EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.
Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report on its website at www.carajascopper.com.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2016.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting Consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the directors’ report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediate before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or reelection as directors is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3
Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the election of Ms Paula Cowan, Mr Mark Reilly and Mr Gregory Wood and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 to 4
4. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that:
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
- (b) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
As at the date of this Notice, 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 $2,750,416 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2016.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
9
4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder Approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CJC).
(c) Formulae for calculating 10% Placement Capacity
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid shares that become fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under the Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.3 Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
10
4.4 10% Placement Period
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:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting at which approval is obtained; or
-
(b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main understanding) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
4.5 Specific Information required in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A
- (a) 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 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Shares on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current issue price.

*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 pro-rata 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:
-
There are currently 677,666,538 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting comprising:
-
(a) 392,916,518 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting; and (b) 284,750,020 Shares which will be issued if Resolutions 7-12 (inclusive) are passed at this Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2016.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
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.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
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.
12
(b) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised for an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity.
(c) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity.
The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can 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 situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The recipients of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
- (d) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting held on 26 November 2015.
The Company has issued no Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2015, the Company otherwise issued a total of 256,249,904 Shares which represents approximately 187.50% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company at 30 November 2015 which was 136,666,614.
13
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.
(e)
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
5. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES
5.1 General
The Company has signed a mandate with CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) ( CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ) to place up to 66,666,667 Shares at $0.003 per Shares to raise approximately $200,000 ( Mandate ) ( Placement ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in an Annual General Meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

9. RESOLUTIONS 10 TO 12 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES –MR DAVID WHEELER, MR GUISEPPE GRAZIANO AND MS NICOLE FERNANDES
9.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 36,000,000 Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Mr David Wheeler, Mr Guiseppe Graziano and Ms Nicole Fernandes (or their respective nominee/s) ( Related Parties ) in order to satisfy a portion of the outstanding debt owed to the Related Parties.
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of:
-
(a) Mr David Wheeler was Director of the Company within the last 6 months;
-
(b) Mr Guiseppe Graziano was a Director of the Company within the last 6 months; and
-
(c) Ms Nicole Fernandes was Director of the Company within the last 6 months.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Shares under Resolutions 10 to 12 because the Related Party Shares will be issued in order to satisfy a portion of the outstanding debt owed to the Related Parties, as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
9.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or
17
a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the Related Party Shares will be issued to the Related Parties in order to satisfy a portion of the outstanding debt owed to the Related Parties it is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
9.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 10 to 12:
-
(a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to Mr David Wheeler, Mr Guiseppe Graziano and Ms Nicole Fernandes;

-
(ii) 12,000,000 Shares to Mr Guiseppe Graziano; and
-
(iii) 12,000,000 Shares to Ms Nicole Fernandes (or her nominee).
-
(c) the Related Party Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Shares will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Related Party Shares will be issued with a deemed issue price of $0.003 per Shares, the same as those Shares issued under the Placement;
-
(e) the Related Party Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration in order to satisfy a portion of the outstanding debt owed to the Related Parties , accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(f) the Related Party Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(g) approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Shares to the Related Party as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Party will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
