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 2015 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

The Company is not 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.

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 http://www.kingrivercopper.com.au.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Financial Report for the financial period ended 30 June 2015;

2 INFORMATION RELATING TO RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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 2015.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for questions about or comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Page 5

2.2 Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

2.4 Proxy restrictions

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for Resolution 1.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chairman) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2015. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

3. INFORMATION RELATING TO RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – LEONID CHARUCKYJ

Rule 7.1(d) of the Constitution requires that any Director (other than a managing director) must retire from office at the third annual general meeting after the Director was elected or most recently re-elected, but is eligible for re-election at that annual general meeting. Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity (other than a managing director) must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.

Leonid Charuckyj was first appointed as a Director on 13 December 2011 and was last reelected at the 2012 annual general meeting on 27 November 2012. Mr Charuckyj will therefore retire and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

Page 6

Leonid Charuckyj is a non-executive Director of the Company. Details of the qualifications and expertise of Mr Charuckyj are set out in the 2015 Annual Report of the Company. Mr Charuckyj meets the independence guidelines as a director as prescribed by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] edition).

The Board of the Company recommends the re-election of Mr Charuckyj as a Director.

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of sections 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments:

Registered Office (for delivery): First Floor, 254 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, Western Australia, 6000 Postal Address: PO Box Z5518, Perth, Western Australia, 6831 Fax Number: +61 (8) 9325 8088 Email: [email protected]

by no later than 48 hours prior to the time of commencement of the Meeting.
