Dear Shareholder 

Notice of annual general meeting

Thor Mining plc ("Thor" or "the Company") is pleased to invite you to its annual general meeting to be held at the offices of Grant Thornton UK LLP, 30 Finsbury Square, London EC2P 2YU, United Kingdom on 6^th November 2014 at 11.00 a.m. (London time) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing of the resolutions contained in the notice.

In addition to the usual resolutions which are considered at an annual general meeting I would like to draw your attention to resolutions 9to 13 and 16.  None of the directors of the Company have been paid any part of their approved remuneration of A$40,000 per annum since 1 January 2014.  As a means of conserving the Company's cash reserves, all the directors including myself, have agreed to waive our right to cash remuneration for the period from 1^st January 2014 to 30^th September 2014 (inclusive) in substitution for shares in the Company.  Further, we have agreed that our fees are to be discounted by 25% for the period from 1^st January 2014 to 30^th September 2014 (delivering a total reduction of A$37,500, or A$7,500 per director), and for those fees to be paid by way of ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of A$0.0029 (0.29 cents) per Ordinary Share.

In my capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, I have also agreed to waive my right to be paid in cash remuneration for approximately 50% of the value of fees owed to me from 1 October 2013 to 31 August 2014 inclusive, in substitution for Ordinary Shares (50% having been paid, or to be paid, in cash).

Resolutions 9 to 13 and 16 seek shareholder approval for the issue of the Ordinary Shares to directors in lieu of cash remuneration.

Resolutions 5, 14 and 16 provide the directors with the appropriate authorities, respectively, to issue shares and dis-apply pre-emption rights for existing shareholders and it is the normal procedure for such authority to be renewed at the annual general meeting. The figures inserted at resolutions 5, 14 and 16 take account of the number of shares which are proposed to be issued:

·      in lieu of cash remuneration as detailed at resolutions 9 to 13 which are required under the ASX Rules;

·      in relation to the acquisition of the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project, as detailed in resolutions 7 and 8.  These resolutions are only required if the acquisition is not completed prior to 31 October 2014, being the expiry of the previous shareholder approval granted on 31 July 2014.  The resolutions will be withdrawn if the acquisition is finalised by 31 October 2014; and

·      the number of shares the Company may seek to issue throughout the year until the next annual general meeting.

Resolutions 5, 14 and 16 are a requirement under English company law.

The Thor directors believe that all of the resolutions, including resolutions 9 to 14  and 16 relating to the issue of Ordinary Shares to the directors of the Company in lieu of cash remuneration, are in the best interests of the Company and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions at the annual general meeting, as the directors intend to do in respect of their own holdings of  79,737,036 Shares representing 3.4% per cent of the Company's issued share capital (to the extent they are not excluded from voting).

The Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting contain further detail explaining the resolutions.

Yours faithfully

Michael Billing

Executive Chairman

Notes to Resolution 6 - Ratification of issue of Shares in August 2014

15.  ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of Shareholders is required for the issue of Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will, when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

16.  ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of Equity Securities made without prior approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company's members subsequently approve it.

17.  Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution which seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue and allotment of 46,388,888 Shares on 19 August 2014.

18.  If Resolution 6 is passed then the Shares the subject of that Resolution will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval and will, therefore, not be counted towards the 15% limit prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.  If Resolution 6 is not passed, then the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed to the extent of that placing, which will restrict the Company's ability to issue securities or seek funding by way of capital raisings over the next 12 months.

19.  ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 6 for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

a)      The total number of Shares issued was 46,388,888 Shares.

b)      The issue price was 0.18 cents (0.1p) per Share, raising a total of AUD 83,825 (approximately £46,000).

c)      The Shares issued are fully paid ordinary Shares that rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

d)      The Shares were issued and allotted to various sophisticated investors identified by the Company.

e)      Funds raised by the issue have and are being used to fund the Company's working capital requirements, and the completion of the upgraded Definitive Feasibility Study of the Company's advanced Molyhil tungsten project in Australia's Northern Territory.

f)       A voting exclusion statement is included in the notice of meeting.

