The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting of which this Explanatory Statement forms a part.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of 7,772,500 Shares

On 16 April 2013 the Company made a placement of 12,000,000 shares to institutional and sophisticated investors. Of these Shares 7,772,500 Shares were issued within the 15% capacity permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 7,772,500 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

1.1 ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits a company to issue securities representing no more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. The Company issued the Shares within the 15% capacity permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of securities made without the approval of shareholders to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provided the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

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 made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this 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.

1.2 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the Placement:

1.2.1 The number of securities allotted

The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

1.2.4 Names of the allottees (if known) or basis on which allottees were determined

The allotment was made to institutional and sophisticated investors being clients of Pinnacle Equities Pty Limited (AFSL No 300766), and was not made to any related party of the Company.

1.2.5 The use or intended use of the funds raised

The funds raised will be used to fund further exploration at the Company’s projects, for new project review and for working capital purposes.

1.2.6 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement forms part of this Notice.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 4,227,250 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

2.1 ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Securities up to 10% of its issued capital, provided that it is an eligible entity (Eligible Entity).

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

At the time approval was obtained, the Company was an Eligible Entity as it was not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and had a market capitalisation of $2,000,000.

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

7

have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at the meeting.

Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
