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 Wednesday 28 May 2014 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 2013 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 nonbinding advisory resolution.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the 2013 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 AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs 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 2012 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 2013 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2013 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.

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: Election of Mr Yufeng Zhuang as a Director

Mr Zhuang was appointed as a director of the Company on 1 August 2013 and in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, Mr Zhuang will retire at the Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for election.

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.

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 22,000,000 Shares to sophisticated investor Mr Guosheng Chen (who is an exempt investor and is not a related party 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 22,000,000 Shares to Mr Guosheng Chen, 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:

  • (b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.02 (2.0 cents) per Share;

Page 6 of 12

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

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Resolution 6:

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 54,137,363 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhenbin Jian and Mr Guosheng Chen (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. Of a total of 60,000,000 shares which were placed to Mr Zhenbin Jian and Mr Guosheng Chen, 54,137,363 were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 5,862,637 were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 54,137,363 Shares to sophisticated investors Mr Zhenbin Jian and Mr Guosheng Chen, 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 54,137,363 Shares;

  • (b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.02 (2.0 cents) per Share;

  • (e) Funds raised by the issue of the shares were used for the advancement of feasibility studies over the Cyclone Zircon Project;

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

The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.

Resolution 7: 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.

Resolution 7 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 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.

Resolution 7 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.

Page 7 of 12

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 two classes of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares and Options.

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 621,754,707 Shares and on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 62,175,470 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%

  • 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 7 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.

  • 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 1.2 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 April 2014.

c) Issue Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, 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 28 May 2015 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.

Page 9 of 12

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.

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.

Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 7 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 7 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 7.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS PROXY FORM

Your Name and Address

This is your name and address as it appears on the company’s security register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Securityholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your securities using this form.

Appointment of a Proxy

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person in Step 1. If you appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you will also be appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as your alternate proxy to act as your proxy in the event the named proxy does not attend the meeting.

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 securities 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 securities 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.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the company’s security registry or you may copy this form and return them both together. The appointment of the Chairman of the Meeting as your alternate proxy also applies to the appointment of the second proxy.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

  • (b) return both forms together.

Signing Instructions

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, either securityholder may sign.

If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 ) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
