==> picture [100 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors wish to implement an employee incentive scheme in the form of a Director’s Fee Plan which will allow for the issue of Shares to all Directors in lieu of fees. All Directors have previously expressed their willingness to have approximately 50% of their remuneration paid in cash and approximately 50% payable in Shares (pending this approval) should that become necessary for the preservation of the Company’s working capital.

Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to certain exemptions (none of which are relevant here) Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (including shares or options) in any 12 month period which amounts to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without shareholder approval.

As a result, any issue of securities by the Company under the Directors’ Share Plan would reduce the Company’s 15% capacity to issue Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 however, allows a company to issue securities without specific shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 where shareholders of a company have approved the issue of securities as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 within three (3) years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution 5 is being put to the Shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 12 months from the date of the Resolution being passed.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 and for the benefit of Shareholders in considering this Resolution, the Company advises as follows:

  • a summary of the terms of the Plan are set out in Schedule 1;

  • 8,709,571 ordinary shares have been issued under the Director Fee Plan approved by Shareholders since the 2013 AGM, as individually outlined in Schedule 2.

  • a voting exclusion statement is included for Resolution 5 in the Notice of Meeting accompanying the Explanatory Memorandum.

Under the Director’s Fee Plan all Shares which may be issued to a Director shall be issued at the Market Price for Shares as at the business day prior to the issue of Directors Shares.

Because the trading price for the Shares of the Company on ASX may fluctuate over the 12 month period, approval is sought for the issue of a maximum of 60,000,000 shares ( Maximum Shares ). If the Maximum Shares are issued then this would represent approximately 6.9% of the issued Share capital of the Company, assuming no other Shares were issued.

Resolution 6 – Approval of Issue of Director Shares in Lieu of Director Fees

Subject to Resolution 5 receiving Shareholder approval, the Directors have resolved to refer to Shareholders for approval for the future allotment of up to a maximum of 60,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Mr Nicholas Mather, Mr Brian Moller, Mr John Bovard and Mr Richard Willson, Directors of the Company, or their nominee ( Participating Directors ) under the Directors’ Fee Plan. The terms of the Shares to be issued to the Participating Director ( Director Shares ) are set out in more detail below.

Because each of the Participating Directors is a related party of the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, the proposed issue of Directors Shares to Participating Directors under the Plan must be approved under Listing Rule 10.14.

In the event that Resolution 5 obtains Shareholder approval, the issue of the Directors Shares to the Participating Directors would be in lieu of their Director’s fees and salary sacrifice for the previous year and for potential issues to be made in the forthcoming year pursuant to the Plan. As such any Directors Shares issued in the forthcoming year will be granted for nil cash consideration and no funds will be raised from their issue.

If approved, the issue of any Directors Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 (and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9) will not be counted towards the Company’s 15% for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1. As a result, the Directors of the Company will be able to consider additional funding initiatives consistent with the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without diminishing its issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Each of Mr Nicholas Mather, Mr Brian Moller, Mr John Bovard and Mr Richard Willson, having a material personal interest in the Resolution, abstain and do not make any recommendations in respect of this Resolution.

At the time of writing this Notice, there is approximately $80,875 unpaid fees owing to the Directors. If each of the Directors participated in an allotment of shares via the conversion of 50% their Director Fees under the Director Fee Plan, proportional to their total remuneration over a 12 month period, and taking into account the balance above, then the following will be the effect on the holding of each of the Directors in the Company:

  2. This assumes that there are currently 807,056,584 Shares on issue.

  3. This assumes the Shares would be issued at an issue price of $0.004 per Share, and includes any amount owing at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15 and for the benefit of Shareholders in considering this Resolution, the Company advises as follows:

  • Each of the persons to whom Directors Shares are proposed to be issued under this Resolution is Directors of the Company.

  • Details of any Shares issued under the Directors’ Fee Plan will be published in the Annual Report in respect of the period in which shares under the plan are issued.

  • The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by all persons for whom approval is required is 60,000,000 Directors’ Shares.

  • No funds are being raised by the grant of the Director Shares.

