Zambezi Resources Limited Company No. (Bermuda) 35116 ARBN 124 462 826

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of 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 Monday, 2 December 2013 commencing at 8.00 am ADT and 8.00 pm WST (Perth) .

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

1 RESOLUTION 1 – INCREASE OF AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL UNDER BERMUDA LAW

Clause 52.3 of the Company’s Bye-Laws and Section 45(1)(a) of the Bermuda Companies Act permits the Company to increase its share capital if authorised by a resolution of the Shareholders.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from 1,500,000,000 Shares to 25,000,000,000 Shares.

The Company currently has 2,433,467,216 Shares and 36,500,000 Options on issue.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company is able to issue up to 23,500,000,000 Shares (pre Consolidation). If all of these Shares are issued and all of the current Options on issue are exercised, the number of Shares on issue would exceed the number of Shares permitted under the Company’s current authorised share capital.

The Directors consider that the proposed increase in the Company’s authorised share capital is appropriate in order to allow the Company to create capacity for the Company to issue securities if required in the future within its authorised capacity.

Shareholders should note that the concept of the Company’s authorised share capital is a Bermuda law concept and is mutually exclusive from the ASX Listing Rules. Any future issues of securities made by the Company will still be subject to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors' recommendation

The directors of the Company recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2 RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

2.1 Proposed subsequent shareholder approval

Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of new securities that a company can issue over any 12 month period without shareholder approval ( 15% Placement Capacity ). ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company to seek the subsequent approval of shareholders for an issue of securities that was made within the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. Shareholder approval of securities issued under the Placement refreshes the Company's 15% annual capacity to raise additional capital without the need to obtain shareholder approval. This provides additional funding flexibility for the Company.

2.2 Effect of the proposal

If Resolution 2 is approved, the Company will not have to count the securities issued under the Placement towards its 15% Placement Capacity. Accordingly, if Resolution 2 is passed, the Company's annual capacity to issue capital within its 15% Placement Capacity (in respect of the Placement, being 247,428,000 Shares) will be refreshed. The Directors of the Company consider it prudent to maintain such funding flexibility as part of the Company’s capital management strategy.

If Resolution 2 is not approved, it will have no effect upon the Shares issued. However the Shares will count towards the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, details of the issues are set out below.

The Company issued 247,428,000 Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis or 2,474,280 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis) as follows:-

  • (a) the Company issued 168,900,000 Shares to Mr Robert John McPherson;

  • (b) the Company issued 68,175,000 Shares to Mr Willie Rutherlain Sweta; and

  • (c) the Company issued 10,353,000 Shares to Mr Borniface Ng’uni;

  • (d) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.001;

  • (e) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing shares.

2.3 Use of funds raised

The funds raised from the Placement were used for general working capital purposes, to specifically repay existing aged creditors and monthly overhead obligations and commitments by the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation

In order to ensure that the Company has adequate funding flexibility, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3 RESOLUTION 3 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

3.1 Background

The Directors are seeking Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares and Options on issue on a one (1) for one hundred (100) basis ( Consolidation ).

The purpose of the Consolidation is to reduce the number of Shares and Options on issue, to correspondingly increase the imputed value of each Share and Option, to make the investment in the Company’s securities more attractive to institutional and other investors and to position the Company for long term growth.

Resolution 3 is conditional on Resolution 1 in this Notice of Meeting being approved.

3.2 Legal requirements

Section 45 of the Companies Act provides that a company may, by a resolution passed in a general meeting of shareholders and its bye-laws, consolidate all or any of its shares into a smaller number of shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.22 also requires that the number of options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

3.3 Holding statement and option certificates

From the date of the Consolidation all holding statements or certificates, as applicable, for Shares and Options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of post-Consolidation Shares and Options. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements or certificates, as applicable, to be issued to Shareholders and Optionholders.

It is the responsibility of each Shareholder and Optionholder to check the number of Shares and Options held prior to any disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

3.4 Fractional entitlements and taxation

Not all Shareholders and Optionholders will hold that number of Shares and Options, which can be evenly divided by one hundred (100). Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Directors will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share or Option and issue the whole Share or Option as a fully paid bonus Share or Option, fully paid up by the Company.

It is not considered that any taxation consequences will exist for Shareholders or Optionholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders and Optionholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation, and neither the Company, nor the Directors (or the Company’s advisers) accept any liability for the individual taxation consequences arising from the Consolidation.

