EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS – AGENDA ITEM

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 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 is available on its website at http://www.datelineresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

Section 250R(2) of 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, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% or more of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors.

6

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, under the Proxy Form you expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR GEORGE NIUMATAIWALU

Clause 13.2 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 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. Any Director appointed by the Directors to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors under clause 13.4 of the Constitution is not taken into account when determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution.

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 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has two Directors who were elected at a general meeting of the Shareholders, and accordingly one of them must retire.

7

As Mr Mark Johnson and Mr George Niumataiwalu were both last elected as Directors at last year’s annual general meeting of the Shareholders, it has been determined by agreement between these Directors that Mr Niumataiwalu will retire.

Mr Niumataiwalu retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

The Directors (excluding Mr Niumataiwalu) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR STEPHEN BAGHDADI

Clause 13.4 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.

Mr Stephen Baghdadi will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

The Directors (excluding Mr Baghdadi) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS - MR STEPHEN BAGHDADI

5.1 General

The ASX requires, under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, that Shareholders approve the grant of new securities to a Director.

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 7,500,000 Options to Mr Baghdadi.

Mr Baghdadi was appointed to the Board with effect from 3 July, 2014 and has taken on a role as an executive Director with effect from 14 October, 2014. As a result, the Company has agreed to issue Mr Baghdadi with 7,500,000 Options as part of his remuneration package.

The Board (excluding Mr Baghdadi who absented himself from the deliberations) have formed the view that Mr Baghdadi’s remuneration package is reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and Mr Baghdadi (including the responsibilities involved in his office). As a result, the Company is not seeking additional Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Options to Mr Baghdadi:

  • (a) the person to be issued the Options is Mr Baghdadi;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Baghdadi is 7,500,000;

  • (c) the Options will be issued to Mr Baghdadi promptly following the date of the Annual General Meeting and in any event no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting;

8

  • (d) the Options will not have an issue price. They will be issued for no consideration. The Options will be exercisable at 4 cents and will expire on the date that is 18 months from the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options. It is anticipated that any funds raised from the exercise of the Options (if this occurs) will be used by the Company to further advance its projects and for other working capital;

If approval is given to the issue of Options under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Further, the issue of Options to Mr Baghdadi will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

A voting exclusion statement in relation to this Resolution has been included in this Notice.

The Directors (excluding Mr Baghdadi) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 4.

5.2 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, under the Proxy Form you expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE TO SOUTHERN CROSS EXPLORATION N.L.

On 2 July 2014 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Southern Cross for Southern Cross to subscribe for 15,000,000 Shares in the Company, representing 19.7% of the Company’s issued capital (following completion of the placement), at an issue price of 4 cents per Share.

The placement was to be conducted in two tranches. The first tranche of 7,500,000 Shares was completed on Friday, 4 July 2014. The second tranche (of a further 7,500,000 Shares) is to be completed by 31 December 2014.

9

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of equity securities that a listed entity may issue in any 12 month period, without the approval of shareholders, to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the start of the period, subject to certain adjustments and permitted exceptions. The entity does not need to include within the 15% limit any ordinary securities issued in the 12 month period that were issued with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the original issue did not breach the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

The first tranche of the placement was made without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, with 6,130,000 Shares issued using the entirety of the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as approved by Shareholders on 29 November, 2013, and the balance of the Shares (being 1,370,000 Shares), issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

It is the issue of these 7,500,00 Shares issued without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for which the Company is seeking approval under Resolution 5.

Shareholder approval of Resolution 5 will provide the Company flexibility in considering any further fundraising, and will enable the Company to raise further funds at any time during the next 12 months by issuing up to the full 15% of its issued share capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Share issue approved in accordance with Resolution 5 will not be included within the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In addition to this, Shareholder approval of Resolution 5 will increase the Company’s ability to issue Equity Securities under the approval sought in Resolution 6, because the Share issue approved in accordance with Resolution 5 will be have been issued with the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4. For further details of how the 10% Placement Capacity is calculated, see section 8 below.

In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares to Southern Cross on 2 July 2014:

  • (a) the number of Shares to be issued was 7,500,000;

  • (b) the issue price of the Shares was 4 cents per Share, resulting in a total issue price of $300,000;

  • (c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which will rank equally with all other Shares on issue;

  • (d) the person issued the Shares was Southern Cross; and

  • (e) the funds raised by the Company are being used for working capital purposes.

A voting exclusion statement in relation to this Resolution has been included in this Notice.

The Directors (excluding Mr Baghdadi, as he is also a director of Southern Cross) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 5.

10

7. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF FUTURE SHARE ISSUE TO SOUTHERN CROSS EXPLORATION N.L.

Under Resolution 5, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to the issue the second tranche of the placement to Southern Cross (of a further 7,500,000 Shares).

Shareholder approval of Resolution 6 will provide the Company flexibility in considering any further fundraising, and will enable the Company to raise further funds at any time during the next 12 months by issuing up to the full 15% of its issued share capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1, without the further Share issue approved in accordance with Resolution 6 being included within the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to Southern Cross:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 7,500,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued to Southern Cross before 31 December 2014;

  • (c) the issue price of the Shares is 4 cents per Share, resulting in a total issue price of $300,000;

  • (d) the person to be issued the Shares is Southern Cross;

  • (e) the Shares to be issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which will rank equally with all other Shares on issue;

  • (f) the funds raised by the Company will be used for working capital purposes.

A voting exclusion statement in relation to this Resolution has been included in this Notice.

The Directors (excluding Mr Baghdadi, as he is also a director of Southern Cross) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 6.

The Company reserves right to proceed with the issue of the second tranche of the placement to Southern Cross if Shareholders do not approve Resolution 6, if permissible under the ASX Listing Rules.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

8.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period of 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This is in addition to the existing 15% placement capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

11

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300 million.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: DTR).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX 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 Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of the Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

8.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Minimum price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that 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 at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

12

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Risk of voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; 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 date of issue.

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the voting interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) hand to the Company at Level 4 20 Loftus Street Sydney; or
