Resolution 1 – Listing Rule 10.11 and Section 195(4) approval
A Prospectus for the offer of one ordinary share for each share held was lodged with the Australian Securities Investment Commission on 9 November 2010.
Listing Rule 10.11
ASX listing rule 10.11 stipulates that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to Directors (related parties) without the approval of shareholders. Requirements for information to be included in the Notice are included under ASX listing rule 10.13.
Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of ASX listing rule 10.11 therefore;

The maximum number of shares to be issued to the Directors from the shortfall will be 7,000,000 shares each, a total of up to 21,000,000 shares;
-
The shares will be issued no later than 9 February 2011 subject to shareholder approval being granted;
-
The shares will be issued at $0.01 each to raise up to $210,000, being the maximum participation of Directors of the Company in the shortfall, and will rank pari passu with existing fully paid ordinary shares;
-
The funds will be used to undertake soil sample analysis of the Company’s Turkmenistan project, debt retirement and for working capital requirements.

Section 195(4)
Section 195 of the Corporations Act 2001 essentially provides that a Director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that Director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.
All of the Directors therefore, may have a material personal interest if they take up the maximum proposed amount of shortfall shares. In the absence of this resolution, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Directors’ meetings necessary to carry out the allotment of shortfall shares allotted to participants in the shortfall. The final allocations of shares pursuant to the offer will be decided by the Board.
The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act 2001 to put the issue to the Shareholders to resolve.
