Letter from the Chairman, Mr Robert Kennedy

Dear Marmota Shareholder,

Attached is a Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum which includes a Requisitioning Shareholders' Statement.

Part way through 2014 your Board determined that the Company needed to reshape its approach to reflect changing market conditions. In the Board's mind was the gathering positive momentum of the uranium market and consequently the need to refocus on the Company's most valuable asset, the Junction Dam ISR uranium project. As a result the Company has since seen David Williams replacing the inaugural Managing Director. David is a former President of Heathgate Resources, the owner and operator of South Australia's first ISR uranium mine, the Beverley Mine, and now the operator of the new Four Mile ISR uranium mine. David has the relevant experience to carry forward the Company's interests in uranium to commercialise our resource at the appropriate time. To that end the uranium spot price has continued to improve and as I write this letter we have seen the $U_3O_8$ price rise from a low of USD28.10/lb on 20 June 2014 up to USD39.40/lb on 18 March 2015 (see TradeTech published prices). The position is even stronger in A\$ terms as the respective prices are A\$29.87 and A\$51.69 based on exchange rates of USD1:AUD0.9405 and USD1:AUD0.7621 respectively.

Your Board has also conducted a strategic review of the business and determined to adopt a more focused approach with less emphasis on frontier exploration and more on assets that can be commercialised. The focus has moved to solely uranium, copper, gold and nickel with non-core projects being taken to joint ventures or sale/relinguishment. The Company has also taken action to reduce costs to a level commensurate with the business' new priorities. A number of these initiatives have been implemented with the balance to be carried out when the situation allows.

Of the existing projects the key projects are the Junction Dam uranium project, Melton copper project and Aurora Tank gold project.

The Junction Dam uranium project (EL 4509 and EL 5124) has demonstrated its amenability to ISR mining, but the way forward is to work with the owner of the Honeymoon ISR uranium mine 10km to the west. We have a JORC inferred resource of 5.4 million pounds @ 557 ppm of $U_3O_8$ in the Saffron deposit* and await the opportunity for further exploration work once the outcome of the new owner of the Honeymoon Mine has been determined.

The Melton copper project (ELs 4648, 5122 and 5209) located adjacent to Rex Minerals' Hillside Project has a number of targets which the Company wants to drill and we are awaiting clearance to get on the ground. We are working towards resolution of access but expect delays for some time before the commencement of drilling.

The Aurora Tank project provides the Company with a fully free carried gold project with Apollo Minerals Limited (ASX:AON) and it is pleasing to see their recent announcement regarding a drilling program to be undertaken in April.

Marmota Energy Limited | 15 Adam Street, Hindmarsh SA 5007 | P (08) 8245 4000 | F (08) 8245 4099

* See ASX Releases dated 18 November 2011, 20 February 2012 and 18 July 2012. This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the aforementioned ASX Releases and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the inferred resource estimate in such announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Your Board, faced with the prospect of limited opportunities to conduct exploration drilling on its current assets, took the opportunity to look at the Munglinup Project in Western Australia with very exciting gold and nickel prospectivity. The Project presents an opportunity to have an active drilling program aimed at two of the Company's key commodities of focus in an area which has proven to be fertile exploration ground for nickel (Poseidon Nickel Limited's Lake Johnston nickel project and Sirius Resources Limited's Nova nickel project) and gold (Silver Lake Resources Limited's Great Southern gold project). It provides the Company with a small drilling program during April/May with an option to proceed with the whole project, and further drilling, if positive results are achieved. This work and the ultimate work on the other projects means the Company needs to be in a position to be well funded and have the ability to move quickly when the market conditions are right. Hence the final three resolutions to be considered at the Meeting are designed to give the Company that capacity.

Finally, the Board has been going through a renewal process. It has identified the need to keep the Board small in keeping with the size and complexity of the Company's operations and in order to conserve cash, but also the need to enhance the technical capabilities of the Board by bringing on some additional relevant experience. That process is continuing and is expected to be completed in the next few months.

