NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement - 12 June 2009

Introduction
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of members of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the general meeting of members to be held at Level 2, 35 Outram Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Friday 17 July 2009 at 10:30am (WST).
This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
1. Ratification of Placement on 29 May 2009 (Resolution 1)
ASX Listing Rule Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 relevantly provides that the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company is required to an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue and allotment of shares outlined in Resolution 1 does not exceed the 15% limit, however, ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 provide that, where a company in general meeting ratifies an issue of equity securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby enabling the company to issue further equity securities without exceeding the 15% in 12 months limitation.
Shareholder approval is sought to refresh the Company’s 15% equity security placement limit pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The information required by ASX Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5 to be provided to shareholders is contained within this Explanatory Statement and the Notice of General Meeting.
Resolution 1 of the Notice of General Meeting proposes the ratification for the issue of 5,455,108 Shares as announced on 26 May 2009, thereby satisfying the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the placement.
-
(a) Number of securities issued: 5,455,108 Shares
-
(b) Price at which the securities were issued: $0.55 cents per Share
-
(c) The Shares rank equally in all respects with the other existing shares on issue.
-
(d) The shares were issued to selected professional and/or sophisticated investors who satisfied the definition contained in section 708(8) of the Corporations Act 2001;
-
(e) No shares were issued to any related party of the Company; and
-
(f) The intended use of the funds raised will be directed towards funding ongoing studies at the North Perth Basin heavy mineral project, continued exploration of the North Perth and Eucla Basins, pursuit of joint venture and acquisition opportunities and general working capital.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

-
(c) The shares will be issued at a minimum issue price that is the higher of $1.20 per share or a price that is at least 80% of the average market price for the Company’s quoted shares, as calculated over the 5 trading days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue is to be made;
-
(d) The shares are proposed to be issued to professional and/or sophisticated investors who satisfy the definition contained in section 708(8) of the Corporations Act 2001. No shares are to be issued to any related party of the Company. The participants are not yet known;
-
(e) The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing shares on issue; and
-
(f) The intended use of the funds raised will be directed towards funding ongoing studies at the North Perth Basin heavy mineral project, continued exploration of the North Perth and Eucla Basins, pursuit of joint venture and acquisition opportunities and general working capital.
