2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

3. Voting by proxy

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in

6

accordance with the instructions provided. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;

  • the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and

  • a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

7

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

The Company must receive your duly completed Proxy Form by no later than 10:00am (WST) on 7 September 2014.

4. Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of Placement Shares

On 4 July 2014, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 23,081,916 Shares to sophisticated investors to the Company ( Placement ).

On 14 July 2014, the issue of 23,081,916 Shares under the Placement was completed as follows:

  • 13,849,150 Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 9,232,766 Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, being the ‘additional placement capacity’ facility approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting for the year ended 30 June 2013 ( 2013 AGM ),

(together the Placement Shares ).

As set out in the Appendix 3B dated 14 July 2014, the Company’s remaining issue capacity is as set out below:

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1 – Nil; and

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1A – Nil.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 23,081,916 Placement Shares.

Purpose of Resolution 1 and Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities equating to more than 15% of its ordinary securities in a 12 month period without shareholder approval ( 15% Limit ), unless an exception applies.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without shareholder approval is deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 provided that the issue did not breach the 15% Limit and the Company at a general meeting subsequently approves the issue.

At the 2013 AGM, the Company obtained Shareholder approval to issue up to 10% of its ordinary securities in addition to the 15% Limit available under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Additional Placement Capacity ). Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company

8

to seek subsequent ratification for any Shares issued under the Additional Placement Capacity facility. The effect of this Resolution allows the Company to issue a further 10% of its ordinary securities under the Additional Placement Capacity facility until the facility expires on 25 November 2014, being 12 months from the date the facility was approved by the Shareholders at the 2013 AGM.

Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Placement Shares is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue:

  • a) up to 15% of its ordinary securities, if required, in the next 12 months, without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • b) up to a further 10% of its ordinary securities, if required between now and 25 November 2014 (being the facility expiry date), without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Notice requirements under Listing Rule 7.5

It is a requirement of Listing Rule 7.5, that a listed entity seeking subsequent Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 provide the following information to Shareholders:

  • a) the total number of securities issued was 23,081,916 Placement Shares;

  • b) the issue price per Placement Share was $0.135;

  • c) the terms and conditions of the Placement Shares issued are identical to the Company's existing fully paid ordinary shares;

  • d) the Placement Shares were issued to clients of Taylor Collison who are sophisticated investors of the Company. None of these subscribers were or are related parties of the Company;

  • e) funds raised from the Placement are being used to advance the Company’s Epanko deposit at the Mahenge project in Tanzania. The expenditure will comprise a diamond drilling programme, metallurgical and pilot plant testwork, feasibility studies and application for a mining licence.

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to Resolution 1

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Approval of Employee Share Plan

A new employee incentive scheme entitled Employee Share Plan, forming part of the Company’s employee remuneration and incentive program has been adopted by the Board ( Employee Plan ).

The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company’s Executive Director and other personnel in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with Shareholder interests, whilst at the same time offering eligible participants market competitive remuneration arrangements. At the same time, the Company desires to maintain the maximum ability to raise capital in

9

accordance with the Listing Rules without seeking Shareholder approval. Accordingly the Board seeks Shareholder approval for adoption of the Employee Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

A summary of the Employee Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Employee Plan in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

Listing Rules

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4 above.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) provides that an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme does not detract from the available 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue of securities is made under an employee incentive scheme and that employee incentive scheme was approved by shareholders no more than three years before the date of issue of the securities. The Employee Plan is regarded as an employee incentive scheme for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b).

The Company intends that the issue of fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the Employee Plan ( Employee Shares ) not be deducted from its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, it is seeking Shareholder approval in order for the Company to be able to issue Employee Shares pursuant to the Employee Plan and have those Shares qualify under exception 9(b) to Listing Rule 7.2.

Information required for Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b)

No Employee Shares have been issued under the Employee Plan and the Company has not previously sought Shareholders’ approval of the Employee Plan. However, subject to the passing of Resolution 3, a total of 2,000,000 Employee Shares will be issued to Mr Andrew Spinks or his nominee under the Employee Plan.

In addition, the Company proposes issuing, after the Meeting, up to 1,500,000 Employee Shares to Mr Robert Hodby, the Company’s Company Secretary (or his nominee), under the Employee Plan on the same terms and conditions as the proposed issue of Employee Shares under Resolution 3.

A summary of the Employee Share Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

The Employee Shares will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary Shares on issue in the capital of the Company. Holders of Employee Shares issued under the Employee Plan will be entitled to exercise all voting rights attaching to the Employee Shares in accordance with the Company's Constitution. In addition, holders of Employee Shares issued under the Employee Plan will be entitled to participate in dividends declared and paid by the Company in accordance with the Company's Constitution.

Where the holder has been granted a limited recourse loan by the Company to acquire the Employee Shares, the Employee Shares may only be sold by the volition of the holder once the loan has been repaid in full (otherwise any dealing by the holder in the Employee Shares is prohibited without the prior written consent of the Company).

