ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - EXPLANATORY NOTES

The Explanatory Notes accompanying this Notice of Annual General Meeting are incorporated in and comprise part of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, and should be read in conjunction with this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes set out information in connection with the business to be considered at the second Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Core Exploration Ltd (“Company”) which will be held at Norman Waterhouse Lawyers, Level 15, 45 Pirie Street, Adelaide, South Australia on Tuesday 13 November 2012 at 3:30 pm (ACDT).

These Explanatory Notes should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting and is a brief explanation of Resolutions 1 to 9. Resolutions 1 to 8 are ordinary resolutions whereas Resolution 9 is a Special Resolution. They are all separate resolutions and in no way dependent on each other.

Terms defined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report within the 2012 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Directors, including the Managing Director, and the Company’s Key Management Personnel.

Pursuant to section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The vote on the proposed resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.

Under changes to the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, then Members will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (“spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (except the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. The Corporations Act also contains a re-setting mechanism so that a spill resolution could only be considered by Members at every second AGM.

The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Members to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Directors believe that the Company’s remuneration policies and structures are appropriate relative to the size of the Company and its business.

Board Recommendation : The Board, while noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company, recommends that Members vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Proxy restrictions

If you elect to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party as a proxy, then you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.

If you elect to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chairman how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1, however if you do not direct the Chairman how to vote, you acknowledge that the Chairman may exercise their discretion in exercising your proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

7

If your proxy is not a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party and is not the Chairman, then you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Michael Schwarz as a Director of the Company

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution, one third of the directors shall retire from office by rotation at each annual general meeting. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.

Accordingly Mr Michael Schwarz retires automatically as a director of the Company and being eligible, offers himself for re-election. A resume of Mr Schwarz follows:

Mr Michael Schwarz , B.Sc (Hons) Geology, AIG (Executive Director)

Michael is a qualified geologist with 15 years’ experience in mineral exploration and prospectivity assessment. As the founding Managing Director of Monax Mining Ltd (ASX:MOX) he built a portfolio of multi-commodity projects, including iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG), uranium, gold and base metals. Michael was also a founding Director of uranium explorer Marmota Energy Ltd (ASX:MEU).

Michael has over 15 years’ experience in mineral exploration within industry and government. He has extensive experience on South Australian and Gawler Craton geology and mineralisation styles and has led research projects with the SA Government, Geoscience Australia and various universities.

As the former Managing Director of Monax Mining Ltd, Michael has been responsible for building a portfolio of highly prospective tenements with a focus on iron-oxide copper-gold and uranium. From this base, the Company successfully listed on the ASX in 2005 with an oversubscribed $5 million IPO. During his time with the Company, he was instrumental in the discovery of both the Punt Hill IOCG project and Waddikee Manganese project with over $10 million of equity finance raised to develop these projects.

As a founding Director of Marmota Energy Ltd Michael helped build a strong portfolio of prospective uranium tenements and successfully managed the heavily oversubscribed IPO process, raising a total of $15 million in 2007.

Board Recommendation : The Directors (other than Mr Schwarz) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the re-election of Mr Schwarz.

Resolution 3: Issue of performance based Director Options to Michael Schwarz

Mr Michael Schwarz is an Executive Director of the Company with responsibility for the management and oversight of the Company’s mineral exploration activities. Mr Schwarz’s remuneration comprises a base salary and other cash benefits. In order to remunerate Mr Schwarz based on his qualifications and experience within the minerals exploration market and to include an incentive based component to his remuneration package, the Board has determined that he should be issued with 2,000,000 Director Options for nil consideration per Director Option to be issued on the terms set out in Table 1 . Should Mr Schwarz cease to be an employee of the Company, the Director Options will expire within 3 months of his departure.

Upon approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the 2,000,000 Director Options will be issued to Mr Schwarz within 5 business days of the AGM, but will vest in tranches upon each performance hurdle being met. The funds raised from any future exercise of Director Options will be used to fund working capital requirements of the Company.

There are four Key Performance Indicator ( KPI ) hurdles that trigger the vesting of the Director Options and they are listed below. The KPIs relate to Mr Schwarz’s performance during the period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2014. Each KPI is independent of the other KPI’s listed.

Mr Schwarz’s performance against the KPI is to be reviewed annually by the Board at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2014 with an entitlement of 100,000 Director Options per year upon successful achievement of the KPI.

4. Resource KPI (medium-long term)

Resolution 5: Ratification of Shares issued in the preceding 12 month period

In order to maintain the Company’s capacity to issue up to a maximum of 15% of the issued capital of the Company without resorting to Shareholder approval in general meeting, as required pursuant to ASX Limited Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is required to obtain Shareholder ratification to the issue of securities during the preceding 12 month period.

The Company will issue 500,000 Shares between the date of this Notice and the 2012 AGM. The Shares will be issued as consideration for a Joint Venture formed in relation to tenements EL27369, EL27709, EL28029, EL28136 and EL28546 in the Northern Territory. The Shares will be placed in voluntary escrow for a period of three months from date of issue. Full terms of the farm-in agreement are listed below:

  • Core must issue 500,000 Core Shares to vendors by 5 October 2012. Shares to be held in voluntary escrow for 3 months.

  • Core may earn an initial 51% joint venture interest by spending $225,000 on exploration during the next 2 years.

  • Core may earn an additional 29% joint venture interest (total of 80%) by spending an additional $200,000 (total of $425,000) over an additional 2 years (total of 4 years).

  • If Core acquires 80% interest, then vendors remaining 20% joint venture interest will be free carried to completion of a bankable feasibility study.