3.5 Effect on capital structure

If Resolution 3 is passed, the number of Shares on issue will be reduced from 2,443,820,216 to approximately 24,438,202. The number of Options on issue will be reduced from 36,500,000 to approximately 365,000 and the exercise price of the Options will be increased by a multiple of one hundred (100).

The effect the Consolidation will have on the issued capital of the Company is as follows (ignoring the effect of fractional entitlements):

Pre-consolidation Pre-consolidation Post-consolidation Post-consolidation
Resolution & Issue
Shares Options Shares Options
Current capitalstructure 2,443,820,216 36,500,000(1) 24,438,202 365,000(2)

Notes:

  • (1) On a pre-Consolidation basis, this consists of 2,000,000 unlisted options expiring 11 January 2014 exercisable at A$0.04 each, 2,000,000 unlisted options expiring 11 January 2014 exercisable at A$0.05 each, 2,500,000 unlisted options expiring 30 June 2014 exercisable at A$0.01 each and 30,000,000 unlisted options expiring 17 October 2015 exercisable at A$0.0044 each.

  • (2) On a post-Consolidation basis, this consists of 20,000 unlisted options expiring 11 January 2014 exercisable at A$4.00 each, 20,000 unlisted options expiring 11 January 2014 exercisable at A$5.00 each, 25,000 unlisted options expiring 30 June 2014 exercisable at A$1.00 each and 300,000 unlisted options expiring 17 October 2015 exercisable at A$0.44 each.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the effect the Consolidation will have on the authorised capital of the Company will be that the par value of the Company’s shares increases from £0.01 to £1.00 and reduces the authorized share capital from 25,000,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares.

3.6 Timetable

The indicative timetable for the Consolidation is as follows:

4 RESOLUTION 4 - REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITAL UNDER BERMUDA LAWS BY WAY OF A PAR VALUE REDUCTION

The Company’s authorised share capital (post Consolidation) will be £2,500,000, and is represented by 250,000,000 Shares each with a par value £$1.00.

In order to provide the Company with the ability to issue additional Shares below the par value of £1.00, the Directors wish to obtain Shareholder approval for the reduction of the Company’s authorised share capital.

Pursuant to Resolution 4, the par value of both the Company’s issued shares and the Company’s authorised but unissued shares shall be reduced from £1.00 to £0.01.

Shareholders should note that if Resolution 4 is approved, the proposed capital reduction will not change the number of issued and paid-up Shares held by, or the percentage interest of shareholding of each Shareholder. The par value of all Shares on issue and those issued in the future will have a par value of £0.01 and will each rank pari passu in all respects with each other. Approval of Resolution 4 will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company.

The Company’s shares are fully paid and consequently the proposed capital reduction will not involve the diminution of any liability in respect of unpaid share capital. It will also not result in a return of any share capital or other assets to Shareholders.

Directors' recommendation

The directors of the Company recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5 RESOLUTIONS 5 to 6 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Messrs Frank Vanspeybroeck and Marinko Vidovich were appointed as Directors on 31 May 2013.

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, Messrs Vanspeybroeck and Vidovich submit themselves for election.

The Company is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 14.5 to hold an election of Directors each year.

Resolution 5 seeks approval for the election of Mr Frank Vanspeybroeck as a Director with effect from the end of the meeting.

6 RESOLUTION 7 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

7 RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 7.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 8 for it to be passed.

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital in addition to those under the Eligible Entity's 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of A$300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of A$2,433,467.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: ZRL).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1 A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) - E

20 11 13 (Final Signed) NOM - Total

12

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4

7.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 8:

  • (a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 5.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1 A ceases to be valid); or

20 11 13 (Final Signed) NOM - Total

13

(iii) such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Capacity Period).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice (pre-Consolidation).

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Funds raised A$244,382 A$488,764 A$977,528

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 2,433,467,216 shares on issue as at 7 November 2013.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the

20 11 13 (Final Signed) NOM - Total

ASX on 6 November 2013.

  1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  2. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  3. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  4. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the continuation and acceleration of exploration on the Company's Kangaluwi Copper Project in Zambia (funds would then be used for project scoping studies and ongoing project administration) and general working capital; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the same purposes as above but in which circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

20 11 13 (Final Signed) NOM - Total

15

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 20 December 2012. In the 12 months preceding the date of this notice, the Company has issued 397,428,000 shares representing 16.2% of the shares on issue at the commencement of that period.
