AXG MINING LIMITED ACN 092 304 964

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of AXG Mining Limited to be held at Victoria Hotel, 226 Hay Street, Western Australia at 6.00pm (WST) on 28 November 2014. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the Resolutions proposed. Certain terms used in the Notice and Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 10.

1. FINANCIAL AND OTHER REPORTS

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and the accompanying Directors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration and Auditor’s Report will be laid before the Meeting.

Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote on the reports. However, Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about the reports at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the Auditor’s Report and audit conduct. Written questions may be submitted 5 business days prior to the Meeting addressed to the Chairman and sent to the Company’s registered office, about the management of the Company, or addressed to the Company’s auditor and sent to the Company’s registered office about audit conduct, accounting policies used by the Company and auditor independence. General questions about the management of the Company will also be taken.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

As required by the Corporations Act, the Board is presenting the Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by a non-binding vote. The Remuneration Report contains:

  • information about Board Policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company’s Directors and senior executives;

  • a description of the relationship between remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

  • a summary of performance conditions, including a summary of why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them; and

  • remuneration details for each executive and non-executive Directors, and Key Management Personnel.

The Remuneration Report, which is part of the 2014 Annual Report, has been sent to Shareholders (except those who have made an election not to receive the Annual Report). Copies of the 2014 Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s Share Registry or visiting the following web site (www.asx.com.au) (ASX Code: AXC).

The Meeting presents an opportunity to discuss the Remuneration Report for Shareholders who are interested in doing so. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Shareholders are informed that under recent reforms to the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the vote on this Resolution are against adopting the Remuneration Report, the Company will be required to consider and report to Shareholders in the next Remuneration Report on what action is proposed to be (if any) or has been taken in response to Shareholder concerns, and if no action is proposed to be taken, the Board’s reasons for this.

Shareholders also need to be aware that as a result of the legislation which became effective on 1 July 2011 a “two strikes” process will apply to the results of voting in relation to this Resolution. This means that if the resolution proposing adoption of the Remuneration Report receives a “no” vote of over 25% of votes cast by those attending in person or by proxy and permitted to vote, at two successive annual general meetings, then at the Company’s 2015 annual general meeting, an extra resolution must be put to the meeting proposing that

5

another general meeting should be held within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. A simple majority of over 50% of the votes cast at the 2015 annual general meeting is required to pass this extra resolution. If the resolution is passed, within 90 days another general meeting must be held at which all the Directors, except the Managing Director and any new Directors appointed since the date of the 2015 annual general meeting, will be required to resign and offer themselves for re-election. These provisions are colloquially referred to as the “two strikes rule” and the “spill resolution” to be put to the “spill meeting”.

If at the spill meeting, the resolutions are all passed against re-electing the relevant Directors, the legislation includes a mechanism to ensure the Board continues with the statutory required minimum of 3 Directors. After the Managing Director, the remaining two positions will be filled by the Directors whose re-election resolutions at the spill meeting received the highest percentage of votes in favour of re-election. If the number of votes is the same for two Directors, the Managing Director and any other Director whose re-election has been confirmed at this spill meeting, can choose who is to become the third Director, with such appointment to be confirmed by shareholders at the 2016 annual general meeting. The ramifications of this mechanism being invoked include that the Company would not be in compliance with its corporate governance policies as a result of not having three independent directors on the Company’s audit committee or any other committees requiring independent directors.

Furthermore, depending on the outcome of voting at the subsequent annual general meeting, Shareholders may be obliged to consider a resolution to requiring the full Board (excluding the Managing Director) to seek reelection.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intentions.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO XTL ENERGY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

6.1 Background

The Company proposes to issue a total of 14,285,714 Shares to XTL Energy International Ltd or their nominees, in consideration of the exercise of the option to acquire EL63/1617.

The tenement is adjacent to the existing two tenements held by the Company in the Fraser Range which the Company considers prospective for nickel. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 14,285,714 Shares to XTL Energy International Ltd (or their nominees) as consideration for the exercise of the option to acquire EL63/1617 by the Company.

The Company is currently reviewing recent data acquired by geophysical surveys and anticipates that it will soon be exercising its option to acquire this tenement and according Shareholder approval is sought to issue the Shares subject to the exercise of the option and acquisition of the tenement.

6.2 Listing Rules Chapter 7

Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities then on issue.

By approving the issue of Shares the subject of Resolution 5, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

In the event that Shareholder approval is not obtained for the issue of the Shares the subject to Resolution 5, those Shares will be nonetheless issued to the extent permissible under the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity, thereby reducing the capacity for the Company to issue further securities without first having to seek Shareholder approval.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

6.3 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the proposed issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 5:

  • (a) A maximum of 14,285,714 Shares are proposed to be issued;

  • (b) The Shares are to be issued to XTL Energy International Limited.

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

  • (d) The Shares will be issued as soon as practicable after the Meeting, and in any event, within 3 months of the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) It is anticipated that all of the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (f) The Shares are being issued in consideration of the exercise of the option to acquire EL63/1617, and as such, no funds will be raised from the issue thereof.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

8

7. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

7.1 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 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 exact 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 7.2(c) below).

The primary purpose for the 10% Placement Facility is to enable the Company to raise additional capital without additional regulatory impediments and to pursue possible future investment opportunities that may arise.

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.

7.2 Description of 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 one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares (having the ASX code AXC).

(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:

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

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12

  • months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an

9

issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

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

Note that A is 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 the approval of shareholders 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 this Notice, the Company has on issue 574,237,316 Shares and has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 86,135,597 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 57,423,731 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 7.1 (c) 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

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders 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 if allowed by ASX ( “10% Placement Period” ).

10

5.3 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.

Resolution 6 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).

7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility 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, on which trades in those securities were recorded, 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 Table A (below). 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.

Table A 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 this Notice.

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

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 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 Options (including any Options 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 at 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of the issue 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 the issue of 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 $0.19, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 22 October 2014.

  • (viii) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (ix) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, and the total number of Shares on issue and approved or deemed approved at the date hereof for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 is 574,237,316.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 6 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders

12

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).

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

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets and investments. 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 intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

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

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).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

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

  • (e) The Company has obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2013 Annual General Meeting.

The Company issued has issued 9,113,900 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the preceding 12 months. During the preceding 12 month period a total of 688,273,865 Equity Securities Shares were issued (being 407,020,909 Shares and 281,252,956 Options), which based on the number of Equity Securities on issue 12 months before the date of the Meeting comprise 372% of the Company’s Equity Securities. Information relating to the issue of Equity Securities in the preceding 12 months is set out in the table below.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
