NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY

Red Mountain Mining Ltd provides its Notice of Annual General Meeting ( Notice ) and proxy form for the Annual General Meeting to be held at 1.00pm on 17 November 2014 and confirms the Notice has today been despatched to Shareholders.

WITHDRAWAL OF RESOLUTION 7

As a result of the withdrawal of the Company’s proposed pro-rata, renounceable Rights Issue on the basis of two new shares for every nine shares held by shareholders on the record date, at an issue price of $0.008 (0.8 cent) per new share, together with a free attaching option on a one for two basis, exercisable at $0.012 on or before 31 March 2016 ( Rights Issue ), the Company advises that Resolution 7 in the Notice will be withdrawn and will not be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 7 contemplated the issue of up to 56,556,888 options for nil cash consideration (exercisable at $0.012 each on or before 31 March 2016) on or around 16 October 2014 to Patersons Securities Limited (or its nominees) in consideration for the proposed underwriting. As the underwriting was terminated, these options will not be issued prior to the Annual General Meeting and ratification is therefore not required.

CHANGE TO CAPITAL STRUCTURE – RESOLUTION 10

NOTES:

  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. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company, but must be a natural person (not a corporation). A proxy may also be appointed by reference to an office held by the proxy (eg “the Company Secretary”).

  3. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder's voting rights. If no such proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes.

  4. A Proxy Form is enclosed. A separate form must be used for each proxy. An additional form can be obtained by writing to the Company at Unit 1, 2 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005 or by fax to (61 8) 9486 8616. Alternatively, you may photocopy the enclosed form.

The authority may be sent to the Company and/or registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

  7. The Chairman of the Meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in FAVOUR of Resolutions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 but AGAINST Resolution 11. In relation to Resolutions 1, 8, 9 and 11, if the Chair of the meeting is appointed as your proxy, and you have not directed the Chair how to vote, then by completing and returning the Proxy Form the Chair is expressly authorised to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. Any undirected proxies held by a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company or any of their closely related parties (who are not the Chair of the Meeting) will not be voted on Resolutions 1, 8, 9 and 11. Key Management Personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s Key Management Personnel for the financial year 30 June 2014. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Red Mountain Mining Ltd ( Company ).

The Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully. The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The first item of the Notice of Annual General Meeting deals with the Annual Financial Statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 together with the Directors’ Declaration and Report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor’s Report on those Financial Statements being laid before the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered. The reports are available on the Company’s website at www.redmm.com.au.

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the business, operations and management of the Company.

The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions relevant to:

  • the conduct of the audit;

  • the preparation and content of the independent Audit Report;

  • the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and

  • the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – NON BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 Background

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 contains a remuneration report which sets out the policy for and details of the remuneration of the Directors and executives of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2014 ( Remuneration Report ).

10

Pursuant to Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must submit to its Shareholders for consideration and adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for the Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if the remuneration report for a company receives a “no” vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings of the company, a resolution must be put to the Shareholders of that company at the second annual general meeting as to whether a further general meeting should be held within 90 days at which all directors (other than the managing director) in office at the date of the second approved remuneration report must stand for re-election (known as a ‘spill resolution’).

At the 2013 Annual General Meeting, 64% of the votes cast were voted against the adoption of the 2013 Remuneration Report. Therefore, a vote against the adoption of the 2014 Remuneration Report of 25% or more of the votes cast at the 2014 Annual General Meeting will trigger a requirement for the spill resolution, in the form of Resolution 11 in this Notice of Meeting, to be put to the 2014 Annual General Meeting. If Resolution 11 receives a simple majority of votes cast, the Company will be required to hold a further general meeting within 90 days at which all directors (other than the Managing Director) in office at the date of the second approved remuneration report must stand for re-election (known as a ‘spill meeting’). Further detail in relation to the ‘spill resolution’ and ‘spill meeting’ is included in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 11.

If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for this item of business.

