EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Kingsrose Mining Limited (“Kingsrose” or “the Company”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at Suite 3, 16 Kearns Crescent, Applecross WA 6153 on Tuesday, 21 April 2009 at 10.00am WST (“the Meeting”).

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting (“the Notice”).

The following matters should be noted in respect of the resolutions in the Notice:

Resolution 1 – Approval to Issue Shares

At the General Meeting of Members held on 21 January 2009, shareholders passed a resolution authorising the issue of shares to raise up to A$15 million. In accordance with the Listing Rules, such approval was given on the basis that the shares would be issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting.

Due to market conditions, the implementation of the share issue has taken longer than anticipated and may not be complete by 21 April 2009, being the date three months after the date of the general meeting at which the issue was approved.

Accordingly, shareholders are asked to refresh such approval to enable the Shares to be issued after 21 April 2009.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:

a) The maximum number of Shares the entity is to issue (if known) or the formula for calculating the number of Shares the entity is to issue

The maximum number of shares to be allotted will be an amount which is sufficient to raise A$15,000,000 based on the price per Share determined by the Directors subject to the constraints specified in the resolution.

b) The date by which the entity will issue the Shares (which must be no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting)

It is anticipated that, subject to Shareholder approval, the Shares will be issued on one date and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting, or such later date as approved by ASX by way of ASX granting a waiver under the Listing Rules.

c) The issue price of the Shares, which must be either a fixed price or a minimum price

Under Listing Rule 7.3.3, the minimum price may be fixed or a stated percentage that is at least 80% of the average market price for securities in that class. The average is calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue was made or, if there is a prospectus, Product Disclosure Statement or offer information statement relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the prospectus, Product Disclosure Statement or offer information is signed.

The price at which the shares will be issued will be determined by the Directors based on market conditions at the time of issue but will be not less than the 80% of market price referred to above. Because of the current volatility in market conditions it is not possible for the Directors to determine the issue price as at the date of this Explanatory Statement being circulated to shareholders.

d) The names of the allottees (if known) or the basis upon which the allottees will be identified or selected

It is anticipated that the allottees will be clients of Southern Cross Equities.

e) The terms of the Shares

The Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

f) The intended use of the funds raised

The funds are to be raised by the Company for the following purposes:

  • (i) completion of construction of the mine at the Project.

  • (ii) to fund repayment of the loans pursuant to the terms of the Loan Arrangements Deed pursuant to which the Company has obligations to fund the repayment of various loans made to its wholly owned subsidiaries connected to the Project;

  • (iii) to fund site exploration during the construction phase for the Project; and

  • (iv) general working capital requirements.

g) The dates of allotment or a statement that allotment will occur progressively

See paragraph b).

Resolution 2 - Ratification of Securities Issue

In January 2009, the Company issued 9.7 million ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.10 each (“January Share Issue”). Such issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to restore the Company’s ability to issue, without Shareholders approval, further securities up to the full 15% limit currently imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.

As required by Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the January Share Issue:

  • (a) at total of 9.7 million ordinary shares were issued pursuant to the January Share Issue.

  • (b) Under the January Share Issue, the shares were issued at $0.10 each.

  • (c) The shares were fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The shares were issued to clients of Kirke Securities and to other non related individual investors identified by the Board.

  • (e) The funds raised have been used for working capital for the Company.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

  1. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxies must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights (by inserting the percentage in the appropriate box on the form). 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 Shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion or resolution, except where the proxy is required by law or the appointing company’s constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the General Meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on an item of business, the Chairman will vote, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

  4. The Chairman of the General Meeting will be Mr John Morris.

  5. 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:

  6. (a) two directors of the company;

  7. (b) a director and the company secretary of the company; or

  8. (c) 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 Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 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 Section 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 General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the General 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 a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and either:

  4. (a) return the proxy form by personal delivery or courier to Kingsrose Mining Limited, Suite 3, 16 Kearns Crescent, Applecross WA;

  5. (b) send the proxy form by post to Kingsrose Mining Limited, Suite 3, 16 Kearns Crescent, Applecross WA 6153; or

  6. (c) send the proxy form by facsimile to Kingsrose Mining Limited on facsimile number (08) 9316 2511 (or international +61 8 9316 2511),

so that it is received not later than 10.00am (WST) on 19 April 2009.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
