Energia Minerals Limited
12 September 2016
Dear Shareholder
Energia Minerals Limited – pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue
Energia Minerals Limited ( Company ) has today announced it will be undertaking a non-renounceable rights issue offering 2 new shares for every 7 shares held at $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share to raise approximately $6.1 million before issue related costs ( Rights Issue ).
This Rights Issue is a strategic and timely fund raising to meet the Company’s stated objectives to expand the drilling program, complete the Definitive Feasibility Study early in the new year and, without pre-empting the outcomes of the Definitive Feasibility Study, complete preparatory work to fast track the development of the Gorno Zinc Project in Italy.
The Company made the decision to do a capital raising in this manner and at this time in light of the positive results achieved to date, support for the project at all levels and given the strengthening outlook for the zinc market. The Rights Issue path was selected after having considered a range of alternative funding options in a market that continues to challenge smaller mining companies and priced in a way to encourage participation by Shareholders.
As owners of the Company, you have the right to increase the number of shares that you own at this time, should you wish to participate, on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Document.
For my part, I intend to take up my full Entitlement of 39,956,307 New Shares in respect of the 139,847,071 Shares I own and control, thereby investing a further $1.4 million in the Company and bringing my total investment to date to over $5 million. Mr Cardaci has also confirmed that the entities in which he has a disclosed interest or association with also intend to take up their full Entitlements. Together with the Managing Director, Mr Kim Robinson, and our competent team of professionals, we are all committed to ensure the funds will be utilised in continuing to add shareholder value.
Once the Rights Issue is finalised, the funds raised will be used primarily to enhance and accelerate the Gorno Zinc Project as follows:
-
complete the Definitive Feasibility Study based on the expanded drilling program; and
-
commence preliminary work on the Riso-Parina adit rehabilitation.
In addition, funds will also be applied to:
-
continue with specific, value enhancing activities on other exploration projects; and
-
meet general working capital requirements as they arise.
This Offer Document provides you with the opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue. This offer is being made to Eligible Shareholders on the Company’s Register as at 7.00pm (AEST) on 15 September 2016 ( Record Date ).
The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by Euroz Securities Limited ( Underwriter ). Unless the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the Underwriter is terminated, the Company will receive the full amount of approximately $6.1 million before costs under the Rights Issue even if some eligible shareholders do not subscribe for their rights. An entity with which a Non-Executive Director of the Company, Mr Marcello Cardaci, has a current association in respect of its Energia shareholding together with an additional related party, will subunderwrite a portion of the Underwriter’s commitment. Further detailed information regarding the Underwriting Agreement and the sub-underwriting arrangements are provided in this Offer Document.
This Offer Document contains important information concerning your potential participation in the Rights Issue, including:
-
the key terms of the Rights Issue;
-
instructions on 'how to participate' should you choose to do so; and
-
a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your rights, to be completed in accordance with the instructions provided.

A number of these risks are summarised in Part D of this Document, including but not limited to risks associated with exploration activities, the approvals and permitting process, reliance on key management personnel (refer to paragraph 12) and commodity price and exchange risks.
In order to participate in the Rights Issue, you must ensure that applications for New Shares are received in accordance with the Entitlement and Acceptance Form on or before 5.00pm (AEDT) on 7 October 2016 . Otherwise, your rights will lapse.

B Background to the Company and details of the Rights Issue
1 Recent Company updates
Energia Minerals Limited is an Australian incorporated ASX listed company whose flagship project is the historic Gorno Zinc Project located in the Lombardia region of northern Italy.
The Company’s most recent updated announcement and investor presentation were released to the ASX on 2 September 2016. That announcement and presentation detailed the Company’s progress on exploration, decline development and the Definitive Feasibility Study (due the end of January 2017) in respect of the Gorno Zinc Project.
It also detailed the Company’s strategy, strong board and management, current resource and exploration focus and the Company’s other projects.
A copy of that update and presentation can be obtained on the Company’s website at http://www.energiaminerals.com/.
In addition to this information, the Company is in negotiations concerning the potential acquisition of an option to acquire a company that has applied for but has not yet been granted a gold exploration licence in Italy. There is no guarantee that any binding agreement will be reached nor is the potential consideration payable considered to be material in the context of the Company.
2 Details of the Rights Issue
Eligible Shareholders are invited to participate in a pro-rata non-renounceable Rights Issue of 174,005,994 New Shares. The Rights Issue will be conducted on the basis of 2 New Shares for every 7 Shares (2:7) held at 7.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.035 (3.5 cents) per New Share, payable in full on application.
Your Rights to subscribe for New Shares is shown on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Document.
The Rights Issue is non-renounceable, which means that if you do not accept all or part of your Rights, you will not be able to trade your Rights and they will lapse. There is no ability to subscribe for more than your allocated Rights.
New Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.
The Rights Issue is being undertaken by the Company under section 708AA of the Corporations Act without a prospectus.
3 Why a Rights Issue?
The Rights Issue is intended to raise approximately $6.1 million (before costs of the Rights Issue) and was first announced by the Company on 12 September 2016.
The structure of the Rights Issue is the result of an investigation by the Company into the best available alternatives to meet the Company’s ongoing financing needs. This included the consideration of alternative funding structures and counterparties.
In reaching the decision to propose the Rights Issue, the Board had regard to the quantum needed to be raised to meet the Company’s objectives, the structure that would best guarantee the delivery of that amount and structure that could be implemented in a timely manner.
The terms of the Rights Issue negotiated with Euroz Securities Limited were in the Board’s view superior to any other proposal that the Company was capable of securing within an acceptable timeframe.