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of that member (except the Chair of the Meeting) as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or the Chair becomes your proxy by default), and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote on this Resolution 1, then by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to vote in accordance with his or her intentions, even though Resolution 1 is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies FOR Resolution 1 .

11

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR MICHAEL WOLLEY AS A DIRECTOR

3.1 Background

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and Rule 7.3(b) of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting of the Company an election of Directors must take place. Listing Rule 14.4 and Rule 7.3(a) of the Constitution prevent a Director from holding office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Mr Wolley was appointed to the Board on 4 April 2011 and that appointment was confirmed by Shareholder’s at the Company’s annual general meeting on 22 November 2011.

Accordingly, Mr Michael Wolley retires by rotation in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and Rule 7.3(a) of the Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

3.2 Biography

3.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Wolley) unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 3,305,652 SHARES

4.1 Background

On 9 April 2014, the Company issued 1,695,652 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.014 each and on 17 September 2014 the Company issued a further 1,610,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.01 each under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, to consultant Crystal Sun Consulting Limited as part consideration for technical services provided in connection with the Batangas Gold Project Scoping Study.

Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company may issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of securities issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where Shareholders subsequently approve a previous issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose of such ratification is to restore the Company’s power to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval within the 15% limit.

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the Shares set out above under Listing Rule 7.4 to provide flexibility for the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 74,960,000 SHARES ISSUED UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

5.1 Background

On 17 September 2014 the Company issued 74,960,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.008 each to sophisticated and professional investors, who are clients of Patersons, and not related parties of the Company, to raise approximately $599,680 ( Placement ).

The Placement was undertaken under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A as follows:

  • (a) 6,034,766 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 68,925,234 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 is provided in section 4.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables certain eligible entities to seek shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution. This additional 10% placement capacity is in addition to a company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company obtained approval from Shareholders to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 18 November 2013.

A note to Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made under Listing Rule 7.1A can be ratified by shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4. If shareholders ratify the issue of securities, the issue will not reduce the company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

14

Accordingly, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of:

  • (a) 6,034,766 Shares issued under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 4); and

  • (b) 68,925,234 Shares issued under the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 5),

  • under Listing Rule 7.4 to provide flexibility for the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (provided Resolution 10 is passed) in the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5:

  • (a) 74,960,000 Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.008 per Share, where:

  • (i) 6,034,766 Shares were issued under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 4); and

  • (ii) 68,925,234 Shares were issued under the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 5);

  • (b) the Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as, and ranking equally with, the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) the Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, who are clients of Patersons, who are not related parties of the Company;

  • (d) the funds raised from the issue of Shares the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 (together with existing cash and funds to be raised from the Rights Issue) have been, and (to the extent they have not already been exhausted) will be, used to drilling of priority targets and completion of the definitive feasibility study and final permitting at the Company’s Batangas Gold Project in the Philippines, to meet costs of the Rights Issue and Placement and for general working capital purposes; and

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement for each of Resolutions 4 and 5 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

5.3 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

The underwriting does not extend to any additional Shares issued including as a result of the exercise of any options on issue.). It is expected that up to 56,556,888 Options will be issued on or around 16 October 2014 (being the currently proposed date of issue of Shares and Options under the Rights Issue) under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4 is provided in section 4.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

7.3 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

8. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTOR: JON DUGDALE

8.1 Background

The Company’s Board has resolved, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue Performance Rights to the Company’s Managing Director Mr Jon Dugdale. The number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Dugdale will be calculated in accordance with the formula set out in section 8.4 of this Explanatory Statement. Of these Performance Rights, one third will be Class D Performance Rights, one third will be Class E Performance Rights and one third will be Class F Performance Rights.

The issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Dugdale is designed to encourage him to have greater involvement in achieving the Company’s objectives and to provide a long term incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership.

Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the Performance Rights are a cost effective and efficient way to incentivise, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as increased remuneration and the payment of cash bonuses.

