EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction $\blacksquare$

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the AGM to be held at the offices of Ernst & Young, Level 34, Central Park, 152 -158 St George's Terrace, Perth, Western Australia at 1:00 pm on Thursday, 27 November 2003.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information which is material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the resolutions set out in the Notice.

Resolution 1 - Election of Mr Peter L Gunzburg $\overline{2}$

Article 12.3 of the Constitution provides that one third of the Directors shall retire from office at every annual general meeting of the Company and that it is the Director who has been the longest in office who is to retire pursuant to this article.

Directors retiring pursuant to this article are eligible for re-election. Mr Gunzburg is the Director who has been the longest in office. Accordingly, he retires in accordance with article 12.3 of the Constitution and is eligible for re-election.

Mr Gunzburg was appointed as Executive Chairman of the Company on 24 September 2001.

He has a Bachelors Degree in Commerce from the University of Western Australia.

He has 20 years experience as a stockbroker and has previously been a director of Resolute Ltd. Australian Stock Exchange Limited. Evres Reed Ltd and CIBC Worldmarkets Australia Limited.

He is also the Chairman of Fleetwood Corporation and PieNetworks Ltd both of which are companies listed on ASX.

Mr Gunzburg is the largest Shareholder of the Company.

Mr Gunzburg's appointment will take effect from the end of the AGM.

Resolution 2 - Authorise Placement Facility $\overline{3}$

$3.1$ General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval and authorisation pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the Directors to allot and issue up to 10,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of at least 80% of the average market price of the Shares calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.3 at the date(s) of issue.

$3.2$ Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 specific information regarding the Placement Facility is provided as follows:

  • $(a)$ The maximum number of Shares the Company can issue is 10,000,000.
  • $(b)$ The Company will issue the Shares no later than 3 months after the date of the AGM (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2).
  • $(c)$ The issue price of each of the 10,000,000 Shares will be at least 80% of the average market price of the Shares calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.3 at the date(s) of issue.
  • $(d)$ The Shares will be allotted to persons whom the Directors shall determine but the Shares will not be issued to related parties of the Company.
  • $(e)$ The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
  • $(f)$ Allotment will occur progressively.
  • $(q)$ The Company intends to use the funds raised by the Placement Facility for ongoing exploration working capital and the corporate and administrative activities of the Company including (without limitation); the continuation of a drilling campaign on the Explorer S.A. Romanian licences, Bixad Racsa-Zugau and Racsa Sud Est. (all of which are advanced exploration projects of which two already have established inferred resources) and funding the operation of the Perth office which costs approximately \$300,000 per annum.
  • $(h)$ A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice at paragraph 3.2.

$3.3$ Reason Authorisation Required

ASX Listed Rule 7.1 states that a company in any 12 month period may only issue equity securities which in total equal 15% of its issued capital.

The Company does not wish to use its 15% placement capacity to make the Facility Placement and therefore seeks Shareholder authorisation in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

$3.4$ Directors Recommendation Resolution 2

The Directors are of the opinion that resolution 2 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of it.

Action to be Taken by Shareholders $\mathbf{A}$

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a "proxy") to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the AGM or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided.
