This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of members of Eclipse Uranium Ltd in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at NKH, Level 2, Spectrum, 100 Railway Road, Subiaco Western Australia on Friday, 23 December 2011 at 10.00am AWST.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
RESOLUTION 1: APPROVAL OF ACQUISITION OF CENTRAL ENERGY PTY LTD
The Company has entered into a Sale Agreement to acquire all of the shares and options on issue in Central Energy.
The acquisition of Central Energy is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company.
In consideration for this acquisition, the Company will issue 35,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to the shareholders of Central Energy for their shares in Central Energy. The issue of these shares is subject to approval of Resolution 2.
There is no consideration to be paid to the optionholders of Central Energy to acquire their Central Energy options.
Central Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary Whitvista Pty Ltd is the holder of 5 exploration licenses and 22 exploration applications in the Northern Territory which comprise a total area of approximately 17,428 km[2] .
The Company commissioned Boonjarding Resources Ltd to provide an Independent Technical Valuation Report on the mineral assets of Central Energy. BRL determined the value of the granted tenements to be $2.8 million.
The Central Energy tenements are located in four project areas in the Pine Creek, West Arnhem, Tanami and Yuendumu regions in the Northern Territory. The location of these projects compliments the Company’s existing tenement holding which includes projects in the Pine Creek, West Arnhem, Ngalia, Canning Basin and Lake Mackay regions.
The Central Energy tenements are summarised below:
Pine Creek Project
-
5 exploration licences covering over 1120 km[2] .
-
3 exploration licence applications covering 1826.6 km[2] .
-
Located within the Pine Creek Orogen Region which is highly prospective for unconformity related uranium mineralisation.
-
The Rum Jungle area is prospective for polymetallic mineralisation including base and precious metals.
West Arnhem Project
-
5 exploration licence applications covering 3527.4 km[2] .
-
Located in the north-eastern end of the Pine Creek Geosyncline the area is prospective for unconformity style uranium mineralisation similar to Jabiluka.
Page 4
Yuendumu Project
-
7 exploration licence applications covering 6059.5 km[2] .
-
An under explored area of Australia which contains several uranium deposits including Bigrlyi (Energy Metals Limited, ASX:EME) with a resource of 22.7Mlb U3O8 at a 500ppm U3O8 cut-off grade..
Tanami Project
-
7 exploration licence applications covering 4894.0 km[2] .
-
Area is considered prospective for gold, base metal and uranium mineralisation.
The acquisition of Central Energy will add significantly to the Company’s tenement portfolio. While the Company’s main exploration focus will remain uranium, there is potential for other metals such as rare earths and precious and base metals within the Central Energy tenements.
