(Updated 17 December 2010)

1. BACKGROUND
Although employees (including Directors and consultants) are encouraged to become shareholders of our businesses, there are both legal and ethical considerations involved in respect of such transactions. The obvious legal consideration is the prohibition placed upon individuals trading in shares (ie buying or selling) where those individuals are in possession of “inside information”.
2. AIM
-
(a) To effect proper business controls.
-
(b) To protect the broader shareholder interests. (c) To meet legal requirements.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1. Who is covered by this Policy?
All employees, specified consultants (those consultants working for the Company on a regular or periodic basis as a substitute for engagement of full time personnel) and Directors of AML (which includes associated companies) and their close associates, and all AML Group companies.
3.2. What is a Close Associate?
For the purposes of this policy, a close associate is:
-
(i) any company in which you have a substantial shareholding;
-
(ii) any private trust of which you are a beneficiary; and
-
(iii) any person or company with whom you have an arrangement which would entitle you to control, or influence substantially, the exercise of any voting power of shares in any of the relevant companies.
3.3. What are Securities ?
For the purposes of this policy, securities are any listed or unlisted class of share, right or share option.
3.4. What is a Group Company ?
For the purposes of this policy, the AML Group companies incorporate Advanced Magnesium Limited and any other Company which becomes part of the Group as a result of a takeover offer or other form of acquisition by AML.

3.5. What is Dealing in Securities?
For the purposes of this policy, dealing in securities is a transaction that includes:
-
(i) the buying or selling of, or subscribing for, any securities; and
-
(ii) the sale of shares which are a result of the exercise of the Employee Share Options.
Whether on your own account or on behalf of another person.
The participation by an employee, consultant of Director in a capital raising (eg rights issue or share purchase plan) offered by the company to all Australian and New Zealand domiciled shareholders is not considered to be dealing in securities under this Policy. The issue of any share option to staff under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan is not considered to be dealing in securities under this Policy. However, the subsequent sale of shares from the exercising of these options does constitute such a transaction and must comply with this policy.
3.6. What is Inside Information?
For the purpose of this policy, inside information is information which has not been released to the Australian Stock Exchange, and which may have an effect on the price of the securities in the relevant company.
3.7. What is the Prohibited Period?
The prohibited period is a block-out period in which dealing in securities should not occur by persons covered by this policy.
A prohibited period occurs during the following times:
-
(i) two weeks prior to a Board Meeting;
-
(ii) one month prior to the release of Half Year and Full Year Results to the Australian Stock Exchange;
-
(iii) the period 3 weeks prior to the announcement of a capital raising by the company to the date of allotment of shares under such capital raising and
-
(iv) one week prior to the release of Quarterly Reports to the Australian Stock Exchange.

4. POLICY
4.1. Group Companies
You and your close associates should not deal in securities of the AML Group during a prohibited period.
At no time may you deal in securities in the AML Group when you are in possession of inside information.
In addition, when in possession of inside information, it is not permissible to:
-
(i) communicate the information to any other person; or
-
(ii) encourage or induce any other person to deal in those securities.
4.2. Non-Group Companies
You and your associates should not deal in securities in a non-Group company which you are aware is the subject of an unannounced significant commercial transaction with an AML Group company.
5. PROCEDURES
5.1. What must you do if you wish to deal outside the Prohibited Period?
You can deal in securities in any AML Group Company outside the prohibited period unless you hold inside information. Once you have completed the transaction you must report the details by completing a “Notification of Change in Shareholdings in Group” form. The completed form is to be provided to the Company Secretary who maintains a register of those transactions on behalf of the Audit Committee. The “Notification of Change in Shareholdings in Group” form is attached in Appendix 2.
5.2. What must you do if you have a special need to deal during the Prohibited Period, of if you believe you may hold inside information?
The Company’s default position is that there is a blanket prohibition on trading within a prohibited period or you a restricted in trading because you hold privileged information.. Under extraordinary circumstances the Executive Chairman in his absolute discretion may provide a dispensation to permit a trade if
-
the seller’s action is not in breach of any law; and
-
the seller is not in possession of “inside information”.
In the first instance you should contact the Company Secretary prior to entering into the transaction. The Company Secretary will assemble relevant information for submission to the Executive Chairman. That information will include an assessment of -
