EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 11:00 am (WST) on 14 May 2014 at Suite 6, 245 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008.

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 this Notice of Meeting. If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in this Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.

Part A: Placement to investors to raise $1.1 million

Background

On 21 January 2014, the Company announced that it had completed a placement to raise $1,100,000 from a number of investors depicted in the table below, through the execution of subscription agreements, in consideration for Shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.01 per Share ( Placement ).

Table 1 – Investors under the Placement

Investors Subscription
Amount $
MBM Capital Partners LLP (MBM Subscription Agreement) $850,000.00
Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane (Sirius Trustees Subscription
Agreement)
$100,000.00
Entities related to Hugh Warner (Related Party Subscription Agreements) $150,000.00
Total $1,100,000.00

In accordance with the terms of the MBM Subscription Agreement and Sirius Trustees Subscription Agreement, the Company issued 85,00,000 Shares and 10,000,000 Shares respectively to MBM Capital Partners LLP and Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of these Shares.

In the same announcement (21 January 2014), it was noted that the Related Party Subscription Agreements would be subject to Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company. Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares pursuant to these Agreements is being sought under Resolution 2 of this Notice of Meeting.

Furthermore, it was noted that the funds raised under the Placement would be used as follows:

8

Table 2 – Proposed use of funds raised under the Placement

Proposed use of funds General working capital. Fund exploration of the Company’s Zimbabwe gold assets.

Progress the previously announced (29 November 2013) litigation against Alexander Molyneux, Blumont Group Ltd and Pacific Advisers Pte Ltd in relation to a subscription for $3,900,000 worth of Shares in the Company at issue price of $0.012 per Share.

RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

Resolution 1 proposes that Shareholders approve and ratify the issue and allotment of 95,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which was made by the Company on 21 January 2014 as part of the Placement pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As outlined in Table 1, in accordance with their respective subscription agreements:

  • MBM Capital Partners LLP received 85,000,000 Shares in the Company; and

  • Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane received 10,000,000 Shares in the Company.

Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Board of an ASX Listed Company to issue up to 15% of the Company’s issued capital in any 12 month period without the approval of the members of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of approval of Resolution 1 is to allow the Board of the Company to issue additional Shares within the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 after this Resolution is adopted, instead of having to wait until 21 January 2015 (being 12 months after the issue of Shares to MBM Capital Partners LLP and Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane).

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to the shares is provided to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (a) 95,000,000 Shares in the capital of the Company were issued as part of the Placement.

  • (b) Shares under the Placement were issued at $0.01 per Share.

  • (c) Shares under the Placement were fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

9

  • (d) MBM Capital Partners LLP has been allotted 85,000,000 Shares in accordance with the MBM Subscription Agreement, and Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane has been allotted 10,000,000 Shares in accordance with the Sirius Trustees Subscription Agreement.

  • (e) The Company intends to use funds raised in accordance with Table 2.

RESOLUTION 2 – RELATED PARTIES APPROVAL – HUGH WARNER AND RELATED ENTITIES

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue equity securities to a related party without shareholder approval.

A “related party” for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company or a spouse of a director of a public company. The definition of ‘related party’ also includes (section 228(6) of the Corporations Act) a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

Hugh Warner ( Mr Warner ) is the current Executive Chairman and Director of the Company and therefore a related party for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and this Notice of Meeting. Mr Warner currently directly and indirectly holds Securities in the Company through a number of entities ( Warner Related Entities ).

As outlined in Table 1, it is proposed Shares in the Company are issued to two of the Warner Related Entities, being Hugh Warner & Dianne Warner and Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd ( Relevant Warner Related Entities ) in accordance with the Related Party Subscription Agreements.

These Related Party Subscription Agreements can be further broken down as follows:

Table 3 – Related Party Subscription Agreements

Relevant Warner Related Entities Subscription Amount subject to
Shareholder Approval $
Hugh Warner & Dianne Warner $75,000.00
Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd $75,000.00
Total $150,000.00

The Relevant Warner Related Entities are related to Mr Warner, and therefore related parties for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and this Notice of Meeting for the following reasons:

  • Dianne Warner ( Ms Warner ) is the spouse of Mr Warner;

  • Mr and Ms Warner, in their capacity as trustees of the CBM Superfund, controls the CBM Superfund; and

  • Ms Warner is the sole director of Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd (which in turn acts as the trustee of the CBM Family Trust), controls the CBM Family Trust and Mr Warner is a beneficiary of the CBM Family Trust.

