A member who is entitled to vote at a meeting may appoint:

  • (a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; and

  • (b) one or two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.

Where more than one proxy is appointed each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes in which case any fraction of votes will be disregarded.

The proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation. The proxy may, but need not, be a member of the Company. A proxy form is attached to this Notice of Meeting.

Corporate Representatives

Any corporation which is a member of the Company may authorise (by certificate under common seal or other form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the chairperson of the meeting) a natural person to act as its representative at any general meeting.

Voting Entitlement

For the purposes of the Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations shareholders entered on the Company’s Register of Members as at 5 pm, on the day which is two days prior to the date of the meeting are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.

How the Chair Will Vote Undirected Proxies

The Chair of the meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, the proposed resolutions. However, any undirected proxies held by the Chair of the meeting will not be voted on Resolutions 3 unless the express consent of the shareholder is given in the proxy appointment.

Proxies that are Undirected on Resolution 3

If you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy (or if he may be appointed by default) and do not either (a) direct the Chair how to vote on Resolution 3; or (b) provide your express consent to the Chair voting your undirected proxy on Resolution 3; the Chair will not vote your proxy on that item of business. Accordingly, if you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy (or if he may be appointed by default) and you want your shares to be voted on Resolution 3, you should either (a) direct the Chair how to vote on Resolution 3 by marking either ‘for, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ on the proxy form in respect of the Resolution 3’; or (b) tick the box on the proxy form to confirm your consent to the Chair voting your undirected proxy on Resolution 3.

MINING PROJECTS GROUP LIMITED

ABN 84 006 189 331

Registered Office: Suite 2, 1233 High Street, Armadale, Victoria, 3143 Phone: +61 (0)3 9824 9166 Facsimile: +61 (0)3 9824 8161

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 (“ Notice of Meeting ”) to be held at Giorgios Restaurant Function Room, 1235 High Street, Armadale, Victoria, 3143 at 10.30am (Melbourne, Victoria time) on Tuesday, 20 August 2013. The Notice General Meeting incorporates, and should be read together with, this Memorandum.

RESOLUTION 1 - OVERVIEW

On 14 May 2013 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding terms sheet (” Terms Sheet ”) with Oroya Mining Limited [ACN 009 146 794] (ASX: ORO) (“ Oroya ”) which provides for the Company to move directly to 100% ownership of the tenements the subject of the Roe Hills (Talc Lake) Joint Venture and the Mt.Barrett Joint Venture (“ the Joint Venture Agreements ”).

Pursuant to the Terms Sheet Mining Projects Group has paid the sum of $200,000 to Oroya, in consideration of which:

  • the Company shall be deemed to have earned and be entitled to its 75% interest in the tenements the subject of the Roe Hills (Talc Lake) Joint Venture Agreement;

  • the Company shall be deemed to have earned and be entitled to its 80% interest in the tenement the subject of the Mt.Barrett Joint Venture Agreement;

  • the Company became entitled to the remainder of Oroya’s beneficial right, title and interest in the Roe Hills (Talc Lake) tenements and the Mt.Barrett tenement;

  • Oroya assigned and transferred all of its right, title and interest in all technical information relating to the Roe Hills and Mt.Barrett tenements to the Company; and

  • Oroya agreed to surrender all of its right, title and interest in 30,000,000 options issued to it in connection with the formation of the Joint Ventures.

As a consequence of the Company obtaining 100% of the right, title and interest in the tenements the subject of the Joint Venture Agreements, the Joint Venture Agreements have been terminated and, as a result, the Company is released from the funding obligations set out in the Joint Venture Agreements.

Under the Terms Sheet the Company has also made an unsecured, interest-free loan of $50,000 to Oroya which is repayable on the earlier of 14 September 2013 or the date on which Mining Projects Group completes the selective share buy-back the subject of the Notice of Meeting to which this Memorandum relates. Details of the terms of the proposed buy-back are set out in the proceeding sections of this Memorandum.

Page - 7 - of 14

==> picture [38 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL FOR SELECTIVE BUY-BACK

Mining Projects Group seeks approval pursuant to section 257D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ Corporations Act ”) to make a selective buy-back of 50,000,000 ordinary fully paid Mining Projects Group shares held by Oroya (“ Oroya Shares ”).

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has 600,166,840 ordinary fully paid shares on issue. Accordingly, the Oroya Shares represent 8.33% of the Company’s share capital as at the date of the Notice of Meeting.

The terms of the buy-back will provide for each Oroya Share to be bought-back by the Company for a purchase price of $0.001 (0.1 cents). The closing share price for the Company’s ordinary fully paid shares on the ASX on 18 July 2013 (being the date immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Meeting) was $0.005 (0.5 cents).