9 Underwriting
The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement dated 12 September 2016 ( Underwriting Agreement ) with the Underwriter who has agreed to fully underwrite the Rights Issue.
Background
As stated above, the Rights Issue is a culmination of an extensive search by the Company for alternative funding options for the ongoing development of the Company.
page 5
Energia Minerals Limited
Having considered a range of alternatives and taking into consideration the difficult current market conditions (including both alternative means of raising funds, cost reductions, reviewing funding requirements and non-core asset sales (including the sale of the Company’s holding in Paladin Energy Limited)), the Directors determined that proceeding by way of a rights issue (preferably underwritten) was the most achievable and advantageous to all Shareholders.
The Company then entered into discussions with the Underwriter which, after considerable discussion and investigation culminated in the proposal that has resulted in the Rights Issue.
When it became apparent that the Rights Issue required a level of sub-underwriting support from one or a number of the Company’s Directors (or entities associated with or related to them), the Company immediately put in place appropriate corporate governance arrangements to ensure the process of agreeing the structure of the Rights Issue did not involve any interested Directors. For the reasons set out under the heading “Sub-underwriting arrangements”, Mr Cardaci therefore abstained from voting on the resolution to approve the final structure of the Rights Issue (including approving the terms of the underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements).
In reaching their decision to proceed with the Rights Issue (including the Underwriting Agreement), the independent Directors took into account a number of considerations including the alternative funding arrangements available to the Company at this stage of its development, the timing for the need for funds, the certainty that a fully underwritten raising brings and the positive impact it has on the Company’s ability to proceed with its stated strategy and the fact that a pro-rata issue enables Existing Shareholders who so wish to either maintain their existing ownership percentage or otherwise choose to minimise the dilution they may suffer.
Fee
In addition to a management fee equal to 1% of the amount to be raised under the Rights Issue, the Company must pay the Underwriter an underwriting commission of 4% of the underwritten amount less amounts committed to by the Directors and their related or associated entities. The Underwriter is solely responsible for any sub-underwriting fees agreed between the Underwriter and sub-underwriters.
The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriter and persons connected with the Underwriter against losses they may suffer in connection with the Rights Issue.
Representations and warranties
The Company has agreed to give representations and warranties customary for an underwriting of this kind.
Undertakings
The Company has agreed to provide a number of undertakings customary for an agreement of this nature.
Unqualified termination events
As is customary for these types of arrangements, the Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement (and its obligation to underwrite the Rights Issue) on the occurrence of the following termination events at any time before all of the New Shares are allotted by the Company in accordance with the Rights Issue (currently expected to be 14 October 2016) including:
-
(a) the Takeovers Panel makes a declaration that circumstances in relation to the affairs of the Company as they relate to the Rights Issue are ‘unacceptable circumstances’;
-
(b) any authorisation which is material to anything referred to in the Offer Document is repealed, revoked or terminated or expires, or is modified or amended in a manner which means that the Rights Issue cannot proceed;

-
(i) the Company withdraws the Rights Issue.