Mr Dugdale’s Performance Rights will be issued pursuant to the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan as approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting on 18 November 2013 and reproduced in Schedule 2.

8.2 Listing Rule Requirements

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to issue Performance Rights to Mr Dugdale, on the terms detailed in section

18

8.4.

If approval is given by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14, separate Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11 (which provides a general restriction against issuing securities to Directors without shareholder approval).

8.3 Corporations Act requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires shareholder approval where a public company seeks to give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (unless an exception applies). Directors are considered to be related parties within the meaning of the Corporations Act. The Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Dugdale will constitute a financial benefit for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

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 an exception to the provision; or

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

One of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E applies where the financial benefit constitutes part of the related party’s “reasonable remuneration”.

It is the view of the Board (other than Mr Dugdale) that the proposed issue of Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 8 constitutes part of Mr Dugdale’s “reasonable remuneration”. Accordingly, the Board (other than Mr Dugdale) have determined not to seek shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Dugdale. However, Shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

8.4 Key Terms of the Performance Rights

The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.

A summary of the key terms of the Performance Rights is provided below.

Number of Performance Rights

The number of Class D, E and F Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Dugdale will be calculated by dividing 70% of Mr Dugdale’s Annual Total Fixed Remuneration for the 2014/15 financial year (“ TFR ”) (TFR equals $283,400, which comprises base salary of $260,000 and superannuation of $23,400) by the 20 trading day VWAP of Shares prior to the date of issue of the Performance Rights and on the terms detailed below.

19

Entitlement

Each Performance Right will entitle Mr Dugdale or his nominee(s) to subscribe for one Share upon vesting.

Issue date

The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Dugdale or his nominee(s) on or around 1 December 2014.

Exercise price

No consideration is payable at the time the Performance Rights vest in order for each Performance Right to be converted into a Share.

Vesting Conditions

The Performance Rights will vest subject to meeting the following vesting criteria prior to 5.00pm WST on 1 December 2017:

  • (a) The Class D Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) sufficient hedging agreements are in place to support the financing of the Batangas Project and sufficient funding for the Batangas Project has been secured (“ Vesting Hurdle 1 ”); and

  • (ii) if Mr Dugdale is still employed by the Company three months after the date which Vesting Hurdle 1 is met.

  • (b) 50% of the Class E Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) production at the Batangas Project has commenced and first ore is produced (“ Vesting Hurdle 2A ”); and

  • (ii) if Mr Dugdale is still employed by the Company three months after the date which Vesting Hurdle 2A is met.

  • (c) 50% of the Class E Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) production at the Batangas Project has commenced and receipt of first cash sales has occurred (“ Vesting Hurdle 2B ”); and

  • (ii) if Mr Dugdale is still employed by the Company three months after the date which Vesting Hurdle 2B is met.

  • (d) The Class F Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) actual production compared to the approved budget and operating costs compared to the approved budget are in line with expectations for the financial year ending 30 June 2017; and

  • (ii) if Mr Dugdale is still employed by the Company on 31 July 2017.

20

Performance Rights that do not vest in accordance with their terms and conditions will automatically lapse.

8.5 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

For the purposes of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided to Shareholders in respect of the Performance Rights:

  • (a) The Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Jon Dugdale or his nominee(s). Mr Dugdale is a Director of the Company and is, as such, a related party of the Company.

  • (b) The Company has been granted a waiver (Waiver) by ASX from ASX Listing Rule 10.15.2 to the extent that it need not state in this Notice the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Dugdale. The Waiver was granted on the basis that such number is presently unascertainable as it is based on a formula including a future security price, and the degree of dilution is not expected to be excessive. In accordance with the Waiver, the Company states the maximum number of Performance Rights that may be acquired will be calculated by dividing 70% of Mr Dugdale’s Annual Total Fixed Remuneration for the 2014/15 financial year (“ TFR ”) (TFR equals $283,400, which comprises base salary of $260,000 and superannuation of $23,400) by the 20 trading day VWAP of Shares prior to the date of issue of the Performance Rights;

  • (c) No cash consideration is payable by Mr Dugdale at the time of issue of the Performance Rights or upon the allocation of Shares to which he may become entitled on the vesting of some or all of the Performance Rights.

