In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

·              each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;

·              the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and

·              a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.  If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member's votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

·              if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

·              any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

·              the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

·              if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution - the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

·              if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on - the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

·              if the proxy is not the chair - the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

·              an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

·              the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

·              at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

·              either of the following applies:

o      the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

o      the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

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 Level 1, 330 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 at 4:00 PM (WST) on Thursday, 17 December 2015.

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.

Any conversion of currency contained in this Notice is based on the exchange rate of 1 GBP: 2.13 AUD, which is the average of the buy and sell rates for GBP in Australian dollars as quoted at www.oanda.com on 6 November 2015. The Company notes that this exchange rate has been used as an indication only and the AUD/GBP exchange rate on the date of issue of Securities or exercise of Options will likely differ.  This will result in the funds raised as depicted in Australian dollars to also differ.

Unless otherwise stated all references to Securities in this Notice are on a pre-Consolidation basis.

1.                RESOLUTION 1 - Tranche 1 Placement - shares and options

1.1              Background to Placement

As announced on or around 12 November, the Company is undertaking a private placement of up to 317,240,000 Shares to raise up to £2,379,300 (AUD$5,075,840) at an issue price of 0.75 pence (AUD$0.016) per Share, together with one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued (Placement).

The Shares and Options will be issued to clients of Mirabaud Securities LLP (Mirabaud) and it is understood that one of these clients, Graham Edwards, will take up a substantial investment in the Company by subscribing for up to 220,000,000 Shares. Where the full 220,000,000 Shares are issued to Mr Edwards he will hold relevant interest amounting to 23.41% in the Company (assuming full subscription under the Placement and the completion of the issues pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 4 of this Notice), which will require shareholder approval pursuant to section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act (s611 Approval).

Accordingly, the Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 260,820,000 Shares and 130,410,000 Options (Tranche 1 Placement), with the remaining 56,420,000 Shares and 28,210,000 Options to be issued following the receipt of s611 Approval to be sought at an additional general meeting to be held in the coming months (Tranche 2 Placement).  

The Company confirms that no Shares will be issued under the Tranche 1 Placement to any party (including Mr Graham) where it would increase the party's Voting Power in the Company above 20% without the Company obtaining the appropriate shareholder approvals.

1.2              General

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.

The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares and Options pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement 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. 

1.3              Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement:

(a)               the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 260,820,000 and the maximum number of Options to be issued is 130,410,000;

(b)              the Shares and Options 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 and Options will occur on progressively;

(c)               the issue price will be 0.75 pence (AUD$0.016) per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on the basis of one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares issued under the Tranche 1 Placement;

(d)              the Shares and Options will be issued to clients of Mirabaud. None of these subscribers are related parties 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)               the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and

(g)              the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Tranche 1 Placement substantially towards the development of the Company's Arapua Fertilizer Project as well as consideration of other opportunities and general working capital. A more detailed use of funds is set out below (assuming the full £1,956,150 (AUD$4,173,120) is raised):

Notes:

1.         Based on exchange rate 1 GBP : 2.13 AUD

2.         To the extent the Company is not successful in raising the full £1,956,150 (AUD$4,173,120) and after adjusting for the expenses of the Tranche 1 Placement, any funds allocated to exploration will be scaled back accordingly.

3.         The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice.  As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied.  The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

1.4              Dilution

Assuming no Options are exercised or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Shares as set out above are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 562,671,666 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 823,491,666 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 31.67%.  Further, in the event all the Options issued pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement were exercised the number of Shares on issue would increase to 953,901,666 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 41.01%.

2.                Resolution 2 - Placement - options - in consideration for services provided

2.1              General

The Company has engaged the services of Mirabaud to manage and act as broker to the Placement.  The Company will pay Mirabaud a fee of 5% (exclusive of goods and services tax) on the amount raised under the Placement as well as issuing Mirabaud up to 9,517,200 Options that will be exercisable at 0.75 pence (AUD$0.016) within 5 years from the date of issue (Broker Options).

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.

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 Broker Options 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              Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Broker Options:

(a)               the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 9,517,200;

(b)              the Broker Options 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 Broker Options will occur on the same date;

(c)               the Broker Options will be issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction of services provided by Mirabaud in relation to the Placement; 

(d)              the Broker Options will be issued to Mirabaud (or its nominees), who are not related parties of the Company;

(e)               the Broker Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2; and

(f)               no funds will be raised from the issue of Broker Options as the Broker Options are being issued in consideration for services provided by Mirabaud in relation to the Placement. 

3.                Resolution 3 - ratification of prior issue OF shares

3.1              General

Under the terms of the Sergi Potash Project Agreement the Company is to issue 60,000,000 Shares on achieving a JORC inferred reserve of a minimum of 25 million tons at a minimum grade of more than 10 per cent. This milestone was achieved and accordingly on or around 16 November 2015 the Company issued 30,000,000 Shares to KMINE Holding Ltd and 30,000,000 Shares to Americas Investments & Participation Limited for part consideration for the 100% conditional acquisition of Sergi Potash Project.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to ratify the issue of the 60,000,000 Shares (Ratification).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 above.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.  It provides that, where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (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 the subject of Resolution 3, 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.

3.2              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)              a total of 60,000,000 Shares were issued;

(b)              the Shares were issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction for part consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Sergi Potash Project in Brazil;

(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 KMINE Holding Ltd and Americas Investments & Participation Limited who are not related parties or associates of the Company; and

(e)              no funds were raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares were issued in consideration for part consideration of 100% conditional acquisition of the Sergi Potash Project in Brazil.

4.                RESOLUTION 4 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

4.1              General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 30,000,000 (pre-Consolidation) Shares to KMINE Holding Ltd and 30,000,000 (pre-Consolidation) Shares to Americas Investments & Participation Limited for part consideration for the 100% conditional acquisition of Sergi Potash Project in Brazil.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the 60,000,000 Shares 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.

4.2              Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Under and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares under Resolution 4:

(c)               the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction for part consideration for the 100% acquisition of the Sergi Potash Project in Brazil;

(d)              the Shares will be issued to KMINE Holding Ltd and Americas Investments & Participation Limited, none of whom are related parties of the Company and the Company confirms that no Shares will be issued to any party where it would increase the party's Voting Power in the Company above 20%;

(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; and

(f)               no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares are being issued in consideration for part consideration of 100% conditional acquisition of the Sergi Potash Project in Brazil.

5.                resolution 5 - consolidation of capital

5.2              Legal requirements

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

5.3              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 10.  Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.

5.4              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 neither the Company, nor the Deed Administrator (nor the Deed Administrator's advisers) accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

5.5              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).