-
(a) could give rise to a liability of the Underwriter under, or could give rise to the Underwriter contravening, or being considered to be in contravention of, any law, regulation or rule;

- (q) trading in all securities quoted or listed on ASX, the London Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is suspended or limited in a material respect for more than one day on which that exchange is open for trading.
Consequences of termination
If the Underwriter is entitled to, and does, terminate the Underwriting Agreement, the Company reserves the right to continue with the Rights Issue. Eligible Shareholders who have returned their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or made a BPAY payment before the Underwriting Agreement has been terminated will not be able to withdraw their acceptance.
Sub-underwriting arrangements
The Underwriter may at any time appoint sub-underwriters on terms consistent with the Underwriting Agreement (subject to the identity of those sub-underwriters being consistent with the law and not resulting in the sub-underwriters’ voting power exceeding 20% of the Company).
The Underwriter has informed the Company that it has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with Caperi Pty Ltd as trustee for the Caperi Fund ( Caperi ) for Caperi to acquire up to 69,668,735 Shares of any Shortfall arising under the Rights Issue.
Caperi is controlled by Ms Gayle McGarry who is the wife of Mr Marcello Cardaci, a director of the Company.
Whilst Mr Cardaci does not have any interest in Caperi or otherwise control any Shares held by Caperi, he has informed the Company that he considers he will have a current association with Caperi in respect of any shares in Energia that Caperi will hold.
The Underwriter has also informed the Company that it has entered into an additional sub-underwriting agreement with Lamerton Pty Ltd as trustee for the Macs Super Fund ( Lamerton ) for Lamerton to acquire up to 14,285,714 Shares of any Shortfall arising under the Rights Issue. Lamerton does not currently own any Shares in the Company.
Lamerton is controlled by Mr Graham McGarry, Ms McGarry’s father. Mr Cardaci does not consider he is associated with Lamerton or Mr McGarry nor will he have any interest in Lamerton’s shares to be issued under the Rights Issue. Caperi and Ms McGarry have also confirmed to the Company that neither are associated with Lamerton or Mr McGarry nor does it have any interest in Lamerton’s shares to be issued under the Rights Issue. Mr McGarry has confirmed the same.
The Company is not aware of either Caperi or Lamerton being associated with any other Existing Shareholders, the Underwriter or any other party in relation to the Company.
The Company considers both Caperi and Lamerton to be related parties and therefore has put in place appropriate corporate governance arrangements prior to finalising the structure of the Rights Issue (as referenced above, including Mr Cardaci abstaining from any involvement in decisions related to the final terms of the Rights Issue).
Caperi and Lamerton will each receive a sub-underwriting fee to be negotiated with and paid by the Underwriter to the sub-underwriters. While these arrangements are between the Underwriter and subunderwriter, the terms reflect the agreement negotiated at arm’s length between the Company and the Underwriter. Thus, the independent Board considers any financial benefit accruing to those parties as a result of the sub-underwriting to be both arm’s length and reasonable in the circumstances (and thus shareholder approval is not required for it to proceed). While the Underwriting Agreement was not conditional upon securing sub-underwriting commitments, the Company believes it was an important aspect of securing the full underwriting and thus increasing the certainty that the full amount offered under the Rights Issue will be raised.
The Underwriter has also informed the Company that it has entered into sub-underwriting arrangements with a number of other parties that are not related parties of the Company and in some cases do not hold a current shareholding in the Company.
Refer to section 3 of Part E for details on the potential effect on control of the Company.
10 Rounding of Rights
Fractional Rights to New Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share. Where the Company considers that holdings have been split in order to take advantage of this rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Rights.

9 When will you receive your New Shares?
It is expected that allotment of the New Shares will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. It is expected that the New Shares will be allotted and that transaction confirmation statements will be dispatched, on or before 14 October 2016. However, if the Closing Date is extended, the date for allotment and posting may also be extended.
No allotment of New Shares will be made until permission is granted for their quotation by ASX.
It is the responsibility of each Applicant applying for New Shares to confirm their holding before trading in those New Shares. Any person who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of the confirmation statement will do so at their own risk. The Company and the Share Registry disclaim all liability, whether in negligence or otherwise, to any person who trades in New Shares before receiving their confirmation statement.
Application Money will be held in trust in a subscription account until allotment. Any interest earned on Application Money will be retained by the Company, irrespective of whether allotment takes place.
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Offer Document and the offers made under the Rights Issue, in which case the Company will return all Application Money (without interest) as soon as practicable.

