This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at Level 3, 18 Richardson Street West Perth, Western Australia on 27 August 2015 at 10 am (WST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice. A Proxy Form is included with this Explanatory Memorandum.

This Explanatory Memorandum contains two parts. Part A (Background to Resolutions 1 and 2) and Part B (Resolutions).

A Proxy Form is included with 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 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.

PART A

1. Background to Resolutions 1 and 2

1.1 Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement

  • (a) Farm-in interest

As announced on 8 July 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd ( Quadrio ) entered into a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement ( FIA

8

JV or Farm-in Agreement ) with First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd ( First Quantum ).

Under the FIA JV, First Quantum has a right to earn a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements by spending a total of $3.6 million on exploration expenditure on the Calingiri Tenements within 24 months ( Earning Period ).

First Quantum must spend a minimum of $1.2 million on exploration expenditure within 12 months and may only withdraw from the FIA JV once it has expended at least $1.2 million. If First Quantum withdraws, it will not earn any interest in the Calingiri Tenements and the FIA JV will terminate (except in respect of breaches occurring before termination).

The Company is appointed ‘Farm-in Manager’ (i.e., operator) and carry out and manage First Quantum’s exploration operations on the Calingiri Tenements.

The Company is entitled to an allowance to recover overhead and administrative costs in providing the services as Farm-in Manager.

The Company and First Quantum will form an exploration management committee with the Company and First Quantum each being entitled to appoint 1 representative as members of the committee and 1 alternate. The exploration management committee will determine the nature and scope of exploration operations and otherwise provide directions to the Farm-in Manager during the Earning Period.

All decisions before the exploration management committee will be decided by majority vote. The First Quantum representative is entitled to 50.1% of the votes and the Company’s representative is entitled to 49.9% of the votes.

The Farm-in Manager is responsible for preparing programmes and budgets for consideration and approval of the exploration management committee and must be prepared for periods each of 6 months duration.

(b) Conditions precedent

First Quantum’s right to earn an interest in the Calingiri Tenements is conditional upon and subject to:

  • (i) First Quantum obtaining Foreign Investment Review Board approvals or letters of ‘no objection’ to the proposed transaction; and

  • (ii) the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals required for the transactions contemplated by the FIA JV and the Supplementary Deed (summarised at paragraph 1.2 below).

(c) Formation of a joint venture

Under the FIA JV, once First Quantum’s farm-in obligation has been satisfied, it will earn a 50.1% Joint Venture Interest. Upon that interest being earned, Quadrio will transfer to First Quantum a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements and First Quantum and Quadrio will form an unincorporated joint venture under the terms of the FIA JV.

At that stage, First Quantum will be appointed ‘JV Manager’ (i.e., operator) and will be entitled to remain as JV Manager whilst it holds a Joint Venture Interest of 50% or greater.

First Quantum and Quadrio will each be entitled to appoint up to 2 representatives (and 2 alternates) to the operating committee. Each representative will have 1 vote for each

9

whole percentage point of that participant’s Joint Venture Interest as at the date of the meeting.

The main function of the operating committee is to review and give directions to the JV Manager and shall consider and approve the nature and content of programmes and budgets relating to joint venture operations proposed by the JV Manager.

In the event that the operating committee passes a resolution to commence mining operations on the Calingiri Tenements, the participants will in good faith negotiate and enter into a production joint venture agreement to replace the FIA JV but the FIA JV will continue to apply until that new document has been executed by the participants.

(d) Subsequent disposals by Quadrio under the FIA JV

If Quadrio suffers an ‘insolvency event’ (as defined in the FIA JV) during the Earning Period, First Quantum has an option to acquire the whole (but not less than the whole) of the Calingiri Tenements free from encumbrances at a price equal to the fair market value of the Calingiri Tenements. The fair market value may be agreed by First Quantum and Quadrio but in the absence of agreement, an independent expert appointed in accordance with the FIA JV will determine the value. First Quantum’s rights in this regard are secured by the Mining Mortgage (summarised at paragraph 1.3 below).

If Quadrio commits a material breach of the FIA JV after the Earning Period and that breach is not remedied for a period of not less than 30 days after notice of the breach, First Quantum will have the option to acquire the whole (but not less than the whole) of Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest by giving notice to Quadrio. The consideration payable on exercise of the option will be 95% of the fair market value of Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest which will either be agreed by First Quantum and Quadrio or determined by an independent expert appointed in accordance with the FIA JV in the absence of agreement. The consideration must be paid within 30 days after the exercise of the option and the determination of the fair market value.

First Quantum will have a right, for the period of six months that follow First Quantum earning a 50.1% Joint Venture Interest, to make an offer to acquire the whole of Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest by giving notice in writing to Quadrio setting out the terms of its offer. The offer must include consideration equal to the fair market value of Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest, and the parties must negotiate in good faith. Quadrio is not obliged to accept such an offer.

Each party has a right of first refusal in the event that the other party wishes to sell its Joint Venture Interest. If a party wishes to transfer its Joint Venture Interest to a third party, it must first offer the other party that interest on the same terms and conditions as the third party offer. The non-transferring party has 45 days to accept an offer to acquire the interest.

(e) Granting of and disposals under the Mining Mortgage

The Convertible Loan Agreement and Mining Mortgage provide that First Quantum has been granted and has a right to enforcement of its security over the Tenements under the Mining Mortgage. At present, if Quadrio defaults on the Convertible Loan Agreement, the Convertible Loan Agreement and Mining Mortgage provide that approval is sought for the grant of the Mining Mortgage and its potential enforcement.

