Explanatory Memorandum to accompany Notice of General Meeting

This Explanatory Memorandum provides information for shareholders in respect of the resolutions to be considered at a General Meeting of the Company to be held at Karstens, Level 12, 123 Queen Street, Melbourne, Victoria on Thursday, 11 June 2013 commencing at 10:00 am .

Item 1 – Issue of shares and options to Kamax vendors (or their nominees)

Background

On 22 March 2013, the Company announced to the ASX that it had entered into a binding heads of agreement to facilitate the proposed acquisition of all the securities in Kamax Resources Limited ( Kamax ) from the securityholders of Kamax ( Kamax Vendors ). The acquisition would result in the Company acquiring more than 913sqkm of granted tenements and 669sqkm of additional applications across WA’s rich Fraser Range and Tropicana belts.

Kamax’s Cundeelee Project is located between two world-class discoveries being the Tropicana Gold Project to the north, owned by Independence Group and AngloGold Ashanti and the Nova Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project to the south, owned by Sirius Resources Limited. The tenement areas cover prospective targets for both Tropicana-style gold and Nova-style nickel deposits, with historical geochemical anomalies and scout drilling identifying bedrock mineralisation of both minerals.

Key terms of the proposed acquisition are as follows:

  • Kamax Vendors will receive 86 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for every 100 Kamax ordinary shares and 86 options in the Company (exercisable at 20 cents at any time until 30 April 2014) for every 100 Kamax options. Kamax has approximately 14 million fully paid ordinary shares and approximately 14 million options on issue;

  • 8,858,000 of the shares and options issued by the Company to Kamax Vendors will be subject to an escrow period;

  • Amongst other things, the proposed acquisition is subject to:

  • finalisation of share sale agreements between the Company and the Kamax Vendors;

  • there being no material adverse change, in the view of the Company, to the business of Kamax between the date of the heads of agreement and the date of the share sale agreements; and

  • the issue of Company shares and options to Kamax Vendors being approved by the Company’s shareholders.

As at the date of this Notice of General Meeting, the Company has completed its due diligence related to the acquisition and is expecting to finalise the share sale agreements shortly. The Company is also planning work programs to be initiated on the tenements following completion of the acquisition.

The Directors believe that the acquisition of Kamax represents an outstanding exploration opportunity for the Company as the Kamax ground is in a district that has delivered two of Australia’s most important mineral discoveries of the past decade and advances in geological understanding of this region, which has become a prime investment destination, are revealing the potential for further major discoveries.

Purpose of Item 1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires shareholder approval for an issue of equity securities if, over a 12 month period, the amount of the equity securities issued is more than 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of shares and options to the Kamax Vendors (or their nominees) as it will exceed the 15% limit as outlined above , If shareholder approval is received, the issue of securities to Kamax Vendors will not detract from the Company's 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Information required for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3

  • The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3: (a) the maximum number of securities the Company will issue to the Kamax Vendors (or their nominees) is 12,040,000 shares and 12,040,000 options;

5

  • (b) the securities will be issued on or about 20 June 2013. In any event, the securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting;

  • (c) the securities will be issued in consideration for the acquisition by the Company of Kamax securities as follows:

  • (i) 86 (eighty six) fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for every 100 (one hundred) fully paid ordinary shares in Kamax held by the Kamax Vendors; and

  • (ii) 86 (eighty six) options in the Company for every 100 (one hundred) options over ordinary shares in Kamax held by the Kamax Vendors;

  • (d) the securities will be issued to Kamax Vendors (or their nominees) according to their respective holdings of Kamax securities;

  • (e) the shares will be quoted on ASX and rank equally with all other ordinary shares on issue. The options will have an exercise price of 20 cents, an expiry date of 30 April 2014 and will not be quoted on the ASX. Each option will give the optionholder the right to subscribe for one ordinary share in the capital of the Company upon exercise; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the securities (see paragraph (c) above). Any proceeds from the exercise of the options will be used for general corporate purposes.

Directors' recommendation

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 1.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 1 by:

  • the Kamax Vendors (or their nominees); and

  • a person who might obtain a benefit (except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities) if the resolution is passed,

The Board (other than Mr Waddell) considered appropriate governance practices, market remuneration levels and the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Waddell when considering the grant of the Director Options to him. The Board considers the grant of the Director Options to Mr Waddell to be reasonable, given his contribution to date and the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professional to the Company while maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

Background

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to grant 3,000,000 options ( Employee Options ) to Mr Martin Bouwmeester (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires shareholder approval for an issue of equity securities if, over a 12 month period, the amount of the equity securities issued is more than 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the proposed grant of Employee Options to Mr Bouwmeester (or his nominee) so that this does not detract from the Company's ability to issue equity securities within the 15% limit in a 12 month period without shareholder approval.

Shareholder Approval (ASX Listing Rule 7.3)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Employee Options to Mr Bouwmeester (or his nominee):

Number of options Exercise price
1,000,000 $0.15
1,000,000 $0.25
1,000,000 $0.35

(e) the terms and conditions of the Employee Options proposed to be granted to Mr Bouwmeester are set out in Schedule 3.

Purpose of the proposed grant

The primary purpose of the proposed grant of Employee Options to Mr Bouwmeester is to enable the Company to provide, in Mr Bouwmeester’s capacity as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary an overall market competitive remuneration package of which an appropriate component is both incentive based and promotes retention whilst enabling the Company to retain cash reserves. The Board considered market remuneration levels, the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Bouwmeester as well as his potential future contribution towards the Company meeting its strategic goals and objectives when considering the grant of the Employee Options to him. The Board considers the grant of the Employee Options to Mr Bouwmeester to be reasonable having regard to the factors considered by the Board and the need to effectively retain and incentivise Mr Bouwmeester.
