EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the shareholders of Montezuma Mining Company Limited ABN 46 119 711 929 (“ Company ”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Directors recommend that shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Resolution 3 - Approval of Grant of Options to Mr Justin Brown

The Company proposes to grant a total of 500,000 Options to Mr Justin Brown, or his nominee, for nil consideration, as follows:

Number of
options
Exercise price Expiry date Vesting
500,000 $0.20 30 November
2012
Immediately following shareholder
approval

The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Although there is generally an improved outlook for the resources sector Montezuma continues to maintain a very stringent review of overheads and particularly the cash component of employment costs. However, there is a clear recognition that attracting and retaining personal who will contribute to the future of Montezuma requires appropriate incentive. The grant of the Options has been implemented to incentivise Mr Brown, as a reward for cash remuneration forgone and to align his interests with those of shareholders. Under the Company's current circumstances the Director’s consider that the incentives represented by the grant of the Options are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive.

In the event all the Options are exercised, Mr Brown (or his nominee) will need to pay a total of $100,000 to the Company.

Related Party Transactions Generally

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

  1. the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

  2. prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Directors and persons who were a related party in the previous six months, are considered to be a related party of the Company.

Resolution 3 provides for the grant of Options to a related party which is a financial benefit which requires shareholder approval. For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.

MONTEZUMA MINING COMPANY LTD Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2009

_____________

The related party to whom the proposed resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given

Subject to shareholder approval, the Options the subject of Resolution 3 will be granted to Mr Justin Brown or his nominee within one month of the passing of this Resolution.

Mr Brown is a Director of the Company and is therefore classified as a related party.

The nature of the financial benefit

The proposed financial benefit is the grant to Mr Brown or his nominee, for no issue price, that number of options shown beside his name in the table below. Each option will allow Mr Brown to subscribe for one ordinary fully paid share in the Company. The exercise price of each option is also detailed in Table 1. The options form part of Mr Brown’s incentive for continuing and future efforts.

Directors' recommendation

Mr O’Meara and Mr Cornelius recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Mr Brown does not wish to make a recommendation about the proposed Resolution 3. As he may potentially receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of the options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.

Interests of director

Mr Brown has noted his respective interest in the approval of Resolution 3 in relation to the options.

Any other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its officers.

  • (a) The proposed Resolution would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant 500,000 options to Mr Brown or his nominee;

  • (b) The exercise of the Options is subject to the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum and as otherwise mentioned above;

  • (c) The Directors, in conjunction with the Company's advisers have provided an indicative value to the options by reference to the Black-Scholes valuation method, based upon the assumptions outlined in Table 3. The valuation cannot be finalised until the issue date of the options;

  • (d) The total value of the options to be issued is outlined in Table 1. If Options granted to Mr Brown or his nominee are exercised, the effect would be to dilute the shareholdings of the existing shareholders;

  • (e) As at the date of this Notice, the issued capital of the Company comprised 41,926,903 Shares. If all Options granted as proposed above are exercised, and assuming all existing Options on issue have been exercised, and assuming other share issues proceed, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders as per the table below:

Resolution 4 proposes the issue of up to 500,000 Options by the Company to parties who are not related parties of the Company and is placed before Shareholders to allow the Options to be excluded from the calculation set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.3 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

Resolution 5 – Authority to Issue and Allot Options to Pacifique Asset Management

Resolution 5 proposes the issue of up to 1,000,000 Options by the Company to parties who are not related parties of the Company and is placed before Shareholders to allow the Options to be excluded from the calculation set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.3 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued pursuant to Resolution 5 is 1,000,000 Options, exercise price 20 cents, expiring 31 August 2011;

  • (b) the options are to be issued for nil consideration;

  • (c) it is anticipated that the Options will be issued progressively and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting, or such later date as approved by ASX by way of ASX granting a waiver from the listing rules;

  • (d) the Options are to be issued to Pacifique Asset Management;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the options are set out in Annexure B of this Notice;

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 as it will provide the Company with further flexibility should any security issue be considered desirable in the next 12 months.

Resolution 6 - Share Placement Facility

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of shareholders for a share placement facility of up to 40,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares, which the directors may utilise to raise additional working capital for the Company.

As at the date of this notice of meeting there has been no decision by the directors whether to issue these shares. The directors believe that it is prudent for the Company to have a share placement facility available so that additional equity funds can be raised if considered necessary. If not utilised, the facility would lapse 3 months after the date of the meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing shares representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, without the prior approval of its shareholders (subject to certain exceptions). Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 40,000,000 shares in the Company. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • a) the maximum number of securities that may be issued under Resolution 6 is 40,000,000 fully paid shares;

  • b) any shares issued in accordance with Resolution 3 will be issued and allotted within 3 months from the date of the annual general meeting (or such later date as approved by ASX);

  • c) the shares will be issued at a price which is not less than 80% of the average market price of the Company’s shares, calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Company’s shares were recorded on ASX before the day on which the issue is made;

  • 10 -

MONTEZUMA MINING COMPANY LTD Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2009

_____________

  • d) as at the date of this notice of meeting there has been no decision by the directors to issue any shares. Accordingly, the names of any allottees or proposed allottees are not known;

  • e) any shares issued pursuant to Resolution 6 will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary fully paid shares on issue in the Company;

  • f) funds raised by the issue of any shares will be used as additional working capital for the Company to continue to advance its 100% owned Peak Hill Gold Project; and

  • g) as noted above, as at the date of this notice of meeting no decision has been made by the directors on whether to utilise the share placement facility and accordingly, it is not known whether any allotments will occur as a single allotment or will occur progressively. However, it would be likely that any issue of shares will be made as a single allotment.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 as it will provide the Company with further flexibility should any funding be considered desirable in the next 3 months.

Resolution 7 - Ratification of Issue and Allotment of Shares

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of shares made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such a ratification is to restore a company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the company without requiring shareholder approval.

Resolution 7 is required to be approved in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify previous issues of Shares. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares the subject of Resolution 7 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

  • (a) 233,333 Shares were issued by the Company;

  • (b) the Shares were issued as consideration for research service fees;

  • (c) the deemed issue price per Share was 15 cents;

  • (d) the Shares were allotted to Wise-owl.com Pty Ltd;

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue of Shares;

  • (f) the Shares rank equally with existing ordinary fully paid shares on issue in the Company; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 as it will provide the Company with further flexibility should any share issue be considered desirable in the next 12 months.