D Risk factors
Prior to deciding whether to apply for New Shares under the Rights Issue, Eligible Shareholders should read this Offer Document in its entirety and review all announcements made to the ASX in order to gain an understanding of the Company, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects. The risks included in this section are specific to the Company and its operations and are not exhaustive.
As the risks described in this section may impact upon the Company’s future performance, the Company and its Directors have taken steps to safeguard the Company from, and to mitigate the Company's exposure, to these risks.
1 Exploration
Exploration, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable mineral resources, establishment of an efficient exploration operation and obtaining necessary government approvals. The exploration activities may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, geological conditions, seasonal weather patterns, technical difficulties and failures, availability of the necessary drilling rigs, technical equipment and appropriately skilled and experienced technicians, adverse changes in government policy or legislation and access to appropriate funding when required.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration activities, or any other projects, tenements or databases that the Company may acquire in the future, will result in the discovery of any significant mineral resource. Even if a significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
2 Financing
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the results of exploration programs. An inability to obtain additional funding (if required) would have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business and the price of its Shares.
3 Gorno Definitive Feasibility Study
There is no guarantee that the Definitive Feasibility Study currently being undertaken by the Company at the Gorno Zinc Project will be economically viable. Even if the Definitive Feasibility Study does demonstrate that the Gorno Zinc Project is economically viable, further finance arrangements, agreements and regulatory approvals are likely to be required before any decision to commence mining can be made.
4 Approval Process
In relation to the projects in Italy, the Company has a number of exploration licence applications that are yet to be granted. This includes six applications adjacent to the Gorno Zinc Project, Novazza, Val Vedello, Predil and Salafossa. The Company cannot guarantee if or when these applications will be granted.
page 12
Energia Minerals Limited
5 Government policy
Italy
Mining and exploration activity in Italy is regulated by Regional governments with a consultation process that involves local government authorities. Mining activities are subject to the granting of a mining concession issued by the relevant Regional government. A mining concession is granted at the absolute discretion of the relevant Regional government. If the Company cannot obtain the appropriate mining concession or it is granted subject to onerous conditions, then the Company’s ability to conduct its development operations may be adversely affected.
Australia
Mining activity in Australia (and uranium mining in particular) is regulated by Federal and State governments. Complying with the relevant laws and regulations for exploration and mining in general and specifically for uranium may increase the costs of exploring, drilling, developing, construction, operating and closing mines and other production facilities.
In addition, environmental regulations impose obligations on companies that conduct the exploration for, and mining of, commodities. Such regulations also cover the subsequent transport of those produced minerals as well as the processing of ore into concentrate, as well as the possible effects of such activities on the environment and local communities. Future changes in governments, regulations and policies affecting any of the areas in which the Company has projects may have an adverse impact on the Company.
6 Title and transfer
In relation to the Company’s tenements, some or all of these may be the subject of applications for extension in the future. If a tenement is not extended, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on that tenement. In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that those tenements that exist will convert to mining tenure and therefore convert to productive mining operations.
7 No production revenue
The Company has not recorded any revenues from the Gorno Zinc Project and its other current projects, nor has it commenced commercial production on any of its projects. There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable in the future or at all.
8 Commodity price and demand, and exchange rates
The demand for, and price of, zinc are highly dependent upon a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, developments in alternative energy sources, actions taken by governments, global economic and political developments, exchange rates and the proper functioning of debt markets. In the event that the Company achieves exploration success leading to zinc production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company, including, the intensity of global manufacturing and construction activities, the supply of zinc as a result of the commissioning of new mines and the decommissioning of others, the sentiment and conditions in the countries and sectors where the Company or its business or commercial partners will potentially sell their products, and the price and availability of appropriate substitutes. Further, the international prices of various commodities, including zinc, are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are, and will be taken into account, in Australian dollars and Euros. This exposes the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the exchange rate between the Unites States dollar, the Australian dollar and Euro, as determined in international markets.
page 13
Energia Minerals Limited
9 Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on financial assets and liabilities held in Italy. The Company’s expenditure obligations in Italy are primarily in Euro and as a result the Company is exposed to fluctuations between the Euro and the Australian dollar. These exposures are not subject to a hedging program. The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of its operations in Italy.
10 General economic and market conditions
The operating and financial position of the Company is influenced by a range of general domestic and global economic and business conditions that are outside the control of the Company. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, political movements, stock market movements, interest rates, industrial disruption, environmental impacts, natural disasters, taxation changes and legislative or regulatory changes. A prolonged deterioration in market, business or economic conditions may potentially have an adverse impact on the Company and its operations.
11 Investment in capital markets
As with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of Shares regardless of the Company’s performance. The price of Shares might trade below or above the Issue Price for the New Shares.
12 Dependence on key personnel
The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel, including those employed on a contractual basis. The loss of the services of certain personnel could adversely affect the Company and its activities.
As shareholders will be aware, the Company’s current Managing Director Mr Kim Robinson was previously a non-executive director of Kagara Limited and Apex Minerals NL. Both of those companies were placed into liquidation whilst Mr Robinson held those positions. The Company has been informed that, as a result of Mr Robinson’s positions with those companies, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) has given notice requiring Mr Robinson to demonstrate why he should not be disqualified from managing corporations for a period of time. If such an order was to be made, Mr Robinson would be unable to continue as Managing Director of the Company and the Company would need to put in place alternative arrangements. Mr Robinson has informed the Company he is actively engaging with ASIC on this issue and will oppose any such order being made. As such, the process remains ongoing, incomplete and confidential. The circumstances giving rise to this notice do not otherwise involve the Company nor do they in any way relate to Mr Robinson’s performance of his role as Managing Director of the Company.