First Quantum may enforce its security which may result in the disposal of the Tenements. Further, if conditions under the FIA JV are met, and Quadrio suffers an ‘insolvency event’ (as defined under the FIA JV) during the Earning Period, the FIA JV provides that First Quantum may enforce its security which protects First Quantum’s option to purchase Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest.

10

Either one of these scenarios could potentially result in a subsequent disposal of Quadrio’s interest in the Calingiri Tenements. In the second scenario, First Quantum protects its option to purchase Quadrio’s interest in the Joint Venture at the fair market value of the Tenements which will either be agreed by First Quantum and Quadrio or determined by an independent expert appointed in accordance with the FIA JV in the absence of agreement. The progression and terms of Mining Mortgage, and further details as to First Quantum’s security can be found at 1.3.

1.2 Supplementary Deed – Convertible Loan Agreement

As stated in the Company’s Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 10 October 2014, the Company and First Quantum are parties to the Convertible Loan Agreement, dated 25 September 2014 (as amended) ( Convertible Loan Agreement ). A summary of the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Loan Agreement was announced to the ASX on 25 September 2014 and 28 October 2014.

Under the Convertible Loan Agreement, First Quantum has provided $600,000 of interim funding to the Company to enable it to continue to advance its flagship Calingiri CopperMolybdenum Project in Western Australia. First Quantum has the option to convert any amount owing under the loan (including both principal and interest outstanding) into Shares by notice to the Company before and at the ‘maturity date’, which is 1 year from the date the applicable conditions under the Convertible Loan Agreement were satisfied (or waived in writing by First Quantum).

The amount of the loan outstanding as at the date of the Meeting is expected to be $628,630. The ‘conversion price’ under the Convertible Loan Agreement is the greater of the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the ASX for the 5 trading days prior to the date of conversion and or $0.017. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 35,294,118 Shares under the Convertible Loan Agreement was sought and received at the general meeting of Shareholders on 20 November 2014.

On 7 July 2015, the Company and First Quantum entered into a Supplementary Deed Convertible Loan Agreement in which they have agreed that subject to the conditions precedent to the FIA JV being satisfied, First Quantum will be deemed to have irrevocably converted all the loan amount (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreement) into Shares at an adjusted conversion price of $0.013 in full satisfaction of the loan ( Supplementary Deed ).

As a result of the decrease in conversion price from $0.017 to $0.013 under the Supplementary Deed, additional Shares may be issued on conversion of the loan and the Company considers it is prudent to seek further shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If the loan amount remains at $628,630 as at the date Shares are issued, a total of 48,356,154 Shares will be issued to First Quantum on conversion. The Supplementary Deed also gives First Quantum the right to nominate such number of board members so that First Quantum’s board representation in the Company is not less than one-third of the total number of Board members from time to time. Currently, the Company has 3 Directors on the Board which means that First Quantum will be entitled to appoint 1 nominee to the Board when the conditions precedent to the FIA JV have been satisfied. First Quantum will cease to have board appointment rights if it withdraws from the FIA JV, disposes of its Joint Venture Interest or the Calingiri Joint Venture is otherwise terminated.

The Company is seeking approval for the issue of up to 48,356,154 Shares to First Quantum on conversion of the loan under the Convertible Loan Agreement (as amended by the Supplementary Deed).

11

1.3 Mining Mortgage

In connection with the Convertible Loan Agreement, Quadrio granted a mining mortgage over the Calingiri Tenements in favour of First Quantum on 29 October 2014 to secure First Quantum’s right to be repaid the loan amount under the Convertible Loan Agreement ( Mining Mortgage ).

The Mining Mortgage has been registered with the Department of Mines and Petroleum over the Calingiri Tenements. First Quantum has also registered a financing statement on the Personal Property and Security Register in relation to the Mining Mortgage.

Presently, the Mining Mortgage provides that, if Quadrio defaults on its obligations under the Convertible Loan Agreement, First Quantum may, amongst other rights;

  • (i) declare the secured monies under the Convertible Loan Agreement immediately due and payable;

  • (ii) terminate or suspend any of its obligations; or

  • (iii) enforce its security.

First Quantum may, in turn, appoint a controller to act as a receiver and manager of the Calingiri Tenements under the Mining Mortgage. The controller would have vast powers over the secured property, including the ability to lease out or sell the secured property. First Quantum could also exercise the powers of the controller. Any monies generated under these powers of First Quantum or any appointed controller, will first be used for costs, then the discharge of the Mining Mortgage, any other secured interest First Quantum is aware of, and finally any surplus would be remitted to Quadrio (without interest).

The Mining Mortgage will be amended, with effect 2 business days after the conditions precedent to the FIA JV have been satisfied, subject to the conversion of the loan amount (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreement) owing under the Convertible Loan Agreement into Shares, so that First Quantum will have the right to enforce its security if Quadrio suffers an ‘insolvency event’ (as defined by the FIA JV) during the Earning Period. The Mining Mortgage will protect First Quantum’s option to buy-out Quadrio’s Joint Venture Interest at the fair market value of the Tenements which will either be agreed by First Quantum and Quadrio or determined by an independent expert appointed in accordance with the FIA JV in the absence of agreement.

PART B

1. Resolution 1 – Approval of the disposal of a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Copper-Molybdenum Project

As set out in Part A, the Company, First Quantum and Quadrio (as applicable) have entered into the FIA JV, the Supplementary Deed and the Mining Mortgage ( Transaction Documents ) in relation to First Quantum’s right to acquire a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements.