The Board is currently considering a resolution to put forward at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company that would permit Directors to take part of their fees in options for Shares in order to enable the Company to reduce its cash outflow whilst providing a fee structure that will attract and retain suitable people for your Board.

The first three resolutions as proposed by the Requisitioning Shareholders seek to remove me, any new Directors appointed prior to the Meeting and to appoint one of the Requisitioning Shareholders, who, in the opinion of the Board, does not have any relevant technical experience. These resolutions directly interfere with the processes for the restructuring of the Company currently being implemented by the Board as outlined above and does not add value to or benefit the Company in any way.

The remaining resolutions seek the issue of shares and options in respect of the Munglinup Project (if the acquisition option is exercised) and to fund future exploration and working capital requirements. No director has any financial interest in the Munglinup Project or any of its owners. Qualifying shareholders will be welcome to participate in the placement.

The current Board of Directors, comprising Messrs Robert Kennedy, Chairman, David Williams, Managing Director, and Glenn Davis, Non-Executive Director, are very experienced in the resources sector and as directors of micro-cap ASX listed companies. The Board has enunciated a clear strategy of restructuring the Company, which it is implementing.

On this basis, on behalf of your Board, I recommend that you, the shareholder, vote AGAINST Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 and vote FOR Resolutions 4, 5 and 6.

Yours sincerely

Robert M Kennedy Non-Executive Chairman Marmota Energy Limited 25 March 2015

Approval of issue of shares and options

Background

The Company entered into binding term sheets on 12 March 2015 with two private entities under which the Company secured the right to acquire a package of tenements in Western Australia with known occurrences of gold, nickel and graphite (Munglinup Project). The Munglinup Project provides the Company with low cost exposure to proven geological terranes with drill ready targets and realistic commercialisation potential.

The Munglinup Project is located proximal to the southern end of the Lake Johnston nickel project operated by Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX:POS) and stretches down towards the coast south of Munglinup. The Tenements fall into two distinct geological terranes.

The northern section (E74/544, E74/545 and E74/551) is prospective for komatiite hosted nickel sulphide deposits and gold deposits of the Archean age Yilgarn Craton. These tenements cover the extension of the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt in which Poseidon Nickels' Maggie Hays Nickel Mine is situated. approximately 40km north of these tenements which are also on the same belt.

The southern section (E74/517, E74/518, E74/523, E74/531, E74/538 and E74/550) is

prospective for nickel / copper, gold, base metals and graphite in the younger Proterozoic Albany Fraser Belt. This belt includes the highly prospective nickel areas in and around the Sirius Resources NL (ASX:SIR) Nova nickel copper sulphide project, the Tropicana gold deposit, the Trilogy polymetallic deposit, and the Munglinup graphite deposits.

Exploration & Regional Development Potential

The initial drilling program to be conducted on E74/544 during the option period will target known nickel and gold anomalies identified from historical exploration activity conducted on the tenement by Mt Burgess Gold Mining Company NL (now Mt Burgess Mining NL (ASX:MTB)). This exploration activity included an airborne electromagnetic ("EM") survey, auger sampling, ground EM survey and drilling of RAB and RC holes. Mt Burgess reported historical drill results include 1m $\omega$ 2.97 g/t Au and 27m $\omega$ 2,170 ppm Ni as well as numerous intercepts of komatiite rocks which host nickel deposits to the north.

The area is considered to be the southern extension of the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt that includes the Maggie Hays Nickel Mine 40km to the north. Poseidon Nickel announced on 16 December 2014 that it anticipated a restart of operations at the Lake Johnston project in 2015 with offtake negotiations for Lake Johnston well advanced with several interested parties. This presents positive news for not just the potentiality for nickel in the Tenement's region, but also for the feasibility of nickel production in this location.

