EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 9:00am (WST) on 16 November 2009 at the Holiday Inn, City Centre Perth, 788 Hay Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.capelam.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

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 2009.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

3.1 General

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 Director must retire.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

7

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

Mr Timothy Turner retires by rotation and seeks re-election. A summary of Mr Timothy Turner is contained in the 2009 Annual Report.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

4.1 General

As announced on 2 September 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to make a 30% investment in Marampa Iron Ore Limited, the owner of the exploration stage Marampa Iron Ore Project in Sierra Leone ( Marampa Transaction ). The Marampa Transaction completed on 1 October 2008.

The Company announced on 22 January 2009 that it had entered into a further agreement with Marampa pursuant to which the Company subscribed for further shares in Marampa to take its interests in Marampa to 35%. The consideration payable by the Company was the issue of 17,000,000 Shares. These Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% capacity ( Further Marampa Transaction ).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares to Marampa Iron Ore Limited pursuant to the Further Marampa Transaction ( Share Ratification ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:

  • (a) 17,000,000 Shares were allotted;

  • (b) the Shares were issued for nil cash consideration as they were issued in consideration for the acquisition of a further 5% interest in Marampa Iron Ore Limited;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were allotted and issued to Marampa Iron Ore Limited, which is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Shares were issued in consideration for the acquisition of a further 5% interest in Marampa Iron Ore Limited.

8

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

5.1 General

As previously advised, the Company has signed a binding heads of agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of MOJO Mining Pty Ltd ( MOJO ) in consideration for the issue of 3,976,729 Shares.

MOJO holds 15 contiguous exploration tenements covering 5,000km[2] in the southern portion of the Mt Isa Block in Queensland. These tenements have been subjected to aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity assessment that identified geophysical anomalies prospective for copper, zinc-lead-silver, phosphate and uranium.

The tenement package held by MOJO is contiguous to the 38,000km[2] tenement package held by 100% owned Cape Lambert subsidiary Australis Exploration Pty Ltd and south of the Lady Annie and Lady Loretta Projects.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.1.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares to the Shareholders of MOJO during the period of 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or a longer period if allowed by ASX) without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

None of the persons receiving the Shares are related parties of the Company.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) 3,976,729 Shares will be issued;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of MOJO, none of whom are related parties of the Company;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued on the same terms as existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such other date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on one date; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as they are being issued in consideration for the acquisition of MOJO.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5, 6 AND 7 – ALLOCATION OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS

6.1 General

Prior to completion of the CopperCo Transaction, a restructure was undertaken to ensure that the Company did not acquire a relevant interest in more than 20% of any of Corvette Resources Limited ( Corvette ), Buka Gold Limited, Tianshan Goldfields Limited or NiPlats Australia Limited ( Restructure ). This was achieved by the shares exceeding 20% in these companies being sold to CopperCo or an entity controlled by CopperCo ( Excess Shares ). Pursuant to the Restructure, the

9

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

Company is to receive the benefit of any consideration ultimately obtained for the Excess Shares by the Receiver for CopperCo and the CopperCo controlled entity ( Receiver ).

As previously announced the Company made a takeover offer for all of the Shares in Corvette Resources Limited ( Corvette ) ( Takeover Bid ). As a result of the Takeover Bid, the Company acquired approximately 46% of the Shares in Corvette. The Company issued 12,822,591 Shares to satisfy the acceptances pursuant to the Takeover Bid.

The Receiver accepted the Takeover Bid in respect of Corvette Shares that it held pursuant to the Restructure and received 6,996,784 Shares.

Rather than cancel the 6,996,784 Shares (which represents 1.3% of the Company), the Directors resolved to allocate the Shares to employees, consultants and Directors of the Company who have played a significant role in the growth of the Company in recent years. The Shares will be escrowed until 30 June 2010.

It is proposed to allocate a total of 2,576,784 Shares to Directors Messrs Tony Sage, Timothy Turner and Brian Maher, subject to receipt of Shareholder approval. The remaining 4,420,000 Shares will be allocated to employees and consultants of the Company. It should be noted that these are not new Shares being issued, rather they are already existing Shares on issue resulting from the Takeover Bid.