The key terms and conditions precedent to the Transaction Documents are set out in

Part A.

Resolution 1 relates to the disposal by Quadrio of a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements to First Quantum the grant of the Mining Mortgage as it stands and as amended, and any future disposals of Quadrio’s interest in the Calingiri Tenements or its

12

Joint Venture Interest pursuant to the Transaction Documents as described in paragraphs 1.1(d) and 1.3 of Part A.

Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity (or an entity which is controlled by the body corporate within the meaning of section 50AA of the Corporations Act or a subsidiary of the entity) must not acquire a substantial asset from, or dispose of a substantial asset to (among others) a substantial holder (if the person and the person’s associates have a Relevant Interest, or had a Relevant Interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities) without the approval of holders of the entity’s ordinary securities.

A substantial asset is defined as an asset whose value, or the consideration for it, is 5% or more of the equity interests in the company.

First Quantum is a substantial holder holding a 11.17% interest in the Company as at the date of this Notice. The consideration for First Quantum earning a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements from Quadrio is $3.6 million, which is more than 5% of the equity interests in the Company. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.1.

Listing Rule 10.10 provides that the notice of meeting that seeks approval must include a voting exclusion statement under which a party to the transaction and its associates must not vote and an independent expert’s report which states whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to holders of the entity’s ordinary securities whose votes are not disregarded.

Accompanying this Notice at Annexure A is an Independent Expert’s Report prepared by Stantons International Securities. The Independent Expert has concluded that the disposals of the Calingiri Tenements and Joint Venture Interests under the terms of the transaction documents is not fair but reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders.

Shareholders are encouraged to read the Independent Expert’s Report carefully.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice.

2. Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of Shares under Convertible Loan Agreement

As set out in paragraph 1.2 of Part A, Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 35,294,118 Shares under the Convertible Loan Agreement was sought and received at the general meeting of Shareholders on 20 November 2014.

Since then, the Company and First Quantum have amended the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement by the Supplementary Deed and have amended the conversion price from $0.017 to $0.013. The loan amount, as at the date of the Meeting is expected to be $628,630.

The new conversion price will result in the issue of up to 48,356,154 Shares to First Quantum on conversion of the loan amount, which will occur under the Convertible Loan Agreement (as amended) 2 business days after the conditions precedent to the FIA JV have been satisfied.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the issue of up to 48,356,154 Shares to First Quantum under the Convertible Loan Agreement (as amended).

13

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of Equity Securities a company may issue (or agree to issue) in any 12 month period without shareholder approval to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (subject to specified exceptions).

The effect of passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue up to 48,356,154 Shares during the three month period after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of this Notice the Company has 886,072,424 Shares on issue. If Resolution 2 is passed and the 48,356,154 Shares are issued, the dilution effect will be approximately 5.17% (based on the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice).

The proposed issue of up to 48,356,154 Shares will be without disclosure under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided:

  • (a) Up to 48,356,154 Shares may be issued.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (subject to any ASX waivers) and will be issued in full, not progressively.

  • (c) The Shares will be issued at $0.013 per Share.

  • (d) The Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

  • (e) The Shares will be issued to First Quantum.

  • (f) The Company will not raise any funds through the issue of Shares.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice.

3. Resolution 3 – Ratification of previous issue of Shares

During the last 12 months, the Company issued 25,898,445 Shares to contractors for carrying out exploration activities for the Company without disclosure to investors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of Equity Securities a company may issue (or agree to issue) in any 12 month period without shareholder approval to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (subject to specified exceptions).

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s members subsequently approve it.

The Placement contains 2 Tranches. Tranche 1 of the Placement has completed and resulted in the issue of 140,134,291 Shares under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A to investors who do not require disclosure under section 708 of the Corporations Act ( Exempt Investors ).

Approvals required

Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the Company to issue the above Shares and Options.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that the Company must not issue Equity Securities to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies, or shareholder approval is obtained.

Shares issued under this Resolution would fall within an exception. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2 and 15% restriction

If shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11 for Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 then the Listing Rules provide that shareholder approval will not be required for the purposes of the 15% restriction in Listing Rule 7.1 as that Listing Rule applies to the issue of the Shares and the Options.

7. Resolution 9 – Issue of Options to Corporate advisor

This Resolution asks Shareholders to approve the issue of up to 12 million Options to the Company’s corporate advisor Palladion (or its nominee) for assisting the Company with facilitating and implementing the Placement.

The Options will be on the same terms as the Options being issued under Tranche 2 of the Placement, the terms of which are set out in Annexure B.

Palladion will also be paid a 6% fee based on the total amount raised under the Placement, made up of a 2% transaction management fee and a 4% placement fee which will be paid to brokers or other intermediaries as an incentive for the participation of their clients in the Placement. The 4% placement fee will not be applied to amounts raised by the Directors and management.

The number of Options that will be issued to Palladion will be determined by the total amount of funds raised by the Company under the Placement as follows:

Amount raised under the Placement Number of Options issued
Up to $500,000 Nil
Greater than $500,000 to $1.25 million 6.5 million Options
Greater than $1.25 million 12 million Options

Palladion may use some of the Options it is entitled to be issued to incentivise broker groups to support the Placement, however any such allocations will be at the Company’s discretion.

Approving this Resolution will allow the Company to maintain its maximum placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. In the event that this Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will seek to issue the Options to Palladion under any existing placement capacity the Company has under the Listing Rules, to the extent possible.

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of Equity Securities a company may issue (or agree to issue) in any 12 month period without shareholder approval to 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (subject to specified exceptions).

