NOTICE OF 2011 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement - 31 October 2011

1. 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, 16 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Tuesday 29 November 2011 at
11:00am (WST).
This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of 2011 Annual General Meeting.
2. Receiving Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act 2001 requires that the Annual Company Financial Statements and reports of the directors and the auditor be laid before
shareholders at every annual general meeting.
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the directors and the auditor in relation to the financial statements of the Company
that have been provided to shareholders with this Notice and Explanatory Statement at the Annual General Meeting.
3. Adoption of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires that at a listed company’s AGM, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted
must be put to the vote. This resolution will be non-binding on the directors and the Company and will be advisory only. The Remuneration
Report is incorporated into the Directors’ Report which in turn appears in the Annual Report.
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the directors in relation to the Remuneration Report of the Company.
4. Re-election of PS Thomas as a Director (Resolution 2)
The Company’s Constitution requires that one third of all directors (other than the managing director) retire by rotation each year. Mr Thomas will
retire at the meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
5. Ratification of Placement on 5 April 2011 (Resolution 3)

securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue and allotment of shares outlined in Resolution 3 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 so as 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 3 of the Notice of General Meeting proposes the ratification for the issue of 1,200,000 Shares as announced on 4 April 2011, 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:
1,200,000 Shares
(b)
Price at which the securities were issued:
$0.5124 cents per Share
(c)
The Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing shares on issue and have been voluntarily escrowed for 12 months until
4 April 2012.
(d)
The shares were issued to Iluka Resources Limited as part consideration for the acquisition of mining tenements;
(e)
No funds were raised from the issue of shares.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

6. Ratification of Placement on 12 October 2011 (Resolution 4) ASX Listing Rule Requirements

The issue and allotment of shares outlined in Resolution 4 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.

Corporations Act 2001 Requirements
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”) prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a company from giving a financial benefit to a related

them.

NOTICE OF 2011 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement - 31 October 2011

Section 195 of the Act provides, in essence, that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered. As Messrs Sakalidis, Thomson and Thomas may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of resolutions 6, 7 and 8, it was arguable whether a quorum could be formed to consider the matter at Board level other than under section 195(4) of the Act which permits directors to resolve (as they did in this instance) to put matters in which either one of them have a material personal interest to shareholders for consideration and resolution.

The Act prohibits a public company which is listed on ASX from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless the benefit falls within one of various exceptions to that general prohibition. Exceptions include where:

  • the company first obtains the approval of shareholders in general meeting where the pre-conditions set out in the Act have been complied with in relation to the resolution; or

  • the terms and conditions upon which the financial benefit is being given are not more favourable to the related party than those on which it is reasonable to expect that the company would give the benefit if dealing with the related party at arm’s length in the same circumstances; or

  • the financial benefit is paid or provided as remuneration to a person in a capacity as a director of the company and it is reasonable for a company in the company’s circumstances to pay or provide that remuneration to a director in the person’s circumstances.

  • A “related party” for the purposes of the Act is defined widely. It includes a director of the public company and specified members of the director’s family. It also includes an entity over which a director maintains control.

A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Act has a very wide meaning. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate.

ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires, as a general rule, the issue of securities to a director to be approved first by shareholders in circumstances where certain information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 has been provided to shareholders; this Explanatory Statement provides that information. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Application of Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules to Proposal

The provisions of Chapter 2E and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 apply to the proposed issue of Options to Messrs Sakalidis, Thomson and Thomas (the parties to whom resolutions 6, 7 and 8 relate) as they are related parties (by virtue of section 228 of the Act) to whom the proposed resolutions would permit financial benefits to be given.

ASX’s Corporate Governance Guidelines

The granting of options to executive directors falls within the guidelines recommended in Principle 8 of the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments. The Company is aware that the granting of options to non-executive directors is a departure from these guidelines. The Company's Corporate Governance and Policies Manual includes a Remuneration Policy which states that:

  • " The Remuneration Committee (“ committee ”) makes decisions with respect to appropriate and competitive remuneration and incentive policies (including basis for paying and the quantum of any bonuses), for key management personnel and others as considered appropriate to be singled out for special attention, which:

  • motivates them to contribute to the growth and success of the Company within an appropriate control framework; and

  • aligns the interests of key leadership with the interests of the Company’s shareholders;

are paid within the any limits imposed by the Constitution and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the need for increases to any such amount at the Company’s annual general meeting;

  • in the case of directors, only permits participation in equity-based remuneration schemes after appropriate disclosure to, due consideration by and with the approval of the Company’s shareholders. "

This resolution is being put for consideration by the shareholders in compliance with that Policy and on the basis of disclosures made in this document.

Share Trading History

The price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX over the twelve month period ending 20 October 2011 has ranged from a low of $0.31 on 14 October 2010 and 8 August 2011 to a high of $0.62 on 11 April 2011. The latest available closing price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX, prior to the date of this Explanatory Statement on 28 October 2011 was $0.345.

