Explanatory Memorandum

Introduction.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of. Please take the time to read through this document.

Resolution 1. Consolidation of Shares

The Company proposes to consolidate its share capital through the conversion of every ten (10) ordinary shares in the Company into one (1) ordinary shares in the Company. Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, a company may consolidate its shares if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a General Meeting.

Reasons for the Consolidation.

Kentor Gold currently has approximately 1.1 billion shares on issue as a result of a number of equity based capital raisings. The number of shares is disproportionate to Kentor Gold’s peers; therefore the Company proposes to reduce this number through a share consolidation.

Effect of the Consolidation.

If approved the consolidation will take effect from 10 February 2012.

At this date, the number of shares on issue will be reduced as follows

Current Shares on Issue: 1,062,092,950 Shares on Issue after Consolidation 106,209,295

Where the consolidation of a shareholder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of a share, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. If the Company reasonably believes that a shareholder has been a party to the division of a shareholding in an attempt to obtain an advantage from this treatment of fractions, the Company will take the appropriate action having regard to the Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules. In particular, the Company reserves the right to disregard the division of the shareholding for the purpose of dealing with fractions so as to round up any fraction to the nearest whole number of shares that would have been received but for the division.

As the consolidation applies equally to all of the Company’s shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company’s shares (subject only to rounding of fractions).

Shareholders should note that the reduction of share capital, if approved, will have an effect on the Company’s share price.

Timetable for Consolidation

If approved by shareholders, the following timetable will apply to the consolidation.

24/01/2012 Shareholder Approval
25/01/2012 Last day of trading pre-reorganisation
27/01/2012 Trade on a deferred settlement basis
02/02/2012 Last day for transfers pre-reorganisation
03/02/2012 Notices sent to shareholders providing details of holdings pre and post
consolidation
09/02/2012 Despatch Date – deferred settlement ends
10/02/2012 Normal trade

Tax Implications for Shareholders.

The summary in this section is general in nature. In addition, particular taxation implications will depend upon the circumstances of each shareholder. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to seek and rely only on their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor its officers , employees or advisors assumes any liability or responsibility for advising shareholders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed share consolidation.

The share consolidation will be undertaken in accordance with section 254H of the Corporations Act. Subject only to rounding, there will be no change to the proportionate interests held by each shareholder in the Company as a result of the consolidation.

The share consolidation will occur through the conversion of every ten (10) ordinary shares in the Company into one (1) ordinary share in the Company. No capital gains tax (CGT) event will occur as a result of the Company share consolidation and therefore the Company does not believe that there will be any taxation implications arising for the Company’s shareholders.

The Company’s Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Consolidation of Shares.

Each Director intends to vote all the Company’s shares under their control in favour of the proposed resolution.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

No Other Material Information.

Other than as set out in this document, and other than information previously disclosed to the Company’s shareholders, there is no other information that is known to the Company’s Directors which may reasonably be expected to be material in the making of a decision by the Company’s shareholders regarding whether or not to vote in favour of the share consolidation.