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The allocation of Shares to the Directors requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the Shares constitute giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Messrs Tony Sage, Tim Turner and Brian Maher are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the allocation of Shares to the Directors.

6.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed allocation of Shares to the Directors:

(a) the related parties are Messrs Tony Sage, Tim Turner and Brian Maher and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

10

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be allocated to the related parties is:

  • (i) 1,826,784 Shares to Mr Tony Sage (or his nominee);

  • (ii) 400,000 Shares to Mr Tim Turner (or his nominee); and

  • (iii) 350,000 Shares to Mr Brian Maher (or his nominee);

  • (c) the Shares will be allocated to the Directors from the Receiver no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be allocated on one date;

  • (d) the Shares will be allocated for nil cash consideration accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Shares will rank equally with other Shares on issue;

  • (f) the value of the Shares is estimated to be $1,175,014 and has been determined by applying a discount factor of 5% to the closing Share price on 8 Oct 2009 of $0.48. A discount factor is considered appropriate given that the Shares will be in escrow to 30 June 2010;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below;

are set out below;
Related Party Shares Options
Mr Sage 26,939,761 Nil
Mr Turner 1,000,000 Nil

(h) the remuneration from the Company to the Directors and their associates (for their roles as Directors and also consultancy arrangements with the Company) for both the current financial year and previous financial year are set out below:

  • The other payments relate to fees paid by the Company to entities associated with the Directors for consulting services to the Company pursuant to agreements.

11

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

(i) if the Shares are allocated to the Directors there will be no change to the number of Shares on issue as the Shares are already on issue. The Shares represent approximately 0.5% of the Company and it will result in the Directors holding the following number of Shares.

Related Party Shares %
Mr Sage 28,766,545 5.36%
Mr Tuner 1,400,000 0.26%
Mr Maher 1,365,000 0.25%

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.50 18, 21/22, 24/25 Sep 09
Lowest $0.16 20/21 Nov 08
Last $0.48 8 Oct 09

(k) the primary purpose of the allocation of the Shares to the Directors is in recognition of their involvement in identifying, securing and negotiating significant transactions (further details of which are set out in this Explanatory Statement) and to provide cost effective consideration to the Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors. The Shares are already on issue and will be escrowed until 30 June 2010. The alternative options available to the Company in respect of these Shares, include the sale of the Shares (which would result in funds received by the Company), transfer of the Shares to non related parties or the cancellation of the Shares which would result in an increase NTA per Share. There are opportunity costs to the Company in making this decision. Accordingly, the Directors have determined it both necessary and appropriate to seek Shareholder approval to proceed with the option contemplated by Resolutions 5 to 7;

(l) in respect of Resolutions 6 and 7:

  • as advised by the Company in 2008/2009 ASX announcements and its 2009 Annual Report, the Company’s focus is on acquiring, investing in and adding value to early stage mineral projects for development or sale. Details of the numerous and significant acquisitions made by the Company in the last financial year are set out in the 2009 Annual Report. Historically (and prospectively) acquisitions require the Company to have significant cash reserves available to it at the time of negotiation and acquisition;

  • the Company distributed to Shareholders $100m in the 2009 financial year and has stated in its 2009 Annual Report and this Explanatory Statement it intends to continue to distribute funds to Shareholders upon realisation of its assets;

  • commentary relating to ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation Policy 8.2 states (inter alia) that non executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees in the form of cash, non cash benefits, superannuation contributions or salary sacrifice into equity and should not receive options or bonus

12

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

payments (and the issue of these Shares to Messrs Turner and Maher may be considered a bonus payment); and

  • the Board acknowledges the allocation of Shares to Messrs Turner and Maher is contrary to this recommendation. However, the Board considers the allocation of Shares to those parties is an option available to Shareholders to consider and in the circumstances, is appropriate to put to Shareholders to consider whether to allocate Shares to the non executive directors as opposed to a cash payment, given the desire to ensure the Company maintains a strong cash position for future acquisitions of assets (in line with its historical and proposed business model) and distributions to Shareholders.