Dear Sirs

1. Introduction

  • 1.1 We have been requested by the Directors of Caravel Minerals Limited (“Caravel” or “the Company”) to prepare an Independent Expert’s Report to determine the fairness and reasonableness of various proposals with FQM as noted in Resolution 1 of the Notice of Meeting (“The Notice”) and as more fully described in Part A of the Explanatory Memorandum (“EM”) attached to the Notice and as outlined below in paragraph 1.8.

  • 1.2 FQM,(a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Limited) on or around 6 June 2015 entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd (“Quadrio”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Caravel over certain tenements (“Tenements”) owned by Quadrio. FQM is a wholly owned subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Limited, a Canadian listed company with a recent market capitalisation of approximately $13 billion. The First Quantum Minerals Limited Group operates seven mines and is developing five projects worldwide (mainly in copper, nickel, zinc and platinum) in Australia, Africa and Europe. In addition projects are being investigated in Zambia, Peru, Finland and Panama. The farm-in agreement was then formalised through a definitive Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement (“FIA”) on or around 8 July 2015 (as announced to the market on 8 July 2015).

3.4 Effect of failure to spend

If FQM does not comply with either clause 3.1(a) or clause 3.1(b) within the time required then FQM shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this Agreement without having earned any interest in the Tenements and clauses 3.1(c) and (b) shall apply.

  • 3.6 Insolvency event

End of edited extract from the FIA

  • 1.5 Further and complete details are set out in the EM attached to the Notice.

  • 1.6 FQM who is owed principal $600,000 by way of a convertible note (“Note”) issued by Caravel agrees to convert the Note to shares in Caravel. The conversion price is 1.3 cents per Note. It is expected that interest on the Note to the 27 August 2015 (expected date to convert) would approximate $18,630 and thus the potential conversion may total $628,630.

CAR7433/ Caravel IER on the Proposals July 2015

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

If the shares are issued, the Note amount of $628,630 would be extinguished to $nil and Caravel would issue 48,356,134 shares (“Note Shares”) to FQM.

In connection with the Convertible Loan Agreement, Quadrio granted a mining mortgage over the Calingiri Tenements in favour of First Quantum on 29 October 2014 to secure FQM’s right to be repaid the loan amount under the Convertible Loan Agreement (“Mining Mortgage”).

The Mining Mortgage has been registered with the Department of Mines and Petroleum over the Calingiri Tenements. FQM has also registered a financing statement on the Personal Property and Security Register in relation to the Mining Mortgage.

The Mining Mortgage will be amended so that it will secure performance by Quadrio under the FIA JV. This was undertaken by the signing of a Supplementary Deed - Convertible Loan Agreement in July 2015.

The amendments to the Mining Mortgage will take effect 2 business days after the conditions precedent to the FIA JV have been satisfied.

  • 1.7 ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity must not acquire a substantial asset from, or dispose of a substantial asset to a related party. A substantial asset is an asset valued at greater than 5% of the equity interests of a company. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1, FQM is a substantial shareholder of the Company (owned approximately 11.17% (83,333,333 shares) of the issued share capital of Caravel as at 8 July 2015 and after the recent Tranche 1 Placement now owns approximately 9.41%) and is therefore deemed a related party. The consideration being paid (the potential payment by FQMA of up to $3.6 million to earn up to a 50.1% interest in the Tenements owned by Quadrio) is deemed to be worth more than 5% of the audited net assets as at 30 June 2014. Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 for the potential deemed disposal of a significant asset (the Calingiri Project”) to FQM.

  • 1.8 ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that shareholder approval sought for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 must include a report on the proposed acquisition from an independent expert. Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd has been requested to provide an opinion on the fairness and reasonableness to the non-associated shareholders of Caravel on the proposals with FQM and in particular whether:

  • the grant of the earn-in right under the farm-in agreement is fair and reasonable;

  • the transfer of a 50.1% interest in the Tenements on completion of the earn-in is fair and reasonable;

  • the first right to offer and negotiate a buy-out if FQM earns-in is fair and reasonable;

  • the option to acquire the Tenements for fair market value during the earn-in period in the event of insolvency of Quadrio is fair and reasonable’

  • the buy-out right in the event of a default for 95% of fair market value is fair and reasonable;

  • the right of first refusal during the joint venture phase is fair and reasonable; and

  • the grant by Quadrio of the Mining Mortgage in favour of FQM (as amended by the Supplementary Deed)

( the Proposals ).

The actual wording of the actual Resolution 1 (that covers all of the Proposals) is as follows:

  • (1) the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd to dispose a 50.1% interest in the Calingiri Tenements to First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd;

  • (2) the grant by Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd of the Mining Mortgage in favour of First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd as amended by the Supplementary Deed;

  • (3) (any subsequent disposals by Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd to First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd of all of its interest in the Calingiri Tenements (or its Joint Venture Interest) as a result of the exercise by First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd of certain rights under the FIA JV and the Mining Mortgage as described in paragraph 1.1(d) of Part A of the Explanatory Memorandum, which relate to First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd’s:

  • (i) buy-out right in the event of Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd suffering an ‘insolvency event’ (as defined in the FIA JV);

  • (ii) buy-out right in the event of a material breach of the FIA JV by Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd;

  • (iii) for the period of 6 months that follow First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd earning a 50.1% Joint Venture Interest, the right to offer to acquire Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd’s Joint Venture Interest;

  • (iv) first right of refusal in the event Quadrio Resources Pty Ltd wishes to assign its Joint Venture Interest to a third party; and

  • (v) enforcement rights under the Mining Mortgage.

on the terms and conditions as set out in the Explanatory Memorandum."