-
(b) participate in the Rights Issue as a result of being a holder of Shares registered on the share Register at 7.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date.
3 Potential effect on control
Current capital structure
The capital structure of the Company after the Rights Issue will be as follows (assuming none of the 39,750,000 options currently on issue are exercised before the Record Date and subject to rounding of any fractional Entitlements under the Rights Issue):
| Shares currently on issue | 609,020,979 |
|---|---|
| Maximum number of New Shares offered under the Rights Issue |
174,005,994 |
| Total Shares on issue on completion of the | |
| Rights Issue, assuming the maximum number | 783,026,973 |
| of New Shares that are offered are issued |
Current Substantial Shareholders
As at the date of this document and based on information made available to the Company, the current substantial shareholders of the Company are:
| Substantial shareholder | Shareholding | Shareholding % |
|---|---|---|
| Alexander Burns and associates1 139,847,071 22.96% |
||
| Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd 42,000,000 6.9% |
1 Holders of relevant interests are ASIM Holdings Pty Ltd and Mrs Elizabeth Burns & Mr Alexander Stuart Burns
Potential effect of the Rights Issue
The Rights Issue may have the following impact on Shareholders and the substantial shareholders of the Company:
-
(a) Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement should maintain their existing percentage interest in the total issued share capital of the Company;
-
(b) Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlement will be diluted – this is because the Rights Issue is fully underwritten and all New Shares will be issued;
-
(c) save as provided for below, assuming the existing substantial shareholders take up their full Entitlement, they should retain their existing percentage interest in the total issued share capital of the Company; and
-
(d) so far as the Company is aware, no one Shareholder will as a result of the Rights Issue increase its voting power from below 20% to above a 20% interest in the Company.
As described above, the Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting arrangements with Caperi.
page 16
Energia Minerals Limited
Whilst Caperi does not currently own any Shares in the Company, Capri is controlled by Ms Gayle McGarry who also controls existing shareholders Pollara Pty Ltd ( Pollara ) and Malvasia Pty Ltd ( Malvasia ). At the date of this document, those entities have a combined voting power of 4.16%.
Assuming Ms McGarry takes up the full Entitlement of the entities she controls and Caperi subscribes for its full entitlement under its sub-underwriting arrangements, then Ms McGarry’s voting power in the Company would increase from a current level of 4.16% to 13.06%.
The exact number of Shares that will be issued to Caperi will depend on the extent to which other Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Rights Issue. If there is insufficient Shortfall for Caperi to take up its full sub-underwriting commitment, then this voting power will be lower than that maximum percentage.
As stated above, Mr Cardaci has informed the Company that he has a current association with each of Caperi and Pollara in respect of the Shares they hold in Energia and an indirect interest in the Shares held by Malvasia (by virtue of being a beneficiary of the Spyder Super Fund of which Malvasia is the trustee). As a result, Mr Cardaci’s interest in the Company will change in the same manner.
Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd (the investment manager for entities including Ozgrowth Limited) ( Westoz ) currently has voting power of 6.9%. The Underwriter has informed the Company that it has entered into a sub-underwriting commitment with Westoz such that if Westoz takes up its full Entitlement and subscribes for its full entitlement under its sub-underwriting arrangements, its voting power in the Company would increase from a current level of 6.9% to 8.72%.
These numbers assume the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated and no options are exercised.
As the Underwriter has the power to appoint other sub-underwriters (including existing shareholders), it may be that there are other changes in shareholding. However, this power to appoint sub-underwriters is subject to their identity complying with law and takeovers policy and not resulting in any subunderwriter obtaining voting power in excess of 20% of the Company unless the Company consents otherwise.
