Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Directors recommend that shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to a resolution.

RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is in the Directors Report section of the Company’s Annual Report.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • a) explains the Company’s remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its directors and executive officers;

  • b) addresses the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and

  • c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Company’s executives and group executives named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

Sections 249L(2) and 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that companies put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, however, and does not bind the Board or the Company. The Chairman will give shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Section 250R(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 the 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 that appoints 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 2011, the shareholders of a company have the ability to spill a company’s board of directors if 25% or more of votes cast are against the resolution to approve the remuneration report at two successive Annual General Meetings of the Company. While this cannot result in any Board spill at the 2011 Annual General Meeting, a spill of the Board could potentially happen at the 2012 Annual General Meeting if there are more than 25% of votes from shareholders that vote ‘no’ to the remuneration report resolution in 2011 and 2012. If you require more information about this new law, please contact the Company Secretary.

RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DAVID ZOHAR AS DIRECTOR

A summary of Mr Zohar’s qualifications and experience is provided below.

Mr David Alan Zohar – BSc, DipEd

Mr Zohar has undertaken undergraduate studies in Geology and Post Graduate studies in Accountancy and Commercial Law. He has been active in the mining exploration industry for over 20 years. He has been a director and/or CEO of a number of exploration companies and has also negotiated numerous agreements with various companies and other participants within the mining industry. He has been involved in the formation and/or listing on the ASX of several public companies such as Iron Mountain Mining Limited, United Orogen Limited, Actinogen Limited and Red River Resources Limited.

The Board believes that Mr Zohar has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally and in the best interests of all shareholders.

The Board, other than Mr Zohar, unanimously recommends the re-election of Mr Zohar.
