METALS X LIMITED ABN 25 110 150 055

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

ORDINARY BUSINESS

1. Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires the Financial Statements, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011 to be tabled at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”).

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.

2. Approval of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2011 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and executives during the financial year. A copy of the report is set out in the Directors’ Report within the Annual Report and can be found on the Company’s website at www.metalsx.com.au.

The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting. In addition, shareholders will be asked to vote on the Remuneration Report.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act 2001, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re‐election. Metals X encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1.

Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the meeting, other Directors or other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on Resolution 1. Key management personnel of Metals X are the Directors of Metals X and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Metals X, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies Metals X’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2011. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the Voting Form for that item of business. You should specifically note that if you indicate on the Proxy Form that you do not wish to specify how your proxy should vote on Resolution 1, you will be deemed to have expressly directed the Chairman to cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy but do not want your votes to be cast in favour of Resolution 1, you must indicate your voting intention by marking either “against” or “abstain” against Resolution 1 in the Proxy Form.

3. Election of Director – Peter Gerard Cook (Resolution 2)

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re‐election of Mr Peter Cook as a Director with effect from the end of the Meeting.

Clause 3.6 of the Constitution provides that at each Annual General Meeting one‐third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director or any alternate Director) for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then such number as is appropriate to ensure that no Director holds office for more than three years, must retire. Directors who retire by reason of clause 3.6 of the Constitution are those Directors who have been in office the longest since their last election. A retiring Director is eligible for re‐election.

Mr Cook retires from office in accordance with this requirement and submits himself for re‐election.

Mr Cook is a Geologist (BSc (Applied Geology)) and a Mineral Economist (MSc (Min. Econ), MAusIMM). In recent years he has been the Managing Director of Hill 50 Limited, the Chief Executive Officer of Harmony Gold Australia Pty Ltd, Managing Director of Abelle Limited and Chairman of both Metals Exploration Limited and Aragon Resources Limited. He has considerable experience in the fields of exploration and project and corporate management of mining companies. He is also a director of Westgold Resources Limited and Kingsrose Mining Limited and the Chairman of Pacific Niugini Limited.

Mr Cook has been a director of the Company since its incorporation in 2004.

Directors’ recommendation

The non‐candidate Directors unanimously support the re‐election of Mr Cook.

4. Election of Director – Dean Patrick Will (Resolution 3)

Pursuant to clause 3.3 of the Company’s Constitution, the Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either as an addition to the existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy. However under clause 3.3 of the Company’s Constitution any such appointment concludes at the next annual general meeting following the appointment. The Director is then eligible for election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution and provides for the confirmation of the appointment of Mr Dean Will to the Board pursuant to the Company’s Constitution.

The Board appointed Mr Dean Will on 12 July 2011.

Mr Will is a Mining Engineer (BEng) with a Master’s degree in Business Administration. Mr Will has over 26 years’ experience and has numerous senior and executive roles across a diversity of companies. For the past nine years he has been the Chief Mining Engineer with Mincor Resources NL where he has been responsible for mining engineering, project evaluations, assisting business development, evaluations and contract management and successfully played a key role in Mincor’s nickel expansion strategy.

Directors’ recommendation

The non‐candidate Directors unanimously support the election of Mr Will.

5. Issue of Options to Directors (Resolutions 4 to 5)

Shareholder approval under resolutions 4 to 5 is sought for the issue of options to acquire shares to the named Directors of the Company (or to their nominees), for the purposes of:

  • Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporation Act”), which governs the giving of financial benefits to related parties (such as directors of a company); and

  • ASX Listing Rule 10.11, which requires the issue of securities to a director of a company to be approved by the shareholders of the company by way of ordinary resolution.

As a result of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), approval of shareholders is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue of options to the named Directors (or their nominees), if approval of shareholders is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13 (in relation to the issue of options to Directors, or their nominees):

  • The options to be issued under resolutions 4 to 5 will be issued to the Directors named in those resolutions in the Notice of Meeting, being Messrs Hallam and Will, or to their respective nominees;

  • The maximum number of options to be issued is 1,250,000 to Mr Hallam and 1,250,000 to Mr Will (or their respective nominees);

  • The options to be issued under resolutions 4 to 5 will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • The options to be issued under resolutions 4 to 5 will be for nil consideration, and on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • No funds will be raised by the issue of options under resolutions 4 to 5, as they will be issued for nil consideration. Any funds raised from time to time due to the exercise of any of the options will be applied for such purposes of the Company as the Directors think fit; and

  • A voting exclusion statement is contained in the notes to the resolutions 4 to 5 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit, such as the issue of options, to a related party (including a Director) of the Company, unless either:

  • The giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act; or

  • Prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after the approval.

Each of Messrs Hallam and Will as Directors are “related parties” of the Company for the purposes of Part 2E of the Corporations Act, and the issue of options to each of them (or their nominees) may constitute the giving of a “financial benefit” for this purpose.

In accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to shareholders to allow them to assess whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to pass resolutions 4 to 5:

  • Each of Messrs Hallam and Will are the related parties to whom the proposed resolutions would permit a financial benefit to be given. Each of them is a related party of the Company by virtue of section 228 of the Corporations Act.