Other advanced exploration results within the Tenements include:

E74/538

  • Contains the Young River Graphite Deposit and is considered prospective for graphite, $\bullet$ nickel sulphide and vermiculite mineralisation
  • Contains a small nickel laterite deposit (Boanernup) drilled in 1970
  • Although sulphides have been noted from historical drilling of the nickel laterite, there

Figure 1: Map of tenements in Munglinup project

has been no EM conducted over this tenement

(see Lithex Resources Ltd ASX Release Exploration Update presentation dated 15 November 2013)

Munglinup Central (E74/518)

  • Historical drilling undertaken by Lithex Resources Ltd (ASX:LTX) in 2013 identified Ni and Cu during geological logging of diamond core samples that were specifically selected for graphite prospectivity
  • Broad zones anomalous in Cu, Ni and platinum group elements were encountered and potentially represent the distal expression of a nickel sulphide deposit
  • Most significant results were 6.3m with:
  • 1.055ppm Ni. $\circ$
  • 683ppm Cu. $\circ$
  • 5.241ppm Zn. $\bigcap$
  • $\circ$ 476ppm Co
  • VTEM survey data acquired by Lithex (which also covered E74/531), plus reinterpretation of existing SkyTEM data, identified 12 high priority and five moderate priority graphite and nickel sulphides targets.

(for more details see Lithex Resources Ltd ASX Release dated 10 September 2013)

The other Tenements in the package all contain untested geophysical anomalies which will require the acquisition of further data prior to drilling.

Acquisition Terms

Under a binding terms sheet (Terms Sheet) entered into with Sol Jar Property Pty Ltd (Sol Jar), the Company has three months to exercise an option (SJ Option) to purchase all of the issued capital of Sol Jar. Sol Jar holds a 100% interest in Western Australia minerals exploration licences E74/517, E74/518, E74/523, E74/531, E74/538, E74/544 and E74/545, Sol Jar also holds a 100% interest in the NSW minerals exploration licence EL 7195 which has previously been mined for graphite.

In consideration for being granted the SJ Option, the Company will conduct a drilling program on E74/544 to a maximum cost of \$55,000 within three months of executing the Terms Sheet. Through this drilling program, the Company will be targeting some of the known nickel and gold anomalies. If the Company elects to exercise the SJ Option, the Company will pay \$50,000 cash (SJ Cash Consideration) and issue Sol Jar with 15 million Shares and 7.5 million Options at an exercise price of \$0.02 per share and expiry dated 30 June 2016 (SJ Equity Consideration).

Under a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) entered into with Borg Geoscience Pty Ltd (Borg), the Company has agreed to acquire two further tenements E74/550 and E74/551 upon the exercise of the SJ Option. The consideration for the Borg tenements is the issue of 1 million Shares and the granting of 0.5 million Options with the same exercise and expiry date as those to be issued to Sol Jar (Borg Consideration).

Approval of future issues of shares

Background

The Company's stated strategy includes an active exploration and development program in relation to its key tenements. The Company has been implementing a more focused approach with its strategic vision and has developed key exploration programs to implement in accordance with that vision.

The Company's immediate focus is on testing the prospectivity of the Munglinup Project before deciding whether to exercise the Option to acquire the Munglinup Project, as outlined in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5. In the event that the Company does exercise the Option, it will look to commence a detailed exploration program over the Munglinup Project. It has also planned to conduct preliminary exploration work and drilling programs on the Company's Indooroopilly and Muckanippie tenements. These programs will require the Company to raise further capital. In the case of the Munglinup Project exploration program, this would commence soon after the Option is exercised. Whilst no decision has yet been made by the Board whether to exercise the Option or not, the Company needs to be in a position to be able to fund the exploration programs outlined above in the event that it does so decide. The funds required would exceed the capacity the Company would have to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.

A capital raising may involve a placement to professional, sophisticated and institutional investors (Placement). Accordingly, the Company seeks approval to raise additional equity capital by way of Placement so that, should the need arise, the Company can move expeditiously to undertake those exploration programs.

