EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is an important document. You should read the document. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice of Meeting, you should contact your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
General Information .
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at the Perth Ambassador Hotel, 196 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, Western Australia on the date set out in the notice of meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with information which is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolution. This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting. This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Annual Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the Company for the year ending 30 June 2012 will be laid before the meeting.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports.

Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report.
In addition to taking questions at the meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:
-
the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;
-
the conduct of the audit;

-

RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012 is set out in the Director's Report on pages 7 to 9 of the Company's Annual Report.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the executive and non-executive Directors and executive employees of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.
Section 260R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director from voting on this resolution and technically prohibits the chairman from voting undirected proxies on remuneration report resolutions. Therefore, if shareholders wish to appoint the chairman as their proxy to vote on Resolution 1, shareholders must put a tick in the box labelled “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” for their vote to count. The chairman cannot vote on Resolution 1 and therefore any proxy forms received by the Company which appoint the chairman and do not indicate how the chairman is to vote will be invalid for Resolution 1 and the votes will not be counted for Resolution 1.
Due to recent corporate law changes from 1 July 2012, the shareholders of a company have the ability to spill a company’s board of directors if 25 per cent or more of votes cast are against the resolution to approve the remuneration report at two successive annual general meetings of the Company. Whilst this cannot result in any board spill at the 2012 annual general meeting, a spill of the board could potentially happen at the 2013 annual general meeting if there are more than 25 per cent of votes from shareholders who vote “NO” to the remuneration report resolution in 2012 and 2013.
If you require more information about this new law, please contact the company secretary.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – KASIT PHISITKUL
Clause 11.3 of the Company’s constitution requires that at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors must retire from office.
Mr Kasit Phisitkul, a non-executive director, retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with clause 11.4 of the Company’s constitution Mr Phisitkul has submitted himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting as a nonexecutive director.
RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR THE COMPANY TO ISSUE AN ADDITIONAL 10 PER CENT OF THE ISSUED CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY OVER A 12 MONTH PERIOD PURSUANT TO LISTING RULE 7.1A
Background
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of shareholders to allow the directors of the Company to issue an additional 10 per cent of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A on the same terms and conditions.
7
Introduction
Pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. If passed, this resolution will allow the Company to issue and allot up to 15,271,693 Shares (10% Securities) each at an issue price of at least 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company's quoted class of Securities (calculated over the last 15 days on which trades in the quoted Securities are recorded, and immediately before the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed, or if not within 5 trading days of that date, the date on which the Shares are issued) (Issue Price).
This approval is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A which recently came into effect. Under newly issued Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary Shareholders by special resolution at the annual general meeting (AGM), are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the AGM (Additional 10% Issue). The Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company may issue the 10% Securities to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below).
Funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities are intended to be used as follows:
-
working capital;
-
additional exploration activities at the Company’s mineral tenements; and
-
providing the Company with the ability to sole or part fund any additional project acquisitions.
Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) General
(1) Eligibility
An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Issue if at the time of its AGM it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.
As required by the Listing Rules, the Company's market capitalisation will be based on the closing price on the Trading Day before the AGM, and will be released by the Company to the ASX at that time. The calculation of market capitalisation will be based on the Closing Price of the Shares in the main class of Shares of the Company, on the last Trading Day on which trades in the Shares were recorded before the date of the AGM, multiplied by the number of Shares on issue (in that main class, but excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
For illustrative purposes only, on 19 October 2012 the Company's market capitalisation is $7.0 million based on the Closing Trading Price on that date.
The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index as at the time of issue of this Notice of Meeting and the Company does not expect that it will be included in the S&P/ASX300 Index at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
The Company is therefore an eligible entity and able to undertake an Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A.
8
In the event that the Company is no longer an eligible entity to undertake an Additional 10% Issue after the Company has already obtained ordinary security holders' approval, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to undertake the Additional 10% Issue.
(2) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue the 10% Securities under the Additional 10% Issue is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Annual General Meeting. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Shares will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at Annual General Meeting.
(b) Issue Period - Listing Rule 7.1A.1
Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Issue 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:
-
(1) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(2) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 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.
If approval is given for the Additional 10% Issue at the Annual General Meeting on 23 November 2012 then the approval will expire, unless there is a significant change to the Company's Business, on 23 November 2013.
(c) Calculation for Additional 10% Issue - Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Shares calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A = 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;
-
(3) 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 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.
-
D = 10 per cent.
9
- E = the number of Shares 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 7.1A.3
(1) Shares
Shares issued under the Additional 10% Issue must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Shares of the Company.
The Company presently has 152,716,936 of Shares as at the date of this notice. However, the Company is only seeking approval to issue ordinary Shares under the Additional 10% Issue in addition to its 15% capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1.
(2) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price for the 10% Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Shares in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(A) the date on which the price at which the 10% Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(B) if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (A) above, the date on which the 10% Securities are issued.
As required by the Listing Rules, Nex Metal's market capitalisation based on the closing price on the Trading Day before the Annual General Meeting will be released by Nex Metals to the ASX at that time.
(e) Information to be given to ASX - Listing Rule 7.1 A.4
If Resolution 3 is passed and the Company issues any 10% Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company will give to ASX:
-
(1) a list of allottees of the 10% Securities and the number of 10% Securities allotted to each (this list will not be released to the market); and
-
(2) the following information required by rule 3.1 0.5A, will be released to the market on the date of issue:
-
(A) details of the dilution to the existing holders of Shares caused by the issue;
-
(B) where the Shares are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the Company issued the Shares as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to) a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing Shareholders would have been eligible to participate;
-
(C) details of any underwriting arrangements, including any fees payable to the underwriter; and
-
(D) any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.
(f) Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
10
The ability of an entity to issue Shares 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 152,716,936 Shares, and therefore has the capacity to issue:
-
(1) 22,907,542 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(2) 15,271,695 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Shares that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1 A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A2 (as above).
Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
- (a) Minimum Price of securities Issued under Listing Rule 7.1 A - Listing Rule 7.3A.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A 1, the 10% Securities issued pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Shares over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(1) the date on which the price at which the 10% Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(2) if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the 10% Securities are issued.
-
(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution - Listing Rule 7.3A.2
As provided by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, if the Additional 10% Issue is passed by Shareholders and the Company issues the 10% Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing ordinary security holders of the Company. The Company currently has on issue 152,716,936 Shares. Upon the Additional 10% Issue, the Company will have approval to issue an additional 15,271,695 Shares. (The exact number of additional Shares to be issued under the Additional 10% Issue will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and set out above). Any issue of 10% Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
There is a specific risk that:
-
(1) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the Issue than it is on the date of the AGM; and
-
(2) the 10% Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Shares on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the 10% Securities.
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, Table 2 below shows the economic and voting dilution effect, in circumstances where the issued Share capital has doubled and the Market Price of the Shares has halved. The Table also shows additional scenarios in which the issued Share capital has increased (by both 50% and 100%) and the Market Price of the Shares has:
-
decreased by 50%; and
-
increased by 100%.

