EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

PURPOSE OF INFORMATION

This Explanatory Memorandum ("this Memorandum") accompanies and forms part of the Company's Notice of General Meeting to be held at The CFO Solution, Suite 1, 1233 High Street, Armadale, Victoria, 3143 at 10.00am (Melbourne, Victoria time) on Friday, 18 May 2012. The Notice General Meeting incorporates, and should be read together with, this Memorandum.

RESOLUTIONS 1-4 - OVERVIEW

The Company has entered into a binding Sale of Shares Agreement with Delcarmen Energy Limited [ACN 150 643 708] ("Delcarmen") and the shareholders and directors of Delcarmen pursuant to which, subject to the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals, Mining Projects Group agrees to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Delcarmen from the shareholders of Delcarmen, as a means to acquiring Delcarmen's 100% interest in two Exploration Permit for Coal ("EPC") applications.

In the event that the Sale of Shares Agreement does not complete, the Company has the right (but not obligation) to negotiate with Delcarmen to acquire the EPC applications directly on terms consistent with those set out in the Heads of Agreement entered into between the Company and Delcarmen on 7 February 2012 with such amendments as necessary to reflect the change in nature of the acquisition from a sale of shares to a sale of assets.

The two tenement applications held by Delcarmen comprise EPC application 2527 and EPC application 2528 located to the north and east of Kingaroy, approximately 170kms west of Brisbane which cover a combined area of approximately 1,030km2 ("the Tenement Applications"). The area the subject of the Tenement Applications is shown on the map attached to this Memorandum as Annexure One.

As noted in the Company's ASX Announcement on 7 February 2012, an initial study of the geological prospectiveness of the area the subject of the Tenement Applications provided to the Company suggests that the area demonstrates potential for high energy thermal coal as well as semi-soft coking coal, however any potential quality and grade is at this stage theoretical in nature and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a coal resource. Mining Projects Group's first steps post-acquisition will be to engage an independent consultant to develop a conceptual target and initial drill program for the Company.

Prior to execution of the Sale of Shares Agreement, the Company carried out due diligence investigations into Delcarmen and the Tenement Applications. These enquiries have identified that various areas within the Tenement Applications are subject to certain protective overlays and zoning classifications, including areas containing sites of indigenous cultural heritage significance, urban development restriction zones, land deemed constrained by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and land located within potential strategic cropping zones.

In some instances the protective overlays and zoning classifications may restrict mining and exploration activities completely, more commonly however they will affect the procedure required for access to the affected area and impose obligations in respect of compensation, land rehabilitation and/or land impact management. This may, for example, necessitate the completion of impact assessment studies and/or require the negotiation of access or compensation arrangements with landowners and indigenous groups. These protective overlays and zoning classifications are typical of surrounding tenements within south-east Queensland and their existence within the area the subject of the Tenement Applications was not unexpected.

In addition, the Company's due diligence has indentified that the rail infrastructure within the area the subject of the Tenement Applications is currently disused and would need to be upgraded in order to be suitable for coal haulage. However, there are potential rail infrastructure alternatives which the Company will investigate in due course.

Having reviewed the results of its due diligence enquiries, and considering these results in the context of the anticipated primary exploration targets within the area the subject of the Tenement Applications, the Company remains optimistic about the potential of the tenements to be granted upon approval of the Tenement Applications to provide a solid platform to develop a prospective coal portfolio and has therefore elected to proceed with the acquisition of Delcarmen.

The aggregate consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of Delcarmen is $1 million, which is payable to the shareholders of Delcarmen on a pro-rata basis in proportions which reflect their respective shareholdings in Delcarmen. The consideration is payable in a combination of cash and equity as follows:

  • 5 a non-refundable deposit of $20,000 (which was paid on execution of the Heads of Agreement between Delcarmen and the Company);
  • 5 $80,000 to be paid on completion of the acquisition of Delcarmen;
  • 5 12,500,000 ordinary shares to be issued upon the grant of EPC 2527, subject to the grant of EPC 2527 occurring within 12 months of completion of the acquisition of Delcarmen;
  • 5 a further 12,500,000 ordinary shares to be issued upon the grant of EPC 2528, subject to the grant of EPC 2528 occurring within 12 months of completion of the acquisition of Delcarmen;
  • 5 $200,000 to be paid on the later of completion of the acquisition of Delcarmen or the grant of EPC 2527; and
  • 5 $200,000 to be paid on the later of completion of the acquisition of Delcarmen or the grant of EPC 2528.

The payments referred to in the final two bullet points above and the issue of ordinary shares to the vendors are conditional upon the grant of the Tenement Applications.

In addition to the above, the Company has agreed to make a milestone payment of $250,000 to the vendors, satisfied through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares, upon and subject to the Company making an announcement to ASX confirming the establishment of a JORC resource exceeding 100 million tonnes of coal within the area the subject of the Tenement Applications. The shares issued to satisfy this milestone payment will be issued at an issue price per share equal to the volume weighted average trading (closing) price of the Company's ordinary shares on ASX for the 30 trading days prior to the date of the announcement of the JORC resource.

The Company has also agreed to fund payment of the first year's rental and financial assurances payable in respect of the Tenement Applications anticipated to total $47,500.