As outlined above, there are alternate options available in respect of these Shares and in respect of remunerating the non executive Directors. Accordingly, Shareholders should consider the above matters carefully before deciding how to vote on these Resolutions.

(m) Mr Tony Sage declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Board (other than Mr Tony Sage) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;

  • (n) Mr Tim Turner declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Board (other than Mr Tim Turner) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;

  • (o) Mr Brian Maher declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. The Board (other than Mr Brian Maher) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to allocate the Shares to Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and the Shares have already been issued in accordance with Exception 5 of the ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Accordingly, the allocation of Shares to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTION 8 – DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

7.1 General

Clause 13.7 of the Constitution requires that the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors from time to time will not exceed the sum

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares. This sum does not include fees paid to executive Directors or to Directors for extra services performed on behalf of the Company or its business. Rather it relates to non executive’s Directors fees.

Total remuneration for non executive Directors has not increased by any significant amount since 2001 when the Company was called Hamill Resources Limited. Since that time, the Company’s market capitalisation has increased substantially and the Company has significantly grown to become a Company with a multi commodity and geographically diverse portfolio of mineral assets and investments.

In the past 12 months, during a period of significant uncertainty in global financial markets, Cape Lambert has completed the following milestones:

  • (a) sold its namesake iron ore asset in Western Australia to Chinese group MCC for $400 million (receiving $320 million in cash with the final payment of $80 million deferred until the second half of 2010);

  • (b) returned A$100 million to Shareholders via a special dividend and return of capital;

  • (c) acquired a 35% interest in the Marampa iron ore project located in Sierra Leone, West Africa for a scrip consideration valued at approximately US$20 million;

  • (d) acquired the assets of the former CopperCo group, which amongst other things includes the Lady Annie oxide copper mine in Queensland, Sappes gold project in Greece and a 25% interest in the high-grade, lead-zinc-silver Lady Loretta project also located in Queensland, for $120 million;

  • (e) entered into an agreement to acquire Mojo Mining Limited in a scrip deal valued at $1.75 million; and

  • (f) issued approximately $46 million in convertible notes to eight resources companies with significant project potential.

To date Cape Lambert, via its wholly owned subsidiary Dempsey Resources Limited, has converted two of the Convertible Notes, in Cauldron Energy (ASX: CXU) and DMC Mining (ASX: DMM), giving its’ stake in these 2 companies of 18.7% and 36.3% respectively.

Cape Lambert has also significantly enhanced its exposure to Australian and international institutions and funds in recent months, with approximately 25% of the Cape Lambert share register now held by these groups. Analyst coverage has also increased significantly, with a number of the major broking houses in Australia and Europe initiating coverage on the Company in 2009.

Accordingly, the Board considers it appropriate to increase the maximum remuneration payable to non executive Directors as considerably more time is involved in governing the Company and its assets.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non executive Directors by $600,000 from $150,000 to $750,000.

The total aggregate fixed sum per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX, the fact that the market capitalization of the

14

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

Company and asset composition has dramatically increased and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

8. RESOLUTION 9 – CHANGE OF NAME

A company may change its name by special resolution of Shareholders.

The Company proposes to change its name to “Cape Lambert Resources Limited’ to more accurately reflect the multi commodity and diverse portfolio of mineral assets and investments.

9. RESOLUTION 10 – DISPOSAL OF MAJOR ASSET

9.1 General

As announced to ASX on 7 May 2009, following a bid process, Cape Lambert and its wholly owned subsidiaries Cape Lambert MinSec Pty Ltd ( Cape Lambert MinSec ) and Cape Lambert Lady Annie Exploration Pty Ltd ( CLLA Exploration ) entered into sale agreements with CopperCo Limited (In Liquidation) (Receivers and Managers Appointed) ( CopperCo ) and its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Securities Limited ( Mineral Securities ) and other subsidiaries of CopperCo pursuant to which, amongst other things, the Company and CLLA Exploration agreed to acquire CopperCo’s key assets located in the region north-west of Mount Isa in Queensland, namely the Lady Annie Project and the surrounding package of exploration tenements.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to sell the Lady Annie Project held by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary CLLA Exploration to the Company’s child entity, Lady Annie Limited ( Lady Annie ).

