Where more than one proxy is appointed each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes in which case any fraction of votes will be disregarded.

Any corporation which is a member of the Company may authorise (by certificate under common seal or other form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the chairperson of the Meeting) a natural person to act as its representative at any general meeting.
The person chairing the meeting (the Chair) will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all of the proposed resolutions.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum (“this Memorandum”) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of General Meeting to be held at Giorgio’s Function Room, 1235 High Street, Armadale on Friday 3 May 2013 at 10.30am (Melbourne, Victoria time). The Notice of General Meeting incorporates, and should be read together with, this Memorandum.
BACKGROUND
In early 2011 it was considered that the then limited activities of the Company did not warrant or justify the appointment of a managing director or chief executive officer and the associated cost. Executive functions were assumed by the Chairman, Mr Michael Quinert and a non‐executive director, Mr Vincent Savage. Mr Tim Chapman (General Manager – Corporate) and Mr Trevor Neale (Chief Geologist) were also involved in the management of the Company. The remuneration set at that time reflected the then anticipated activities of the Company and the relatively limited amount of involvement that would be required of these individuals to fulfil essentially supervisory rather than direct hands‐on roles.
Over the following two years the requirements of the Company increased substantially. As a result, a greater level and range of services and devotion of more time to the needs of the Company were required.
In early 2012 the Company sought to commence its program to develop the Derewo River Gold Project in Papua Province Indonesia, however was unable to do so due to site access being prevented by illegal artisanal mining groups. The Company’s restricted access to Derewo meant that its anticipated commencement of alluvial mining by the end of the first quarter of 2012 could not be achieved. As a result, the Company faced a shortage of working capital. This necessitated the acceleration of the Company’s plans to sell its Randfontein assets in South Africa. Negotiation and settlement of this transaction was the primary responsibility of Mr Quinert who was assisted by Mr Chapman. Finalisation of the sale of the Randfontein assets took over 9 months. The funds raised by the sale of the Randfontein assets were vital in enabling the Company to progress with its project at Derewo and to ensure the ongoing access to working capital.
Regaining access at Derewo occurred in late 2012 and was the result of a broad and significant program of interaction with Indonesian government at all levels, primarily facilitated by Mr Savage with the assistance of Mr Neale. This interaction included developing and maintaining strong links with various agencies including Presidential advisors, police, Indonesian Mines Department, Indonesian Attorney General’s Department, the Human Rights Commission and many others. Mr Savage also developed strong links with the Australian Embassy in Jakarta and the International Crisis Group.
During that time, having regard to the Company’s overall position in general and its financial resources in particular, it was not considered appropriate to recruit and retain a new CEO or other executive personnel. Mr Quinert, Mr Savage, Mr Chapman and Mr Neale each increased their involvement in the day to day activities of the Company. As a result the Company was able to avoid substantial outlays which would have otherwise been incurred if additional personnel or consultants were appointed.
As a consequence it became necessary for Mr Quinert, Mr Savage, Mr Chapman and Mr Neal to reduce or discontinue their involvement in other activities outside the Company. This in turn meant that they were unable to pursue or generate income from other opportunities which were available
‐ 2 ‐
to them. Those activities and opportunities would have been consistent with the level of attention and activity which had initially been anticipated to be required.
This greater involvement in the day to day activities of the Company also required frequent travel to South Africa and Indonesia in connection with the Company's activities, whereas it had been anticipated that this would only be required occasionally in connection with the initially envisaged supervisory roles.
The Company benefited from the protection and advancement of the Company’s interests in those countries by personnel who were already closely involved in and aware of the Company’s circumstances and the transactions it was undertaking. However, absences from Australia necessitated by this additional travel also reduced the ability of the individuals to pursue other opportunities outside the Company.
The Company is currently dependent on four key management personnel to facilitate the development of its mining projects in both South Africa and Indonesia. Both the projects in South Africa and Indonesia required and still require significantly expanded efforts and additional responsibilities to be taken on by each of the key management personnel. However, there has been no recognition of these efforts through remuneration, due to the financial constraints of the Company.
It is considered appropriate, now the Company has substantially completed the transactions and realised significant financial and other benefits from them, that the individuals involved receive bonuses in recognition of their achievements and the substantially greater than initially expected level of attention and activity required over the past two years. In determining the bonus amounts, regard has been had in particular to the amounts which would otherwise have been required to be paid to additional personnel or consultants if Mr Quinert, Mr Savage, Mr Chapman and Mr Neale had not been prepared to direct their time and attention to the Company, rather than pursuing other opportunities which were available to them. At the same time, their willingness to provide the services and incur the inconvenience caused by additional responsibilities and travel despite the Company not being in a position to provide commensurate additional remuneration at the time is recognised. It is considered that the continued availability of Mr Quinert, Mr Savage, Mr Chapman and Mr Neale to the Company, including their accumulated knowledge of and experience with the Company’s activities, will assist the Company greatly and be of continuing value in the future.
Payment of bonuses rather than increasing base remuneration arrangements is also considered to be preferable and appropriate as the Company’s future requirements may not be as great. Not increasing base remuneration is therefore seen as aligning the Company's expectations for the future with maintaining rather than increasing ongoing remuneration rates.
At this point in time, the Company does not want to use its cash resources to increase the remuneration of these key management personnel. It however the Company seeks to recognise these efforts through a one‐off bonus. As such, the Company’s Board has approved a bonus pool of $400,000 to be awarded to Mr Quinert and Mr Savage ($150,000 each) and Mr Neale and Mr Chapman ($50,000 each), payable through the allotment of ordinary shares in the Company based on the 90 day VWAP price for the Company’s shares.
Whilst the bonuses would be paid in a single year, it is also considered appropriate by the Company that the bonuses should be viewed as reflecting benefits obtained by it from the high level of involvement of the individuals over a two year period and therefore the appropriate comparison would be on an annualised rather than single year basis.

RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – MR TIM CHAPMAN
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of 2,777,778 shares to Mr Tim Chapman or his nominee.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the prior issue of 2,777,778 shares to Mr Tim Chapman or his nominee, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) The number of securities previously issued was 2,777,778 shares;
-
(b) The issue price of the shares was 1.8 cents ($0.018) per share, calculated by reference to the 90 day VWAP of the Company’s shares;
-
(c) The shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the Company having the same terms and rights as, and ranking equally with, the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary shares;
-
(d) The shares were issued to Mr Tim Chapman of his nominee;
-
(e) There were no funds raised by the issue of the shares to Mr Chapman as the shares were issued for remunerative purposes in lieu of payment by the Company of a cash bonus to Mr Chapman.
RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – MR TREVOR NEALE
Resolution 2 seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of 2,777,778 shares to Mr Trevor Neale or his nominee.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the prior issue of 2,777,778 shares to Mr Trevor Neale or his nominee, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
‐ 4 ‐
-
(a) The number of securities previously issued was 2,777,778 shares;
-
(b) The issue price of the shares was 1.8 cents ($0.018) per share, calculated by reference to the 90 day VWAP of the Company’s shares;
-

RESOLUTIONS 3 & 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO TWO DIRECTORS
ASX Listing Rules
Resolutions 3 and 4 are proposed to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of shares to directors of the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, by obtaining shareholder approval sought through this resolution, the Company retains the ability to issue further shares or options of up to 15% of its ordinary shares under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules to take advantage of opportunities to obtain further funds if required and available in the future.
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions to this requirement in section 208 apply or the Company’s shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.
In the case of Resolutions 3 and 4 below, the issue of the relevant shares to Mr Quinert and Mr Savage constitutes a ‘financial benefit’ as defined in the Corporations Act.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company (such as a Director) and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:
-
the circumstances of the company; and
-
the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The Company considers that the proposed issue of shares to Mr Quinert and Mr Savage the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4 is reasonable remuneration and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the Company has considered the additional responsibilities that each of Mr Quinert and Mr Savage took on in the past two years and other matters described under the heading the Background on page 1 of this Memorandum.
Resolution 3 – Approval to issue of shares to a Director – Mr Michael Quinert
‐ 5 ‐
Resolution 3 is proposed to obtain shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 8,333,333 ordinary shares to Mr Michael Quinert (or his nominee), a director of the Company.
