In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution to Shareholders that the remuneration report be adopted at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2014 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2014 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2014 Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

3. Ordinary Resolutions 3 and 4 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Shares
3.1 Background
On 5 August 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a Deed of Variation and Exercise of Option (“Deed”) with Golden West Resources Limited to vary the terms of the Option Agreement and to acquire the Doherty’s Project (M57/619) (“Project’) and exercise the option to acquire the project.
The Company issued 570,000 Shares without prior Shareholder Approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity at an issue price of $0.09 per Share.
On 29 August 2013, the Company announced that it had issued 5,000,000 Shares to Guide Resources Pty Ltd as part of its agreement to acquire the marketing rights over iron ore over Exploration Licence E28/2238.
The Company issued 5,000,000 Shares without prior Shareholder Approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity at an issue price of $0.12 per Share.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 570,000 Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes of the issue of these Shares (Share Ratification 1).
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 5,000,000 Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and all other purposes of the issue of these Shares (Share Ratification 2).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future of up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4 for the Share Ratification
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratifications:
-
(a) 570,000 Shares (Resolution 3) and 5,000,000 Shares (Resolution4) were issued;
-
(b) The issue prices per Share were $0.09 per Share (Resolution3) and $0.12 per Share (Resolution4);
-
(c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Shares were issued to Golden West Resources Limited and Guide Resources Pty Ltd respectively; and
-
(e ) no funds were raised from these issues. The Shares were issued to acquire an interest in a mining tenement and to acquire marketing rights for iron ore over a mining tenement.
4. Special Resolution 5 – Approval for Additional Placement Capacity
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Special Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing.
Special Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Special Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
• is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
Page | 9
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $17,510,000.
The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x B) – C
Where:
-
A = the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
B = 10%.
- C = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:
Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
Page | 10
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
(iii) or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Capacity Period).
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Special Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

41,205,043 | $1,751,214 | $3,502,429 | $7,004,857 |
* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 15 October 2013.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2013.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for exploration on its Fraser Range Project and potentially the funding for any suitable acquisition opportunities identified by the Board; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;
