1. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
==> picture [308 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
ACN 119 057 457
5 July 2019
Dear Shareholder
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
In order to raise ongoing working capital to continue to progress the pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese Oxide Project, the Directors have decided to undertake a capital raising.
To enable Shareholders the opportunity to participate in this capital raising at current prices, which are at the lowest point in over three years, the decision was taken to undertake the capital raising by way of a non-renounceable rights issue. Each Qualifying Shareholder will be entitled to two new Shares for every seven Shares currently held as at the Record Date (10 July 2019). The Directors have selected what they consider to be an attractive price for the offer, bearing in mind the potential value of the Company’s 50% interest in the Mt Thirsty Project.
This Issue is not underwritten, but the Directors and Tasman (the Company’s largest Shareholder which holds a 13.27% shareholding interest in the Company) have indicated that they intend to participate in this Issue. Whilst the Directors and Tasman may not necessarily take up their Entitlements in full, the Directors are optimistic that there will be adequate support to ensure the success of this Issue.
Yours faithfully

Any extension of the Closing Date will have a consequential effect on the date for the issue of new Shares.
2.3. PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE
The funds raised under this Issue are to augment the existing funds held by the Company to enable the Company:
- (a) to continue progressing the pre-feasibility study (“ PFS ”) for the Company’s Mt Thirsty Cobalt-NickelManganese Oxide Project (“ Project ”); and
5
- (b) to provide ongoing working capital to cover operating expenses for approximately 6 (if this Issue is at least 30% subscribed) to 12 (if this Issue is fully subscribed) months.
Set out below is a table summarising approximately how the Directors intend to apply the proceeds of this Issue against the above use categories, in each of the following scenarios:
-
(a) this Issue raises $301,507.00 (on the assumption that it is 30% subscribed);
-
(b) this Issue raises $502,512.00 (on the assumption that it is 50% subscribed);
-
(c) this Issue raises $753,767.00 (on the assumption that it is 75% subscribed); and
-
(d) this Issue raises $1,005,023.58 (on the assumption that it is fully subscribed).
| Funds raised under this Issue Intended Allocation of Funds: Costs of the Offer Project General working capital* |
30% (paragraph (a) above) |
50% (paragraph (b) above) |
75% (paragraph (c) above) |
Maximum (paragraph (d) above) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $301,507 $21,000 (6.97%) $25,000 (8.29%) $255,507 (84.74%) |
$502,512 $22,000 (4.38%) $100,000 (19.90%) $380,512 (75.72%) |
$753,767 $22,500 (2.99%) $225,000 (29.85%) $506,267 (67.16%) |
$1,005,023.58 $23,500 (2.34%) $425,000 (42.29%) $556,523.58 (55.37%) |
*The increasing costs of the Offer reflect the change in the ASX quotation fee (which will increase as the level of subscription increases).
**The working capital funds will be used to firstly meet all the normal ongoing operating costs and expenses of the Company and, if in the Directors’ opinion sufficient further funds are available, to fund any costs associated with assessment or acquisition of new projects and/or to supplement the amounts allocated to the Project. Working capital funds may be supplemented with existing funds held by the Company and any R&D Tax Rebates received by the Company.
Given the speculative nature of the Company’s business, the intended allocation of funds as set out above may change depending upon market conditions.
Based on the information available to it, and its current plans and budgets (and subject to any changes thereto), the Directors believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and fund ongoing working capital requirements for approximately 6 (assuming this Issue is at least 30% subscribed) to 12 (if this Issue is fully subscribed) months after completion of this Issue. In the event this Issue is not at least 30% subscribed, the Directors anticipate having to raise further funds before the expiration of the 6 month period.
In the event of a rise in the price of Cobalt, the Company may complete a further capital raising within this 6 to 12 month period to accelerate the Project PFS.

