Accordingly this Management Information Circular (or "MIC") and the accompanying Notice of Meeting are issued in accordance with the requirements of the relevant legislations and the ASX Listing Rules.

A. CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Annual Report of the Company including the comparative Financial Statements for the financial years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 will be presented to the meeting for review and discussion. A representative of the Company’s auditor, Grant Thornton will be present at the meeting to answer questions on the Financial Statements. Consideration of the Annual Report and Financial Statements does not require a resolution.

B. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1: SET NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

At the AGM held on 23 February 2011 management nominated (and the Shareholders appointed) six (6) Directors. Since that time three (3) of those Directors, David Sutton, Stephen Pearce and Alex Rose-Innes have resigned as part of the Company's preparation for a North American listing. Management has nominated the three (3) remaining Directors for appointment and the proposed Resolutions are detailed in the Notice of Meeting which accompanies this Management Information Circular.

Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the Management Designees, if named as proxy, to vote for the election of the persons named in Table 1. to the Board of Directors .

Management does not contemplate that any of such nominees will be unable to serve as directors. However, if for any reason any of the proposed nominees do not stand for election or are unable to serve as such, proxies held by Management Designees will be voted for another nominee in their discretion unless the shareholder has specified in his form of proxy that his Common Shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors . Each director elected will hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the by-laws of the Company or the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the ‘‘ BCBCA ’’) to which the Company is subject.

Audit Committee

The Company does not currently have a properly constituted Audit Committee due to an insufficient number of Independent Directors. Consequently the responsibilities of the Audit Committee are held by

the full Board. A summary of the responsibilities, activities and desirable membership of the A udit C ommittee is set out below and is followed by the Board in the discharge of that responsibility .

The Audit Committee’s Charter

Mandate

The primary function of the audit committee (the “Committee”) is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities. The Committee reviews the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and its shareholders and reviews the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting including our auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

  • Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting and internal control system and review the Company’s financial statements.

  • Review and appraise the performance of the Company’s external auditors.

  • Provide an open avenue of communication among the Company’s auditors, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

Composition

The Committee is comprised of three directors as determined by the Board of Directors. At least one member of the Committee should have accounting or related financial management expertise. All members of the Committee that are not financially literate will work towards becoming financially literate to obtain a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices. For the purposes of the Audit Committee Charter, the definition of “financially literate” is the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements.

The members of the Committee are elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following the annual shareholders’ meeting. Unless a Chair is elected by the full Board of Directors, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by a majority vote of the full Committee membership.

Meetings

The Committee is to meet at least once annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee is to meet at least annually with the external auditors in separate sessions.

Relevant Education and Experience

Each audit committee member has gained financial literacy through their years of experience serving as directors or officers of other companies. In these positions, each member would be responsible for receiving financial information relating to their company and obtaining an understanding of the balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows and how these statements are integral in assessing the financial position of the company and its operating results. Each member has significant understanding of the oil and gas business which the Company engages in and has an appreciation for the relevant accounting principles for that business.

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board of Directors.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

At no time since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year has the Company relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of MI 52-110 ( De Minimis Non-audit Services ), or an exemption from MI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110.

Pre-Approval of Policies and Procedures

The Directors’ have adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services and are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the period by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditors’ behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The aggregate fees billed by the Company’s external auditors for each of the last two financial years was $67,420 for 2011 and $52,340 for 2010 as follows in Table 5:

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 5: APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

On December 14, 2011 it was announced that K S Black & Co. had resigned as auditors of the Company in view of the Company's previously announced intention to seek re-listing on the TXSV and KS Black & Co. not being Canadian compliant and / or CPAB registered. Consequently, the Directors appointed Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd who are Canadian compliant auditors and Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd have conducted the audit of the Company's 2011 financial statements.

Accordingly, Management now nominates Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, as auditor of the Company to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders with the Directors authorised to fix the auditor's remuneration.

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 6: CONSIDERATION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Annual Report forwarded to Members with this Notice, or made available according to each Shareholder's nominated preference, includes a Remuneration Report commencing at page 10. The Corporations Act 2001 requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report is put to the Members at each AGM. The Directors commend the Remuneration Report to the Members.