  • (d) Since the last time Shareholders approved the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan at the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting on 18 November 2013, 12,000,000 Performance Rights have been issued to Mr Dugdale. This issue was approved at the Company’s General Meeting on 17 February 2014. No acquisition price was payable for these Performance Rights issued to Mr Dugdale. For further information regarding these Performance Rights (including performance and vesting conditions) please refer to the Company’s Notice of General Meeting released to ASX on 16 January 2014. No other securities have been issued to any person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan since its last approval.

  • (e) All the executive Directors and employees of the Company (or a related body corporate) are entitled to participate under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan.

21

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 8 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

  • (g) The Company will not be providing a loan in connection with Mr Dugdale’s acquisition of the Performance Rights.

  • (h) The Performance Rights will be issued no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

8.6 Directors’ recommendation for Resolution 8

Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley (who do not have any interest in Resolution 8) recommend that Shareholders approve the issue of Performance Rights under Resolution 8 to Mr Dugdale (or his nominee(s)) as they consider the issue of the Performance Rights:

  • (a) will incentivise Mr Dugdale for the reasons and factors set out above;

  • (b) is a fair and reasonable alternative to additional cash payment of Directors’ fees;

  • (c) is in consideration and recognition of the services provided and to be provided by Mr Dugdale to the Company and the number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued is fair and reasonable and reflective of the contribution he has or will make to the Company; and

  • (d) is necessary to reflect remuneration benefits to executive directors by companies operating in the Company’s industry.

Mr Dugdale declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 8 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of Mr Dugdale, the current market price of Shares and the current market practices when determining the number of Performance Rights and vesting conditions.

The Board is 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 8.

9. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF POTENTIAL TERMINATION BENEFITS TO HOLDERS OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

9.1 Background

The Directors considered that it was desirable to establish an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which employees and executive Directors may be offered the opportunity to be issued Performance Rights in order to increase

22

the range of potential incentives available to them and to strengthen links between the Company’s objectives, its employees and directors.

Accordingly, the Directors adopted the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan, annexed as Schedule 2. The Plan was approved by Shareholders for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 18 November 2013.

The Company has issued 12,000,000 Performance Rights under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan to the Company’s Managing Director Mr Jon Dugdale on 5 March 2014. Shareholder approval was obtained and sought at the Company’s General Meeting held on 17 February 2014 for the issue of these Performance Rights to Mr Dugdale. The Company proposes to issue further Performance Rights to Mr Dugdale pursuant to Resolution 8 of this Notice of Meeting.

The Company acknowledges that the non-executive Directors of the Company, Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley, are not eligible to participate in the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan. However, the Board is of the view that at this stage of the Company’s development it is far better for non-executive Directors of the Company to be compensated by way of securities in the Company, rather than by way of cash. Accordingly, the Company issued the following Performance Rights to Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley on 5 March 2014.

  • (a) Mr Warburton – 6,000,000 Performance Rights

  • (b) Mr Wolley – 4,000,000 Performance Rights

Shareholder approval was obtained at the Company’s General Meeting held on 17 February 2014 for the issue of these Performance Rights to Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley. Although these Performance Rights were not issued under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan (as Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley are not eligible to participate under that plan), the Performance Rights were issued on the same terms and conditions contained in the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan. For further information regarding these Performance Rights (including performance and vesting conditions) please refer to the Company’s Notice of General Meeting released to ASX on 16 January 2014.

The purpose of Resolution 9 is for Shareholders to approve the potential provision of termination benefits to participants under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan, as well as to Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley in respect of the Performance Rights listed above.

