However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form, or the Chair the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
At the date of this notice the Company has not approached any existing security holders in relation to the proposed 10% Additional Placement Capacity. Accordingly, no existing shareholder will be excluded from voting under the voting exclusion statement.

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 financial report of the Company. Shareholders will be given ample opportunity to raise questions with respect to the financial report at the meeting.

Coppermoly Ltd 2016 AGM Notice of Meeting continued
RESOLUTION 1: Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 10 to 13 in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report which is also available on the Company’s website at www.coppermoly.com.au.
The Chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report). Any undirected proxies held by Directors, (except the Chair of the meeting) or other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties will not be voted on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report). If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business.
The Remuneration Report identifies Coppermoly Key Management Personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. 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 salaries and fees paid to Directors are modest and at or below industry levels.
Each Director in office at 30 June 2016 had their directors’ fees accrued in the Company’s accounts but not paid since the latter of July 2014 or their date of appointment. This is an initiative of the Directors to aid the Company’s cash flows.
The Company plans to pay accrued directors’ fees in an orderly manner once it has sufficient funds.
There have been no options issued to Directors since November 2010. All options previously issued to Directors have now expired.
The Act requires ASX-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. If 25% or more votes that are cast on Resolution 1 are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at that second annual general meeting on an additional resolution on whether another meeting should be held at which all of the Company’s Directors, other than the Managing Director, must stand for re-election. The corresponding vote at the 2015 AGM recorded less than 25% against the adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties are prohibited from voting on Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2: Re-election of Director – Mr Jincheng Yao
Article 16.1 of the Constitution requires one third, or at least one, of the Directors retire at the AGM (excluding the managing director and any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy who is yet to be ratified by a general meeting). Any Director retiring under article 16.1, if eligible, may seek reelection.
Mr Yao is retiring as Director of the Company at this AGM in accordance with Article 16.1 and, being eligible, seeks re-election.
Mr Yao, BComm and MBA, is a finance professional based in mainland China. He has held various senior executive roles in the Meijin Group and is currently Vice President and Director of Meijin Energy Group Limited. Mr Yao has experience across many aspects of mining and industry in both China and Australia.
Mr Yao has not served as a Director of any other publicly listed companies during the last three years.
The Directors (other than Mr Yao) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Coppermoly Ltd 2016 AGM Notice of Meeting continued
RESOLUTION 3: Election of Director – Mr Lin Zule
Article 15.4 of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint at any time a person to be a Director but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
In accordance with Article 15.4 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following AGM and is then eligible for election.
Mr Yao was appointed as a Director on 11 April 2016 and in accordance with the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, is now seeking election.
Mr Lin holds a master’s degree in finance, and is currently the CFO of Ever Leap parent company Shanxi Xierun Investment Limited. Mr Lin has more than 15 years of experience in financial management.
The Directors (other than Mr Lin) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4: Approval of Additional 10% Share Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires a company to obtain Shareholder approval for an issue of securities in the company if that issue will, when aggregated with all other issues during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities may seek shareholder approval at their AGM to issue a further 10% of their issued share capital in addition to the 15% capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Share Placement Capacity ).
An eligible entity for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. At the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity.
Any issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:
(a) must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities;
(b) may be issued at a maximum of 25% discount to the current market price; and
(c) must be calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
approval of Resolution 4 will provide the Company with even greater flexibility to issue securities in addition to the 15% capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without a further requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval for the 10% Share Placement Capacity:
(a) Minimum price
The minimum price at which securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity is 75% of the VWAP of securities in the same 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 of the securities to be issued is agreed; or
(ii) if they are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) (i), the date on which the securities are issued.
(b) Formula for calculating 10% Share Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 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 AGM, 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:
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
(iii) 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;
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the ability to issue securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity. The
Page 6 of 11
Coppermoly Ltd 2016 AGM Notice of Meeting continued
RESOLUTION 4: Approval of Additional 10% Share Placement Capacity (continued)
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.
As required by the ASX Listing Rules, below is a hypothetical example of the potential dilution of Shareholders of the Company where the full 10% Share Placement Capacity is utilised, on the basis of three different assumed issue prices and numbers of equity securities on issue.