  • 1.9 The Proposals are outlined in Resolution 1 of the Notice and we are reporting on the fairness and/or reasonableness of each of the Proposals. We are not specifically reporting on the planned conversion of $600,000 of Notes owned by FQM in Caravel at 1.3 cents each but do note that if converted (to be converted as part of the agreement with FQM), the beneficial shareholding of First Quantum Minerals Limited (includes FQM) in Caravel would increase from approximately 11.17% (83,333,333 shares) as at 8 July 2015 (and approximately 9.41% after the issue of the Tranche 1 shares noted below) to approximately 13.15% (131,689,487 shares) after the issue of the Tranche 2 shares (as noted below) and the 48,356,154 Note Shares to FQM.

Based on an announcement made by the Company on 13 July 2015, the Company is to make a placement of 207,420,009 shares in two tranches at 0.7 cents per share to raise a gross $1,451,940. 1 free attached share option will be issued for every 2 shares issued and each share option will be exercisable at 1.3 cents each, on or before 31 January 2017. The first tranche is the issue of 140,134,291 shares to raise an initial $980,940 (“Tranche 1) and the second tranche will be the issue of 67,285,718 shares (“Tranche 2”) and the Tranche 2 issue of securities will be issued after shareholders approve the Tranche 2 issue (including shares to be issued to Directors and related entities). 122,991,429 of the Tranche 1 shares were issued on or about 17 July 2015 and the remaining 17,142,862 Tranche 1 Shares were issued on 22 July 2015) and the Tranche 2 Shares (along with 103,710,005 free attached share options) is expected to occur at the same time as the issue of the Note Shares to FQM (following shareholder approval in late August 2015 or early September 2015).

  • Fairness and conclusion as to fairness

  • Reasonableness and conclusions of the Proposals

  • Shareholder decision

  • Sources of information

  • Appendix A, our Financial Services Guide and the Valuation Report on the Tenements

  • 1.11 In determining the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposals as noted above and in resolution 1, we have had regard for the definitions set out by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) in its Regulatory Guide 111, “Content of Expert Reports”. Regulatory Guide 111 states that an opinion as to whether an offer is fair and/or reasonable shall entail a comparison between the offer price and the value that may be attributed to the securities under offer (fairness) and an examination to determine whether there is justification for the offer price on objective grounds after reference to that value (reasonableness). The concept of “fairness” is taken to be the value of the offer price, or the consideration, being equal to or greater than the value of the securities in the above mentioned offer. Furthermore, this comparison should be made assuming 100% ownership of the “target” and irrespective of whether the consideration is scrip or cash.

An offer is “reasonable” if it is fair. An offer may also be reasonable, if despite not being ”fair”, there are sufficient grounds for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer. Although in this case the Proposals with FQM do not relate to a takeover offer, we have considered the general principals noted above to determine our opinions on fairness and reasonableness.

  • 1.12 In our opinion, taking into account the factors noted in this report, the Proposals as outlined in paragraph 1.8 and Resolution 1 may, on balance, taking into account the factors referred to in 9 below and elsewhere in this report, be considered to be not fair but reasonable to the shareholders of Caravel (not associated with First Quantum Minerals Limited that includes FQM) as at the date of this report.

  • 1.13 The opinions expressed above must be read in conjunction with the more detailed analysis and comments made in this report, including the 9 July 2015 Agricola Valuation Report on the Tenements owned by Quadrio prepared by Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd (“Agricola”) a copy of which is attached as an appendix to the Notice.

  • Implications of the Proposals

  • 2.1 The Company will receive an upfront payment of $500,000 from FQM as part of the initial farm-in funding by FQM.

  • Quadrio grants to FQM the right to earn, and FQMA may earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements by:

  • (a) spending a minimum of $1,200,000 on Earning Expenditure within 12 months of the Commencement Date; and

  • (b) spending a minimum of $3,600,000 on Earning Expenditure within 24 months of the Commencement Date (including the Earning Expenditure referred to in clause 3.1(a); and.

  • (c) FQM’s obligation under clause 3.1(a) is a firm commitment and FQM must pay any shortfall in the committed expenditure of $1,200,000 to Quadrio as at the expiry of 12 months from the Commitment Date.

  • 2.2 In the event that FQM does not meet its obligation to spend $3,600,000 within 24 months of the Commencement Date, FQM will not have earned a 50.1% (or any percentage) in the Tenements.

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • 2.3 If FQM spends the monies to earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements (an effective 50.1% in the two main tenements comprising the Calingiri Project), a joint venture will be formed in which FQM’s interest will be an initial 50.1% and Quadrio’s interest will be an initial 40.9% interest. The initial Joint Venture Manager would be FQM.

  • 2.4 If an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of Quadrio during the Earning Period then:

  • (a) FQM will have the option to acquire the whole (but not less than the whole) of the Tenements free from encumbrances.

  • (b) In order to exercise the option FQM must give notice in writing to Quadrio.

  • (c) The consideration will be an amount equal to the fair market value of the Tenements (as agreed between FQM and Quadrio or in the absence of agreement, determined by an independent expert appointed under clause 9.3).

  • (d) The consideration must be paid within 30 days after the later of the acceptance of the offer and the determination of the fair market value in exchange for which Quadrio must provide to FQM:

    • (i) unstamped but otherwise registrable transfers in respect of the Tenements, in favour of FQM as transferee, duly executed by Quadrio as transferor and

    • (ii) any other document or thing required by FQM to give full effect to the transfer of the Tenements to FQM free from encumbrances.

