Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Statement. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations used are set out in the Glossary contained in this Explanatory Statement.

$\mathbf{1}$ . GENERAL INFORMATION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the shareholders of Gippsland Limited (Gippsland or the Company) in connection with the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Monday 25 October 2004.

$21$ RESOLUTION 1

Resolution 1 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr RJ Telford as a Director.

The Constitution requires that at an Annual General Meeting of the Company one third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

Mr RJ Telford retires by rotation, is eligible for re-election and puts himself forward for re-election at this Annual General Meeting.

$3.$ RESOLUTION 2

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such a ratification is to restore a company's maximum discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the company without requiring shareholder approval.

Resolution 2 has been included so that shareholders may ratify pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 the previous issue, made on 5 December 2003, of 6,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 5 cents per Share (to raise $300,000 before expenses) along with 3,000,000 free attaching Listed Options each with an exercise price of 9 cents and expiring on 31 December 2007, to various clients of the Australian stockbroking firm Kirke Securities Pty Ltd.

$300,000 before expenses was raised from the issue. The Company used the cash funds raised by the issue to replenish the Company's cash position and to provide additional capital for the exploitation and development of the Company's Abu Dabbab tantalum, tin and feldspar deposit located in the Abu Dabbab area of the Central Eastern Desert of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

The Company currently has 139,528,359 Shares on issue which are listed on ASX and AIM. The Company currently has on issue 43,771,393 Listed Options each with an exercise price of 9 cents and expiring on 31 December 2007 which are listed on ASX and AIM. These aforementioned figures include the Shares and Listed Options the subject of this Resolution 2. The Company also has on issue 2,790,567 Unlisted Options each with an exercise price of 2.8 UK pence and expiring on 8 March 2007.

The Company wishes to ratify this issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital at any time during the next 12 months. The information required to be given to shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 is contained in both this Explanatory Statement and the notes to Resolution 2 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. All Shares issued pursuant to Resolution 2 ranked equally with the existing ordinary shares on issue.

4. RESOLUTION 3

Resolution 3 has been included so that shareholders may ratify pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 the previous issue, made on 8 March 2004 in the United Kingdom, of 2,790,567 Unlisted Options each with an exercise price of 2.8 UK pence (which equated to 6.8 Australian cents per Share) and expiring on 8 March 2007, to UK stockbroking firm Hoodless Brennan & Partners PLC as part consideration for their services rendered in assisting in the listing of the Company's securities on AIM.

No cash funds were raised by the grant of these 2,790,567 Unlisted Options.

The Directors, in conjunction with the Company's advisers, have also attempted to assess the theoretical value of these 2,790,567 Unlisted Options granted to Hoodless Brennan & Partners PLC by reference to the Black and Scholes valuation method and on the basis of the following assumptions:

  • the exercise price of the Unlisted Options is 6.8 cents each;
  • the Unlisted Options each a term expiring on 8 March 2007:
  • the share price at the time of the grant was 8.1 cents;
  • the advisers have also assumed a risk free rate (3 year bond rate) of 5%;
  • the advisers have also assumed a volatility factor of 100%. $\bullet$

Based on these assumptions and advice from the Company's advisers, it is considered that the estimated theoretical value of the Unlisted Options is 5.5 cents each. Accordingly the theoretical value of the grant of these 2,790,567 Unlisted Options to Hoodless Brennan & Partners PLC was $153,481 $(2,790,567 \times 0.055$ cents each).

The Company currently has 139,528,359 Shares on issue which are listed on ASX and AIM. The Company currently has on issue 43.771.393 Listed Options each with an exercise price of 9 cents and expiring on 31 December 2007 which are listed on ASX and AIM. The Unlisted Options granted to Hoodless Brennan & Partners PLC the only Unlisted Options on issue.

