EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WDST) on 12 January 2009 at Level 1, 35 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia.
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. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF SHARES TO LIBERTY MINING CORPORATION PTY LTD
1.1 GENERAL
On 6 August 2008, the Company announced that under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement dated 18 December 2006 between Jutt Resources Pty Ltd, Liberty Mining Corporation Pty Ltd (Liberty Mining) and Ourwest Corporation Pty Ltd (Ourwest) (JV Agreement), the Company had elected to exercise its option to increase its interest in the JV Agreement from 70% to 90% through the issue of 7,299,270 Shares and the payment of $500,000 to Liberty Mining.
On 14 November 2008, given the change in the economic climate, the Company announced to ASX that it had reached an agreement with Liberty Mining and Ourwest to cancel the exercise of the option to acquire the additional 20% interest upon the issue by the Company of a break fee of 4,500,000 Shares to Liberty Mining. As a result, the 7,299,270 Shares have not been issued to Liberty Mining.
In addition to the issue of the 4,500,000 Shares, the cancellation of the option is also conditional upon the Company:
-
(a) raising $900,000 by 31 January 2009; and
-
(b) undertaking to spend at least $200,000 on the Liberty-Indee Project before 30 June 2009.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Directors to issue 4,500,000 Shares to Liberty Mining.
1.2 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 1:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 4,500,000 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) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;
5
-
(c) the Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.01 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to Liberty Mining (or its nominee);
-
(e) the Shares 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; and
-
(f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares to Liberty Mining as they will be issued in consideration of Liberty Mining agreeing to cancellation of the option exercised by the Company under the terms of the JV Agreement.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ALLAN TRENCH 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.
Dr Allan Trench was appointed as a director of the Company on 12 November 2008 and, being eligible, seeks re-election.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO UNRELATED PARTIES
3.1 GENERAL
On 27 November 2008, the Company announced to ASX that it had entered into a series of convertible loan agreements with various parties whereby the Company was provided loan funds totalling $500,000 (Converting Loan Agreements).
The key terms of the Converting Loan Agreements are as follows:
-
(a) each lender agrees to provide loan funds to the Company;
-
(b) no interest is payable on the loan funds;
-
(c) the loans are unsecured; and
-
(d) subject to the approval of Shareholders to the issue of Shares to each lender, the loan funds shall be converted to equity in the Company at a price of $0.01 per Share.
Resolution 3 therefore seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue up to 20,000,000 Shares (representing $200,000 provided to the Company under two Converting Loan Agreements) to unrelated parties of the Company on the terms of the respective Converting Loan Agreements with the Company.
None of the allottees under Resolution 3 will be related parties of the Company.
In the event that Resolution 3 is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will be required to repay the $200,000 loaned funds to the respective lenders on the date that is six (6) months after the date of drawdown of the loans.

3.2 ASX LISTING RULES
A brief summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 1.2 above.
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 20,000,000 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) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.01 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to each of the following parties in the following amounts:
| Lender | No. of Shares |
|---|---|
| Argonaut Equity Partners Pty Limited | 10,000,000 |
| Craig Burton | 10,000,000 |
-
(e) the Shares 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; and
-
(f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares to the allottees, however the Company has received funds totalling $200,000 from Mr Craig Burton and Argonaut Equity Partners Pty Limited under their respective Converting Loan Agreements with the Company, such amount being used as general working capital and to satisfy the capital raising requirements under the agreement for cancellation of the option with Liberty Mining referred to in Section 1.1 above.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
4.1 GENERAL
A summary of the terms of the Converting Loan Agreements is outlined in Section 3.1 above.
In addition to the parties outlined in Resolution 3, the following related parties of the Company have entered into Converting Loan Agreements with the Company (Related Parties):
| Name | Amount of Converting Loan Agreement |
|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | $200,000 |
| AFM Perseus Fund Limited | $100,000 |
It is a term of the Converting Loan Agreements for each of the lenders, including the Related Parties, that subject to the receipt of the approval of Shareholders, the loan funds will be converted to Shares in the Company at a price of $0.01 per Share.
7
On that basis, the loans granted by the Related Parties will be convertible into 30,000,000 Shares if each of Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed.
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 Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of the Shares under Resolutions 4 and 5 constitute giving a financial benefit and:
-
(a) as a Director, Dr Tim Sugden is a related party of the Company; and
-
(b) AFM Perseus Fund Limited is a company related to Mr Michael Mulroney, a Director of the Company.
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 the Shares to the Related Parties.
4.2 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 Shares under Resolutions 4 and 5:
-
(a) the related parties are Dr Tim Sugden and AFM Perseus Fund Limited;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is as follows:

| AFM Perseus Fund Limited | 10,000,000 |
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;
8
-
(d) the Shares will be granted at an issue price of $0.01 per Share. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares, however the Company has received $300,000 from the Related Parties under the Converting Loan Agreements;
-
(e) the funds received under the Converting Loan Agreements with the Related Parties will be used as general working capital and to satisfy the capital raising requirements under the agreement for the cancellation of the option with Liberty Mining referred to in Section 1.1 above;
-
(f) the Shares 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;
-
(g) the price of the Shares has been set at the same price as that for the remaining lenders under the Converting Loan Agreements;
-
(h) the Related Parties currently hold the following interest in securities in the Company:
| Name | No. of Shares | No. of Options |
|---|---|---|
| Tim Sugden* | Nil | Nil |
| AFM Perseus Fund Limited | 1,725,683 | 1,029,350 |
- Pursuant to Resolution 7, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders to issue 10,000,000 Director Options to Dr Tim Sugden (or his nominee). Shareholders are directed to Section 5.2 below for additional information on those Options. In addition, the Company is also seeking approval under Resolution 10 to enable the Directors (including Dr Tim Sugden) to participate in any shortfall under the Entitlement Issue. Further information is set out in Section 7;
(i) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to Dr Tim Sugden since his appointment on 18 August 2008 has been $29,625. AFM Perseus Fund Limited has not been paid any remuneration or emoluments in the previous 12 months.
(j) if the Shares are issued to the Related Parties a total of 30,000,000 Shares will be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominees). The issue of the Shares will increase the number of Shares on issue from 69,037,064 Shares to 109,037,064 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued other than the Shares issued in accordance with Resolution 3) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:
| Related Party | Issued Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting (including Shares issued under Resolution 3) |
Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5) |
Total Shares on issue following issue of Shares |
Dilutionary effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tim Sugden (Resolution 4) |
89,037,064 | 20,000,000 | 109,037,064 | 18.34% |

| Lowest | $0.005 | 21 November 2008 |
| Last | $0.010 | 3 December 2008 |
(l) the primary purpose of the grant of Shares to the Related Parties is to comply with the terms of the Converting Loan Agreements that the Company has entered into with the Related Parties. Where the Shares are not issued, the Company will be required to repay the loan on the terms outlined in the Converting Loan Agreements;
-
(m) Dr Tim Sugden declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 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 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Board (other than Dr Tim Sugden) 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; and
-
(n) Mr Michael Mulroney 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 Michael Mulroney) 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 Shares under Resolutions 4 and 5 as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares under Resolutions 4 and 5 will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5. RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 8 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS
5.1 GENERAL
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue the following number of Options (Director Options) to each of Dr Tim Sugden, Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench (or their nominees) (Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below:

|---|---|

| Michael Mulroney | 3,000,000 |

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:
-

-
(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 Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Dr Tim Sugden, Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench are related parties of the Company.
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 Parties.

- Pursuant to Resolution 10, the Company is seeking approval for the Directors to participate in the shortfall from the Entitlement Issue. The number of Shares which may be issued to the Directors under the shortfall will depend on the number of Shares taken up by Shareholders under their entitlement and the number of Shares that Argonaut place under its agreement with the Company.

(i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 16,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 69,037,064 to 85,037,064 (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:
| Related Party | Issued Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting |
Director Options to be issued |
Issued Shares upon exercise of all Director Options |
Dilutionary effect upon exercise of Director Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | 69,037,064 | 10,000,000 | 79,037,064 | 12.65% |

| Total | 69,037,064 | 16,000,000 | 85,037,064 | 18.82% |
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 General Meeting is set out below:

| Lowest | $0.005 | 21 November 2008 |
| Last | $0.010 | 3 December 2008 |
(l) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to each of Dr Tim Sugden, Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr 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 Director Options upon the terms proposed;
13
-
(m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Options to Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench is reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves through the payment of minimal fees;
-
(n) Dr Tim Sugden declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 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 6, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Board (other than Dr Tim Sugden) 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;
-
(o) Mr Michael Mulroney declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 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 7, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. The Board (other than Mr Michael Mulroney) 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; and
-
(p) Dr Allan Trench declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 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 8, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8. The Board (other than Dr Allan Trech) 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.
6. RESOLUTION 9 – APROVAL FOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO COMPANY SECRETARY
6.1 GENERAL