Lady Annie is a wholly owned subsidiary of Q Copper Limited ( Q Copper ) which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Lady Annie and Q Copper were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in September 2009 for the purpose of entering into the Agreement for Sale of Assets (as summarised in Section 9.2) and acquiring the Lady Annie Project.

Further details of the Lady Annie Project are set out in Section 9.3.

Q Copper intends to seek a listing on the official list of ASX through an initial public offering pursuant to a prospectus prior to the end of 2009 ( Prospectus ). The amount of capital sought to be raised and the issue price of shares to be offered pursuant to the Prospectus is still being finalised. CLLA Exploration will retain between 5% and 10% of the shares in Q Copper and a representative of the Company will be appointed to the board of Q Copper.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.4, a listed entity must not, without shareholder approval, dispose of a major asset if, at the time of the disposal, it is aware that the entity acquiring the asset intends to issue or offer securities with a view to becoming listed.

Lady Annie is currently a child entity of the Company and the proposed sale of the Lady Annie Project will constitute the disposal of a major asset by the Company. Accordingly, Shareholder approval of the transaction is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.4.

9.2 Asset Sale Agreement

CLLA Exploration has entered into an asset sale agreement with Q Copper and Lady Annie pursuant to which CLLA Exploration has agreed to sell, and Lady Annie

15

9.3 Lady Annie Project

The Lady Annie Project is located approximately 100km north of Mt Isa in Queensland, Australia. Granted tenements held by the Lady Annie Project cover approximately 1,760km[2] and include 14 Mining Leases and 29 Exploration Permits for minerals. There are a further 46 exploration permit applications covering approximately 1,571km[2] .

The Lady Annie Project comprises an established oxide copper, heap leach, electrowinning and solvent extraction plant capable of producing approximately 25,000 tonnes per annum of copper cathode. Oxide copper ore was sourced from open pit mines at the Lady Annie and Mount Kelly deposits until mining was suspended in February 2009.

The total published Mineral Resources for the Lady Annie Project comprised 25.2 million tonnes at 0.9% Cu of oxide copper mineralisation (224,800 tonnes of contained copper metal) and 15.3 million tonnes at 0.8% Cu of sulphide copper mineralisation (125,400 tonnes of contained copper metal).

Considerable upside exists to discover additional oxide and sulphide copper resources, through a systematic program of near mine and regional exploration. There are several identified prospects within trucking distance of the established plant that have the potential to significantly increase the oxide copper resource inventory.

The existing identified oxide copper mineral resources are expected to be sufficient to underpin a mine life of approximately 4 to 5 years, once operations are reestablished, with potential extensions achievable from further exploration.

9.4

The Lady Annie Project to be sold pursuant to the Agreement for Sale of Assets consists of:

  • (a) goodwill;

  • (b) plant and equipment;

  • (c) inventory;

18

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

The Agreement for Sale of Assets specifically excludes the finished goods, trade receivables, trade creditors and the right to explore and mine phosphate on the Lady Annie Project.

9.5 Ongoing activities

The Company has significant cash reserves and a multi commodity and geographically diverse portfolio of mineral assets and investments. Its continual focus is on creating wealth for Shareholders by acquiring and adding value to early stage mineral assets for development or sale.

Following the sale of the Lady Annie Project and initial public offering of Q Copper, the Company will retain interests in a number of projects and shareholding, as detailed below.

Sale of Cape Lambert Magnetite Project to MCC Mining

During 2008, Cape Lambert sold its Pilbara namesake magnetite project to Chinese conglomerate China Metallurgical Group Corporation ( MCC ) and has received A$320 million of the A$400 million sale price. The final cash payment of A$80 million is to be paid by MCC on the grant of a mining lease and related construction approvals for the project.

