ASX Release 13 October 2016 September 2016 Quarterly Activities Report

The activities of CYU during the three months to 30 September 2016 were as follows:

Entitlement Offer to Existing CYU Shareholders

On 20 September 2016, CYU announced a non-renounceable entitlement offer to existing shareholders (“the Offer”). The main features of the Offer included the following:

  • One (1) new fully paid ordinary share for every two (2) held;

  • Issue price of 0.6 cents ($0.006) per new share;

  • To raise up to $1.77M before costs of the offer (if fully subscribed);

  • Offer underwritten up to a maximum of $1.384M by the Company’s second-largest Shareholder, Bienitial International Industrial Co., Ltd; and

  • Offer also partially underwritten by Managing Director, Paul Williams, to a maximum $100k.

The Offer is scheduled to close on Friday, 14 October 2016. If the Offer is fully subscribed, 295,638,237 new shares will be issued by CYU, creating a new total issued capital for CYU of 886,914,712 ordinary shares.

Variation of Mary Kathleen Joint Venture

On 20 September 2016 CYU entered into a further variation deed with Goldsearch Ltd which effectively terminated the Mary Kathleen Joint Venture between the two companies. Under this further variation deed, Goldsearch agreed to waive its future 1.75% net smelter royalty entitlement. The position of Goldsearch is consistent with their stated objective to pursue other opportunities outside of the resource sector.

Mount Isa Exploration Activities

During the Quarter, CYU management was focussed almost entirely on the assessment of copper and gold project opportunities. As a consequence, very limited exploration activities were conducted for the three months to 30 September 2016 as CYU continues to explore its options in the Mount Isa region. A final decision about the Mount Isa tenure holdings will be made by CYU after closure of the entitlement offer mentioned above.

Exploration Expenditure for September 2016 Quarter

Across CYU’s various exploration projects, a total of $8,000 of expenditure was incurred for the September 2016 Quarter, a summary of which is as follows:

  • Mary Kathleen JV - $3,000 on geological consulting and tenure admin fees;

  • Mt Frosty JV – $2,000 on geological consulting and tenure admin fees;

  • Cloncurry North (EPM 12205) – $3,000 on tenure rentals admin fees.

Corporate Update

Proposed Acquisition Activities

The CYU Board is working closely with JCHX Group in the ongoing assessment and acquisition of new project opportunities – not just limited to copper projects but also gold and other base metals. The CYU Board continues to hold a view that the current difficult

resources market conditions are ideal for business development and acquisition activities. Further news about these activities will be made available to the market as soon as possible.

Board Composition

Mr Paul Williams, Managing Director

Mr Robert Yang, Executive Director Mr Xiancheng Wang, Non-Executive Director

Mr Paul Marshall, Company Secretary

Financial Position

As at 30 September 2016, CYU had cash reserves of $0.625M. Together with the funds proposed to be raised under the entitlement offer to existing shareholders, this will provide more than sufficient funding to enable CYU to carry out project assessment review activities for the foreseeable future. In the event of CYU securing a project opportunity, additional funding will likely be required. Details of these requirements will be provided to shareholders and the market at the first available opportunity.

Further details of CYU’s financial activities during the September 2016 quarter are set out in the Appendix 5B Quarterly Cashflow Statement which accompanies this Report.
