Directors’ Recommendation

All the Directors (excluding Dr James Macdonald) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE‐ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR (NEW APPOINTMENT)

Background

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the re‐election of Mr Gordon Barnes as a Director.

Clause 11.12 of the Constitution requires that any Director appointed by the Directors, either as an addition to the existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy, will hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re‐election.

Mr Barnes joined Geoinformatics Exploration Australia Pty Ltd, the original parent of the Company, in 2004 to manage the exploration of the Clancy assets. He has 22 years of practical experience, ranging from active field based projects through to multi‐commodity project generation initiatives in Australia, Asia, North and South America. He worked as an Exploration Geologist with Freeport‐McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc at the Karonie gold project in the Eastern Goldfields. Following Freeport's merger with the Normandy‐Poseidon Group in 1989, Mr Barnes became a Project then Senior Geologist with Normandy Exploration, working on projects in the Murchison (Au), Southern Cross (Au, Ni), Eastern Goldfields (Au), Pilbara (Au, Cu) and Kimberley (Ni, Co, Zn) regions of Western Australia.

Mr Barnes graduated from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geology in 1987 and completed an MSc in Ore Deposit Geology at the University of Western Australia in 1996. He is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Society of Economic Geologists.

Directors’ Recommendation

All the Directors (excluding Mr Barnes) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RE‐ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR (NEW APPOINTMENT)

Background

Resolution 4 seeks approval for the re‐election of Dr Michael Etheridge as a Director.

Clause 11.12 of the Constitution requires that any Director appointed by the Directors, either as an addition to the existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy, will hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re‐election.

Dr Etheridge retires by rotation in accordance with this requirement, is eligible for re‐election and puts himself forward for re‐election at this Annual General Meeting.

Mike Etheridge is a geologist who has had a varied career in universities, a government research organisation and in industry. He switched from public sector research to industry in 1989, and co‐founded the geoscience consultancy business Etheridge Henley Williams (EHW). EHW grew to over 30 staff on three continents before it merged with the SRK Consulting group to become SRK’s Australasian business in 1997. Mike left SRK Australasia, where he was chairman, in 2004 to pursue a career as a professional company director in the resources and related R&D sectors.

He is currently non‐executive chairman of ABM Resources Ltd (ASX: ABU) and Zeus Uranium Ltd (a pre‐IPO venture), and a non‐executive director of DET CRC Ltd, a collaborative research organisation involving the mining industry, universities and government research bodies. He was previously a director of Lihir Gold Ltd, prior to its merger with Newcrest Ltd, Consolidated Minerals Ltd, prior to its takeover by Palmary Plc, and Ariana Resources Plc (AIM).

Mike’s relationship with Clancy stretches back to 2004 when he was founding non‐executive chairman of Geoinformatics Exploration Inc, from which Clancy Exploration was spun out in 2007.

Mike is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, the Australian Institute of Company Directors, the Society of Economic Geologists and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.

Directors’ Recommendation

All the Directors (excluding Dr Etheridge) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – PAYMENT OF A TERMINATION BENEFIT TO MR MARK STEWART.

Background

Resolution 5 seeks approval for payment of the balance of a contractual termination benefit to a former director, Mr Mark Stewart.

Listing Rule 10.19 requires that the maximum termination payment payable to a director upon retirement is no greater than 5% of net equity interests as noted in the Company’s most recently lodged financials. The Company’s financials for the year ended 31 December 2010 showed net equity interests of $1,958,811. Therefore the maximum amount payable was $97,940. This amount has been paid to Mr Stewart.

Pursuant to the employment contract between Mark Stewart and the Company, Mr Stewart was entitled to a termination payment equivalent to $110,209 as payment in lieu of six months notice as a result of the Company’s decision to reduce operating expenses and relocate the Company’s offices to Orange nearer the Company’s exploration activities in New South Wales. The company seeks approval to pay the shortfall of $12,269 to Mr Stewart.

5

Shareholder approval is not being sought for the payment of this sum under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act because the contractual entitlement was entered into when Mr Stewart was an executive director of the Company and was and is considered by the Board to form part of his reasonable remuneration as a payment in lieu of a contractual notice period.

If shareholders do not approve this payment Mr Stewart may be entitled to commence legal proceedings to seek recovery of the outstanding amount notwithstanding that the Company has been obliged to seek Shareholder approval for this payment under Listing Rule 10.19.

