ACN 128 512 907
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to invite you to attend a General Meeting of
Condor Metals Limited (Company) to be held at
10:00 am (Perth Time) on Friday, 25th May, 2012.
The meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel,
99 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, WA.
I enclose your Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Memorandum and
Proxy Form.
The Notice of Meeting (including the Explanatory Memorandum)
sets out the items of business for the
General Meeting. Please take the time to carefully read the
whole document.
To help you understand what the Notice of Meeting contains,
below is an outline of the items of business which are
proposed for the General Meeting.
1 Ratification of placement of 24,500,000 CNK Shares to
Sophisticated Investors
On 5thApril, 2012, the Company announced that it
had completed a share placement to raise
$980,000 through the issue of 24.5 million shares at 4.0
cents per share to sophisticated investors. The Company
wishes to ratify that placement and to retain the flexibility
permitted by the ASX Listing Rules to issue up to 15% of its
capital without the need to obtain prior Shareholder
approval.
2. Change of Company Name
The Company recently acquired 97.37% of Inca Minerals Limited
and its highly prospective Chanape and Moquegua projects in
Peru, and is currently compulsorily acquiring the remaining
2.63%.
We have recently become aware of confusion amongst investors
between your company, Condor Metals Limited (ASX: CNK) and
Condor Blanco Mines Limited (ASX: CDB), a company with
exploration projects in Chile. Previously, Condor Metals
Limited only had Western Australian projects. In order to
resolve the confusion that now exists, it is recommended that
Condor Metals Limited change its name to Inca Minerals
Limited.
For fuller information, please study the attached Explanatory
Memorandum.
If you prefer to vote in person on the above items of
business, you are invited to attend the General Meeting in
person or, if you choose not to attend, you can appoint a
proxy to vote on your behalf. If appointing a proxy, the
enclosed Proxy Form needs to be completed and returned to the
Company (see
Proxy Form for details), no later than 10.00am (Perth time)
on Wednesday, 23rd May, 2012. You may
choose to direct your proxy how to vote on each item of
business, or appoint the Chairman to vote on your behalf.
If you have any queries in relation to the items of business,
please contact the Managing Director, Ross
Brown, on (08) 9225 5544.
Yours sincerely,
Laurence Freedman AM Chairman

Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the
information of Shareholders of Condor Metals Limited ACN 128
512 907 (Company) in connection with the business to be
considered at the General Meeting to be held at 10:00 am
(Perth time) on Friday, 25th May 2012 at the
Hyatt Regency, 99 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, WA.
This Explanatory Memorandum is incorporated in, and forms
part of, the accompanying Notice of
Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide
Shareholders with information relevant to the
Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the General
Meeting.
Terms and expressions used in this Explanatory Memorandum,
the Notice of Meeting and the Proxy Form have the meaning
given to them in the 'Definitions' section located at the end
of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Details of the items of business to be considered at the
General Meeting are set out below.
Your Directors recommend that Shareholders carefully read
this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any
decision in relation to the Resolutions. If Shareholders are
in any doubt about what to do, they should consult their
legal, financial or other professional adviser.
Resolution 1: Ratification of placement of CNK Shares to
Sophisticated Investors
1. ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1
limits the number of securities that a listed company may
issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval in any
12 month period to 15% of its issued ordinary shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 effectively sets out an exception to ASX
Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general
meeting approves 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 purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Consequently, issues of shares subsequently ratified by
shareholders in general meeting under ASX Listing Rule 7.4
are not included in the 15% limit on the number of shares
which can be issued by a listed company without shareholder
approval in any 12 month period.
2. Issue of CNK Shares
As previously announced to ASX, on 5th April,
2012, the Company successfully completed a share placement to
sophisticated investors to raise $980,000 through the issue
of 24.5 million CNK Shares of 4.0 cents per share.
The funds raised through that share placement are intended to
be utilised towards the forward exploration program at the
Company's newly acquired Peruvian projects.
The CNK Shares, the subject of the share placement were
issued on 11th April, 2012.
At the time of their issue, the CNK Shares placed by the
Company represented approximately 14.9% of the issued capital
of the Company. Prior Shareholder approval was not required
for the issue of those shares.
APAC-#13938487-v3
Page 6
3. Resolution 1
Resolution 1 requests Shareholders to approve, for the
purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the placement of 24.5
million CNK Shares.
By approving that share placement pursuant to ASX Listing
Rule 7.4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue
new CNK Shares and other securities in the future up to the
15% annual limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (without the
need to obtain prior shareholder approval).
Resolution 1 is proposed as an ordinary resolution and will
be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders
are in favour of that Resolution.
4. Information required for shareholder ratification
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the Company is required to
provide the following information in relation to Resolution
1:
(1) The total number of securities issued was 24.5 million
CNK Shares. (2) Those CNK Shares were issued at 4.0 cents per
share.
(3) The CNK Shares issued are fully paid and rank equally
with existing CNK Shares on issue. The
CNK Shares were payable in full on allotment.
(4) The allottees of those CNK Shares were sophisticated
investors nominated by Element Capital, a Perth based capital
markets advisory company. Element Capital and the Company
made presentations during the period 26th March
to 3rd April 2012 to brokers, fund managers
and
sophisticated investors in Perth and Sydney
(5) The Company intends to use the funds as part of the
Company's forward exploration program at the Company's
Peruvian projects.
5. What will happen if Resolution 1 is not approved?
If Resolution 1 is not approved by Shareholders, the Company
will lose the flexibility to make further placements of its
securities without Shareholder approval in the next 12 months
up to the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Your Directors consider that this would impinge upon the
ability of the Company to expeditiously take advantage of
future investment or project opportunities, should they
emerge or raise additional working capital, should it be
required.
6. Board's recommendation
Your Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote
in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2: Change of Name
1. Resolution 2
Your Directors propose that the Company change its name to
Inca Minerals Limited.
In order to resolve confusion on the ASX with the name of
your Company and Condor Blanco Mines Limited, both companies
having projects in South America, your Directors propose a
change of company name to Inca Minerals Limited. Your
Directors believe that this new name, following the Company's
acquisition of the Chanape and Moquegua projects in Peru more
accurately reflects the focus of the Company's future
diversified operations. While the Company will retain its
most promising Western Australian projects, a significant
part of its future exploration and mining operations will now
be directed towards the newly acquired Peruvian projects.
APAC-#13938487-v3
Page 7
The likelihood of confusion by investors between the two
companies has been raised by a number of investors. Fears are
held that orders to buy or sell shares in one company could
be confused with the other. This could lead to potential
losses and legal actions. Your Directors consider that these
concerns are well founded and recommend that you vote in
favour of the name change.
If Resolution 2 is not approved by Shareholders, the Company
will retain its current name.
2. Special Resolution
Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act requires a company to
pass a special resolution at a general meeting of
shareholders to adopt a new name. A special resolution is a
resolution that must be passed by at least 75% of the votes
cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.
All Shareholders are entitled to vote on Resolution 2.
3. Board's recommendation
Your Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote
in favour of Resolution 2.
