This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 11:00am on 16 December 2011 at The Gallipoli Club, 2[nd] Floor Function Room, 12 Loftus Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

Terms used in this Explanatory Statement will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning as given to them in the Glossary as contained in this Explanatory Statement.
1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Convertible Notes
1.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the past issue of Convertible Notes under the Funding Agreement. On 29 August 2011, Torian Resources NL and La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc (LJCI) entered into the Funding Agreement, which was subsequently amended on 11 November 2011, pursuant to which Torian agreed to issue, and LJCI agreed to acquire Convertible Notes pursuant to three convertible note facilities of US$1,500,000 each. The maximum advance under the Funding Agreement is therefore US$4,500,000.
The Funding Agreement provides for Torian to make a number of draw downs under each convertible note facility up to a maximum of US$1,500,000. In essence, each drawdown or monthly payment under each convertible note facility is deemed to be a separate Convertible Note for all intents and purposes.
The Company believes the Funding Agreement is the best option available to secure the next phase of its proposed programs in Madagascar and particularly the gold project at Vatovorona. The Company has a proposed work plan and budget for the next 18 months that would see 12,000 metres of drilling, the extension of the existing pit or the commencement of a further pit, the acquisition of some trial processing plant and the commencement of processing to produce concentrate for refining offshore from Madagascar.
The Funding Agreement has the advantage of reducing dilution of the stock against an immediate cash advance by seeking the benefit from the possible rise in share price during the term of the Funding Agreement. The Funding Agreement effectively provides that the full advance attributable to each Convertible Note will be payable on issue of the Convertible Note and that Convertible Notes
will be issued over a period of 18 months to cover expenditure as and when it is incurred.
1.2 Drawdowns under the Funding Agreement
On 2 September 2011, LJCI subscribed US$450,000 comprising the first drawdown under the first convertible note facility of US$1,500, 000 and was allotted the first Convertible Note.
On 4 October 2011, LJCI subscribed US$200,000 comprising the second drawdown under the first convertible note facility of US$1,500, 000 and was allotted the second Convertible Note.
On or about 11 November 2011, LJCI will subscribe US$200,000 comprising the third drawdown under the first convertible note facility of US$1,500,000 and will be allotted the third Convertible Note.
On or about 5 December 2011, LJCI will subscribe US$200,000 comprising the fourth drawdown under the first convertible note facility of US$1,500,000 and will be allotted the fourth Convertible Note.
At the date of the General Meeting, Torian will have drawn down US$1,050,000 of the first $1,500,000 convertible note facility with LJCI and LJCI will have been issued four Convertible Notes to the value of US$1,050,000.
1.3 Summary of terms of the Funding Agreement
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Funding Agreement:
-
(a) LJCI has agreed to provide Torian with a funding facility, through the issue of Convertible Notes, of up to US$4,500,000;
-
(b) the note facility is comprised of three separate facilities, each having a maximum value of US$1,500,000;
-
(c) under the initial note facility:
-
(i) LJCI will subscribe an initial amount of US$450,000 comprising the first drawdown; and
-
(ii) LJCI will subscribe an amount of not less than US$200,000 each month comprising subsequent drawdowns under the initial note facility until such time as the initial note facility is fully subscribed;
-
(d) under each subsequent note facility:
-
(i) LJCI will subscribe an initial amount of US$450,000 comprising the first drawdown; and
-
(ii) LJCI will subscribe an amount of not less than US$200,000 each month comprising subsequent drawdowns under each subsequent note facility until such time as each subsequent note facility is fully subscribed;
Torian Resources NL
ABN: 72 002 261 565
-
(e) Torian will seek Shareholder approval for the issue (or ratification of the issue, as applicable, at the relevant time) of the Convertible Notes under the initial note facility at this General Meeting and Shareholder approval for the issue (or ratification of the issue as applicable, at the relevant time) of the Convertible Notes under the subsequent note facilities when required at future general meetings of Torian;
-
(f) Torian will at all times comply with the ASX Listing Rules – Torian undertakes that it will not issue Convertible Notes under the subsequent note facilities in excess of its available capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the prior approval of Shareholders;
-
(g) LJCI and Torian acknowledge and agree that each note expressed to be issued under the Funding Agreement is deemed to operate as an individual note facility and that each drawdown or monthly payment under each note facility under the Funding Agreement is deemed to be a separate Convertible Note for all intents and purposes, including compliance with the ASX Listing Rules; and
-
(h) the terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in paragraph 1.5 below.
1.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue without Shareholder approval more securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for subsequent Shareholder approval if the Company did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue and the holders of ordinary shares subsequently approve it.
As set out in paragraph 1.2, at the date of the General Meeting, the Company will have issued four Convertible Notes with a maximum aggregate value of US$1,050,000. The terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in paragraph
1.5 below.
Although Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Convertible Notes, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval for these issues in the manner provided by ASX Listing Rule 7.4 because this will enable the Company to retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
1.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is three Convertible Notes, the terms of which are set out in paragraph (c) below;
-
(b) The price at which the Securities were issued was US$1,050,000, comprising US$450,000 in respect of the first Convertible Note and US$200,000 in respect of each of the subsequent three Convertible Notes;
-
(c) The terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows:
-
The Convertible Notes are issued pursuant to a note facility with a maximum value of US$1,500,000;
-
The first Convertible Note has a face value of US$450,000, the second Convertible Note has a face value of US$200,000, the third Convertible Note has a face value of US$200,000 and the fourth Convertible Note has a face value of US$200,000;
-
Interest is payable on the face value of each Convertible Note at the rate of 4.75% per annum monthly in arrears in cash or, at the option of Torian, in new Shares issued at the then applicable Conversion Price as set out below;
-
The maturity date of each Convertible Note is the date which is 3 years from the issue date of the first Convertible Note ( Maturity Date );
-
The Convertible Notes are unsecured and ranks behind all secured debts owed by Torian and equally with all other unsecured debts owed by Torian;
-
Torian may prepay the Convertible Notes at an amount equal to 105% of the outstanding principal and interest in certain circumstances, including during a fixed period following receipt of a conversion notice from LJCI and, on prepayment, the respective Convertible Notes will be cancelled by the Company;
-
Each Convertible Note converts into that number of Shares calculated by dividing the face value of the Convertible Note by the conversion price. The conversion price of the Convertible Note ( Conversion Price ) is calculated to be the lower of:
ABN: 72 002 261 565
Torian Resources NL
-
AU$0.04 and
-
85% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the Shares during the 21 trading days prior to LJCI’s election to convert the Convertible Note into Shares;

