GENERAL MEETING - EXPLANATORY NOTES

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

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

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

GENERAL BUSINESS

Resolutions 1 and 2: Ratification of Shares and Options issued in the preceding 12 month period

Background to Resolutions 1 and 2

On 12 December 2014, Core announced that it had issued 15,000,000 Shares and 15,000,000 Options exercisable at 10 cents each before 31 January 2016 to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to raise $750,000 (before costs) for the Company’s Albarta and Jervois projects.

Reason for approval

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued Securities within a 12-month period.

Further, under Listing Rule 7.1A, as approved at the Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting held on 30 October 2014, the Company may issue a further 10% of Shares on issue under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

The Shares and Options were issued on 12 December 2014 without Shareholder approval and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the issue at this Meeting.

Core issued 15,000,000 Shares at 5 cents per Share to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors raising a total of $750,000 (before costs) and a further 15,000,000 Options for nil consideration on a 1 for 1 basis to the same sophisticated, professional and institutional investors as those issued Shares.

Of the 30,000,000 Securities issued, 13,548,628 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and the remaining 1,451,372 Shares and 15,000,000 Options were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Securities.

The Shares rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue. The Options do not rank equally with other Securities on issue. Options are exercisable at 10 cents each before 31 January 2016 and are not quoted on ASX. Key terms and conditions of the Options are listed in Appendix 1.

The purpose of the funds raised in the placement of Shares and Options was to:

  • Plan additional work on copper targets at Virginia and Copper Royals subject upcoming drill assay results from Core’s current copper-focussed drilling in the NT;

  • Modelling and interpretation of potential drill targets within the highly prospective Bonya Schist utilising final AEM data on Core’s tenements adjacent to KGL’s Jervois project and close to Rox Resources’ spectacular copper intersections;

  • Drilling of prioritised copper targets on Core’s Jervois Domain tenements Q1 2015 subject to interpretation and modelling of exploration results in the east Arunta NT; and

  • Provide the Company with working capital to enable it to support the acceleration of exploration activities over the greater Albarta project.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the adoption of the ratification of Shares and Options issued in the preceding 12 month period.
