EXPLANATORY NOTES

Financial Report

The Act requires that the financial report be presented to the AGM. In addition, the Company’s Constitution provides for such reports and statements to be received and considered at the AGM.

Apart from the matter involving the Remuneration Report, which is required to be voted upon, neither the Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the AGM on the report. Shareholders will be given ample opportunity to raise questions with respect to the report at the meeting.

Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in Coppermoly Limited’s 2011 Annual Report which is also available on the Company’s website www.coppermoly.com.au.

The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the meeting, other directors or other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on Item 2 (Remuneration Report). If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 2 (Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business.

The Remuneration Report identifies Coppermoly Limited’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2011. Their closely related parties are defined in the Act and include certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control.

The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Notes:

  • The cash salaries and fees paid to Directors are modest and at or below industry levels.

  • Non‐Executive Directors receive fees of between $20,000 and $25,000 per annum.

  • The values of options shown in the Remuneration Report are accounting (Black‐Scholes) valuations and do not represent or equate to cash payments. All options that have been issued to Directors to‐date are subject to substantial share price performance hurdles.

  • The Directors and Officer’s Option Plan and all options issued to Directors to‐date were approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2010 Annual General Meeting.

The Act requires listed companies to put an annual non‐binding resolution to shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report. In line with the legislation this vote will be advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Retirement of Director

Article 16.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that one‐third of the Company’s Directors (excluding Directors appointed under Article 15.4 or Article 19.3 and the Managing Director) will retire from office and be eligible for re‐election each year.

A Director who retires by rotation is eligible to offer himself for re‐election.
