Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

• the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

• if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

• if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

• if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

• an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

• the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

• at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

1.2 Previous Issue of Plan Shares

At the general meeting of the Company held on 30 September 2011 Shareholders resolved to issue up to 8,750,000 Plan Shares to Dr Eric Lilford (or his nominee), up to 3,250,000 Plan Shares to Mr Bevan Tarratt (or his nominee), up to 1,000,000 Plan Shares to Mr David Greenwood. The Board has resolved that it will no longer proceed with the issue of the Plan Shares to Dr Eric Lilford and Mr David Greenwood (or their nominees). As a result, the total number of Plan Shares issued to Directors under Listing Rule 10.14, is 6,250,000 (being the Plan Shares previously issued to Mr Bevan Tarratt and the Plan Shares previously issued to Mr Ian Benning on 5 August 2011).

1.3

Related Party Transaction

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

• (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

• (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The grant of Plan Shares to Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt under the Plan requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because this constitutes giving a financial benefit and, as Directors, Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue the Plan Shares to Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt.

1.4 Technical Information Required by Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Plan Shares pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 3:

13

3108-01/728587_17

• (a) the related parties are Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt ( Related Parties ) and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

• (b) the maximum number of Plan Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to each Related Party is:

Related Party	Number of Plan Shares	Total Value of Plan Shares1

Mr Phillipe Lalieu	6,000,000	$1,200,000
Mr Bevan Tarratt	6,000,000	$1,200,000

1 This is based on the value of the Shares set out in Section 2.4(c) below.

• (c) based on the closing trading price on the day before the date of this notice of $0.20, the Plan Shares have a value of $3,600,000 (assuming all Performance Milestones are met).

• (d) the Plan Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

• (e) in determining the number of Plan Shares to be issued to the Related Parties, consideration was given to the respective relevant experience and role of the Related Parties, their overall remuneration terms, and the terms of share packages granted to Directors of similar companies;

• (f) the Plan Shares will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in the Plan which have been summarised in Schedule 1.

• (g) the Plan Shares will be issued as part of the remuneration for Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt in addition to the cash salary component of their remuneration and so will be issued for a nil issue price and accordingly, no funds will be raised;

• (h) as at the date of this Notice, each Related Party has a relevant interest in the following Company securities:

Related Party	Number of Shares	Number of Options	Plan Shares
Mr Ian Benning	3,000,000	Nil	3,000,000

• 2 500,000 options exercisable at 6 cents each on or before 30 September 2012 and 1,000,000 options exercisable at 10 cents each on or before 30 September 2012.

• (i) the remuneration and emoluments paid (or to be paid) by the Company to each of the Related Parties for the last financial year and current financial year (inclusive of superannuation) is as follows;

Related Party	Financial Year ended 30 June 2011	Financial Year ended 30 June 2012 (to date)

Mr Phillipe Lalieu	Nil	$225,000
Mr Bevan Tarratt	Nil	$262,500

• (j) if Shareholders approve the issue of the Plan Shares to the Related Parties, the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 3.6% on an undiluted basis, comprising 1.23% by Mr Ian Benning, 1.23% by Mr Phillipe Lalieu and 1.23% by Mr Bevan Tarratt (based on 488,535,899 Shares being currently on issue);

(k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

	Price	Date
Highest	$0.27	20 January 2012

Last	$0.20	23 March 2012

(l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Plan Shares to Mr Ian Benning, Mr Phillipe Lalieu and Mr Bevan Tarratt, is to provide a market linked incentive package for the future performance and cost effective consideration for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors.

The Board (other than each individual Director when considering that individual Directors’ experience) considered the extensive experience and reputation of each Director within the mining and resources industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number Shares to be issued to each Director. In addition, the Board considers the issue of the Plan Shares to each individual Director to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. If the Plan Shares are not issued, the Company could remunerate the Directors for additional amounts. However, the Board considers it reasonable for the remuneration each

15

3108-01/728587_17

of the Directors to have a cash component and an equity component to further align the Related Parties’ interests with Shareholders and maintain a strong cash position for the Company.

As outlined above, there are alternate options available in respect of the grant of the Shares in respect of remunerating the executive Directors. Accordingly, Shareholders should consider the above matters carefully before deciding how to vote on these Resolutions. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Plan Shares to the Related Parties upon the terms proposed; and

• (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Plan Shares to the Related Parties, who are non-executive Directors, is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Plan Shares to the Related Parties reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 1.4(l) above.

1.5 Directors’ Recommendation

• (a) The Directors (other than as set out below) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 to 3 for the following reasons:

• (i) the benefit set out in Sections 1.4(l) and 1.4(l) above the proposed issue of Shares to the Related Parties will have on the Company;

• (ii) the issue of the Shares to the Related Parties is an appropriate form of incentive to maximise returns to Shareholders; and

• (iii) the terms of the proposed issue of Shares to the Related Parties are reasonable to the Company.

• (b) Mr Ian Benning declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The independent Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The independent Directors are not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 1.

• (c) Mr Phillipe Lalieu declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
