<P style="margin-top:5.533px; margin-bottom:5.533px; text-indent:24px" align=justify>The Registrant is subject to the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the &#147;MBCA&#148;). &nbsp;Section 302A.521 of the MBCA provides in substance that, unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if certain criteria are met. &nbsp;These criteria, all of which must be met by the person seeking indemnification, are (a) that
such person has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same act or omissions; (b) that such person acted in good faith; (c) that such person received no improper personal benefit and, if applicable, has satisfied certain conflicts of interest provisions under the MBCA; (d) that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (e) that such person reasonably believed the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or, in certain limited circumstances, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. &nbsp;Section 302A.521 of the MBCA further provides that a director or officer is entitled to payment or reimbursement by a corporation of reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by such officer or director in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding if certain conditions are satisfied. &nbsp;Under Section 302A.521 of the MBCA, a decision as to required indemnification or advances of expenses is made by a majority of the disinterested board of directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by the disinterested shareholders, or by a court. </P>

5,000,000 common shares of Energizer Resources Inc. (the "Registrant") that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Option Plan of the Registrant (the "Plan").  The Registrant has previously filed registration statements on Form S-8 to register 22,000,000 common shares of the Registrant reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act of 1933"), this registration statement also covers any additional securities that may be offered or issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, filed with the Commission on September 28, 2011, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act of 1934").
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's annual report incorporated by reference herein pursuant to (a) above.
(c)
The description of the Registrant's common shares contained in the Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission on February 8, 2005 under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is subject to the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA").  Section 302A.521 of the MBCA provides in substance that, unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if certain criteria are met.  These criteria, all of which must be met by the person seeking indemnification, are (a) that
such person has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same act or omissions; (b) that such person acted in good faith; (c) that such person received no improper personal benefit and, if applicable, has satisfied certain conflicts of interest provisions under the MBCA; (d) that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (e) that such person reasonably believed the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or, in certain limited circumstances, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  Section 302A.521 of the MBCA further provides that a director or officer is entitled to payment or reimbursement by a corporation of reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such officer or director in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding if certain conditions are satisfied.  Under Section 302A.521 of the MBCA, a decision as to required indemnification or advances of expenses is made by a majority of the disinterested board of directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by the disinterested shareholders, or by a court.
II-2
The Registrant's articles of incorporation provide that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA.  The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances and to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
II-3
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
