EXPLANATORY NOTES
Items 1, 2, 3 and 4
Shareholders who elected to receive printed copies of the 2012 Annual Report of the Company (including the Financial Report of the Company and the reports of the Directors and Auditor for the year ended 30 June 2012) will do so simultaneously or will have done so before their receipt of this notice. Those reports are also available on the Company’s website at www.goldencross.com.au.
Included in the 2012 Annual Report of the Company is the Directors’ Report, which includes:
-
Details of the qualifications, experience, and special responsibilities of Messrs Gemell and Timms.
-
The Remuneration Report of the Company, including remuneration details of Directors and Key Management Personnel.
Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting. While there is a requirement for a formal resolution on this item under section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act 2001 , the resolution is advisory only. It does not bind the Company or Directors, although Directors will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
Item 5 – Additional Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that ASX listed companies may only issue securities up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company in any subsequent twelve month period without shareholder approval, except in certain circumstances (such as a pro rata rights issue under Rule 7.2). The ASX introduced a new Listing Rule 7.1A from 1 August 2012, which allows eligible entities (including the Company) to seek shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting to increase that 15% capacity by 10% to a total of 25%. A special resolution requires the approval of seventy-five per cent of the shareholders present and able to vote.
The issue price of any shares issued pursuant to the additional capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares during the 15 trading days before: (a) the date on which the issue price is agreed, or
(b) if the shares are not issued within 5 trading days of that date, the date on which the shares are issued.
In considering whether to approve the motion, shareholders should consider the risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders that may result from an issue of shares pursuant to the additional capacity, including the risk that the market price of the Company’s shares may be significantly lower than on the date of the annual general meeting considering the motion (15 November 2012), and that the shares may be issued at a price that is a discount to the market price for the Company’s shares on the issue date.

The purposes of any issue of shares pursuant to the additional capacity would be funding exploration, feasibility studies, working capital, or the acquisition of new exploration tenements or other resources assets. The Company may issue the shares for non-cash consideration. In such events, the Company would obtain a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any shares pursuant to the additional capacity.
The Company policy in allocating shares pursuant to the additional capacity will depend upon market conditions at the time. It will have regard to factors including, but not only, the financial situation of the Company at that time and the effect of any issue upon the control of the Company. The recipients of any shares pursuant to the additional capacity may include substantial shareholders of the Company and new shareholders.
The Company has not previously sought approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
VOTING ENTITLEMENTS
In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, the Company has determined that for the purposes of the meeting, shares will be taken to be held by those persons recorded on the Company’s share register at 4.00 pm Sydney time on Tuesday 13 November 2012.

VOTING EXCLUSION STATEMENTS
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Motion 4 (Remuneration Report) by, or on behalf of, a director or member of the key management personnel as disclosed in the Remuneration Report and by a closely related party (such as close family members and any controlled companies) of those personnel, unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the Voting Form.
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Motion 5 (Additional Placement Capacity) by a person (and any associates of a person) who the Company knows at the time of the Annual General Meeting will participate in the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, being a person who might obtain a benefit if the Motion is passed except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of Shares, unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the Voting Form. As at the date of this notice, the Company has not approached any person to participate in a placement of shares. Thus, no existing shareholders will be excluded from voting on Motion 5 (Additional Placement Capacity).
PROXIES
A member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two persons as his or her proxy to attend and vote instead of the member. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If more than one proxy is appointed, the proxy form may specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes that each proxy may exercise. If the proxy form does not specify a proportion or number of votes then each proxy may exercise half of the member’s votes.
To be effective, proxy forms must be received by the Company at the address or fax number appearing on this notice at least 48 hours before the time for commencement of the meeting.