The Company wishes to ratify this issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital at any time during the next 12 months. The information required to be given to shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 is contained in both this Explanatory Statement and the notes to Resolution 3 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 4

Resolution 4 has been included so that shareholders may ratify pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 the previous issue, made on 8 March 2004 in the United Kingdom, of 100,000 Listed Options each with an exercise price of 9 cents and expiring on 31 December 2007, to UK public relations firm Conduit PR as part consideration for their services rendered in assisting in the listing of the Company's securities on AIM.

No cash funds were raised by the grant of these 100,000 Listed Options which are listed on ASX and AIM.

These 100,000 Listed Options were issued with terms and conditions which are identical to the current ASX and AIM listed option class and these 100,000 Listed Options are now all listed for quotation on the ASX and AIM and they rank pari passu with existing ASX and AIM listed options.

On the date of the grant of these 100,000 Listed Options (which was 8 March 2004) this class of options was listed on ASX and such options were trading at 3.7 cents each. Accordingly the value of the grant of these Listed Options to Conduit PR is $3,700 $(100,000 \times $0.037)$ .

The Company currently has 139,528,359 Shares on issue which are listed on ASX and AIM. The Company currently has on issue 43,771,393 Listed Options each with an exercise price of 9 cents and expiring on 31 December 2007 which are listed on ASX and AIM. These aforementioned figures include the 100,000 Listed Options the subject of this Resolution 4. The Company also has 2,790,567 Unlisted Options each with an exercise price of 2.8 UK pence and expiring on 8 March 2007.

The Company wishes to ratify this issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital at any time during the next 12 months. The information required to be given to shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 is contained in both this Explanatory Statement and the notes to Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meetina.

6. RESOLUTION 5

Resolution 5 - Approval to the Issue of 100,000,000 Shares

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company may not issue securities in any 12 month period where the total number of securities to be issued exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue, except with the prior approval of members of the company in general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue or where the issue is pro rata to all shareholders in accordance with their existing shareholdings.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to permit it to issue up to 100,000,000 Shares via a placement, at an issue price equal to at least 80% of the average market price of the Company's Shares on ASX over 5 trading days preceding the day on which the placement is issued.

The Company will use these funds raised by the issue of the 100,000,000 Shares the subject of Resolution 5 to develop the Company's Abu Dabbab tantalum, tin and feldspar deposit located in the Abu Dabbab area of the Central Eastern Desert of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5 to allow shareholders to assess the proposed issue of up to 100,000,000 Shares as contemplated by Resolution 5:

  • $(a)$ the maximum number of Shares in the capital of the Company to be allotted and issued is 100,000,000 Shares:
  • the Shares the subject of Resolution 5 will be issued and allotted no later than (3) months after $(b)$ the date of this Annual General Meeting;
  • $(c)$ the issue price of the Shares proposed to be allotted and issued will be a price equal to at least 80% of the average market price of the Company's shares on ASX over 5 trading days preceding the day on which the placement is made;
  • $(d)$ the allottees in respect of Resolution 5 are not, as yet, identifiable, but will be subscribers to be identified by the Company and any brokers appointed by the Company to manage the issue;
  • in relation to Resolution 5, by way of an example, in the event that the Company's share price (e) was 20 cents, then 80% of this price is 16 cents. 100,000,000 shares at 16 cents per share totals to $16,000,000;
  • $(f)$ the Shares to be issued will rank pari passu on allotment and issue with the existing Shares of the Company; and
  • $(g)$ the Company will use the funds raised by the issue of the 100,000,000 Shares the subject of Resolution 5 to replenish the Company's cash position and to provide capital for the development of the Company's Abu Dabbab tantalum, tin and feldspar deposit located in the Abu Dabbab area of the central eastern desert of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Instructions for Completing `Appointment of Proxy Form

    1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
  • $\overline{2}$ . A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
    1. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
    • 2 directors of the company; $\bullet$
    • a director and a company secretary of the company; or
    • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section $127(1)$ or $(2)$ as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
