EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Friday 30 November 2012 commencing at 1.00 pm.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information which the directors believe is material to shareholders in relation to the Resolutions. This Explanatory Memorandum explains the Resolutions and identifies the directors’ reasons for putting them to shareholders.

1. Financial Statements and Reports

The financial statements, directors’ report and auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2012, as set out in the 2012 Annual Report, are placed before the meeting in accordance with Section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to discuss these documents and ask questions.

For those shareholders who have elected not to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report, it can be accessed on the Company’s website at: www.trakaresources.com.au

2. Resolution 1 – Re-election of Director - Mr Neil Tomkinson

The Company’s Constitution requires that where there are three or more directors, one third of those directors must retire at each annual general meeting. If the number of directors is not a multiple of three, then the next nearest whole number of directors must retire from office. The Constitution excludes the Managing Director from this requirement.

The Constitution provides that a director who retires is eligible for re-election.

Mr Neil Tomkinson, who retires by rotation pursuant to the Constitution, seeks re-election.

A brief biography of Mr Tomkinson is set out in the Annual Report.

The directors (excluding Mr Tomkinson) endorse the re-election of Mr Tomkinson.

3. Resolution 2 – Remuneration Report

The directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2012 contains the Remuneration Report, which sets out the Company’s policy for the remuneration of the directors and certain of its executives.

Section 250R of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted, but expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company.

Sections 250U to 250Y provide shareholders with the opportunity to remove the directors from office if 25% or more of the votes are cast against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings (“Two Strikes Rule”)

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where 25% or more of the votes are cast against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company is required to put an ordinary resolution (“Spill Resolution”) to the second such meeting as to whether another general meeting should be held within 90 days at which all directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable directors’ report must stand for re-election.

Since the Remuneration Report put to the previous annual general meeting of the Company was adopted by a majority of more than 75% of votes, there is no requirement to put a Spill Resolution to this annual general meeting.

Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Proxy voting by key management personnel

Resolution 2

Subsection 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits a vote being cast on Resolution 2 by, or on behalf of, a member of the key management personnel for the Company, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or a closely related party of such a member.

Subsection 250R(5) does however provide that a person described above, may vote on Resolution 2 if: (a) the person does so as a proxy, appointed by writing, that states how the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and (b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a person prohibited from voting on the resolution, as described above.

It is emphasised that this exception applies only where the proxy is directed how to vote by the shareholder ie by marking the ‘For’ or ‘Against’ boxes alongside Resolution 2 overleaf. Where no direction is given to the proxy, the proxy may NOT cast a vote in relation to Resolution 2 and will not, even if the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting.

Consequently shareholders eligible to cast a vote on Resolution 2 are encouraged to direct their proxy how to vote on this resolution by marking the ‘For’ or ‘Against’ boxes alongside Resolution 2 overleaf.
