EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the Company's office, Suite 1, 16 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia at 10.00am (WST) on Friday 30, November 2012.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting. For the assistance of Shareholders, a glossary of defined terms is included at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Full details of the business to be considered at this Annual General Meeting are set out below.

Annual financial statements and reports

The Corporations Act requires that the Annual Report (which includes the Annual Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report) be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Annual Report (or the Company generally) but there will be no formal resolution submitted to the Meeting in respect of it.

Mr Wayne Clark, as the auditor responsible for preparing the Auditor's Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 (or his representative) will attend the Meeting. The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask the auditor questions about:

  • a) the conduct of the audit;
  • b) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;
  • c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of financial statements; and
  • d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

To assist the Board and the auditor of the Company in responding to questions please submit any questions you may have by mail to the Company's office, PO Box 1255, West Perth WA 6872, or by fax to +61 8 6143 1818 so that it is received by no later than 5.00pm (WST) on Thursday 22 November 2012.

As required under section 250PA of the Corporations Act, at the Meeting the Company will distribute a list setting out the questions directed to the auditor received in writing from members, being questions which the auditor considers relevant to the content of the Auditor's Report or the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The Chairman will allow reasonable opportunity to respond to the questions set out on this list.

1. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012 is set out on pages 15 to 17 of the Company's 2012 Annual Report.

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to a vote at the Company's Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for reelection.

The Company encourages all eligible Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report).

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of either a member of the Key Management Personnel (being those persons whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report) or their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you do not provide a voting direction in respect of Resolution 1 on the proxy form, you will be deemed to have directed the Chairman of the meeting to vote in favour of this resolution.

Accordingly, if you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to abstain or vote against Resolution 1 you should direct the Chairman to abstain or vote against Resolution 1 by marking either "Against" or "Abstain" for this item of business on the proxy form.

The Board unanimously recommends that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Directors

It is a requirement under the Company's constitution that Mr Matthew Howison retires by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. Mr Howison, being eligible for re-election pursuant to the Company's constitution, offers himself for re-election.

Apart from Mr Howison (who abstains from voting given his interest in the Resolution 2), the remaining Directors recommend to Shareholders that Mr Howison be re-elected.

3. Special Resolution - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

Under Resolution 3, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to create an ability to issue up to an additional 10% of the issued share capital of the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (10% Placement). Resolution 3, is a special resolution and requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote. The only securities that the 10% Placement can cover are existing quoted securities, namely ordinary fully paid Shares.

Eligibility criteria

Under Listing Rule 7.1A which has recently been inserted into the Listing Rules, an eligible listed entity may, subject to shareholder approval by way of special resolution, issue Shares comprising up to 10% of its issued share capital in addition to the normal 15% new issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $8 million and is therefore an eligible entity.

Placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The 10% Placement is in addition to a listed entity's usual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

As at the date of finalisation of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has 316,838,681 Shares on issue and therefore, in addition to any other Shares which it can issue under the permitted exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, it has the capacity to issue:

  • 47,525,802 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 3, 31,683,868 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Minimum issue price

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, Shares issued by the Company under a 10% Placement can only be issued at a price that is not less than 75% of the VWAP (volume weighted average price) of the Shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in its Shares were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the issue price of the Shares is agreed; or
  • the issue date (if the Shares are not issued within five trading days of the date on which the issue price is agreed).

Placement period

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of this AGM until the earlier to occur of:

  • 12 months after the date of the AGM; and
  • the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX.

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A does not lapse if the Company's market capitalisation subsequently exceeds $300 million or if it is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index at some time during that period provided that the Company meets those criteria on the date of the AGM.

Dilution to existing shareholdings

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Shares under the 10% Placement, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders as a result. Further, as the market price of the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of AGM approval, and because the Shares may be issued at a price that

is at a discount to the market price on the issue date, there is a risk that the 10% Placement may raise less funding than it would based on current market prices.

As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table below shows a number of hypothetical scenarios for a 10% Placement where variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (representing the Company's share capital) has increased by either 50% or 100%, and the share price has decreased by 50% or increased by 100% from the approximate share price as at the date of finalisation of this Notice of Meeting.

Funds raised 792,097 1,584,193 3,168,387

The table has been prepared on the following hypothetical assumptions. The Company does not represent that they will necessarily occur:

  • a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement;
  • b) any increase in Variable A (being the issued share capital at the time of issue) is due to an issue of Shares which is an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, for example a pro-rata rights issue. However, a 15% placement under Listing Rule 7.1 does not increase variable "A" for the purposes of calculating the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A;
  • c) the table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;
  • d) the table does not show the dilution that may be caused to any particular Shareholder by reason of placements under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the AGM. For instance, Shareholders will have different outcomes depending on whether or not they participate in a pro-rata issue which has the effect of increasing variable "A"; and
  • e) the current Share price is assumed to be $0.0250, being the Share price on 19 October 2012 immediately prior to finalising this Notice of Meeting.

Purpose of the 10% Placement

The Company may seek to issue Shares under the 10% Placement for either:

  • a cash issue price, in this case the Company may use the funds for existing projects, new venture opportunities, working capital or for other corporate purposes; or
  • non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of new assets or investments, subject to any applicable ASX requirements.

In either case, the cash issue price or the value of the non-cash consideration must comply with the minimum issue price noted above.

Allocation policy

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 for the following factors:

  • the purpose of the issue;
  • 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;
  • the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
  • the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the company;
  • prevailing market conditions; and
  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting. At the date of finalisation of the notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholders to participate in the issue of the Shares. No existing Shareholder's vote will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Meeting.

Previous approval

The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Recommendation

As at the date of finalisation of these Explanatory Notes, the Company has no plans to raise additional capital. However, most eligible resource companies are seeking this form of newly available shareholder approval to enable a capital raising to be implemented if appropriate during the following year. Accordingly, shareholder approval of Resolution 3 is considered to be a prudent approach.

The Directors believe that Resolution 3 will provide the Company with flexibility to raise capital quickly if advantageous terms are available, and is in the best interests of the Company. The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
