3       Background

3.1     Co-operation Agreement
          
          On 23 July 2008, the Company and Areva NC entered into a co-operation agreement in respect of the
          Company's tenements in Mauritania, West Africa (Co-operation Agreement).
          
          Under the Co-operation Agreement:
        
        (a)     the Company has a right to use information owned by Areva in relation to the uranium deposits
                 located on the Company's tenements in Mauritania (Licence);
        
        (b)     the Company has a right to utilise the technical expertise of certain members of Areva's staff
                 (Services), including:
                 (i)     an exploration-project manager;
                 (ii)    a hydro-geologist;
                 (iii)   a drilling expert;
                 (iv)    a resources and reserves manager;
                 (v)     a geophysicist down hole probing expert; and
                 (vi)    a geophysicist;
        
        (c)     the Company may offer to form a joint venture with Areva if exploration during the 2-year period
                 after 23 July 2008 delineates a minimum of 60m lbs of uranium JORC inferred resources;
        
        (d)     if the milestone in (c) above is met then the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree a
                 process to allow Areva to earn a 25% interest in the joint venture based on internal and market
                 valuations and commercial terms.  If the parties cannot agree a market value for the farm-in
                 interest then the market value will be determined by an independent expert agreed by both parties;
        
        (e)     if an entity, either directly or indirectly, acquires more than 50% of the Company then Areva
                 shall have the right to purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture;
        
        (f)     Areva may not withdraw from the project before the end of the 2 year exploration phase;
        
        (g)     if a joint venture is created the joint venture will complete a scoping study within 4 years from
                 23 June 2008 which will aim to identify resources of at least 30m lbs uranium of measured and
                 indicated resources of calcrete types or a minimum of 40m lbs uranium of measured and indicated
                 resources for other types of deposits. Resources are to be JORC or NI 43-101 compliant.  If the
                 scoping study is successful then the joint venture will consider advancing the project to a pre-
                 feasibility study;
        
        (h)     Areva will conduct any pre-feasibility study in respect of the project and each party will
                 contribute to the costs of the pre-feasibility study to the extent of their interest in the joint
                 venture;
        
        (i)     during the pre-feasibility stage the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree to a process
                 allowing Areva to obtain a 51% interest in the joint venture on internal and market valuations and
                 commercial terms.  Areva will also have the option to acquire 100% of the marketing rights on any
                 future production from the joint venture tenements.  An independent expert will determine the
                 value of the 51% interest in the joint venture and the 100% interest in the marketing rights, if
                 they cannot be agreed between the parties;
        
        (j)     Areva will conduct any feasibility study in respect of the project and each party will contribute
                 to the costs of the feasibility study to the extent of their interest in the joint venture;
        
        (k)     during the feasibility stage the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree to a process
                 allowing Areva to obtain a 100% interest in the joint venture on internal and market valuations
                 and commercial terms.  An independent expert will determine the value of the 51% interest if they
                 cannot be agreed between the parties; and
        
        (l)     Areva will subscribe for Shares the subject of Resolution 4.
        
        (m)     In consideration for the grant of the Licence and the provision of the Services the Company will
                 issue the Shares the subject of Resolution 5.

3.3     Company's Projects
          
          Murchison United NL is an Australian-based company whose principal activity is minerals exploration.  The
          Company currently has uranium exploration projects in Mauritania and Guinea in West Africa and copper
          interests in the Millennium copper leases in Cloncurry, Queensland and the Maroochydore copper project
          near Telfer in Western Australia.
          
          Murchison has secured an extensive portfolio of uranium exploration projects comprising some 15,400km2 of
          highly prospective tenements in Mauritania and Guinea, West Africa. Its objective is to delineate
          significant new uranium deposits within these under-explored terrains.
          
          The Company recently confirmed the significant potential and prospectivity of the Bir En Nar Project in
          Mauritania, after announcing final downhole radiometric logging results, including further significant
          high-grade results from its recently completed maiden RC drilling program.
          
          26 of the 38 holes tested returned intercepts calculated at greater than 1,000ppm eU3O8. Seven holes
          contained intercepts exceeding 5,000ppm eU3O8, with a maximum intercept of 1.55m at 18,280ppm eU3O8.
          Murchison considers these results to be very encouraging and confirms the prospectivity for uranium
          mineralisation.
          