  • 2.5 The current Board of Directors may change in the near future as a result of the Proposals as under the FIA a representative of First Quantum Minerals Limited may be appointed to be a Board member but at this stage no nominee has been nominated. As at 22 July 2015, the Board comprised Marcel Hilmer, Peter Alexander and James Harris. The Company Secretary is Simon Robertson. FQM has the right to nominate such persons to the Board that will ensure that the nominees of FQM represent not less than one-third of the total number of persons on the Board from time to time.

Corporate History and Nature of Businesses

Caravel

  • 3.1 Principal Activities and Significant Assets

Caravel is an ASX listed mineral exploration and evaluation company having achieved an ASX listing on 3 November 2006. It was formerly known as Silver Swan Group Limited, but shareholders approved the change of name to Caravel Minerals Limited on 19 November 2012. The Caravel Group’s most significant mineral interests are as follows:

  • Calingiri Project – a copper-gold-molybdenum project in Western Australia (two main targets being called Bindi and Dasher that are located on the Tenements); and

  • Wynberg Project – a copper-gold project in Queensland (attempting to farm out or sale).

Future Directions of Caravel

  • 4.1

We have been advised by the directors and management of Caravel that:

  • There are no proposals currently contemplated either whereby Caravel will farm-out any further properties or assets to FQM but as noted there are opportunities for FQM to acquire an initial 50.1% interest in the Tenements and acquire all of the Tenements (via Insolvency of Quadrio or an offer to Quadrio to acquire 100% of the Tenements);

  • The composition of the Board may change in the short term as noted above;

  • The Company may raise further capital in 2015/16 if the needs arise and subject to market conditions (refer paragraph 1.9 above as to the Placement of shares);

CAR7433/ Caravel IER on the Proposals July 2015

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • No dividend policy has been set; and

  • The Company will endeavour to enhance the value of its interests in its mining assets and in particular the Calingiri Project.

5.

Value of the Tenements (the subject of the FIA with FQM)

  • 5.1 In order for us to assess the fairness of the Proposals with FQM, we sought an independent valuation of the Tenements, the subject of the FIA. We in conjunction with the Company commissioned Agricola (Author of the Valuation Report was Malcolm Castle) to prepare a valuation report of the Tenements owned by QRL and subject to the FIA. The Agricola Valuation Report of 9 July 2015 should be read in its entirety and a full copy of the Agricola Valuation Report is attached as an Appendix to the Notice and EM. The Agricola Valuation Report ascribes a range of values to the Tenements and for the purposes of our report we have referred to the low, high and mid range valuations referred to in the Agricola Valuation Report and concluded based on the preferred valuation.

  • 5.2 We have used and relied on the Agricola Valuation Report on the Tenements and have satisfied ourselves that:

  • Agricola is a suitably qualified consulting firm and has relevant experience in assessing the merits of mineral projects and preparing mineral asset valuations (also the principal author of the report Malcolm Castle is suitably qualified and experienced);

  • Agricola and Malcolm Castle are independent from Caravel; and

  • Agricola has to the best of our knowledge employed recognised methodologies in the preparation of the 9 July 2015 Agricola Valuation Report on the Tenements.

  • 5.3 Agricola has ascribed a range of values to the Tenements as follows:

E70/2788
E70/4476
Low
$
2,900,000
2,800,000
5,700,000
Preferred
$
3,900,000
3,800,000
7,700,000
High
$
6,500,000
6,200,000
12,700,000

Thus, a 50.1% interest in the Tenements is valued at between $2,855,700 (low) and $6,362,700 (high) with a preferred valuation of $3,857,700.

It is noted that as at 1 June 2015, the date of the announcement of the proposals with FQM, the market capitalisation of the Company approximated $8,200,000 and notwithstanding low volumes of trades, the minority shareholders are ascribing a value to the Calingiri project close to the preferred fair value by Agricola. .

6. Conclusion as to Fairness

  • 6.1 The proposal to allow FQM to earn an initial 50.1% interest in the Tenements is believed to be fair to Caravel’s non-associated shareholders if the value of the consideration offered is equal to or less than the value of the consideration payable by FQM to earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements.

  • 6.2 The valuation of mining interests and valuing future profitability and cash flows is extremely subjective as it involves assumptions regarding future events that are not capable of independent substantiation.

  • 6.3 We make a comparison on the value of a 50.1% current interest in the Tenements with the potential consideration payable by FQM to earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements.

Low Preferred High Value of a 50.1% interest in the Tenements $2,855,700 $3,857,700 $6,362,700

Consideration payable over 24 months to earn a 50.1% Interest in the Tenements $3,600,000 $3,600,000 $3,600,000

As the consideration payable by FQM is less than the fair market value of the Tenements as ascribed by Agricola (except for the low value), the proposal to grant the earn-in right and allow a potential transfer of a 50.1% in the Tenements to FQM are on its own not fair.

  • 6.4 In the event of insolvency of Quadrio during the earn-in period, FQM has the option to acquire 100% of the Tenements at fair market value. As FQM, if this event occurred, would be paying what would be considered fair market value and thus the option to acquire the Tenements (and the price payable) would be considered fair. It is noted that the downside is that some other party may be prepared to pay more than fair market value but this is unlikely.

