DIATREME RESOURCES LIMITED (ACN 061 267 061) Explanatory Notes

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared for the information of members in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General meeting of Diatreme Resources Limited to be held at the Registered Office of the Company, Level 2, 87 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, Qld, on 29 May 2013 at 2.00 pm.

These Explanatory Notes form part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Consider the Company’s Annual Report

The Company’s Annual Report comprising the Directors’ Report and Auditors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to and forming part of the accounts for the Company and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 is placed before Shareholders for discussion. No voting is required for this item.

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

The Board has submitted its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding advisory resolution.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the 2012 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Executive Chairman/CEO, Executive Director, executives and non-executive directors. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM’s, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO as applicable) must be put up for reelection. The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2011 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2012 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2012 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at the same resolution at the following year’s Annual General Meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

Key Management Personnel (including all Directors and executives) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties are prohibited from voting on the advisory resolution.

Proxy Restriction

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of the 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 on how to vote on this resolution, proxy is prevented by the Corporation Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

Page 8 of 21

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. A vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Resolution 2: Re-Election of Mr. David Hall as a Director

Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, except the Managing Director, are required to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Additionally, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment, or three years whichever is longer. A Director who retires in accordance with these provisions is eligible for re-election.

Mr. Hall has been a director of the Company since January 2001. He retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, but being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Details of Mr Hall’s experience and qualifications are set out in the section “Directors’ Report” within the Annual Report.

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Resolution 3: Re-Election of Mr. Andrew Tsang as a Director

Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, except the Managing Director, are required to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Additionally, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment, or three years whichever is longer. A Director who retires in accordance with these provisions is eligible for re-election.

Mr. Tsang has been a director of the Company since January 2009. He retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, but being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Details of Mr. Tsang’s experience and qualifications are set out in the section “Directors’ Report” within the Annual Report.

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Resolution 4: Ratification of prior issue of shares

This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of a total of 57,600,000 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and Mr Qi Lin (who are exempt investors that are not related parties of the Company).

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 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the prior issue of 57,600,000 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and Mr Qi Lin, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The number of securities previously issued was 57,600,000 Shares;

  • (b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.025 (2.5 cents) per Share;

  • (c) The securities issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company having the same terms and rights as, and ranking equally with, the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary Shares;

  • (d) The Shares were issued to sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and

Page 9 of 21

Mr Qi Lin who are exempt investors that are not related parties of the Company;

  • (e) Funds raised by the issue of the shares were used to fund the Company’s ongoing Cyclone Zircon Project definitive feasibility study, exploration works and for working capital purposes;

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is contained in the Notice of General Meeting.

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Background to Resolutions 5 and 6

As disclosed to the ASX on 15 March 2013, the Company received signed agreements to subscribe for placements totaling 34,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares (to rank equally in all respects with existing shares) at $0.025 (2.5 cents) per share to raise gross proceeds of $850,000.

The placement applications were received by sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and Mr Qi Lin who are all existing shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the placement agreements, the issue price of the placement shares was agreed at a premium to the Company’s 30 day VWAP and share price as at 15 March 2013. Under the placement agreements the Applicants are required to lodge all subscription funds for shares by the due date of 30 April 2013. If all placement funds are not remitted by the due date, the placement price increases to A$0.03 per share and the gross proceeds of the placement will be $1,020,000.

The Company does not have the ability under its 15% placement capacity to issue the whole of the 34,000,000 Shares to the sophisticated investors and therefore proposes to make the issue of the Shares in two tranches (the subject of resolutions 5 and 6). Assuming all subscription funds are received by the due date of 30 April 2013, the Company will issue 4,797,363 of the 34,000,000 placement shares on or about 1 May 2013 under its 15% placement capacity. The remaining 29,202,637 shares will be issued subject to shareholder approval following the meeting.

Resolution 5: Ratification of prior issue of shares

This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of a total of 4,797,363 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and Mr Qi Lin (who are exempt investors that are not related parties of the Company).

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 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the prior issue of 4,797,363 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhensheng Zhuang, Mr Chenfei Zhuang and Mr Qi Lin, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The number of securities previously issued was 4,797,363 Shares;

  • (b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.025 (2.5 cents) per Share;

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.