The Company is seeking this approval to provide the Company with the flexibility to continue to remunerate employees fairly and responsibly in the future, and in a manner that appropriately drives long term performance for Shareholders.

23

9.2 Regulatory Requirements

The Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate.

Under Section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.

The term “benefit” has a wide meaning and may include benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the terms of Performance Rights which the Company has issued or may in the future issue (which may or may not be issued under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan).

If Shareholder approval is given under this Resolution 9 the Company will still be required to comply with Listing Rules 10.18 and 10.19, which place restrictions on the circumstances in which termination benefits can be paid and a cap on the value of termination benefits that can be paid to officers of the Company.

9.3 Details of the Termination Benefit

Under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan (and the terms of the Performance Rights issued to Mr Warburton and Mr Wolley), the Board possesses the discretion to determine, where a participant ceases employment before the vesting or exercise of their Performance Rights as a result of any of the circumstances set out below, that some or all of the Performance Rights vest rather than lapse:

  • (a) death or total or permanent disability;

  • (b) retirement or redundancy;

  • (c) severe financial hardship;

  • (d) death of an immediate family member of the participant;

  • (e) substantial change in circumstances, out of the control of the participant which affects the ability of the participant to perform his or her role with the Company or an associated body corporate (as that term is defined in the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan); or

  • (f) terminal illness of the participant or an immediate family member.

The exercise of this discretion may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of Section 200B of the Corporations Act.

The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the

24

Board’s discretions in respect of:

  • (a) any current or future participant in the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan who holds:

  • (i) a managerial or executive office in the Company or any associated body corporate (as that term is defined in the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and

  • (ii) Performance Rights under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan at the time of their leaving; and

  • (b) Mr Wolley and Mr Warburton in relation to the Performance Rights held by them as detailed in section 9.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of these benefits may be disregarded when applying Section 200F(2)(b) or Section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

The Board’s current intention is to only exercise this discretion:

  • (a) where the employee leaves employment without fault on their part; and

  • (b) so as only to preserve that number of unvested Performance Rights as are pro-rated to the date of leaving.

9.4 Value of the Termination Benefits

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Red Mountain Performance Rights Plan and to Mr Wolley and Mr Warburton in respect of the Performance Rights held by them cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Performance Rights that vest.

The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:

  • (a) the participant’s length of service and the portion of vesting periods at the time they cease employment;

  • (b) the status of the performance hurdles attaching to the Performance Rights at the time the participant’s employment ceases; and

  • (c) the number of unvested Performance Rights that the participant holds at the time they cease employment.

25

9.5 Board Recommendation

Each of the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 and accordingly do not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.

10. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

10.1 Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if: (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and (b) the entity is not included in the S&PASX 300 Index, as at the time of the Annual General Meeting. The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as at the date of this Notice and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting.

The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company is putting Resolution 10 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

10.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, Shares and Options.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 763,517,994 Shares on issue. The Company proposes to issue a further 169,670,665 Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue described in section 7.1 of this Explanatory Statement. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve Resolution 10 (and also pass Resolutions 3, 4 and 5) and the 169,670,665 Shares are issued under the Rights Issue, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 93,318,865 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. Shareholders

26

should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 10 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • (a) Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

27

Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted (in the case of quoted Options, only if the quoted Options are exercised). There is also a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date of the Equity Securities, or the Equity Securities are issued as part consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities. Variable “A”. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting.

The table shows:

  • (i) examples of where variable “A” is calculated as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and by 100%;

  • (ii) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 22 September 2014

28

( current market price ), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and

  • (iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

Note: this table assumes:

  • (i) Current Variable A is 933,188,659, being the number of ordinary securities on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting plus the 169,670,665 Shares proposed to be issued prior to the Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Rights Issue.

  • (ii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (iii) The Company has not issued any other Equity Securities using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the Annual General Meeting, other than the 68,925,234 Shares issued under the Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A which are the subject of Resolution 5 and which are assumed to have been ratified at the Annual General Meeting for the purposes of this table.

