EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.mrltd.com.au.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1.1 General

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 company or 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 a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

1.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

6

3740-01/1589219_3

1.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

1.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Proxy Directed Undirected

  • 2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the remuneration report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).

  • 3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • 4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR WARWICK GRIGOR

Clause 14.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified in the Company's constitution.

Pursuant to clause 14.4 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at that meeting.

Mr Warwick Grigor having been appointed on 4 December 2015, will retire in accordance with Clause 14.4 of the Constitution of the Company and being eligible seek election from Shareholders.

The Company considers the following information is relevant to Shareholders when considering whether or not to elect Mr Banasik.

Warwick Grigor Non-Executive Chairman (Appointed 4 December 2015)

Mr Grigor is a highly respected and experienced mining analyst, with an intimate knowledge of all market related aspects of the mining industry. He is a graduate of the Australian National University having completed degrees in law and economics. His association with mining commenced with a position in the finance department of Hamersley Iron, and from there he moved to Jacksons, Graham, Moore and Partners to become Australia's first specialist gold mining analyst. Mr Grigor left to be the founding research partner at Pembroke Securities and then

7

3740-01/1589219_3

the Senior Analyst at County NatWest Securities. He left County in 1991 to found Far East Capital Limited which was established as a specialist mining company financier and corporate adviser, together with Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest.

In 2008, Far East Capital sponsored the formation of a stockbroking company, BGF Equities, and Mr Grigor assumed the position of Executive Chairman. This was rebadged as Canaccord Genuity Australia Limited when a 50% stake was sold to Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. Mr Grigor retired from Canaccord in October 2014, returning to Far East Capital.

The Board considers that Mr Grigor is an independent director because he does not have a material or pecuniary relationship with the Company or related persons.

The Directors, with Mr Grigor abstaining, support the election of Mr Grigor and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 and are not aware of any additional information that would be considered material to Shareholders’ decision to elect Mr Grigor.

The Directors, with Mr Warwick Grigor abstaining, support the election of Mr Grigor and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF PETER YOUD WHO RETIRES BY ROTATION

ASX Listing Rule provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 year, whichever is the longer.

Clause 14.2 of the Constitution provides

  • (a) at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office;

  • (b) a Director (other than a Managing Director) must retire from office at the conclusion of the third annual general meeting after which the Director was elected or re-elected;

  • (c) the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by ballot; and

  • (d) a retiring Director is eligible for re-election;

  • (e) in determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:

  • (i) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 14.4 of the Constitution; and

  • (ii) a Managing Director,

each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.

8

3740-01/1589219_3

The Company currently has 2 Directors (not including additional director Mr Warwick Grigor or Managing Director Craig McGuckin) and accordingly 1 must retire.

Peter Youd, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

A biography of Peter Youd, who was appointed as a Director in June 2014, is set out in the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The Board considers that Mr Youd is not an independent director because he is an executive director.

The Directors, with Mr Peter Youd abstaining, support the election of Mr Youd and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 and are not aware of any additional information that would be considered material to Shareholders’ decision to re-elect Mr Youd.
