EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the Declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s Annual Financial Report is available on its website at www.tanami.com.au .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2012 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an Extraordinary General Meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Extraordinary General Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2012 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 Directors' Report was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

2.3 Definitions

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

  • (a) a spouse or child of the member;

  • (b) a child of the member’s spouse;

  • (c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;

  • (d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;

  • (e) a company the member controls; or

  • (f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth ).

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s Report section of the Company’s Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2011.

5

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's Annual General Meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of three years, or until the third Annual General Meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an Annual General Meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has four Directors and accordingly one must retire.

Mr Lee Seng Hui, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Lee Seng Hui, aged 42, is currently the Chief Executive of Allied Group Limited (“AGL”), a Hong Kong listed company, having been appointed in January 1998. Mr Lee graduated with Honours from the Law School of the University of Sydney and worked with Baker & McKenzie and NM Rothschild & Sons (Hong Kong) Limited. Following his appointment as a Non-Executive Director of AGL in July 1992, Mr Lee became an Executive Director in December 1993. On 2 October 2009, Mr Lee was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of APAC Resources Limited which is a Hong Kong listed company. On 18 June 2010, Mr Lee was appointed as the Chief Executive and Executive Director of Allied Properties (H.K.) Limited (“APL”) which is a Hong Kong listed company and a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL. He is also a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of Tian An China Investments Company Limited which is a Hong Kong listed company and an associate of AGL and APL. Mr Lee was previously the Chairman and an Executive Director of Yu Ming Investments Limited (now known as SHK Hong Kong Industries Limited), which is also a Hong Kong listed company and a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL. Mr Lee was appointed to the Board of Mount Gibson Iron Limited as a Non-Executive Director on 29 January 2010.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR ALAN SENIOR

4.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 300,000 Options to Mr Alan Senior ( Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below. Mr Senior is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is sought for the issue of Options to the Related Party.

4.2 Shareholder Approval (ASX Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Options:

  • (a) the related party is Mr Alan Senior and he is a related party by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to the Related Party is 300,000;

  • (c) the Options will be issued to the Related Party no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 1. The exercise price of the Options will be 40% above the five day volume weighted average price of Shares on ASX immediately prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting for a term of five years from the date of issue.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Mr Senior was appointed as a Director on 31 July 2007. The options to be issued to Mr Senior (subject to Shareholder approval) are in recognition of the contribution Mr Senior has made to the Company and as an incentive to retain the services of Mr Senior, being a high calibre Director who will contribute to the Company’s future growth.

6

5. RESOLUTION 4 - ADOPTION OF TANAMI GOLD NL EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

5.1 General

To ensure that the Company has appropriate mechanisms to continue to attract and retain the services of employees of a high calibre, the Company has established the “Tanami Gold NL Employee Share Plan” ( Plan ).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval under exception 9(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 to allow the issue of Shares under the Plan ( Plan Shares ) as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An issue under an employee incentive scheme will only fall within exception 9(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 if the securities are issued under a scheme approved by Shareholders within three years before the date of issue.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will have the ability to issue Plan Shares to eligible participants under the Plan over a period of three years without impacting on the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The employees of the Company have been, and will continue to be, instrumental in the growth of the Company. The Directors consider that the Plan is an appropriate method to:

  • (a) reward employees for their past performance;

  • (b) provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth;

  • (c) motivate and generate loyalty from senior employees; and

  • (d) assist to retain the services of valuable employees.

No Plan Shares have yet been issued under the Plan.

A summary of the terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Section 5.2 below and a full copy of the Plan is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office until the date of the Annual General Meeting.

5.2 Summary of the terms and conditions of the Plan