The exercise price for the Options will be 50% higher than (or 1.5 multiple of) the average of 5 days Volume Weighted Average Share Price ending on a date selected by the directors within one month after the Annual General Meeting at which the approval to issue the Options was given.

Valuation of equity based remuneration

An independent expert has determined a value of $0.1514 for each Option proposed to be granted.

The Directors requested SomesCooke Chartered Accountants and Auditors of the Company, to provide, as an expert, the valuation of the

Page 7

NOTICE OF 2011 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement - 31 October 2011

Options proposed to be granted to the related parties for inclusion in this Explanatory Statement. That request was made and the resulting valuation is provided in compliance with ASIC’s policy that options must, in the circumstances, be valued by an independent expert (in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) accounting standard AASB 2 Share-based payment) and that value be disclosed to shareholders.

Accounting standard AASB 2 prescribes that if market prices are not available, the entity shall estimate the fair value of the equity instruments granted using a valuation technique to estimate what the price of those equity instruments would have been on the measurement date in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. The valuation technique shall be consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies for pricing financial instruments, and shall incorporate all factors and assumptions that knowledgeable, willing market participants would consider in setting the price.

Accounting standard AASB 2 acknowledges the possibility that it may not be possible to estimate reliably the fair value of the equity instruments in accordance with the requirements of the standard. The directors endorse that acknowledgement and consider it directly relevant in the circumstances – in the result they do not adopt the independent expert valuation as which they believe manifestly exceeds the best sale price that could be achieved if the options were granted and sold today.

By letter dated 20 October 2011, SomesCooke valued the Options using a theoretical valuation being the Binomial Option Pricing Model. The model valued the Options as American Call Options with a strike price equal to 150% of the average of 5 days volume weighted average share price ending on the date of the valuation. The modelling took into account that it is expected that the Options will be held to expiry in five years time, there are no vesting conditions and the expected dividend yield is 0%. SomesCooke calculated the value using a volatility factor of 76% (calculated over a five year term ending on the day prior to the date of the valuation), an underlying share price of $0.335, a strike price for the option of $0.50 and then applied a discount factor of 20% to the resultant option pricing. The discount factor was applied on the basis that the Options will be unlisted and consequently there will be an associated lack of marketability.

Based on the above, SomesCooke have ascribed a discounted current value of $0.1514 per Option for each of the 2.2 million Options giving a total valuation for all Options to be issued of $333,080.

The Options will, at the date of approval, have a value determined by reference to the potential value that might be derived from any increase in the value of fully paid shares during the currency of the Options. It is this potential value uplift that is a key reason for the proposal that the Options be issued to the directors so as to motivate them to achieve that outcome which will likely benefit all shareholders.

Dilution Effect and Costs of Issue

The potential cost to the Company of the issue of 2,200,000 Options pursuant to resolutions 6, 7 and 8 is that there will be a dilution of the issued share capital if the Options are exercised. Based on 93,788,959 shares currently on issue, the exercise of the proposed Options would have a dilution effect of approximately 2.35% on non-associated shareholders’ interests in the Company. The issue of the Options will not restrict the Company's ability to issue further securities as it sees fit and should it do so, that will further diminish the potential dilution impact of the Options.

The opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in respect of the proposed issue of Options are:

  • the price at which the Options might have been issued pursuant to an arm’s length transaction for cash (or other value);

  • if the Options are exercised at a time when the market price of the Company’s shares is greater than the exercise price of the Options, there will be a detriment insofar as the Company will be required to issue shares at a price lower than it might otherwise have then been able to, with the result that less funds will be raised for the number of shares issued.

If the options are exercised they will raise approximately $1,138,500 (based on the closing share price on the day prior to the date of this notice).

Capital Structure

The change in capital structure of the Company as a result of the proposed issue of Options will be as follows:

Before New Issues:

Peter Thomas 1,100,306 650,000 500,000

Rationale for the proposal – the opportunity benefit

The issue of Options as proposed is thought by the board to be justified because:

  • it will provide directors with an opportunity to participate in the Company's future growth thus incentivising and rewarding them for their future contribution to that growth;

  • the directors will thereby have a vested interest in the affairs of the Company and in increasing the market value of its securities - thus they will have a common interest with all shareholders. If they benefit from the options then all shareholders will benefit;

  • the issue of Options has the benefit of conserving cash whilst motivating the directors;

  • the real cost to the Company will be the cost at which the options could actually be issued on arms length (not the theoretical valuation) terms; they will not result in dilution of shareholders’ equity unless they are exercised;

  • the exercise of the Options will provide working capital for the Company;

  • if all the Options proposed to be issued pursuant to resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are exercised, and the exercise price happens to be $0.5175, an amount of approximately $1,138,500 will be raised;
