Global Geoscience Limited (ACN 098 564 606) Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum sets out further information regarding the proposed resolutions to be considered by Shareholders of Global Geoscience Limited (Company) at the 2012 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held commencing 10.00 am on Thursday, 22 November 2012, at the offices of BDJ Partners, Level 13, 122 Arthur Street, North Sydney NSW. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement before determining whether or not to support the Resolutions.

Financial Report and Reports of the Directors and Auditors

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report of the Company, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the most recent financial year will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions about the reports, or the Company generally. The auditor of the Company will be available at the meeting to answer any questions in relation to the Auditor's Report or the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

Resolution 1 provides Shareholders the opportunity to vote on the Company's Remuneration Report. Under Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the adoption of its Remuneration Report to the vote at its Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors' Report commencing at page 16. This vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the following annual general meeting (Following AGM), the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company (Spill Resolution).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the Following AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

It is noted that at the Company's 2011 AGM, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report was less that 25% and accordingly a Spill Resolution is not required for this AGM.

The remuneration report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Director

Under Rule 6.4 of the Company's Constitution one third of the Company's Directors or the number nearest to one-third, of the Company's longest serving Directors since the last election or re-election, and not including a Director appointed by the remaining Directors either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, must retire unless re-elected. Each retiring Director is eligible for re-election in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Company's Constitution.

Resolution 2 provides for the re-election of Mr Patrick Elliott as a Director of the Company in accordance with the Company's Constitution.

The Directors support the re-election of Mr Patrick Elliott and recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Ratification of Share Issue

On 17th February 2012 the Company announced that it had raised \$852,000 through the issue of 14,200,000 Shares at an issue price of \$0.06 per Share to Osisko Mining Corporation (Osisko).

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of equity securities that a listed company may issue in any 12 month period, without shareholder approval, to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the start of the period, subject to certain adjustments and permitted exceptions. In calculating the 15% limit, the entity is entitled to deduct any ordinary securities issued in the 12 month period that were issued with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, those securities shall be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