10

Current and proposed Shareholdings of Mr Warner (and related entities) are as follows:

Table 4 – Mr Warner and Warner Related Entities

Shareholder Shareholder Current interests in the Company Proposed issue of Shares
pursuant to this Resolution
61,300,000 Shares
16,000,000 unlisted options
12,500,000 management
options
Mr Warner and Warner Related
Entities(a)
15,000,000 Shares
Notes:

(a) Warner Related Entities include Hugh Warner & Dianne Warner , Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd , Anglo Pacific Ventures Pty Ltd and The Longevity Fund Pty Ltd.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the issue of Shares to the Relevant Warner Related Entities constitute the giving of a financial benefit.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 15,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 1 cent ($0.01) per Share as announced by the Company on 21 January 2014, to the Relevant Warner Related Entities.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

The non-related Directors of the Company, being Harry Greaves, Gerry Fahey and Zed Rusike believe that the issue of Shares to the Relevant Warner Related Entities could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act. These non-related Directors have based their belief on the following facts:

  • (a) The Relevant Warner Related Entities are taking part in the issue as part of the Placement, wherein MBM Capital Partners LLP and Sirius Trustees Ltd, as trustee of the Abangane, who are not related parties of the Company, are also being issued Shares in the Company at the same issue price of 1 cent ($0.01) per Share.

  • (b) The issue price at which the Placement is being conducted, 1 cent ($0.01), is significantly higher than 0.7 cent ($0.007), which is the price at which the Shares of the Company are currently trading (as of 28 February 2014). Since December 2013, the Shares in the Company have not traded higher than 0.7 cent ($0.007), therefore the issue price at which the Placement is being conducted represents a significant premium.

Notwithstanding this, the Board of the Company considered it prudent to seek related party approval for the issue of Shares to the Relevant Warner Related Entities.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

11

  • (a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to the Relevant Warner Related Entities is 15,000,000.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued by 14 June 2014.

  • (c) The issue price of each Share being issued to the Relevant Warner Related Entities is 1 cent ($0.01).

  • (d) The allottees are the Relevant Warner Related Entities, being Hugh Warner & Dianne Warner and Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd .

  • (e) The Shares to be issued to the Relevant Warner Related Entities will be fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing Shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (f) The Company intends to use funds raised in accordance with Table 2.

Information Required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The related party to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given

Each of the Relevant Warner Related Entities, being Hugh Warner & Dianne Warner and Elliot Holdings Pty Ltd are a related party of the Company to whom this Resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given.

The nature of the financial benefit and other remuneration of the Relevant Warner Related Entities

  • (a) The nature of the financial benefit to be given to the Relevant Warner Related Entities is the issue of 15,000,000 Shares in the Company.

  • (b) The Relevant Warner Related Entities (through their association with Mr Warner) will not receive other remuneration from the Company in addition to the financial benefit outlined in above paragraph (a). It is the Company’s intention to provide remuneration to Mr Warner in the form of a salary for his role as a Director of the Company upon sufficient capital being raised by the Company.

  • (c) The full terms of the Shares to be issued to the Relevant Warner Related Entities are set out above under “Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13” for this Resolution.

Directors recommendation and basis of financial benefit

  • (a) The Board currently consists of Mr Warner (Executive Chairman), Mr Harry Greaves (Non-Executive Director), Mr Gerry Fahey (Non-Executive Director) and Mr Zed Rusike (Non-Executive Director).

  • (b) Mr Warner will not be making a recommendation about this Resolution as Mr Warner, through his control of the Relevant Warner Related Entities, has a direct material interest in the outcome of this Resolution, notwithstanding the fact that the Board believes that the issue of Shares to the Relevant Warner Related Entities could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

  • (c) Each of the remaining Directors of the Board, being Mr Greaves, Mr Fahey and Mr Rusike do not have a material interest in the outcome of this Resolution. These

12

non-related Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution for the following reasons:

  • (a) As set out earlier, the issue of Shares to the Relevant Warner Related Entities could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) The Placement affords an opportunity for the Company to strengthen its cash balance sheet in a climate where raising funds is becomingly increasingly difficult, and as such, the opportunity to raise a further $150,000 from a related party on the same terms as being offered to other non-related parties and at a premium price should not be passed upon by the Company and its Shareholders.

