DATED: 20 MARCH 2015

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

PAULA COWAN

COMPANY SECRETARY

E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

1.1 Background

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Securities on issue on a one (1) for twenty (20) basis ( Consolidation ).

If Resolution 1 is passed, and assuming no new Securities are issued before the Consolidation takes effect:

(a) Shares on issue will be reduced from 1,749,121,562 to 87,456,078 (subject to rounding); and (b) Options on issue will be reduced from 102,510,539 to 5,125,527 ( subject to rounding).

See Section 1.6 for further information.

6

1.2 Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

The Company has Options on issue. Listing Rule 7.22.1 provides that upon a consolidation of capital, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

1.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all Security holders will hold that number of Shares or Options (as the case may be) which can be evenly divided by 20. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security. 1.4 Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Security holders arising from the Consolidation. However, Security holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company does not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

1.5 Holding statements

From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Consolidation basis.

After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities.

It is the responsibility of each Security holder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

1.6 Effect on capital structure

The proposed capital structure of the Company upon completion of the Consolidation is set out below.

Shares Number
Current Shares (assuming no options are exercised or other shares issued

(CJCOA)

Post 1:20 Consolidation 5,125,5271

Note:

2. RESOLUTION 2 - ISSUE OF SHARES – RD CONSULTING LTD 2.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 9,350,000 Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to RD Consulting Ltd (or its nominee) for part consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Salobo South Copper Project in Brazil.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue 9,350,000 Shares to RD Consulting Ltd (or its nominee) during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

2.2

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares to RD Consulting Ltd:

(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 9,350,000 (each on a post-Consolidation basis);

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on or around the same day as the Meeting;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction for part consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Salobo South Copper Project in Brazil;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to RD Consulting Ltd (or its nominee), who is not a related party of the Company; (e) the Shares issued 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;

  • (f) as noted in 2.2(c), no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in connection with Resolution 2.

  • 2.3 Conditional Resolution

Resolution 2 is conditional on the approval of Resolution 1. Consequently, if Resolution 1 is not approved, Resolution 2 will not be approved.

  • 2.4 Directors' recommendation

The directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS 3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue An aggregate total of 30,000,000 Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 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 Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company pursuant to section 228(6) of the Corporations Act. The issue of Shares to the Related Parties under Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 is a financial benefit. The Directors who do not have a material person interest in Resolutions 3 to 5 (being Messrs De Almeida and Tumur) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Shares to the Related Parties as the Shares are a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration. The non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operation than it would if alternative, cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms and within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

However, 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 a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Shares to the Related Parties pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11 Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 to 5:

(a) the related parties are Messrs Wood, McMaster and Von Schirnding and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 3 to 5 is an aggregate total of 30,000,000 Shares to be issued as follows:

(i) 10,000,000 Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Brian McMaster, pursuant to Resolution 3; (ii) 10,000,000 Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Matthew Wood, pursuant to Resolution 4; and (iii) 10,000,000 Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Nick Von Schirnding, pursuant to Resolution 5;

8

(c)
the Shares will be issued to Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding 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 Shares will be issued on one date;
(d)
the Shares will be granted for nil cash consideration to each of Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding
as they are issued to compensate each of them for the minimal cash remuneration provided for their roles as
Directors;
(e)
the Shares will have the same terms and conditions as the existing Shares; and
(f)
a voting exclusion statements has been included in the Notice in connection with Resolutions 3 to 5.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to each of Messrs McMaster, Wood
and Von Schirnding, as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to each
of Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual
placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
3.4 Conditional Resolutions
Resolutions 3 to 5 are conditional on the approval of Resolution 1. Consequently, if Resolution 1 is not approved, none of
Resolutions 3 to 5 will be approved.
4. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
4.1 General
The Company seeks Shareholder approval to create the Performance Shares as a new class of shares in the Company
on the terms and conditions in Schedule 1.
Under clause 22.1 of the Company’s Constitution and, subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the
Constitution, the Company may allot and issue unissued shares in the Company on any terms, at any time and for any
consideration as the Directors resolve.
Section 246C(5) of the Corporations Act provides that if a company has one class of share and seeks to issue a new class
of share, such issue is taken to vary the rights attached to shares already issued.
Under section 246B(1) of the Corporations Act, if a company has a constitution which sets out the procedure for varying
or cancelling (in the case of a company with share capital) rights attached to shares in a class of shares, those rights may
be varied or cancelled only in accordance with the procedure.
In accordance with clause 32.5 of the Constitution, subject to the terms of issue of shares in a particular class, the
Company may vary or cancel rights attached to shares in that class by an ordinary resolution of the Company passed at
a meeting of the members holding shares in that class.
Accordingly, the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of the Performance Shares as a new class of
shares on the terms set out in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The Company will also seek Shareholder approval in Resolution 7 to 9 to issue Performance Shares to certain individuals.
4.2 Conditional Resolution
Resolution 6 is conditional on the approval of Resolutions 7 to 9. Consequently, if any of Resolution 7 to 9 are not
approved, Resolution 6 will not be approved.
5. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 - ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE SHARES TO DIRECTORS
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue an aggregate total of 90,000,000
Performance Shares (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von Schirnding (Related
Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below.
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11
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 Performance Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs McMaster, Wood and Von
Schirnding are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company pursuant to section 228(6) of
the Corporations Act.

