RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF DISPOSAL OF MAJOR ASSET
Background
On 5 January 2007, Mamba Minerals Limited (“Mamba”) entered into an “Acquisition Agreement” with Ausmoz and Mosmin to acquire the Chua Mining Concession (755C) and Nhamucuarara Mining Concession (201C) conditional upon the Company being admitted to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company agreed to purchase the Chua Mining Concession (755C) and Nhamucuarara Mining Concession (201C) for 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
On 6 June 2007, Mamba Minerals Limited was admitted to the Australian Securities Exchange, raising $2,250,000 with the issue of 11,250,000 at an issue price of $0.20 through the Initial Public Offering.
Mamba issued 10,000,000 fully paid shares to Ausmoz and Mosmin to acquire the Chua Mining Concession (755C) and Nhamucuarara Mining Concession (201C) on the 6 June 2007. The Mining Concessions were transferred to a fully owned subsidiary, Mambas Minerais Limitada (“Mambas”, incorporated in Mozambique.
On 2 February 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Mambas has entered into an acquisition agreement with Ergoflex 165 cc (“Ergoflex”). The agreement is conditional upon Ergoflex accessing Mambas tenements and completing a site assessment (to its satisfaction) of Mambas’ Mining Concession 755 C (Chua) and Concession 201C (Nhamacurara), which will be undertaken within 14 days of the date of the agreement. The agreement is also expressly conditional upon the transaction receiving the approval of the Company’s shareholders pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules.
The principal terms of the agreement are as follows:
-
Ergoflex will source and provide suitable plant and equipment to commence mining operations at the earliest opportunity;
-
Mambas shall retain title to its respective mineral tenements until payment of the purchase price in full, and will maintain tenements in good standing until then;
-
Ergoflex will acquire all of the Company’s Mining Concessions, referred to above, for a total consideration of US$2,000,000 to be paid over a period of 24 months in accordance with the timetable below;
Installment Amount Date
First USD $ 75,000.00, the 6th month after signing of the agreement Second USD $ 500,000.00, the 12th month after signing of the agreement Final USD $ 1,425,000.00, the 24th month after signing of the agreement
-
Until that final instalment is paid and title passes, Mamba retains 20% net profit interest in all mining operations and proceeds;
-
Ergoflex will develop a formal mining plan, including an environmental impact report and land-use licence, and proceed to obtain a licence to mine;
-
Ergoflex will take over all Mamba’s responsibilities and liabilities for environmental impact;
-

-
Ergoflex will be responsible for providing monthly reports in compliance with local regulations and authority requirements; and
-

Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 11.2. The Board believes that the approval of this issue is beneficial for the Company moving forward. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to enable the disposal of major asset to proceed.
RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR SHARE AND OPTION PLACEMENT
The Board seeks shareholder approval to place 18,625,000 Shares at 3 cents each and with every two (2) placement shares applied for, one (1) Free Option to subscribe for a further share at an exercise price of 5 cents each with an expiry date of 30 June 2013 to institutional and sophisticated investors within the meaning of section 708 of the Corporations Act and other persons as provided in the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not, without prior approval of Shareholders, issue securities if the securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Given that the share placement under Resolution 2 will exceed this 15% threshold and that none of the exemptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required to issue the 18,625,000 Shares and 9.312,500 options in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.
Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3 for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1:

(b) the Shares and the Free Options will be issued and allotted within three months following the date of the General Meeting;
(c) the Shares will be issued at 3 cents each with every two (2) shares applied for, one (1) free option to subscribe for a further share on the terms and conditions as outline in “Appendix A” will be issued;
(d) the Shares and the free options will be issued to institutional, sophisticated investors and other persons as provided in the Corporations Act as determined by the managers of the placement;
(e) the Shares will rank pari passu with existing Shares on issue;
(f) the Free Options will rank pari passu with existing Shares on issue upon being exercised at 5 cents each on or before 30 June 2013; and
(g) the funds will be used for on-going project cost and evaluation, new project acquisition and to provide further working capital.

Given that the security placement under Resolution 3 will exceed this 15% threshold and that none of the exemptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required to issue the 18,625,000 Options in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.
Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3 for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxies must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights (by inserting the percentage in the appropriate box on the form). If the Shareholder 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 Shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion or resolution, except where the proxy is required by law or the appointing company’s constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the General Meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on an item of business, the Chairman will vote, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.
-
Corporate Shareholders 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:
-
(i) two directors of the company;
-
(ii) a director and the company secretary of the company; or
-
(iii) for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
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). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. 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.
-
Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the General Meeting.
-
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.
-

-
(i) return the proxy form by personal delivery or courier to Security Transfer Registrars Pty Ltd, 770 Canning Highway, Applecross, WA, 6153;
-
