$\ddagger$ . INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders of QUEENSLAND ORES LIMITED ABN 108 146 694 (Company) to explain the Resolutions to be put to shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at the offices of Hopgood Ganim Lawvers. Level 7, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane on 16 April 2007 at 11.00 a.m. (Brisbane time).

The Directors recommend shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFY THE ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER PREVIOUS PLACEMENT

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 generally prohibits a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue more securities than the number calculated in accordance with a formula set out in that ASX Listing Rule. The formula effectively prohibits issues of equity securities (including shares and options to subscribe for shares) exceeding 15% of the number of issued ordinary shares in the company in any twelve (12) month period (the 15% Limit) unless prior shareholder approval is obtained.

Where a company has issued securities without shareholder approval but within the 15% Limit, that company, under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, is able to seek the ratification of that issue to ensure that the 15% Limit is not reduced by that previous issue.

Accordingly, pursuant to Resolution 1, shareholder approval is sought to ratify the previous issue of a total of seven million, seven hundred thousand (7,700,000) ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company on 20 December 2006 to Talbot Group Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 010 949 630.

3. RESOLUTION 2 - AUTHORISE THE ISSUE OF SHARES

In order to fall within the 15% Limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (as detailed above in relation to Resolution 1). Resolution 2 seeks shareholder authorisation to issue up to 35,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company (Placement Shares) at an issue price per Placement Share of 35 cents, along with one (1) attaching option for every two (2) Placement Shares (Attaching Options), to applicants under a prospectus issued by the Company dated 15 March 2007.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Attaching Options:

  • The Attaching Options shall be issued for no consideration;
  • The exercise price of each Attaching Option is thirty five cents (\$.35) (Exercise Price):
  • The Attaching Options will expire on 30 November 2008 (Expiry Date) unless earlier exercised:
  • The Attaching Options will (subject to ASX guotation) be transferable in whole or in part:
  • The Attaching Options may be exercised at any time in whole or in part by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise together with a cheque for the Exercise

Price per Attaching Option to QOL at any time on or after the date of issue of the Attaching Options and on or before the Expiry Date:

  • The number of Attaching Options that may be exercised at one time must be not less than 500;
  • Upon the valid exercise of the Attaching Options and payment of the Exercise Price, QOL will issue fully paid ordinary shares ranking pari passu with the then issued ordinary shares:
  • While the Attaching Option holders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company to shareholders generally on prior exercise of the Attaching Options, the Attaching Option holders will be afforded the period of at least seven (7) business days' notice prior to and inclusive of the books record date (to determine entitlements to the issue) to exercise the Attaching Options:
  • Attaching Options do not participate in any dividends unless the Attaching Options are exercised and the resultant shares of QOL are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend:
  • In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of QOL:
  • the number of Attaching Options, the Exercise Price of the Attaching Options, or $(a)$ both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules as applicable at the time of reconstruction, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Attaching Options which are not conferred on shareholders: and
  • subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned $(b)$ by a meeting of shareholders approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the Attaching Options will remain unchanged;
  • If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of an Attaching Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

$$
O^{n} = O - \frac{E [P-(S+D)]}{N+1}
$$

Where:

O., the new exercise price of the Attaching Option;
О the old exercise price of the Attaching Option;
E $\equiv$ the number of underlying securities into which one Attaching
Option is exercisable;
P $\equiv$ the average market price per security (weighted by reference to
volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days
ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements
date;
S the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue;
D $\equiv$ dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities
(except those to be issued under the pro rata issue);
N the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be

held to receive a right to one new security.

  • If there is a bonus issue to the holders of shares in QOL, the number of shares over which the Attaching Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of shares which the Attaching Option holder would have received if the Attaching Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue:
  • The terms of the Attaching Options shall only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of ordinary shares in QOL approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Attaching Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Attaching Options or change any period for exercise of the Attaching Options; and
  • QOL intends to apply for listing of the Attaching Options on the ASX; and
  • QOL shall apply for listing of the resultant shares of QOL issued upon exercise of any Attaching Option.

Any inquiries in relation to the Resolutions or the Explanatory Memorandum should be directed to Peter Birch (Company Secretary):
