RNI NL ABN 77 085 806 284 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Friday, 17 July 2015 at 11.00am (WST).

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company, and provides Shareholders with the information required to be provided to Shareholders by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Statement carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a "proxy") to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the General Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the General Meeting in person.

3. Resolutions 1 and 2 – General Explanation of Ratification of Issues of Securities

Resolutions 1 and 2 have been proposed so that Shareholders may consider and if thought fit approve and ratify, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes, the separate issues of securities described in each of those Resolutions.

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of securities the Company may issue without Shareholder approval in a 12-month period to the number which is 15% of its issued capital.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows Shareholders to subsequently approve previous issues of securities made without Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issues did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. In order to replenish its capacity to issue shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the separate issues described in Resolutions 1 and 2 to give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities up to the 15% limit without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval.

If either Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed by Shareholders, this will have no impact on the securities issued. However, if any one of those Resolutions is not passed by Shareholders the securities to which that Resolution relates would be included in calculating the 15% limit of securities which may be issued by the Company in a 12-month period.

4. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Issue of Shares and Options

Resolution 1 has been proposed so that Shareholders may consider and if thought fit approve and ratify, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes, the

  • (f) funds raised met the working capital requirements of the Company and were applied towards exploration and evaluation of existing tenements, development and administration costs; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chairman of the General Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Ratification of Issue of Shares

Resolution 2 has been proposed so that Shareholders may consider and if thought fit approve and ratify, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes, the issue by the Company of 18,340,588 Shares ( February Placement Shares ) and 9,170,294 unlisted $0.15 options ( February $0.15 Options ) which were issued by the Company (on the basis of 1 February $0.15 Option for each February Placement Share) on 19 February 2015 by way of a placement under Section 708 of the Corporations to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $1.25 million as announced to ASX on 16 February 2015.

For the purposes of Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) the February Placement Shares and February $0.15 Options were issued on 19 February 2015;

  • (b) the February Placement Shares were issued at $0.075 each and the February $0.15 Options were issued for no additional consideration;

8

RNI NL ABN 77 085 806 284 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • (c) the February Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the February Placement Shares and February $0.15 Options were issued to sophisticated investors and are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company;

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chairman of the General Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Issue of Director’s Options – Royce McAuslane

Under Resolution 3, Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of Director’s Options for no consideration to Royce McAuslane as follows:

Table 1

Table 1
Director No. of
Director’s
Options
Exercise Price Expiry Date
Royce McAuslane 5,000,000 $0.14 17 July2020

(a) Number, Price and Allottees

The Company will issue the Director’s Options described above to Royce McAuslane, or his respective nominee(s), for no cash consideration and on the terms referred to below, within one month of the date of the General Meeting.

On 30 December 2014, the Company announced the issue of 5,000,000 Director’s Options to Royce McAuslane, subject to Shareholder approval. The exercise price represented an 84% premium to the closing price of the Shares of $0.076 on 30 December 2014 and represents an 833% premium to the closing price of the Shares $0.015 on 8 June 2015.

  • (b) Use of Funds Raised

No funds will be raised from the issue of the Director’s Options under Resolution 3.

  • (c) Terms of Director’s Options

The terms of the Director’s Options are included in Schedule 2 of the Notice.

9

RNI NL ABN 77 085 806 284 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

(d) Other Information

The primary purpose of the issue of Director’s Options is not to raise capital, but to provide an incentive to Royce McAuslane. Given this purpose, the Company does not believe that there are any significant opportunity costs or benefits forgone by the issue of the Director’s Options.

The market price of the Shares during the term of the Director’s Options would normally determine whether or not the Director’s Option Holder exercises the Director’s Option. At the time any Director’s Options are exercised and Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any Director’s Option, the Shares may be trading on ASX at a price which is higher than the Exercise Price of the Director’s Options. Where this is the case, the opportunity cost may be that the Company could have received greater consideration for the issue of the Shares than the applicable Exercise Price.

During the preceding 12 months ended 8 June 2015, the Company’s Share price has traded from a low of $0.014 per Share on 2 June 2015 to a high of $0.225 per Share on 11 July 2014. The closing price of the Company’s shares on8 June 2015 was $0.015 per Share.

ASIC has indicated the Black-Scholes option price calculation method is an acceptable method for valuing options. This method is designed to value listed securities that are freely tradable and hence it is not entirely appropriate or reliable in the current circumstances where the Director’s Options proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolution 3, will be transferable but not listed. Nevertheless, a value for each of the Director’s Options as at the date of the Notice of Meeting has been estimated to be approximately $0.008 per Option by applying the BlackScholes option pricing model based on the particulars contained in the following Table:

Table 2

Unlisted options exercisable at $0.26 on or before 8 October 2019 12,500,000

(f) Potential Dilution

If:

  1. none of the existing unlisted Options to acquire Shares are exercised but all Director’s Options are issued pursuant to Resolution 3 and are exercised, the total dilution effect of the issue and exercise of all 5,000,000 Director’s Options on the Company’s Share capital would be approximately 0.99%; and

  2. all of the existing unlisted Options to acquire Shares are exercised and all Director’s Options are issued pursuant to Resolution 3 and are exercised, the total dilution effect of the issue and exercise of all 5,000,000 Director’s Options on the Company’s fully diluted Share capital would be approximately 0.83%.