  • (e) The securities will rank equally with the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary Shares. The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the Shares issued for quotation on ASX; and

  • (f) Funds raised by the issue of the shares will be used in the continued development of the Cyclone Zircon Project in the Eucla Basin, other projects, and for working capital.

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Resolution 7: Approval of issue of options to Executive Directors under the ESOP 2012

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company may not issue options to a Director under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution 7 is proposed to obtain approval for the allotment of options under the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) 2012 to the Company’s two Executive Directors. The Company ESOP was approved by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting on 24 May 2012. A copy of the terms and conditions of the ESOP is available from the Company, at no cost, on request.

The table below describes the maximum number and the terms upon which the options that are to be issued to each recipient for which approval is sought under Resolution 6.

Director No of Options Expiry Date Exercise Price
AnthonyFawdon 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10
David Hall 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) This Resolution seeks shareholder approval for the issue of options to the Company’s two executive directors, Mr Anthony Fawdon and Mr David Hall;

  • (b) The maximum number of options to be issued to Mr Fawdon and Mr Hall pursuant to this Resolution are 1,000,000 options each;

  • (c) The options to be issued to Mr Fawdon and Mr Hall will be issued for no consideration and will have an exercise price of $0.10 (ten cents) and will expire on 30 April 2019;

Page 11 of 21

  • (d) The terms of the options to be issued to Mr Fawdon and Hall are described in Schedule One to this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • (e) There have been no options issued to executive directors of the Company since the ESOP was approved by shareholders on 24 May 2012;

  • (f) Only Mr Fawdon and Mr Hall are entitled to participate in the ESOP pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 as they are the Company’s only executive directors;

  • (g) No loan will be provided to Mr Fawdon or Mr Hall in connection with the acquisition of the options;

  • (h) The options will be issued to Mr Fawdon and Mr Hall as soon as practicable after the Meeting, but in any event, no later than one (1) year after the date of the Meeting.

Resolutions 8 – 11: Issue of Options to Non-Executive Directors

Resolutions 8 to 11 seek shareholder approval for the issue of options to Non-Executive Directors of the Company as follows:

Director No of Options Expiry Date Exercise Price
George White 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10
Andrew Tsang 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10
William Wang 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10
Neil McIntyre 1,000,000 30 April 2019 $0.10

None of the Non-Executive Directors have received any increases to their salaries or directors fees for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012. As such, the granting of options to Non-Executive Directors (Director Options) is considered to be a cost effective mechanism to assist in the reward and retention of the non-executive directors of the Company. 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. The grant of the Director Options forms part of the Company’s long-term incentive objectives to encourage the relevant Non-Executive Directors to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership.

The options that are the subject of Resolutions 8 – 11 are expected to be issued on or about 20 June 2013, and in any case, no later than one month from the date of the meeting.

Shareholders are directed to the analysis below relating to the effect that the issue of options under resolutions 8 – 11 will have upon the directors’ individual remuneration, including a valuation of the options determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing Method.

The options will have a zero issue price and no funds will be raised from the issue of the options. Funds raised from the exercise of the options will be applied towards the working capital requirements of the Company at the time.

Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if the same issue is approved by Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 (as provided for by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14).

EFFECT OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS ON DIRECTORS REMUNERATION

The table below provides information relating to the effect that the issue of options as contemplated by Resolutions 8 – 11 will have upon the Non-Executive Directors individual remuneration, including a valuation of the options determined under the Black-Scholes option-pricing Method.

NOTE 1 Number of securities includes securities held by associates of the director.

NOTE 2 The valuation of the options to be issued to the Directors under these resolutions has been based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing Method using the following parameters:

Share Price 2.2 cents Interest Rate 3.28%
Strike Price 10 cents Volatility 103%
Time to maturity 74 months

This equates to a valuation of $0.014 per option. However, as the Options will be unlisted and they will lack negotiability to realise a value, a discount of 50% has been applied resulting in a value per Option of $0.007.