The total consideration payable by the Company to Oroya in connection with the buy-back of the Oroya Shares will be $50,000 which will be paid by off-set against the $50,000 loan made to Oroya under the Terms Sheet. In the opinion of the Directors of the Company, the total consideration payable by the Company to Oroya under the buy-back will not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The Company intends to enter into a Buy-Back Deed with Oroya on the terms set out above, which agreement will be conditional upon Resolution 1 of the Notice of Meeting being passed. It is intended that the terms of the Buy-Back Deed will allow either party to terminate if the Company does not obtain the shareholder and regulatory approvals necessary for the buy-back by the end date of 14 September 2013. However, if the Company has lodged a notice of meeting convening a meeting seeking the shareholder approval required for the buy-back, the 14 September 2013 end date will, if necessary, be extended to the day after the date of that meeting.

A total of 46 million of the Oroya Shares were issued on 25 March 2013 in connection with the formation of the Joint Venture Agreements. The issue of the balance of the Oroya Shares was deferred pending Oroya obtaining approval for an expenditure exemption in respect of the Mt.Barrett tenement. This exemption was obtained and the remaining 4 million Oroya Shares were issued on 24 May 2013, giving Oroya a total holding of 50 million ordinary Mining Projects Group shares all of which are proposed to be bought-back.

As noted above, as a consequence of the Company’s acquisition of 100% of the right, title and interest in the Mt.Barrett and Roe Hills (Talc Lake) tenements, the Joint Venture Agreements have been terminated. Having regard to the early termination of the Joint Venture Agreements, and considering that Oroya will no longer be involved in Roe Hills (Talc Lake) or Mt.Barrett projects, the Company considered it appropriate to negotiate for the cancelation of the Oroya Shares. A share buy-back was considered by the Company to be the most suitable way to achieve this.

If Resolution 1 is approved, the Oroya Shares will be cancelled in accordance with section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act immediately after registration of their transfer to the Company. Following cancellation, the Company will have 550,166,840 ordinary fully paid shares on issue (assuming no further shares are issued, or options exercised, between the date of this Memorandum and completion of the buy-back). The buy-back and cancellation of the Oroya Shares is subject to shareholder approval being obtained. The financial effect of the buy-back will be to reduce the assets of the Company by the $50,000 purchase price (which is to be paid by off-set against the Oroya loan described above).

Page - 8 - of 14

==> picture [38 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

As a consequence of the buy-back each ordinary shareholders’ percentage interest in the issued capital of the Company will increase. The details of the effect of the buy-back on the interests of the Company’s substantial shareholders are set out in the table below.

Shareholder Ordinary MPJ Shares Held Current % Shareholding % Shareholding following
completion of buy-back
Melbourne Capital Limited 34,000,000 5.67% 6.18%
Redcliffe Coal Project Pty Ltd 110,000,000 18.33% 19.99%
Queensland M M Pty Ltd 52,925,302 8.82% 9.62%

The main advantages of the buy-back of the Oroya Shares are:

  • The purchase price of the Oroya Shares under the buy-back represents a significant discount to the current market price of the Company’s shares.

  • The cancellation of the Oroya Shares will result in a smaller number of ordinary fully paid shares on issue than would otherwise be the case in the absence of the buy-back and an increase in the percentage shareholding of each other shareholder in the Company. Given that the purchase price represents a discount to the current market price, the economic interest of each other shareholder (calculated on a per share basis) will be marginally enhanced.

  • The buy-back has the effect of cancelling the shares issued to Oroya in connection with the formation of the Joint Venture Agreements and as a result removes Oroya’s indirect interest in the Mt.Barrett and Roe Hill (Talc Lake) projects. The Board considered this to be appropriate given the Company’s acquisition of 100% of those tenements and the early termination of the Joint Venture Agreements and considered a selective buy-back to be an effective way to achieve this outcome.

  • The buy-back avoids the potential for the Oroya Shares being offered by Oroya for sale onmarket, with the likelihood of depressing the share price, given the recent low trading volumes of Mining Projects Group shares.

A potential disadvantage of the buy-back is that, upon completion, the Company will have reduced its assets by payment of the purchase price of $50,000 (to be paid by off-set against the unsecured loan advanced to Oroya under the terms of the Terms Sheet). However, as noted above, the purchase price payable to Oroya represents a discount to the current market price of the Company’s shares and the Directors of the Company do not believe that the buy-back will materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The Directors consider that the advantages of the proposed buy-back outweigh the disadvantages and the Board recommends that you vote in favour of the resolution to approve the share buy-back. Mr Joshua Wellisch, Chairman of the Company, is also a Director of Oroya. Mr Wellisch has excluded himself from all Board discussions (and has not voted on any Board resolution) relating to the Terms Sheet or the proposed share buy-back and therefore makes no recommendation regarding the buy-back.