  • The nature of the financial benefit to be given to these related parties is the issue of the options on the terms set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

5

5. Issue of Options to Directors (Resolutions 4 to 5) (Continued)

  • The financial benefit to be given to Messrs Hallam and Will is to form part of their respective remuneration packages as assessed by the Company’s Remuneration Committee.

  • Messrs Hallam and Will decline to make a recommendation to shareholders in respect to resolutions 4 to 5 as they each have a material personal interest in the outcome of the resolutions to the extent that the resolutions provide for the issue of options to each of them.

  • Messrs Cook, Jefferies and Zhang recommend that shareholders approve resolutions 4 to 5, for the reasons set out in this Explanatory Memorandum and on the basis that, in their opinion, the proposed participation in the issue of options to the named Directors, is fair and reasonable having regard to the terms of the options.

  • Messrs Hallam and Will have an interest on resolutions 4 to 5. Details of the potential benefits and costs to the Company are listed below.

Potential Benefits

If the options are issued to Messrs Hallam and Will (or their nominees), pursuant to the proposed resolutions, the Company considers the following benefits arise:

  • Each of Messrs Hallam and Will shall have a vested interest in the affairs of the Company. As options are a performance based incentive, Messrs Hallam and Will will have a financial incentive to ensure the market price of the underlying shares of the Company increase to create value in the options, and this will benefit all shareholders.

  • The issue of options is a non‐cash form of remuneration, thus conserving liquid funds.

Potential Costs

The potential costs to the Company of the placement of an aggregate of 2,500,000 options to Messrs Hallam and Will is that there will be a dilution of the issued share capital if the options are exercised. Based on 1,340,453,375 shares currently on issue:

  • The exercise of the options would have a dilutionary effect of approximately 0.2%. There are currently the following options on issue in the Company:
**Type ** Number of Options Exercise Price Expiry Date
Unlisted Employee Options 225,000 36 cents 31 March 2012
Unlisted Employee Options 1,000,000 45 cents 31 July2012
Unlisted Employee Options 2,850,000 13 cents 30 November 2013
Unlisted Employee Options 2,500,000 14 cents 30 November 2012
Unlisted Options 1,000,000 32 cents 30 November 2013
Total 7,575,000

If the options are exercised at a time when the market price of the Company’s shares is greater than the exercise price of the options, there will be a detriment insofar as the Company will be required to issue shares at a price lower than it might otherwise have been able to, with the result that less funds will be raised.

Related Parties Existing Interests

Messrs Hallam and Will presently have the following interests in shares and options of the Company:

Company:
Name Ordinary Shares Options exercisable at $0.14 expiring
30 November 2012
Warren Shaye Hallam 6,350,000 1,500,000
Dean Patrick Will

5. Issue of Options to Directors (Resolutions 4 to 5) (Continued)

Valuation

The valuation of the options is based on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum.

In determining the value of the options, the Company has made the following assumptions:

  • (a) A share price of $0.215 is used, based on the share price of the Company on 28 September 2011.

  • (b) The exercise price of the option is $0.26, being 120% of the assumed share price of $0.215;

  • (c) Price volatility of the Company’s Shares is approximately 58% which has been determined having regard to historical trading of the Company’s Shares on the ASX over the past 12 months;

  • (d) The average current risk free rate is 3.48% (based on the 3 year RBA bond rate);

  • (e) All options will be exercisable immediately; and

  • (f) All options will expire if unexercised on 30 November 2014.

Based on these assumptions and using the Black and Scholes option valuation model, the Company estimates that the options to be issued to Messrs Hallam and Will are valued at approximately $0.068 each.

On that basis, the implied value of the options proposed to be issued to each Director (or his nominee) is as follows:

Name Value $
Warren Shaye Hallam $85,000
Dean Patrick Will $85,000

Director’s Emoluments

The relevant Directors’ current salaries per annum (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by them when added to the implied value of the options to be received by each, the subject of resolutions 4 to 5 is as follows:

Name Description Amount per
annum $
Value of
options to be
issued $
Total financial
benefit $
Warren Shaye Hallam Salary $345,000 $85,000 $430,000
Dean Patrick Will Salary $337,900 $85,000 $422,900

Trading History

At the time of preparing this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX was $0.215. The price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX over the past 12 months has ranged from a high of $0.40 on 10 February 2011 to a low of $0.19 on 26 September 2011.

Other than the information set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, neither the Board nor the Company is aware of any additional information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to enable them to make a decision whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to pass resolutions 4 to 5.

6. Resolution 7 – Amendment to Constitution

New laws in respect of dividends

In June 2010 the Corporations Act was amended to allow companies to pay dividends out of capital and assets, as well as out of profits. Prior to the amendment a company could only pay dividends out of profits.

The “profits test” for dividends has been replaced by a new three‐tiered “net assets test” which provides that a company must not pay a dividend unless:

  • (a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;

  • (b) it is fair and reasonable to the company’s Shareholders as a whole; and

  • (c) it does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors (for example, the company would become insolvent as a result of paying the dividend).

Amendment of Company’s Constitution

Article 27.2 of the Constitution states that dividends may only be paid out of profits. This means that at present if the Company was to pay dividends it would have to comply with the “profits” test under the Constitution and not the new “net assets test”.

Whilst the Directors do not expect the Company to pay a dividend other than out of profits in the foreseeable future, they consider it would be prudent for the Company to amend its Constitution to allow for payment of dividends in the manner now permitted by the Corporation Act should that be considered appropriate at a future time.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
