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 to 4 - Re election of Directors

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. Accordingly, the Directors submit themselves for re-election as this was last done three years ago for three years.

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 re-election. 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 4, he will continue as a non - executive Director.

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

Director’s Recommendation

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

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Jeremy Wrathall as a Director with effect from the end of the meeting.

Director’s Recommendation

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

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Julian Ford as a Director with effect from the end of the meeting.

Director’s Recommendation

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

Resolution 4 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Geoffrey Johnson as a Director with effect from the end of the meeting.

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 5 – Issue of options to Brian Rear and Jeremy Wrathall

As announced to the market on the 5[th] September 2007 that subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the board has resolved to grant options to two Directors as follows:

Name NumberofOptions ExercisePrice GBP£ ExpiryDate
Brian Rear 500,000 0.20 31 August 2011
Jeremy Wrathall 500,000 0.20 31 August2011

The full terms of the options to be granted to Messrs Rear and Wrathall are set out in Appendix A to this Explanatory Memorandum. This resolution seeks shareholder approval for the grant of these options.

The ASX Listing Rules set out a number of regulatory requirements which must be satisfied in relation to these Resolutions. These are summarized below.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities (including the grant of options) to a related party or Company. If this resolution is passed the options will be granted to Messrs Rear and Wrathall, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of them being Directors. Accordingly, approval for the grant of the options to Messrs Rear and Wrathall is required pursuant to listing rule 10.11. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to grant the options to Messrs Rear and Wrathall as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholders should note that the grant of the options to Messrs Rear and Wrathall with approval under Listing Rule 10.11 will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders.

a) the number of options to be granted by the Company is:

Name NumberofOptions ExercisePrice GBP£ ExpiryDate
Brian Rear 500,000 0.20 31 August 2011
Jeremy Wrathall 500,000 0.20 31 August2011

b) the options will be granted for nil consideration and therefore no funds will be raised from the grant of options. The full terms and conditions of the options are set out in Appendix A of the Explanatory Memorandum;

  • c) the purpose of the grant of the options is to provide incentive for Messrs Rear and Wrathall to dedicate their skills and expertise to the Company, to ensure ongoing commitment to the Company and to preserve the Company’s cash funds.

  • d) The options will be issued to Messrs Rear and Wrathall within one month from approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Recommendation

Julian Ford and Geoffrey Johnson recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions as they are the view that the grant of the options to Messrs Rear and Wrathall preserves the cash resources of the Company and at the same time provides an added incentive to create shareholder wealth. Messers Rear and Wrathall declined to make a recommendation in relation to the resolutions due to the fact that they have a material personal interest in their outcome.

If Shareholders approved the grant of options to Messrs Rear and Wrathall, and all of the options are exercised, the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders by approximately 0.53% on an undiluted basis and based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The market price for Shares during the term of the options would normally determine whether or not Messrs Rear and Wrathall exercise the options which would result in a cash benefit of GBP£200,000 for the Company on their exercise. In the 12 months before the date of this Notice, the highest, lowest and last trading price of Shares on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange are set out below:

Date Price GBP£
Highest 18 June2007 0.2675
Lowest 4 April 2008 0.0785
Last 18 June2008 0.1150

Resolution 6 – Ratification of issue of 4,030,000 staff options to Employees

During the year the Company issued the following incentive options to key personnel (none of whom are related parties) pursuant to the Zambezi Resources Ltd Staff Option Scheme :

HR Manager 100,000 0.13 31 Mar 2011 28 Mar 2008
Total 4,030,000

The grant of these options reserves the cash resources of the Company and at the same time provides an added incentive for key personnel.

Approvals Required

Under this resolution, the Company seeks from shareholders ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issues of securities set out below so as to limit the restrictive effect of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of securities in the next 12 months.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • a) The total number of options granted was 4,030,000;

  • b) The options were granted pursuant to the Zambezi Resources Ltd Staff Option Scheme;

  • c) The terms and conditions of the options granted are set out in Appendix A and B respectively to this Explanatory Memorandum; and

  • d) The allottees are set out above.

  • e) No funds were raised by the issue and allotment of the options.

Directors’ Recommendation

The ratification of the issue of these options is keeping with the principles of the Company’s remuneration policy and further preserves the cash resources of the Company. At the same time the options provide an added incentive for key personnel to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment to the Company. The Board recommends the Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution as it also allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further equity securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.

RESOLUTION 7 – 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.

Therefore pursuant to resolution 7, 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.