Chairman and key Management Personnel prohibited from voting undirected proxies on the Remuneration Report

Recent amendments to the Corporations Act in respect to voting on the Remuneration Report at an Annual General Meeting have left the ability of the Chairman and other key management personnel of the Company unclear in respect to their ability to vote undirected proxies on the Remuneration Report.

It is understood that Parliament intends to clarify the position, however until that time the Chairman and other key management personnel will not be able to vote any undirected proxies on the Remuneration Report.

The Board requests that each Shareholder voting on the Remuneration Report by proxy and appointing the Chairman or any other key management personnel of the Company as their proxy, specifically mark the proxy form as to their voting intention. If any Shareholder appoints the Chairman or any key management personnel (being any Director, the Company Secretary or the Finance Manager) as their proxy, and fails to direct the proxy holder how to vote on the Remuneration Report, then as the law currently stands that vote will not be counted on a poll.

The prohibition only applies to the Chairman or key management personnel voting undirected proxies in respect to the Remuneration Report and will not affect any of the other proposed resolutions. If a Shareholder appoints a person other than the Chairman or one of the key management personnel as their undirected proxy, then no prohibition applies and that proxy holder may vote those shares on all resolutions as he or she decides.

Introduction of the "2 Strikes Rule"

Recent amendments to the Corporations Act have also introduced what has become known as the "2 Strikes Rule". Under this Rule:

  • if 25% of the votes cast at an AGM in respect to the Remuneration Report oppose the Report, and Shareholders make comments at the Meeting, then the following year the board must report on any proposed responses to those comments, or explain why it does not propose any response;

  • if 25% of the votes cast at two consecutive AGMs oppose the adoption of the Remuneration Report, then at the second AGM, the Company must give Shareholders the option (if 50% or more of votes cast are in favour of a "spill") to require the entire board (except the managing director) to stand for re-election at a further general meeting. This further general meeting must take place within 90 days.

For the information of Members, the "No" vote cast on the Remuneration Report at the 2011 AGM was 0.03%.

The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all Shareholders that they vote in favour of this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 7: ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MANAGING DIRECTOR, TOREY MARSHALL, PURSUANT TO HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Resolution 7 is proposed to obtain approval for the issue of 40,000,000 unquoted performance Rights to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, to the Company's Managing Director, Mr. Torey Marshall in accordance with the terms of his Employment Agreement. The Performance Rights are a long term incentive and have not yet been issued to Mr. Marshall.

The Performance Rights will be issued within 7 days, and in any event no later than 1 month, of the date of the meeting and conversion into shares will be subject to achievement of the Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") at the discretion of the Board, and achievement of one the vesting conditions as listed below. In addition the Performance Rights will be escrowed for 2 years from the date of issue.

Each Performance Right entitles the holder (Mr. Marshall) to receive one share for no cash consideration once the relevant performance hurdles have been met and the right has vested in the holder.

Key Performance Indicators

All to be achieved, at the discretion of the Board.

  1. Completion of a third Capital Raising for the Company (in addition to the 2 raisings completed prior to the Commencement Date of this Agreement);

  2. Introduction of a new project in Africa;

  3. The Company progresses any of the projects of the Company including but not limited to a farmout or joint venture agreement entered into between the Company and a third party;

  4. Completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study for one of the projects in the Company’s portfolio;

  5. Closing at least one phase of project finance for any project in the Company’s portfolio;

  6. Listing of the Company on a North American Stock Exchange on which it is not listed at the Commencement Date;

  7. The share price of the Company remaining at 7 cents or more for 2 consecutive months during the Term;

  8. The Executive being employed by the Company in the Position for at least 2 years.

Vesting Conditions

One to be achieved.

  1. Achievement of each of the Performance Rights KPIs (as determined by the Board, in its complete discretion);

  2. The Executive ceases to be employed by the Company in the Position, notwithstanding that he may be employed by the Company in another role;

  3. 50% or more of the shareholding of the Company is acquired by a third party following a takeover bid by that party (whether recommended by the Board or not) and rollover tax relief is not available to the Executive;

  4. The expiration of 10 years from the date of issue of the Performance Rights by the Company to the Executive.

Given that Mr. Marshall is a related party, approval is being sought for the proposed issue in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.11. ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party, without the approval of Members.

If approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 then approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, more than fifteen percent (15%) of its capital without the approval of its Members.