Note: the table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Issue Price of $0.006 is based on the closing price of shares on 17 October 2016;
-
The current issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2;
-
The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
No options are exercised prior to the date of issue of any shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
The table shows the effect of issues of the Company’s equity securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may occur to any particular Shareholder due to any placements under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
(c) Potential risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and securities are issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, the interests of existing Shareholders who do not participate in the issue would be diluted.
Shareholders should note that in such circumstances, as with any time in the market, there is a risk that:
(i) the market price for equity securities issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
(ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those
equity securities on the issue date, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
- (d) Timing of potential issues
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on the first to occur of the following:
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval for any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
Page 7 of 11
Coppermoly Ltd 2016 AGM Notice of Meeting continued
RESOLUTION 4: Approval of Additional 10% Share Placement Capacity (continued)
The approval under Listing Rules 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(e) Purpose of potential issue
Shares may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and other investments or significant expenditure contracts. If this occurs, the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
(ii) cash consideration. If this occurs, the Company intends to use the funds raised to continue exploration and development of the Company’s current exploration assets, cover general working capital requirements and/or, if appropriate, acquire new assets or investments.
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
(f) Allocation policy under the 10% Share Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
Potential allottees of securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis, having regard to factors which may include:
(i) the methods of raising funds which are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with the various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of the raising;
(ii) the effect of any such issue on the control of the Company;
(iii) the financial situation of the Company; and (iv) advice from corporate, financial, legal and/or broking advisers.
As at the date of this Notice, no placement under the 10% Share Placement Capacity has been scheduled, and so no allottees have been determined. Any allottees of a 10% Share Placement Capacity placement may however include, as well as any existing Shareholders, substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.
(g) Prior shareholder approval
The Company sought and received Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the last AGM held on 23 November 2015.
A total of 710,673,365 equity securities, including shares and options, were issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this AGM. This represented 145.3% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the start of the 12 month period.
The above total includes 376,755,024 shares issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this AGM. This represented 98.2% of the total number of shares on issue at the start of the 12 month period.

(b) approval of the subsequent issue of 21,250,000 Convertible Notes,
from Shareholders at a general meeting of Shareholders held on 4 March 2015.
As the Convertible Notes have not yet been exercised and were scheduled for repayment on 19 December 2016, Coppermoly has obtained agreement from Jade Triumph to extend the term of the Convertible Notes by an additional twelve (12) months, so that the new Maturity Date shall now be 19 December 2017. No other changes have been made to the terms of the Convertible Notes other than extending the Maturity Date by twelve months.
Accordingly, as Shareholder ratification and approval was previously obtained for the original issue of Convertible Notes, Resolution 5 seeks ratification of the extension of the Maturity Date by twelve months, so that the new Maturity Date shall now be 19 December 2017.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Broadly, ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (together) provide that, subject to certain exceptions, the prior approval of Shareholders is
Page 9 of 11
Coppermoly Ltd 2016 AGM Notice of Meeting continued
RESOLUTION 5: Ratification of Extension of Convertible Notes (continued)
required in order to issue, or agree to issue, equity securities if the equity securities will, when aggregated with all other equity securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed the number that is equal to 25% of the number of equity securities on issue on the date that was 12 months’ prior to the date the equity securities were issued, or agreed to be issued (as applicable).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without the prior approval of Shareholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, is treated as having been made with the approval of Shareholders if the issue did not breach the ASX Listing Rules at the time of issue and the Company’s Shareholders subsequently ratify it.
As noted above, the issue of the Convertible Notes has previously been approved and ratified by Shareholders in March 2015. However, at the time of obtaining Shareholder approval/ ratification, the Convertible Notes were due to mature on 19 December 2016. Accordingly, as the Company has varied the Maturity Date to extend the term of the Convertible Notes, the Company is now seeking ratification of that amendment.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Convertible Notes held by Jade Triumph will be required to be included when calculating the Company’s 25% placement capacity contained in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s ability to raise further funds through the issue of equity securities in the future, without first obtaining Shareholder approval.
The following information is provided to assist Shareholders consider whether to approve Resolution 5:
| Number of securities |
60,000,000 Convertible Notes. |
