EXPLANATORY NOTES

These explanatory notes set out information in connection with the business to be considered at the Icon Resources Ltd Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 18 June 2010.

BUSINESS

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its expanded capital in any 12-month period without requiring shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rules 7.3 and 7.4 allow the Company to seek the approval of shareholders for issues made under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1

Approval of Proposed Issue of Shares under Placement

The Company proposes to issue up to 8,790,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to clients of Martin Place Securities Pty Limited, and a number of sophisticated and professional investors, as announced to the ASX on 19 April 2010, at an issue price of $0.075. The issue will raise up to $659,250 for general working capital purposes, mainly in connection with the Mt Carbine project, including a drilling programme at Mt Carbine and trial test batches of Mt Carbine material. The issue is not in breach of Listing Rule 7.1 and has not previously been approved by the shareholders of the Company. Resolution 1 calls for shareholder approval and ratification of the proposed issue pursuant of ASX Listing Rule 7.3. The shares will rank equally in all respects with all existing ordinary shares previously issued by the Company. The issue date of the shares will be no later than three months from the date of the meeting, or such other date as the ASX may permit.

Resolution 2

Approval of Issue of Shares to a Director – Dr Leon Pretorius

Subject to shareholder approval, in relation to Resolution 2 it is proposed that Dr Leon Pretorius, as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, will participate in a proposed placement on the same terms as mentioned above in Resolution 1 through the investment of $375,000 at a share price of $0.075 for a maximum of 5,000,000 shares.

The share price at the date of this notice is $0.08, and this compares to a share price high of $0.098 and a low of $0.074 in the month leading up to this Notice. It is noted that $0.075 is the same issue price as the recent Share Purchase Plan offered to Icon shareholders. The Shares will be issued to the Director within one month of the meeting, i.e. prior to 18 July 2010. The funds raised will assist Icon’s present drilling programme at Mt Carbine and trial test batches of Mt Carbine material as well as supply general working capital.

General

The shares mentioned in Resolutions 1 and 2 rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The subscribers to the proposed issue in Resolution 1 will not be related parties of the Company.