This proposed Resolution is subject to a voting restriction as detailed in the Notice of Meeting.

As the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr. Marshall as part of his remuneration no funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights. Nor will any funds be raised upon conversion of the Performance Rights (assuming the KPIs are achieved), into ordinary fully paid shares.

In the event that all the Performance Rights are ultimately converted then provided the current issued capital remains unchanged until that time, Mr. Marshall's related party holdings will increase to 109,363,925 which will be 17.10% of the Company's then issued capital.

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.

RESOLUTIONS 8 to 12: SHARE ISSUE TO PAST AND PRESENT DIRECTORS IN LIEU OF CASH PAYMENTS FOR UNPAID DIRECTORS' FEES

Following the acquisition of Earth Heat Limited in January 2010 by Fall River Resources Ltd (now Earth Heat Resources Ltd), it was proposed by the Board in February 2010 that, commencing immediately, in an effort to preserve available cash, all non executive directors (and executive director Alex Rose-Innes) agree to defer payment of their director's fees (already accrued and to accrue) to a future date when consideration may be given to either a cash payment or an equivalent issue of shares. The Directors concerned are Messrs Shaw, Zillman, Sutton, Pearce and Rose-Innes with the last three having since resigned effective 6 May 2011. The total accrued directors' fees for the varying periods averaging around two years (except for Mr. Rose-Innes which was less than one year) is $436,354.59 based upon the then total annual fees of $259,000 as follows:

Chairman - Dr. Shaw $65,000 per annum;

Non Executive Directors - Messrs NJ Zillman, DH Sutton & SW Pearce $48,000 PA each; and Executive Director A Rose-Innes $50,000 in total.

Note:

Following the resignations of Directors Sutton, Pearce & Rose-Innes the actual annual non executive directors fees are now $113,000.

With available cash remaining tight it is now proposed that the outstanding Director's fees be settled by the issue of fully paid ordinary shares as detailed in table 6 below. The parties have agreed that the most appropriate way to determine the issue price for these shares is to utilise the VWAP over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of this meeting. Shareholders will appreciate that it is virtually impossible to accurately determine the likely future price of the Company's shares 6 weeks hence, however the Directors consider it likely that the price will remain fairly constant over that period.

During the accrual period concerned (which exceeds more than 2 years) the Company share price has ranged from $0.013 to $0.091 and at the date of this MIC is $0.041. If the share price at the date of this MIC is adopted for the purposes of an example, the number of shares to be issued as a result of this resolution will be as estimated in table 6 below. The shares will be issued within one month of the date of the meeting and no funds will be raised by the issue.

TOTAL 436,354.59 10,642,795

Notes:

1) The number of shares issued may be greater or lower than the estimate in Table 6 depending on the actual share price over the 5 day VWAP period prior to this meeting.

2) ASX Listing Rule 10.13.5 requires the issue price of the shares to be disclosed however, as stated above, that is not possible at the date of this MIC as the future VWAP of the shares over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of this meeting is unknown. Accordingly the Company has applied to the ASX for a waiver from that requirement of Listing Rule 10.13.5. In the event that the waiver application is unsuccessful Resolutions 8 to 12 will be withdrawn from the meeting. For the purposes of completing proxy forms, shareholders should proceed on the assumption that the waiver will be granted.

Given that Messrs Shaw and Zillman are currently related parties and Messrs Sutton, Pearce and RoseInnes were related parties during most of the period concerned, approval is being sought for the proposed issues in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.11. ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party, without the approval of Members.

If approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 then approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, more than fifteen percent (15%) of its capital without the approval of its Members.

Listing Rule 10.13

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares:

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

  • As stated above it is not possible to accurately determine the number of shares to be issued as the issue is dependent upon the VWAP of the shares traded over the 5 trading days immediately prior to this meeting. Based upon the share price at the date of this MIC of $0.041, the total number of shares to be issued would be 10,642,795 as detailed in table 6.

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

The shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

c) The issue price of the Placement Shares

The issue price will be no less than 100% 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 date of this meeting.

  • d) The names of the allottees

The names of the allottees are as detailed in Table 6 above.

e) The terms of the securities

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

The proposed Resolutions are subject to voting restrictions as detailed in the Notice of Meeting. 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.

