2. VOTING RESTRICTIONS

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of a member of the Company's key management personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report (KMP); or a closely related party of a KMP whether the votes are cast as a Shareholder, proxy or in any other capacity.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote cast by a member of the KMP (KMP member) or a closely related party of a KMP member if the vote is cast as a proxy; the proxy is appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; and the vote is not cast on behalf of a KMP member or a closely related party of a KMP member.

KMP members are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director of the Company.

If you are a KMP member or a closely related party of a KMP member (or are acting on behalf of any such person) and purport to cast a vote that will be disregarded by the Company (as stated above), you may commit an offence by breaching the voting restrictions that apply to you under the Corporations Act.

A closely related party of a KMP member means any of the following:

• a spouse or child of the KMP member;
• a child of the KMP member's spouse;
• a dependant of the KMP member or the KMP member's spouse;
• anyone else who is one of the KMP member's family and may be expected to influence the KMP member, or be influenced by the KMP member, in the KMP member's dealings with the Company;
• a company the KMP member controls;
• a person prescribed by regulations (as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, no such regulations have been prescribed).

The proxy form accompanying this Notice of Annual General Meeting contains instructions regarding how to complete the proxy form if a Shareholder wishes to appoint the Chairperson as his or her proxy and to authorise the Chairperson to vote on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report. You should read those instructions carefully.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 2 by Dr David J. Isles and any associate of Dr Isles. However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast on Resolution 2 if:

• it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
• it is cast by a person chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 by a person (and any associate of such a person) who may participate in the 10% Placement Facility and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if Resolution 3 is passed.

Persons are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the time the Meeting is to commence, so that their shareholding may be checked against the register and their attendance recorded. Shareholders intending to attend the Meeting by attorney must ensure that they have, not later than 48 hours prior to the time the Meeting is to commence, provided the original or a certified copy of the power of attorney to the Company, in the same manner prescribed below for the giving of proxy forms to the Company.

• (a) Shareholders wishing to vote by proxy must complete, sign and deliver the enclosed personalised proxy form or forms, in accordance with the instructions on the form, prior to 10.30am Melbourne time on 15 October 2012 by:
  • Mail to: Boardroom Pty Limited, GPO Box 3993, Sydney NSW 2001;

  • (2) one or two proxies if the Shareholder is entitled to more than one vote.
• (c) If a Shareholder appoints one proxy, that proxy may vote on a show of hands. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies, neither proxy may vote on a show of hands.
• (d) Where the Shareholder appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not do so, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes, and any fraction of votes will be disregarded.

• (g) You are encouraged when completing the proxy form to direct the proxy by indicating a vote for either "For" or "Against" or "Abstain". If the abstention box for the item of business is marked, the proxy will be directed not to vote on a show of hands or on a poll and the relevant shares will not be counted in calculating the required majority on a poll. If no box is marked, the proxy will not have been directed as to how to vote and may therefore vote as he or she thinks fit, or abstain from voting.
• (h) If the proxy form is signed by the Shareholder but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, the Chairperson of the Meeting may either act as proxy or complete the proxy by inserting the name of one or more Directors or the Company Secretary.

• (k) If you require an additional proxy form, the Company will supply it on request to the undersigned.

7. VOTING BY CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE

• (a) obtain an appointment of corporate representative form from the Registry;

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting and forms part of the Notice of Meeting.

Certain terms used in this Explanatory Statement and the Notice of Meeting of which it forms part are defined in section 4 of this Statement (Interpretation).

2. WHY THE MEETING IS BEING HELD

2.1 Financial Statements and Reports

The Board is required to lay before the Meeting the financial statements, Directors' report and independent auditor's report for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Copies of the financial statements and abovementioned reports are contained in the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 which has been lodged with ASX and is available for Shareholders to access and download from the Company's website www.stellarresources.com.au.

Shareholders can also request a printed copy of the Annual Report by telephoning the Company Secretary, Ms Christina Kemp on (+61 3) 9618 2540. Shareholders who have opted in writing to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report will receive it in the mail with this Notice of Meeting.

The Chairperson of the Meeting will take Shareholders' questions and comments about the management of the Company. The auditor of the Company will be available to take Shareholders' questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor's report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements or the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the auditor about the content of the auditor's report or the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report to be considered at the Meeting may be submitted not later than five business days before the Meeting to:

The Company Secretary Stellar Resources Limited Level 17, 530 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000

Facsimile: +61 3 9649 7200 E-mail: chris.kemp@stellarresources.com.au Copies of any questions received will be made available at the Meeting. The Chairperson of the Meeting will allow the auditor to answer written questions submitted to the auditor before the Meeting. If the auditor has prepared a written answer to a question, the Chairperson of the Meeting may permit the auditor to table that written answer. A written answer tabled at the Meeting will be made reasonably available to members as soon as practicable after the Meeting.

Shareholders are not required to pass any resolution in relation to the financial statements and reports (other than Resolution 1 being the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2012).

2.2 Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report for year ended 30 June 2012

The Remuneration Report forms part of the statutory Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 which is available for Shareholders to access and download from the Company's website www.stellarresources.com.au. The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration policy of the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for specified executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, and the non-executive Directors.

The Company is required by the Corporations Act to put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. But, it should be noted, the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Accordingly, the Company will not be required to alter any arrangements detailed in the Remuneration Report, should the Report not be adopted. However, notwithstanding this strict legal position, the Board has determined that it will take the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report into consideration when determining the remuneration policy of the Company.

