3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Michal Safrata
Under Listing Rule 14.4 and rule 7.3(d) of the Constitution there must be an election of directors at each annual general meeting. A director is required to retire from office and is then eligible for re-election. The director to retire is the one who has held office the longest since the last election to that office, and if two or more directors have held office for the same period of time, the director determined by agreement.
Mr Michal Safrata retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for reelection.
Mr Safrata was appointed as a non-executive Director on 5 September 2011. Mr Safrata is a businessman who has over 10 years’ experience in managing business of his own and others and was formerly a director of Oroya Mining Limited from December 2010 to July 2012. Mr Safrata was also a director of Oz Brewing Ltd from 15 April 2011 until 18 June 2014.

4. Resolution 3 – Approval to increase non-executive directors’ fees
4.1
Background
The Company seeks approval to increase the maximum total amount of fees payable to the non-executive directors from the existing limit of $90,000 to $150,000.
The current level of fees payable to non-executive directors was last approved by Shareholders at the 2010 annual general meeting. Rule 7.5 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 10.17 requires shareholders to approve the maximum total amount of directors’ fees payable to non-executive directors. These fees include superannuation contributions made for the benefit of non-executive directors and any fees that a non-executive director chooses to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses, genuine special exertion fees paid in accordance with the Constitution or securities issued to a non-executive director under the Listing Rules.
4.2
Reasons for increases
The Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek an increase in the remuneration pool for its non-executive Directors to ensure the Company maintains the ability to remunerate competitively and attract and retain non-executive directors with the skills and experience appropriate for the Company’s business and to pay its directors in accordance with market rates for companies of similar size and complexity having regard to the duties and responsibilities of the position.
All members of the Board are non-executive Directors and the total amount of fees paid to the Directors for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 was $90,000. The remuneration paid to each non-executive Director is set out in the Remuneration Report.
tzw 4746135_1 page 8
4.3 Information required under the Listing Rules
The amount of the increase is $60,000.
If this resolution is passed, the maximum total amount of fees that may be paid to all of the Company’s non–executive Directors each year will be $150,000, to be divided between them as determined by the Board.
The following securities have been issued to the non-executive Directors under listing rule 10.11 with shareholder approval during the preceding three years:
| Non-executive Director | Securities issued | When |
|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Davies | 2,000,000 unquoted options1 |

