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 10.00 am (WST) on Thursday, 15 April 2010 at Suite 3, Level 1, 127 Cambridge Street, West Leederville, 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 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – MACQUARIE OPTIONS

1.1 General

On or about January 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited ( Macquarie ) pursuant to which Macquarie agrees to make $3 million available to the Company under a Facility Agreement ( Macquarie Facility Agreement ). As announced to the market on 10 February 2010, the funds will be used to support:

  • (a) a drill-out and mining study at the Whim Creek Project; and

  • (b) a performance bond facility to cover existing environmental bonds over tenements held by Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd ( SWC ).

As consideration for Macquarie agreeing to make the facility available to the Company, the Company must issue 31,578,947 Options to Macquarie ( Macquarie Options ).

Macquarie is not a related party of the Company.

Subsequent to the entry into the Macquarie Facility Agreement and the issue of the Macquarie Options and pursuant to the terms of the Macquarie Options, Macquarie has notified the Company that it has entered into an agreement with Straits Resources Limited ( Straits ) to transfer 8,421,053 Macquarie Options to Straits in exchange for Straits assuming a portion of the debt provided to the Company under the Macquarie Facility Agreement.

Straits is a substantial Shareholder, holding approximately 19.9% of the Company’s issued Shares. Therefore, on the basis that Straits has an interest in Resolution 1 through its agreement with Macquarie, Straits will be excluded from voting on Resolution 1.

The Macquarie Options were issued to Macquarie on 16 February 2010. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options ( Macquarie Option Ratification ).

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

5

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.

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.

1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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

  • (a) 31,578,947 Macquarie Options were allotted;

  • (b) the Macquarie Options were issued for nil cash consideration;

  • (c) the Macquarie Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Macquarie Options were all allotted and issued to Macquarie. As outlined above, Macquarie have advised the Company that it has, or intends to, transfer 8,421,053 Macquarie Options to Straits; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Macquarie Options were issued in consideration for Macquarie agreeing to making the funds available to the Company under the Macquarie Facility Agreement.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – GIVING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO MACQUARIE

2.1 General

The Macquarie Options the subject of Resolution 1 were issued as consideration for Macquarie agreeing to make the Macquarie Facility available to the Company. Accordingly, the Macquarie Options were issued to Macquarie for nil consideration. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Macquarie Options by Macquarie in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.

If Shareholders do not approve the giving of financial assistance to Macquarie, Macquarie may not exercise the Macquarie Options and the Company is required under the Macquarie Facility Agreement to agree an alternate form of consideration with Macquarie for Macquarie making the Macquarie Facility available to the Company.

2.2 Sections 260A and 260B of the Corporations Act

Under section 260A of the Corporations Act, a company ( Assisting Company ) may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the Assisting Company only if the giving of financial assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the Assisting Company or its Shareholders, or the Assisting Company’s ability to pay its creditors, or the financial assistance has been approved by the Assisting Company’s Shareholders.

Shareholder approval for financial assistance by the Company must be given by a special resolution. No votes may be cast in favour of the resolution by the person receiving the financial assistance.

There is no definition in the Corporations Act of what is meant by “financial assistance”. Whether a transaction involves financial assistance is a question of fact

6

to be answered in light of the circumstances. Accordingly, the expression would appear to be intended to be given a wide meaning.

By issuing the Macquarie Options to Macquarie and allowing Macquarie to exercise those Options, the Company is arguably providing financial assistance to Macquarie to acquire shares in the Company. The Directors are of the view that the exceptions under section 260C of the Corporations Act may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval under section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act in order to provide the financial assistance to Macquarie.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – ARGONAUT OPTIONS

3.1 General

On or about January 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Argonaut Equity Partners Pty Ltd ( Argonaut ) pursuant to which Argonaut agrees to make $1 million available to the Company on substantially the same terms as the Macquarie Facility Agreement ( Argonaut Facility Agreement ). The funds will be used by the Company for the same purposes as the funds under the Macquarie Facility Agreement (described in Section 1.1 above).

As consideration for Argonaut agreeing to make the facility available to the Company, the Company must issue 10,526,316 Options to Argonaut ( Argonaut Options ).

Argonaut is not a related party of the Company.

The Argonaut Options were issued on 16 February 2010. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Argonaut Options ( Argonaut Option Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

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.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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

  • (a) 10,526,316 Argonaut Options were allotted;

  • (b) the Argonaut Options were issued for nil cash consideration;

  • (c) the Argonaut Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Argonaut Options were allotted and issued to Argonaut; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Argonaut Options were issued in consideration for Argonaut making the funds available to the Company under the Argonaut Facility Agreement

7

4. RESOLUTION 4 – GIVING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ARGONAUT

4.1 General

The Argonaut Options the subject of Resolution 3 were issued as consideration for Argonaut agreeing to make the Argonaut Facility available to the Company. Accordingly, the Argonaut Options were issued to Argonaut for nil consideration. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Argonaut Options by Argonaut in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.

If Shareholders do not approve the giving of financial assistance to Argonaut, Argonaut may not exercise the Argonaut Options and the Company is required under the Argonaut Facility Agreement to agree an alternate form of consideration with Argonaut for Argonaut making the Argonaut Facility available to the Company.

4.2 Sections 260A and 260B of the Corporations Act

A summary of section 260A of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 2.2 above.

By issuing the Argonaut Options to Argonaut and allowing Argonaut to exercise those Options, the Company is arguably providing financial assistance to Argonaut to acquire shares in the Company. The Directors are of the view that the exceptions under section 260C of the Corporations Act may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval under section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act in order to provide the financial assistance to Argonaut.

5. ENQUIRIES

  • (l) The Company must ensure that sufficient nominal but unissued and unallotted share capital is available at all times to enable the Optionholder to exercise the Options.

  • (m) The Optionholder warrants that section 709A(5) of the Corporations Act will apply to offers of the Shares allotted on exercise for re-sale and that those Shares will be freely tradeable and the issue of the Options will not contravene or result in a breach of Chapter 7 of the ASX Listings, Rule 7.

  • (n) The Optionholder may at any time and in its absolute discretion assign or otherwise transfer any or all of the Options without the consent of the Company, provided that the offer or invitation giving rise to the transfer does not constitute an offer or invitation for which disclosure is required to be made to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.