20.  The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 as they themselves intend to do. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

21.  Further details on the placement the subject of Resolution 6 can be found in the announcements made by the Company to AIM and ASX on 14 August 2014.

Notes to Resolution 7 - Approval for issue of Shares to be beneficially held by Black Fire Minerals Limited

22.  Resolution 7 relates to the issue of Shares to be held beneficially by Black Fire. These Shares will be issued at completion of the acquisition by the Company of the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project, located in Nevada, USA through the purchase by the Company from Black Fire of all the issued shares in the capital of Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd (Acquisition).

23.  Shareholder approval to the subject matter of Resolution 7was obtained at the General Meeting of the Company held on 31 July 2014. However, the validity of the Shareholder approval will expire after 31 October 2014. If completion of the Acquisition does not occur before the current Shareholder approval expires, then fresh Shareholder approval will be sought at the Meeting in order for the Company to issue the required Shares to Black Fire at completion of the Acquisition. Resolution 7will be withdrawn at the Meeting if it is not required.

24.  Set out below is the information relevant to Resolution 7(as previously provided to Shareholders in the explanatory notes to the notice of meeting for the General Meeting on 31 July 2014).

25.  Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd indirectly owns the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project through three interposed wholly owned subsidiaries. On 12 September 2014 the Company and Black Fire executed a formal Share Sale and Purchase Agreement for the Acquisition.

26.  Settlement of the Acquisition will be conditional on:

a)      the Company completing commercial, technical, and legal due diligence on Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, its subsidiaries and their respective assets and liabilities, to the sole and absolute satisfaction of the Company;

b)      the Company and Black Fire obtaining any shareholder approvals required by law, the ASX Listing Rules or the AIM Rules for Companies; and

c)      the Company and Black Fire obtaining any other regulatory approvals or third party consents or waivers which are necessary for settlement of the Acquisition to occur

by 30 October 2014 or such later time as the Company and Black Fire may agree.

27.  The consideration for the Acquisition will be AUD 1,675,000  to be satisfied by the Company by way of issue to Black Fire at settlement of the Acquisition of 418,750,000 CDIs (Acquisition CDIs) at a deemed issue price of AUD 0.004 per Acquisition CDI. Prior to, and as a condition of, settlement of the Acquisition Black Fire is to novate to Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd all of Black Fire's rights and obligations in respect of a partially secured AUD 625,000 loan (including accrued interest) made to Black Fire in or about March 2014 to complete the acquisition of the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project from Pacific Gold Corporation.  That loan is to be repaid by 30 September 2015. The consideration for the Acquisition assumes (and has been adjusted to take account of) the novation of that debt.

28.  Further details on the Acquisition and Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA, can be found in the announcement made by the Company to AIM and ASX on 10 June 2014.

29.  If required, the Company will seek approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue and allotment of 418,750,000 Shares to CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd (Acquisition Shares), to be beneficially held by Black Fire in the form of CDIs, as the Company does not currently have sufficient capacity under the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue or agree to issue the Acquisition Shares without Shareholder approval.  This approval is a condition precedent to the Acquisition.

30.  If Resolution 7 (if required) is approved by Shareholders, and all other conditions precedent to the Acquisition (as detailed above) are satisfied or (where possible) waived, then the Acquisition Shares will be issued with Shareholder approval such that the Acquisition Shares will not be counted towards the 15% limit on the issue of securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, or the 10% limit on the issue of securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.  If Resolution 7 (if required) is not approved, the Acquisition will not proceed.

31.  Assuming Resolutions 7 to 14 are passed, and the securities the subject of those Resolutions are issued and no other Shares are issued between the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and the date of issue of the Acquisition Shares, the Acquisition Shares will represent approximately 14.3% of the expanded Share capital of the Company.

