RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF PRIOR ISSUE OF ORDINARY SHARES
Resolution 3 is in respect of the issue of 5,173,293 ordinary fully paid shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without shareholder approval, a company must not issue or agree to issue new “equity securities” constituting more than 15% of its total ordinary shares on issue within a twelve (12) month period, excluding any issue of shares approved by shareholders.
However ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of securities made without the approval of shareholders to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provided the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.
Shareholder approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to approve the prior issue so that the Company retains its capacity to issue up to a full 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next twelve (12) months without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
-
(i) the total number of ordinary fully paid shares issued or to be issued is 5,173,293;
-
(ii) the issue price of the ordinary shares is A$0.13 per share;
-
(iii) the ordinary shares issued rank equally with the Company’s existing ordinary shares on issue;
-
(iv) on Friday, 21 January 2011, the Company’s Share Purchase Plan offer (“SPP”) to raise $1,700,000 closed to the market, raising $1,027,472. Subsequently, the Company was able to allot the shortfall in the SPP to a group of sophisticated investors raising an additional $672,528;
-
(v) the issuance of the Shares was to provide funding to advance the exploration of the Company’s Salmon Gums Gold Project and general working capital;
-
(vi) no related parties participated in the above equity security issues; and
-
(vii) the issue of the above equity securities when made did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF PRIOR ISSUE OF ORDINARY OPTIONS
Resolution 4 is in respect of the issue of 2,000,000 ordinary options, exercise price of $0.25 and expiry date of 31 December 2013.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without shareholder approval, a company must not issue or agree to issue new “equity securities” constituting more than 15% of its total ordinary shares on issue within a twelve (12) month period, excluding any issue of shares approved by shareholders.
However ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of securities made without the approval of shareholders to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provided the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and shareholders subsequently approve the issue.[[6 ]]
[[6 ]]
Shareholder approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to approve the prior issue so that the Company retains its capacity to issue up to a full 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next twelve (12) months without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
-
(viii) the total number of ordinary options issued or to be issued is 2,000,000;
-
(ix) the exercise price of the ordinary option is A$0.25 per share and expiry on 31 December 2013;

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
1.
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
2.
A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
