BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED

_______ Brett Tucker Company Secretary 22 October 2013

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 09.00am WST at CWA House, 1176 Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Thursday 28 November 2013. This Explanatory Statement 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.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in a reduction in the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.monteraymining.com.au

2. RESOLUTION 1 ~ ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

General

In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution that the Directors’ Remuneration as set out in the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report 2013 be adopted to vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Directors’ Remuneration at the Annual General Meeting.

Recent changes to the Corporations Act

Under changes to the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting was adopted by shareholders. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this annual general meeting.

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 2013.

Proxy restrictions

If you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel or Closely Related Party on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 ~ APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – SHARES

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Capacity).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 2 for it to be passed.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

( Eligible Entity ).

The Company currently has on issue 65,400,355 Shares and the last recorded closing price of the Shares on ASX at the date of this Notice was 2.3 cents. The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $1,504,208.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under this rule; and

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 2:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class 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 ASX trading days of the date in Section 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

or such longer period if allowed by ASX.

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the economic and dilution effect that an issue of the 10% Placement Capacity will have on existing Shareholders, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2):

  • (i) on the basis of the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice;

  • (ii) two examples where the number of Shares on issue has increased by 50% and 100%. 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 Rules 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (iv) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*The number of Shares on issue could increase if the Directors issue Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 22 October 2013.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 21 October 2013.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

  1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

  • (d)

Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use any funds raised towards the continued exploration and development of the Company’s gold permits in Burkina Faso, West Africa and gold tenements in Western Australia, as well as for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources 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.

  • (e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

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

  • (f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

As the Company previously received Shareholder approval for a 10% Placement Facility, being effected at the previous Annual General Meeting of the Company, it is required under Listing Rules 7.3A.6 that the following information be provided:

  • (a) During the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, being 27 November 2012 to 28 November 2013 ( Preceding 12 Month Period ), the Company has issued in aggregate the following Equity Securities:

  • a. 27,499,737 Shares

  • (b) Those Equity Securities issued during the Preceding 12 Month Period represent, on a fully diluted basis, 72% of the total number of Equity Securities that were issued on the first day of the Preceding 12 Month Period; and

  • (c) During the Preceding 12 Month Period, the Company effected various issues of Equity Securities, the particulars of which are following on the next page.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of these Ordinary Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company confirms that it is in compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5. RESOLUTION 5 ~ RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR ALEXANDER (SANDY) BARBLETT

Pursuant to article 20.2 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of three years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

The Company currently has three Directors and accordingly at least one must retire. A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.

MONTERAY MINING GROUP LIMITED ABN 15 062 959 540

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS

In accordance with the Constitution, Mr Alexander Barblett, the Director longest in office since his last election retires by rotation and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

Details regarding Mr Barblett are set out in the 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders.

7. RESOLUTION 6 ~ RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR ANDREW HABETS

Clause 19.4 of the Company’s Constitution states that the Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next general meeting of shareholders and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Andrew Habets was appointed to the board on 24 October 2012 and in accordance with Clause 19.4 of the Constitution seeks re-election as a Director.

Details regarding Mr Habets are set out in the 2013 Annual Report to shareholders.

8. RESOLUTION 7 ~ APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

BDO East Coast Partnership have been engaged as the Company’s auditor since 2011. The Company has recently relocated its head office from Queensland to Perth. Therefore a change to a Perth based auditor is considered appropriate. With this in mind the Company conducted a tender process to select the auditor and following this the board have recommended that BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd be appointed as auditor.

As required by section 328B(3) of the Corporation Act, a copy of the form for the nomination of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd as the Company’s auditor is attached.

9. RESOLUTION 8 ~ AMENDMENT OF COMPANY CONSTITUTION

Shareholder approval is sought for the amendment of the Constitution of the Company. If the special resolution seeking this approval is passed, the amendments will be effective immediately following the Annual General Meeting.

The Board is seeking amendment of the Constitution of the Company to enable it to undertake a sale of unmarketable share parcels to a third party in order to consolidate the share register and reduce the administrative costs of having a large number of shareholders.

Currently the Constitution of the Company permits a sale of unmarketable securities at the ‘Authorised Price’ as defined in clause 14.1 of the Constitution, defined as: “ the price per Share equal to the average of the last sale price of the Shares of the Company quoted on the ASX for each of the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of any offer to purchase Unmarketable Parcels accepted by the Company pursuant to the clause.”

The Board believes that the current Authorised Price is too high to permit a third party to undertake to purchase unmarketable share parcels and accordingly, approval is sought to amend the Constitution via special resolution as follows:

Replacing the definition in clause 14.1 of ‘Authorised Price’ with the following definition: “ the price per Share not less than 80% of the average of the last sale price of the Shares of the Company quoted on the ASX for each of the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of any offer to purchase Unmarketable Parcels accepted by the Company pursuant to this clause.”

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1. Your Name and Address This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please Contact the Share register on 1300 554 474 (toll free) .

2. Appointment of a Proxy

If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company.

3. Votes on Items of Business

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may, subject to the comments below, vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • (a) if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • (b) any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (b) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • (c) if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (d) if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (a) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • (b) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • (c) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (d) either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

  • the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

4. Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company’s share registry or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

  • (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

5. Signing Instructions

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

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign. Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign. Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged this document with the registry. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it. Companies: where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

6. Attending the Meeting

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for the member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

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