On 28 May 2015, the Company lodged a prospectus dated 28 May 2015 ( Prospectus ) under which the Company is offering Eligible Shareholders, the opportunity to acquire additional securities in the Company through a renounceable entitlements issue ( Entitlements Offer ) on the basis of 2.5 new fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.02 each ( New Shares ) for each 1 Share held at 5.00 pm (WST) on 4 June 2015, together with 1 attaching new option ( New Option ), each exercisable at $0.03 at any time before 5.00pm WST on 31 January 2017, for each 1 New Share issued.

If any entitlements under the Entitlements Offer are not taken up in full, the number of unaccepted New Shares (and attaching New Options) will form the shortfall ( Shortfall ) and pursuant Exception 3 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, the

11

RNI NL ABN 77 085 806 284 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Directors have reserved the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Entitlements Offer, pursuant to a shortfall offer made in the Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ), at an issue price of not less than $0.02 for each New Share comprised in the Shortfall ( Shortfall Shares ), together with 1 attaching New Option for every 1 New Share issued. The Directors will exercise this discretion in consultation with the lead manager. The Entitlements Offer and the Shortfall Offer are not underwritten and are collectively referred to in this Explanatory Statement as the Offers .

Based on the Company’s existing capital structure, and disregarding any Entitlements relating to Shares that may be issued on the exercise of Options, approximately 1,251,366,363 New Shares and 1,251,366,363 New Options will be issued pursuant to the Offers, if they are fully subscribed, raising approximately $25,027,327 before the costs of the Offer.

If:

  1. none of the Entitlements are taken up, none of the existing unlisted Options to acquire Shares are exercised but all Director’s Options are issued pursuant to Resolution 3 and are exercised, the total dilution effect of the issue and exercise of all 5,000,000 Director’s Options on the Company’s Share capital would be approximately 0.99%; as specified in paragraph 6(f)1; and

  2. all of the existing unlisted Options are exercised, all Director’s Options are issued pursuant to Resolution 3 and are exercised, all of the Entitlements under the Prospectus are taken up all the New Options issue under the Prospectus are exercised, the total dilution effect of the issue and exercise of all 5,000,000 Director’s Options on the Company’s fully diluted Share capital would be approximately 0.16%.

(g) Director’s Interests

(h) Director’s Remuneration

Royce McAuslane was appointed to the Board on 11 November 2014 and is remunerated at a rate of $185,000 per annum.

The Board was obliged to review Royce McAuslane’s remuneration package 6 months after appointment, which fell due on 11 May 2015. This review has been deferred until the completion of the current recapitalisation plan which includes the issues of securities under the Offers.

Other than the issue of Director’s Options the subject of Resolution 3 and the deferred review of his remuneration package, the Company currently has no intention of materially altering the above remuneration.

12

RNI NL ABN 77 085 806 284 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • (i) Directors’ Recommendations

All of the Directors were available to consider the proposed Resolution.

The Directors consider that the issue of the Director’s Options would constitute reasonable remuneration and by passing Resolution 3, Shareholders will be approving the issue of the Director’s Options to Royce McAuslane and resolving that this constitutes reasonable remuneration.

Royce McAuslane declined to make a recommendation about the proposed Resolution 3 on the basis that he has a material personal interest in the outcome of that resolution. All other Directors of the Company recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as, having considered Royce McAuslane’s experience and responsibilities and the Company’s current circumstances, they each consider the issue of the Director’s Options to be a reasonable and proper incentive to Royce McAuslane to encourage the growth of the Company and maximize the value of each Shareholder’s investment in the Company.

The Chairman of the General Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

  • (j) Additional Information

Other than the information disclosed above or elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement, no Director has an interest in the outcome of the proposed Resolution 3 (other than as Directors of, and holders of securities in, the Company) and neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s interests to pass Resolution 3.

  • (n) If a bonus share allotment is made by the Company to its ordinary Shareholders at any time after the issue of a Convertible Note but before conversion, and if the Noteholder issues a Conversion Notice the Company will issue and allot to that Noteholder:

  • (ii) the number of Shares issued will be equal to the number of Shares to which that Noteholder would have been entitled if the face value of the Convertible Notes in respect of which the Conversion Notice is issued, had been converted immediately before the making of the bonus Share allotment,

on terms and conditions that are the same as or are no more favourable to the Noteholder than the terms and conditions on which the Shares are allotted to any ordinary Shareholder.

  • (o) Convertible Notes may be transferred by Noteholders.
