EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW OF THE XTL TRANSACTION
1.1 XTL Transaction
On 5 March 2013, the Company announced that it had executed a 12-month option agreement with XTL over three respective strategic Albany-Fraser Range tenements ( Option Agreement ). The tenements include one with an immediate drill target within an interpreted layered mafic intrusion.
Under the Option Agreement, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in EL63/1547 (Mt Ridley), EL63/1564 (Mt Ridley E-W) and EL63/1617 (Mt Ridley N) (each a Tenement ).
Each option period will be for a 12 month period commencing from the date of the granting of each respective Tenement. Each option period may be extended for a further 6 months (on any Tenement) by the issue of Shares to the value of $50,000 per option. The deemed price of any Shares issued in respect of the extension of an option period will be calculated on a 5 trading day VWAP prior to the expiration of the respective option(s).
An option fee of $35,000 in cash and $25,000 in Shares (12,500,000 Shares issued at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share) is payable to XTL in consideration for the options granted under the Option Agreement ( Option Fee ). The Option Fee was payable within seven Business Days of the execution of the Option Agreement.
The consideration payable on exercise of each option is:
-
(a) EL63/1547: 250 million Shares;
-
(b) EL63/1564: 100 million Shares, and
-
(c) EL63/1617: 100 million Shares,
issued at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share ( Exercise Fee ).
The sale and purchase of any Tenement under the Option Agreement is subject to Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Shares as part of the Option Fee and Shareholder approval of the issue of Shares as part of the Exercise Fee.
1.2
Overview of Fraser Range Project
The Fraser Range project has substantial ground holding covering three tenements for 840km² in an emerging greenfields nickel province ( Fraser Range Project ).
Although based on limited exploration activity, the area has a base and precious metal focus, with encouraging similarities of geology between Nova & Mt Ridley.
5
3455-02/20130319 Notice of Meeting approved by ASX
The area is thought to have exposure to a range of potential commodities typical of these deposit styles: Ni. Cu, Co, PMG’s, Zn, Ag, Au.
It is anticipated that the Company will conduct a helicopter-borne geophysical survey in 1H 2013 on the Mt Ridley Project Area’s EL 63/1547.
The survey includes approximately 183 line-kms and will target a layered mafic intrusion previously identified by BHP. The interpreted layered mafic intrusion in the SW corner of EL 63/1547 is a possible target for base metal (Cu, Ni, V, Cr), platinoids and/or magnetite mineralisation.
The majority of the layered mafic is on private farming land and, subject to the Company obtaining any required consents/approvals, RC drilling could commence in about 7-8 weeks from receipt of the VTEM data.
The 12 month exploration budget for Mt Ridley is approximately A$400,000 and includes an allocation of aircore and RC drilling.
With regard to the other two tenements, EL63/1564 and EL63/1617, the exploration budgets and exploration programs for Mt Ridley EW and Mt Ridley N are currently being reviewed however are like to commence with regional geochemical sampling and, subject to results, auger / aircore drilling.
1.3
Existing Projects
In 2011, the Company switched its focus to South America where it entered into option agreements to earn up to 75% in two Cu+/-Au+/-Mo porphyry projects in Southern Peru, namely the Condoroma and Coporaque ( Projects ),
Significantly the Projects are situated along the highly prospective Andahuaylas Yauri belt, a known host of several world class Cu+/-Au+/-Mo deposits.
The Projects comprise 24 mineral concessions covering 17,764 hectares. Previous reconnaissance exploration has been successful in outlining a number of drill targets that will be the target of follow up drilling by the Company in mid 2013 following the spin-out on TSX-V.
(a) Condoroma Project (Company earning 55-75%)
The project comprises 12 mining claims covering 9,816 hectares and lies adjacent to historical Au, Cu, Ag, Pb, Zn mines. Previous geochemical sampling together with Induced Polarisation and Magnetic surveys has outlined a total of six drill targets covering a total area of 1.7 kilometres x 0.80 kilometres. Diamond drilling is scheduled to commence in mid 2013.
(b) Coporaque Project (Company earning 55-75%)
Previous reconnaissance exploration by Lara Exploration has identified outcropping porphyry Cu-Au-Mo mineralization and six areas worthy of follow up exploration. Follow up exploration will consist of more detailed mapping and geochemical sampling ahead of a maiden drill campaign later in the 2013 season .
1.4 Rationale for entering the XTL Transaction
The Option Agreement defined in section 1.1 augments the current operations of the Company, is complementary to the Company’s existing business of acquiring and developing opportunities in Australia and overseas and is
6
3455-02/20130319 Notice of Meeting approved by ASX
consistent with the Company's objectives to consider new investment opportunities to improve shareholder value.
The rationale for the Company’s entering of the Option Agreement includes:
-
(a) the amelioration of risks of operating in one country;
-
(b) the Fraser Range Project is close to existing infrastructure providing a low cost of exploration and mining; and
-
(c) experienced management and technical teams are dedicated to development of the Fraser Range Project.
Following the Transaction, the Company will continue to be in the business of exploring and developing gold and uranium properties through existing the Projects and have new exploration opportunities.
1.5 Provision of corporate services in relation to the XTL Transaction
On or about 6 February 2013, the Company entered into a mandate with Superstructure Energy Pty Ltd ( Superstructure ) regarding the provision of corporate services which included the introduction of the Company to XTL and the Tenements of which are subject of the Option Agreement ( Mandate ).
Subject to Shareholder approval, in consideration of the corporate services provided under the Mandate, the Company must pay Superstructure a fee of:
-
(a) $130,000 in Shares (65 million Shares issued at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share); and

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
4.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) post to AXG Mining Limited, PO Box 1922 West Perth WA 6872; or
-
(b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9486 1011,
so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.