Over the 15 day ASX trading period from 19 March 2013 to 18 April 2013, and on a volume of 3,059,034 shares, the Company’s closing share price has ranged from a low of 1.2 cents to a high of 2.2 cents, averaging 1.8 cents.

ASX Listing Rules

In respect of the options proposed to be issued to Non-Executive Directors of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the Company. Resolutions 7 – 10 seek shareholder approval for the issue of options to Non-Executive Directors, who are considered related parties of the Company. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if approval is being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The maximum total number of options to be issued to Directors (or their nominees) is 4,000,000, as described in the table above;

  • (b) The options are to be issued to Non-Executive Directors for incentive and remuneration purposes;

  • (c) The options will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the general meeting (or such later date as may be permitted by an ASX waiver of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act 2001 and/or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission);

  • (d) The terms of the options to be issued to Messrs White, Tsang, Wang and McIntyre are described in Schedule One to this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • (e) The exercise price of the options will be $0.10 (ten cents) and the options will expire on 30 April 2019; and

  • (f) There will be no funds raised by the issue of the options. Any funds raised from the exercise of the options will be applied towards the Company's working capital requirements at that time.

Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

In the case of Resolutions 8 - 11, the issue of the relevant options to the Non-Executive Directors constitutes a ‘financial benefit’ as defined in the Corporations Act. The options the subject of Resolutions 8 - 11 have been valued by the Company’s internal management using a Black & Scholes option pricing model and ascribed a value (as described above).

If the options the subject of Resolutions 8 - 11 were issued, the Non-Executive Directors’ respective (direct and indirect) share and/or option holdings would be as follows:

Director Shares(i) Options
Existing(ii) Proposed to be
issued
Total
George White 216,667 516,667 1,000,000 1,516,667
Andrew Tsang 94,869,443 35,832,933 1,000,000 36,832,933
William Wang 2,577,822 804,903 1,000,000 1,804,903
Neil McIntyre - - 1,000,000 1,000,000
  • (i) Assumes that no existing options are exercised by the Directors prior to the issue of the options the subject of Resolutions 8 - 11.

(ii) Existing options relate to listed options acquired from the Company’s April 2011 Rights Issue.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • the circumstances of the company; and

  • the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Company considers the proposed issue of the options the subject of Resolutions 8 – 11 is reasonable remuneration and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the Company has considered the respective positions and responsibilities of each of the Non-Executive Directors, the Company’s reliance on a limited number of executive personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise each of the Non-Executive Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company, and the terms of the options. The Board believes that options are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company and its group entities whilst providing valuable remuneration. In addition and as described above, none of the Non-Executive Directors have received any increases to their salaries or directors fees for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012.

Resolution 12: Approval of additional 10% placement facility

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Facility ). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, as at the time of the entity’s annual general meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting.

Page 14 of 21

Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Annual General Meeting. The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.

Resolution 12 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).

The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

Regulatory Requirements

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

  • a) Minimum Issue Price

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or

  • the date on which the price of Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.

  • b) Dilution

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 473,582,422 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 12, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 47,358,242 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.

The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • 1) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • 2) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; 3) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

  • 4) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

Page 15 of 21

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

If Resolution 12 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised) to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Equity Securities under such issues. There is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The below table also shows:

  • two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of fully paid ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of fully paid ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.

  • No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

Page 16 of 21

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The market price is 1.4 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 April 2013.

c) Issue Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 12, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(the Additional 10% Placement Period ).

The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility during the Additional 10% Placement Period. Accordingly, the approval given if this Resolution is passed will cease to be valid on the earlier of 29 May 2014 or the date on which holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

d) Purpose of Issues

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued and increased production, exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A.

  • e) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting but may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders, who are not Related Parties or associates of a Related Party of the Company.

Page 17 of 21

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • f) Previous issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and accordingly has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 8 by any person who may participate in the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility and any person who might obtain a benefit (except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities) if the Resolution is passed, and any person associated with those persons. However, the Company will not disregard any votes cast on Resolution 12 by such person if:

  • a) the person is acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • b) the person is the chairman of the Annual General Meeting acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

At the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, the proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified.

In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded.

Recommendation

The Directors believe that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 12.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

To appoint a second proxy you must:
