BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Company Secretary

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. RESOLUTION 1 - REMUNERATION REPORT
"That the Remuneration Report as set out in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 30 June
2014, be adopted."
Following changes to the Corporations Act 2001, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM's, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution ('spill resolution') that another meeting be held within
90 days at which all of the Company's directors (excluding the Managing Director) must offer themselves for re-election.
The Remuneration Report is for consideration and adoption by way of non-binding resolution. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
The Board considers that its current practices of setting executive and non executive remuneration are well within normal industry expectations, and provide an effective balance between the need to attract and retain the services of the highly skilled key management personnel that the Company requires. As such the directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Company's remuneration report at Resolution 2.
If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 2 by marking either For, Against or Abstain on the voting form.
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy, and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 2 on the proxy form you acknowledge that the Chairman will exercise your proxy, in line with his stated intention, even if he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies that are able to be voted in favour of the adoption of the remuneration report.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the GME Resources Limited Annual Report 2014 and is also
available on the Company's web site (www.gmeresources.com.au).
2. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF MICHAEL DELANEY PERROTT
"That Michael Delaney Perrott, who retires by rotation under Clause 21.3(2) of the Company's Constitution and being eligible, offers himself for re-election, is hereby re-elected as a Director of the Company."
Clause 21.3(2) of the Constitution of the Company provides that one-third of the Directors must retire at the Annual General Meeting and those Directors are then eligible for re-election. Accordingly Michael Delaney Perrott, having retired as a director, offers himself for re-election as a director in accordance with the Constitution of the Company.
The Directors recommend the approval of Resolution 2 to all Shareholders.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
1. A member 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 member'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 member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
3. 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:
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Important Information
Deadline for Receipt of proxies To be effective, a completed proxy form together with the power of attorney (if any) under which it is signed, must be received by the Company at its registered office not less than 48 hours before the appointed time of the General Meeting.
Where to send the completed Proxy Form Once the Proxy Form is completed and all details checked by you, the form is to be sent or delivered (by hand, post or facsimile) to:
Company Secretary
Office: Suite 8, 7 The Esplanade, Mt Pleasant WA 6153
Facsimile Number: (08) 9315 5475
