EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders of the Company in understanding the business to be put to shareholders for their consideration at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company.
The Directors recommend that you read this Explanatory Memorandum and attend the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 1 - Election of Director
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 13.2 of the Company's Constitution one third of the directors for the time being must retire from office at every Annual General Meeting and are eligible for reelection.
Mr den Drvver is eligible for re-election and this resolution is placed before Shareholders seeking his election.
Resolution 2 - Election of Director
Clause 13.3 of the Company's Constitution provides that directors may at any time appoint a person to be a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors, but so that the total number of directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Any director so appointed holds office only until the next following General Meeting and is then eligible for re-election.
Mr Dunbar was appointed a director of the Company on 18th July 2006 and retires at the next Annual General Meeting. Mr Dunbar is eligible for re-election and this resolution is placed before Shareholders seeking his election.
Resolution 3 - Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and key personnel of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. However, Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 3 is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its directors.
Resolution 4 - Approval to Issue Shares
Resolution 4 seeks approval for the directors to issue and allot up to 13,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price that is at least 80% of the average market price for ordinary shares calculated over the last 5 days on which the placement is made.
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.
One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting.
Approval of the resolution will enable the directors to issue up to 13,000,000 new shares in the company which will provide working capital to fund new and ongoing exploration activities.