  • (d) The non-related Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

  • (e) The Company intends to use funds raised in accordance with Table 2.

Part B: Acquisition of further mining claims

Background

On 15 July 2013, Shareholders of the Company will recall that the Company announced, inter alia, that it had entered into a Placement Exclusivity Agreement ( Exclusivity Agreement ) with Continental Minerals Limited ( CML ), a mining company based in Zimbabwe. CML is a related party of Mr Greaves, the current Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, nominees of CML agreed to for a period of 3 years to exclusively present mining opportunities it became aware of in Zimbabwe to the Company.

On 25 February 2014, the Company announced that Hawkmoth Mining and Exploration (Private) Limited ( HME ) (a mining company based in Zimbabwe that Prospect Resources Limited is in the process of acquiring a 70% interest in) had entered into the following agreements:

  • Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement – whereby HME can earn a 100% interest in certain mining claims by spending US$3 million on exploration and associated activities over 3 years ( Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement ); and

  • Conditional Agreement to Acquire Additional Mining Claims – whereby HME can acquire a 100% interest in certain mining claims in consideration for US$424,000 ( Additional Mining Claims Agreement ).

The Farvic Agreement is the product of the efforts of the CML nominees pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement. As such, and in accordance with the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement, a fee is payable to CML. The parties negotiated in good faith about this fee, and in accordance with the previous consideration paid for with respects to entry into the Exclusivity Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought under Resolution 3 of this Notice of Meeting), to issue 60,000,000 Shares in the Company to CML (or its nominees) for no monetary consideration ( CML Fee Placement ).

CML has advised that the recipients of the 60,000,000 Shares under the CML Fee Placement are as follows:

- Greater Farvic Farm in Agreement

As announced by the Company on 25 February 2014, HME entered into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement with Farvic Consolidated Mines (Pvt) Limited ( FCM ).

The Company is currently in the process of acquiring a 70% interest in HME. The remaining 30% of HME is held by FCM. FCM is a related party to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike. Therefore, as the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement involves related entities to the Company, Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolution 7 of this Notice of Meeting to ratify the Company’s entry into the agreement.

Material terms of the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement are as follows:

  • HME may earn 51% in certain mining claims by spending US$1.5 million within 24 months of all conditions being satisfied ( First Vesting Date ).

  • HME may earn 100% of the mining claims by spending a further US$1.5 million within 12 months from the First Vesting Date.

  • Conditions that need to be satisfied include:

  • FCM to obtain all consents necessary under the laws of Zimbabwe;

  • HME and FCM to obtain land access rights from any party owning surface fights to the claims;

  • Approval from regulatory authorities in Australia, if required;

  • Shareholder approval from the Company for the issue of 60,000,000 Shares under the CML Fee Placement; and

  • Approval from the Zimbabwe Investment Authority for HME to acquire an interest in the claims.

The mining claims that fall within the ambit of the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement are as follows:

Table 9 – Mining claims under Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement and the Additional Mining Claims Agreement

Mining Claims Description
Historic production of 499kg or approximately 16,000oz of gold at 33.1 g/t.
The Prestwood Mine consists of multiple veins in greenstones at the monzonite contact.
The reef is open ended down dip below 250m. It is considered particularly prospective
as it lies in the same geological setting as the Farvic Gold Mine.
Shaft rehabilitation is underway and once complete, underground drilling for parallel
reefs is planned. Evidence of parallel reefs is supported by the ground magnetic survey
in January.
The Company’s maiden drilling programme to test down dip extension of main reef and
surface anomalies is scheduled to commence shortly.
Prestwood Mine
Historic production of 756kg of gold at 6.9 g/t.
The Sally Mine consists of wide quartz stockwork (up to 4m) dipping north in
granodiorte.
Sally Mine
Historic production of 1,063kg of gold at 15.1 g/t.
The Colleen Baw Mine consists of a quartz reef in greenstone close to monzonite and
thrusted limestone contacts. It was historically a sulphide rich, refractory ore that caused
recovery problems. These issues can now be addressed using modern processing
techniques such as fine grinding.
Colleen Bawn Mine
Historic production of 1,315kg of gold at 5 g/t and 750kg of copper.
The Valley Mine is a shallow dipping quartz vein stockwork with disseminated sulphides
associated with copper in a felsic intrusion within normally barren country rock gneisses.
It is believed that flooding caused the premature end to mining activity.
Valley Mine
Other smaller but prospective older mines include Bye & Bye, Act, Beaufort, Wilson and
Ettrick.
Other Mines

