1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES
On 28 November 2013, the Company announced to ASX that it had arranged a private Placement to raise a total of approximately $1.08 million (before issue costs).

Instructions for Completing Proxy Form
1.
A member entitled to attend and vote at a General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please write the full name of that individual or body corporate in the space provided. If you leave both the box and this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act, if your appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and your appointed proxy is not the Chairman of the meeting and at the meeting a poll is duly demanded on the question that the resolution be passed, then if either your proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting (if a record of attendance is made) or your proxy does not vote on the resolution, the Chairman is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as your proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at that meeting.
3.
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction, unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate place. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act, if you direct your proxy how to vote on a particular resolution, the proxy need not vote on a show of hands but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed. 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. If the proxy is the Chairman, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote as directed and if the proxy is not the Chairman, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed.
4.
Where a member’s holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.
Where a Proxy Form of a corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.
Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
7.
8.
(a)
- (b)
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
post to Enterprise Metals Limited, Level 1, 640 Murray Street, West Perth WA 6005; or
facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9436 9220
so that it is received not later than 10.00am (WST) on 15 January 2014.
Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
