This 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.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in a reduction in the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report online at www.venturexresources.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

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 Directors or 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2009.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO STRAITS RESOURCES LIMITED

On 20 August 2009 the Company announced to ASX that it had entered into a binding terms sheet to acquire 100% of the issued shares in Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd ( Whim Creek ), the owner of the Whim Creek Mine and associated exploration tenements, from Straits Resources Limited ( Acquisition ).

The consideration payable by the Company under the Acquisition is as follows:

(a) 106,700,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of 7.5 cents per Share (equalling $8,000,000) at settlement; and

5

  • (b) upon an announcement by the Company of its intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Whim Creek, or the Company or any of its other related bodies corporate within 100 kilometres of the tenements held by Whim Creek, the Company will issue such number of Shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Shares on ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to the announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. In the event that the approval of Shareholders is required to issue these Shares, where such approval is not obtained, the Company will pay to Straits Resources Limited the amount of $3,500,000 in lieu of those Shares.

Pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue the 106,700,000 Shares to Straits Resources Limited (or its nominee).

In the event that Resolution 2 is passed, and the remaining conditions of the Acquisition are satisfied, Straits Resources Limited will hold approximately 19.91% of the Shares in the Company.

3.2 ASX LISTING RULES

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 106,700,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (c) the deemed issue price of the Shares will be 7.5 cents per Share. However, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares are to be issued as part consideration for the acquisition of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to Straits Resources Limited (or its nominee) as consideration for the Acquisition;

  • (e) the Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) the Shares will be issued on one date and it is intended that they will be allotted on the same date; and

  • (g) as outlined above, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares, as the Shares will be issued as consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF ANTHONY MILES REILLY AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 20.5 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 Corporations Act.

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

Mr Anthony Miles Reilly was appointed as a director of the Company on 1 July 2009 and being eligible seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RE-ELECTION OF MR MICHAEL MULRONEY AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 22.1 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, 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.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 22.1 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Michael Mulroney retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS

6.1 GENERAL

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 5,000,000 Director Options ( Director Options ) to Mr Anthony Miles Reilly (or his nominee) ( Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below:

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The grant of the Director Options to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Mr Miles Anthony Reilly is a related party of the Company.

7

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Party.

6.2 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL (CHAPTER 2E OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT AND LISTING RULE 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

  • (a) the related party is Mr Anthony Miles Reilly, a Director of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Party is 5,000,000 Director Options;

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Director Options will be granted for no consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised from the issue;

  • (e) the Director Options are issued on the following terms and conditions and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1:

No. of

(f) the value of the Director Options for Resolution 5 and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Party in securities of the Company are set out below:

(h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Party since their date of appointment is set out below:

Related Party $
Anthony Miles Reilly 33,333
  • (i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 5,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the

8

number of Shares on issue from 429,282,350 to 434,282,350 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

Shareholders should be aware that pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking approval for the issue of a further 106,700,000 Shares in the Company. In the event that Resolution 2 is passed, and those Shares issued, the dilutionary effect of the conversion of the Director Options will be further reduced below 1.15%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

(j) any funds raised through the exercise of the Director Options will be allocated towards the Company’s general working capital;

(k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.135 14 October 2009
Lowest $0.005 21 November 2008
Last $0.105 20 October 2009

(l) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to each of Mr Anthony Miles Reilly is to provide cost effective consideration for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as a Director. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) Mr Anthony Miles Reilly declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Board (other than Mr Anthony Miles Reilly) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Party will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