Additional Mining Claims Agreement

As announced by the Company on 25 February 2014, HME has entered into the Additional Mining Claims Agreement with Mixnote Investments (Pvt) Limited ( Mixnote Investments ). Mixnote Investments is a subsidiary of FCM. As noted previously, FCM is a related party to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike. Although Mixnote Investments will be deriving a financial benefit under the Additional Mining Claims Agreement, related party approval will not be sought for Mixnote Investments as the non-related Directors of the Company, being Mr Warner and Mr Fahey are of the view that the transaction has been undertaken on an arms-length basis.

These non-related Directors have come to form their view based on the fact that during November 2013, Mixnote Investments acquired the mining claims subject of the Additional Mining Claims Agreement from a third party vendor, in consideration for US$400,000. In order to settle this transaction, Mixnote Investments borrowed funds at an interest rate of 12% p.a. HME has entered into the Additional Mining Claims Agreement to acquire the same claims for the exact same purchase price, plus the interest charge which has been accruing since the date of entry. As such, the non-related Directors are of the view that as HME is simply taking Mixnote Investment’s place in the earlier November 2013 transaction, this transaction has been undertaken on an arms-length basis.

Material terms of the Additional Mining Claims Agreement are as follows:

17

  • HME has acquired an exclusive 6 month option to acquire the claims for US$400,000. This 6 month option cost HME $24,000 which represents the interest charge on the loan taken out by Mixnote Investments to finance the November 2013 transaction.

  • HME may extend the 6 month option for a further 3 months. This extension option will cost HME $12,000 which represents the interest charge to be incurred by Mixnote Investments during that 3 month period.

  • During this exclusivity period, HME may carry out mineral exploration and associated activities on the mining claims, including exploration in and around the historic Prestwood Mine.

  • Conditions that need to be satisfied include:

  • HME having sufficient funds to acquire the mining claims and exercise the option as determined by the Board of the Company;

  • FCM to obtain all consents necessary under the laws of Zimbabwe;

  • Approval from regulatory authorities in Australia, if required;

  • Shareholder approval from the Company, if required;

  • Approval from the Zimbabwe Investment Authority for HME to acquire an interest in the claims.

RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES TO CONTINENTAL MINERALS LIMITED

As noted above, Shareholder approvals for the issue of the Company’s Shares to each of Harry Greaves and Zed Rusike under the CML Fee Placement (that totals 17,100,000 fully paid ordinary shares) will be dealt with under Resolutions 4 and 5 of this Notice of Meeting.

This Resolution seeks approval for the issue of the remaining balance of the total of Company’s Shares under the CML Fee Placement, being 42,900,000 fully paid ordinary shares to CML (or its nominees).

The effect of this Resolution is to provide Shareholder consent to the issue of the Shares, and for the issue of Shares to fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, which will therefore allow the Directors to issue these Shares without using the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is 42,900,000.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued on a fixed date within 3 months from the day of this Meeting, by 14 August 2014.

18

  • (c) The Shares are to be issued at a deemed price of 1 cent ($0.01) per Share.

  • (d) The allottees are nominated recipients under the CML Fee Placement who are not related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The Shares will be fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (f) The Company intends to issue the Shares as fee payable under the Exclusivity Deed.

RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RELATED PARTIES APPROVAL – HARRY GREAVES AND ZED RUSIKE

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue equity securities to a related party without shareholder approval.

A “related party” for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company or a spouse of a director of a public company. The definition of ‘related party’ also includes (section 228(6) of the Corporations Act) a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

Harry Greaves ( Mr Greaves ) and Zed Rusike ( Mr Rusike ) are current Executive Director and Non-Executive Director (respectively) of the Company and therefore related parties for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and this Notice of Meeting.

Current and proposed Shareholdings of Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike are as follows:

Table 10 – Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike

Shareholder Current interests in the
Company
Proposed issue of Shares
under the CML Fee Placement
13,457,944 Shares
Mr Greaves(a) 12,500,000 management
options
7,500,000 Shares
2,803,738 Shares
Mr Rusike 7,500,000 management
options
9,600,000 Shares

Notes:

(a) 13,457,944 Shares in the Company are held in trust by CML for Mr Greaves.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the issue of Shares to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike as part of the CML Fee Placement constitute the giving of a financial benefit.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 7,500,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of 1 cent ($0.01) per Share as part of the CML Fee Placement, to Mr Greaves.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 9,600,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of 1 cent ($0.01) per Share as part of the CML Fee Placement, to Mr Rusike.