32.  The Acquisition Shares will be issued to CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd and beneficially held by Black Fire in the form of the Acquisition CDIs.  The Acquisition CDIs will be voluntarily escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

33.  ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 7 for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is provided on the assumption that all the conditions precedent to the Acquisition (as detailed above) are satisfied or (where possible) waived:

(a)    the maximum number of Shares that will be issued pursuant to Resolution 7 is 418,750,000 Shares;

(b)    the Company will issue the Acquisition Shares on settlement of the Acquisition which is to occur the business day after the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions precedent to the Acquisition, and in any case no later than 3 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting;

(c)     the issue price of the Acquisition Shares is deemed to be AUD 0.004 per Share;

(d)    the Acquisition Shares will be issued to CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd to be beneficially held by Black Fire in the form of CDIs;

(e)     the Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue and are subject to a voluntary escrow period of 12 months from the date of issue.

(f)     no funds will be raised from this issue of Shares, however the Company's liability to Black Fire under the terms of the formal Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (if executed) with respect to the consideration of AUD 1,675,000  will be satisfied by the issue; and

(g)     a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Notes to Resolution 8 - Conversion of Director Loans to CDIs

34.  The issue of securities the subject of Resolution 8 is also related to the Acquisition referred to in the notes to Resolution 7above. Shareholder approval to the subject matter of Resolution 8 was obtained at the General Meeting of the Company held on 31 July 2014. However, the validity of the Shareholder approval will also expire after 31 October 2014, so fresh approval may be sought at the Meeting if required. Resolution 8 will be withdrawn at the Meeting if it is not required.

35.  Set out below is the information relevant to Resolution 8(as previously provided to Shareholders in the explanatory notes to the notice of meeting for the General Meeting on 31 July 2014).

36.  The Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of the issue of 96,685,082 Shares to CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd, to be beneficially held by the Company's Directors, Messrs Michael Billing, Michael Ashton, David Thomas, and Trevor Ireland (Lending Directors) or their respective nominees in the form of CDIs, and as between them, in the number set out in the table below (Loan Repayment Shares).

37.  ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires that Shareholder approval be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, Equity Securities to a related party (which includes a director of the Company), 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. The Loan Repayment Shares are Equity Securities and the issue of Loan Repayment Shares to the Lending Directors (or their respective nominees) requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 on the basis that each Lending Director is a related party of the Company.

38.  The Loan Repayment Shares are to be issued to the Lending Directors, or their respective nominees, in lieu of cash payment, to satisfy the unsecured loans made by each Lending Director to Black Fire (Director Loans). The Director Loans of AUD 140,000 in aggregate were used by Black Fire to complete the acquisition of the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project.  The Director Loans were made by the Lending Directors to Black Fire in March 2014, are repayable by 30 September 2015 and attract a flat coupon of 25% on the principal which is payable regardless of early repayment.

39.  Conversion of the Director Loans to the Loan Repayment Shares is conditional on the novation of the Director Loans by Black Fire to its subsidiary, Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, completion of the Acquisition (as referred to in the notes to Resolution 7 above).

40.  The issue of the Loan Repayment Shares to CHESS to be beneficially held by each Director, will allow the Company to partially satisfy the debt which it will acquire as a result of completing the Acquisition (as described in the Notes to Resolution 7) whilst maintaining cash reserves.

41.  The amount owed to each Director, the number of Loan Repayment Shares to be issued to CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd (to be beneficially held by each Director) in lieu of cash payment and the basis of the calculation of this is set out in the table below.

Director	Amount Owed1.		Price per Share (pence/cents2)	Number of Shares/CDIs3.

Michael Billing	AUD 62,500	£34,530	0.1p/0.181 cents	34,530,386

David Thomas	AUD 25,000	£13,813	0.1p/0.181 cents	13,812,155
Trevor Ireland	AUD 25,000	£13,813	0.1p/0.181 cents	13,812,155

2.     Converted to AUD (cents) from GBP (pence) at the Nominated Exchange Rate

3.     Calculation based on Australian currency values

4.     Converted to GBP from AUD at the Nominated Exchange Rate

42.  ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8.  The following information provided assumes that all the conditions to the issue of the Loan Repayment Shares, as detailed above, are satisfied.

a)         up to a total of 96,685,082 Shares will be issued to CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd, to be beneficially held by the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the form of CDIs in the numbers specified in the table above;

b)         the Loan Repayment Shares will be issued within one month of the date of the Annual General Meeting;

c)          the Loan Repayment Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of 0.1 pence per Loan Repayment Share;

d)         the Loan Repayment Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares;

e)          a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting; and

f)          no funds will be raised by the issue of the Loan Repayment Shares although the Company's liability to the Lending Directors in relation to the Director Loans will be satisfied by the issue.