-
The rights of LJCI under each Convertible Note will change to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation, including ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1;
-
If a "Fundamental Corporate Change" (e.g. a merger of Torian, the sale of substantially all of the assets and business of Torian, or the transfer of more than 50% of the Shares to a third party) occurs, then Torian must prepay the Convertible Note for 120% of the Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest;
-
The Convertible Note will not carry any entitlement to attend or vote at a general meeting of Shareholders nor any entitlement to participate in any future issues of securities by Torian;
-
Any Shares issued and allotted on conversion of the Convertible Notes will rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares on issue at the date of issue and allotment;
-
The Convertible Note is not transferable unless the transferee is a sophisticated investor and the investor first obtains the written consent of Torian;
-
If the conversion of the Convertible Note would cause LJCI’s (or anyone else's) voting power in Torian to increase to more than 20%, then Torian shall have the right to either:
-
(i) prepay that portion of the Convertible Note that LJCI elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest; or
-
(ii) extend the delivery date for the conversion until such conversion will not cause LJCI to exceed 20% of the voting power or until such relevant approvals are obtained; or
- (iii) extend the Maturity Date for the Convertible Note, for a period not to exceed 12 months, in Torian’s sole and absolute discretion.
-
The Convertible Notes will not be quoted on ASX or any other securities exchange;
-
Under the Funding Agreement, Torian is required to apply to ASX for quotation of any new Shares issued on the conversion of the Convertible Note within 2 trading days of the issue of those new Shares.
-
(d) The Convertible Notes the subject of the resolution were issued to LJCI, and LJCI is not related to the Company;
-
(e) The funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used by Torian to further develop Torian’s prospective projects in Madagascar, and for working capital.

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of Convertible Notes to LJCI in accordance with the terms of the Funding Agreement. In essence, this Resolution refers to those Convertible Notes to be issued by the Company to LJCI when further draw downs are made under the initial note facility (for the remaining balance of US$450,000).
Under the terms of the Funding Agreement, it is likely that the remaining balance of US$450,000 will be drawn down by the Company by 10 February 2012.

-
(l) In the event of any capital reconstruction by Torian, the Consultant’s right to a Performance Payment will be treated or adjusted, as set out in the terms of the Consultancy Deeds.

(m) The Board may resolve at any time to terminate or suspend the Performance Payment component to the Consultancy deeds upon which termination or suspension will only apply to unearned Performance Payments.
7.3 Performance Targets and Performance Payments
The right to receive a Performance Payment is a contractual right to receive a Share, arising upon the satisfaction of specified service and performance targets ( performance targets ).
The Shareholders have previously approved the Executive Incentive Plan of the Company which sets out milestones and Milestone Payments. If resolution 7 is adopted by the Shareholders, the related party Directors of the consulting companies (Messrs Ashcroft and Johns) will no longer be

It follows that simultaneously with execution of the Consultancy Deeds, after the approval of the Shareholders is obtained, Torian intends to amend the Executive Incentive Plan by removing the entitlement to be issued Shares under it.
Details of the performance targets, including the number of securities proposed to be issued on achievement of the performance targets are more fully set out in Annexure A, however a brief summary is set out below:
-
performance targets 1 to 5 directly correspond to the staged development of the Vatovorona Gold Project in Madagascar;
-
performance targets 6 to 8 relate to the calculation of ore reserves at the Vatovorona Gold Project in Madagascar;
-
performance targets 9 relates to the establishment of other projects in Madagascar;
-
performance targets 10 and 11 relate to the calculation of ore reserves on other projects in Madagascar;
-
performance targets 12 and 13 relate to the addition of further joint venture projects as a result of the current Vatovorona Gold Project in Madagascar; and
-
performance targets 14 to 20 relate to the improvement of Torian’s Share price.
-
At the date of this General Meeting, the first two performance targets have been achieved. The Directors recommend Shareholders examine the proposed milestones.

This means that the valuation of 200,000,000 listed shares in the Company using the direct method of valuation is $800,000.
The resulting issue of shares will affect the below related parties on the following basis:
| Related Party | Number of Shares | Value of Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cache Management Consulting Pty Ltd |
100,000,000 | $400,000 |
| Penna (S&I) Pty Ltd |
100,000,000 | $400,000 |
| Total | 200,000,000 | $800,000 |

Cameron Young recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. Peter Ashcroft and Ian Johns make no recommendation regarding Resolution 7 because each of them has an interest in it.

The terms of the Consultancy Deeds and the performance targets are set out in paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3 and contained in Annexure A.
The terms of issue of the Shares under the Consultancy Deeds the subject of Resolution 7 have been approved by the Board of Directors.
The effect of the issue of the Shares under Resolution 7 will be to dilute the interests of existing Shareholders. The table below sets out the effect of the issues of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 7 on the capital structure of the Company.
