1 RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO PRECENT EIGHT PTY LIMITED

On 8 December 2009 the Company announced that it had entered into a Corporate Services agreement with Precinct Eight Pty Ltd and that as part consideration of services to be performed pursuant to this agreement the Company had issued 500,000 Shares and 2,000,000 Options to subscribe for shares in the Company at a price of $0.23 per share at any time before 8 December 2011.

1.2 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of Shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue (with certain exceptions).

Listing Rule 7.4 allows issues of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • (a) the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (b) the company's members subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 500,000 Shares and 2,000,000 Options as announced on 8 December 2009 to ensure that the Company does not use up or exceed its 15% capacity and retains the capacity to issue further securities.

  • (c) the Shares were issued as fully paid and rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;
  • (d) the Shares and options were issued to Precinct Eight Pty Ltd; and
  • (e) the securities were issued in consideration for services provided by Precinct Eight Pty Ltd and no funds were raised from the issue.

2 RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – APPROVAL OF SHARE ISSUE TO KEN FITZGERALD AND JULIE GLANVILLE

2.1 Introduction

As set out in the Company's prospectus dated 9 October 2009, the Company has reached a settlement with Fitzgerald and Glanville ("Debt Settlement Agreement") in relation to services they provided to the Company prior to it gaining admission to ASX. Fitzgerald and Glanville claimed $766,534.58. Under the Debt Services Agreement (which was conditional upon ASX listing), Fitzgerald and Glanville agreed to receive cash and Shares in full satisfaction of their claim; the amount to be received to be determined by the amount raised under the Company's initial public offer.

The Company raised $5,000,000 under its initial public offer, and it is obliged to:

  • (a) pay $100,000; and
  • (b) issue 800,000 Shares,

to each of Fitzgerald and Glanville.

Accordingly, Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval to issue 800,000 Shares to each of Fitzgerald and Glanville for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes) in accordance with the Debt Settlement Agreement.

If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Shares under Resolutions 2 and 3, then the outstanding portion of the debt will be paid in quarterly installments to Fitzgerald and Glanville over a 24 month period.

2.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Fitzgerald and Glanville are Directors and hence related parties of the Company and Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 must be obtained to issue 800,000 Shares to each of Fitzgerald and Glanville.

2.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to W Fitzgerald and Glanville:

  • (a) 800,000 Shares are to be issued to each of Fitzgerald and Glanville;
  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 1,600,000;
  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that the Shares will be issued on one date;
  • (d) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally with all existing Shares on issue and have a deemed issue price of $0.20 per Share; and
  • (e) the Shares will be issued in accordance with the Debt Settlement Agreement for nil cash consideration and, accordingly no funds will be raised.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (Exception 14), approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue Shares under Resolution 2 as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares under Resolutions 2 and 3 will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, if Resolutions 2 and 3 are approved by Shareholders.

2.4 Board Recommendation

The Directors who do not have a material interest in Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (a) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 and 3; and
  • (b) have determined that the proposed issue of Shares falls within the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and therefore Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act does not apply to the issue.

3 RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SECURITIES

3.1 Background

In the previous 12 months, the Company has issued equity securities to the parties detailed below.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without prior approval of Shareholders, issue securities if the securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company's members subsequently approve it.

Under this resolution, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issues of securities set out below so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of securities in the next 12 months.

Details of the Shares issued are set out in the table below. They comprise 9.48% of the Company's share capital. Shares issued are fully paid ordinary Shares and rank equally with all existing Shares on issue.

The funds raised are to provide additional working capital for the Company and the Indonesia operations as well as to develop the potential manganese prospects identified in Zambia in the Joint Venture with Eagle Eye Mining Zambia Limited ("Eagle Eye") announced on the 20 May 2010.

The Board believes that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as it allows the Company to ratify the above issue of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company's share capital during the next 12 months. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

4 RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF PLACEMENT FACILITY

4.1 Introduction