Directors’ Recommendation

All the Directors excluding those who are entitled to termination benefits (Gordon Barnes, under his contract of employment as managing director) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

7. RESOLUTION 6 ‐ APPROVE ISSUE OF 10,000,000 OPTIONS TO JOINT UNDERWRITERS

Background

On 3 May 2011, the Company announced that it will be conducting a fully underwritten nonrenounceable rights issue to raise approximately $4.3 million by the issue of 54,756,724 new Shares at 8 cents each on the basis of one new share for every two existing shares held on a record date of 12 May 2011, and 54,756,724 new options exercisable at 15 cents each by 31 July 2013. The joint underwriters to the rights issue, Patersons Securities Limited and Soaring Securities Pty Limited, have agreed to underwrite on a 50/50 basis in return for fees comprising a management fee of 4.5% of the amount raised under the rights issue, an underwriting fee of 2.5% of the amount underwritten, and the grant of 10,000,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of 15 cents by 31 July 2013.

No funds will be raised by the issue of the options. The intended use of the funds raised if the options are exercised is to fund further development of the Company’s Lachlan Fold Belt exploration programs and for working capital.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides generally that a company may not issue shares or options to subscribe for shares equal to more than 15% of the company’s issued share capital in any 12 months without obtaining shareholder approval. Resolution 6 seeks this approval.

The Options will be allotted and issued not later than 3 months after the date of the meeting.

The Options will be issued on terms and conditions set out in Annexure A. The Company will apply to ASX for Official Quotation of the Options.

The Board believes that the proposed issue is beneficial for the Company and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution. It will allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.

8. RESOLUTION 7 ‐ APPROVE ISSUE OF SHARES TO EMPLOYEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS UNDER NEW EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME

The Company proposes to adopt a new Employee Share and Loan Plan pursuant to which the Board may make offers of Shares to eligible employees and consultants of the Company in order to provide an incentive to deliver growth ‐ ’ and value for the benefit of all Shareholders. If approved, this will co exist with the Company s existing Employee Share Option Plan.

Shareholder approval is sought for the offer and subsequent issue of Shares for the purposes of Exception 9(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15A. If approval is given, Shares issued under the Plan will be exempt from counting towards the 15% of the issued capital of the Company which may be issued in any 12 month period without requiring Shareholder approval in advance under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11. Shareholder approval will therefore allow the Company to retain maximum flexibility in relation to use of that 15% capacity.

The Plan differs from the current Employee Share Option Plan because it only relates to Shares, not options and therefore allows the Board maximum flexibility to make offers of Shares on the terms of the Plan as appropriate at the time.

The Plan satisfies certain ASIC class order conditions, relieving the Company from the obligation to issue a prospectus for the offer of Shares to Eligible Employees, other than those who are consultants, under the Plan. Offers of Shares under the Plan which are made to Eligible Employees who are consultants will constitute excluded offers under section 708(12) of the Corporations Act which exempts the Company from the obligation to issue a prospectus. However, secondary trading provisions of the Corporations Act require the Company to issue a cleansing notice under section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act within 5 business days of issue of the Shares to any Eligible Employees who are consultants or contractors and not employed by the Company.

6

Summary of the new employee incentive scheme (“Plan”)

The Plan is designed to provide permanent full‐time and part‐time employees, contractors and sub‐contractors determined by the Board to be included within the definition of eligible employee for the purposes of the Plan, executive and non‐executive Directors of the Company or an associated body corporate (“ Eligible Employees ”) with an ownership interest in the Company and to provide additional incentives to increase profitability and returns to Shareholders. The Plan also offers financial support for employees of the Company to acquire the Shares pursuant to the Plan, at the discretion of the Directors.

The Directors may invite Eligible Employees to acquire Shares under the Plan at their discretion. The Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally with other issued Shares. Subject to the restriction on the transfer of Plan Shares outlined below, Plan Shares will be the subject of applications for quotation on ASX as soon as practicable after the Plan Shares are allotted.

The issue price of each Plan Share will be determined by the Directors at or before the time of the invitation to acquire Shares under the Plan. The issue price of the Plan Shares is payable in full by the Eligible Employee on the date of issue of the Plan Shares.

Where the Shares are issued for cash consideration, the Directors may, at their absolute discretion, determine that the whole or part of the issue price will be advanced by the Company to the Eligible Employee, who must apply the advance in payment of the issue price.

A participant in the Plan must not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber a Share issued under the Plan until the later of the following (to the extent applicable):

  • (i) the repayment in full of any loan advanced by the Company to the participant contemporaneously with the issue of Shares under the Plan;

  • (ii) the expiry of any service continuity period specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares; and

(iii) the satisfaction of any performance criteria specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares.

