Name А в Total
Options Options Options
Trevor Matthews 500,000 500,000 1,000,000
David Prentice 500,000 500,000 1,000,000
Kenneth Allen 500,000 500,000 1,000,000

Incentives

The grant of the Options is designed to encourage the Participating Directors to achieve the Company's objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership.

Under the Company's current circumstances the Directors consider that the performance based incentives to the Participating Directors, represented by the issue of the Options as noted above, are a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive for the Company, as compared to alternative forms of incentives, such as payment of additional cash compensation.

The number of A Options and B Options to be issued to each of the Participating Directors has been determined based on a number of factors including:

  • (a) Length of Service. Each of the Participating Directors having overseen the development of the Company culminating in its admission to the ASX in April 2005.
  • The Participating Directors have each (b) Continuity of Board Members. acquired a substantial and extensive knowledge regarding the Company, its operations, projects and major investors.
  • (c) Alignment of Interests. The Directors consider that it is in the interests of shareholders to align the interests of Directors and shareholders by encouraging Directors, subject to appropriate conditions, to have an equity holding in the Company. However, the Directors consider that similarly to other shareholders, this interest should arise through direct investment by the

Directors in the Company. In this regard, where the Options are exercised the Directors will be investing \$1,050,000 into the Company.

(d) Allocation of Options. The Directors have allocated the Options amongst themselves based upon the contributions each has made and is expected to make to the advancement of the Company.

The Directors have determined the exercise price in light of the recent price of Shares in the Company. In this regard, in the period since listing and before the issue of this Notice of Meeting, the highest price of Shares was 23.5 cents the lowest price was 18 cents. The latest available closing price prior to the date of the Notice of Meeting was prepared and lodged for submission to the ASX was 20 cents. The trading history of the Company from the date of listing on ASX is attached as Annexure D.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Participating Directors are related parties of the Company within the definition of that term in Part 2E of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits the issue of options to a related party of the Company without Shareholder approval. Section 208 of the Corporations Act also prohibits, subject to specified exceptions, a Company giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company without Shareholder approval. The proposed issue of options to the Participating Directors or their nominees may represent the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

As the exemptions in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act may not apply, approval of the possible issue of options to the Participating Directors is required from the Company's Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

As shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

  • (i) Mr Kenneth Allen has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 7 and declines to make a recommendation to members with respect to Resolution 7. Each of the other directors who do not have an interest in Resolution 7 recommends Resolution $\overline{7}$ .
  • (i) Mr Matthews is the Managing Director and is retained under contract. The contract is held with Mr Matthews' service entity which is paid \$120,000 per annum. His base consultancy fee for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 was \$45,000 and he received 500,000 Shares for nil consideration. Mr Matthews has been paid or is payable director's remuneration since 30 June 2005 to the date of this Notice, totalling \$40,000.
  • (k) Mr Prentice and Mr Allen are Non-Executive Directors. Their remuneration is \$24,000 per annum each. For the financial year ended 30 June 2005, they were each paid \$9,000 and received 250,000 Shares for nil consideration. They have been paid or are payable director's remuneration since 30 June 2005 to the date of Notice, totalling \$8,000 each.

(I) The existing shareholding of Messrs Trevor Matthews, David Prentice, and Kenneth Allen, and their associates is as follows:

Director Shareholding % of Issued Capital Optionholding
Trevor Matthews 1,211,681 3.62 500,000
David Prentice 350.000 1.04 $\sim$
Kenneth Allen 250,000 0.75 $\sim$

*The options are 30 cent options expiring on 31 July 2008.

