EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T
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.
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 Application of Listing Rules
ASX has confirmed the application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 to the Company in relation to the proposed acquisition of the Rincon Lithium Project in Argentina (“ Project ”). The application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval to proceed with the Project. The Company is also in the process of preparing a notice of meeting (“ Notice ”). This Notice will contain fulsome disclosure including, but not limited to, an independent geologist’s report and solicitor’s report on the Project, an independent accountant’s report, a detailed work program and description of funding requirements and proposed use of funds in relation to the Company’s projects (“ Necessary Documentation ”) In addition to the Notice, the Company proposes to issue a prospectus in accordance with the timetable set out at 3.4, below.
Further to the announcement made on 4 May 2012, the Company has no need at the present time to drawdown on the facility with Truestone Capital Specialist Investment (Jersey) Limited and accordingly, no longer intends to seek shareholder approval for the facility.
3.2
Due Diligence
It is the Company’s intention to complete the due diligence by 30 September 2012 to satisfy the first step in acquiring the Project. The Company would like to note that while the due diligence has been slow in some respects, for example due to the need to translate documents from Spanish, the Company remains confident that it will proceed with the Project and is in the process of collating the Necessary Documentation.
To date the Company has received two reports on the Project from the vendor. The first report was a project overview while the second was a science paper on the asset and location of the Project. The Company is in consistent contact with the vendor and expects legal documentation (including title) to be forthcoming. However, the two reports it has received are not in a form appropriate for release to the market.
3.3 Post Settlement Activities
Lithium production is a simple process which is based on the chemical reaction between purified solutions of lithium chloride with a saturated solution of soda ash with generates precipitates of lithium carbonate brine by evaporation ponds. Lithium brine, coming from a natural deposit, is purified and subsequently concentrated through solar evaporation on lined ponds in different sizes. The slurry is then filtered and washed and sent to a repulping stage to remove additional impurities before finally being centrifuged, dried and packaged in big bags for transportation. Accordingly the production process for lithium is very simple and does not require a huge amount of working capital.

Notes
- The Nacimiento Project was first announced to the market in March 2011.
As announced in the Quarterly Activities Report on 31 October 2011, the Company intended to commence legal proceedings against JC Long Term Value Fund (“ JCLTF ”) after the conduct of JCLTF and its parent company AGS Capital Group LLC in relation to the funding facility was conducted contrary to the Corporations Act 2011 and was damaging the interests of the Company and its shareholders (“ Dispute ”). Funding from
9
3044-03 /798753
this facility was earmarked for use towards the Nacimiento Project. As a result of the Dispute, those funds were never able to be applied towards the Nacimiento Project.
This Dispute settled towards the end of 2011 as the winter in Nacimiento commenced. The weather in Nacimiento during the winter months (primarily December through to February) is extremely cold and prevents work being undertaken on the ground. During these months the ground becomes icy making it difficult to access the area and conduct exploration activities.
In July 2012 the Company sought approval from the ASX to permit it to issue a notice of meeting to raise further funds to recommence exploration on the Project.

5. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR SHARE ISSUES
5.1 General
On 25 May 2012 the Company issued 31,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.006 per Share to raise $189,000 ( Placement ).
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1 above.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (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 purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:
-
(a) 31,500,000 Shares were allotted;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.006 per Share;
10
3044-03 /798753
-
(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 allotted and issued to unrelated creditors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) No funds were raised from this issue. The shares were issued to conserve cash and to settle Company debts which included debts incurred during the negotiated withdrawal and termination from the Mangalisa Project.
When the Company withdrew from the Mangalisa Project, a dispute between the vendor and the Company arose regarding whether the Company could withdraw from the Mangalisa Project without having contributed significant exploration expenditure.
The Company engaged Rosepoint Capital Pty Ltd to provide its services to negotiate a withdrawal from the Mangalisa Project. Ultimately, the Company was able to withdraw from the Mangalisa Project without incurring any further liability. The Company agreed with Rosepoint Capital Pty Ltd to satisfy its obligations under the consultancy arrangements by the issue of 24,000,000 shares.
With respect to settling Company debts, Mr James Thompson (5,000,000) and Corporate Starboard Pty Ltd (2,500,000) assisted the Company in negotiating and arranging a placement in August 2011. Please see announcement dated 1 September 2011.
None of the subscribers were or are related parties of the Company.
