The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Members with the information known to the Company that the Board considers material to their decision on whether to approve the resolutions in the accompanying Notice. This document is important and should be read in conjunction with all of the information contained in this booklet, including the Notice.

Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary in Section 0.

2 Ordinary business

Item 1 - Annual financial report and Directors’ and auditor’s reports

The first item of business of the Annual General Meeting is to receive and consider the financial report, together with the Directors’ and Auditor’s Reports, for the year ended 30 June 2012.

No resolution is required for this item of business. However, as a Member, you may submit a written question to the auditor prior to the Annual General Meeting provided that the question relates to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s Report; or

  • the conduct of the audit in relation to the Financial Report.

All written questions must be received by the Company no later than five business days prior to the meeting.

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

Item 2 - Election of Director

The second item of business of the Annual General Meeting relates to the election of a Director.

Rule 28.6 of the Constitution provides that at every Annual General Meeting of the Company one third of the Directors, other than the Managing Director, must retire from office. If the number of Directors is not a multiple of three, rule 28.6 requires that that number of Directors nearest to, but not less than, one third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must retire from office.

Rule 28(3) of the Constitution provides that if a Director is appointed by the Board, that Director will hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting, at which time the appointed Director may stand for re-election.

The election of each candidate must be considered and voted on as a separate resolution. Set out below are details of the resolution and candidate, together with the recommendation of the Board.

Resolution 1 - Re-election of Jay Hetzel – non-executive Director and Chair

In accordance with rule 28.6 of the Constitution, Jay Hetzel, a Non-Executive Director and Chair, will retire at the Annual General Meeting and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Biography of Jay Hetzel

Dr Hetzel holds a Bachelor in Agricultural Science (Honours) (University of Melbourne) and a Ph.D in Animal Genetics (University of Sydney). He co-founded Genetic Solutions Pty Ltd to commercialise genomics technology in livestock and the company was sold to Pfizer Animal Health in 2008. Dr Hetzel has served on a number of industry and government advisory groups including the Queensland Biotechnology Advisory Council, Australian Government Gene Technology Technical Advisory Committee and the Life Sciences Queensland Steering Committee. He is currently a non executive director of Beef CRC Ltd. Dr Hetzel is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. He is also a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The Directors, with Dr Hetzel abstaining, recommend that Dr Hetzel be elected as a Director.

Item 3 - Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report included in the Annual Report.

Item 3 proposes the adoption of the Remuneration Report. The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Board.

However, changes to the Corporations Act provide that if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Members will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of the approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

page 7

The resolution to approve the remuneration report was passed unanimously on a show of hands at the 2011 annual general meeting.

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

3 Special business

Item 4 – Approval of issue of Shares to Jay Hetzel as part payment of Director’s Fees

To assist the Company to conserve cash, the Company’s Non-Executive Director and Chairman, Dr Jay Hetzel, has agreed that $24,800 of his fees be paid by way of fully paid Ordinary Shares rather than cash in relation to the following period:

  • from 12 September 2012 to 30 June 2013 (in respect of the increase in fees he is due to receive as Chairman of the Board)

The Chairman’s annual gross fees are $66,000, pro-rated to $52,800 for the period of the financial year Dr Jay Hetzel was appointed to the position. In his previous position as a member of the Board, Dr Jay Hetzel was to earn $28,000 pro-rated for the financial year. The increase in fees due to the Chairman for this financial year is proposed to be paid in shares.

The Company has determined the number of Shares proposed to be issued by dividing the fees of $24,800 due by an issue price of $0.05 per share. The price per share is in accordance with the issue price of Shares under the April 2012 Entitlement Offer i.e. 496,000 fully paid Ordinary Shares.

Regulatory requirements – general approval for issue of Shares

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits the Company from issuing equity securities (such as Performance Shares) to a related party of the Company, such as a Director, without the Company obtaining Shareholder approval, unless an exception applies. None of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 apply in respect of Item 4. ASX Listing Rule 10.13 required that the Shares be issued within one month of the date approved by shareholders.

Under Listing Rule 7.1, subject to certain exceptions, a company must not issue more than 15% of the company’s total issued capital without shareholder approval.

The Company seeks approval of this issue in order to preserve its capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital without Member approval by allowing the Company to exclude any Shares issued under Item 4 from the 15% calculation.

If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors, with Dr Hetzel abstaining, recommend that Members vote in favour of item 4.

page 8

Item 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements in the 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalization of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below).

The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to fund ongoing development.

The Directors of the Company believe Item 5 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an Annual General Meeting.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities i.e. Ordinary Shares.

a) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an Annual General Meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

page 9

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under listing rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

b) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 46,231,029 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • a) 6,934,654 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • b) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 4,623,102 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

c) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued and agreed; or

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

d) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

page 10

  • b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX.

e) Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Item 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Item 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires 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).

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • a. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • b. 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 Item 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • a. 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

  • b. 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

page 11

  • a. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • b. cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

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

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • a. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • b. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • c. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • d. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

  • e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