  • Core has an option to acquire the vendors’ 20% free carried interest at a price equal to the greater of $1,000,000 and a value determined by an independent expert.

The securities will be issued for nil cash as consideration for an interest in the tenements between the date of this Notice and the 2012 AGM following the execution of a voluntary escrow deed. The volume weighted average price of Core Shares on the five trading days prior to 5 October was 9 cents per Share and is deemed to be the issue price of the securities.

The securities rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue except that they will be escrowed for a 3 month period commencing on the date of issue. Holders of these Shares will not be able to dispose of these Shares in that 3 month period.

The Shares have been issued to the sellers of the Joint Venture ( JV ) interest as detailed in Table 3 .

Vendor (allottee) Shares to be allotted
Gempart (NT) Pty Ltd (or nominee) 300,000
Chongwadee O’Farrell 150,000
Riding Resources Pty Ltd 50,000

All shares have a deemed issue price of 9 cents per Share and will be allotted between the date of this Notice and the 2012 AGM. The purpose of all issues was a JV agreement executed by the Company and no funds have been raised from the issue of these Shares.

Board Recommendation : The directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the ratification of issue of Shares to the Vendors.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the Shares issued during the preceding 12 months.

Resolution 6 – Share Placement Facility

The Company seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, for a Share placement facility to allow the issue of up to a maximum 10,000,000 new Shares on the terms described in this Resolution 6.

11

The Company seeks to have the flexibility to issue Shares and to allow this number of Shares not to be included in the 15% calculation under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue Shares during the 3 months after the Annual General Meeting without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

The Shares will be issued at a minimum price that is at least 80% of the average market price for securities in that class. The average will be calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue will be made, or, if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, over the 5 days on which sales of Shares are recorded before the date of the prospectus.

The names of the proposed allottees are not known and the quantity of the Shares to be issued to each allottee is not known. The Company intends (but without limitation) that the Shares will be issued to qualified clients of member firms of ASX or sophisticated or professional investors, at the discretion of the Board.

The funds raised will be used to further the Company’s exploration program at Fitton and the newly acquired tenements in the Northern Territory as announced to the ASX on 25 September 2012 and for general working capital.

The securities will rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue.

The allotment will occur between the dated of this Annual General Meeting and 13 February 2013 – being 3 months after approval. The allotment may all occur at one time or progressively as best assessed by the Company. No Shares approved under this Resolution 6 will be issued after 13 February 2013 or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution 6, then the Company will have the flexibility to issue more securities during the 3 month period after the Annual General Meeting if an opportunity arises which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of these Shares would not make up part of the 15% limit and would enable that proportion of the 15% limit to be used for a future issue of equity securities.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Placement Facility.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the Share Placement Facility.

Resolution 7 – Issue of 1,000,000 Shares as Consideration under a JV agreement

The Company proposes to issue 1,000,000 under Listing Rule 7.1 Ordinary Shares as consideration under a Joint Venture arrangement as detailed in Table 4 .

Core has agreed to settle the purchase of rights to the Mordor tenement in the Northern Territory (EL28940) by issue of 1,000,000 Shares or $70,000.

The Shares, the subject of this Resolution 7 will be issued to the vendors within five business days of the later of the grant of the Ministerial consent and the approval of this Resolution 7.

The securities will rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION Resolution 9: Approval for 10% Additional Placement Capacity

Newly introduced Listing Rule 7.1A enables entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued Share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting. Approval of this additional capacity can only be obtained at the Annual General Meeting and not at another meeting of Shareholders. This capacity increase is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and allows the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

Resolution 9 is a special resolution and requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Timing

The approval period is to commence on the date of this Annual General Meeting and expiring at the earlier of:

  • 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting; and

  • the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.1 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

The approval will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the eligible entity’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under rule 11.1.2 or rule 11.2.

Number of Shares

The formula for calculating the maximum amount of securities to be issued under the placement capacity is calculated as follows:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

  • less the number fully paid ordinary 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%

E is the number of ordinary Shares issued or agreed to be issued under this Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue and not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The ability to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

At the date of this notice, the Company has on issue 42,000,000 Shares and therefore has capacity to issue:

  1. 6,300,000 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (subject to approval of Resolution 4);] and

  2. 4,200,000 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval of this Resolution 9).

Upon approval by Shareholders at the Meeting, the Company will issue a further 1,830,444 Shares (Resolutions 5, 6 and 8) and have the capacity to issue a further 10,000,000 Shares (Resolution 6).

14

The issue of these Shares (and Placement Capacity) will increase the capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in Table 6 .

Minimum issue price

As required by Listing Rule 7.1.A.3, the issue price of Shares under this 10% Additional Placement Capacity will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or ii) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph i), the date on which the securities are issued.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Additional Placement Capacity as follows (not already provided above):

If this resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in Table 6 below (in the case of unlisted options, only if the unlisted options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  1. the market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the meeting; and

  2. the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date or the equity securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

Table 6 also shows:

  • a) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future meeting of Shareholders; and

  • b) two examples where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Table 6 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

  • No unlisted options (including any unlisted options issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

    • Table 6 does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the meeting.
  • Table 6 shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of equity securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of equity securities includes listed options, it is assumed that those listed options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The table does include the issue of any shares under the Share Placement Facility requested for approval under Resolution 6.

  • The issue price of $0.10, being the approximate average price at which Core Shares have traded over the previous 12 month period.

The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:

  1. Non-cash consideration for the acquisition new resources, assets or investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  2. Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to, but not limited to, the following factors:

  1. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  2. the effect of the issue in the equity securities on control of the Company;

  3. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  4. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this notice, but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
