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

1. BACKGROUND

The Company is undertaking an equity raising to investors in Australia and North America in order to raise up to AUS$11,875,000 ( Offer ). The Offer will be undertaken by the Company’s corporate manager, Paradigm Capital Inc. ( Paradigm ).

The net proceeds from the Offer will be primarily directed towards exploration and development at the Company’s Yukon Base Metal Project in the Yukon and for general working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company proposes to issue a total of 47,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.25 per Share to take place in two separate tranches.

For the purposes of this General Meeting, the Company will be seeking Shareholder approval for the following:

  • (a) ratification for the previous issue of 21,000,000 Shares under the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity ( Tranche 1 Shares ) which took place on or about 10 March 2011, being the subject of Resolution 1 (and Resolution 2 (if appropriate); and

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

5

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.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.3 Approval of Issue of Tranche 1 Shares (if appropriate)

If due to timing (or for any other reason) the Company is unable to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares under Listing Rule 7.4 in accordance with Section 2.2 above, the Company wishes to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 pursuant to Resolution 2 in order to avoid using the Company’s 15% placement capacity ( Tranche 1 Share Placement ).
