The Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Directors (other than Messrs Barr and Biddle) have determined that the Company and Kensington Consulting are dealing at arm's length and, in the circumstances of the Company and its current objectives and Mr Barr's role as Chairman, that the Kensington Service Agreement is reasonable.

However the Directors seek Shareholders' approval as a matter of good corporate governance and to give each Shareholder the opportunity to vote on the proposal.

Resolution 7 - Authorisation of Placement Facility $\overline{7}$ .

$7.1$ General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholders' approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the Directors to allot and issue the Placement Securities under the Placement Facility.

The effect of passing Resolution 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Placement Securities during the three month period after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company has not yet made any agreement or arrangement to issue the Placement Securities or the number of Placement Securities to be issued (other than the limit of 20,000,000 Shares and 20,000,000 Listed Options), and there is no certainty that it will proceed with the issue.

$7.2$ Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 information regarding the Placement Facility is provided as follows:

  • The maximum number of securities the Company can issue under the $(a)$ Placement Facility is 20,000,000 Shares and 20,000,000 Listed Options.

  • $(f)$ The funds raised will be used to fund ongoing exploration activities at the Company's key projects and for working capital purposes.
  • Allotment of the Placement Securities to be issued under the Placement Facility $(q)$ will occur progressively.
  • $(h)$ A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Resolution 8 - Approval of issue of Incentive Options to 8. Mr Edward Frv

$8.1$ General

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of a total of 1,500,000 Incentive Options to Mr Edward Fry or his nominees. The Incentive Options are non transferable and will not be listed on ASX.

The purpose of the issue of the Incentive Options is for the Company to retain directors of high calibre. The Company acknowledges that the issue of options to non-executive Directors is contrary to recommendation 9.3 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However, the Board considers the issue of Incentive Options in Resolution 8 to be reasonable in the circumstances given

the Company's size, stage of development, and the need to attract directors of high calibre while still maintaining a cash reserve.

The 1.500,000 Incentive Options are to be issued to Mr Fry as an incentive to perform and in recognition of his efforts in assisting with matters relating to the Company's Manbarrum Lead, Zinc, Silver Project,

8.2 Reason approval required

Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because Mr Fry is a related party of the Company.

Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the issue of Incentive Options to Mr Fry means that the issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule $7.1.$

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue:

  • $(a)$ The Incentive Options will be issued to Mr Fry (or his nominees).
  • The maximum number of Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Fry is 1,500,000. $(b)$
  • The Company will issue the Incentive Options no later than one month after the $(c)$ date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).
  • $(d)$ Mr Fry is not a Director of the Company. His relationship to the Company is that he has offered himself for election as a Director of the Company at the Meeting.
  • Each Incentive Option will be issued for nil consideration. Each Incentive Option $(e)$ entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) Share at an exercise price of A\$0.23, exercisable on or before 30 November 2007. The Incentive Options are not transferable and will not be quoted on ASX. Further terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are in Schedule 2.
  • $(f)$ A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
  • No funds will be raised by the issue of the Incentive Option. $(q)$

Section 219 of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue:

  • The related party to whom the financial benefit is to be given is Mr Fry (or his $(a)$ nominee).
  • The nature of the financial benefit is the issue of 1,500,000 Incentive Options to $(b)$ Mr Fry (or his nominee).
  • The Directors are each in favour of Resolution 8 that 1,500,000 Incentive $(c)$ Options be issued to Mr Fry.
  • On the basis of the assumptions below, independent accountants BDO have $(d)$ determined the technical value of one Incentive Option approximates A\$0.102. This valuation imputes a total value of A\$153,000 to the Incentive Options to be

issued to Mr Fry. The value may go up or down after that date as it will depend on the future price of a Share. Black & Scholes methodology has been used. together with the following assumptions:

  • interest rate set at the Commonwealth Government securities rate of $(i)$ 5.91%:
  • $(ii)$ the date of valuation is for the purposes of settling the current market value of a Share is 13 September 2006:
  • at this date the Share price was A\$0.28 which is the price used in the $(iii)$ valuation:
  • the standard deviation of returns of the Incentive Options is set at 60% $(iv)$ which is based on the Company's historical data; and
  • the Incentive Options will not be exercised any earlier than 30 $(v)$ November 2007.
  • $(e)$ If the Shareholders approve the proposed issue of the Incentive Options to Mr Fry, the exercise of those Incentive Options will result in a dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings in the Company of 1.47% based on issued Shares as at the date of this Notice and a dilution of 1.22% assuming Shareholders also approve Resolutions 7 and 9.
  • $(f)$ The market price of Shares would normally determine whether Mr Fry will exercise the Incentive Options or not. If the Incentive Options are exercised at a price that is lower than the price at which Shares are trading on ASX, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
  • Shareholders have approved an aggregate amount of up to A\$200,000 to be $(q)$ paid as Directors' fees.

The Directors have resolved that Mr Fry receive remuneration as follows:

Base Remuneration
(per annum)
Super Contributions Total
\$30,000 \$2,700 \$32,700

$(h)$ Historical share price information for the last twelve months is as follows:

Price Date
Highest \$0.305 28 July 2006
Lowest \$0.14 4 January 2006
Last \$0.295 3 October 2006

$(i)$ Other than the information above and otherwise in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolution 8.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

Resolution 9 - Approval of issue of Incentive Options to $91$ Mr Pedro Kastellorizos

$9.1$ General

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholders approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 1,000,000 incentive Options to Mr Pedro Kastellorizos. The Incentive Options are non-transferable and will not be listed on ASX.

Mr Pedro Kastellorizos joined the Company in January 2005 as Exploration Manager and was instrumental in the acquisition and development of the Northern Territory properties. including the Manbarrum Lead Zinc Silver Project. The Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Kastellorizos are in recognition for this work.

$9.2$ Reason approval required

The Incentive Options will be issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 9 by approving the issue of the Incentive Options to Mr Kastellorizos will be to restore the Company's ability to issue Shares (or options) within that limit, to the extent of the 1,000,000 Incentive Options.

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolution 9 in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

$9.3$ Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Listing Rule 7.3 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 as follows:

  • $(a)$ The maximum number of Incentive Options the Company will issue to Mr Pedro Kastellorizos (or his nominee) is 1,000,000 Incentive Options.
  • $(b)$ The Company will issue the Incentive Options no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.2).
  • The Incentive Options will be issued for nil consideration; $(c)$
  • $(d)$ The Incentive Options will be issued to Mr Pedro Kastellorizos (or his nominee).
  • $(e)$ Each Incentive Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) Share at an exercise price of A\$0.23, exercisable on or before 30 November 2007. The Incentive Options are not transferable and will not be quoted on ASX. Further terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are in Schedule 2.
  • $(f)$ No funds will be raised by the issue of the Incentive Options as they will be issued for nil consideration.