19

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

The non-related Directors of the Company, being Mr Warner and Mr Fahey believe that the issue of Shares to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act. Mr Warner and Mr Fahey have based their belief on the following fact that Mr Warner and Mr Rusike are being issued shares as part of the CML Fee Placement, which includes recipients who are not related parties of the Company. That means the terms and quantum of the fee payable under the Exclusivity Deed would have been negotiated by factoring in majority interests from non-related parties.

Notwithstanding this, the Board of the Company considered it prudent to seek related party approval for the issue of Shares to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Greaves is 7,500,000.

  • (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Rusike is 9,600,000.

  • (c) The deemed issue price of each Share being issued to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike is 1 cent ($0.01).

  • (d)

  • The Shares will be issued by 14 June 2014.

  • (e) The allottees are CML (that will hold the Shares on trust for Mr Greaves) and Mr Rusike.

  • (f) The full terms of the Shares to be issued to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike (as part of the CML Fee Placement) are set out in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 3.

  • (g) The Company intends to issue the Shares as fee payable under the Exclusivity Deed.

Information Required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The related party to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given

Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike are each a related party of the Company to whom Resolutions 4 and 5 would permit the financial benefit to be given.

The nature of the financial benefit and other remuneration of the Relevant Warner Related Entities

  • (a) The nature of the financial benefit to be given to Mr Greaves is the issue of 7,500,000 Shares in the Company.

20

  • (b) The nature of the financial benefit to be given to Mr Rusike is the issue of 9,600,000 Shares in the Company.

  • (c) Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike will not receive other remuneration from the Company in addition to the financial benefits outlined above in paragraphs (a) and (b) (respectively). It is the Company’s intention to provide remuneration to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike in the form of a salary for their roles as Directors of the Company upon sufficient capital being raised by the Company.

  • (d) The full terms of the Shares to be issued to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike (as part of the CML Fee Placement) are set out in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 3.

Directors recommendation and basis of financial benefit

  • (a) As noted previously, the Board currently consists of Mr Warner (Executive Chairman), Mr Greaves (Executive Director), Mr Fahey (Non-Executive Director) and Mr Rusike (Non-Executive Director).

  • (b) Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike will not be making a recommendation about Resolutions 4 and 5 as they each have a direct material interest in the outcome of these Resolutions, notwithstanding the fact that the Board believes that the issue of Shares to each of them could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

  • (c) Each of the remaining Directors of the Board, being Mr Warner and Mr Fahey do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 and 5. These non-related Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 for the following reasons:

  • (a) As set out earlier, the issue of Shares to Mr Warner and Mr Fahey could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement could have only been achieved by the Company’s entry into the Exclusivity Agreement. Given that the majority of the recipients under the CML Fee Placement are non-related parties, the non-related Directors believe that the quantum of fee payable is appropriate.

  • (d) The non-related Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

  • (e) The Company intends to issue the Shares as fee payable under the Exclusivity Deed.

– Capital Structure if Resolutions 1 6 are approved by Shareholders

See Table 5 for the capital structure of the Company if Resolutions 1 – 6 are approved by Shareholders.

If only Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of Shares to Mr Greaves will have a dilutionary effect of 1.39% on existing Shareholders of the Company.

21

  • (b) In the event that Resolutions 1 – 6 are passed, the issue of Shares to Mr Rusike will have a dilutionary effect of 1.59% on existing Shareholders of the Company. If only Resolution 5 is passed, the issue of Shares to Mr Greaves will have a dilutionary effect of 1.78% on existing Shareholders of the Company

RESOLUTION 6 – RELATED PARTY APPROVAL – GREATER FARVIC FARM-IN AGREEMENT

As outlined in Part B of this Explanatory Statement, on 25 February 2014, HME entered into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement with FCM. Under the terms of the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement, HME has the potential to earn 51% in certain mining claims (outlined in Table 9) by spending US$1.5 million within 24 months of all conditions being satisfied (First Vesting Date). HME can then earn the remaining 49%, therefore taking 100% ownership of the mining claims if it spent a further US$1.5 million within 12 months from the First Vesting Date.