10

If the loan becomes due and payable under a limited recourse loan agreement and the holder has not repaid the amount of the loan in full within 21 days of the due date, then the holder will forfeit their interest in the Employee Shares as full consideration for the repayment of the outstanding loan balance, and the Company will sell the Employee Shares and use the proceeds to repay the moneys owing to the Company.

Copies of the Employee Plan are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office and will be provided without charge to Shareholders on request.

Exemption for security over shares - section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act

To the extent the Company loans funds to a participant in the Employee Plan to pay the issue price of the Employee Shares, the Employee Shares will comprise security for repayment of the loan.

Under the terms of the Employee Plan, the Company will have a lien over any Employee Shares in respect of which a loan amount is outstanding and will be entitled to sell those Employee Shares in accordance with the terms of the Employee Plan, in order to recover any amounts owed under a loan.

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security over its own shares, except as permitted by section 259B(2) or (3). Section 259B(2) states that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company. Accordingly, the Board is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 259B(2) in Resolution 2 (applying also to Resolution 3).

Financial Assistance - Part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act

The provision of a loan to Eligible Employees (as defined in Schedule 1) to fund the acquisition of Employee Shares issued under the terms of the Employee Plan will constitute ‘financial assistance’ for the purposes of Part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act.

Section 260A of the Corporations Act states that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company only if:

  • a) giving the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders or the company's ability to pay its creditors;

  • b) the assistance is approved by the shareholders under section 260B; or

  • c) the assistance is exempt under section 260C.

Section 260C(4) provides that financial assistance is exempt from section 260A if it is given under an ‘employee share scheme’ that has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company. The Employee Plan falls within the definition of an ‘employee share scheme’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Board is seeking Shareholder approval of the Employee Plan under section 260C(4) as an exemption from section 260A of the Corporations Act in Resolution 2 (applying also to Resolution 3).

11

Recommendation

The Directors, other than Andrew Spinks who is prohibited from giving a recommendation in respect of Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest derived from Resolution 3 being conditional on passing Resolution 2, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Issue of Employee Shares to Andrew Spinks

Background

Andrew Spinks is the Company’s Executive Director. The Board has decided to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Employee Shares to Mr Spinks in recognition for his performance with the Company and as Director incentive remuneration.

Application of ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 effectively provides that an entity must not permit a Director of the Company (or their associate) to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without approval of the holders of ordinary securities.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Employee Shares pursuant to Resolution 3, as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Notwithstanding that exception, approval is also being sought for the Employee Plan for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b) pursuant to Resolution 2.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 Requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • a) the Company proposes to issue Employee Shares to Mr Spinks or his nominee under the Employee Plan;

  • b) the maximum number of securities to be issued to Mr Spinks (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 3 is 2,000,000 Employee Shares;

  • c) Mr Spinks will not be permitted to deal in the Employee Shares until the later of:

  • i) the date that he repays the loan granted to him by the Company for his purchase of the Employee Shares; and

  • ii) the date which is 6 months after the issue of the Employee Shares, provided that Mr Spinks remains a Director of the Company during that time.

  • d) the Company proposes to issue the Employee Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 as soon as reasonably practicable after Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders, but in any case by no later than 12 months after the date of passage of Resolution 3;

12

  • e) Mr Spinks is a Director of the Company;

  • f) The Employee Shares will be issued at an issue price per Share equal to the VWAP of Shares over the last five (5) trading days on which sales were recorded up to and including the date of acceptance of the Employee Shares offered;

  • g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting;

  • h) no funds will be received by the Company immediately upon the issue of the Employee Shares as Mr Spinks will receive a loan from the Company for the amount of the issue price of the Employee Shares. Such loan will be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Employee Plan (and the loan repayment date for that purpose is 5 years after the date of issue of the Employee Shares pursuant to Resolution 3);

  • i) the material terms of the Employee Shares, the loan and the Employee Plan are set out in Schedule 1; and

  • j) the only person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in the Employee Plan is Mr Andrew Spinks (and his nominee) and the Employee Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

Financial Assistance - Part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act

The Board (excluding Andrew Spinks) has resolved to provide financial assistance to Andrew Spinks pursuant to the Employee Plan, such financial assistance to take the form of a limited recourse loan to enable Mr Spinks to acquire Employee Shares under the Employee Plan (subject to Shareholders’ approval). Notwithstanding the approval being sought pursuant to section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act under Resolution 2, the Board has also resolved that the giving of this assistance pursuant to Resolution 3 does not materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its Shareholders, or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The reasons for the Directors’ (excluding Mr Spinks) conclusions concerning the giving of financial assistance in respect of the Employee Plan are that they consider:

  • a) giving the assistance is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders, because it increases the alignment of the interests of Mr Spinks and Shareholders and rewards Mr Spinks for the creation of Shareholder wealth, and, therefore creates incentives for Mr Spinks to strive to ensure that the Company performs for the benefit of all its Shareholders;

  • b) the terms and conditions do not materially prejudice the interests of the Company and its Shareholders or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors because the costs of providing the financial assistance are relatively small and are outweighed by the benefit of alignment of interest that is achieved under the Employee Plan;

13

  • c) the restriction condition of the Employee Shares is intended to encourage Mr Spinks to remain a Director of the Company to achieve beneficial outcomes for Shareholders; and

  • d) in the opinion of the Directors, the provision of financial assistance under schemes of this kind is consistent with market practice in the area of executive incentive schemes currently operated in Australia.

