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 Wednesday, 19 November 2009 at 9.30am (WST).
Financial, Directors’ and Auditors Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the management of the Company.
1. Resolution 1 – Directors' Remuneration
Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2009 contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
The provisions of the Corporations Act provide that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy.
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.
2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr John W Barr
Article 6.3(b)(ii) of the Constitution requires that a Director must retire from office no later than 3 years following that Director's last election.

The Options are unlisted but are transferable. No application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company until such time as the Company in its absolute discretion determines otherwise.
The Options to be granted to Mr Burton are pursuant to his employment contact as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
6
4.2 Reason approval required
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because as a Director Mr Burton is a related party of the Company.
Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the grant of Options means that the issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the grant of Options:
-
(a) Up to 6,000,000 Options will be granted to Mr Burton (or his nominees).

-

The non-executive Directors of the Company each recommend the grant of the Options to Mr Burton as it represents part of his remuneration package upon appointment of Chief Executive Officer.
-
(f) The dilution effect if all of the Options granted are exercised is as follows:
| Current number of Shares on issue | 258,055,076 |
|---|---|
| NumberofOptions to be granted under Resolutions 5 to7 | 6,000,000 |
| Dilution effect if all Options granted are exercised | 2.3% |

| Salary & Fees | Super | Share-based Payment Options |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ |

-
(l) On the basis of the assumptions set out in Section 5.3(k) of this Explanatory Memorandum, independent accountants BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd has determined the technical value of one Option approximates $0.043 This valuation imputes a total value of $258,000 to the Options.
-
(m) The market price of Shares would normally determine whether the Directors will exercise the Options or not. If the 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.
-
(n) Historical share price information for the last twelve months is set out in Section 5.3 (m) of this Explanatory Memorandum.

5. Resolutions 5 to 7 – Approval to grant Options of Non Executive Directors
5.1 General
Resolutions 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act to grant 6,000,000 Options to the Non Executive Directors (or their nominees) as follows:
Mr John W. Barr 2,000,000 Options; Mr Neil Biddle 2,000,000 Options; and Mr Edward Fry 2,000,000 Options.
The Options are unlisted but are transferable. No application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company until such time as the Company in its absolute discretion determines otherwise.
8
The purpose of the grant of the Options is for the Company to retain directors of high calibre. The Company acknowledges that the grant of Options to non-executive Non Executive Directors is contrary to recommendation 8 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Options in Resolutions 5-7 to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size, stage of development, and the need to attract and retain directors of high calibre while still maintaining a cash reserve.
5.2 Reason approval required
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because the Non Executive Directors are related parties of the Company.
Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the grant of Options means that the issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the grant of Options:

- (l) On the basis of the assumptions below, independent accountants BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd has determined the technical value of one Option approximates $0.043 This valuation imputes a total value of $258,000 to the Options.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.
Some of the Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 7. In the absence of this Resolution 8, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 4 to 7.
The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve upon.

All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided.
