VOTING BY PROXY

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • o the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EX P LANATORY STATEMEN T

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 1.00pm (WST) on 29 November 2011 at The George, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth, 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.

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 2011 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 unless specifically requested to do so. Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report online at www.venturexresources.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2012 annual general meeting, 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 of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the [extraordinary] general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2012 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 Directors' report 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 reelection at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or reelection as Directors is approved will be 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2011.

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

2.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

2.3 Definitions

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

5

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

(a) a spouse or child of the member; (b) a child of the member’s spouse; (c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;

(d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;

(e) a company the member controls; or

(f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth).

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s report section of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF JOHN STEPHEN NITSCHKE 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 John Stephen Nitschke was appointed as a Director of the Company on 30 August 2011 and being eligible seeks re-election.

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

Clause 22.1 of the Constitution requires that one third (or the number nearest one-third) of the 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 without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been the longest in office since their last election or appointment, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall, in default of agreement between them, be determined by drawing lots.

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

The Company currently has 5 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

Mr Anthony Miles Reilly, being the Director longest in office since his last re-election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR JOHN STEPHEN NITSCHKE

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to the passing of Resolution 2 and obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 3,000,000 Options to Mr John Stephen Nitschke (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.

6

The grant of the Options to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Mr John Stephen Nitschke is a related party of the Company, unless the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporates Act.

It is the view of the Board that the issue of the Options constitutes reasonable remuneration in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not sought for the grant of the Options to Mr John Stephen Nitschke under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. However, the Board believes that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 only.

5.2 Shareholder Approval (Listing Rule 10.11)

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:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Mr John Stephen Nitschke, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Party is 3,000,000 Options;

  • (c) the 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 Options will be issued on one date;

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

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

No. of
Options
Vesting Date Exercise Price Expiry Date
3,000,000 40% 12 months
from date of
issue.
60% 24 months
from date of
issue.
50% premium to the VWAP of
Shares in the last five trading
days on which there were sales
prior to the date of issue, with a
minimum floor exercise price of
15 cents per Option.
Three years
from date of
issue.

(f) the value of the Options 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:

below:
Related Party Shares Options
John Stephen Nitschke Nil Nil

(h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Party for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current Financial
Year
Previous
Financial Year
John Stephen Nitschke $40,000 Nil*

*Mr Nitschke was appointed as a Director on 30 August 2011.

(i) if the Options granted to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 3,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,087,242,726 to 1,090,242,726 (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:

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

  • (j) any funds raised through the exercise of the 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 $0.165 25 January 2011
Lowest $0.065 4 October 2011
Last $0.080 24 October 2011

(l) the primary purpose of the grant of Options to Mr John Stephen Nitschke is to provide cost effective consideration for his 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 Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Options to Mr John Stephen Nitschke is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Options to Mr John Stephen Nitschke reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

  • (n) Mr John Stephen Nitschke declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution;

  • (o) Mr Anthony Kiernan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the following reason:

  • (i) the grant of Options to the Related Party will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Party; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (p) Mr Anthony Reilly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii);

  • (q) Dr Timothy John Sugden recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii); and

  • (r) Dr Allan Trench recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii).

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the

8

issue of 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.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL OF OPTIONS TO DRS TIMOTHY JOHN SUGDEN AND ALLAN TRENCH

6.1 General

The Company has agreed to allot and issue 10,000,000 Options to Dr Timothy John Sugden (or his nominee) ( Related Party ) and 3,000,000 Options to Dr Allan Trench (or his nominee) ( Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below:

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 is set out above in Section 5.1.

The grant of the Options to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Drs Timothy John Sugden and Allan Trench are related parties of the Company, unless the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporates Act

It is the view of the Board that the issue of the Options constitutes reasonable remuneration in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not sought for the grant of the Options to Drs Timothy John Sugden and Allan Trench under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. However, the Board believes that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 only.

6.2 Shareholder Approval (Listing Rule 10.11)

This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,087,242,726 to 1,100,242,726 (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:

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

(j) any funds raised through the exercise of the 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:

  • (l) the primary purpose of the grant of Options to Drs Timothy John Sugden and Allan Trench is to provide cost effective consideration for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their roles as Directors. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Options to Dr Allan Trench is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Options to Dr Allan Trench reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

  • (n) Dr Timothy John Sugden declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

  • (o) Mr Anthony Kiernan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the following reason:

  • (i) the grant of Options to the Related Party will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Party; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (p) Mr Anthony Reilly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii);

  • (q) Mr John Nitschke recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii);

  • (r) Dr Allan Trench recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii);

  • (s) Dr Allan Trench declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution;

  • (t) Mr Anthony Kiernan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii):

  • (u) Mr Anthony Reilly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii);

  • (v) Mr John Nitschke recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii); and

  • (w) Dr Timothy John Sugden recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the reasons set out in subparagraphs (o)(i) to (o)(iii).