          The Bir En Nar prospect is a 900 metre long radioactive zone extending 50-70 metres in width and
          following a tectonic structure in a NW-SE direction. A smaller parallel zone occurs a few hundred metres
          to the south-west.
          
          The permit areas are located in the north of the country near the town of Bir Moghrein and at Bir En Nar
          in Zednes region. These were originally identified by the Company's Technical Director, Mr Bosse
          Gustafsson, from a study commissioned by the World Bank and further refined from aeroradiometric data
          highlighting the region's prospectivity for uranium occurrences.
                                                         
          
          In Guinea, the Company is currently undertaking a follow-up 5,000m diamond drilling program at Firawa
          prospect, targeting a JORC compliant resource estimate to follow up initial drilling carried out in 2007.
          Encouraging results of up to 1,325ppm U3O8 were returned from drilling at Firawa last year.


4.      Resolution 1 - Re-election of Glenn Featherby
        
        Mr.  Featherby was appointed as a Director on 2 August 2004.  Under the Company's Constitution any Director
        who  at the conclusion of the meeting will have been in office for 3 or more Annual General Meetings  since
        he  was elected to office, or failing that, the longest serving Director, must retire.  Mr. Featherby holds
        office until this meeting, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
        
        Information on Mr. Featherby is contained in the Company's annual report.
        
5.      Resolution 2 - Re-election of Lady Barbara Judge
        
        Lady  Judge  was  appointed  as  a  Director since the last Annual General  Meeting.  Under  the  Company's
        Constitution she holds office only until this meeting, and being eligible, offers herself for re-election.
        
        Information on Lady Judge is contained in the Company's annual report.
        
6.      Resolution 3 - Remuneration Report
        
        The  Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2008 contains a remuneration report, which sets  out  the
        policy for the remuneration of the Directors and Executives of the Company.
        
        Under  section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration  Report  to
        the  vote  of  Shareholders.  The Annual Report for the period ended 30 June 2008 contains  a  Remuneration
        Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements  in
        place for the executive and non-executive Directors.
        
        Section  250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that resolution 3 is advisory only and does not bind  the
        Directors.   Of  itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 3 will not require the  Directors  to
        alter  any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report, however the Board will take the outcome  of  the
        vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy.
        
        The  Chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about,  or
        make comments on the Remuneration Report.
        
7.      Resolution 4 - Ratification of Areva Placement
        
        On 28 July 2008, the Company issued to Areva NC 20,009,611 Shares each at an issue price of $0.135 under
        the Areva Placement.
        
        Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the Areva Placement.
        
        ASX Listing Rule 7.4 - Shareholder Approval
        The Shares issued under the Areva Placement were issued within the Company's 15% limit permitted under
        Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.  The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution
        4 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue securities within that limit, to the extent of the
        20,009,611 Shares.
        
        Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
        For the purposes of Shareholder approval of the Areva Placement and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3,
        information is provided as follows:
                 (a)     20,009,611 Shares each at an issue price of $0.135 were allotted to Areva NC (who is not a
                         related party of the Company) under the Areva Placement;
                 (b)     the Shares under the Areva Placement are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
                         Company;
                 (c)     the funds raised by the Areva Placement (being $2,698,732) will be used to progress the
                         Company's exploration program at the Bir En Nar uranium project; and
                 (d)     a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
        

8.      Resolution 5 - Authorise Areva Issue
        
        Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the authority to undertake the Areva Issue.
        
        Listing Rule 7.1 - Shareholder Approval
        Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the Areva Issue.  Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject  to
        certain  exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company,
        where  the  securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's  securities  then  on
        issue.
        
        Although the Areva Issue does not represent more than the 15% of the Company's securities on issue for  the
        purposes  of Listing Rule 7.1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Areva Issue so  that  the
        Company's future ability to issue up to 15% of the Company's Share capital in accordance with Listing  Rule
        7.1  without Shareholder approval is maintained.  Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought in accordance
        with Listing Rule 7.3.
        
        Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
        For  the  purposes  of Shareholder approval of the Areva Issue and the requirements of  Listing  Rule  7.3,
        information is provided as follows:
                 (a)     the  maximum  number of Shares the Company can issue under the Areva Issue  is  44,465,803
                         Shares;
                 (b)     the  Company  will issue the Shares no later than 3 months after the date of  the  General
                         Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to  a
                         waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2);
                 (c)     the  Shares  will  be issued to Areva NC (who is not a related party of  the  Company)  as
                         consideration under the Co-operation Agreement;
                 (d)     the Shares are ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of the Company;
                 (e)     no  funds  will  be  raised  by the Areva Issue because the Shares  are  being  issued  as
                         consideration for the grant of the Licence and the provision of the Services under the Co-
                         operation Agreement;
                 (f)     the allotment of Shares will occur progressively; and
                 (g)     a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
        
        
9.      Resolution 6 -Grant of Options to Lady Barbara Judge

        The grant of Options to Lady Barbara Judge (or her nominee) is considered to be commercially appropriate  to
        recognise  Lady  Judge's contribution to the Company and to incentivise her to grow  the  Company  into  the
        future  for the benefit of all Shareholders.  The Options will form part of Lady Judge's remuneration  which
        the Directors (other than Lady Judge) have satisfied themselves is reasonable.
        
        The  Options to be granted are in accordance with an agreement Lady Judge entered into with the Company,  to
        act as a Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chairman effective from 18 July 2008.  Under resolution 6, it  is
        proposed  that  Lady Judge be granted 3,000,000 Options, with an exercise price of A$0.10. In  the  12-month
        period  before the date of this Notice and Explanatory Memorandum, the highest price of Shares  on  ASX  was
        A$0.165  on  18 June 2008 and the lowest price was $0.040 on the 14 October 2008. The closing price  on  the
        day before the date of this Notice was $0.051.
        
        The  options will vest when granted. The right to exercise the Options is dependant on Lady Judge completing
        12  months'  continuous  service  as a Director (commencing from the date  the  Options  are  issued).   All
        unexercised  Options expire 5 years from the date of the grant. If Lady Judge ceases to be a  Director,  she
        may exercise any remaining unexercised Options within 6 months of cessation.
        
        ASX Listing Rule approval
        
        Shareholder  approval  is  sought under Listing Rule 10.11, which provides that a  Company  must  not  issue
        securities  (including options) to a related party of the company, such as a director, without  the  company
        obtaining shareholder approval.
        
        As  approval for the issue of the Options to Lady Judge is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval  of
        the  issue of the Option is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.  The Options issued to Lady Judge  will
        not limit the ability of the Company to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
        
        ASX  Listing  Rule 10.13 requires information to be provided to Shareholders as follows to enable  them  to
        assess the merits of resolution 6:
        
        (a)     The Options will be granted to Lady Judge, or her nominees;

        (b)     3,000,000 Options is the maximum number of Options to be granted to Lady Judge.

        (c)     The Company will issue the Options no later than one month after the date of the meeting (or such 
                longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).

        (d)     Each Option will be issued for nil consideration.  Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for 
                one (1)Share at an exercise price of $0.10, exercisable on or before that date which is 5 years from
                the date of grant.
                The Options are not transferable and will not be quoted on ASX.  Further terms and conditions of the 
                Incentive Options are in Annexure A.

        (e)     A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
        
        (f)     No funds will be raised by the issue of the Options as they are being issued for nil consideration.

      
      Directors' Recommendation
      
      Given  that  Lady Judge has an interest in the outcome of resolution 6, she declines to make a recommendation
      to  Shareholders in this regard. All the remaining Directors being Mr. Glenn Featherby, Mr. Mark Reilly,  Mr.
      David  Grannell and Mr Bosse Gustafsson, considered to be independent Directors, consider that the  issue  of
      the  Options to Lady Judge is in the best interests of the Company and recommends to Shareholders  that  they
      pass the resolution as presented.


4.      Resolution 7 - Change of Company Name
        
        The Directors have determined to change the Company name to Forte Energy NL.  Resolution 7 seeks
        Shareholder approval for the change of name in accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act.
        
        The Director's believe that the new name for the Company is more appropriate given the Company's current
        activities.
        
        Resolution 7 is a special resolution.
