GENERAL NOTES

1. With respect to Agenda Item 2, the vote on this item is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

2. Voting by Proxy : Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 July 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

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

• if a poll is demanded for a particular resolution, any directed proxies which are not voted (where the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting) will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

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 (i.e. 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 (i.e. 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 (i.e. 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

• either of the following applies:

• the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

• 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.

3. The Explanatory Statement to Shareholders attached to this Notice of Annual General Meeting is hereby incorporated into and forms part of this Notice of General Meeting.

4. The Directors have determined in accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations that, for the purposes of voting at the meeting, shares will be taken to be held by the registered holders at 5.00pm (WST) on 25 November 2015.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The purpose of the Explanatory Statement is to provide shareholders with information concerning all of the Agenda Items in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Statement. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Statement.

1. Discussion of Financial Statements & Reports

The Company’s financial reports for the financial year ended 30 June 2015, together with the Directors’ reports and the auditor’s report are placed before the Annual General Meeting thereby giving shareholders the opportunity to discuss those documents and to ask questions. The auditor will be attending the Annual General Meeting and will be available to answer any questions relevant to:

• the conduct of the audit;

• the preparation and content of the independent audit report;

• the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and

• the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

2. Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Annual Report (together with the Remuneration Report) is available on the Company’s website (www.enrl.com.au).

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to Agenda Item 2 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's next Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's Directors' report was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

The proportion of votes cast against the adoption of the 2014 Remuneration Report was less than 25% of the total votes cast. Accordingly the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to the Directors and sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for each of the Directors and senior management of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2015.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board considers that its current practices of setting executive and non-executive remuneration are within normal industry expectations, and provides an effective balance between the need to attract and retain the services of the highly skilled key management personnel that the Company requires. As such the directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to Agenda Item 2.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

2. Adoption of Remuneration Report (Continued)

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Agenda Item 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

By appointing the Chair as proxy, and not providing voting directions, you are considered to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy, even though the resolution may be connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair will use any such proxies to vote in favour of the Resolution.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the proxy form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

3. Re-Election of Director – Dr Jon Hronsky ( BAppSci, PhD, MAusIMM, FSEG)

as an Ordinary Resolution

Jon has more than 25 years of experience in the mineral exploration industry, primarily focused on project generation, technical innovation and exploration strategy development. Jon has worked across a diverse range of commodities and has particular expertise in targeting for nickel sulfide and gold deposits. His targeting work led to the discovery of the West Musgrave nickel sulfide province in Western Australia. Jon is currently Chairman of the Board of the Center for Exploration Targeting in Western Australia and was the 2009 Society of Economic Geology Distinguished Lecturer. Jon is one of the Principals at geological consultancy Western Mining Services (Aust) Pty Ltd. Prior to joining WMS, Jon was Manager-Strategy & Generative Services for BHP Billiton Mineral Exploration and before that, Global Geoscience Leader for WMC Resources Ltd. Dr Hronsky is currently a non-executive director of Cassini Resources Limited.

Dr Hronsky was appointed as Director on 10 May 2007.

4. Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

as a Special Resolution

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if: (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and (b) the entity that is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index. The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company is putting Agenda Item 4 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

This Resolution does not mean that the Company will necessarily utilise the 10% Additional Placement Capacity. Rather, capital markets have recently been in a state of fluctuation and the Directors acknowledge that they may need to act quickly to raise funds when favourable markets emerge. The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. Under these circumstances, the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will provide flexibility for the Company to issue additional securities, in the event that the Directors determine that the issue of the additional securities is in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company in achieving its objectives.

ENCOUNTER RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 47 109 815 796

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity (Continued)

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Agenda Item 4 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has quoted securities in the form of Shares on issue.

Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company has 145,426,208 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Agenda Item 4, 14,542,620 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table on the page below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

The resolution the subject of Agenda Item 4 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

• (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

• (b) If the resolution the subject of Agenda Item 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:

• (i) 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 Meeting; and

• (ii) 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 of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.

The table shows:

• (i) examples of where variable “A” is at its current level, and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and by 100%;

• (ii) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 16 October 2015 (current market price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and

• (iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The issue of Consideration Shares, Placement Shares and Options (together the “Securities”) were completed pursuant to the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Agenda Item 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Securities ( Ratification ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. Adoption of the Encounter Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan as an Ordinary Resolution

Agenda Item 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of an Employee Share Option Plan (Plan) in accordance with Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

The Directors adopted the Encounter Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( Plan ) on 27 September 2012 and was last approved by Shareholders on 30 November 2012.

The Plan is designed to provide incentives to the employees and Directors of the Company and to recognise their contribution to the Company's success. Under the Company's current circumstances the Directors consider that the incentives to employees and Directors are a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure employees and Directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The Plan is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

The Plan incorporates the facility for Participants to undertake a ‘cash less exercise’, whereby, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price to purchase the Shares, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a Participant to elect to receive a reduced number of Shares, in lieu of payment of cash or other consideration.

The number of Shares received will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

==> picture [75 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

where:

A = the number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be issued to the Participant;

B = the number of Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option or portion of the Option being exercised;

C = the Market Value of one Share determined as of the date of delivery to the Company Secretary; and

D = the exercise price.

For example, if a Participant holds 50 Options (which have vested and are therefore capable of exercise), each with an exercise price of $1.00 and they elect to exercise all of their Options by paying the exercise price, they would pay $50 and receive 50 Shares. However, if the Participant elects their rights under the cashless exercise facility, and the Market Value of one Share prior to exercise is $1.50, the Participant will pay no cash and receive 16 Shares (being 50($1.50 - $1.00)/$1.50 = 16.67, rounded down to 16 Shares.

Shareholder approval is required if any issue of Options pursuant to the Plan is to fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by the holders of ordinary securities within three years of the date of issue.

Prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible employees of the Company, the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Options in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan. Options granted under the Plan will be offered to participants in the Plan on the basis of the Board’s view of the contribution of the eligible person to the Company.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b), the following information is provided:

• (b) as at the date of this Notice a total of 6,220,000 Options have been issued to employees pursuant to the terms of approved employee incentive plans, 800,000 of these Options have been issued since the last Shareholder approval on 28 November 2014;

• (c) as at the date of this Notice a total of 1,625,000 Options have been cancelled on expiry in respect of Options issued under approved employee incentive plans, 275,000 of these options have been cancelled since the last Shareholder approval on 28 November 2014;

• (d) as at the date of this Notice a total of 1,475,000 Shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of Options issued under approved employee incentive plans, none of these Shares have been issued since the last Shareholder approval on 28 November 2014; and

• (e) A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Agenda Item 6.

If Agenda Item 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Plan without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 3 year period.

Upon the giving of any such notice the Optionholder shall be entitled to exercise, at any time within the 14-day period following the giving of such notice, all or a portion of those options granted to the Optionholder which are then vested and exercisable in accordance with their terms, as well as any unvested Options which shall become vested and exercisable in connection with the completion of such Change of Control Event.

• 4.3 If the Company makes a pro rata issue of securities (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares the Exercise Price shall be reduced according to the formula specified in the Listing Rules.

• 4.4 If, prior to the expiry of any options, there is a reorganisation (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, then the rights of a Participant (including the number of options to which each Optionholder is entitled and the Exercise Price) will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
