Financial Reports
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Company's Auditors in relation to the accounts of the Company at the Annual General Meeting.
RESOLUTION 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires that the annual Directors' Report contain a Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act.
By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:
- (a) discusses the Company's policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its executive officers and Directors;
- (b) addresses the relationship between the remuneration of the Company's executive officers and the performance of the Company; and
- (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the executive officers of the Company named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2008.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted. Pursuant to section 250R(3), the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 - Re-election of Director (Trevor John Matthews)
Clause 11.3 of the Company's constitution provides that at the Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being (or the number nearest one third) must retire from office. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.
The Directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have been in office longest since their last election. The directors, other than Mr Matthews, were elected or re-elected at the 2007 Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, Mr Matthews is the director who will retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting. Mr Matthews, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

He has worked in the resources industry for 20 years and is currently the Managing Director of Murchison Metals Limited and has held executive positions with North Limited, WMC Resources Limited and other listed entities in both operational and corporate roles.

RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES OF SHARES
Background
On 28 November 2007, the Company announced that it had raised \$2.5 million to fund ongoing exploration at its flagship Norseman Gold Project by placing 13,888,889 new Shares at a price of \$0.18 per Share (First Placement).
In addition, in the Company's ASX announcement of 15 August 2008, it was stated that the Company intended to immediately place 6,250,000 Shares (at \$0.032 each) to raise \$200,000 for working capital purposes. That placement was made on 25 August 2008 (Second Placement).
The Company has also placed 4,000,000 Shares (at \$0.026 each) to raise \$104,000 for working capital purposes. That placement was made on 10 October 2008 (Third Placement).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 approval
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not (without shareholder approval) issue equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital within any 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without prior shareholder approval can be ratified (and treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1) if:
- the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
- holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it.
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4) of the issue of these 24,138,889 Shares in order to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of its ordinary capital, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders:
First Placement
- (i) 13,888,889 Shares were issued.
