Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

Ordinary Business of the General Meeting

1. Introduction

Red Emperor Resources NL is a public company listed on the official list of ASX (ASX code: RMP) and has applied to be admitted to the official list of AIM (AIM code: RMP) as announced to ASX on 26 May 2011.

2. Background to Change in Activities

The Company presently operates as a mineral exploration company; with a 25% free carried interest in its Jillewarra Project, which is a copper and gold exploration project in Western Australia.

In June 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire up to a 20% interest in two licences encompassing the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys in Puntland, Somalia (Puntland Projects) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (Puntland Acquisition Agreement). The Company elected to earn a 20% interest in each of the Puntland Projects and received ministerial consent to the farm-in in January 2011.

In January 2011 the Company entered into a heads of agreement to acquire a 20% interest in two onshore oil and gas blocks in the Republic of Georgia (Georgian Project) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In May 2011 the Company entered into the formal agreements in respect of the Georgian Project earn-in of a 20% working interest in the Georgian Project (Georgian Acquisition Agreement).

Pursuant to the Puntland Acquisition Agreement and the Georgian Acquisition Agreement, Red Emperor will contribute:

  • 30% of the costs of drilling two exploration wells to earn a 20% interest in each of the two blocks, Dharoor and Nugaal, being the Puntland Projects. Red Emperor has an option but not an obligation to participate in the second well; and

  • 40% of the costs of drilling two exploration wells, capped at US$5.6 million, to earn a 20% interest in the Georgian Project.

The Company now proposes to focus its activities on the Puntland Project and the Georgian Project, and will continue to pursue other oil and gas, and mineral opportunities. Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to spend the majority of its funds on the Projects.

If Shareholders approve the proposed change of activities of the Company to oil and gas exploration and mineral exploration, Red Emperor’s directors will look to pursue other opportunities for oil and gas exploration and production throughout the world and to commit the Company’s resources to those opportunities should they arise. Red Emperor’s directors also intend to continue to pursue mineral exploration opportunities and will continue to maintain its interest in the Jillewarra Project to ensure its good standing.

Notice of General Meeting

3. Puntland Project

Pursuant to the Puntland Acquisition Agreement,

  • the Company will contribute 30% of the costs of drilling two exploration wells to earn a 20% interest in each of the two blocks, Dharoor and Nugaal; and

  • The Company has entered into formal agreements with Africa Oil Corp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Canmex Holdings (Bermuda) II Ltd (collectively Africa Oil) to acquire a 20% interest in the Puntland Projects.

Pursuant to the Puntland Acquisition Agreement, the Company will earn a 20% interest in onshore petroleum projects which are located in the Dharoor Valley and the Nugaal Valley of Puntland, Somalia (Puntland Farmin) by contributing to the work programme. This involves the drilling of one exploration well on the Dharoor Valley block which is anticipated to commence drilling in the third quarter of 2011. Followed by, the drilling of a second exploration well on either the Dharoor Valley block or the Nugaal Valley block as determined by the operator, Africa Oil. Red Emperor has an option but not an obligation to participate in the second well.

As announced to ASX on 18 January 2011, the government of Puntland has formally approved the Company's farmin to earn a 20% interest in the Puntland Projects.

Exploration

The Company will contribute 30% of the costs of drilling the one exploration well on the Dharoor Valley block to earn a 20% interest. The funding of 30% of all drilling costs shall apply for the initial US$25 million total gross drilling costs only and thereafter the Company shall only pay 20% of all related drilling costs in proportion to its interest. Red Emperor has an option but not an obligation to participate in a second well on either the Dharoor Valley block or the Nugaal Valley block on the same basis. The Company’s contribution is estimated to be approximately US$7 million for the initial exploration well.

A summary of the history of the Puntland Projects is set out below as announced to ASX on 3 June 2011.

Dharoor and Nugaal Valleys

In 2006 the Puntland Government granted Range Resources Ltd (ASX: RRS) ("Range") certain mineral and hydrocarbon rights which included the highly prospective Nugaal and Dharoor exploration blocks. In 2007 Range brought in partner Africa Oil Corp. (TSXV: AOI) ("Africa Oil") to finance and help to develop the Nugaal and Dharoor oil prospects. Africa Oil operates the licences covered by the production sharing agreements in respect of the two blocks.

Prior to Red Emperor's farm-in, the joint venture invested significant funds on seismic acquisition and interpretive works designed to identify the most prospective drill targets in both the Nugaal and Dharoor exploration blocks. The targets identified are the subject of the current exploration program.

Puntland

Somalia is situated in the most north-eastern part of Africa, known as ‘the Horn of Africa’. The Democratic State of Puntland is located in the north-eastern sector of Somalia and covers approximately 212,000km[2] .