The Directors may impose different time periods and performance criteria in relation to different persons, and the Directors will have the absolute discretion to determine whether any such time period or criteria has been satisfied in relation to any Share issued under the Plan, or to waive that period or criteria in relation to that Share.

If an Eligible Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee of the Company during the period of restriction, or the ‐ above criteria are not satisfied by the Eligible Employee, the Company may buy back the Plan Shares the subject of the restriction under Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act at a price equal to:

(a) where the Shares were issued for no cash consideration ‐ the lesser of $0.0001 each or the market price of the Shares; or – ’ (b) where the Shares were issued for cash consideration at the Company s discretion, either the issue price or the market price of the Shares.

The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which invitations may be made under the Plan by the Directors on any date, when added to the number of Shares already issued under the Plan and the Company’s existing employee share option plan during the 5 years preceding the date on which invitations are made, must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue in the capital of the Company. In other words there is no increase in the number of securities which may be issued by the Company under this Plan since the same cap applies to the Company’s existing employee share option plan

In the event of:

(a) an announcement of a takeover bid being made in relation to the Company;

(b) the receipt by the Company of a bidder’s statement in respect of the Company; or

(c) the despatch of a notice of meeting to consider a scheme of arrangement between the Company and its creditors or members,

the Directors have the discretion to deem any service continuity or performance conditions to be satisfied in relation to any participating Eligible Employees. This power is only to be exercised subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The Plan is administered by the Directors of the Company, who have the power to:

(a) determine procedures for the administration of the Plan;

7

(b) amend or waive the terms and conditions of the Plan; and

(c) suspend or terminate the Plan.

Summary of the loan scheme forming part of the Plan

Where the Directors determine that the whole or part of the issue price of Plan Shares will be advanced by the Company to the Eligible Employee, that advance must be applied in payment to the Company of the issue price.

During the term of any such loan, dividends paid in respect of the Plan Shares in relation to which the Company made the loan will be retained by the Company as interest paid by the borrower on the loan.

The borrower must repay the loan to the Company on the earlier of 5 years from the date of allotment of the Plan Shares to which the loan relates, or the date the borrower ceases to be employed by the Company. In such an event, the borrower is required to make available to the Company their Plan Shares to settle the loan. This will result in the Company meeting the loss on the loan so that the loan is effectively linked to the value of the Shares.

Additional Information provided in compliance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 and Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15A in relation to the Plan

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 disclosures:

No Shares have been issued under the Plan to date.

Listing Rule 10.15A disclosures

The maximum number of Shares that may be acquired by the Directors under the Plan will be 5 million.

The number of Shares that may be acquired by the Directors under the Plan will be governed by the following formula. The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which invitations may be made to all Eligible Employees (which includes non executive and executive Directors) under the Plan on any date, when added to the number of Shares already issued under the Plan and the Company’s existing employee share option plan during the 5 years preceding the date on which invitations are made, must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue in the capital of the Company.

The issue price of each Plan Share will be determined by the Directors at or before the time of the invitation to acquire Shares under the Plan. The issue price will be no less than the 5 day volume weighted average price for the Shares preceding the date of the invitation to acquire Shares under the Plan.

No Directors have received any Shares under the Plan to date.

The names of all the Directors who are entitled to participate in the Plan are James Macdonald, Gordon Barnes, Mark Lester and Michael Etheridge.

The loan terms are as follows: Any loan advanced by the Company to an Eligible Employee for the purposes of the Plan must be applied in payment to the Company of the issue price of the Shares. During the term of any such loan, dividends paid in respect of the Plan Shares in relation to which the Company made the loan will be retained by the Company as interest paid by the borrower on the loan. The borrower must repay the loan to the Company on the earlier of 5 years from the date of allotment of the Plan Shares to which the loan relates, or the date the borrower ceases to be employed by the Company. In such an event, the borrower is required to make available to the Company their Plan Shares to settle the loan.

Details of any Shares issued under the Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which Shares have been issued under the Plan, with the information that approval for the issue of the Shares was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional diectors who become entitled to participate in the Plan after Resolution 7 is approved, if it is approved, and who are not named in this Supplementary Notice of Annual General Meeting, will not participate until approval is obtained from Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

The Shares will be issued by the Company no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting.

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary ‐ that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the original power of attorney, or certified copy thereof, must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
