2. RESOLUTION 2 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SECURITIES PLAN

2.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 53,251,703 Securities under the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Plan )).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

2.2 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 2.3 below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

3.1 General

These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 87,120,000 Options to Paul Berend, Tony Sage, Tim Turner, Luke Martino and David Sanders (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below.

3.2 Director Recommendation

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.

3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity 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,

11

5375-02/3539361_10

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

The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

3.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue.

3.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Name of the persons to
whom Securities will be
issued
The proposed recipients of the Securities are set out in
Section 3.1 above.
Categorisation under Listing
Rule 10.11
Each of the proposed recipients falls within the category
set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of
the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive
Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of
Listing Rule 10.11.4.
Number of Securities and
class to be issued
The maximum number of Options to be issued (being the
nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is
87,120,000 which will be allocated are set out in the table
included at Section 3.1 above.

12

5375-02/3539361_10

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Terms of Securities The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set
out in Schedule 1.
Date(s) on or by which the
Securities will be issued
The Company expects to issue the Options within 5 Business
Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not
issue any Options later than one month after the date of
the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by
any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
Price or other consideration
the Company will receive for
the Securities
The Options will be issued at a nil issue price.
Purpose of the issue,
including the intended use of
any funds raised by the issue
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked
incentive component in the remuneration package for the
proposed recipients to align the interests of the proposed
recipients with those of Shareholders, to motivate and
reward the performance of the proposed recipients in their
roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from
the Company to remunerate the proposed recipients,
which will allow the Company to spend a greater
proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it
would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given
to the proposed recipients.
Consideration of type of
Security to be issued
The Company has agreed to issue the Options for the
following reasons:
(a)
the issue of the Options has no immediate
dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
(b)
the deferred taxation benefit which is available
to the proposed recipients in respect of an issue
of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it
means the proposed recipients are not required
to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax
liability (as would be the case in an issue of
Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of
the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an
interest in the Company;
(c)
the issue is a reasonable and appropriate
method to provide cost effective remuneration
as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the
Company to spend a greater proportion of its
cash reserves on its operations than it would if
alternative cash forms of remuneration were
given to the Directors; and
(d)
it is not considered that there are any significant
opportunity costs to the Company or benefits
foregone by the Company in issuing the Options
on the terms proposed.
Consideration of quantum of
Securities to be issued
The number of Securities to be issued has been determined
based upon a consideration of:
(a)
current market standards and/or practices of
other ASX listed companies of a similar size and
stage of development to the Company;
(b)
the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and
(c)
incentives to attract and ensure continuity of
service of the proposed recipients who have
appropriate knowledge and expertise, while
maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Companydoes not consider that there are any

13

significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits
foregone by the Company in issuing the Securities upon
the terms proposed.

4. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO MANAGEMENT

4.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 44,880,000 Options to incentivise and reward the technical general manager, chief geologist, senior analyst and company secretary ( Management ) for assisting and facilitating in exploration, corporate management, administration and advancing the Company’s business, subject to the Company obtaining the approval of Shareholders.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

The proposed issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan
Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a
Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any
Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as
expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting
of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(d)
is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see
Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned,
transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with
unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in
the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the
consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be
exercisable on terms determined by the Board.
A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has
been granted to them.
Vesting of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be
described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied
and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to
the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant
Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is
issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be
considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting
conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or
otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse.
Forfeiture of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:
(a)
in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the
holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the
Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in
the Corporations Act) (the Group);
(b)
in the case of unvested Convertible only, where a Participant
acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of
any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the Expiry Date.
Listing of Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the
ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its
absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities
granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Exercise of
Convertible
Securities and
cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of
exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below),
pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any
time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting

23

5375-02/3539361_10

conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or
vesting notice.
An invitation to apply for Convertible Securities may specify that at the
time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect
not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the
number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but
that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer
or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the
positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time
of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to
exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average
price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately
preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security
has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set
out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares and
quotation of Shares
on exercise
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a
Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that
Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled
under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining
unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
Restriction periods
and restrictions on
transfer of Shares on
exercise
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of
a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or
other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement
any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the
Participant with this restriction.
Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice
that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act,
Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not
be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company,
at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to
section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act;
(b)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in
Shares by persons who possess material information likely to
affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally
available; and
(c)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Rights attaching to
Shares on exercise
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally
in all respects with the then Shares of the Company.
Change of control Auto vesting on a change of control
If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any
person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50%
of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will
vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s
discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible
Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying
any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does
not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities
for less than fair value.
Participation in
entitlements and
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs,
Participants will not be entitled toparticipate in new issues of capital

24

5375-02/3539361_10

bonus issues offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
Adjustment for
bonus issue
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than
an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the
Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to
receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been
issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the
Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Reorganisation If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including
any
subdivision,
consolidation,
reduction,
return
or
cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each
Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent
necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a
reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
Employee Share
Trust
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share
trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible
Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of
holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend
any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms
and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the
Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given
retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they
existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment
introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to
correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in
writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The
Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a
fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension
must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing
that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be
cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular
event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed
between the Company and the Participant.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act)
except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.
