EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 3:00 pm (WST) on 29 November 2010 at Esplanade River Suite Hotel, 112 Melville Parade, Como, Western Australia

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the business of the meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s Financial Report and reports of directors and auditors for the year ended 30 June 2010, together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report on its website at www.modenaresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders.

However, Shareholders should note that the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 TO 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Clause 11.11 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Messrs Anthony Hamilton, Tony Izelaar and James Row retire in accordance with clause 11.12 of the Constitution and, being eligible, seek re-election.

4. RESOLUTION 5 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR CRAIG WILLIS

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their

6

number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 1 Director (excluding those referred to in Resolutions 1-3) and accordingly 1 must retire.

Mr Craig Willis, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

On 25 May 2010, the Company issued 110,375,000 ordinary fully paid Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share together with 55,187,500 free attaching options exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 31 December 2013 to raise $4,415,000 to sophisticated and exempt investors pursuant to section 708 of the Corporation Act.

The subscribers pursuant to this issue were not related parties of the Company.

The Placement of 5,375,000 of the 110,375,000 Shares and 2,687,500 of the 55,187,500 Options were made as part of the shareholder approval received on 19 March 2010.

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.