The Company intends to conduct a capital raising through a placement to professional and sophisticated investors of up 40,000,000 ordinary shares (MPJ) at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise up to $800,000 (the "Capital Raising"). Each new share issued under the Capital Raising will be issued with an attaching option exercisable at $0.02 and expiring on 28 February 2013 (MPJO) ("New Option"). Each New Option will entitle the holder, upon exercise, to one ordinary share and one further option ("Piggy-Back Option") exercisable at $0.03 and expiring on 28 February 2014.

RESOLUTION 5 – OVERVIEW

As announced to the ASX on 29 February 2012, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire coal exploration permit EPC 1992 from New Coal Energy Pty Ltd. EPC 1992 sits adjacent to Coalbank Limited's Central Project which is targeting Walloon coal measures in the Western Surat Basin. The agreement for the acquisition is conditional upon EPC 1992 being granted.

The Company was attracted to this transaction due to the exploration success of Coalbank Limited (ASX:CBQ), the price of the acquisition, the size of the permit (300 sub-blocks) and the fact that this permit has been approved for granting subject to satisfaction of standard conditions imposed by the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation ("DEEDI"). As such the Board believes this transaction provides strong leverage between its price and potential exploration upside of the lease.

The consideration for the acquisition of EPC 1992 will be:

  • $40,615 payable in rent to DEEDI; and
  • $25,000 payable to New Coal Energy Pty Ltd on EPC 1992 being granted and upon transfer of EPC 1992 to the Company.

The Company has commissioned its own independent geological report on EPC 1992 from which it will design its first drilling program.

In connection with the acquisition of EPC 1992 the Company has agreed to issue Subiaco Capital Pty Ltd ("Subiaco Capital") 2,500,000 ordinary fully paid shares (MPJ) in recognition of Subiaco Capital's role in introducing the opportunity to the Company. The issue of these shares is to take place upon, and subject to, completion of the acquisition.

If completion of the acquisition of EPC 1992 occurs, it will occur either before or after the General Meeting.

If completion of the acquisition of EPC 1992 occurs prior to the date of the General Meeting the Company will issue 2,500,000 ordinary shares to Subiaco Capital under its 15% capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and seek shareholder approval through Resolution 5B to ratify the issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. In this case the Company will withdraw Resolution 5A of the Notice of Meeting.

If completion of the acquisition of EPC 1992 does not occur prior to the date of the General Meeting the Company will seek shareholder approval through Resolution 5A for the issue of 2,500,000 ordinary shares to Subiaco Capital under Listing Rule 7.1. In this case the Company will withdraw Resolution 5B of the Notice of Meeting.

Accordingly, Resolution 5A and 5B are alternative resolutions. One of either Resolution 5A or Resolution 5B will be withdrawn by the Company at the General Meeting and the maximum

number of ordinary shares which may be issued to Subiaco Capital under Resolution 5 is 2,500,000. Members should direct their proxies in respect of both Resolutions 5A and 5B.

The Company will make an ASX announcement if the acquisition of EPC 1992 is completed prior to the General Meeting. Shareholders will be advised of the withdrawal of either Resolution 5A or Resolution 5B at the commencement of the General Meeting.

RESOLUTION 5A: ISSUE OF SHARES TO SUBIACO CAPITAL PTY LTD

Resolution 5A seeks shareholder approval for the issue of 2,500,000 ordinary shares (MPJ) to Subiaco Capital. Resolution 5A will be withdrawn if the acquisition of EPC 1992 is completed prior to the General Meeting.

Each of the shares to be issued to Subiaco Capital will be an ordinary share and will rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (e.g. shares or options) which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities in a rolling 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders. Furthermore, equity securities issued with the approval of holders of a company's ordinary securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 are not then required to be included in the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5A seeks approval for the issue of 2,500,000 shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must include the following information:

(a) The maximum number of securities the entity is to issue:

2,500,000 ordinary fully paid shares (MPJ).

(b) The date on which the entity will issue the securities:

The shares will be issued upon completion of the acquisition of EPC 1992 from New Coal Energy Pty Ltd and within 3 months of shareholder approval.

(c) The issue price of the securities:

The ordinary shares will be issued to Subiaco Capital for nil consideration at a deemed issue price of 2 cents ($0.02) per share in connection with its role in introducing the opportunity to acquire EPC 1992 to the Company.

(d) The names of the allotee/s:

Subiaco Capital Pty Ltd [ACN 129 705 308].

(e) The terms of the securities:

The shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

(f) The intended use of the funds raised:

No funds will be raised through the issue of the shares.

RESOLUTION 5B: APPROVAL FOR PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO SUBIACO CAPITAL PTY LTD

Resolution 5B seeks shareholder approval for the ratification of a prior issue of 2,500,000 ordinary

shares (MPJ) to Subiaco Capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4. Resolution 5B will be withdrawn if the acquisition of EPC 1992 is not completed prior to the General Meeting.

The shares issued to Subiaco Capital were ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

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 to 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 provides that where a company's shareholders ratify a prior issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5B seeks shareholder approval for the prior issue of 2,500,000 ordinary shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4. By ratifying the prior issue of 2,500,000 shares to Subiaco Capital, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The number of securities allotted: 2,500,000 ordinary fully paid shares (MPJ).
  • (b) The price at which the securities were issued. The ordinary shares were issued to Subiaco Capital for nil consideration at a deemed issue price of 2 cents ($0.02) per share in connection with its role in introducing the opportunity to acquire EPC 1992 to the Company.
  • (c) The terms of the securities:

The securities are ordinary shares.