Somalia, and in particular Puntland, remain one of the last under-explored countries that have high potential for vast reserves of hydrocarbons. During the late 1980’s the state was divided into a number of concessions for oil exploration. Significant exploration was undertaken but this effectively ceased due to political instability that arose in 1991.

The rationale concerning prospectivity in Puntland is based on the proposition that the Cretaceous and Jurassic age Nugaal and Dharoor basins in Puntland are extensions of the prolific producing Marib-Shawba and Sayun-Masila Basins in Yemen. It is believed these basins were contiguous before the Gulf of Aden opened and therefore the prospects and plays are likely similar to those in Yemen.

The legal structure of Puntland consists of the judiciary, legislative (house of representatives) and the executive (the president and his nominated council of ministries) branches of government. They have had two peaceful elections in the past 5 years with the current President, Abdirahman Mohamud Farole (a former PhD candidate in the history department at La Trobe University in Melbourne) fully supportive of the development of the natural assets believed to exist in abundance both on and off the shores of Puntland.

A summary of the history of the Georgian Project is set out below as announced to ASX on 3 June 2011.

Notice of General Meeting

Blocks VIa and VIb Background

A significant number of wells were drilled in Georgia during the Soviet era (mainly in the 1980’s and 1990’s) in and adjacent to blocks VIa and VIb. A review of all available data in 2008/2009 by the operator, Strait, and recognised international oil and gas consultants RPS Group (RPS) found that very few of the 200 wells were drilled with the specific objective of finding oil and gas reservoirs. Certain wells were drilled to relatively shallow depths, to further define structural features identified from surface geological mapping, and to assist in planning the location and design of water reservoirs. Deeper wells were drilled for the purpose of detailed identification of the stratigraphy of the area. Many of these wells found oil and gas shows, in which case they were shut in and abandoned without testing.

2D Seismic Programme and Subsequent Results

In March 2010 Range and Strait completed 410km of 2D seismic across the two blocks in satisfaction of Phase II of the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC"). The initial results from the draft report of seismic interpretation, field mapping and evaluation completed by RPS were released by Range to the ASX on 18 November 2010. RPS identified a total of 68 structural culminations across the two blocks each of which potentially contains stacked reservoirs. Total combined best estimate of gross unrisked oil-in-place across these 68 identified structural culminations amounts to 2,045 million barrels.

Of the 68 identified prospective targets across the two blocks, 6 structures have been prioritized as being ready for drilling. Of these 6 structures, total gross unrisked oil-in-place has been estimated at 728 million barrels.

Exploration Program Currently Underway

As announced on to ASX 4 May 2011, rig mobilisation has commenced with site preparation near completion and spudding confirmed for June 2011. The Mukhiani Well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has the following potential STOIIP:

*STOIIP shown here assumes that the Vani 3 Prospect contains 3 stacked reservoirs based on current stratigraphic understanding. Any given well may encounter 1, 2, or 3 such potential reservoirs depending on the degree of relative uplift and/or erosion at any given Prospect location.

The recently completed geochemical helium survey undertaken by joint venture partner Range Resources Ltd confirmed the suitability of the first drill location with oil exploration and development prospectivity complementing the earlier seismic work completed on the target.

The above timetable is indicative only and may be varied in consultation with the ASX.

6. Director’s Recommendation

Advantage of the Proposals

The Directors consider that the change in the nature of the activities of the Company represents an opportunity for the Company and its shareholders to focus on the potential upside of prospective oil and gas discoveries as well as potential mineral discoveries.

The Puntland Acquisition Agreement and the Georgian Acquisition Agreement bring to the Company:

  • an immediate interest in planned wells to be drilled as part of the interest earn-in obligations;

Notice of General Meeting

Page 11

  • an opportunity to participate in onshore exploration drilling in proven hydrocarbon provinces;

  • the anticipated commencement of drilling on the first exploration well in July 2011 on the Georgian Project; and

  • the anticipated commencement of drilling on the first exploration well on Dharoor in the third quarter of 2011 on the Puntland Project.

Disadvantages of the Proposals

The principal disadvantage of the proposals, including the proposed change in nature ad scale of the Company, is the increase in the risk profile of the Company due to the risks and uncertainties of oil and gas exploration described further below.

Pursuant to the Puntland Acquisition Agreement and the Georgian Acquisition Agreement, the Company has already committed itself to approximately US$13,000,000 in earn-in funding.

Recommendation

The Directors of the Company consider that the transactions the subject of the Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The current Directors have agreed to put the Resolutions to Shareholders and have approved the information contained in this Explanatory Statement.

The Directors do not have any material interest in the outcome of the Resolution 1 other than as a result of their interest arising solely in the capacity of Shareholders of the Company.

Each of the current Directors intends to vote their Shares in favour of each of the Resolutions.

