EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. Amongst other things, this Explanatory Statement provides Shareholders with the information required to be provided to Shareholders by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

The Explanatory Statement sets out an explanation of each of the resolutions to be put to Shareholders.

General Business

Receiving Financial Statements & Reports

The Corporations Act requires that Shareholders view the Annual Company and consolidated financial statements and reports of the Directors and the Auditor each and every year.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions of the Directors and the Auditors in relation to the Annual Company and consolidated financial statements and reports of the Directors and the Auditor that have been provided to Shareholders with this Notice and Explanatory Statement.

Ordinary Business

RESOLUTION 1

Adoption of Remuneration Report.

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at this 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 an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of the directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution )

If more than 50% of the Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary 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 2014 Directors Report was approved, other than a 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 Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2014.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of 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 whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2

Re- election of Mr R Richardson as a Director.

The Company’s Constitution requires that one third of all Directors be re-elected each year and that re-election be put to Shareholders for approval.

RESOLUTION 3

Re- election of Mr P Walker as a Director.

The Company’s Constitution requires that one third of all Directors be re-elected each year and that re-election be put to shareholders for approval.

RESOLUTION 4

Issue of Shares to Related Parties.

Background

During 2014 a shortage of Company funds did not allow payment of Directors fees and other fees to all of the Directors and it is now proposed to issue Shares for the payment of 50% of those debts owing to Directors at .7 of 1 cent which was equal to the price and on the same terms as the last capital raising undertaken by the Company in January 2015.

The relevant debts to each Director are as follows:

Mr R Richardson $78,314
Mr G Eupene $58,990
Mr P Walker $38,325
Mr Sia Hok Kiang $56,000
Mr M Smartt $86,505
Proposed issue of Shares:
Mr R Richardson 5,500,000
Mr G Eupene 4,000,000
Mr P Walker 2,500,000
Mr Sia Hok Kiang 4,000,000
Mr M Smartt 6,000,000
Remaining debt after the issue of Shares: Remaining debt after the issue of Shares:
Mr R Richardson $39,814
Mr G Eupene $30,990
Mr P Walker $20,825
Mr Sia Hok Kiang $28,000
Mr M Smartt $44,505

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires an entity to obtain the approval of Shareholders in order to issue equity securities to a related party. The Directors are related parties of the Company. Further ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) states that approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue of the Shares pursuant to this Resolution 4 will not affect the capacity of the Company to issue securities in the next 12 months under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as those securities (once issued) will be excluded from calculations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares pursuant to Resolution 4:

  • a) The Shares are to be issued to Mr. R Richardson, Mr. G Eupene, Mr. P Walker, Mr. Sia Hok Kiang and Mr. M Smartt;

  • b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is 22,000,000;

  • c) The Shares will be issued within 10 business days of Shareholder approval; d) All of the proposed recipients are Directors;

  • e) These Shares will be issued at .7 of 1 cents, the price of the last capital raising undertaken by the Company and the price at the time the Directors resolution on 19 January 2015;

  • f) A voting exclusion statement is provided in the Notice; and

  • g) No funds will be raised by the issuance of the Shares. The issuance is made to extinguish 50% of the debts owing to the Directors.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. The issue of Shares to the Directors as proposed above constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes, as an example of financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. A ‘related party’ is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of a company.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either: (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception to the provision; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

It is the view of the Board that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Shares to the Directors as proposed above, as the proposed issue of the Shares falls within the exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not needed to give a financial benefit on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length or are on terms less favourable to the related party than would be given if the parties were dealing at arm’s length. In forming this view the Board notes that terms of the issue of Shares to the Directors were negotiated on an arm’s length basis and are reasonable in the circumstances. The Directors are to be issued the Shares at the same price and on the same terms as the last capital raising undertaken by the Company in January 2015 and at the time the Board resolved to request shareholder approval to issue shares to Directors for part of their debt.

RESOLUTION 5

Issue of Shares.

Background

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue up to 100,000,000 Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period if allowed by ASX). Up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares will be issued at an issue price being the lesser of 2 cents or 80 % of the weighted average price (“WAP”) for the preceding 5 days trading on ASX, or at an agreed price being no lower than the 80% of the 5 day WAP.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of Shares is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 months period any equity securities, or other securities with rights of 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.

The Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolution 5 will not be included in the Company’s 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue pursuant to Resolution 5:

  • a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 5 is 100,000,000; b) The Shares will be issued within 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • c) The issue price of the Shares will be the lesser of 2 cents or 80 % of the weighted average price (“WAP”) for the preceding 5 days trading on ASX, or at an agreed price bring no lower than the 80% of the 5 day WAP;

  • d) The shares will be issued to sophisticated investors (in accordance with sections 708(8) and (10) of the Corporations Act), professional investors (in accordance with section 708(11) of the Corporations Act), other institutional and accredited investors to whom no disclosure is required under the Corporations Act;

  • e) The terms will be equal to all other fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company on issue;

  • f) The funds will be used for the ongoing assessment of the Charley Creek Rare Earth project as well as necessary exploration and rentals on other Company projects and the assessment of potential opportunities and working capital.