HME is jointly held by the Company (which is the process of acquiring 70% of HME) and FCM (which owns the remaining 30% of HME).

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is widely defined and includes a director of a public company or a spouse of a director of a public company. The definition of ‘related party’ also includes (section 228(4) of the Corporations Act) an entity controlled by a related party referred to in subsection (1), (2) or (3) of section 228 (which includes directors, their spouses and relatives).

FCM is a related party to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike, current Directors of the Company. By virtue of this relationship, FCM becomes and is a related party of the Company, as FCM is controlled by Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike.

Therefore, for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and this Notice of Meeting HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement is a related party transaction.

Under the terms of the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement, FCM stands to gain a financial benefit as it will retain a 30% stake in the mining claims (as outlined in Table 9) through its shareholding in HME. This is despite the fact that HME will be procuring its funds to invest in the mining claims from Prospect alone, and not from FCM. FCM will not be contributing to these funds at all, however will benefit from Prospect contributing to and applying the funds to develop the mining claims that FCM currently holds. In summation, FCM will be getting a “free carry” of a 30% interest in the development of the mining claims through the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement.

Any funds, revenue or interest derived from the mining claims will be first applied to settle the monies Prospect has loaned to HME (to spend on the mining claims), before it is apportioned to HME’s shareholders.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farmin Agreement which stands to financially benefit, amongst others, FCM, which is a related party to Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

The Directors of the Company who do not have a material personal interest in the transaction, being Mr Warner and Mr Fahey, believe that HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement and its terms therein, could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception

23

set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act. Mr Warner and Mr Fahey have based their belief on their experience in having dealt with similar farm-in agreements and also the due diligence process that took place with respects to the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement. Notwithstanding this, given Mr Greave’s and Mr Rusike’s relationship with FCM and the heightened potential for a conflict in interest, the Board of the Company considered it prudent to seek related party approval for the ratification of HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement.

Information Required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The related party to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given

FCM is a related party of the Company to whom Resolution 6 would permit the financial benefit to be given.

The nature of the financial benefit and other remuneration of FCM

  • (a) The nature of the financial benefit to be given to FCM is through the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement. As explained previously, under the terms of the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement, FCM will be getting a “free carry” of a 30% interest in the development of the mining claims.

  • (b) FCM will not receive other remuneration from the Company in addition to the financial benefits outlined above in paragraph (a).

Directors recommendation and basis of financial benefit

  • (c) As noted previously, the Board currently consists of Mr Warner (Executive Chairman), Mr Greaves (Executive Director), Mr Fahey (Non-Executive Director) and Mr Rusike (Non-Executive Director).

  • (d) Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike will not be making a recommendation about this Resolution as they each have a material personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution through their relationship with FCM, notwithstanding the fact that the Board believes that HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement and its terms therein could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act .

  • (e) Each of the remaining Directors of the Board, being Mr Warner and Mr Fahey do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution. These Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the following reasons:

  • (a) As set out earlier, HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement and its terms therein could fall within the “arms-length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act .

  • (b) The Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement presents an exciting opportunity for the Company (through HME) to acquire a significant interest in mining claims (as outlined in Table 9), therefore solidifying its mining interests in Zimbabwe. This transaction should not come to the surprise of Shareholders given the Company’s entry in the Exclusivity Agreement earlier. The Company has consistently maintained its desire to build its portfolio of mining interests in Zimbabwe and surrounding regions. HME’s entry into the Greater Farvic

24

Farm-in Agreement represents a step in this direction and in accordance with the Company’s strategic vision.

  • (f) Mr Warner and Mr Fahey recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The effect of this Resolution on the Capital Structure of the Company

  • (g) As no securities of the Company are proposed to be issued under this Resolution, the passing of this Resolution will not have a dilutionary effect on existing Shareholders of the Company.

Existing relevant interests

  • (h) Table 11 sets out the interests of Mr Greaves and Mr Rusike.

How to complete this Proxy Form

For your proxy vote to be effective, your completed Proxy Form must be received by 11:00 am (WST) on 12 May 2014.

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.

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.

Step 3: Signing instructions

Companies: For a corporate securityholder, if the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign this Proxy Form. If the company does not have a company secretary (under section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 (“ Act ”)), its sole director must sign this Proxy Form. Otherwise, a director must sign jointly with either another director or a company secretary in accordance with section 127 of Act. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