  • 6.5 It is noted that FQM has the right (option) to offer and negotiate a buy-out of the Tenements at fair market value once FQM has earned a 50.1% interest in the Tenements. In effect, FQM would have acquired a 50.1% interest in the Tenements for $3,600,000 (below market value) and even though FQM would need to pay fair market value to acquire the remaining 49.9% interest in the Tenements, overall FQM to acquire a 100% interest have paid less than 100% of fair market value at the date of buy-out (if it occurred) and on such a parameter the overall acquisition by FQM of 100% of the Tenements would not be fair.

However, in isolation (excluding the initial 50.1% interest that we have concluded is not fair), the acquisition of the remaining 49.9% interest in the Tenements at fair market value would be considered fair.

  • 6.6 If, after the Earning Period, a Participant in the Joint Venture commits a material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement and that breach continues unremedied for a period of not less than 30 days after the JV Manager or other Participant has served a notice to rectify or an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of a Participant, the Participant will be deemed to be a "Defaulting Party". In that event, the non-defaulting Participant will have the option to acquire the whole (but not less than the whole) of the Joint Venture Interest of a Defaulting Party.

In order to exercise the option the non-defaulting Participant must give notice in writing to the Defaulting Party. The consideration will be an amount equal to 95% of the fair market value of the Defaulting Party's Joint Venture Interest (as agreed between the Participants or in the absence of agreement, determined by an independent expert appointed under clause 0) subject to adjustment for any amounts already paid by the non-defaulting Participant on behalf of the Defaulting Party. This consideration must be paid within 30 days after the later of the exercise of the option and the determination of the fair market value

It is possible that if Quadrio was the defaulting party and did not remedy the breaches, FQM could obtain the remaining 49.9% interest in the Joint Venture owned by Quadrio at 95% of the then fair market value of such interest. As the potential payout by FQM is less than 100% of fair market value, the proposal that would allow FQM to acquire the 49.9% interest in the Joint Venture from Quadrio as described, would technically not be fair.

  • 6.7 Quadrio granted a mining mortgage over the Calingiri Tenements in favour of FQM on 29 October 2014 to secure First Quantum’s right to be repaid the loan amount under the Convertible Loan Agreement. The Mining Mortgage will be amended so that it will secure performance by Quadrio under the FIA JV. It is not unusual for a potential majority joint venture party to seek security over assets to protect its interests. The Mining Mortgage is already in place and notwithstanding that the $600,000 of Notes is to be extinguished by the issue of 46,153,846 Note Shares (ordinary shares in Caravel), it is our view that the new terms to protect FQM’s interest in the FIA are not unusual and thus may be considered fair.

  • 6.8 As noted above, some of the individual Proposals may be fair on their own and others are not fair . As there is only one resolution shareholders can vote for on the Proposals, it is our view that overall the Proposals as noted in resolution 1 are not fair to the shareholders of Caravel not associated with First Quantum (including FQM).

7. Reasonableness of the Proposals

  • 7.1 We set out below some of the advantages and disadvantages and other factors pertaining to the Proposals that we considered in arriving at our conclusion on the reasonableness of the Proposals (and Resolution 1).

Advantages

  • 7.2 The Company has very limited funds at the date of this report and the ability of junior explorers such as Caravel to raise significant sums of money on commercial terms is quite low and even if it could occur, it would be very dilutive. The current share price is around 0.8 cents to 1.1 cents. Even if monies could be raised, the discount to market value may be between 15% and 40% (and possibly higher). It is noted that subsequent to commencing a draft of this report, Caravel has negotiated a Placement at 0.7 cents to raise a gross $1,451,940 (in two Tranches as noted in paragraph 1.9 above of which Tranche 1 has now been issued) and a net approximately $1,380,000. We have been advised that the Placement was able to be achieved due to the announcement of the Proposals with FQM. The discount to the market prices in June 2015 to 8 July 2015 was between 12.5% and 36.36%. The FIA allows Caravel to save spending $3,600,000 over a 24 month period on the Tenements that form part of the Caravel Group’s flagship project (the Calingiri Project). Notwithstanding the Placement (part completed), Caravel does not currently have sufficient funds to spend further significant monies on the Tenements. FQM would fund the on-going exploration and evaluation of the Tenements.

  • 7.3 The Company may be better placed to raise further funds by way of share equity in the event that FQM acquires a 50.1% interest in the Tenements. It is unlikely that FQM will spend the whole of the $3,600,000 over 24 months if the Tenements were not proving to be potentially commercial. The value of the Tenements may In 24 month time (after FQM has spent $3,600,000) may arguably be worth more than current assessed values (refer section 5 above) and thus the ability to raise new equity in 24 months after commencement of the earn-in period would arguably be enhanced.

  • 7.4 There is an incentive to Caravel and FQM, to successfully exploit the Tenements as FQM will need to pay $3,600,000 to earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements and it currently has a significant 9.14% shareholding interests in Caravel (was 11.17% before the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares) (that could increase to approximately 13.15% on conversion of the $628,630 of Notes that includes accrued interest of $28,630 as referred to above and the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares). It is noted that FQM needs to spend a minimum of $1,200,000 in the first year from Commencement and that if FQM withdraws before spending $3,600,000 the FIA ceases and FQM would hold no interest in the Tenements.

Disadvantages

  • 7.5 If FQM spend the $3,600,000 and earns a 50.1% interest in the Tenements, the Caravel Group’s interest in the tenements reduces from 100% to 49.9% and thus has a lesser interest if the Tenements were commercialised via production.

