How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post or by facsimile.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting.
Voting by a Corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the meeting.
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
A proxy need not be a shareholder.
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.
Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the shareholder's behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
To be effective, proxies must be lodged by 5.00pmWST on 14 April 2013being 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxies lodged after this time will be invalid.
Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:
- by returning a completed proxy form in person or by post using the pre-addressed envelope provided with this Notice to:
Security Transfer Registrars
PO BOX 535
APPLECROSS WA 6953
Australia
- by faxing a completed proxy form to
+61 8 9315 2233.
The proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the power of attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 5.00pm WST on 14
April 2013 . If facsimile transmission is used, the power of attorney must be certified.
Shareholders who are entitled to vote
In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 5.00pm WST on 14 April 2013.

RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES
As announced on 15 February 2013, the Company is undertaking a capital raising comprising:
a placement of 52,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share to raise $2,100,000 (Placement); and
an underwritten entitlement offer of 56,800,692
Shares on the basis of 1 Share for every 9
Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share to raise approximately $2,272,028 less expenses (Offer).
The funds raised under the Placement and Offer will provide the Company with the necessary funds to conduct further exploration at the Balogo and Sebba projects; complete a definitive feasibility study for the Netiana Lodes at Balogo (subject to the results of the scoping study); provide for the initial acquisition costs in respect of a 90% interest in the Korongou project and exploration at the Korongou project, including a maiden RC drilling program; and provide working capital.
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company's maximum discretionary power to issue further shares up to
15% of the issued capital of the Company without requiring Shareholder approval.
Pursuant to Resolution 1, the Directors are seeking ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of
52,500,000 Shares that was made on 21 February
2013 in order to restore the right of the Company to issue further shares within the 15% limit during the next 12 months.
The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
(a) 52,500,000 Shares were allotted and issued;
(b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of
$0.04 each;
(c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue;
(d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investor clients of Patersons Securities Limited, all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company; and
(e) funds raised from the Placement and the Offer will provide the Company with the necessary funds to conduct further exploration at the Balogo and Sebba projects; complete a definitive feasibility study for the Netiana Lodes at Balogo (subject to the results of the scoping study); provide for the initial acquisition costs in respect of a 90% interest in the Korongou project and exploration at the Korongou project, including a maiden RC drilling program; and provide working capital.
