4. RESOLUTION 3 – Issue of Securities as Purchase Consideration

General

On 31 May 2006, the Company announced that it had been granted an option to acquire 100% of the share capital of a Ghanaian company, Stratsys Investments Limited, with rights to two mining leases and a prospecting licence at Ayanfuri (the "Ayanfuri Mine Licences") and the Nsuaem reconnaissance licence and the Dunkwa reconnaissance licence application (together the "Reconnaissance Licences"), covering a total project area of just over 500 sq km and located 25-65 kms south west of Obuasi on the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana. The Company's Grumesa project adjoins the optioned project area to the east. At this stage, the option has an expiry date of 4 April 2007.

At the time of preparing this Notice, the directors have not formally resolved to exercise the option to acquire shares in Stratsys Investments Limited ("Stratsys Shares"). However, the majority of due diligence work has been completed and the directors expect to make their final decision before the end of January 2007. At this stage, subject to finalisation of the due diligence, the directors' view is that the option to acquire Stratsys Shares should be exercised. The majority of consideration payable upon exercise of the option for the purchase of Stratsys Shares is the issue of securities in the Company as follows:

  • on the exercise of the option, 2,500,000 ordinary fully paid shares and 2,500,000 unlisted options to acquire Perseus shares, exercisable at 40 cents each on or before 28 February 2009 ("Initial Purchase Consideration"); and
  • on the announcement of mining reserves on the Stratsys projects of at least 500,000 ounces of gold, a further 2,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares and 2,000,000 unlisted options to acquire Perseus shares, exercisable at 60 cents each with a 2 year life ("Further Purchase Consideration").

Resolution 3 seeks approval by shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the Initial Purchase Consideration and the Further Purchase Consideration.

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 information is provided as follows:

  • 2,500,000 ordinary fully paid shares and 2,500,000 options will be issued under the Initial $(i)$ Purchase Consideration (subject to exercise of the Stratsys option) and 2,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares and 2,000,000 options will be issued under the Further Purchase Consideration (subject to 500,000 ounces of gold in the mining reserve category being announced on the Stratsys projects).
  • $(ii)$ The issue of securities is not for cash and no funds will be raised. The deemed issue price of the securities will be based on the market price of the Company's shares (as quoted on ASX) at the time of allotment of the securities.
  • $(iii)$ The shares will rank equally with the existing ordinary shares and will be subject to quotation on the ASX. The terms and conditions of the options are set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
  • $(iv)$ The allottee of the Initial Purchase Consideration and the Final Purchase Consideration will be Strategic Systems Pty Ltd, the present owner of the Stratsys Shares or its nominee.
  • The purpose of the securities issue under the Initial Purchase Consideration and the Final $(v)$ Purchase Consideration is payment for the purchase of Stratsys Shares.
  • $(vi)$ The securities comprising the Initial Purchase Consideration will be issued upon exercise of the option to acquire the Stratsys Shares and no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting.

The securities comprising the Further Purchase Consideration will be issued within 14 days of the Company making an announcement that the Stratsys projects have a mining reserve of at least 500,000 ounces of gold. At this stage, the Company is not able to provide a precise date when this may happen, if at all. ASX Listing Rules require issues of securities to be completed within 3 months after the date of a meeting of shareholders at which approval is granted for the issue. This date may be extended by ASX in its discretion if the criteria for the future issue of securities are performance based, capable of being independently verified – for example, the calculation of a mining reserve $-$ as is the case here.

Following the issue of this Notice of Meeting, the Company will apply to ASX seeking a waiver $/$ modification of the 3 month rule. If a waiver is not granted and the Company is required in the future to issue the securities comprising the Further Purchase Consideration, it would have do so out of its 15% annual limit or seek further shareholder approval at that stage.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – Issue of Shares as Purchase Consideration

General

On 4 December 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase heap leach plant and equipment for the Grumesa Gold Project in Ghana.

The plant and equipment, mostly located in Ghana, is being purchased from Caspian Oil & Gas Ltd for a purchase price comprising 1,400,000 ordinary fully paid shares ("Plant Purchase Consideration") and a cash payment of US$25,000. Perseus will also assume responsibility for Caspian's security staff and their employee entitlements up to a limit of US$5,000.

Resolution 4 seeks approval by shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the Plant Purchase Consideration.

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 information is provided as follows:

  • 1,400,000 ordinary fully paid shares will be issued under the Plant Purchase Consideration. $(i)$
  • $(ii)$ The issue of shares is not for cash and no funds will be raised. The issue price of the shares is $0.40 each, being the market price of the Company's shares on ASX at the time the Company entered into the purchase agreement with Caspian Oil & Gas Ltd.