  • 7.6 There is always the risk that the Caravel Group cannot raise sufficient funds to funds its 49.9% interest in the Joint Venture (assuming FQM has earned its 50.1% interest). Under such a scenario, FQM may acquire Quadrio’s interest at less than market value (95% of market value as noted above) and thus the Caravel’s interest in the Tenements would be nil (but the Caravel Group would receive cash equal to 95% of a 49.9% interest in the Tenements).

Other Factors

  • 7.7 It would be expected that any proposed new board member (to be nominated by FQM but not yet named) should bring further technical and business experience to the Board of Caravel.

CAR7433/ Caravel IER on the Proposals July 2015

11

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • 7.8 Although not noted in the FIA, it has been agreed that FQM will convert the $600,000 Note and accrued interest of $28,630 (owing by Caravel to FQM) at 1.3 cents per share (the original conversion price was 1.7 cents per share). If shareholders approve the new conversion terms and FQM converts the Note to share equity in Caravel and all Placement Shares are issued (Tranche 1 has been issued, FQM’s shareholding interest in Caravel will increase to approximately 13.15% (from 11.17% as at 8 July 2015 and now 9.41% as at 22 July 2015) and the number of shares on issue increases from 745,938,133 to 1,001,314,696. It is noted that the proposed new conversion price is at a premium of between 18.18% and 85.71% to share prices of Caravel shares trading on ASX in the April 2015 to June 2015 period (62.5% premium based on a Caravel share price on 22 July 2015 of 0.8 cents). It is noted that the Placement is being completed at 0.7 cents per Placement Share and the exercise price of the free attached share options (to the Placement Shares) is 1.3 cents.

By conversion to share equity of the Note principal of $600,000 and the accrued interest to 27 August 2015 estimated at $28,630, the liabilities of the Caravel Group reduce by $628,630 (any interest owing after 27 August 2015 in the event of conversion after that date will be paid to FQM in cash).

  • 7.9 The basic terms of the FIA are not that different to other farm-in agreements/Joint Venture agreements sighted by us over the past few years. The Mining Mortgage as amended to include securing performance by Quadrio under the FIA JV. As FQM is in effect financing exploration over the next 2 years of up to $3,600,000 (with no guarantee that it will earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements until all expenditure has been incurred), it is not unreasonable for FQM wanting to protect its potential 50.1% interest.

  • 7.10 In the event of insolvency by Quadrio (and probably its parent, caravel), an Administrator appointed would seek to maximise value by negotiating with interested parties to acquire the Tenements. In most cases, under an Administration scenario, the realisable value of assets are materially less than book values and technical values ascribed by recognised valuers – investors/buyers look for buying opportunities to take advantage of the poor state of affairs of the seller. In the case of Quadrio, under an insolvency arrangement, FQM has the option to acquire the Tenements at fair market value which may be more than a forced sale value.

  • 7.11 The market capitalisation of the Caravel group in May/June 2015 ranged between approximately $5.96 million and $8.20 million with a mid-point of around $7.08 million ($5.96 million as at 17 July 2015 before the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares) and $7.08 million after the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (approximately $7.08 million as at 22 July 2015). The cash and other current assets of the Caravel Group approximate liabilities (before the Tranche 1 Placement) and thus, in effect, the investors are ascribing the value of the Caravel Group’s mineral assets to be between $5.96 million and $8.20 million. Anecdotal evidence would lead to the conclusion that the “value” is predominately attributable to the Calingiri Project being the flagship project of the Caravel Group.

A 50.1% value would range between $2.989 million and $4.110 million ($3.547 million as at 22 July 2015) and the Consideration payable by FQM to earn a 50.1% interest in the Tenements over 24 months is $3.6 million.

  1. Conclusion as to Reasonableness

  2. 8.1 After taking into account the factors referred to in 7 above and elsewhere in this report, we are of the opinion that the advantages to the existing shareholders outweigh the disadvantages and thus the Proposals as noted in paragraphs 1.8 and Resolution 1 in the Notice are considered, on balance, to be reasonable to the existing non-associated shareholders of Caravel at the date of his report.

9. Shareholder Decision

  • 9.1 Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd has been engaged to prepare an independent expert’s report setting out whether in its opinion the Proposals are fair and reasonable and state reasons for that opinion. Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd has not been engaged to provide a recommendation to shareholders in relation to the Proposals under Resolution 1 but we have been requested to determine whether the Proposals pursuant to Resolution 1 are fair and/or reasonable to those shareholders not associated with FQM. The responsibility for such a voting recommendation lies with the directors of Caravel.

  • 9.2 In any event, the decision whether to accept or reject Resolution 1 (and all other Resolutions) is a matter for individual shareholders based on each shareholder’s views as to value, their expectations about future market conditions and their particular circumstances, including risk profile, liquidity preference, investment strategy, portfolio structure and tax position.

If in any doubt as to the action they should take in relation to the proposals under Resolution 1 (and all other Resolutions), shareholders should consult their own professional adviser.

  • 9.3 Similarly, it is a matter for individual shareholders as to whether to buy, hold or sell shares in Caravel. This is an investment decision upon which Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd does not offer an opinion and is independent on whether to accept the proposals under Resolution 1 (and all other resolutions). Shareholders should consult their own professional adviser in this regard.

10. Sources of Information

  • 10.1 In making our assessment as to whether the Proposals as noted in paragraph 1.8 and Resolution 1 are fair and reasonable, we have reviewed relevant published available information and other unpublished information of the Company, Quadrio and the Tenements that is relevant to the current circumstances. In addition, we have held discussions with the management of Caravel about the present and future operations of the Company. Statements and opinions contained in this report are given in good faith but in the preparation of this report, we have relied in part on information provided by the directors and management of Caravel.
