| Resolution 1 will be at least 80% of the volume | |
| weighted average price of the Company's | |
| existing Shares traded on ASX over the 5 trading | |
| days (on which trades are actually recorded) | |
| preceding the proposed date of issue. | |
| Name of person: | The Shares the subject of this Resolution 1 will only |
| be issued to persons who are (i) either | |
| sophisticated or professional investors (as those | |
| terms are defined in sections 708(8) and 708(11), | |
| respectively of the Corporations Act) and (ii) not | |
| related parties (as that term is defined in section | |
| 228 of the Corporations Act) of the Company. | |
| Terms of Securities: | The Shares the subject of this Resolution 1 will be |
| fully paid ordinary shares in the equity capital of | |
| the Company and will rank equally with the | |
| existing Shares on issue. | |
| The use of the funds raised: | The Company is seeking to raise funds to pay the |
| purchase price payable by the Company for the | |
| recently acquired Raymond and Carter Mines in | |
| Colorado, USA (for further information in relation | |

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 ): 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.
