EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

$\mathbf 1$ Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at The West Australian Club on 28 March 2007 at 11.30am (WST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Board of Directors believes is material to Shareholders in relation to the resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting. The Explanatory Memorandum explains the resolutions and identifies the Directors' decisions for putting them to Shareholders.

$\mathcal{P}$ Resolution 1 - Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement

$2.1$ General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the Tranche 1 Placement.

$2.2$ Listing Rule 7.4

The Shares issued under the Tranche 1 Placement were issued within the 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 by ratifying the Tranche 1 Placement will be to restore the Company's ability to issue securities within that limit, to the extent of the 4,500,000 Shares and 2,250,000 Options.

$2.3$ Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4:

  • $(a)$ The Shares will be issued to RM Capital Pty Ltd and clients of RM Capital Pty Ltd (who are not a related parties of the Company) prior to the Meeting.
  • 4.500,000 Shares will be issued prior to the Meeting each at an issue price of $(b)$ \$0.08 to raise \$360,000 (prior to costs). 2,250,000 Options will also be issued (and 2.250,000 Shares on their exercise) for no consideration on the basis of one Option for each two Shares issued;
  • $(c)$ The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company once issued. The Options have an exercise price of \$0.20 and an expiry date of 31 August 2010 and further terms and conditions contained in Schedule 2:
  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice; and $(d)$

$(e)$ The funds raised by the Tranche 1 Placement will be used to supplement working capital and assist in evaluating and identifying new projects.

3. Resolution 2 – Authorise Tranche 2 Placement

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the authority to undertake the Tranche 2 Placement.

$3.1$ Listing Rule 7.1 - Shareholder Approval

Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the Tranche 2 Placement. 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 securities then on issue.

Although the Tranche 2 Placement does not represent more than the 15% of the Company's securities on issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, if Resolution 1 is passed by Shareholders, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Tranche 2 Placement so that the Company's future ability to issue up to 15% of the Company's Share capital in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval is maintained. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.

$3.2$ Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of Shareholder approval of the Tranche 2 Placement and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, information is provided as follows:

  • $(a)$ the maximum number of Shares the Company can issue under the Tranche 2 Placement is 7,500,000 Shares each at an issue price of \$0.08 to raise \$600,000 (prior to costs). 3,750,000 Options will also be issued (and 3,750,000 Shares on their exercise) for no consideration on the basis of one Option for each two Shares issued:
  • the Company will issue the Shares and Options no later than 3 months after $(b)$ the date of the General Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2);
  • the Shares and Options will be issued to RM Capital Pty Ltd and any clients of $(c)$ RM Capital Pty Ltd (who are not related parties of the Company) and Mr Gordon Sklenka, Mr Roland Berzins and Mr Alex Bajada (Directors of the Company);
  • $(d)$ the Shares to be issued are ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company. The Options have an exercise price of \$0.20 and an expiry date of 31 August 2010 and further terms and conditions contained in Schedule 2:
  • the funds raised by the Tranche 2 Placement will be used to supplement (e) working capital and to assist in evaluating and identifying new projects;
  • the allotment of Shares and Options will occur progressively; and $(f)$
  • a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. $(g)$

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 - Authorise Participation of Mr $\mathbf{4}$ Gordon Sklenka, Mr Roland Berzins and Mr Alex Bajada

Mr Gordon Sklenka, a Director, and/or his associates, proposes to subscribe for 1,000,000 Shares together with 1 for 2 free attaching Options under the Tranche 2 Placement.

Mr Roland Berzins a Director and Company Secretary and Mr Alex Bajada, a Director, and/or their associates, propose to subscribe for 500,000 Shares each together with 1 for 2 free attaching Options, under the Tranche 2 Placement.

The terms and conditions upon which Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada will subscribe for Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement will be the same terms and conditions under which others will subscribe for Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement.

4.1 Introduction

The Company proposes to issue the Shares to align the Directors' interests with the performance of the Company and to provide an incentive for them to maximise the performance of the Company. Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the Directors to issue 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Sklenka and 500,000 Shares each to Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada together with 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Shares issued.

4.2 Reason for Resolutions 3, 4 and 5

Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act because Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada, as Directors, are related parties of the Company.

Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act restrict the Company's ability to issue equity securities to Directors, unless approval is obtained from the Shareholders. The effect of passing Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Sklenka and 500,000 Shares each to Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada together with 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for during the month after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX) in compliance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, without breaching ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval is required under section 208 (contained in Chapter 2E) of the Corporations Act because Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada, as Directors, are related parties of the Company.

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are separate resolutions and are in no way dependent on each other.

4.3 Specific Information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act

For the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act, information regarding the issue of the Shares is provided as follows:

$(a)$ the related parties to whom Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 would permit financial benefits to be given are Mr Gordon Sklenka, Mr Roland Berzins and Mr Alex Bajada (or their nominees);

  • $(b)$ the nature of the financial benefits are 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Sklenka, 500,000 Shares each to Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada together with 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Shares issued;
  • $(c)$ Mr Charles Mostert (the Director who does not have an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3, 4 or 5) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 as it is considered that the performance of Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada and the performance and value of the Company are closely related as the Directors participate in setting the direction of the Company. Mr Sklenka. Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada are also an invaluable source of advice to the Company's management and consequently the Company's management feels strongly that they should participate in the upside of the Company. This aligns the interests of the Company and the Directors.
  • $(d)$ Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada have an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, and do not propose to make a recommendation in relation to Resolutions 3, 4 or 5.
  • The following table demonstrates the dilution of all other Shareholders' $(e)$ holdings in the Company, upon issue of the Shares to Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada in accordance with Resolutions 3, 4 and 5:

    • $(A)$ the date of approval of the Tranche 1 & 2 Placements then each would make a loss of \$0.007 per Share (being a loss of

\$7,000 in total for Mr Sklenka and a loss of \$3,500 in total for Mr Berzins and Mr Baiada):

  • $(ii)$ in relation to the Options, Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada are receiving the Options for nil consideration. The Options are listed options and accordingly may be sold. If the Options to be issued to Mr Sklenka, Mr Berzins and Mr Bajada were sold at the price on:

Proxy Notes:

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint a person or a corporation as the Shareholder's proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at that Meeting. If the Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting the Shareholder may appoint not more than 2 proxies. Where the Shareholder appoints more than one proxy the Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If such proportion or number of votes is not specified each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes. A proxy may, but need not be, a Shareholder of the Company.

If a Shareholder appoints a corporation as the Shareholder's proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at that meeting, the representative of the corporation to attend the meeting must produce the appropriate Certificate of Appointment of Representation prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from the Company's share registry.

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

  • Joint Holdina: where the holding is in more than one name all of the holders must sign.
  • Power of Attorney: if signed under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry, or alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
  • Companies: a Director can sign jointly with another Director or a Company Secretary. A sole Director who is also a sole Company Secretary can also sign. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate space.

If a representative of the corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate "Certificate of Appointment of Representative" should be produced prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from the Company's Share Registry.

Proxy Forms (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which the Proxy Form is signed) or a copy or facsimile which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of the Proxy Form (and the power of attorney or other authority) must be deposited at or received by facsimile transmission at the Registered office of the Company (1171 Hay Street, West Perth) or by post to PO Box 1922 West Perth WA 6872, or Facsimile (08) 9481 1155 if faxed from within Australia or +61 8 9481 1155 if faxed from outside Australia not less than 48 hours prior to the time of commencement of the Meeting (WDST).