4.4 Proxy voting restrictions
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and have not directed him how to vote, you are expressly authorising the Chairman to cast your undirected proxy on this resolution in accordance with his stated intentions. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies for this resolution.
If you appoint any other member of the Board, a member of senior management who is named in the Remuneration Report, or their closely related parties as your proxy, they will not be able to vote your proxy on this resolution unless you have directed them how to vote.
4.5 Directors’ recommendation
All of the Directors have an interest in this resolution and do not make a recommendation to Shareholders.
tzw 4746135_1 page 9
5. Resolution 4 – Approval to prior issue of Shares
5.1 Background
On 2 May 2014 the Company completed a placement of 7,425,000 Shares at $0.012 each to raise $89,100. The purpose of the placement is to raise funds for exploration activities on the Company’s projects and for working capital.
5.2 Requirements of the Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue equity securities up to 15% of its issued capital over a 12 month period without shareholder approval. Listing rule 7.4 provides that where shareholders subsequently approve securities that were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 then those securities will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval. The effect of this rule is to refresh the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and enables entities to retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future without prior shareholder approval.
This resolution seeks Shareholder approval to approve and ratify the Shares issued on 2 May 2014.
For the purposes of this resolution the following information is provided to Shareholders:
-
(a) The number of securities issued was 7,425,000 Shares.
-
(b) The Shares were issued at a price of $0.012 per Share.
-
(c) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally with all other existing Shares. The Shares are quoted on ASX.
-
(d) The Shares were issued to Omen Pty Ltd, which is a substantial shareholder in the Company. Omen Pty Ltd is not a related party of the Company.
-
(e) It is intended that the funds will be used for exploration activities on the Company’s projects and for working capital.
5.3 Directors’ recommendation
All of the Directors have an interest in this resolution and do not make a recommendation to Shareholders.
6. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Shares to Consultants
6.1
Background
The Company engages consultants from time to time to provide geophysics, drilling and other services to further the Company’s projects. The Company seek Shareholder approval under this resolution to issue up to 5,500,000 Shares to consultants as full or part payment for services provided in lieu of cash.
The actual number of Shares that may be issued is unknown but will depend upon arrangements with consultants and the value of services provided. The Board has determined to issue Shares under this resolution at a deemed price of $0.015. This was calculated as a 22% discount to the 30 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares at the time of the Board determination.
tzw 4746135_1 page 10
6.2 Requirements of the Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue equity securities up to 15% of its issued capital over a 12 month period without shareholder approval. If this resolution is passed then the Shares issued will not count towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This resolution gives the Company flexibility to engage consultants and negotiate payment for the services performed by the issue of Shares without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
For the purposes of this resolution the following information is provided to Shareholders:
-
(a) The maximum number of Shares the Company will issue is 5,500,000. The actual number of Shares that will be issued depends on the value of the consulting fees charged to the Company.
-
(b) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(c) The Shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.015 per Share.
-
(d) The Shares will be issued to third party consultants/service providers which may be engaged by the Company in full or part payment of services provided. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has engaged Terra Resources Pty Ltd to provide geophysics services and has agreed to issue Shares to it in lieu of cash payment. Other potential third party consultants/service providers have not yet been identified and are not yet known.
-
(e) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for quotation of the Shares on ASX.
-
(f) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Shares. The Shares will be issued as payment for services provided by Terra Resources Pty Ltd and other third party consultants/service providers.
-
(g) It is intended that the Shares will be issued progressively after services have been provided.
6.3 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
7. Resolution 6 – Approval for Additional Placement Facility
7.1
Background
Listing rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained the approval of shareholders by special resolution at an annual general meeting to issue an additional 10% of issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period ( Additional Placement Facility ).
The Company is an eligible entity (being an entity with market capitalisation of less than $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index) and seeks Shareholder approval under this resolution for the Additional Placement Facility.
tzw 4746135_1 page 11
7.2 Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Quoted securities
Any equity securities issued under the Additional Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of equity securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has two classes of equity securities quoted on ASX being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX: KSN) and options (ASX: KSNO).
- (b) Number of equity securities that may be issued
Listing Rule 7.1 permits the Company to issue 15% of issued capital over a 12 month period without shareholder approval. The Additional Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholders passing this resolution is to allow the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital during the next 12 months without obtaining specific Shareholder approval before the placement.
The exact number of additional equity securities that the Company may issue under the Additional Placement Facility is not fixed but is calculated under a formula prescribed by the Listing Rules (set out below).
At the date of this Notice the Company has 89,780,828 Shares on issue. If all the Resolutions in this Notice are passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):
-
13,467,124 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% placement capacity); and
-
8,978,082 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (10% Additional Placement Facility).
-
(c) Formula for calculating the number of equity securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Facility.
If this resolution is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula.
(A x D) – E
Where:
| Where: | |
|---|---|
| A | The number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4, less the number of Shares cancelled in the 12 months. |
| D | 10% |
| E | The number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. |
tzw 4746135_1 page 12
7.3 Information required under the Listing Rules
- (a) Minimum price
The issue price of any equity security under the Additional Placement Facility will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within five trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
-
(b)
-
Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this resolution is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution including the risk that:
-
The market price for equity securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new equity securities than on the date of this Meeting; and
-
The new equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for equity securities in the same class on the issue date or the new equity securities may be issued consideration for the acquisition of a new asset.
The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Facility (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares. The numbers are calculated on the basis of the latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice and the current number of Shares on issue.
| Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A |

-
(e)

-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the new securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate and other advisors.
At the date of this Notice the proposed allottees under the Additional Placement Facility have not been determined but may include existing substantial Shareholders, other Shareholders and/or new investors. None of the allottees will be a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for equity securities under the Additional Placement Facility and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.
If the Additional Placement Facility is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of these assets/investments.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities under the Additional Placement Facility.
