INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Date of Meeting 18 June 2008

  • 9 -

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

This Information Memorandum is intended to provide shareholders in Mindax Limited ABN 28 106 866 442 (“ Company ”) with sufficient information to assess the merits of the resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of the Company.

Resolution 1 – Agreement with Mr Tsang

Shareholder approval is being sought in Resolution 1 to ratify, and thereby approve, the entering into by the Company of an agreement on 27 March 2008 with Andrew Tsang, a Director, whereby Mr Tsang will effectively underwrite the exercise of June 2008 Options by agreeing to apply for Shares in the event that any of the June 2008 Options (other than Mr Tsang’s holding of June 2008 Options) are not exercised by their expiry date, 30 June 2008 (“ Agreement ”).

Mr Tsang is a substantial holder of Shares (he has a relevant interest in 16,811,243 Shares, which gives him a voting power of 19.9% in the Company) and is also the holder of 1,117,000 June 2008 Options.

Subject to the qualification described below, Mr Tsang has agreed to exercise all of the June 2008 Options that he holds on 30 June 2008 and to subsequently subscribe for additional Shares at the direction of the Company, if any of the other June 2008 Options are not exercised. These additional Shares are described in paragraph (a) (i) of Resolution 1, and are termed the “Additional Shares”.

Further, subject to the qualification described below, Mr Tsang can require the Company to issue him with additional Shares, if immediately after Mr Tsang has been issued:

  • (a) the Shares consequent on the exercise by Mr Tsang of all of his June 2008 Options; and

  • (b) the Authorised Shares,

his voting power in the Company is less than 19.9%. These Shares are described in paragraph (a)(ii) of Resolution 1, and are termed the “Top-Up Shares”.

The objective of the agreement is to ensure that, following the expiry date of the June 2008 Options, Mr Tsang, through the combination of:

  • (a) the exercise his June 2008 Options; and

  • (b) if required, the issue of the Authorised Shares; and

  • (c) if required, the issue of the Top-Up Shares,

  • (d) maintains a voting power of 19.9% in the Company.

Consistent with this objective, Mr Tsang’s obligation to exercise his June 2008 Options is qualified. The maximum number of the June 2008 Options held by Mr Tsang that he will be obliged to exercise will be that number (determined on the expiry date of June 2008 Options) represented by that number of Shares that will be issued on the exercise of Mr Tsang's June 2008 Options which, when aggregated with the number of Shares Mr Tsang then has a relevant interest in, results in the voting power of Mr Tsang being not greater than 19.9% in the Company, on the assumption that the Shares that will be issued in respect of those exercised June 2008 Options (other than those held by Mr Tsang) will have been issued before or, at the latest, at the same time as the issue of the Shares that will be issued to Mr Tsang.

  • 10 -

In consideration of Mr Tsang’s obligations under the Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Mr Tsang a fee of 5% of the amount that Mr Tsang pays to the Company on the exercise of his June 2008 Options and the subscription of the Authorised Shares (the “ Fee ”).

The price payable by Mr Tsang on the exercise of each of his June 2008 Options and on the issue of each Authorised Share is 20 cents.

Mr Tsang will receive no payment for subscribing for any Top-Up Shares. The price payable by Mr Tsang on the issue of each Top-Up Share is 20 cents.

The funds raised from the issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares (if any) will be used to fund planned exploration programmes on the Company’s iron ore, uranium, gold and copper exploration projects in Western Australia and for general working capital purposes.

The Directors have determined the issue price of the Additional Shares and the Top-Up shares in light of the exercise price of the June 2008 Options (20 cents) and the market value of Shares at the time of the Company entering into the Agreement with Mr Tsang. In the 12 month period before the date of this Information Memorandum, the highest price of Shares was $0.395 on 18 February 2008 and the lowest price was $0.064 on 16 August 2007. The most recent closing price prior to the dispatch of this Notice of Meeting was $0.25 on 9 May 2008.

