DATED: 18th OCTOBER 2011

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 3pm (WST) on Friday, 25th November 2011, at Boulevard Centre, 99 The Boulevard, Floreat WA 6014.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

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 2011 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. Shareholders may view the annual financial report on the Company's website at www.chrysalisresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2012 annual general meeting, 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).

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 Company's 2012 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 Directors' report 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.

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 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member 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 whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member 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.

2.3 Definitions

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

  • (a) a spouse or child of the member;
  • (b) a child of the member's spouse;
  • (c) a dependent of the member or the member's spouse;
  • (d) anyone else who is one of the member's family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member's dealing with the entity;
  • (e) a company the member controls; or
  • (f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth).

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director's report section of the Company's annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – ADRIAN PAUL

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution provides that at the annual general meeting of the Company in each year one-third of the Directors, or, if their number is not evenly divisible by three, then the number nearest one-third, and any other Director who is not in such one-third who has held office for three years or more (except a managing director), must retire from office. The Company currently has three Directors and accordingly one must retire.

Clause 11.4 of the Constitution provides that a retiring Director is eligible 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. In accordance with the Constitution, Adrian Paul retires by rotation and seeks re-election as a Non Executive Director pursuant to Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES

4.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 5,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share, to acquire Zambian Copper Pty Ltd (Placement).

As previously announced to the ASX, the Company has signed a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Zambian Copper Pty Ltd, which owns projects in the Zambian Copperbelt (Zambian Copper Project). The Zambian Copper Project covers an area in excess of 3,000km2 of which 2,180km2 is in the core of the highly mineralised Copperbelt of Zambia.

Whilst the Company had completed a successful due diligence program on the Zambian Copper Project, it has been denied Zambian Ministerial approval for the transfer of the Shares from Sedgwick Resources to Zambian Copper. The Company is awaiting the hearing of an appeal of the Minister's decision filed in the Zambian High Court. The appeal date has been adjourned to 11 October 2011.

Under the Heads of Agreement, the Company is to make the Placement should the necessary ministerial approval be obtained and final due diligence signed off.

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 of 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.

As the number of shares that the Company may wish to issue if it proceeds with the proposed acquisition of Zambian Copper may exceed the 15% limit, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 5,000,000 shares in conjunction with the proposed Zambian Copper Acquisition. The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the shares pursuant to the Future Share issue during the period of 3 months after the Annual General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by the ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity. The Company will only issue shares in accordance with the resolution if the Company proceeds with the acquisition of Zambian Copper.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

  • Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:
  • (a) the maximum number of shares to be issued is 5,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares;
  • (b) the shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.20 per share;
  • (c) the shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting or such later date as may be permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules;
  • (d) the shares, when issued, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, will be issued on the same terms and conditions as, and rank equally with the existing Shares;
  • (e) all shares the subject of this resolution will be allotted within 7 business days after the satisfaction of the last of the Conditions Precedent as set out in the original Heads of Agreement.
  • (f) the shares will be allotted to the shareholders of Zambian Copper.
  • (g) the shares will be issued as consideration for the acquisition of Zambian Copper. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the Placement.