43.  If Resolution 8 is passed (and approval is therefore obtained for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11), further shareholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the securities issued pursuant to Resolution 8 will not be included in the calculation of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Notes to Resolutions 9 to 13

44.  The Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of the issue of Shares to CHESS, to be beneficially held by the Directors or their respective nominees (in the form of CDIs) (Remuneration Shares).

45.  ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires that Shareholder approval be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, Equity Securities to a related party (which includes a director of the Company), 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.  The Remuneration Shares are Equity Securities and the issue of Remuneration Shares to a Director (or their nominee) requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 on the basis that the Directors are related parties of the Company.

46.  The Remuneration Shares are being issued to the directors or their respective nominees in lieu of cash payment for accrued directors' fees for the period 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2014 (inclusive). In the case of Michael Billing, in addition to his directors' fees, a portion of his consultancy fees for the period 1 October 2013 to 31 August 2014 (inclusive) are also to be  paid by way of Remuneration Shares in lieu of cash payment.  Michael Billing has agreed to receive a fixed amount of $6,000 cash payment per month for consulting fees (excluding Australian Goods and Services Tax), with the remainder being settled through the issue of Remuneration Shares, subject to shareholder approval.  This equates to approximately 50% of the value of Michael Billing's consulting fees being paid through Remuneration shares, with the remaining 50% paid in cash, or remaining to be paid in cash.

47.  The Board considers the issue of Remuneration Shares to CHESS (to be beneficially held by each Director) to be reasonable, and allows the Company to secure and maintain the engagement of high calibre professionals whilst maintaining cash reserves.

48.  The amount owed to each Director, the number of Remuneration Shares to be issued to CHESS (to be beneficially held by each Director) in lieu of cash payment and the basis for the calculation of this is set out in the table below.

Resolution	Director	Fee type	Fees Owed $AUD	one month VWAP  $AUD (1)	Number of Shares	Notional Value $AUD
9	M Billing	Director	22,500	0.0029	7,758,621	22,500

13	D Thomas	Director	22,500	0.0029	7,758,621	22,500

(1) The one month VWAP for AIM traded Shares through to 15 September of £0.00162, converted to AUD at the exchange rate of 0.5537 at 15 September 2014.

49.  In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 9-13 (inclusive):

a.     up to a total of 66,308,276 Remuneration Shares will be issued to CHESS, to be beneficially held by the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the proportions specified in the table above (in the form of CDIs);

b.     the Remuneration Shares will be issued within one month of this Meeting;

c.     the Remuneration Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of A$0.0029 (0.29 cents) per Remuneration Share (being the one month VWAP for AIM traded Shares through to 15 September of £0.00162, converted to AUD at the exchange rate of 0.5537 at 15 September 2014);

d.     the Remuneration Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares, and application will be made for their quotation on AIM and ASX;

e.     a voting exclusion statement is included in the notice of meeting; and

f.      no funds will be raised by the issue of Remuneration Shares although the Company's liability to the Directors in relation to their remuneration will be satisfied by the issue.

50.  If Resolutions 9-13 are passed (and approval is therefore obtained for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11), further shareholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the securities issued pursuant to Resolutions 9-13 will not be included in the calculation of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Notes to Resolution 15

General

51.  ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital in accordance with the terms set out below (10% Placement Facility).  The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

52.  An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of A$300 million or less.  The Company's market capitalisation as at 15 September 2014 was approximately A$7,050,000 (2,350,058,743 Ordinary Shares, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.003 per share).  Further, the Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, and is therefore an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

53.  The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.  Resolution 15 therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

54.  The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which is set out below.

55.  It is the Company's intention that funds received under the 10% Placement Facility will be used to supplement the Company's working capital requirements, for continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets (including the Dundas and Spring Hill gold projects, the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project, and the Molyhil Tungsten/Molybdenum Project), and undertake further transactions to acquire new assets or investments should the Directors determine this to be in the best interests of the Company.

