EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.acclaimexploration.com.au/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution 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 2012 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 2012 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 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 reelection 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.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how

6

3044-02/625177_3

they are to vote. Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

2.3 Definitions

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

  • (a) a spouse or child of the member;

  • (b) a child of the member’s spouse;

  • (c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;

  • (d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;

  • (e) a company the member controls; or

  • (f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s report section of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ANTHONY HAMILTON

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Anthony Hamilton will retire in accordance with the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JOHN GEARY

The Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became

7

3044-02/625177_3

Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

John Geary, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

Shareholders should note that the Shares and Options subject to Resolution 7 have been stated on a pre-Consolidation basis, and will be subject to the Consolidation proposed in this Resolution 8.

9.1 Background

The Directors are seeking Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares and Options on issue on a one (1) for ten (10) basis.

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by a resolution passed in a general meeting of shareholders, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares. ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1 also requires that the number of options on issue must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice will be reduced from 1,795,095,042to approximately179,509,504. The number of Options on issue as at the date will be reduced from 337,880,553 to approximately 33,788,055and the exercise price of the Options will be increased by a multiple of ten.

11

3044-02/625177_3

As from the effective date of the Resolution (being the date of the Annual General Meeting), all holding statements for Shares and Options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of postconsolidation Shares and Options. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued to Shareholders and Optionholders.

The effect the Resolutions contained within the Notice will have on the capital structure of the Company is as follows:

  2. Expiry date of 28 February 2014 and an exercise price of $0.02 (preConsolidation) or $0.20 (post-Consolidation).

9.2 Fractional entitlements and taxation

Not all Shareholders and Option holders will hold that number of Shares and Options which can be evenly divided by 10. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Directors will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share or Option.

It is not considered that any taxation consequences will exist for Shareholders or Option holders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders and Option holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor the Directors (or the Company’s

12

advisers) accept any responsibility for the individual taxation consequences arising from the Consolidation.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member 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 member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing Instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  • ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.

  • ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