Marampa Iron Ore Project

The Marampa Project is a brownfields exploration project located near the township of Lunsar in Sierra Leone, West Africa. It is defined by Exploration Licence EXPL 09/06, which covers an area of approximately 319km[2] .

On 1 October 2008, Cape Lambert announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a 30% investment in Marampa Iron Ore Limited ( Marampa ) a wholly owned subsidiary of African Minerals Limited ( African Minerals ) (AIM: AMI) and owner of the Marampa Iron Ore project ( Marampa Project ) in Sierra Leone. On 22 January 2009, Cape Lambert announced it had reached agreement to increase its investment in Marampa to approximately 35%.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement Cape Lambert will sole fund the first US$25 million toward a definitive feasibility study at the Marampa Project, and it holds an exclusive option to invest further in Marampa by acquiring from African Minerals the outstanding shares in Marampa. Cape Lambert assumed management of the Marampa Project on 1 October 2008 and commenced mobilization and field work in January 2009.

The exploration licence encloses (but excludes) the former DELCO, open cut mining operation. DELCO commenced operations in 1933 and exported iron ore from the area until mine closure in 1975 due to depressed commodity prices.

Iron mineralisation at the Marampa Project consists of several hard rock hematite schist drill targets, two of which represent extensions to the iron mineralisation mined by DELCO.

The Marampa Project area is connected to an existing deep water port, ship loader and stockpile area at Pepel by approximately 80km of rail infrastructure. Through a Memorandum of Understanding dated November 2008 ( MOU ) between African Minerals and the Government of Sierra Leone, African Minerals has the right to access and operate the existing rail and port infrastructure.

Pursuant to the MOU, African Minerals is required to grant access rights to the rail and port infrastructure to Marampa on commercial terms to be agreed by Cape

19

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

Lambert and African Minerals. The rail and port infrastructure requires refurbishment and upgrading but offers substantial time and cost savings relative to a greenfields project.

Detailed regional geological mapping of the exploration licence was completed in the March quarter 2009, which identified several targets prospective for hematite schist mineralisation. Diamond drilling is being planned at the prioritised targets including Gafal West and Matukia, which adjoin the old DELCO mine. Scout diamond drilling by African Minerals in 2007 at Gafal West intersected banded to granular specular hematite mineralisation hosted in schistose rocks. Iron grades averaged 23% to 30% Fe over drilled intervals from 36m to 262.5m. These results confirmed the western extension of the specular hematite mineralisation from the former DELCO mining area.

During 2008, Cape Lambert completed sighter metallurgical test work on composite samples from 3 of the 4 scout diamond drill holes drilled in 2007. Rougher concentrates returned iron concentrate grades of 61-63% and mass recovery of approximately 43%.

Cape Lambert’s immediate plans at the Marampa Project are to explore for, and define hard rock hematite schist mineral resources. The initial hard rock sighter metallurgical test work has indicated that premium quality iron concentrates for export to world markets can be produced.

Cape Lambert’s strategy is to evaluate the viability of a project to produce a high quality hematite iron ore concentrate from mining and processing the hematite schist. Access to existing rail and port infrastructure reduces the project’s capital investment and production lead time.

Sappes Gold Project

The Sappes Gold Project is located in north eastern Greece approximately 30km north west of the port city of Alexandroupolis, which is located on the Aegean Sea ( Sappes Gold Project ). The Sappes Gold Project is 100% owned by Cape Lambert through its wholly owned subsidiary Cape Lambert MinSec Pty Ltd.

The Sappes Gold Project is located on a 20.1km[2] Lease granted for 30 years in 1993.

The Sappes Gold Project is based on developing the underground high grade Viper Deposit and an open pit nearby at the St Demetrios deposit. A feasibility study was completed in 2003 and updated in 2006. The Sappes Gold Project is currently in the permitting stage. The feasibility study proposed production of approximately 100,000 ounces of gold (in dore and flotation concentrate) over 5 years with a cash operating cost of approximately A$430/oz.

