Dear Shareholder,

Shareholder Update and Notice of Meeting

Please find attached a Notice of General Meeting to be held on the 15 April 2014.

The passing of these resolutions will ratify and approve decisions which will allow Apollo to achieve a number of significant milestones this financial year.

  • Resolutions 1 to 4 ratify a recent share placement which raised $1,250,000, after costs, and approve the related options.

  • Resolutions 7 and 8 approve the issue of shares to HPX Australia Holdings Pty Limited (HPX) which will raise up to a further $2.4 million.

As outlined in the background to resolutions 7 and 8 on pages 16 of the attached notice, HPX will also farm in to the Commonwealth Hill Joint Venture project contributing significant funds to explore for a major Iron Oxide Copper Gold deposit in South Australia.

Through these transactions the Company would have concluded equity and joint venture funding of approximately $7 million in an ongoing difficult capital market for exploration companies, which is an indication of the confidence that investors have in the Commonwealth Hill project.

In addition, as reported to the ASX on 29 January 2014 the Company has signed a nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding with an international strategic group to earn up to 50.01% of the Gabon Kango North Iron project for a contribution of $4 million. Formal agreements are still subject to due diligence and negotiation.

The agreements outlined above will inject much needed funding into Apollo’s projects without significant dilution to shareholders interests and progress the development of the projects which if successful will add significant value for all shareholders. In addition the funding will allow Apollo to look for new projects and opportunities.

We look forward to your ongoing support as a shareholder of Apollo Minerals Limited.

Yours faithfully,

6.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6, as it will allow the Company greater flexibility to issue further securities which could assist the Company to raise capital and assist in preserving the Company’s cash outlays.

BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 7 & 8

As announced to ASX on 26 February 2014, the Company has entered into a strategic alliance with HPX Australia Holdings Pty Ltd ( “HPX” ) (a subsidiary of High Power Exploration Inc.). Under the strategic alliance, the Company has entered into a subscription agreement with HPX on 26 February 2014 (“ Agreement ”) whereby HPX has agreed to subscribe for shares in two tranches.

The first tranche of 50,000,000 Shares will raise A$1,000,000 for the Company before costs.

The second tranche means an amount equal to such number of Shares that, on the second tranche placement date, results in HPX having voting power in the Company of 19.99% being issued at the lower of:

Page 16

Apollo Notice of EGM

  • (a) 2.4 cents; and

  • (b) In the event of a Proposed Equity Issue on or before the Second Tranche Completion Date, the issue price of ordinary shares under the Proposed Equity Issue.

The second tranche will be no less than 60,800,000 shares and in the event that additional shares are required to bring the HPX shareholding to 19.99% they will be issued out of the Company’s 15% capacity.

Shareholders are asked by Resolution 7 to approve the allotment and issue of tranche 1 so that the issue of 50,000,000 Shares will not be counted as reducing the number of equity securities which the Company may issue without Shareholder approval under the limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Under the Subscription Agreement, Apollo has agreed to grant HPX the top up right to subscribe for further shares in the Company in the event of certain future share issues by the Company. The grant of these rights and Options is subject to receipt from ASX of a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 6.18. The Company has received this waiver from the ASX.

Shareholders are asked by Resolution 8 to approve the allotment and issue of tranche 2 so that the issue of 60,800,000 Shares will not be counted as reducing the number of equity securities which the Company may issue without Shareholder approval under the limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of Shares under tranche 2 is conditional on the ASX waiver, as outlined above, being received. The Company has received this waiver from the ASX.

The strategic alliance with HPX (“Joint Venture Agreement”) also provides for HPX to farm-in to the Commonwealth Hill project earning up to an 80% interest for exploration funding of $3.4 million as follows:

HPX will have the right to earn a 51% interest in the Commonwealth Hill project by spending $1.7 million by 31 December 2015 (“Phase 1”) amd HPX will have the right to earn an additional 29% interest in the Commonwealth Hill project by expending a further $1.7 million within 18 months of the Phase 1 earn in (“Phase 2”).

A joint venture agreement between the Company and HPX at the end of Phase 1 provides that the Company and HPX will agree to joint venture the Commonwealth Hill Project which includes a Deed of Cross Security.

ASX have confirmed that Listing Rule 10.1 does not apply to the subscription agreement signed on 26 February 2014 and announcement lodged on 26 February 2014 (the Agreement) provided:

Page 17

Apollo Notice of EGM

  • a) The terms of the Agreement are not varied

  • b) Shareholders of the Company approve all resolutions in relation to the Agreement.

Listing Rule 10.1 requires that the Company must not acquire or dispose of a substantial asset to a related party or a subsidiary without shareholder approval.

A capital structure chart and HPX interest in the Company post these share issues is as follows:
