ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE
You will be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting if you are registered as a Shareholder of the Company as at 8.30 a.m. (AWST) on 26 November 2013. This is because, in accordance with the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board of Directors has determined that the Shares on issue at that time will be taken, for the purposes of the Annual General Meeting, to be held by the persons who held them at that time. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.
HOW TO VOTE
Voting in person
Shareholders who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company’s register of members and attendances recorded.
Corporate representatives
A body corporate, which is a Shareholder or which has been appointed as a proxy, may appoint an individual to act as its corporate representative at the meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The appropriate appointment document must be produced prior to admission. A form of the certificate can be obtained from the Company’s registered office.
Voting by proxy
A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the meeting may appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and may be an individual or body corporate. If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy it must appoint a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the meeting (see above).
A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on their behalf and may specify the proportion or a number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

Chairman as proxy
If you appoint a proxy, the Company encourages you to consider directing them how to vote by marking the appropriate box on each of the proposed Resolutions.
If a Shareholder entitled to vote on a Resolution appoints the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy (or the Chairman becomes their proxy by default) and the Shareholder does not direct the Chairman how to vote on the Resolution:-
-
The Chairman intends to vote in favour of the Resolution, as proxy for that Shareholder on a poll; and
-
For Resolution 1, the Shareholder will have given the Chairman express authority to vote as the Shareholder’s proxy on the relevant resolution even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the
4
remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company and even though the Chairman is a member of the KMP, unless the Shareholder expressly indicates to the contrary in the proxy appointment.
If you do not want to put the Chairman of the meeting in the position to cast your votes in favour of any of the proposed Resolutions, you should complete the appropriate box on the proxy form, directing your proxy to vote against, or to abstain from voting, on the resolution.
Other members of KMP as proxy
If a Shareholder appoints a Director (other than the Chairman of the meeting) or another member of KMP (or a Closely Related Party of any such person) as their proxy and does not direct the proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking the ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box opposite the relevant Resolution on the proxy appointment, the proxy will not be able to exercise the Shareholder’s proxy and vote on their behalf on the relevant Resolution.
QUESTIONS FROM SHAREHOLDERS
The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders at the meeting to ask questions about and make comments on the management of the Company and on the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report (Reports), as well as each of the Resolutions to be considered at the meeting.

Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolution in the accompanying Notice.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.
1. Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the annual financial report, the directors’ report and the auditor’s report for the last financial year to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The financial statements and reports are contained in the Company’s Annual Report. Shareholders who have elected to receive the Annual Report will have been provided with a copy. The Annual Report is also available on ASX’s website.
While no resolution is required in relation to this item, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the financial statements and reports.
2. Resolution 1 – Approval of Remuneration Report
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the Remuneration Report will be put at the Annual General Meeting. However, section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the Annual Report.
If at least 25% of the votes on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of the Directors (“ Spill Resolution ”).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (“ Spill Meeting ”) within 90 days of the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company’s 2014 Directors’ report was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election is approved will be the directors of the Company.
In accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, the Chairman will provide a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
3. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Re-election of Directors
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.
In determining the number and identity of the Directors to retire by rotation, the Managing Director and any Director seeking election after appointment by the Board to fill a casual vacancy are not taken into account.
6
The following Directors retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers themselves for re-election.
Resolution 2 – Mr Ed Turner
Mr Turner has accumulated 25 years of experience as a geologist in Australia and overseas, with primary focus on gold, nickel, uranium and base metals exploration and underground gold mining. He has extensive experience in project review, due diligence and acquisition.
More specifically, Mr Turner has established exploration teams and managed exploration programmes in Romania, Ukraine, Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo for companies including RSG Global (now Coffey Mining), Anvil Mining and Cougar Metals. In Romania, Mr Turner led the exploration team that added 5 million ounces of gold to the Rosia Montana gold project in a twelve month period.

4. Resolution 4 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the entity’s annual general meeting (“ 10% Placement Facility ”). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (please refer to Section 4.2(c) below).
The Board believes that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7
4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has only one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
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. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note: A has the same meaning as 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.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual 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 formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (please refer to Section 4.2(c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
8
-
(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 Section 4.2(e)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(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),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX (“ 10% Placement Period ”).
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities 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 ASX trading days of the date in Section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is 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 Annual General 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of 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 below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (iii) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. 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
9
placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future meetings of Shareholders; and
- (iv) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
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.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
The issue price is $0.008, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 22 October 2013.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility to raise funds for geochemical sampling and drilling on the Company’s projects.
The Company may also issue Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Equity Securities for noncash consideration, the Company will release a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
10
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but are likely to be investors which are sophisticated and/or professional investors, who are not related parties of the Company, for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act.
If the Company is successful in acquiring new resource assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
- (f) In the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company has issued 28,488,684 Equity Securities. This represents 26.8% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