The total Mineral Resource at the Viper deposit is 1 million tonnes at 21.4 g/t gold (682,300 ounces of contained gold). The total Mineral Resource at the St Demitrios deposit is 0.8 million tonnes at 3.4 g/t gold (86,300 ounces of contained gold).

Lady Loretta Project

The Lady Loretta Pb-Zn-Ag deposit is located approximately 120km north of Mt Isa, Queensland and 3km east of the Lady Annie copper deposit ( Lady Loretta Project ). The Lady Loretta Project is held under granted Mining Lease (ML5568), which covers an area of 3,264 hectares.

Cape Lambert owns 25% of the Lady Loretta Project in a joint venture with a subsidiary of Xstrata plc ( Xstrata ) (75% and manager) (LSE: XTA.L).

20

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM

The Lady Loretta Project is a substantial and advanced underground high grade zinc project. Present feasibility work is focussed on a mine-only development at the Lady Loretta Project, with ore hauled by road to Xstrata’s ore processing facilities at Mt Isa.

The total Mineral Resource for the Lady Loretta deposit is 13.7 million tonnes at 17% Zn, 5.8% Pb and 96 g/t Ag.

Australis Exploration Pty Ltd

Australis Exploration Pty Ltd ( Australis ) is a private company that is 100% owned by Cape Lambert through its wholly owned subsidiary Cape Lambert MinSec Pty Ltd.

Australis holds exploration licences and applications covering approximately 38,000km[2] located in the Northern Territory and Queensland. The tenement package covers extensive portions of the northern and eastern margins of the Georgina Basin, including the Alexander Ridge basement high in the Northern Territory. The tenements are prospective for rock phosphate and secondary uranium deposits.

Cape Lambert South Project

Cape Lambert owns 100% of the Cape Lambert South Project ( Cape Lambert South ), which comprises granted exploration licence E47/1493 with an area of 56.9km[2] , located in the Pilbara coastal region of Western Australia.

A 3km long magnetic anomaly overlaying banded iron formation ( BIF ) is located in the south east of the Cape Lambert South exploration licence. This BIF represents the southern strike extension of the 1.56 billion tonne magnetite iron ore resource owned by MCC.

A first-pass program of geological mapping, 4,107m of RC drilling and one diamond hole for 375m was completed at Cape Lambert South during October 2008 to March 2009. Significant intersections averaging 40m at 33% Fe were returned from the central BIF unit over a strike length of 1.8km. This BIF unit is still open for a further 800m to the southwest. Significant Davis Tube Recovery results from this BIF unit averaged 24.3 % mass recovery with a concentrate grade of 67.4% Fe.

Other Cape Lambert Investments

Pursuant to the Mineral Securities Acquisition, Cape Lambert and Cape Lambert MinSec acquired all of the shares in Mineral Securities which, in addition to the projects outlined previously includes a 19.99% interest in the share capital of each of Tianshan Goldfields Limited and Buka Gold Limited and portfolio interests in various companies including a 5.3% interest in Platmin Limited (TSX/AIM: PPN), a 7.5% interest in Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd (AIM: CGH) and in several other listed companies.

On 3 July 2009 Cape Lambert, through its wholly owned subsidiary Dempsey Resources Pty Ltd, acquired 36.4% of DMC Mining Limited ( DMC Mining ) (ASX: DMM). DMC Mining holds 80% of a 1,000km[2] tenement in the Republic of Congo, Africa that is prospective for large supergene hematite and itabirite iron ore deposits.

On 15 July 2009 Cape Lambert, through its wholly owned subsidiary Dempsey Resources Pty Ltd, acquired 8.4% of Cauldron Energy Limited ( Cauldron Energy ) (ASX: CXU). Cauldron Energy holds exploration tenements in Western Australia, South Australia and Argentina, which are prospective for uranium.

21

1342-7/Documents/2009 Notice of AGM
