EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
TO ACCOMPANY NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
TO BE HELD ON 4 JUNE 2008
1. Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the Company's shareholders in connection with the General Meeting, to be held at 10.00 am on Wednesday, 4 June 2008.
2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Issue of 1,291,667 Options
On 22 February 2008 the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Glencore International AG (“Glencore”) for a mutual release of obligations under an Underwriting Agreement dated 29 November 2007 under which Glencore agreed to underwrite up to $1.0 million worth of Shares from any shortfall from the Entitlement Offer (“Offer”) made pursuant to the Prospectus issued by the Company and dated 13 December 2007 (“Prospectus”).
With the downturn and uncertainty prevailing in the market during January and February, 2008, the Company experienced a reduction in its share price such that the market price fell below the Offer price of 8 .0 cents per share. This resulted in minimal uptake of the Offer and the Board resolved not to accept any of the applications made under the Offer and application monies held in trust were returned to in full to all applicants.
In return for the Company releasing Glencore from its obligations under the underwriting agreement, the Company reached the following agreement with Glencore:
(i) to accept an application from Glencore for $1.0 million worth of shares or 16,666,667 shares at a price of 6.0 cents a share, being the last sale price on 20 February 2008, and issue 4,000,000 three year options exercisable at 9.6 cents. This resulted in Glencore having approximately 10.5% of the expanded issued capital of the Company (before exercise of options). Proceeds were applied to repayment of an interim funding facility of $1.0 million provided by Glencore in November 2007 as an advance against the underwriting; and
(ii) for Glencore to re-price and immediately settle all outstanding copper sales contracts for physical product delivered or produced and sold for deferred delivery by the Company during the preceding six months. The close out of these contracts resulted in an immediate cash injection to the Company of approximately $500,000. In the ordinary course of business, Glencore would not have had any obligation to close out the contracts prior to their due date for settlement being several months into the future, hence the Company has derived a benefit from early settlement in the form of accelerated cashflow.
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue. The effect of such a ratification will be that 1,291,667 of the 4,000,000 options to acquire ordinary shares will not be counted as reducing the number of securities which the Company can issue in the future without shareholder approval under the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ie the 15% limit is ‘renewed’ to the extent of the ratification or approval). For sake of clarity the remaining 2,708,333 of the 4,000,000 options to acquire ordinary shares were issued under the approval provided by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2007.

Resolution 1:
-
the total number of securities issued is 1,291,667 options to acquire ordinary shares;
-
the options were granted pursuant to an agreement dated 28 February 2008;
-
the terms and conditions of the options granted are set out in Appendix A to this Explanatory Memorandum;
-
the allottee was Singpac Investment Holding Pte Limited being a nominated associated party of Glencore International AG; and
-
no funds were raised by the grant of these options.
The Directors believe that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company. All the directors support this resolution and recommend that shareholders vote FOR Resolution 1.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution . It is required to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on it and is subject to the voting exclusion referred to in the Notice of Meeting.
3. Resolution 2 – Ratification of Issue of 1,010,221 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares
On 11 March 2008, the Company lodged Appendix 3B with ASX advising that it had completed a placement by way of an excluded offer under s708(1) of the Corporations Act for 1,010,221 shares at a price of 6.0 cents per share to raise $60,613 before ASX Listing Fees of approximately $1,200.
From the date of issue, the placement shares ranked equally in all respects with the Company’s then existing ordinary shares. The purpose of the placement was to augment the Company’s working capital position.
Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue. The effect of such a ratification will be that the 1,010,221 shares will not be counted as reducing the number of securities which the Company can issue in the future without shareholder approval under the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ie the 15% limit is ‘renewed’ to the extent of the ratification or approval).
Information Required by ASX Listing Rules
In compliance with Listing Rule 7.5, shareholders are advised the following in relation to Resolution 2:
-
the total number of Shares issued is 1,010,221 shares;
-
the Shares were issued at an issue price of 6.0 cents per share being equal to the then market price of the Company’s shares;
-
the Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s existing ordinary shares;
-
the Shares were issued to HSBC Custody Nominees (Australia) Nominees Pty Limited;
-
$$60,613 was raised from the issue of these shares, before issue costs of approximately $1,200 and the funds raised were applied to augment the Company's working capital.
The Directors believe that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company. All the directors support this resolution and recommend that shareholders vote FOR Resolution 2.

The Company proposes to issue up to 60,000,000 fully paid Ordinary Shares to third party investor/(s).
-
The Shares will be issued at a price not less than 80% of the average market price of Redbank shares quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (“ASX”) during the period of 5 trading days immediately prior to the date which the Company either
-
(i) signs a Prospectus and lodges it with Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”); or
-
(ii) in the event that a Disclosure Document is not required, on the date that the Company announces the issue to the ASX;
The proceeds from the issue will be applied primarily to reduce an existing secured loan from Macquarie Bank Limited by $700,000 due for repayment on or before 30 June 2008, and to fund the completion of a definitive feasibility study for the Redbank Copper Project.
Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of equity securities (eg shares or options to subscribe for shares) which a company can issue without Shareholder approval. In general terms, the limit is that a company may not, without Shareholder approval issue, in any 12 month period, equity securities which are more than 15% of:
-
the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the issue; plus
-
the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in that 12 months under an exception contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval.
Equity securities which are issued under an exception contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval do not reduce the number of equity securities that may be issued by the company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval of the issue of shares so that it does not reduce the number of equity securities that the Company may issue without further Shareholder approval. As the proposed issue would otherwise exceed the limit contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rules
In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3 Shareholders are advised the following in relation to Resolution 7:
-
(a) the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under Resolution 7 is up to 60,000,000 Shares;

-
(e) the Shares will be issued at not less than 80% of the average market price 5 days prior to trading prior to the date which the Company either