Other than as described above, no Director has an interest in the proposed buy-back other than as a shareholder in common with all other shareholders.

The 2012 Annual Report of the Company, including the audited accounts of the Company for financial year ending 30 June 2012 has been sent to shareholders. The Half Year Financial Report of the Company for the period ending 31 December 2012 is available to shareholders. Copies of these documents and other information regarding the Company may be found on the Company’s

Page - 9 - of 14

==> picture [38 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

website (www.miningprojectsgroup.com.au) or the website of the ASX (www.asx.com.au). Copies of the latest set of audited accounts will be sent to any shareholder upon request.

Resolution 1 is a special resolution, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote must be in favour of the resolution for it to be passed.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 which prevents votes being cast by Oroya or any of its associates.

RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Resolution 2 is proposed to seek shareholder approval for the issue of up to 10,000,000 options to professional and sophisticated investors or investors who are otherwise exempt from the disclosure requirements of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.

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 2 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of options for the purposes of ASX 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:

  • The maximum number of securities the entity is to issue:

  • 10,000,000 options to acquire ordinary shares, issued at an issue price of $0.001 (0.1 cent) each, each option exercisable at 1 cent ($0.01) and expiring on 30 June 2016.

  • The date on which the entity will issue the securities:

The Company will issue the options within three months of the date of the meeting to which this Memorandum relates.

  • The issue price of the securities:

Each option will be issued at an issue price of $0.001 (0.1 cent).

  • The names of the allottee/s (if known) or the basis upon which the allottee will be identified.

  • The options will be issued to professional, sophisticated or otherwise exempt investors, being clients of 708 Group Pty Ltd [ACN 150 500 968] (an authorised representative of Australian United Corporation Pty Ltd [AFSL 257992]), who are invited by the Company to subscribe for options.

  • The terms of the securities:

Each option will be exercisable at 1 cent ($0.01), expire on 30 June 2016 and otherwise be issued on the terms set out in Annexure A.

  • The intended use of the funds raised:

Funds raised through the issue of the options (being a maximum of $10,000) will be applied as working capital.

  • A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTOR – MR JOSHUA WELLISCH

Resolution 3 is proposed to seek shareholder approval for the issue of 60,000,000 options to Mr Joshua Wellisch, a Director of the Company (or his nominee/s). The options will be issued in three tranches as follows:

  • 20,000,000 options having an exercise price of $0.01 (1 cent) each and an expiry date which is 4 years from the date of their issue;

  • 20,000,000 options having an exercise price of $0.02 (2 cents) each and an expiry date which is 4 years from the date of their issue; and

  • 20,000,000 options having an exercise price of $0.025 (2.5 cents) each and an expiry date which is 4 years from the date of their issue.

Mr Wellisch was appointed as a Director of the Company on 28 March 2013. Neither Mr Wellisch, nor any associate of Mr Wellisch, currently has any interest in any of the Company’s securities.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of equity securities (e.g. shares or options) to a related party of the company. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, a related party includes a Director of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if approval is being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, as shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, a further approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.11 must include the following information:

  • The name of the person receiving the securities:

Mr Joshua Wellisch (or his nominee/s) will receive the options the subject of Resolution 3.

  • The maximum number of securities to be issued or the formula for calculation of the number of securities to be issued:

  • 60,000,000 options, issued in three tranches having the terms described above.

  • The date on which the entity will issue the securities:

The Company will issue the 60,000,000 options within one month of the date of the meeting to which this Memorandum relates.

  • A statement of the relationship between the person and the Company:

Mr Wellisch is a Director of the Company and therefore a related party for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

  • The issue price of the securities and a statement of the terms of the issue:

The terms of the options to be issued to Mr Wellisch are described above and set out in detail in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum. The issue price for the options is nil.

  • The intended use of the funds raised.

Page - 11 - of 14

==> picture [38 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

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

  • A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions to the section applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company as remuneration and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • the circumstances of the company; and

  • the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Company considers the proposed issue of the options the subject of Resolution 3 is reasonable remuneration and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the Company has considered the position and responsibilities of Mr Wellisch, the Company’s reliance on a limited number of executive personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise Mr Wellisch while aligning the incentive with seeking to increase shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company and the terms of the options (including the varied exercise prices).
