EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 22 Lindsay Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 at 10.00am (WST) on Wednesday, 25 January 2017.

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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES 1.1 General The Company signed a mandate with CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) ( CPS Capital ) to place up to 166,666,666 ordinary fully paid shares at $0.003 per share to sophisticated investors to raise approximately $500,000 ( Mandate )( Placement ).

Pursuant to the terms of the Mandate, the Placement is to be conducted via two tranches:

(a) 60,666,667 Shares to raise approximately $182,000 ( Tranche 1 Shares ); and

(b) 105,999,999 Shares to raise approximately $318,000 ( Tranche 2 Shares ). All Shares to be issued under the Placement are to sophisticated investors, none of whom are related parties or associates of the Company.

On 14 December 2016, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Shares pursuant to its capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares ( Ratification ).

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Shares under Resolution 2.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a 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 the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, 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.

1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 60,666,667 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the issue price of the Shares was $0.003 each;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors none of who are related parties or associates of the Company; and

  • (e) the Company used the funds raised from the issue for working capital.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

2.1 General

As noted above, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or longer period, if allowed by the ASX), without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 105,999,999;

4

  • (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 intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price of the Shares will be $0.003 each;

  • (d) the Shares to be 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;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued to sophisticated investors who will not be related parties or associates of the Company; and

  • (f) the Company will use the funds raised from the issue for working capital.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to “Valor Resources Limited”. The Board proposes this change of name on the basis that it more accurately reflects the proposed future operations of the Company.

  • If Resolution 3 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company and if Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC on completion of the Meeting.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL FOR SELECTIVE REDUCTION OF CAPITAL

4.1 Background

Section 4 of this Explanatory Statement relates to Resolution 4 of the Notice of General Meeting and to Resolution 1 of the Special General Meeting. Resolution 4 will only come into effect if Resolution 1 at the Special General Meeting is passed.

As announced on 19 December 2016, the Company has reached an agreement with the holders of the 90,000,000 Performance Shares on issue ( Performance Shareholders ) to cancel the Performance Shares that were issued to the Performance Shareholders ( Deed of Cancellation ). Refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated 19 December 2016 and the Company's notice of general meeting dated 2 April 2015 for further details.

The milestone events attaching to the Performance Shares have not been achieved and none of the Performance Shares have been converted into Shares.

The purpose of Resolution 4 is to seek the requisite approval of Shareholders required under the Corporations Act for the selective reduction and cancellation of the Performance Shares held by the Performance Shareholders ( Selective Capital Reduction ).

The effect of Resolution 4 will be a selective capital reduction and cancellation of 90,000,000 Performance Shares held by the Performance Shareholders. See Section 4.3 below for further details.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution, and therefore requires not less than 75% of all votes cast on the Resolution to be in favour of the Resolution for it to be passed.

4.2 Corporations Act Pursuant to Section 256C of the Corporations Act, a company may make a selective capital reduction if it is approved by a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person who is to receive consideration as part of the reduction or whose liability to pay amounts unpaid on shares is to be reduced.

The Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to a reduction of share capital are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

  • (a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the Company's insolvency;

  • (b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the Company; and

  • (c) requiring the Company to disclose all material information. In particular, Section 256B of the Corporations Act requires that a Company may only reduce its capital if:

  • (a) it is fair and reasonable to the shareholders as a whole;

(b) it does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors; and (c) it is approved by shareholders in accordance with Section 256C of the Corporations Act.

5

Section 256C(4) of the Corporations Act requires that the Company must include with the Notice a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the resolution. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to shareholders.

The Directors believe that the Selective Capital Reduction as proposed is fair and reasonable to Shareholders for the following reasons:

  • (a) the Selective Capital Reduction will only result in the cancellation of the Performance Shares issued to the Performance Shareholders;

  • (b) the Selective Capital Reduction will not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors and will have minimal financial effect on the Company; and

  • (c) the financial effect on cash reserves of the Selective Capital Reduction on the Company will be nil as no consideration is being provided for the Selective Capital Reduction.

The Directors do not consider that there are any material disadvantages to the Company undertaking the Selective Capital Reduction.

Pursuant to Section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act, a selective reduction of capital must be approved by either:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person who is to receive consideration as part of the reduction or whose liability to pay amounts unpaid on shares is to be reduced, or by their associates; or

  • (b) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting by all Shareholders.

The Special General Meeting being held after the General Meeting, which will see the Performance Shareholders vote on the Selective Capital Reduction, is being held for the purpose of meeting the approval requirements (subject to Resolution 4 being passed at the General Meeting).

4.3 Summary of and Effect of Proposed Selective Capital Reduction

The overall effect of the Selective Capital Reduction is to reduce the number of Performance Shares currently on issue from 90,000,000 to nil.

It is worth Shareholders noting that should the milestone events attaching to the Performance Shares have been met, the Performance Shares would have collectively convert into that number of Shares that equates to a value of $540,000 based on the higher of $0.006 or the 30 day volume weighted average price on that date being the last ASX trading day immediately prior to satisfaction of the milestones.

However, as the milestone events attaching to the Performance Shares have not been achieved and none of the Performance Shares have been converted into Shares, on completion of the Selective Capital Reduction of the Performance Shares, there will be no change to the control of the Company and the percentage of the Company owned by each Shareholder will remain the same.

4.4 Interests of Directors

The Directors do not have any material interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 other than as a result of their interest arising solely in the capacity as Shareholders. The Directors do not have any interest in any Performance Shares.

The Directors believe that the Selective Capital Reduction will not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors because following completion of the Selective Capital Reduction the Company will have sufficient cash reserves to meet its financial commitments.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as they consider the proposed reduction of capital to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of Shareholders.

4.5 Other Material Information

There is no information material to the making of a decision by a Shareholder whether or not to approve Resolution 4 being information that is known to any of the Directors and which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders, other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement.

Once Resolution 4 is passed by Shareholders and Resolution 1 of the Special General Meeting is passed by the Performance Shareholders, the Company will not make the reduction of capital until at least 14 days after lodgement of Resolution 4 with the ASIC.