The issue of Performance Shares to the Related Parties under Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 is a financial benefit. The Directors who do not have a material person interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 to 9 (being Messrs De Almeida and Tumur) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Performance Shares to the Related Parties as the Performance Shares are a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration. The non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operation than it would if alternative, cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms and within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

However, 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 a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Performance Shares to the Related Parties pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Consequently, if Resolution 6 is not approved, none of Resolutions 7 to 9 will be approved. 6. RESOLUTION 10 – ADOPTION OF CARAJAS EMPLOYEE OPTION PLAN 6.1 General Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to adopt the Carajas Employee Option Plan ( Plan ), to provide ongoing incentives to key employees, consultants and officers of the Company. If Resolution 10 is passed, the Plan will enable the Company to issue options to employees, consultants and officers of the Company ( Employee Options ) and to issue Shares to those employees, consultants and officers, if they choose to exercise their Employee Options. In the case of a Director, no Employee Options may be issued to the Director without express Shareholder approval of the numbers and terms of the Employee Options. 6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is summarized above in Section 2.1. An exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval is sought to adopt the Plan in accordance with Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and to enable the Company to subsequently grant the Employee Options under the Plan, without having to obtain Shareholder approval each time the Company wishes to issue securities which exceed the 15% limit contained in Listing Rule 7.1 and do not otherwise fall within one of the nominated Listing Rule exemptions.

In the case of a Director, no Employee Options may be issued to the Director without express Shareholder approval of the numbers and terms of the Employee Options.

An exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Employee Options are issued under the terms of the Plan. A copy of the full terms of the Plan may be obtained upon request to the Company Secretary. A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, information is provided as follows:

7. RESOLUTIONS 11 TO 15 - ISSUE OF EMPLOYEE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS – BRIAN MCMASTER, MATTHEW WOOD, NICK VON SCHIRNDING, ANTONIO JOSE DE ALMEIDA AND GEORGE TUMUR 7.1 General Resolutions 11 to 15 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the grant of an aggregate total of 25,000,0000 Employee Options (each on a post-Consolidation basis) to Messrs McMaster, Wood, Von Schirnding, Almeida and Tumur (or their respective nominee/s) ( Director Employee Option Recipients ) under the Plan.

10

The Board considers that this grant of Employee Options to the Director Employee Option Recipients would be a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to make to appropriately incentivise the Director Employee Option Recipients continued performance, and is consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.

In determining the remuneration packages of the Director Employee Option Recipients, including the proposed issue of Employee Options under the Plan, the Board considered the scope of each of the Directors’ role, the business challenges facing the Company and market practice for the remuneration of officers in positions of similar responsibility. Refer to Schedule 2 for a summary of the key terms the Plan and to Schedule 3 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the Employee Options.

Resolutions 11 to 15 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 11 to 15. If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on any of 11 to 15, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though Resolutions 11 to 15 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

7.2 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. Without an exception, the issue of the Employee Options to the Related Parties requires Shareholder approval because: (a) the issue of the Employee Options constitutes giving a financial benefit; and (b) the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the Employee Options to the Director Employee Option Recipients (or their respective nominees).

7.3 Listing Rule 10.14

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must not permit a Director and any of his associates to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains Shareholder approval. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, as Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

  • (e) the persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who are entitled to participate in the plan are all Directors, being, as at the date of the Notice, Messrs Brian McMaster, Matthew Wood, Nick Von Schirnding, Antonio Jose De Almeida and George Tumur;

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 11 to 15; (g) no loans are being provided in respect of the issue of the issue of the Employee Options to the Director Employee Option Recipients

George Tumur 28,094 -

(m) if the Employee Options which are proposed to be issued to the Director Employee Option Recipients pursuant to Resolutions 11 to 15 are exercised, a total of 25,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 126,806,078 to 151,806,078 (assuming Resolutions 1 to 5 are passed, that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 16.47%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Employee Options would normally determine whether or not the Employee Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Employee Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Employee Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

(n) Under the accounting standard AASB 2 share based payments, the Company will recognise an expense in the income statement based on the fair value of the Options over the period from the date of issue to the vesting date. The total of the fair value of the Options issued is $361,425.55 at the date of the Notice;

12

  - (i) the issue of Employee Options to the Related Parties (or their respective nominee/s) will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  - (ii) the issue of Employee Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operation that it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and

  • (v) Mr George Tumur declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 15 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution 15 on the basis that Mr George Tumur is to be granted Employee Options in the Company should Resolution 15 be passed.

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at a General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish.