  • (m) The issued capital of the Company as at the date of the Notice is:
  • 33,505,444 fully paid ordinary shares
  • 5,000,000 20 cent options expiring 31 July 2008
  • 6,000,000 30 cent options expiring 31 July 2008
  • (n) If the Options (pursuant to Resolutions 5 to 7) were issued immediately after the meeting, the issued capital would be:
  • 33,505,444 fully paid ordinary shares
  • 5,000,000 20 cent options expiring 31 July 2008
  • . 7.500,000 30 cent options expiring 31 July 2008
  • 1,500,000 40 cent options expiring 31 July 2008
  • (o) The Company was listed in April 2005. The trading history of the Shares is detailed in Annexure D.
  • (p) If any of the Options granted as proposed in Resolutions 5 to 7 are exercised, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders. Assuming all Options granted as proposed in Resolutions 5 to 7 are exercised, the total dilution would be approximately 8.22%. The market price of the Shares during the period of the Options will normally determine whether or not the Participating Directors would exercise their options. If the options are exercised at a price lower than the price at which Shares are trading on ASX, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
  • (q) The Options will be issued free as consideration for performance of work, both previously done and to be done in the future, by the Participating Directors for the Company and to secure an ongoing commitment of the Participating Directors to the continued growth of the Company. The Board considers that the granting of the Options to the Participating Directors constitutes valid consideration for work performed for the Company. The Company acknowledges the issue of options to Non-Executive Directors is contrary to recommendation 9.3 of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of the Options pursuant to Resolutions 6 and 7 to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development and the necessity to attract and retain the highest calibre of professional to the role, whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserve.
  • (r) The Options have been valued using the Black-Scholes Model, which is one of the most widely used and recognised models for pricing options. The value of an

Option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. Their assessment of the value of the Options has been prepared using the following variables:

  • the price of the underlying share is 20 cents;
  • the exercise price is 30 cents for A Options and 40 cents for B Options;
  • $\bullet$ the option term is 2.5 years;
  • a volatility factor range of 50% to 75% (based on the volatility factors of comparable companies due to the Company not having traded for a sufficient period to determine an appropriate volatility factor);
  • expected dividend vield of \$nil; and
  • a risk free interest rate of 5.25%.

Using the abovementioned variables the Black-Scholes Model calculates a range of values as described below:

  • A Options to range between 4 cents (based on a volatility factor of 50%) to 7 cents (based on a volatility factor of 75%), giving a total value of \$60,000 to \$105,000 for the 1,500,000 A Options proposed to be granted in Resolutions 5 to $7:$ and
  • B Options to range between 3 cents (based on a volatility factor of 50%) to 6 cents (based on a volatility factor of 75%), giving a total value of \$45,000 to \$90,000 for the 1,500,000 B Options proposed to be granted in Resolutions 5 to 7.

Any change in the variables applied in the Black-Scholes Model between the date of the valuation and the date the Options are granted would have an impact on their value. A discount to the value of the Options may be appropriate as the Options will not be listed options and therefore the liquidity or ability to sell the options is reduced.

  • (s) Members should read all relevant sections of this Explanatory Memorandum in full and decide whether to vote in favour or otherwise for this resolution.
  • (t) Other than the information provided above and otherwise set out in the Notice, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass this Resolution.

Resolutions 8 to 10 - Grant of Options to Senior Executives

It is proposed to grant Options to the Company Secretary and two consultants who provide services to the Company. Each of the Company Secretary and the two consultants are considered to be senior executives of the Company.

Mr John Coles was appointed Company Secretary and undertook the Chief Financial Officer role in February 2005. Mr Mark Sampson is the Technical Manager and Mr Lindsay Cahill is the Exploration Manager. Each of these senior executives has acquired a substantial and extensive working knowledge regarding the Company, its operation and projects. The Directors believe it is in the interests of the Company to secure the ongoing commitment of the senior executives to the Company and the

continued growth of the Company through issuing the Options free as consideration for performance of work, both previously done and to be done in the future, by the senior executives of the Company.

In addition, the Directors consider that it is in the interests of shareholders to align the interests of senior executives and shareholders by encouraging senior executives, subject to appropriate conditions, to have an equity holding in the Company. However, the Directors consider that similarly to other shareholders, this interest should arise through direct investment by the senior executives in the Company. In this regard, where the Options are exercised the senior executives will be investing \$525,000 into the Company.

All the Directors recommend that Resolutions 8 to 10 be approved.
