EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

$11$ Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at Level 1, 173 Mounts Bay Road, Perth, Western Australia on 10 July 2007 at 10am.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions set out in the Notice

A Proxy Form is located at the end of the Explanatory Memorandum.

General $21$

$2.1$ Introduction

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the following:

  • $(a)$ The completion of the Asset Sale Agreement under which the Company:
  • will in consideration for US\$5,000,000 (of which US\$3,000,000 is $(i)$ contingent upon meeting a key regulatory milestone relating to the advancement of the Saulyak Gold Project; which Eurogold cannot determine whether or when this will be satisfied), assign and sell the Sale Assets to RIL: and
  • $(ii)$ become an investing company under the AIM Rules.
  • The issue of up to 2,000,000 Director Options to each of the Directors in lieu $(b)$ of (or in the case of Mr Gunzburg partly in lieu of) monetary compensation for acting as directors of Eurogold.

$2.2$ Eurogold Group

A corporate chart for the Eurogold Group is in Schedule 3. The main assets of the Eurogold Group are its 99.72% interest in the Saulvak Gold Project (which is held by SRL). the Debts and a loan owing by ZLLC to SRL.

Under the Asset Sale Agreement, the Eurogold Group will sell these assets to RIL.

2.3 Asset Sale Agreement

On 22 May 2007 the Company announced that it had entered into the Asset Sale Agreement. The material terms of the Asset Sale Agreement are as follows:

FBL sells all of its shares in SRL to RIL. $(a)$

  • $(b)$ The Company assigns the Debts to RIL.
  • $(c)$ The consideration for the sale and assignment is US\$5,000,000 to be paid as follows.
  • $(i)$ US\$2,000,000 upon completion of the Asset Sale Agreement.
  • US\$3,000,000 no later than 30 days after meeting a key regulatory $(ii)$ milestone relating to the advancement of the Saulvak Gold Project.
  • RIL must by 2 June 2007 pay US\$2,000,000 to Eurogold's lawyers to be held $(d)$ pending satisfaction of the conditions precedent to completion.
  • Eurogold's right to receive US\$3,000,000 upon meeting a key regulatory $(e)$ milestone relating to the advancement of the Saulvak Gold Project is secured by a share pledge over all of the shares in SRL.
  • $(f)$ Eurogold appoints RIL as its agent to manage the business of SRL, as directed by Eurogold. RIL will advance up to US\$45,000 per month to meet SLLC's cash calls. These amounts may not be set off against the consideration payable to Eurogold or if the Asset Sale Agreement does not complete.
  • $(q)$ The Asset Sale Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the shareholders of Eurogold and RIL being reasonably satisfied with the Entity Due Diligence Documents.
  • $(h)$ Completion of the Asset Sale Agreement is to occur on the third Business Day after all condition precedents have been satisfied (due by 30 June 2007) or when the parties agree.
  • The Asset Sale Agreement contains limited warranties to the title of the Sale $(i)$ Assets

2.4 Future of the Eurogold Group after completion of the Asset Sale Aareement

After completion of the Asset Sale Agreement:

  • the Eurogold Group will only comprise of Eurogold, 100% of EHBL and $(a)$ Esmeralda Mining Limited (which is in the process of being deregistered);
  • $(b)$ the Eurogold Group will have as its only asset \$US2,000,000, its right to US\$3,000,000 upon meeting a key regulatory milestone relating to the advancement of the Saulyak Gold Project (which Eurogold cannot determine whether or when this will be satisfied) and its claim against Oxus; and
  • Eurogold will become an investing company for the purposes of the AIM $(c)$ Rules.

Completion of the Asset Sale Agreement will not prejudice the prospects of Eurogold's claims against Oxus.

As an investing company. Eurogold will have to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 within twelve months of the Shareholders approving Resolution 1 (namely authorising the Asset Sale Agreement).

If the Company does not make an acquisition constituting a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules within this timeframe, its Shares will be automatically suspended from AIM. If it does not make such an acquisition within six months from any such suspension, the London Stock Exchange will cancel the admission of its Shares on AIM.