Regulatory requirements

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company is prohibited from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities without shareholder approval if, in doing so, it would mean that the number of equity securities issued in the preceding 12 month period would exceed 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period (Placement Capacity).

At the date of this notice, the Company is entitled to issue approximately 42,726,627 equity securities (before the issue of any Shares and Options pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5) without shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue up to a further 50,000,000 shares so that if this resolution is passed, the Company can issue a total of 92,726,627 equity securities, representing approximately 24.55% of the expanded share capital.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information:

ANNEXURE A

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO S, 203D(4)(a) OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT BY ROBERT MICHAEL KENNEDY

In respect of Resolution 1 to be put at the General Meeting of the Company I respectfully seek your full support by voting AGAINST the resolution either in person or by proxy. If it assists you I would be pleased to act as your proxy.

Marmota Energy Limited ("Marmota") was admitted to ASX listing on 20 November 2007 from which date I have been a director of the Company. The Company was formed to focus on uranium projects and has faithfully done so since that time culminating in the Junction Dam project which is referred to in the Chairman's Letter above and has the potential to significantly increase the market cap of the Company when the uranium price recovers even further and is sufficient to cause the restart of the adjacent Honeymoon Mine.

Whilst we wait for that development your Board has continually sought other opportunities for successful exploration and development and has joint ventured as much as possible and on terms as favourable as can be achieved in the market at the time.

Micro cap companies like Marmota rely on the infusion of funds to enable the Company to pursue current opportunities. Our focus has always been on directing those funds to exploration as much as possible.

As most of you know, I stood for election at the last Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and was voted in, receiving 61.65% of the votes of those eligible and voting - a clear majority. My experience as a company director extends to being Chairman of an ASX top 100 company as well as a number of other micro caps. I am known for my emphasis on Corporate Governance and my leadership skills on the boards on which I serve. To be eligible for re-election as a Director of Marmota, in accordance with Corporate Governance Principles, requires a resolution of the Board; a resolution that has been passed in my absence unanimously on each occasion prior to my subsequent re-election by shareholders. The current Board unanimously supports my continued presence on the Board and have recommended that shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 1.

Whilst I recognise the rights granted to shareholders under the Corporations Act to call meetings to remove directors and replace them with their own nominees. I think it is a pity that having been defeated at the last AGM that Dr Rose has motivated others to again join him. less than 4 months after the last AGM and less than 8 months before the next AGM.

I believe causing the Company to hold a General Meeting is a waste of shareholders' money as the new candidate has no relevant experience or standing.

Again I respectfully seek your full support by voting AGAINST the resolution either in person or by proxy.

Yours sincerely

Bob Kennedv

Dear Members of the Board

Notice of: Loss of Confidence in Chairman

Please accept this letter as formal notification that both of the two largest shareholders in Marmota Energy have lost confidence in Robert Kennedy as a director of Marmota Energy. We ask that Mr Kennedy please tender his resignation by close of business on Friday 13 March 2015. We note that this decision has been reached after discussions with other Top 20 shareholders.

In the event that Mr Kennedy does not voluntarily step down, we will have no option but to:

  • advise the ASX of our loss of confidence in Mr Kennedy; a)
  • b) take steps under Section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 to have Mr Kennedy removed.

The process of canvassing suitable replacement candidates, in particular those with a geological background, is already underway, with potential candidates from WA, South Australia and NSW. If needed in the interim, Dr Rose is prepared to offer his services on a pro bono basis, to help oversee the change, on a temporary basis, until a suitable candidate is found to the Board's satisfaction.

The process of Board Renewal is being implemented to serve the interests of shareholders (rather than directors), and to operate under a dramatically lower cost environment. We believe these changes are manifestly in the best interests of shareholders and the company, and that the resulting changes to the company, its cost structure and its culture will herald a new and invigorated future for Marmota Energy, focused on exploration, not administration.

Yours sincerely

Dr Colin Rose and on behalf of: Joseph Richard Mistarz