  • (iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

29

  • (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (vi) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vii) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (viii) The issue price is $0.007, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 22 September 2014.

  • (c) Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( Additional Placement Period ).

The Company will only issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity during the Additional Placement Period.

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds for any of acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated with such acquisition), expenditure on the Company's current Philippines projects or new assets or investments or general working capital purposes; or

  • (ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets or investments. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

30

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities, including consideration of the following matters:

  • (i) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by means of an entitlements offer, or a placement and an entitlements offer;

  • (ii) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issue of Equity Securities;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but will not include related parties (or their associates) of the Company.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has not determined its allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The Company has not approached, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holders or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in an offer under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 10 is included in the Notice preceding this Explanatory Statement.

In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

10.4 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A.6

The Company previously received Shareholder approval for the Additional 10% Placement Capacity at its Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2013.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided to Shareholders.

31

  • (a) The total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months before the 2014 Annual General Meeting (including the proposed issues of Options the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7 and the Shares and Options proposed to be issued pursuant to the Rights Issue, which issues are expected to occur prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting) is 455,746,643 Shares, 178,872,221 Options and 28,000,000 Performance Rights, representing approximately 86.9% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

  • (b) The table attached as Schedule 1 shows details of all issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the 12 months before the 2014 Annual General Meeting (including the proposed issues of Options the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7 and the Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to the Rights Issue, which issues are expected to occur prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting).

10.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

11. RESOLUTION 11 – SPILL RESOLUTION (IF REQUIRED)

As set out above in the explanatory statement relating to Resolution 1, the Directors’ Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and executives of the Company. 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 2014 Annual Report. Voting on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only and will not bind the Directors or the Company.

At the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting, more than 25% of the votes cast were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

If the outcome of Resolution 1 in this Notice of Meeting is such that at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company is required to put this Resolution 11 to the 2014 Annual General Meeting, to consider calling an extraordinary general meeting.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (the “spill meeting”) within 90 days of the 2014 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2014 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting. Following the spill meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

If Resolution 11 is passed, Shareholders should note that each of the Directors who cease to hold office at the spill meeting intend to stand for re-election at

32

the spill meeting.

Shareholders may vote against the adoption of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1) but may still vote against a spill meeting being held (Resolution 11). This is a matter for Shareholders’ discretion.

As a public company is required to have a minimum of three directors, the Corporations Act includes a mechanism to ensure that the Company will have at least three directors (including the Managing Director) after the spill meeting. If at the spill meeting, three directors are not appointed by ordinary resolution, the persons taken to be appointed are those with the highest percentage of votes favouring their appointment cast at the spill meeting on the resolution for their appointment (even if less than half the votes cast on the resolution were in favour of their appointment).

If a Director is reappointed at the spill meeting, his term of office will continue to run as though the spill meeting did not occur.

Shareholders should be aware that if a spill meeting is required to be convened, this will result in the Company incurring material additional expense in conducting a meeting as well as potential disruption to the running of the Company as a result of management distraction, the logistics involved in organising the spill meeting and the diversion of resources. This course of action should therefore be considered extremely carefully by Shareholders.

Further, Shareholders should note that, although voting exclusions apply in respect of the spill resolution (Resolution 11 – refer to the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement):

  • (a) there are no voting exclusions applicable to the resolutions appointing Directors at the subsequent spill meeting. Accordingly there is no barrier for the existing major Shareholders exercising their voting rights to support the reappointment of the existing Directors at the subsequent spill meeting; and

  • (b) if Resolution 11 is passed, each of the outgoing Directors intends to stand for re-election at the spill meeting and to vote their own Shares in support of their re-appointment.

If you want your Directors to continue as Directors, you should vote AGAINST the spill resolution (Resolution 11). The Chair intends to vote available undirected proxies AGAINST the spill resolution (Resolution 11).