56.  The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 15 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15.

57.  No Director or Related Party will participate in any issue under the 10% Placement Facility unless specific approval is obtained for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

58.  Shareholder approval - the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

59.  Equity Securities - any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.  The Company, as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, has on issue two quoted classes of Equity Securities: Shares quoted on ASX (as CDIs); Shares quoted on London Stock Exchange AIM market. 

60.  Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility - ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities who have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

where:

"A" is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

i.          plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

ii.         plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

iii.        plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.  This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

iv.        less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

"D" is 10%

"E" is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

61.  ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A - the ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has in issue 2,350,058,743  Ordinary Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

i.      (2,350,058,743 x 0.15) = 352,508,811 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 7, if required); and

ii.    (2,350,058,743 x 0.10) = 235,005,874 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 15).

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula set out above.

62.  Minimum Issue Price - The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must not be less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

i.       the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

ii.      if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

The Company may also issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility as consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, in which case the company will release to the market a valuation of those Equity Securities that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with the rule above.

63.  10% Placement Period - Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

i.       the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

ii.      the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking)

(10% Placement Period).

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

64.  Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

(a)        The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than the price calculated in accordance with paragraph 62 above.

(b)        If Resolution 15 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders may be subject to both economic and voting power dilution.  There is a risk that:

i.    the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting;

ii.  the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities; and

iii. the Equity Securities may be issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, in which case, no funds will be raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Ordinary Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

i.    two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

ii.  two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Variable "A" in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2		Dilution
		A$0.0015 50% decrease in Issue Price	A$0.003 Issue Price	A$0.006 100% increase in Issue Price
Current variable "A" 2,350,058,743 Ordinary Shares	10% Voting Dilution	235,005,874 Ordinary Shares	235,005,874  Ordinary Shares	235,005,874  Ordinary Shares
	Funds Raised	$ 352,509	$ 705,018	$ 1,410,035
50% increase in current variable "A" 3,525,088,115 Ordinary Shares	10% Voting Dilution	352,508,811 Ordinary Shares	352,508,811 Ordinary Shares	352,508,811 Ordinary Shares
	Funds Raised	$ 528,763	$ 1,057,526	$ 2,115,053
100% increase in current variable "A" 4,700,117,486 Ordinary Shares	10% Voting Dilution	470,011,749 Ordinary Shares	470,011,749 Ordinary Shares	470,011,749 Ordinary Shares
	Funds Raised	$ 705,018	$ 1,410,035	$2,820,070

The table has been prepared based on the total number of Ordinary Shares on issue at the date of the Notice, and on the following assumptions:

i.    The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

ii.  None of the unlisted options that the Company currently has on issue are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

iii. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue, assuming variable A is equal to the total issued share capital. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

iv.  The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

v.   The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Dilution experienced by Shareholders may be greater if issues have been made utilising the capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 as well.

vi.  The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

vii.           The current market price of CDIs of AUD$0.003, being the closing price of the CDIs on ASX at 15 September 2014.

(c)        The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.  The approval under Resolution 15 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(d)        The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

i.    non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

ii.  cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets (including the Dundas and Spring Hill gold projects, and the Molyhil Tungsten/Molybdenum Project) and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e)        The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

i.    the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

ii.  the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

iii. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

iv.  advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders and/or new investors who are not Related Parties of the Company or their associates.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

If Resolution 15 is approved by Shareholders, the Company will issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the Placement Period, as and when the circumstances of the Company require.

(f)         The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2013 annual general meeting.  In the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, the Company issued a total number of 1,073,397,284 Equity Securities, representing 84.1% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.  The details of all issues of Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting are set out in Annexure A to these explanatory notes.

(g)        The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 15 by a person (and any associates of such a person) who may participate in the 10% Placement Facility and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of Shares, if Resolution 15 is passed.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

i.    it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or

ii.  it is cast by the Chairman as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities.  No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

65.  The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15 as they themselves intend to do. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 15.