  • Directors Shares will only be issued to the Participating Directors (that is, Nicholas Mather, Brian Moller, John Bovard and Richard Willson) under any approval obtained and will not be issued to any person not named in this Notice of Meeting without obtainment of further Shareholder approval to any such issue under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • A voting exclusion statement accompanies that Notice of Meeting in respect of Resolution 6.

  • There is no loan attaching to the issue of the Directors Shares.

  • The Director Shares are intended to be issued as and when elections are made by Participating Directors under the Directors’ Fee Plan, the intention being that Directors’ Shares would be issued to the Participating Directors in a maximum of 4 tranches on the ending of each quarter (December 2014, March, June and September 2015) and in any event no later than twelve (12) months of the date of the Meeting.

  • Under the Plan, all Shares which may be issued to a Director shall be issued at the Market Price for Shares as at the business day prior to the issue of Directors Shares.

Save as set out in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors are not aware of any other information that will be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to benefits contemplated by this Resolution.

Resolution 7 – Approval of Employee Share Option Plan

Background

Pursuant to Resolution 7 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the potential future issue of securities under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

The intention of the Board of the Company adopts the ESOP, as a means of rewarding its key employees. A summary of the terms of the ESOP are set out in Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to certain exemptions (none of which are relevant here) Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (including shares or options) in any 12 month period which amounts to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without shareholder approval.

As a result, any issue of securities by the Company to eligible employees under the ESOP would reduce the Company’s 15% capacity to issue Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 however, allows a company to issue securities without specific shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 where shareholders of a company have approved the issue of securities under an ESOP as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 within three (3) years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution 7 is being put to the Shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 for three (3) years from the date of the Resolution being passed.

Page 13 of 27

==> picture [100 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Information for Shareholders

In accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 the Company advises as follows:

  • A summary of the terms of the ESOP are set out in Schedule 3;

  • There are currently no options on issue pursuant to the ESOP.

As Directors are eligible to participate in the ESOP, a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting in relation to Directors and KMP and their associates.

Participation of Directors

Whilst under the provisions of the ESOP Directors are eligible to participate in the plan, no Options will be issued to Directors (or their nominees) unless further specific approval for the issue of those Options is obtained pursuant to the provisions of Listing Rule 10.11.

Due to a potential interest in the outcome of this Resolution 7, the Directors make no recommendation as to how you should vote on this Ordinary Resolution.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Resolution 8 - Approval to Issue an Additional 10% of the Issued Capital of the Company over a 12 Month Period Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A

Introduction

Pursuant to Resolution 8, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of its issued capital over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. If passed, this Resolution will allow the Company to allot and issue up to the number of new Equity Securities calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( Placement Securities ) each at an issue price of at least 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class (calculated over the last 15 days on which trades in the Equity Securities are recorded immediately before the date on which he price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed, or if the Placement Securities are not issued within five trading days of that date, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued) ( Issue Price ).

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary shareholders by special resolution at the annual general meeting, are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement ). The Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company may issue the Placement Securities to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below).

Funds raised from the issue of Placement Securities, if undertaken, would be applied towards the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

Listing Rule 7.1A

Eligibility

An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Placement if at the time of its annual general meeting it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.

For illustrative purposes only, on 13 October 2014, the Company’s market capitalisation was approximately $3.2million based on the last trading price on that date. The calculation of market capitalisation will be based on the last trading price of the shares, on the last trading day on which trades in the shares were recorded before the date of the Annual General Meeting, multiplied by the number of Shares on issue (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).

Page 14 of 27

==> picture [100 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is also not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index as at the time of this Annual General Meeting, however, it should be noted that the S&P/ASX300 Index is rebalanced twice a year in March and September.

The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity and able to undertake an Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A.

In the event that the Company for any reason ceases to be an Eligible Entity after the Company has already obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to this Resolution, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue the Placement Securities during the 12 month period following this Annual General Meeting.

Special Resolution

Listing Rule 7.1A requires this Resolution to be passed as a Special Resolution, which means that it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the Resolution. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.

