EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the Shareholders of Zambezi Resources Limited (Zambezi or “Company”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at Canon's Court , 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda on 7 September 2007 commencing at 9.00am (WST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining whether or not to support the Resolutions.

THE RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1 – Re – election of Mr Geoffrey Johnson as a Director

Resolution 1 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Geoffrey Johnson as a Director with effect from the end of the meeting.

Bye-law 77 permits a Director to serve such term as the Company by resolution may determine, or in the absence of such determination, until the termination of the next annual general meeting following their appointment. ASX Listing Rule 14.4 imposes an additional requirement that a Director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. Further, the Company is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 14.5 to hold an election of Directors each year. Accordingly, Mr Johnson retires from office and submits himself for reelection. Mr Johnson has served as an executive Director of the Company and will continue to do so up to the date of the Meeting. On his re-election to the Board under Resolution 1, he will continue as an executive Director.

Director’s Recommendation

Mr Johnson declined to make a recommendation about the proposed resolution because he has an interest in its outcome. Brian Rear, Jeremy Wrathall and Julian Ford recommend that Mr Johnson be re-elected to the Board.

RESOLUTION 2 – Appointment of Auditor

Section 89(2) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda provides that members of a company at each annual general meeting shall appoint one or more auditors to hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting. In addition, Section 89(6) provides that the remuneration of an auditor appointed by the members shall be fixed by the members or by the Directors, if they are authorized to do so by the members.

The current auditors, Grant Thornton West Australian Partnership have changed their international affiliations to WHK Horwath. WHK Horwath does not have a Zambian office. The Company is seeking to change auditors to ensure that an audit firm with an international recognized connection in Lusaka, Zambia performs the audit. This would ensure that the audit could be carried out in an efficient and timely manner on an international basis and be managed by one firm of auditors from “one office” in Perth.

Therefore pursuant to resolution 2, Deloitte will be appointed as the Company’s auditors until the close of the next annual general meeting at a fee to be agreed by the Directors. The Company acknowledges the efforts of WHK Horwath and thanks them accordingly.
