EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Lindian Resources Limited (“ Lindian ” or the “ Company ”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held on 7 February 2008 at 3.30pm at Level 34 Exchange Plaza, 2 The Esplanade, Perth, Western Australia.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – Issue of Securities as Purchase Consideration

Background

On 30 October 2007, the Company announced the acquisition, subject to Shareholder approval and completion of due diligence, of an 80% interest in the Bafwasende Gold and Diamond project (“Project”).

Project location and access

The Project consists of 43 exploration licences and one exploration licence application covering a total area of approximately 7,000 square kilometres and is considered to be highly prospective for gold and diamonds. The licences are held by Congolese Exploration Company sprl (“Coexco”). The Project area is located 220kms north east of Kisangani (a major regional center) in Province Orientale in the north east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”). Access to the area is good with the Project area cut by the main sealed road from Kisangani to the town of Bafwasende. Kisangani is serviced by daily flights from Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC.

Project Geology and Historic Activities

The Project is underlain by the Neo Proterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Lindian Group which occupy the northeastern extremity of the Congo Basin. The Lindian Group is mapped as sediments ranging from mudstone to conglomerates with inter-bedded carbonate. Basal conglomerates/breccias are developed along the contact with the underlying basement rocks. These sediments have been gently folded along WNW trending anticlinal / synclinal axis paralleling the WNW basin margin.

Whilst there are reported to be numerous areas of artisanal alluvial diamond / gold exploitation within the Project area, there is no evidence of any systematic exploration activity. The project area is untested by modern exploration techniques.

A landsat interpretation has identified 3 main structural directions: WNW paralleling the basin margin, ENE and N-S which parallels the rifting in the Mid-Atlantic at the time of the Gondwana breakup. Significantly this is the time identified for the intrusion for the kimberlites at Mbudji Mayi (in the south west of the DRC and estimated to be producing about 5 million carats per year) and in West Africa. The intersections of these major crustal-scale linears, interpreted as major zones of crustal weakness, represent prime exploration targets. The Mbuji Mayi Diamond District sits at the intersection of the 3 major crustal structures.

Proposed Exploration Activities

Initial exploration will focus on regional geological mapping in conjunction with regional stream sediment sampling. All stream sediment samples will be sent for geochemical analysis as well as kimberlitic mineral identification. Further sampling in conjunction with airborne magnetics will be completed on all anomalous areas. This will enable a structural interpretation for targeting of a hardrock source for the alluvial gold mineralisation as well as identifying potential kimberlite pipes.

Due diligence review

Lindian has completed its due diligence review, which included confirmation from DRC legal advisors that the exploration licences the subject of the agreement are validly held by Coexco.

Bafwasende Acquisition Agreement

The principal terms of the Bafwasende Acquisition Agreement are as follows:

  • Lindian to acquire 80% of the issued share capital of Coexco by the payment of US$40,000 cash and the allotment and issue to Corporate & Resource Consultants Pty Ltd (“CRCPL”):

  • on receipt of Shareholder approval, 5,000,000 Shares (“Initial Purchase Consideration”); and

  • on the discovery of the equivalent of 2,000,000 ounces of gold resources to JORC standard (with at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold in the indicated category) by 31 December 2011, a further 15,000,000 Shares (“Conditional Shares”). The issue of the Conditional Shares is subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, including Shareholder approval. If the Conditional Shares are not able to be issued due to the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, Lindian shall pay CRCPL other consideration of comparable value to the Conditional Shares. Such other consideration shall be agreed to between Lindian and CRCPL, acting reasonably.

  • Lindian to incur all expenditure to completion of a feasibility study on the Project (such expenditure to be recouped from production on a priority basis).

  • Lindian can withdraw from funding the Project at any time if it considers further exploration not warranted.

  • Lindian has a first right of refusal to the other shareholders’ 20% interest in Coexco.

  • Lindian to acquire an option to purchase the remaining 20% interest from the other shareholders in Coexco (none of whom are related parties or associates of Lindian or of CRCPL), at Lindian’s election at any time prior to completion of a feasibility study, by allotting and issuing 500,000 Options (on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure 1 to the Explanatory Memorandum) to Mr JV Hamilton, a shareholder of Coexco (“Option Issue”). Consideration payable to Coexco shareholders to purchase the remaining 20% interest is:

  • payment of US$4 million;

  • payment of US$0.5 million for every 1 million ounces of gold (or equivalent) identified to JORC Indicated status (capped at US$2.5 million); and

  • payment of a gross royalty of 1% of production.

Resolution 1 seeks approval by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the Initial Purchase Consideration and the Option Issue.

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 information is provided to Shareholders as follows:

  • (i) The maximum number of Securities to be issued by the Company is 5,000,000 Shares and 500,000 Options.

4

  • (ii) The Securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date.

  • (iii) The Securities will be issued in consideration of the acquisition of 80% of the share capital in Coexco and the right to acquire the remaining 20% of the share capital in Coexco under the terms of the Bafwasende Acquisition Agreement. The deemed issue price of the Securities is $0.30 per Share (which was the closing price of Shares on the day of execution of the Acquisition Agreement).

  • (iv) The allottee of the Shares will be Corporate & Resources Consultants Pty Ltd or its nominee and the allottee of the Options will be Mr Jack Hamilton or his nominee. None of the allottees are related parties or associates of the Company. Mr Reg Gillard and Mr Patrick Flint are directors of Lindian and are directors and have a beneficial interest in (but do not control) Corporate & Resources Consultants Pty Ltd.

  • (v) The Shares will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue and will be subject to quotation on the ASX. The terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure 1 to the Explanatory Memorandum.

  • (vi) The issue of Securities is for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – Ratification of Prior Option Issue

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue on 9 November 2007 of 200,000 Options to Mr Guy Scherrer (“Prior Option Issue”). Mr Scherrer is the Company’s senior project geologist and manages the Company’s on-site exploration activities in Africa. He is actively involved in the exploration and development of the Company’s project in Africa.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the Prior Option Issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 information is provided as follows:

  • (i) 200,000 Options were granted under the Prior Option Issue.

  • (ii) The Options were issued for nil cash consideration.

  • (iii) The terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • (iv) The Options were granted to Mr Guy Scherrer on 9 November 2007.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – Ratification of Prior Option Issue

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is provided above. By ratifying the Prior Option Issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
