EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held on 22 June 2012.

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 resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting. This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.

By Resolutions 1 and 2 the Company is seeking shareholder ratification of previous Issues of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits issues of equity securities by a listed company exceeding 15% of capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. Accordingly if shareholders approve Resolutions 1 and 2 approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of shares will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

RESOLUTION 1

Ratification of Previous Issue of Securities announced 7 February 2012

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period to that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities 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 a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (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 purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.

Under Resolution 1 the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for, and ratification of, the previous issue of securities as set out below and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company’s 15% placement capacity at that time. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information:

Shares issued from this placement were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing shares. The Company has applied funds raised in the above placement towards working capital and exploration work on its REE and Base Metals Prospects in Namibia and on its Zinc/Lead/Silver development at Kihabe in Botswana.

The Board believes that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company to ratify the above issue of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.

RESOLUTION 2

Ratification of Previous Issue of Securities announced 15 May 2012

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period to that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities 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 a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (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 purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.

Under Resolution 2 the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for, and ratification of, the previous issue of securities as set out below and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company’s 15% placement capacity at that time. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information:

The Board believes that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company.
