In these circumstances ( and in accordance with the note set out in the Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX 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 Facility), 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.

3. Annual Report
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:
-
a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at www.shmining.com.au
-
b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company; and
-
c) ask the auditor questions about:
-
a. the conduct of the audit;
-
b. the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;
-
c. accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman of the Meeting about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:
-
a) the content of the Auditor's Report; or
-
b) the conduct of the audit;
may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.
4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and Non-Executive Directors.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011, amended the Corporations Act to provide Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except the Managing Director) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (a ‘Strike’) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
==> picture [102 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Page | 6
==> picture [128 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
The Company did not receive a Strike at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2015 Annual General Meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
5. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Election of Directors
Resolutions 2 and 3 seek approval for the re-election of both Mr Andrew Richards and Mr Andrés Hevia who are retiring by rotation under Rule 7.3 of the Company’s Constitution (“Constitution”).
This Rule states that “If the Company has 3 or more Directors, then subject to Rule 7.3(e) and Rule 7.3(g) one third of the Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire at each AGM”.
Mr Richards and Mr Hevia are eligible for re-election under Rule 7.3(d) of the Constitution and each offers himself for re-election as Non-Executive Director of the Company.
The Board (other than Mr Richards who has an interest in Resolution 2) recommends the re-election of Mr Richards.
The Board (other than Mr Hevia who has an interest in Resolution 3) recommends the re-election of Mr Hevia.
Full details of the Directors can be found in the Remuneration Report.

==> picture [128 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
6. Resolution 4 – Approval of additional 10% placement facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits an entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Shares, Share options, convertible securities and other securities defined as equity securities in the ASX Listing Rules (“Equity Securities”) in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of its Shares without the approval of Shareholders.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting (“Additional 10% Placement Facility”). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX 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, as at the time of the entity’s annual general meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Meeting.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Meeting. The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below under the heading “c) Issue Period”.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below to “Dilution” for details).
The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.
Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:
a) Minimum Issue Price
Equity securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.
==> picture [102 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Page | 8
==> picture [128 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
a. the date on which the price at which the Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
b. if the Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in point (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
b) Dilution
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 248,532,950 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 24,853,295 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX 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 Where:
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement as increased or decreased in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
D is 10%;
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issued Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Shares under such issues. There is a risk that:
-
a. the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than the date of the Meeting; and
-
b. 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.
The below table shows the example dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current* (see table assumption point e below) market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2 as at the date of this Notice.

$3,280,635 | $4,920,952 |
The table also shows:
-
a. 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 rate entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
b. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
a. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.
-
b. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
c. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular shareholder will be subject to. All shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
d. The table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
e. The issue price is AUD $0.066 based in the Company’s last sale Share price on October 14, 2014.
==> picture [102 x 92] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [128 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
c) Issue Period
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:
-
a. The date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and
-
b. The date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature of scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(“the Additional 10% Placement Period”).
The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility during the Additional 10% Placement Period.
d) Purpose of Issues
The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
a. cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets (including the acquisition of concession areas in proximity to the Los Rulos Copper-Gold Project), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general corporate overheads; or
-
b. non-cash consideration for acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A.
e) Allocation Policy
It has not been decided whether the capacity to allot Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be utilised. The allottees of the Equity Securities which may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company. The Company will determine the allottees at the time of any issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
a. the purpose and quantum of the issue;
-
b. alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
c. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
d. the timeliness of the completion of an issue under the 10% Placement Capacity compared to other alternative fundraising mechanisms;
-
e. the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
f. prevailing market conditions; and
-
g. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable) and associated costs.