Further, under recent amendments to the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report, then:

• if comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, the Company's Remuneration Report for the period ending 30 June 2013 will be required to include an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the Board's reasons for this; and
• if, at the Company's 2013 Annual General Meeting, 25% or more of the votes cast on the resolution for the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 are against its adoption, the Company must put to its Shareholders a resolution proposing that an Extraordinary General Meeting (Spill Meeting) be held within 90 days of the date of the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Where a Spill Resolution is carried at the Spill Meeting (i.e more than 50% of the votes cast on the Spill Resolution are in favour of the Spill Resolution), all of the Directors in office at the 2013 Annual General Meeting will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, unless they are re-elected at the Spill Meeting.

The Company recommends that Shareholders who submit proxies should consider giving "how to vote" directions to their proxyholder on each resolution, including this Resolution 1. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxyholder, and you do not mark any of the boxes "For" or "Against" or "Abstain" so as to give the Chairperson directions about how your vote should be cast, your proxy will automatically be directed in favour of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report and the Chairperson will vote accordingly.

If you wish to appoint the Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting as your proxyholder but you do not want to put the Chairperson in the position to cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1, you should complete the appropriate box on the proxy form, directing the Chairperson to vote against or abstain from voting on Resolution 1.

Before calling for votes in relation to this resolution, the Chairperson of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for the members present to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Directors make no voting recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution.

2.3 Resolution 2 – Re-election of Dr David J. Isles as a Director

Clause 57.1 of the Company's constitution provides that, at the close of each Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not more than one third of the Directors) must retire from office. The Directors retire by rotation, with the Director(s) who have been the longest in office since being appointed or re-appointed being the Director(s) who must retire in any year. There being four Directors, this provision requires one Director to retire by rotation at this year's Annual General Meeting. Mr Harman having been re-elected at the 2010 Annual General Meeting and Dr Whiting and Mr Burrowes having been re-elected at last year's Annual General Meeting, it falls to Dr Isles to retire at the conclusion of the 2012 Annual General Meeting.

Under clause 57.4, a retiring Director is entitled to offer himself for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting which coincides with his retirement.

Dr Isles has a background in the minerals industry spanning more than 30 years. He has held senior positions in large mining and exploration companies and in contracting and consulting companies. Since 1993, he has operated a technical consultancy specialising in exploration applications of airborne geophysics.

In recent times, he has been an executive Director of ASX listed companies New Hampton Goldfields Limited and Gravity Capital Limited and is currently a non-executive Director of the Senegalese-focused ASX listed mining and exploration company, Mineral Deposits Limited. He was a founding Director of Stellar Resources Limited.

He is a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

Details of Dr Isles' qualifications and further details of his experience are contained in the Directors' Report forming part of the 2012 Annual Report.

Dr Isles will retire in accordance with the requirements of the Company's constitution at the close of the Annual General Meeting. He seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at the Meeting.

The Directors (other than Dr Isles) recommend that you vote in favour of this Resolution. Dr Isles makes no recommendation to Shareholders.

2.4 Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A

2.4.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the 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 (refer to Section 2.4.2.3 below).

2.4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

2.4.2.1 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.

2.4.2.2 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.

The Company, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, has on issue one class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

2.4.2.3 Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that an eligible entity which has 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) 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. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
• (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note, that A 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.

2.4.2.4 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.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 223,447,547 shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

• 33,517,132 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
• under Resolution 3, subject to Shareholder approval being sought, 22,344,754 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 (refer to Section 2.4.2.3 above).

2.4.2.5 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:

• (A) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
• (B) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (A) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

2.4.2.6 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:

• (A) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
• (B) 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).

2.4.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires 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).

2.4.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

• (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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
• (b) If Resolution 3 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 table below. 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 Shareholders provide their approval at 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,

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 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:

• (i) 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 to all Shareholders) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' Meeting; and
• (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

		Dilution
Variable A in Listing Rule		$0.0425	$0.0850	$0.1700
7.1A.2		50% decrease in IssuePrice	Issue Price	100% increase inIssue Price

Variable A335,171,321 Shares	Funds raised	$1,424,478	$2,848,956	$5,697,912
100% increase in current	10% Voting Dilution	44,689,509 Shares	44,689,509 Shares	44,689,509 Shares
Variable A446,895,094 Shares	Funds raised	$1,899,304	$3,798,608	$7,597,217

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

• 1. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
• 1. None of the 6,125,000 unlisted options that the Company currently has on issue are exercised into shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
• 1. 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%.
• 1. 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.
• 1. 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.
• 1. The issue price is $0.085, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 August 2012.

• (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement period. The approval under Resolution 3 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 seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised to advance its primary objective of establishing the feasibility of its wholly owned Heemskirk Tin Project near Zeehan in north west Tasmania, keep the Company's other mining tenements in good standing to the extent that third parties are not responsible for doing so under farmin or joint venture agreements and/or to provide general working capital.
  • (ii) non-cash consideration. Whilst the Company is not currently seeking to acquire new resource assets or investments, an asset may become available for acquisition in exchange for shares. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

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

(e) The Company's allocation policy will depend 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 factors including, but not limited to, the following:

• (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing Shareholders can participate;
• (ii) the effect the issue of the Equity Securities might have on the control of the Company;
• (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
• (iv) 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 may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

If the Company were to acquire an asset or investment in exchange for Shares, it is likely that the allottee under the 10% Placement Facility would be the vendor of the asset or investment.

• (f) This is the first occasion on which Shareholder approval has been sought under Listing Rule 7.1A.
• (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in section 2 of the Notice of Meeting. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this Resolution.