$2.5$ Investing strategy going forward

As an investing company (on the basis the Asset Sale Agreement is approved by Shareholders and completed). Eurogold intends to actively seek out investment opportunities through the contacts, experience and knowledge of the Directors, Investment opportunities identified by the Company will be assessed on the following criteria:

  • natural resources sector (both minerals and energy) with the investment being $(a)$ potentially made in any part of the world;
  • $(b)$ an attractive entry price:
  • $(c)$ a favourable risk/reward equation with substantial potential upside; and
  • likely capital market support for the project. $(d)$

It is expected that the Company will seek to acquire one significant project rather than make a spread of smaller investments.

The Directors are experienced in evaluating acquisition and investment opportunities in the natural resources sector and are able to call on independent expertise in the sector. The Company currently has a Board of Directors who between them have considerable investment and commercial expertise (full details of the Directors' experience and expertise are in Eurogold's July 2004 AIM Admission Document). The composition of the Board will be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they have the appropriate mix of skills necessary for the objectives of the Company.

The Directors will consider causing the Company to return its funds to Shareholders in the event they are unable to secure a suitable investment within a period of eighteen months following the approval of the Asset Sale Agreement by Shareholders.

$2.6$ Advantages and disadvantages of the Asset Sale Agreement

The advantages and disadvantages of the Asset Sale Agreement are as follows:

  • $(a)$ Advantages:
  • Corporate Strategy Eurogold's corporate strategy is identifying $(i)$ undervalued natural resource projects and creating value for Shareholders by undertaking additional exploration and then onselling the projects. Disposing the Sale Assets will allow Eurogold to acquire exploration projects consistent with Eurogold's corporate strategy.
  • $(ii)$ Sovereign risk - The Ukrainian political scene is undergoing dramatic and constant change as it evolves from a communist to a free market economy and as a consequence there is still a degree of sovereign risk associated with the country.
  • $(iii)$ RIL is better placed to pursue development of the Saulyak Gold Project - The development of the Saulyak Gold Project requires significant further capital and project development expertise. RIL is in a better position to fund and manage the development of the Saulvak Gold Project.

  • $(iv)$ Consideration - The Directors have extensively marketed the Sale Assets and are satisfied that the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement the best possible price attainable for the Sale Assets.

  • Share price Eurogold's Directors believe the Company's Share $(v)$ price is depressed for the following reasons:
  • $(A)$ The liquidation of Transgold following the events of January 2000 when cyanide contaminated dam water at the Company's Transgold operations and its subsequent closure in January 2006 due to frozen water pipes.
  • $(B)$ Termination by Oxus of agreements to acquire the Saulyak and Beregove Projects and misleading statements made by Oxus to the effect that:
    • $(1)$ Eurogold had sought an extension of its licence to explore the Saulvak Gold Deposit from the Ukraine Authorities which had been refused: and
    • $(2)$ the reserve of the Saulyak Gold Deposit was smaller in volume and grade than that reported to the ASX.
  • $(C)$ Uncertainty over sovereign risk.
  • Ongoing funding of the Saulyak Gold Project If the Asset Sale $(vi)$ Agreement does not complete the Company will be required to raise additional capital to fund exploration work on the Saulvak Gold Project.
  • $(b)$ Disadvantages
  • Eurogold's only asset will be US\$2,000,000, its right to US\$3,000,000 $(i)$ upon meeting a key regulatory milestone relating to the advancement of the Saulvak Gold Project (which Eurogold cannot determine whether or when this will be satisfied) and its claim against Oxus and will have no direct exposure to resource assets. As a consequence Eurogold may be subject to additional ASX Listing Rule requirements.
  • $(ii)$ Eurogold will become an investing company pursuant to the AIM Rules and as such will have a limited period to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 or face the possibility of having its Shares suspended from trading on AIM or its AIM Admission cancelled (refer to section 2.4).
  • There is a risk that the key regulatory milestone relating to the $(iii)$ advancement of the Saulyak Gold Project may not be met and Eurogold may not receive US\$3,000,000.
  • $(iv)$ There is a risk that Eurogold may not be able to locate and acquire suitable investment opportunities in the resources sector.

$2.7$ Proposed Option issue

At the Company's Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2006 Shareholders approved the issue of 35,000,000 Options with an exercise price of \$0.10 and an expiry date of 30 June 2009 to subscribers under the August 2006 Share Issue and 5,000,000 Shares each with one free attaching Options on the same terms to Mr Gunzburg.

Issue of the Options was subject to Eurogold lodging a prospectus with ASIC.