Chapter 2E Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of Employee Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Andrew Spinks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the financial benefit covered by this Resolution 3 as the Board (other than Andrew Spinks who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) resolved that the financial benefit to be provided to Andrew Spinks (or his nominee) under the Employee Plan comes within the reasonable remuneration exemption to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Recommendation

The Directors, other than Andrew Spinks, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Issue of Park Shares to John Park

Background

John Park is a non-executive Director of the Company. The Board has decided to seek shareholder approval for the issue of Shares under the Park Plan ( Park Shares ) to Mr Park in recognition for his performance with the Company and as Director incentive remuneration.

Application of ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 effectively provides that an entity must not permit a Director of the Company (or their associate) to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without approval of the holders of ordinary securities.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Park Shares pursuant to Resolution 4, as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

14

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 Requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • a) the Company proposes to issue Park Shares to Mr Park or his nominee under the Park Plan;

  • b) the maximum number of securities to be issued to Mr Park (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4 is 300,000 Park Shares;

  • c) Mr Park will not be permitted to deal in the Park Shares until the later of:

  • i) the date that he repays the loan granted to him by the Company for his purchase of the Park Shares; and

  • ii) the date which is 6 months after the issue of the Park Shares, provided that Mr Park remains a Director of the Company during that time.

  • d) the Company proposes to issue the Park Shares pursuant to Resolution 4 as soon as reasonably practicable after Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, but in any case by no later than 12 months after the date of passage of Resolution 4;

  • e) Mr Park is a non-executive Director of the Company;

  • f) The Park Shares will be issued at an issue price per Park Share equal to the VWAP of the Shares over the last five (5) trading days on which sales were recorded up to and including the date of acceptance of the Park Shares offered;

  • g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting;

  • h) no funds will be received by the Company immediately upon the issue of the Park Shares as Mr Park will receive a loan from the Company for the amount of the issue price of the Park Shares. Such loan will be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Park Plan (and the loan repayment date for that purpose is 5 years after the date of issue of the Park Shares pursuant to Resolution 4);

  • i) the material terms of the Park Shares, the loan and the Park Plan are set out in Schedule 2; and

  • j) Mr John Park and his nominee are the only persons entitled to participate in the Park Plan and the Park Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

Financial Assistance - Part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act

The Board (excluding John Park) has resolved to provide financial assistance to John Park pursuant to the Park Plan, such financial assistance to take the form of a limited recourse loan to enable Mr Park to acquire Park Shares under the Park Plan (subject to Shareholders’ approval). The Board resolved that the giving of

15

this assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its Shareholders, or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The reasons for the Directors’ (excluding Mr Park) conclusions concerning the giving of financial assistance in respect of the Park Plan are that they consider:

  • a) giving the assistance is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders, because it increases the alignment of the interests of Mr Park and Shareholders and rewards Mr Park for the creation of Shareholder wealth, and, therefore creates incentives for Mr Park to strive to ensure that the Company performs for the benefit of all its Shareholders;

  • b) the terms and conditions do not materially prejudice the interests of the Company and its Shareholders or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors because the costs of providing the financial assistance are relatively small and are outweighed by the benefit of alignment of interest that is achieved under the Park Plan;

  • c) the restriction condition of the Park Shares is intended to encourage Mr Park to remain a Director of the Company to achieve beneficial outcomes for Shareholders; and

  • d) in the opinion of the Directors, the provision of financial assistance under schemes of this kind is consistent with market practice in the area of executive incentive schemes currently operated in Australia.

No security in respect of Park Shares

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security over its own shares, except as permitted by section 259B(2). Section 259B(2) states that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

However, as a non-executive Director (being Mr Park) is permitted to take up Park Shares under the Park Plan, this exception does not apply. As such, the Company will not hold security over the Park Shares issued to Mr Park. Instead, Mr Park will be contractually obliged to sell the Park Shares and remit the proceeds to the Company in the event that he does not repay the loan granted to him under the Park Plan.

Chapter 2E Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

16

The grant of Park Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and John Park is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for the financial benefit covered by this Resolution 4 as the Board (other than John Park who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) has resolved that the financial benefit to be provided to John Park (or his nominee) under the Park Plan comes within the reasonable remuneration exemption to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Recommendation

The Directors, other than John Park, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