Assumptions and explanations
-
The Market Price is 5.0 cents based on the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 October 2012.
-
The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the Additional 10% Issue (assuming only Shares are issued) and not the 15% under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of 10% Securities available to it under the Additional 10% Issue.
-
The Issued Capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 17 September 2012.
-
The issue price of the 10% Securities used in the table does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).
(a) Final date for issue - Listing Rule 7.3A.3
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.3, the Company will only issue and allot the 10% Securities during the 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting which the Company anticipates will be 26 November 2012. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the 10% 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 of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company) before the anniversary of the Annual General Meeting.
(b) Purpose - Listing Rule 7.3A.4
As noted above, the purpose for which the 10% Securities may be issued include to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities are intended to be used as follows:
12
-
working capital;
-
additional exploration activities on the Company’s mineral tenements; and
-
providing the Company with the ability to sole or part fund any additional project acquisitions.
(c) Shares Issued for Non-cash consideration - Listing Rule 7.3A.4
The Company may issue 10% Securities for non-cash consideration, such as the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Shares for noncash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the noncash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Shares complies with Listing Rule 7.1 A. 3.
(d) Company's Allocation Policy - Listing Rule 7.3A.5
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of 10% Securities pursuant to the Additional 10% Issue. The identity of the allottees of Shares will be determined on a caseby-case basis having regard to the factor including but not limited to the following:
-
(1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
(2) the effect of the issue of the 10% Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(4) advice from corporate, financial and braking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees of the 10% Securities under the Additional 10% Issue 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 Additional 10% Issue will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
(e) Company not previously obtained shareholder approval under listing rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and the Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(f) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. At the date of the Notice, the proposed allottees of any 10% Securities are not as yet known or identified. In these Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of the 10% Securities), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible their holding will be diluted and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