Mr Tsang may without cost or liability to himself by notice in writing given upon or at any time prior to the Issue Date terminate his obligations under the Agreement if:

  • (a) any of the ASX 200 Index, the All Ordinaries Index or Banks and Finance Index published by ASX at the close of business on any day after the 27 March 2008 is 10% or more below its level as at the close of business on the 27 March 2008;

  • (b) any indication is given by ASX that any or all of the Shares to be issued to Mr Tsang will not be granted official quotation; or

  • (v) any material adverse change or any development including a prospective material adverse change after the 27 March 2008 in the assets, liabilities, financial position, trading results, profits, forecasts, losses, prospects, business or operations of the Company;

  • (vi) any written information supplied at any time by the Company or any person on its behalf and with its express authority to Mr Tsang in respect of any material aspect of the affairs of the Company or the group of which it is the holding company, is or becomes untrue or is or becomes misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive in a material respect;

  • 11 -

  • (vii) a Prescribed Occurrence occurs;

  • (viii) a judgment in an amount exceeding $500,000 is obtained against the Company and is not set aside or satisfied within 7 days;

  • (ix) the Company, or any of its related companies or any other associated entities, is in default under or there is an event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time could be a default under any financing or mortgage, charge or other security arrangement of any kind to which it or they are a party and involving a default or amount secured exceeding $500,000;

  • (x) after the 27 March 2008 litigation, arbitration, administrative or industrial proceedings that if determined against the Company would have a Material Adverse Effect (being a material adverse effect on the condition, trading or financial position, performance, profits and losses, results, prospects, business or operations of the Company taken as a whole)are commenced against the Company;

  • (xi) any act of God, war, revolution, or any other unlawful act against public order or authority, an industrial dispute, a governmental restraint, or any other event which is not within the control of the Parties occurs which affects the Company's business lasting in excess of 7 Business Days; or

  • (xii) a director of the Company is charged with an indictable offence.

Related Party Transactions Generally

Mr Tsang is a related party of the Company as defined under the Corporations Act because he is a Director.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

The agreement to pay the Fee is, and the agreement to issue the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares to Mr Tsang may constitute, a “financial benefit” as defined in the Corporations Act.

Current Holdings

Set out below are details of Mr Tsang’s relevant interest in the Shares and June 2008 Options as at the date of this Information Memorandum:

Direct and Indirect Holdings and those of Associates 16,811,243 Shares 1,117,000 Options

  • 12 -

Information Requirements

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.

The related party to whom the proposed resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given

The related party is Mr Tsang. Mr Tsang is a Director. He was appointed on 28 March 2008.

Mr Tsang will receive Director’s fees of $30,000 per annum, plus statutory superannuation of $2,700. Mr Tsang receives no other emolument or benefit from the Company for acting as a Director.

The nature of the financial benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is:

(a) the payment of the Fee to Mr Tsang; and

  • (b) the issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares.

The Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares are fully paid ordinary shares which will, from their date of allotment, rank equally in all respects with all other Shares then on issue.

Because the Fee will be calculated on the number of Shares issued to Mr Tsang on the exercise of his June 2008 Options and the Authorised Shares and as those numbers cannot be determined before the Expiry Date it is not possible to quantify the amount of the Fee.

Annexure “A” presents 3 illustrative scenarios designed to demonstrate the application of the Agreement and the financial benefits that Mr Tsang may receive:

Scenario A assumes that all of the June 2008 Options are exercised:

Scenario B assumes that one-half of the June 2008 Options are exercised; and

Scenario C assumes that only one-quarter of the June 2008 Options are exercised.

In each case it is assumed that, consistent with his obligations under the Agreement, Mr Tsang exercises all of the June 2008 Options that he holds.

Directors’ recommendation

Messrs Gilbert George, Gregory Bromley and Nicholas Smith (who have no interest in the outcome of the Resolution), but not Mr Tsang, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as they believe it is appropriate to issue to Mr Tsang the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares in light of the arrangements proposed in the Agreement.

All the Directors were available to consider Resolution 1 but Mr Tsang declined to make a recommendation due to the fact that he has a material personal interest in its outcome as it relates to the proposed issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares to him personally.

Other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors

Resolution 1 will have the effect of giving power to the Directors to issue Authorised Shares and TopUp Shares up to a maximum number to ensure that Mr Tsang maintains his 19.9% voting power in the Company as mentioned above.

  • 13 -

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the Company. If Resolution 1 is passed, the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares will be granted to Mr Tsang. Mr Tsang is a related party of the Company by virtue of him being a Director.