Following the Annual General Meeting the Company entered into the Asset Sale Agreement. As a consequence the Board has decided to delay lodging a prospectus, a requirement to the issue of the Options, until a suitable investment opportunity is found - meaning that no Options have been issued to subscribers under the August 2006 Share Issue (including Mr Gunzburg).

Eurogold will seek Shareholder approval to reconfirm the grant of 40,000,000 Options to subscribers under the August 2006 Share Issue (including Mr Gunzburg) and, if necessary, propose any change to the terms of the Options, when a suitable investment opportunity is found.

$2.8$ Directors' Recommendation

The Directors consider that having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned, and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Asset Sale Agreement by voting for Resolution 1.

Resolution 1 - Approve Asset Sale Agreement $31$

$3.1$ Reason for Resolution 1

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders' approval pursuant to AIM Rule 15 and ASX Listing Rule 11.2 for the Company to complete the Asset Sale Agreement, under which it will dispose of the Sale Assets.

AIM Rule 15 and ASX Listing Rule 11.2 restrict the Company's ability to dispose of its main undertaking without Shareholder approval.

The effect of passing Resolution 1 will be to:

  • $(a)$ allow the Company to dispose of its main undertaking to RIL by completing the Asset Sale Agreement without breaching AIM Rule 15 or ASX Listing Rule $11.2$ ; and
  • $(b)$ cause the Company to become an investing company (as defined in the AIM Rules).

$3.2$ Specific Information Required by AIM Rule 15 and ASX Listing Rule 11.2

For the purposes of AIM Rule 15 and ASX Listing Rule 11.2, information regarding the Asset Sale Agreement is provided as follows:

  • $(a)$ This Explanatory Memorandum sets out:
  • $(i)$ the effect of the Asset Sale Agreement on the Company; and
  • whether the Asset Sale Agreement is fair and reasonable to $(ii)$ Shareholders.
  • $(b)$ A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Resolutions 2 to 4 - Authorise Issue of Director Options $\overline{\mathbf{A}}$ .

$4.1$ Introduction

Eurogold's Directors, Messrs Peter Gunzburg, Neil MacLachlan and Brett Montgomery, receive remuneration of A\$200,000, GBP15,000 and A\$25,000 (plus GST) respectively. To minimise cash expenditure, Eurogold proposes to offer 2,000,000

Director Options to each of the Directors in lieu of (or in the case of Mr Gunzburg partly in lieu of) monetary compensation for acting as directors of Eurogold. Each Director will have the choice of whether they accept the Director Options in lieu of (or in the case of Mr Gunzburg partly in lieu of) monetary compensation for acting as directors of Eurogold and they may not accept less than all of the Director Options offered to them.

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for Eurogold to grant 2,000,000 Director Options to each of the Directors in lieu of monetary compensation (or in the case of Mr Gunzburg in lieu of A\$100.000). Eurogold will rely on the exceptions in section 708 of the Corporations Act to offer the Directors Options without disclosure.

$4.2$ Reason for Resolutions 2 to 4

Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act because the Directors are related parties of the Company.

Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act restrict the Company's ability to issue equity securities to a Director, unless approval is obtained from the Shareholders. The effect of passing Resolutions 2 to 4 will be to allow Eurogold to offer, in lieu of monetary compensation (or in the case of Mr Gunzburg in lieu of A\$100,000), 2,000,000 Director Options each to the Directors during the month after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX) in compliance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, without breaching ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval is required under section 208 (contained in Chapter 3E) of the Corporations Act because the Directors are related parties of the Company. Whilst the issue of Director Options is in lieu of monetary payment for directors' fees, and therefore falls within the exceptions for the need to obtain Shareholder approval, the Directors consider that in the interests of good corporate governance, the matter is put to Shareholders.

Resolutions 2 to 4 are separate resolutions and are in no way dependent on each other.

4.3 Specific Information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act

For the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act the following information regarding the issue of Director Options is provided:

  • The related parties to whom Resolutions 2 to 4 would permit financial benefits $(a)$ to be given are Peter Gunzburg, Neil MacLachlan and Brett Montgomery.
  • The nature of the financial benefits are 2,000,000 Director Options each to $(b)$ Peter Gunzburg, Neil MacLachlan and Brett Montgomery.
  • The Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 to 4. $(c)$ Nevertheless they each recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 to 4 so that Eurogold will conserve cash.
  • A valuation of the Director Options has been obtained from BDO Kendalls $(d)$ Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd, an independent expert.

