3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR MICHAEL GEOFFREY MULRONEY

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to the passing of Resolution 1 and obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 10,000,000 Options to Mr Michael Geoffrey Mulroney ( Director Options ) (or his nominee) ( Mr Mulroney ) on the terms and conditions described below.

3.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue securities to the following persons without shareholder approval:

  • a related party; and

 a person whose relationship with the company or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

By virtue of his position as a Director, Mr Michael Geoffrey Mulroney is a related party of the Company. Further, the grant of the Director Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 for the grant of the Director Options to Mr Mulroney.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of the Director Options under Resolution 3:

  • (a) the related party is Mr Mulroney, 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 Mr Mulroney is as follows:

4

Director No. of Director Options
Michael Geoffrey Mulroney 10,000,000

(c) the Director Options will be granted to Mr Mulroney within 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 that the Director Options will be issued on one date;

(d) the Director Options will be granted at the following issue price:

Director No. of Director Options Issue Price
Michael Geoffrey Mulroney 10,000,000 Nil

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
Options
Vesting Date Exercise Price Expiry Date
10,000,000 40% 12 months
from date of issue.
60% 20 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 12 cents per
Option, whichever is the
higher.
Three years
from date of
issue.
Unvested
options lapse
on cessation of
employment.

(f) the value of the Director Options for Resolutions 3 and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

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

Related Party Shares Options
Michael Geoffrey Mulroney 3,618,160* Nil
  • Represents shareholding at the date of this notice. On 29 May 2012, the Company announced its intention to conduct a 1:10 underwritten nonrenounceable entitlement offer to Shareholders which will entitle Mr Michael Geoffrey Mulroney to acquire an additional 361,816 shares at an issue price of $0.036. The closing date of the offer is 3 July 2012.

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

Related Party $ Michael Geoffrey Mulroney $130,455.47 (i) if the Director Options granted to Mr Mulroney are exercised, a total of 10,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,250,329,135 to 1,260,329,135 (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:

Meeting

  • Issued capital as at the date of this notice. On 29 May 2012, the Company announced its intention to conduct an underwritten 1:10 non-renounceable entitlement offer to Shareholders, which will result in an additional 125,032,914 shares being issued, increasing the issued capital to 1,375,362,049. The closing date of the offer is 3 July 2012.

  • (j) 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;

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

(l) 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 $0.11 26 July 2011
Lowest $0.035 22 May 2012
Last $0.040 15 June 2012

(m) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to Mr Mulroney is to provide cost effective consideration as part of his remuneration package for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as Managing 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;

  • (n) Mr Mulroney declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 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 3, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Board (other than Mr 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;

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

  • 3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 – 216 of the Corporations Act (in this case, the applicable exception is Section 211 as described below); or

6

Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after the approval.

The Company considers the proposed issue of the Directors Options to Mr Mulroney to be reasonable remuneration and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR PLACEMENT – SHARES

4.1 General

On 28 May 2012, the Company completed a strategic placement to Northern Star Resources Limited ( Subscriber ) of 163,086,409 Shares ( Placement ).

On 29 May 2012, the Company announced the completion of the Placement and its intention to conduct a 1:10 underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer to Shareholders fully underwritten by the Subscriber. The Company also announced the appointment of Mr Ray Parry, an employee of the Subscriber, as a Director of the Company effective 29 May 2012, and that it had entered into non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Subscriber to explore potential joint development options for the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project.

The Subscriber pursuant to the Placement was not a related party of the Company.

Resolution 4 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.

4.2 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) 163,086,409 Shares were issued and allotted;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.04 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 Northern Star Resources Limited, who qualifies as a sophisticated investor as that term is defined in the Corporations Act and who therefore falls within one of the exclusions for the requirement for the Shares to be issued under a disclosure document. The party at the time of the issues was a related party to the Company; and

  • (e) as announced to ASX on 29 May 2012, the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used toward completion of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project feasibility study, exploration activities in the Pilbara and Brazil, and to provide general working capital.

7

5. RESOLUTION 5 – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and clause 20.10 of the Company’s Constitution require that the maximum total aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors of the Company be set by the Shareholders in general meeting.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the maximum total aggregate remuneration that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors by $100,000 to $400,000 per annum. This has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

It is noted that it is not presently intended to distribute all of the $400,000 (if approved) in the current year, rather it will assist in accommodating any increase in the number of Directors and provide the flexibility to allow payment of appropriate fees over time.

The Directors, other than the Non-Executive Directors of the Company, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

6. ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are requested to contact the Company Secretary, Liza Carpene, on (+61 8) 6389 7400 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. 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.

2.

( 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.

3. ( Signing Instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  • ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members must sign.

  • ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.
