EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10 am (WST) on Friday 24 October 2008 at The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia.

This 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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

1.1 General

On 30 June 2008, the Company issued 16,000,000 Shares as part consideration for the acquisition of the sub-surface rights of a permit located in the Zhetybai-Uzen step in the South West Mangistau Basin in Kazakhstan ( Acquisition ).

The subscriber pursuant to this issue was not a related party of the Company.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( 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.

1.2 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) 16,000,000 Shares were allotted;

  • (b) the deemed issue price was 12.5 cents per Share;

  • (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 Zher Munai & K LLP; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue as the Shares were issued as part consideration for the Acquisition.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – OPTIONS

2.1 General

On 13 June 2008 and 3 July 2008, the Company issued a total of 30,000,000 Options to incentivise key personnel of the Company.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options ( Option Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

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.

The Company notes that the Options issued to Mr Ole Udsen are no longer capable of vesting as Mr Udsen is no longer engaged by the Company as an employee or consultant as required by the terms and conditions of the Options (refer to paragraph (b) of Schedule 1).

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

7. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTOR – ERKIN SVANBAYEV

10

7.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 5,000,000 Shares to Erkin Svanbayev on the terms and conditions set out below.

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,

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 issue of the Shares to Erkin Svanbayev requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the issue of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director Erkin Svanbayev is a related party 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 issue of Shares to Erkin Svanbayev.

7.2 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 issue of Shares to Erkin Svanbayev:

  • (a) the related party is Erkin Svanbayev and he is a related party by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to Erkin Svanbayev is 5,000,000 Shares;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued to Erkin Svanbayev no later than 1 month after the date of the General 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 issued on one date;

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

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

  • (f) the value of the Shares based on the last price Shares were traded on ASX prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting is $320,000;

11

  • (g) the relevant interests of Erkin Svanbayev in securities of the Company are: nil Shares, 2,000,000 unlisted Options exerciseable at 20 cents each on or before 31 December 2008 and 10,000,000 listed Options exerciseable at 8 cents each on or before 30 June 2010;

  • (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to Erkin Svanbayev for both the current financial year and previous financial year are $150,000 and $125,978 respectively.

  • (i) if the Shares are issued to Erkin Svanbayev this will increase the number of Shares on issue from 356,860,189 to 361,860,189 (assuming that no existing Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 1.4%;

  • (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 19 cents 26 & 29 October 2007
Lowest 5 cents 8 April 2008
Last 6.4 cents 9 September 2008
  • (k) the primary purpose of the issue of Shares to Erkin Svanbayev is to provide cost effective consideration to Erkin Svanbayev for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as Director and as the principal contact point for the Company in Kazakhstan. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed;

  • (l) Erkin Svanbayev 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 Erkin Svanbayev) 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 issue the Shares to Erkin Svanbayev as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Erkin Svanbayev will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8. ENQUIRIES
