On 16 December 2013 the Company issued 1,707,316 Shares and 1,707,316 Options exercisable at $0.041 each on or before 13 December 2016 as consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Fraser Range Project (E28-2268).
The Company issued the Shares and Options without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes of the issue of those Shares and Options.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made (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 purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

- (ii) 426,829 Shares and 426,829 Options to Peter Geerdts,
who are not related parties of the Company;
- (d) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
- (e) the Options are exercisable at $0.041 each on or before 13 December 2016 and were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and
- (f) no funds were raised from this issue as the Shares and Options were issued in consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Fraser Range Project(E28-2268).
1.4 Directors' recommendation
None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 1. The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of the Shares and Options is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue, subject to the limits under the ASX Listing Rules, further securities during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

The Shares the subject of the Placement represent 38.96% of the Company's current issued share capital of 77,002,980 Shares (assuming that no other Shares are issued and none of the existing Options have been converted into Shares prior to the Meeting).
As the issue of the Shares under the Placement will exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval to the issue of these Shares is required for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.2 above.
3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

- (d) the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors or to other persons to whom disclosure is not required under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. The Directors will determine to whom the Shares will be issued but these persons will not be related parties of the Company;

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as it will provide additional working capital to the Company and means that the Shares the subject of this Resolution will not need to be counted as part of the Company's 15% placement capacity, giving the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company's share capital without Shareholder approval.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
-
- (Appointing a proxy): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
- (Direction to vote): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. (Signing instructions):
- (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
- (Joint holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
- (Power of attorney): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
- (Companies): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
- (Attending the Meeting): 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.
-
- (Return of Proxy Form): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
- (a) post to Rumble Resources Limited, GPO Box 2517, Perth, Western Australia 6831; or
