The project is currently owned by Aurum. The current ownership structure of the project is as detailed below:

Since the announcement in June, Kentor Gold has conducted the due diligence, obtained government approval, exercised the option and signed the share sale agreement for the project.

The transaction is structured such that Kentor will purchase 100% of the issued shares in Kaldora. Kaldora owns 80% of Andash. The remaining 20% will be held equally by a local Kyrgyz company and the Vendor.

The Andash tenements are located in the Talas valley, close to the Kyrgyz Republic’s north western border with the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The exploration and mining licences cover an area of 53km[2] at an altitude of between 2,100 and 2,400m above sea level.

The Andash tenement has an Ore Reserve estimate of 540,000 oz gold and 63,000 tonnes copper and based on the currently planned operating regime, will provide an estimated annual average life of mine production of approximately 60,000 oz gold and 5,000 tonnes copper. Production is expected to commence in 2011.

  3. Provide Kentor Gold choice to proceed with Alternative 2 to finance the Acquisition Amount via a combination of drawdown on the Facility and an equity placement to Institutional and Sophisticated Investors – Alternative 2. (Resolution 3,4 and 5)

Resolution 5 Issue of Shares to Macquarie Bank Limited on exercise of Options issued under Resolution 1 and 3

Subject to the approval of resolution 1 and 3, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act to the acquisition by MBL of a relevant interest which would be otherwise prohibited upon the exercise of the Options issued to Macquarie. Macquarie has until December 2011 to exercise the Commitment Options and December 2012 to exercise the Drawdown Options to acquire shares in the Company.

Section 611 of the Corporation Act 2001 (Cth)

Section 606 of the Corporations Act contains a general prohibition against a person acquiring a relevant interest in voting shares of a listed company if, amongst other things, that person’s voting power in the company will increase from a starting point below 20% to above 20% as a result of the acquisition unless one of the exemptions in section 611 of the Corporations Act applies.

Item 7 of Section 611 provides that section 606(1) of the Corporations Act does not apply to the acquisition of a relevant interest in the voting shares of a company if the company has agreed to the acquisition by resolution passed at a general meeting to which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution by the person to which the shares are to be issued or by an associate of that person.

The issue of shares (on exercise of the Options) will result in MBL having a relevant interest in an aggregate of more than 20% of the voting shares in the Company.

Accordingly the Company is seeking approval of Shareholders under Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act in respect of MBL.

If Resolution 1, 3 and 5 are passed and MBL exercises the options granted under the following assumptions, the maximum number of options to be issued would be 111,111,111.

Commitment Options Exercise Price - A$0.15 Exchange Rate – AUD/USD $0.90 No. of Commitment Options Issued = 37,037,037 Drawdown Options Exercise Price - A$0.15 Exchange Rate – AUD/USD $0.90 Drawdown Amount - $US15,000,000 No. of Drawdown Options Issued = 74,074,074

The following information is given pursuant to item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act and Regulatory Guide 74 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission:

  • The person proposing to acquire the interest in the Company is MBL. MBL is an ASX listed bank. The transaction is a financing arrangement with the issue of options part of the consideration for provision of the Facility.

  • At the date of this Notice of Meeting, MBL holds 15,676,556 ordinary shares in the Company representing a voting power of 8.82%.

  • If Kentor Gold

  • raises the required $25 million by drawing down the Facility to the full extent,

  • raises the remaining amount through an equity placement at $0.15 (approx 56.7 million shares),

  • and MBL exercise of the Commitment Options and the Drawdown Options in full

    • this would result in MBL holding 126,787,667 Kentor Gold shares representing a voting power of 36.7%.
  • If Commitment Options or Drawdown Options are transferred to third parties, the voting power of MBL will be less than 36.7%

  • MBL has advised the Company that it does not intend to change the business of the Company following exercise of the Options;

  • The Company will require further capital injections to enable the Company to fully develop the mine on the Andash tenements, but at this stage, the directors of the Company have no current intention to inject further capital into the Company otherwise than as outlined in this Notice of Meeting and earlier communications with Shareholders;

  • There is no current intention to make any change to the future employment of employees of the Company;

  • There is no current proposal under which any of the property of the Company will be transferred between the Company and MBL or any person associated with it other

than as outlined in this Notice of Meeting and earlier communications with shareholders;

  • There is no current intention to redeploy fixed assets of the company other than as outlined in this Notice of Meeting and earlier communications with shareholders;

  • The maximum number of shares to be issued, under the assumptions listed, to MBL upon exercise of the Commitment Options and the Drawdown Options will be 111,111,111. The issue of the Commitment Options and the Drawdown Options is conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 1 and 3;

  • Upon exercise of the Commitment Options and the Drawdown Options, the Company shall apply for official quotation on the ASX of the ordinary shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of those options;

  • In seeking sources of funding to ensure that the Company has sufficient financial resources to raise the Acquisition Amount, the directors have explored a number of alternatives for equity and debt financing of this transaction. The directors will continue to evaluate those alternatives. However, the Facility provides the Company with the ability to draw sufficient funds from MBL to fund the Acquisition Amount and to ensure that the Company is able to fulfill its contractual obligations with the Vendor;

  • None of the Directors have any interest in the issue of the Commitment Options and the Drawdown Options by the Company to MBL; and

  • None of the Directors have a material interest in MBL.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included within the Notice of Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Issue of Shares to MBL on exercise of Options issued under Resolution 1 and 3 and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 3.

Securityholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your securities using this form.

Appointment of a Proxy

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person in Step 1. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the company’s security registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

  • (b) return both forms together.