Shareholder Approval

The ability to issue the Placement Securities is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Meeting.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 807,056,584 Shares. The Company will have the capacity to issue the below Equity Securities immediately following the Meeting:

  • 121,058,488 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under this Resolution, a further 80,705,658 Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A

The actual number of Placement Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Placement Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as described above).

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

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

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

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

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

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

==> picture [100 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3A

- Minimum price of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A Listing Rule 7.3A.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.3, the Placement Securities issued pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must have an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Equity Securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (1) the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (2) if the Placement Securities are not issued within five trading days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued.

The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

- Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution Listing Rule 7.3A.2

As provided by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, if this Resolution is passed and the Company issues the Placement Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing Shareholders. The Company currently has on issue 807,056,584 Shares. The Company could issue 201,764,146 Shares immediately following the Meeting (however, it is important to note that the exact number of Placement Securities which may be issued will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, details of which are set out above). Any issue of Placement Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.

There is a specific risk that:

  • the Market Price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of any Placement Securities than it is on the date of the meeting; and

  • the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the Market Price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue or the value of the Placement Securities.

As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, Table 1 below shows the potential economic and voting dilution effect, in circumstances where the issued share capital has doubled and the Market Price of the shares has halved. Table 1 also shows additional scenarios in which the issued share capital has increased (by both 50% and 100%) and the Market Price of the shares has:

  • (1) decreased by 50%; and

  • (2) increased by 100%.

Assumptions and Explanations

  • The Market Price is $0.004, based on the last trading price of the Shares on ASX on 13 October 2014.

  • The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the issue of the Placement Securities (assuming only Shares are issued), and not any Shares issued under the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The above table assumes that the Shares previously issued and to be ratified under Resolution 3 & 4 have been issued, and that the Shares to be issued subject to receiving Shareholder approval under Resolutions 5 -6 have not yet been issued.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue.

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Placement Securities.

  • The issued Share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 13 October 2014.

  • The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same as the Market Price and does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).

Final Date for Issue - Listing Rule 7.3A.3

As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.3, the Company will only issue and allot the Placement Securities during the 12 months after the date of this Meeting which the Company anticipates will end on 20 November 2015. The approval under this Resolution for the issue of the Placement Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company) before the anniversary of the Annual General Meeting.

- Purpose Listing Rule 7.3A.4

As noted above, the purpose for which the Placement Securities may be issued include to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Funds raised from the issue of Placement Securities, if undertaken, would be applied towards the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital.

Shares Issued for Non-Cash Consideration - Listing Rule 7.3A.4

The Company may issue Placement Securities for non-cash consideration, such as the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Placement Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Placement Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

’ - Company s Allocation Policy Listing Rule 7.3A.5

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of the Placement Securities. The identity of the allottees of Placement Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a number of factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing shareholders can participate;

  • (2) the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees of the Placement Securities have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Furthermore, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments for which Placement Securities are issued as consideration, it is likely that the allottees of some of the Placement Securities will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

– Equity Issues over Last 12 Months Listing Rule 7.3A.6

As this is the Company’s third year seeking approval for the additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, and specifically pursuant to the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A.6 (b), all of the cash and non-cash equity issues made by the Company since the date of the last AGM are detailed in Schedule 2.

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(a), the Company advises as follows:

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(a), the Company advises as follows:
Number of equity securities on issue on at commencement of 12 month period 606,587,987
Equity securities issued in prior 12 month period* 200,468,597
Percentage share issues represent of total number of equity securities on issue at
commencement of 12 monthperiod
33%

*A portion of the equity securities issued in the past 12 months were issued pursuant to an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 (or 7.1A) and therefore were not issued under (and did not reduce) the Company’s 15% Capacity (or additional 10% Capacity). For full details of the issues of equity securities made by the Company since the date of the last AGM, see Schedule 2.

Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included for this Resolution in the Notice of Meeting accompanying the Explanatory Memorandum. At the date of the Notice of Meeting, the proposed allottees of any Placement Securities are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of the Placement Securities), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this Special Resolution.
