EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on 1 March 2006 at 10.30am (WST).
$\mathbf 1$ Resolution 1 – Approval of Pro-rata Issue of Options
$1.1$ General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders' approval for the Directors to make a pro-rata issue of Options to all Shareholders on the basis of one Listed Option for every two Shares held by Shareholders at the issue price of A\$0.02 per Listed Option ("Pro-rata Issue").
The terms and conditions of the Listed Options offered under the Pro-rata Issue are contained in Schedule 2.
The Company is yet to determine the timetable for the Pro-rata Issue but when it does so will ensure it is in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company will make application to ASX for official quotation of the Listed Options. If ASX refuses quotation of the Listed Options the Pro-rata Issue will not proceed and the funds raised will be returned to Shareholders less interest which will be retained by the Company.
Shareholders' approval for the Pro-rata Issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 is not required as the Pro-rata Issue falls within Exception 1 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2. 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.
The following information is provided as follows:
- the maximum number of securities the Company can issue under the Pro-rata $(a)$ Issue is approximately 42,814,135 Listed Options (depending on whether any options in the Company are exercised prior to the Pro-rata Issue);
- $(b)$ the Company will grant the Listed Options as soon as reasonably possible following completion of the Pro-rata Issue;
- $(c)$ the Listed Options under the Pro-rata Issue will be offered to all shareholders;
- $(d)$ the Listed Options are listed options of the Company. The terms of the Listed Options are contained in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum;
-
the grant of the Listed Options will occur progressively; $(e)$
-
$(f)$ the capital raised from the Pro-rata Issue will be approximately \$856,300 (depending on whether any options in the Company are exercised prior to the Pro-rata Issue) and will be used to advance exploration on the Manbarrum Lead-Zinc-Silver Project and the balance will be used to fund working capital requirements, and
- $(q)$ a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
$21$ Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5 & $6 -$ Approval of the variation of the terms and conditions of Options
$2.1$ General
Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 and section 195(4) of the Corporations Act for the variation of the terms and conditions of a total of 15,966,000 Options issued to the optionholders as follows to Mr Neil Biddle, Mr John W Barr, Mr Michael Bowen and Mr Terence Smith or their nominees but which remain unexercised (collectively the "Participating Directors") and employees and consultants who have been issued Options.
The terms and conditions of the Options prior to the variation are the same as those of Listed Options except that the Options are non-transferable and no application for quotation of the Options may be made by the Company.
It is proposed to vary the terms and conditions of the Options by converting the Options from being non-transferable to being transferable and enabling the Company to make an application for quotation of the Options. The effect of the variation is that the Options will have the same terms as the Listed Options.
If the ASX refuses official quotation of the Listed Options then the variation of the Option terms and conditions contemplated in Resolutions $2 - 6$ will not occur.
Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 do not apply to the RAB Options granted by the Company to RAR
If all of the Resolutions in this notice are passed there will be three classes of options granted by the Company; Listed Options, RAB Options and unlisted options granted to employees and consultants under the Company's employee option plan.
The Current holders of Options to which Resolutions $2 - 6$ apply are as follows:
| Name of Option Holder | Number of Options issued |
|---|---|
| Hatched Creek Pty Ltd (nominee of Mr Neil Biddle) |
4,500,000 |
| Kensington Consulting Pty Ltd (nominee of Mr John W Barr) |
2,300,000 |
| Bouchi Pty Ltd (nominee of Mr Michael Bowen) |

$2.2$ Reason approval required
Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4.

Resolution 7 - Refreshment of Placement Facility $\overline{3}$ .
$3.1$ General
On 23 November 2005 at the Annual General Meeting of the Company a resolution was passed giving the Directors authority to issue up to 10,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of at least 80% of the average market price of Shares calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.3 at the date(s) of issue to raise approximately \$1,800,000 within 3 months of the Annual General Meeting.
The placement facility approved at the Annual General Meeting was for the issue of 10,000,000 Shares. Only half of this facility (5,000,000 Shares) is being refreshed as the other half of the funds sought to be raised in the original placement facility are being raised by the Pro-rata Issue.
The effect of passing this Resolution will be to refresh the Placement Facility for which Shareholder approval was obtained at the Annual General Meeting. The effect of this is the Company may use the Placement Facility for 3 months from the date of this approval without using its 15% capacity. The Company has not yet made any agreement or arrangement to issue these Shares, and there is no certainty that it will proceed with the issue.
$3.2$ 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 Shares the Company can issue under the Placement $(a)$ Facility is 5,000,000;

as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of ASX Listing Rule $7.3.2$ :
- $(c)$ as subscriptions to the Placement Facility have not vet been arranged, the allottees will be identified at the Directors' discretion but will not be related parties or associates of related parties of the Company;
- $(d)$ the Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company:
- $(e)$ the proposed uses of the funds raised from the Placement Facility are to further the Company's exploration, including a potential drilling program at the Manbarrum lead-zinc project (\$900,000);
- $(f)$ the amount of \$900,000 proposed to be raised pursuant to the Placement Facility has been based on the issue and allotment of 5,000,000 Shares at \$0.18. The price at which the shares will be allotted and issued will be calculated on the basis of at least 80% of the average market price of existing issued Shares calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.3 at the date(s) of issue. In the event that the amount raised is greater or less than \$900,000 the above figure will be adjusted proportionately; and
- $(a)$ a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
$\mathbf{A}$ Resolution 8 - Authority to Grant Options to Employees and Consultants
Resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the grant of up to 5,000,000 Listed Options, to be granted at the discretion of the Directors to key employees, consultants and advisors of the Company.
The two main purposes of the issue of the Listed Options are to give an incentive to employees and consultants to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company and for the Company to reward employees and consultants for their efforts. The Listed Options will be issued under the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 2.
Directors will not be eligible to participate in this issue.
Listing Rule 7.1 - Shareholder approval of the grant of Listed Options
Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's securities then on issue.
While the Listed Options to be granted under this Resolution do not exceed the 15% limit, Shareholder approval is being sought such that the grant of the Options does not reduce the Company's 15% capacity.
Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Shareholder approval of the Listed Option Issue and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, information is provided as follows:
the maximum number of securities the Company can issue under Resolution 8 $(a)$ is 5,000,000 Listed Options (which upon exercise each convert into one Share);
- $(b)$ the Company will grant the Listed Options no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow):
- the Listed Options will be granted to key employees, consultants and advisors $(c)$ of the Company who are not related parties of the Company or their associates. at the discretion of Directors:
- $(d)$ the Listed Options are listed options of the Company. The terms of the Listed Options are contained in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum;
- the grant of the Listed Options will occur progressively; $(e)$
- the Listed Options will be granted for nil consideration and therefore no funds $(f)$ will be raised; and
- a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. $(a)$

The Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 to 5. In the absence of this Resolution 9, the Directors may not be able to form a guorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 2 to 5.