RESOLUTIONS 13 & 14: APPROVAL OF FUTURE SECURITIES PLACEMENTS

On October 10, 2011 the Shareholders approved the issue of up to 136,000,000 ordinary shares and up to 20,000,000 unquoted options to any party or parties nominated by the Company, who shall not be related parties. During the period since the February 23, 2011 AGM the Company has released regular Corporate Updates in respect to recent and historic activities and the conclusions reached for future directions.

The circumstances leading to the consideration of the two resolutions at the October 10, 2011 EGM are unchanged and to date only 20,000,000 of the shares and 10,000,000 of the options have been issued in accordance with the approval.

As stated in the MIC for the October 12, 2011 EGM, 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 TSXV, 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. On November 24, 2011 the Company announced that Inter-American Development Bank had been mandated to raise up to USD134m in project finance for the development of the 30MWe Copahue project in Argentina. At the present time the Company is in confidential discussions with a number of groups and made a detailed announcement on December 22, 2011 regarding the solid progress to date.

The Managing Director, Torey Marshall observed in the Corporate Update that: “Taken together, the progress and position of our Project Finance now puts the Company in an enviable position. We stand out as the only ASX listed Geothermal Company which has a clearly identified plan for its funding solution – and one so far in advance of the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. This reflects genuine third party interest and the quality of the Copahue Project itself. Project Financing milestones which we have already achieved would not normally be attained until either after, or well into, the Bankable Feasibility Stage. The current situation is particularly heartening given the relative size of the Company and the funding level requirements for the project. This is particularly more so given the advances we have recently made in what are extremely difficult macro-economic conditions.

The Company is now connected with just about every major Geothermal financier in the world on some level, and has exceeded any reasonable expectations for obtaining project finance. Considering that shareholders are often exposed to significant project CAPEX, our funding solution once implemented will virtually eliminate the chances of future large equity raises for this project"

Resolution 13: Approval of future share placement

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 4.1 cents ($0,041) 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 $4,460,800. 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 remains 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 18.2% of the then issued capital of the Company being 746,175,438 (assuming the approval of the share issues detailed in Table 6 above) 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 proposed 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.

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.

f) 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.

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 to future unquoted option placement

The Company considers that it would be advantageous to the various corporate negotiations and possible future Placements, if up to 50,000,000 unquoted options were available for issue (to non related parties) as a way of assisting with those negotiations and to preserve cash in lieu of paying fees to relevant parties. The options would only be issued if the Directors considered in their sole and absolute discretion, that it would be in the best interests of the Company to do so in order to bring any negotiations or corporate activities to a satisfactory conclusion and in a timely fashion.

If required to be issued in association with a Placement, the options will have an exercise price being 200% of the Placement share price the subject of Resolution 13, or if issued for corporate purposes then at 200% of the VWAP over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the issue, both with an expiry date 36 months after issue. If approved the options the subject of this Resolution will be issued within three months of the meeting.

This Resolution 14 seeks approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholder approval being obtained under Listing 7.1 is that the ability of the Company to issue further securities up to the 15% limited imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 is preserved.

Listing Rule 7.3

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

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

The maximum number of unquoted options to be issued is 50,000,000.

b) The issue price of the securities

The unquoted options will be issued at no cost to the recipient.

  • c) The date by which the entity will issue the securities

The unquoted options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

d) The exercise price of the securities

The exercise price of the unquoted options, if issued in association with a Placement, will be 200% of the issue price of the placement shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 13, or if issued for general corporate purposes then at 200% of the VWAP over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the issue.

Resolution 13 provides for a share 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. Therefore, by way of example, if the shares the subject of Resolution 13 were to be issued at an issue price per share of $0.0328 (80% of the current share price of $0.041) then the exercise price of the options the subject of this Resolution 14 would be $0.0656 each.

Alternatively, if the options are issued for general corporate purposes not associated with a Placement, the exercise price shall be 200% of the VWAP over the 5 trading days immediately prior to the issue. By way of example, if the current share price of $0.041 is adopted as the applicable VWAP then the option exercise price shall be $0.082.

e) The names of the grantees

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

f) The terms of the securities

The unquoted options will have a term of 36 months.

g) The dates of grant

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

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.

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 (48) 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 17, 2012.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares (previously defined as ‘‘ Common Shares ’’).

(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.