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the

11

issue of Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR PLACEMENT - SHARES 7.1 General On 1 February 2011, the Company completed a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Subscribers ) of 98,275,311 Shares. The Subscribers pursuant to the placement were not related parties of the Company. Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Share Ratification ). 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. 7.2 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. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. 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.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:

  • (a) 98,275,311 Shares were issued and allotted; (b) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.09 per Share; (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were allotted and issued to 73 private institutional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Argonaut Capital Limited, all of whom qualify as sophisticated investors as that term is defined in the Corporations Act and all of whom therefore fall within one of the exclusions for the requirement for the Shares to be issued under a disclosure document. None of the parties at the time of the issues was a related party to the Company; and

  • (e) as announced to ASX on 21 January 2011, the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used toward acquisition of the Panorama Copper-Zinc Project (now referred to as the Sulphur Springs Project) from CBH Resources Limited and to provide general working capital to fast track the definitive feasibility study of the combined projects (now referred to as the Pilbara VMS Copper-Zinc Project).

8. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF THE VENTUREX RESOURCES LIMITED PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN

8.1 Background

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the establishment of the Venturex Resources Limited Performance Plan, and the grant in future of Performance Rights to employees, including executives, Directors and contractors ( Employees ) under that Plan.

On 24 October 2011, the Board adopted the Performance Rights Plan to allow the Directors and employees to be granted performance rights to acquire Shares in the Company ( Performance Rights ).

The Performance Rights Plan is a long term incentive plan aimed at creating a stronger link between Employee performance and reward and increasing Shareholder value by enabling

12

Employees to have a greater involvement with, and share in the future growth and profitability of, the Company.

The Performance Rights Plan provides for the issuance of performance share rights which, upon a determination by the Board that the performance conditions attached to the Performance Rights have been met, will result in the issue of one Share in the Company for each Performance Right.

The Performance Rights Plan will be used as part of the remuneration planning for executive Directors and employees. The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that executive remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the company’s circumstances and goals.

The Performance Rights Plan will also be used as part of the remuneration planning for nonexecutive Directors. Although this is not in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Council Guidelines, the Company considers that it is appropriate for non-executive Directors to participate in the Performance Rights Plan given the current size and resources of the Company, and the need to rely on the key core skill sets and specific experience and input of individual non-executive Directors during the Company’s future growth strategy.

The issue of Performance Rights to Directors will require an additional Shareholder approval under the Listing Rules.

8.2

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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.

One of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 – Exception 9, which provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the three (3) years before the date of issue, Shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Directors to grant Performance Rights to Employees of the Company pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan during the period of three (3) years after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by the ASX), and to issue Shares to those Employees if they achieve the performance and vesting conditions of the Performance Rights, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

In the case of a Director, no Performance Rights may be issued to a Director without separate Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

8.3 Information Required by the ASX Listing Rules – Terms of the Performance Rights Plan

A summary of the Terms of the Performance Rights Plan is provided at Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Statement. A copy of the Performance Rights Plan will be made available to any Shareholder on request.

No Performance Rights have been issued under the Performance Rights Plan as at the date of the Explanatory Statement. The Company has previously established an Employee Incentive Option Plan which will operate in conjunction with the proposed Performance Rights Plan.

8.4 Reasons for the Performance Rights Plan

The Performance Rights Plan is a long term incentive plan aimed at creating a stronger link between Employee performance and reward and increasing Shareholder value by enabling Employees to have a greater involvement with, and share in the future growth and profitability of, the Company.

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Company needs to attract and retain its key staff. The Board believes that implementation of the Performance Rights Plan will:

  • (a) enable the Company to recruit and retain Employees of the calibre needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives;

13

  • (b) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of the Company’s business objectives;

  • (c) motivate Directors and generate loyalty from senior employees;

  • (d) enable the Company to reward Employees for their past performance;

  • (e) align the financial interest of participants in the Performance Rights Plan with those of Shareholders; and

  • (f) provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth.