10. Conditionality of Resolutions

Resolution 1 is conditional upon Resolution 2 being passed, so that it will not have effect unless and until Resolution 2 is passed. Resolution 2 is conditional upon Resolution 1 being passed, so that it will not have effect unless and until Resolution 1 is passed.

11. Risk of the Oil and Gas Exploration

11.1 Cost-sharing arrangements

As a result of the Company’s cost-sharing arrangements with its partners, the Company may bear the exploration investment cost for wells that do not contain commercially exploitable deposits. The failure to identify and develop commercially exploitable deposits exposes the Company to the risk that it will bear exploration costs. Bearing such costs would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results and, depending on their frequency and magnitude, could threaten the survival of the Group.

11.2 Exploration Risk

There is no assurance that oil and/or gas other than that already discovered will be discovered in the areas in which the Company has an interest. Even if further oil and/or gas is discovered in those

Notice of General Meeting

Page 13

areas, there is no assurance that commercial quantities of oil and/or gas can be recovered from the Company permits.

11.3 Relationship with partners

The Company’s success in developing its assets will depend materially upon the cooperation of its partners in carrying out the Company’s obligations under its production sharing contracts. The failure to work cooperatively with its partners could curtail exploration, drilling and production activities and be detrimental to the Company’s business.

Should the Company’s relationship with any of its partners be terminated or should the Company’s partners be unable or fail to meet their responsibilities, or if the Group is unable to effectively work together with its partners, its success and profitability may be adversely affected.

In particular, the bankruptcy, insolvency, financial distress of one of the partners or any failure by a partner to pay amounts due, may result in the Company assuming liability for a greater portion of obligations than it would otherwise bear in relation to the joint venture, or may result in the termination of the relevant petroleum rights, which, in turn, could adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.

11.4 Future Funding Requirements

To develop its business, including the exploration and development of its oil and gas discoveries, the Company will require additional funding. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available for the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to participate in further developing and exploiting its assets.

11.5 Oil and Gas Price Fluctuations

The price for oil and gas will depend on available markets at acceptable prices and transmission, distribution and other costs. Any substantial decline in the prices of oil and gas or an increase in transmission, distribution or other costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

11.6 Drilling and Operating Risks

The Company’s operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortage or delays in the delivery of rigs and/or other equipment and compliance with government requirements.

Fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, well collapse, abnormal pressure formations and environmental spills or leakage of petroleum liquids, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, could cause the Company substantial loss due to the cost of personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction or property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations.

Any of these events might also give rise to claims against the Company.

11.7 Ability to Exploit Success

Any successful exploration of discoveries would require obtaining the necessary production permit and the relevant government approvals under petroleum legislation in that jurisdiction. The required

Notice of General Meeting

Page 14

approvals may be issued at the discretion of the relevant authorities and might be issued subject to conditions or preconditions.

12. Additional Information

Plans for the Company if the Resolutions are not approved

If the Resolutions are not approved by Shareholders, the Board of the Company will review the position in order to consider the future of the Company.

13. Resolution 1 – Change of Activities

13.1 Background

The Company is required to seek Shareholder approval to its proposed change in nature and scale of activities to focus on its interest in oil and gas exploration projects, being the Puntland Project and the Georgian Project.

As outlined above, the Company has entered into the Puntland Acquisition Agreement and the Georgian Acquisition Agreement. Detailed descriptions of the Puntland Project and the Georgian Project and risk factors associated with the projects are set out in Sections 3, 4 and 9 above. This information is considered material to Shareholders and Shareholders are advised to read this information carefully.

Resolution 1 seeks approval from Shareholders for a change to the nature and scale of the activities of the Company to focus on the Projects.

13.2 Listing Rule 11.1.2

In summary, Listing Rule 11.1.2 provides that a listed company that proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature or scale of its activities it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable and comply with the following:

  • (a) provide to ASX information regarding the change and its effect on future potential earnings, and any information that ASX asks for;

  • (b) if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its shares to the change; and

  • (c) if ASX requires, meet the requirements in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the Company were applying for admission to the official list of ASX.

ASX has indicated to the Company that given the change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities in relation to the Puntland Project and the Georgian Project, ASX requires the Company to:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2; and

  • (b) comply with the requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

13.3 Outcome

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will have obtained, in compliance with Listing Rule 11.1.2, Shareholder approval to the change in the nature and scale of its activities to the extent described in this Explanatory Statement.

Notice of General Meeting

Page 15

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be permitted to change the nature and scale of its activities and the Board of the Company will review the position in order to consider the future of the Company.

The passing of Resolution 1 is conditional upon, and subject to, Resolution 2 being passed by Shareholders. Therefore, if you wish to vote in favour of Resolution 1, you should also vote in favour of Resolution 2.

14. Resolution 2 – Approval of Capital Raising

14.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of Shares raising a total of up to $1,000,000 pursuant to a prospectus to be issued by the Company for the purpose of re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules (Capital Raising).

