In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

As a Shareholder, you are entitled to submit one written question to the auditor prior to the Meeting provided that the question relates to:

  • (c) the content of the Auditor’s Report; or

  • (d) the conduct of the audit in relation to the Financial Report.

3

written questions submitted prior to the deadline stated above. Copies of the questions, if any, submitted to the Company’s auditor will be available at the meeting and posted on the Company’s website.

1. Resolution 1 –Remuneration Report

1.1 General

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to a non-binding vote of Shareholders. The Annual Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Managing Director, specified executives and non-executive Directors, where applicable. The Annual Report will be available on the Company's website at www.axgmining.com.au from 31 October 2012.

The provisions of the Corporations Act dealing with the non-binding vote on the remuneration report have recently been amended. The Corporations Act still provides that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders and does not bind the directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy.

In addition, the Corporations Act amendments now set out a ‘two strikes’ re-election process. Under the ‘two strikes’ re-election process, if the Company’s remuneration report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more of all votes cast at two consecutive Annual General Meetings (that is, ‘two strikes’), a resolution (the “spill resolution”) must be put to the second Annual General Meeting, requiring Shareholders to vote on whether the Company must hold another general meeting (known as the ‘spill meeting’) to consider the appointment of all of the Directors who stand for re-appointment (other than the Managing Director). If the spill resolution is approved by a simple majority of 50% or more of the eligible votes cast, the ‘spill meeting’ must be held within 90 days of that second Annual General Meeting (unless none of the Directors, other than the Managing Director, stand for re-appointment). Further information will be provided on the ‘spill resolution’ and the ‘spill meeting’ for any Annual General Meeting at which the Company may face a ‘second strike’.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.

The remuneration levels for directors, officer and senior managers are competitively set to attract and retain appropriate directors and key management personnel.

The chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

4

1.2 Voting Restriction for Key Management Personnel

A vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, a person described above may vote on this Resolution if:

  • (a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; and

  • (b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) above.

1.3 Voting Restrictions where Proxy is Key Management Personnel

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the member of Key Management Personnel or Closely Related Party on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Gordon Sklenka

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 11.3 and 11.4 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) for the time being must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are to be those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire. Mr Gordon Sklenka, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

A brief resume of Mr Sklenka is contained in the Annual Report.

The Board believes that Mr Sklenka has performed the duties and responsibilities of a Director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Sklenka.

3. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual

5

general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section (c) of commentary on Listing Rule 7.1A immediately below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, Shares and Listed Options.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (1) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (2) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

6

  • (3) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

  • (4) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 533,132,597 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 79,969,889 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 53,313,259 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section (c) of commentary on Listing Rule 7.1A immediately above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

7

  • (ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period as allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice.

  • (d) The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific

8

placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (i) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by approximately 50% and increased by approximately 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Listed Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.003, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 19 October 2012.

  • (e) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

9

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new hard rock mineral assets and investments, predominantly copper/gold and predominantly in Africa. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company will use the funds raised towards the acquisition of new hard rock mineral assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), and/or exploration and development on the Company’s recently announced copper/gold projects in Zambia and/or general working capital.

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (h) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (i) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

  • (j) Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

  • (k) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (l) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 6.
