The Chairman will be casting undirected proxy votes held by him in favour of this Resolution. The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all Shareholders that they vote in favour of this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 11: SHARE ISSUE FOR TRANSFER OF RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE, AND FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE ACQUISITION OF, THE FIALE PROJECT IN DJIBOUTI

Consideration for entering into the HOA was the issue of 10,037,500 fully paid ordinary shares at no cost to the recipients as detailed in Table 3. below. The shares were issued on October 22, 2010 and all except 912,500 are escrowed for up to 24 months as specified in Table 3.

Subsequently, on October 22, 2010 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop a major geothermal resource in Djibouti. The MOU is with the Djibouti Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and Electricitie' de Djibouti.

The funds raised from the placements have been and will be used to fund the Company’s Working Capital needs to assist in particular, continuing negotiations in respect to the various African opportunities previously mentioned.

The purpose of the ESOS is to attract, retain and motivate officers and employees of the Company and consultants engaged to provide ongoing management or consulting services for the Company or any subsidiary thereof by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 essentially provides that a company may not issue securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital, over any 12 month period, without the approval of its members. Approval is being sought by the Company for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) so that any issues of securities under the ESOS are not counted as a reduction for the purpose of the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval. This exception is only available provided that within 3 years before the date of the issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the ESOS as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Under the ESOS, full or part time continuing employees and consultants (or their nominees) are included in the definition of “Eligible Employee”. Directors are not included in the definition of "Eligible Employee" as it is not proposed to issue securities under the ESOS to Directors or their associates as such issues will require the approval of the Members pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Details of any securities issued under the ESOS will be published in each Annual Report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued.

The Chairman will be casting undirected proxy votes held by him in favour of this Resolution. The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all Shareholders that they vote in favour of this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 14: APPROVAL OF FUTURE SHARE PLACEMENT

On December 6, 2010 the Company release a Corporate Update in respect to recent and historic activities and the conclusions reached for future directions.

The Board has concluded that future success of the Company could be best accommodated by embracing opportunities within the “New Energy" sector, including green power such as geothermal power. This is particularly so in emerging economies where they do not have to compete with existing and established infrastructure and pre-existing market share.

The ASX does not have a large following in the New Energy Sector. For this reason the Company has been considering a secondary listing, such as on the TSX, where there is a greater depth of investors more aligned with our future activities. As yet however, the Board has not made any final decision on this.

The Company now has the potential to establish 180 MW of power via relatively advanced development projects. In light of these developments the Company has been discussing with potential cornerstone investors various financing models. A number of Confidentiality Agreements have been signed with various parties both in Europe and North America, however, at this stage the Company has not yet proceeded with any specific third party financing arrangements.

Earth Heat has been actively engaging with various financing groups to assist in progressing key projects in Djibouti and Argentina. Review of the geothermal sector clearly shows that financing, on the scale of developments contemplated by the Company is not readily available in Australia at this time. In contrast investor appetite for this particular style of investment is much stronger particularly in North America and Europe, as evidenced by recent capital raisings by Magma Energy and Ram Power on the TSX. Therefore, EHR is considering all finance options which include the potential dual listing or transfer of the Company on or to an exchange that recognises the value in New Energy investments.

Potential cornerstone investors have approached the Company and these include both finance organisations in addition to other groups such as engineering firms. At the present time the Company is in confidential discussions with a number of groups, which may or may not yield any material agreement on assisting in moving projects forward.

The Managing Director, Torey Marshall observed in the Corporate Update that:

"Our high quality projects yield a number of options for the future financing of the Company, however the level of interest for financing geothermal power projects is much higher outside Australia. The calibre of the projects which the Company has now enables it consider a variety of JV and finance options of up to $70m, for the delivery of key project milestones such as a bankable feasibility study".

Aggressive and rapid expansion of the Company's activities, particularly in respect to major overseas jurisdictions as planned by the Board, will require significant financial investment. Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to pre-approve a placement of up to 136,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of no less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of the securities in this class calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities are recorded before the day on which the issue is made, or if there is a Prospectus, Offer Information Statement or Product Disclosure Statement relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date on which the Prospectus, Offer Information Statement or Product Disclosure Statement is signed, on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Statement.

At the date of this Management Information Circular the closing price of the Company's shares was 5.0 cents ($0.05) each. If the share price remains unchanged during the period to when the placement is made and the Board determines to place the full 136,000,000 shares, the Company will raise approximately $5,440,000. Depending on movements in the share price during the period and the actual share placement price, the Company may potentially raise more or less than the stated amount. If the share price has increased during the period and depending on the circumstances at the time, the Board may determine to place a lesser number of shares than the stated number.

However, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company is substantially undervalued at present and it is their intention to attempt a placement at a premium to market rather than a discount. Unfortunately, given the state of the financial markets at present, it may not be possible to achieve a premium hence the conservative nature of the proposed resolution.

If the full number of 136,000,000 shares are issued to a single Holder that Holder will control 19.99% of the then issued capital of the Company and become the cornerstone investor.

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that a company may not issue or agree to issue securities which represent more than 15% of the company's issued capital at the beginning of any 12 month period without obtaining Member approval. The Company's propose issue of the Placement Shares requires Member approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and none of the exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2 apply.