Accordingly, approval for the issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares to Mr Tsang is required pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to grant the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares to Mr Tsang as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholders should note that the issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares to Mr Tsang with approval under Listing Rule 10.11 will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under Listing Rule 10.11. For the purpose of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • (a) the Authorised Shares and Top-Up Shares will be issued to Mr Andrew Tsang;

  • (b) the maximum number of Authorised Shares and Top-Up Shares will be such number which when aggregated with all other Shares that Mr Tsang has a relevant interest in (to be determined immediately after all Shares have been issued consequent on the exercise of the Options on or before the Expiry Date, including those Shares issued to Mr Tsang consequent on the exercise by him of Options he holds) will result in Mr Tsang’s voting power in the Company equalling 19.90%;

  • (c) the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares will be issued and allotted within 14 days of the expiry date of the Options and within one month after the date of this Meeting;

  • (d) the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares will be issued at 20 cents per Share;

  • (e) funds raised from the issue of the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares will be used to fund planned exploration programmes on the Company’s iron ore, uranium, gold and copper exploration projects in Western Australia and for general working capital purposes; and

  • (f) the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares are fully paid ordinary shares which will, from their date of allotment, rank equally in all respects with all other Shares then on issue.

The Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Authorised Shares and the Top-Up Shares pursuant to Resolution 1.

Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by the proposed resolution.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR SHARE ISSUE

Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to an issue of securities representing more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any 12 month period. Listing Rule 7.4 enables a company to restore its ability to issue securities within the 15% annual limit by obtaining shareholder ratification of an issue previously made within that limit.

Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 is now sought in respect of an issue of 3,800,000 shares to professional and sophisticated investors introduced by Paterson Securities Limited at an issue price of 13 cents per Share. The Resolution will restore the Company's ability to issue securities within the 15% annual limit.

Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior placement:

  • (a) the number of Shares placed was 3,800,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares were allotted on 26 October 2007;

  • (c) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.13 per Share;

  • (e) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue; and

  • (f) funds raised from the issue were used for general working capital purposes.

If the resolution is passed, the Company will, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, be able to issue up to 15% of its issued Share capital without the requirement to seek the approval of Shareholders. The Directors believe this will be beneficial to the Company as it will allow it to capitalise on business opportunities if, and when, they become available.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR OPTION ISSUE

Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to an issue of securities representing more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any 12 month period. Listing Rule 7.4 enables a company to restore its ability to issue securities within the 15% annual limit by obtaining shareholder ratification of an issue previously made within that limit.

Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 is now sought in respect of an issue of 300,000 options to subscribe for Shares at an exercise price of 25 cents per Share and an expiry date of 10 January 2011 to various employees of the Company on the terms as set out below (“ Employee Options ”). The Resolution will restore the Company's ability to issue securities within the 15% annual limit.

Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior placement:

  • (a) 300,000 options to subscribe for Shares were issued on 10 January 2008;

  • (b) the Employee Options were issued for nil monetary consideration;

  • (c) the Employee Options were issued to various employees of the Company;

  • (d) the Shares issued on exercise of the Employee Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue.

If the resolution is passed, the Company will, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, be able to issue up to 15% of its issued Share capital without the requirement to seek the approval of Shareholders. The Directors believe this will be beneficial to the Company as it will allow it to capitalise on business opportunities if, and when, they become available.

4. RESOLUTION 4: APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain Shareholder approval prior to an issue of securities representing more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any 12 month period.

  • 15 -

Shareholder approval is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to enable the Company to issue up to 38 million Shares at a price per share not less than 80% of the average market price of Shares on ASX in the 5 days on which sales of Shares were recorded before the day which the Shares are issued and otherwise on the terms and conditions as set out below.

Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3 for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the proposed placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 38 million Shares;

  • (b) the Company will allot and issue the Shares no later than three months after the date of the Meeting, unless otherwise extended by way of ASX granting a waiver to Listing Rule 7.3.2;

  • (c) the allottees of the Shares will be professional and sophisticated investors introduced by the broker(s) to the issue(s), all of whom will be unrelated parties of the Company;

  • (d) the Shares will be ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary fully paid shares on issue; and

  • (e) funds raised by the issue of Shares will be used for future exploration programmes on the Company’s iron ore, uranium, gold and copper exploration projects in Western Australia and general working capital purposes.

The Board recommends the approval of the placement of Shares in accordance with Resolution 4 to allow the Company to assist with its future exploration programmes and general working capital.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE OPTION PLAN

The purposes of the Scheme is to provide a means by which employees and consultants, upon whom the responsibilities for the successful growth of the Company rest, can share in such growth and recognise the ability and efforts of those who have contributed to the success of the Company. There will be no issue price for options issued under the Scheme ( “Scheme Options” ).

The Company established an identical scheme on 21 January 2004 (“ Prior Scheme ”).

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 include Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by shareholders within three (3) years of the date of issue. As the Prior scheme is now over 3 years old any issues of options under it will not qualify for this exception and will therefore reduce the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue from time to time of options pursuant to the Plan, so as to preserve the 15% capacity allowed under Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b), the Notice sets out a summary of the terms of the Scheme.