-
(a) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 5,000,000 Options;
-

7. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTORS TO PARTICIPATE IN SHORTFALL OF ENTITLEMENT ISSUE
7.1 GENERAL
The Company has announced its intention to undertake a pro rata nonrenounceable entitlement issue to raise approximately $690,370 (Entitlement Issue). Argonaut Securities Pty Limited (Argonaut) has agreed to manage the issue of the shortfall of the Entitlement Issue on a “reasonable endeavours” basis. The Directors, in consultation with Argonaut, intend to issue the shortfall from the Entitlement Issue to non-related parties of the Company. However, to ensure that sufficient funds are raised from the Entitlement Issue, the Directors are seeking approval to participate in the allocation of the shortfall from the Entitlement Issue (Shortfall Shares) up to the following amounts:
| Director | No. of Shortfall Shares |
|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | 10,000,000 |
| Michael Mulroney | 2,000,000 |
| Allan Trench | 2,000,000 |
No Shares will be issued to a Director under Resolution 10 if the issue will result in that Director having an interest in greater than 20% of the voting Shares on issue at the time of the issue.
The number of Shortfall Shares that will be available to distribute by the Company will depend on the take up by Shareholders of their individual entitlement under the Entitlement Issue.
As outlined in Section 5 above, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company (Related Parties).
15
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 Shortfall Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Shortfall Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Dr Tim Sugden, Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench are related parties of the Company.
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 Shortfall Shares to the Related Parties.
7.2 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 Shortfall Shares:
-
(a) the related parties are Dr Tim Sugden, Mr Michael Mulroney and Dr Allan Trench, each a Director of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shortfall Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is as follows:
| Director | No. of Shortfall Shares |
|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | 10,000,000 |
| Michael Mulroney | 2,000,000 |
| Allan Trench | 2,000,000 |
-
(c) the Shortfall Shares will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shortfall Shares will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Shortfall Shares will be issued at a price of $0.01 per Share, being the price at which the Entitlement Issue is to be undertaken. Accordingly, a maximum amount of $140,000 could be raised if the Directors are required to apply for their maximum number of Shortfall Shares;
16
-
(e) The Shortfall Shares, when issued, will rank pari passu with the existing Shares on issue;
-
(f) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:
| Related Party | Shares | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Tim Sugden* | Nil | Nil |
| Michael Mulroney* | 1,900,410 | 1,029,350 |
| Allan Trench* | Nil | Nil |
*Pursuant to the remaining resolutions of this Notice of Meeting, the Company is seeking approval to issue the following Securities to the Directors:
-
(i) 20,000,000 Shares to Dr Tim Sugden on conversion of his Converting Loan Agreement;
-
(ii) 10,000,000 Director Options to Dr Tim Sugden;
-
(iii) 10,000,000 Shares to AFM Perseus Fund Limited, a company related to Mr Michael Mulroney;
-
(iv) 3,000,000 Director Options to Mr Michael Mulroney; and
-
(v) 3,000,000 Director Options to Dr Allan Trench;
-
(g) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties since their date of appointment is set out below:
| Related Party | $ |
|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | $29,625 |
| Michael Mulroney | $30,000 |
| Allan Trench | Nil |
(h) if the maximum number of Shortfall Shares are issued to the Related Parties, a total of 14,000,000 Shares would be issued and allotted. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 69,037,064 to 83,037,064 (assuming that no other Options are exercised, no other Shares are issued, and no other Shareholders take up their entitlement under the Entitlement Issue) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:
| Related Party | Issued Shares following Entitlement Issue but before Shortfall issued |
Shortfall Shares to be issued to Directors |
Issued Shares after issue of Shortfall Shares |
Dilutionary effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tim Sugden | 69,037,064 | 10,000,000 | 79,037,064 | 12.65% |
17
| Michael Mulroney |
69,037,064 | 2,000,000 | 71,037,064 | 2.82%% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allan Trench | 69,037,064 | 2,000,000 | 71,037,064 | 2.82% |
| Total | 69,037,064 | 14,000,000 | 83,037,064 | 16.86% |
(i) any funds raised through the issue of the Shortfall Shares to the Directors will be allocated to exploration at the Liberty-Indee project and to general working capital of the Company which shall be outlined in the prospectus for the Entitlement Issue which will be issued prior to the date of the General Meeting;
(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.30 | 17 December 2007 |
| Lowest | $0.005 | 21 November 2008 |
| Last | $0.010 | 3 December 2008 |
(k) the primary purpose of the grant of Shortfall Shares to the Directors is to ensure that the Company raises sufficient funds to meet its obligations where the take up of the Entitlement Issue from Shareholders, and the issue of any other shortfall to non-related parties by Argonaut does not result in the Company achieving that minimum;
(l) the Directors decline to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 10 due to their interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shortfall Shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shortfall Shares to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
8. RESOLUTION 11 – CHANGE OF NAME
The new name proposed to be adopted under Resolution 11 is “Venturex Resources Limited”. The Directors believe that this new name more accurately reflects the proposed future operations of the Company.
Section 157 of the Corporations Act requires that for a company to change its name, it must pass a special resolution at a general meeting adopting the new name. Accordingly, 75% of all votes cast on this resolution must be in favour of the resolution for Resolution 11 to pass.
9. ENQUIRIES
