EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the 2011 Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on Friday 30 November 2012 at Suite 6, 245 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Director’s Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

In accordance with the amendments to the Corporations Act, the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company Annual Financial Report on its website at http://www.prospectresources.com.au.

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the management and performance of the Company.

RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report.

The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at http://www.prospectresources.com.au.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2011 AGM, and then again at the 2012 AGM, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2012 AGM to approve the calling of an extraordinary general meeting ( spill resolution ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( spill meeting ) within 90 days of the 2012 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2012 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to KMPs (including Directors) and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any share-based compensation.

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters must not vote on this Resolution and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote, or the proxy is given to the Chair and you mark the box on, and submit, the Proxy Form, authorising the Chair to exercise the proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP and that in doing so you will be taken to have directed him to vote in accordance with his stated intention to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Shareholders are urged to read carefully the Proxy Form and to provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

How to complete this Proxy Form

For your proxy vote to be effective, your completed Proxy Form must be received by 10.00 am (WST) on Wednesday 28 November 2012.

Step 1: Appointing a proxy

If you are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. A proxy can be an individual or a body corporate and need not be a securityholder. You may select the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.

Appointing a second proxy: You can appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you must specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise. If no percentage is specified, each proxy may exercise half of your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. A separate Proxy Form must be used for each proxy.

Default to the Chairman of the meeting : Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chairman of the meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed.

Proxy voting by key management personnel: The key management personnel of Prospect Resources Limited (which includes each of the Directors and any other persons who are key management personnel of the Company at the date of the meeting) and their closely related parties will not be able to vote as your proxy on Resolution 1 unless you direct them how to vote. If you intend:

  • (a) to appoint a member of the key management personnel or one of their closely related parties as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1; or

  • (b) to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by either marking the boxes for Resolution 1 (for example if you wish to vote against or abstain from voting) or by marking the Chairman’s box on the proxy form (in which case the Chairman of the meeting will vote in favour of Resolution 1).

Additional Proxy Forms: You can obtain additional Proxy Forms by telephoning the Company or you may copy this Form. Please lodge both Proxy Forms together.

Step 2: Voting directions

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark (�) in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions. If you mark the “Abstain” box for an item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item. If you mark more than one box for an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.

Voting a portion of your holding: You may indicate that only a portion of your voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting a percentage or the number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. The total of votes cast, or the percentage for or against, an item must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

No directions: If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses.
