Board believes that granting the Performance Rights is part of his normal remuneration as a director of the Company. Providing a remuneration benefit that is in non-cash form is reasonable given the Company’s current strategy of increasing funds available for exploration. The Performance Rights provide an incentive for Dr Stephens to perform his duties for the maximum benefit of the Company.

In determining the number and exercise price of the Performance Rights, the Board took independent advice and also took into consideration the views of major shareholders and brokers. Although no formal written advice was sought or obtained, the Directors are of the overall view that the remuneration of Dr Julian Stephens, including the proposed grant of the Performance Rights, is reasonable having regard to the circumstances of the Company, the duties and responsibilities of a Technical Director and the market levels of remuneration for officers in similar positions in similar sized companies.

8

5. Information Required by ASX Listing Rules

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and 10.15A the following information is provided:

  • (a) Up to 200,000 Performance Rights (and hence the maximum number of Shares) may be issued by the Company to Dr Julian Stephens or his nominee. The terms of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure 1 to this Explanatory Statement.

  • (b) No consideration is payable by Dr Stephens at the time of issue of the Performance Rights or upon their exercise.

  • (c) The Board may, from time to time, at its absolute discretion declare that any full or part time employee or Director of the Company (in the case of Directors, subject to Shareholder approval) is eligible to receive Performance Rights under the Plan. The names of all persons referred to in rule 10.14 who are entitled to participate in the scheme are; Anthony Maslin, Seamus Cornelius and Julian Stephens.

  • (d) No loans will be made by the Company in connection with the issue of the Performance Rights to Dr Stephens.

  • (e) Details of any Performance Rights or Shares issued under the Plan will be published each year in the Annual Report of the Company relating to the period in which the Performance Rights or Shares have been issued and the Annual Report will disclose that approval for the issue of Shares under the Plan was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. No securities have been issued under the scheme since the last approval.

  • (f) Any additional Director who becomes entitled to participate in the Plan who is not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is granted under Listing Rule 10.14 (if approval is required under that Listing Rule).

  • (g) The Performance Rights will be granted immediately upon Shareholder approval and in any event no later than 3 years after the date of this Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 4 is included in the Notice of Meeting.

6. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice, Explanatory Statement and this Supplementary Explanatory Statement carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions. A proxy form is attached to the Notice.

1.

A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

Where a member’s holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.

  1. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.

  2. Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  3. 2 directors of the company;

  4. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2).

In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairperson, please write the name of that person.
