Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution at the company’s annual general meeting, to issue equity securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (Additional Placement Capacity).

The effect of such ratification is to restore a company's maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to the limits imposed by Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company confirms the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares and free attaching Options the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The Company wishes to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares and free attaching Options the subject of Resolution 1 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company, to have the right to place up to a further 25% of its issued capital under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

4. RESOLUTION 4 ‐ Approval to issue Shares in Lieu of Salary to Managing Director
4.1 Background
In order to conserve Company funds in the midst of a tough financial climate and given the current difficulties in raising further capital by junior exploration companies, Mr Darren Gordon, Managing Director of the Company, has agreed to reduce his cash salary for the 12 month period commencing 1 August 2015 and to receive an equivalent amount of Shares in lieu of that reduced cash remuneration. The Board considers this to be an appropriate and responsible measure to preserve the cash reserves of the Company.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the MD Shares to Mr Gordon (or his nominee) in lieu of receiving the equivalent in cash salary as Managing Director of the Company. The value of the MD Shares is equivalent to 16% of Mr Gordon’s reduced cash remuneration for the 12 month period. The requirements of Listing Rule 10.11 are set out below at section 4.4.
The Shares will be issued in 6 tranches over a 12 month period commencing 1 August 2015. Each tranche of Shares will cover 1 month in arrears and 1 month in advance of the cash salary foregone. The issue price for each tranche of the MD Shares will be determined as an amount equal to the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s Shares immediately before the issue date of the respective tranche of the MD Shares.
If approval is not received under Resolution 4, the Company, subject to future Board approval, will pay the full amount of the Managing Director’s remuneration (without reduction) in cash and reserves. The Board also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend the issue of Shares under any such approval granted in accordance with this Resolution 4 and revert back to paying the full value of Mr Gordon’s cash remuneration.
Page 6
4.2 ASX Waiver
The ASX has granted a waiver from Listing Rule 10.13.3 to extend the MD Share issue dates beyond 1 month after the date of the Meeting. The ASX has also granted a waiver to Listing Rule 10.13.5, as the share price is not defined, to allow the share issue price to be based on a formula including a future share price.
4.3 Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that a public company cannot give a “financial benefit” (including an issue of Securities) to a “related party” of the company unless one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act apply or the holders of ordinary securities have approved the giving of the financial benefit to the related party at a general meeting.
The issue of Shares to a Director or their nominee constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to the related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
The Board has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is relevant in the circumstances, as the proposed financial benefit is reasonable in these circumstances. Accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the MD Shares to Mr Darren Gordon pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act, in addition to the approval now being sought under the ASX Listing Rules.
4.4 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, to a related party of that company without first obtaining Shareholder approval. If Resolution 4 is approved for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, then approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders:
-
(a) the MD Shares are to be issued to Mr Darren Gordon (or his nominee). Mr Gordon is the Managing Director of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Gordon is $48,000 in value of fully paid ordinary shares but will not exceed a maximum of 12 million shares over the 12 month approval period. The Shares will be issued in 6 tranches over a 12 month period commencing 1 August 2015. The formula to calculate the number of MD Shares to be issued for any given tranche is as follows:
X = $8,000 / 5 Day VWAP
Where:
X = the number of Shares to be issued to Mr Gordon for each tranche; and
5 Day VWAP = volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Shares on ASX in the 5 trading days immediately preceding the issue date as set out in part (c) below.
In respect to each tranche of MD Shares to be issued, $8,000 in value of fully paid ordinary shares will be issued. The number of MD Shares to be issued in each tranche will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. For illustrative purposes, the table below sets out the the total aggregate number of MD Shares to be issued for all 6 tranches based on a range of issue prices.
| 5 day VWAP (examples) |
