Section D - Explanatory Memorandum

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum contains the information needed for Korab Shareholders to assess the Resolution to be put to them at the General Meeting of the Company on 6 August 2012. A Notice of General Meeting accompanies this document.

This Explanatory Memorandum, as well as the Notice of General Meeting, should be read carefully and in their entirety.

2. Resolution 1 – Ratify Issue of Shares

2.1 Background

Subject to certain exceptions, none of which are relevant here, the Directors are restricted by Listing Rule 7.1 from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities in the Company in any 12 month period, which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without Shareholder approval ("15% Limit").

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior Shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company's maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to 15% of the issued capital of the company without requiring Shareholder approval.

The Company wishes to ratify this issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital at any time during the next 12 months.

This issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 13,200,000 Shares were allotted, at an issue price of $0.135 each, on 30 March 2012 and 10 April 2012.

  • (b) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respect with existing Shares, the terms of which are already in the public domain.

  • (c) The Shares were allotted to sophisticated and professional investors. .

  • (d) None of the allottees are related parties to the Company or its associates.

  • (e) Funds of $1,782,000, before the costs of the issue, were raised from the issue of the Shares, to advance mining and exploration activities at the Bobrikovo gold project in the Ukraine owned and operated by Donetsky Kryazh Ltd, in which the Company controls approximately 68%, to continue exploration and development at the Melrose gold project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, to continue exploration and development of the Geolsec phosphate project in the Northern Territory, to reduce debt and to meet ongoing working capital requirements

2.2 Recommendation of Directors

If Resolution 1 is passed, the 15% Limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 will be renewed to the extent of the ratification. The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to maximise the Company’s flexibility to issue additional securities going forward.