None of the subscribers pursuant to this issue will be related parties of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to 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 effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the Share Placement during the period of 3 months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

14.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the issue price, equals $1,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be not less than 80% of the average market price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the details of the Capital Raising are announced to ASX and in any event will not be less than $0.20;

  • (d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to sophisticated investors identified by a financial advisor to be appointed by the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Capital Raising towards expenditure commitments for existing projects, including commitments for the Georgian Project and Puntland Project exploration programs, and general working capital.

Notice of General Meeting

The passing of Resolution 2 is conditional upon, and subject to, Resolution 1 being passed by Shareholders. Therefore, if you wish to vote in favour of Resolution 2, you should also vote in favour of Resolution 1.

15. Resolutions 3 to 5 – Issue of Options to Related Parties

15.1 General Information

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 4,500,000 Options to Messrs Greg Bandy, Jason Bontempo and Stephen Brockhurst or their respective nominees (Related Parties). Each Option will be exercisable at $0.30, on or before 30 June 2012 and otherwise issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure B of this Explanatory Statement.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The grant of the Options to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Messrs Greg Bandy, Jason Bontempo and Stephen Brockhurst are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the Options to the Related Parties.

15.3 Shareholder Approvals (Chapter 2E of Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to allow Shareholders to assess the proposed grant of the Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Messrs Greg Bandy, Jason Bontempo and Stephen Brockhurst, and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 3,000,000 Options to Greg Bandy;

  • (ii) 1,000,000 Options to Jason Bontempo; and

  • (iii) 500,000 Options to Stephen Brockhurst;

  • (c) the Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (d) the Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Options will be issued on one date;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure B of this Explanatory Statement;

  • (f) the value of the Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Section 15.4 below;

An aggregate amount of $68,938 was paid, or was due and payable to Mining Corporate Pty Ltd, a
company of which Mr Brockhurst is a director, for the provision of corporate and company
secretarial services to the Company.
  • (i) If the Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 4,500,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 147,616,114 to 152,116,114 (excluding the 7,500,000 partly paid ordinary shares on issue and assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.96%, comprising 1.97% by Greg Bandy, 0.66% by Jason Bontempo and 0.33% by Stephen Brockhurst.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting the Shares are trading on ASX at a price greater than the exercise price of the Options. The Board resolved to issue the Options, subject to Shareholder approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice of Meeting at a time when the Shares were trading on ASX at a price lower than the exercise price of the Options, but Shareholder approval has not been able to be obtained until this Meeting. The Board resolved to issue those Options being issued to the Related Parties on 4 February 2011 when the previous closing price of the Shares on ASX was 25 cents;

  • (j) information on the trading history of the Shares on ASX since 1 January 2011 is set out in Section 15.2 above;

  • (k) the primary purpose of the issue of the Options is to appropriately remunerate and reward the Directors for their efforts completing two significant transactions for the Company as well as raising more than $14 million in last 10 months. The Directors (other than in respect of the Resolution that they receive a benefit, in which case they decline to comment) do not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits forgone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed. If the Options are not issued, the Company could remunerate the executives for additional amounts. However, the Board considers it reasonable for the remuneration of the executives to have a cash component and an equity component to further align the Related Parties’ interests with Shareholders and maintain a strong cash position for the Company;

  • (l) the Board acknowledges the grant of Options to Messrs Brockhurst and Bontempo is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Options to Messrs Brockhurst and Bontempo is

Notice of General Meeting

Page 19

reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • (m) Greg Bandy, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 and 5, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 for those reasons set out in paragraphs (k) and (l) above. Greg Bandy is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass either Resolutions 4 or 5.

Greg Bandy declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution;

  • (n) Jason Bontempo, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 5, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 5 for those reasons set out in paragraphs (k) and (l) above. Jason Bontempo is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass either Resolutions 3 or 5.

Jason Bontempo declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution; and

  • (o) Stephen Brockhurst, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4 for those reasons set out in paragraphs (k) and (l) above. Stephen Brockhurst is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass either Resolution 3 or 4.

Stephen Brockhurst declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

15.4 Valuation of Options

The Options to be issued to Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 3 to 5 have been valued by internal management. Using the theoretical Black-Scholes option valuation model and based on the assumptions set out below, the Options were ascribed a value range as follows:

Valuation
Number of Options 4,500,000
Share Price $0.30
Indicative valueper Option $0.15
Value of the Options $687,347
Assumptions:
Valuation Date 25/05/2011
Exercise Price $0.30
ExpiryDate 30/06/2012
Volatility 27.5%
Risk free interest rate 4.97%

Note: No discount has been applied in relation to the valuation to account for the vesting conditions of the Options. The valuation ranges noted above are not necessarily the market prices that the Options could be traded at and they are not automatically the market prices for taxation purposes.