Listing Rule 7.3

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Placement Shares:

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

  • The maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued is 136,000,000.

b) The date by which the entity will issue the securities

The Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

c) The issue price of the Placement Shares

  • The issue price will be no less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of the securities in this class calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities are recorded before the day on which the issue is made, or if there is a Prospectus, Offer Information Statement or Product Disclosure Statement relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date on which the Prospectus, Offer Information Statement or Product Disclosure Statement is signed, on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Memorandum.

d) The names of the allottees

The names of the allottees are currently not known but will be a party or parties nominated by the Company or by an entity appointed by the Company for that purpose, and will not be related parties.

e) The terms of the securities

The Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares.

g) The dates of allotment

The dates of allotment are unknown. Allotment may occur progressively and no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR (‘‘MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR’’) IS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION BY MANAGEMENT OF EARTH HEAT RESOURCES LTD. (THE ‘‘COMPANY’’) of proxies from the holders of common shares (the ‘‘ Common Shares ’’) for the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the ‘‘Meeting’’) to be held on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at the time and place for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting.

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other proxy solicitation services. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares (as defined below) held of record by such persons and the Company may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named (the ‘‘ Management Designees ’’) in the enclosed instrument of proxy (‘‘ Instrument of Proxy ’’) have been selected by the directors of the Company and have indicated their willingness to represent as proxy the shareholder who appoints them. A shareholder has the right to designate a person (who need not be a shareholder) other than the Management Designees to represent him or her at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the space provided for that purpose on the Instrument of Proxy the name of the person to be designated and by deleting there from the names of the Management Designees, or by completing another proper form of proxy and delivering the same to the transfer agent of the Company. Such shareholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy and should provide instructions on how the shareholder’s shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification with him to the Meeting. In any case, the form of proxy should be dated and executed by the shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form). In addition, a proxy may be revoked by a shareholder personally attending at the Meeting and voting his shares.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is completed and delivered to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada at 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, at least forty-eight (72) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion, and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his authorized attorney in writing, or, where the shareholder is a Company, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, either at the registered office of the Company at 711 -- 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1N2 or with Computershare Trust Company of Canada at 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, at

any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or by depositing the instrument in writing with the Chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his shares.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders, as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name .

Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Management Information Circular as ‘‘ Beneficial Shareholders ’’) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders who appear on the records maintained by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent as registered holders of Common Shares will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, those Common Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the shareholder’s name. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for the Canadian Depositary for Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker’s client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting .

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided directly to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications (‘‘ ADP ’’) in Canada. ADP typically prepares a machine readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to ADP, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to ADP (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders who receive an ADP voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to ADP (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must otherwise be communicated to ADP) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or the intermediary for assistance .

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity.

Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker . All references to shareholders in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to registered shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING OF PROXIES

Each shareholder may instruct his proxy how to vote his Common Shares by completing the blanks on the Instrument of Proxy. All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted or withheld from voting (including the voting on any ballot), and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Instrument of Proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specification.

In the absence of any such specification as to voting on the Instrument of Proxy, the Management Designees, if named as proxy, will vote in favour of the matters set out therein. In the absence of any specification as to voting on any other form of proxy, the Common Shares represented by such form of proxy will be voted in favour of the matters set out therein .

The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Management Designees, or other persons named as proxy, with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any amendments to, variations of or other matters which may come before the Meeting. In the event that other matters come before the Meeting, then the Management Designees intend to vote in accordance with the judgment of management of the Company.

CDI HOLDERS

Many shareholders having an interest in the Common Shares hold such interests in the form of CHESS Depositary Instruments (‘‘CDIs’’). CHESS is the electronic settlement system used in Australia. The main difference between holding CDIs and holding Common Shares is that a holder of CDIs has beneficial ownership of the equivalent number of Common Shares of the Company instead of legal title. Legal title is held by the CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. (’’CDN’’). The Common Shares registered in the name of CDN are held by that entity on behalf of and for the benefit of the CDI holder.

CDI HOLDERS MAY GIVE DIRECTIONS TO CDN

Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, the Company will permit CDI holders to attend the Meeting. Each CDI holder has the right to:

(a) direct CDN how to vote in respect of their CDIs; or

(b) instruct CDN to appoint the CDI holder or a person nominated by the holder as the holder’s proxy for the purposes of attending and voting at the Meeting.

If you are a CDI holder and you wish to direct CDN how to vote in respect of your CDIs or appoint yourself or a nominee as your proxy, you should read, complete, date and sign the accompanying CDI Voting Instruction Form and deposit it with Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd, GPO Box 242, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 3001 not later than 11:00 am (Melbourne time) on February 18, 2011.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares (previously defined as

‘‘ Common Shares ’’). As at the effective date of the Management Information Circular (the ‘‘ Effective Date ’’), which is January 11, 2011, the Company has 544,216,187 Common Shares without nominal or par value outstanding. The Common Shares are the only securities entitled to be voted at the Meeting, and holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each Share held.

Of the 544,216,187 Common Shares outstanding on January 11, 2011, 540,314,222 Common Shares were held by CDN, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Australian Securities Exchange (‘‘ASX’’) on behalf of holders of CDIs. CDN has issued CDIs that represent beneficial interests in the Common Shares held by CDN. CDIs are traded on the electronic transfer and settlement system operated by the ASX. Holders of Common Shares of record at the close of business of January 19, 2011 (the ‘‘ Record Date ’’) are entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each Common Share held except to the extent that:

(a) the holder has transferred the ownership of any of his Common Shares after the Record Date, and (b) the transferee of those Common Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he owns the Common Shares, and demand not later than ten (10) days before the day of the Meeting that his name be included in the list of persons entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the transferee will be entitled to vote his Common Shares at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the Directors and Executive Officers of the Company, as at the Effective Date, no person, firm or Company beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Company, except as disclosed in Table 1. above and in the Annual Report of the Company.