This valuation imputes a value for Director Options to be issued to the Directors in accordance with Resolutions 2 to 4 as \$0.008 per Director Option or \$48,000 in total (prior to any adjustments for expected early exercise). The value may go up or down after the issue date as it will depend on the future price of a Share. The Binominal approach has been used, together with the following assumptions:

  • $(i)$ The date of valuation for the purposes of settling the current market value of a Director Option is 1 June 2007.
  • $(ii)$ At 31 May 2007 the closing Share price was determined to be \$0.0.022 which is the price used in the valuation.
  • The volatility factor is set as 60% which is based on the average $(iii)$ historical standard deviation of the Company to the All Ordinaries Index as provided by the Australian Graduate School of Management.
  • $(iv)$ The Company has not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the valuation, it was assumed that the Company's share price is "ex-dividend".
  • For the purposes of the valuation it was assumed that the Director $(v)$ Options will not be exercised any earlier than the expiration date.
  • The risk free rate used for the purposes of the valuation is the $(vi)$ Commonwealth Government securities rate with a maturity date approximating that of the expiration period of the options, as at 1 June 2007 being 6.25% (Source: Reserve Bank of Australia).
  • $(e)$ The following table demonstrates the dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings in the Company, upon exercise of all Director Options issued to Directors in accordance with Resolutions 2 to 4:
Dilution Effect of issues to related parties 0.01878%
Shares issued assuming exercise of all Director Options
under Resolutions 4 to 6
6,000,000
Shares on issue at date of this Explanatory Memorandum 319,679,494
  • $(f)$ The market price of Shares would normally determine whether the Directors will exercise the Director Options or not. If the Director Options are exercised at a price that is lower than the price at which Shares are trading on ASX. there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
  • No funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Options as they are being $(g)$ issued in consideration for Directors foregoing payment of directors' fees.
  • $(h)$ The Directors' remuneration (both current and if Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed) are as follows:
Current remuneration Following issue of Director
Options
Peter Gunzburg Fees of \$200,000 Fees of \$100,000 plus 9%
superannuation per annum
2,000,000 Director Options
Neil MacLachlan Fees of GBP15,000 2,000,000 Director Options
Brett Montgomery Fees of A\$25,000 plus
GST
2,000,000 Director Options

1 This assumes that each Director elects to accept Director Options in lieu of monetary payment for their directors' fees.

$(i)$ The Directors' interests in the Company (both current and if Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed) are as follows:

Current interest Following issue of Director
Options 1
Peter Gunzburg 31,746,879 Shares 2 31,746,879 Shares
2,000,000 Director Options
Neil MacLachlan 2,200,000 Shares 2,200,000 Shares
2,000,000 Director Options
Brett Montgomery 2,200,000 Shares 2,200,000 Shares
2,000,000 Director Options

1 This assumes that each Director elects to accept Director Options in lieu of monetary payment for their directors' fees.

$2$ Eurogold has also agreed to, subject to lodging a prospectus and shareholder approval, grant 40,000,000 Options to persons that subscribed for Shares in the August 2006 Share Issue. Mr Gunzburg is participated in the August 2006 Share Issue and (subject to Eurogold lodging a prospectus and shareholder approval) is entitled to be granted 5,000,000 Options. See Section 2.7 for details.

The trading history of the Company's Share price over the last 12 months as $(i)$ follows:

Highest \$0.10
Lowest \$0.017
Closing price on 31 May 2007 \$0.022

$(k)$ Other than the information above and otherwise set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 2 to 4.

4.4 Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, information regarding the issue of Director Options is provided as follows:

  • The Director Options will be issued to Peter Gunzburg, Neil MacLachlan and $(a)$ Brett Montgomery, who are directors of the Company, or their nominees.
  • The maximum number of Director Options the Company can issue under $(b)$ Resolutions 4 to 6 is 6,000,000.
  • The Director Options will be issued progressively no later than one month after $(c)$ the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).
  • The Director Options will be issued by the Company in consideration for the $(d)$ Directors acting as directors of Eurogold and in lieu of monetary payment for their directors' fees.
  • $(e)$ The terms of the Director Options are in Schedule 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum.

  • $(f)$ No funds will be raised by the issue of Director Options as the Director Options are being issued in lieu of Directors being paid directors' fees.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. $(g)$