2.5. ENTITLEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN OFFER
Only Qualifying Shareholders are eligible to participate in the Offer.
The number of Shares to which each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Document.
In the calculation of Entitlements, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements.
In relation to Foreign Shareholders, please refer to section 2.17 of this Offer Document.
2.6. NON - RENOUNCEABLE - NO RIGHTS TRADING
This Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis such that Qualifying Shareholders may not sell or transfer all or any part of their Entitlement. If Qualifying Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement by the Closing Date, their Entitlement to new Shares under this Offer will lapse.
2.7. NOT UNDERWRITTEN
The Offer is not being underwritten.
7
2.8. APPLICATIONS
This Offer may be accepted by Qualifying Shareholders in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offer Period or close the Offer early.
Instructions for accepting an Entitlement are set out in section 3 of this Offer Document and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form that accompanies this Offer Document.
2.9. APPLICATION MONEY
All Applicants who exercise their Rights in full will receive their Entitlement in full.
New Shares will be issued to Applicants only after all of their Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the new Shares to be quoted.
Application Moneys received by the Company from Applicants for new Shares will be held in trust in a separate account by the Company until those Shares are issued. Any interest earned on Application Moneys will be applied against the costs of the Issue, with any balance being retained by the Company.
If the Offer does not proceed (for whatever reason), the Application Moneys will be returned without interest.
2.10. CLOSING DATE
The Closing Date for the Issue is 5.00 pm WST on 30 July 2019. Subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Directors may extend the Closing Date at any time prior to the Closing Date. The date the Shares are expected to commence trading on ASX may vary with any change to the Closing Date.
2.11. ISSUE OF NEW SHARES
The new Shares will be issued to Applicants, and holding statements for the new Shares will be dispatched to Applicants, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
2.12. RANKING OF NEW SHARES
On issue, the new Shares will rank equally with all other Shares then on issue.
2.13. SHORTFALL
If not all Qualifying Shareholders take up their Entitlements under this Offer in full, the portion not taken up will form part of the Shortfall.
Qualifying Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall, regardless of the size of their present holding.
The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Offer Document. The issue price of any new Shares comprising part of the Shortfall shall be $0.01, being the price at which the Entitlement has been offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to this Offer Document.
Qualifying Shareholders who wish to participate in the offer of the Shortfall by applying for new Shares above their Entitlement, should insert the number of additional new Shares they wish to apply for in that section of the table in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form headed "Number of Shortfall Shares (if any) applied for in excess of the Entitlement shown above". Any additional new Shares applied for must be paid in the same manner as the Entitlement Shares are paid for. A single payment should be made for the Application Moneys for any new Shares you have applied for as part of your Entitlement and any additional new Shares applied for as part of the Shortfall. It is an express term of the offer of the Shortfall that applicants for new Shares comprised in the Shortfall will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional new Shares than the number applied for.
8
The Shortfall will be placed at the discretion of the Company, and the Company reserves the right to not allot any of the Shortfall or to allot to a Qualifying Shareholder a lesser number of the new Shares comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the Qualifying Shareholder applies or to reject an application. In assessing any application by a Qualifying Shareholder to take up a portion of the Shortfall, the Company will take into account the number of Shares held by that Qualifying Shareholder as at the Record Date and the Company does not intend that a Qualifying Shareholder with a small shareholding in the Company will be issued a large portion of the Shortfall (if any). Qualifying Shareholders who apply for additional new Shares in excess of their Entitlement receive no guarantee that they shall receive all or any of those additional new Shares for which they apply. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not receive all or any of the additional new Shares they apply for, any excess Application Moneys will be returned to them (without interest).
The Directors (whether personally or through their associated companies or trusts) will not apply for any additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall.
The Directors reserve the right to place the balance of the Shortfall not subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders under this Issue or under the separate offer made pursuant to this section 2.13 within 3 months of the Closing Date at an issue price of not less than the issue price under this Offer, being $0.01 per Share.
2.14. ASX QUOTATION
The Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares to be issued under this Offer granted official quotation.
2.15. MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION
There is no minimum subscription.
2.16. OVERSUBSCRIPTIONS
Oversubscriptions will not be accepted.
2.17. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend this Offer to Foreign Shareholders having regard to the number of Foreign Shareholders, the number and value of Shares that would be offered to them and the costs of complying with the legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, of the applicable jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.
Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Offer Document or the Accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand (other than to Qualifying Shareholders).
Accordingly this Offer is not extended to, and no Shares will be issued to, Foreign Shareholders, and no Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be sent to Foreign Shareholders. However, in compliance with Listing Rule 7.7.1, the Company will send each Foreign Shareholder details of this Offer and advise them that the Company will not offer Shares to them.
2.18. DIRECTOR SHAREHOLDING
As at the date of this Offer Document, all of the Directors (either personally, or through associated companies or trusts) hold Shares in the Company. The Directors are all Qualifying Shareholders and will therefore receive Rights to subscribe for new Shares pursuant to this Offer.
The relevant interest of each of the Directors in the Shares of the Company as at the date of this Offer Document, and assuming they take up their Rights in full by applying for all of the new Shares to which they are entitled under this Offer (but do not take up any of the Shortfall), is as follows:

33,420,413 | 31,115,392 | 22,096,115 | 37,770,536 |
Nothing in this Offer Document will be taken to preclude any of the Directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of their subsidiary companies from applying for new Shares under this Offer.
Each of the Directors of the Company, and the companies and trusts which are associated with them, have indicated to the Company that whilst they may not take up their Entitlement in full, they intend to participate in this Offer.
2.19. EFFECT ON EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS AND OPTIONHOLDERS
Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Rights in full will not have their proportionate interest in the Company diluted by this Offer. The proportionate interest of a Qualifying Shareholder who takes up their Entitlement in full and applies for (and is issued) additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall will increase.
Qualifying Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights in full will have their interest in the Company diluted.
Foreign Shareholders will have their interest in the Company diluted.
Existing Optionholders who do not exercise all or any of their Options before the Record Date will not be entitled to participate in this Issue with respect to those Options (and, if the Options are subsequently exercised, the interest which the Shares issued consequent upon the exercise of the Options will confer in the Company will have been diluted by this Issue).
2.20. IMPACT ON CONTROL
The new Shares issued under this Offer will represent up to 22.22% of the expanded issued Share capital upon completion of the Offer (depending on the level of take up of the Rights).
The Company’s largest Shareholder, Tasman, has indicated to the Company that it may not take up all of its Rights, but that it will participate in this Issue. Tasman does not intend to apply for any of the Shortfall. The following table summaries the potential increase in Tasman’s shareholding in the Company at the completion of the Offer, depending on the level of take up of the Rights.
| Tasman | % of total | |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Shares held | 46,660,821 | 13.27% |
| Maximum Shares held on completion of this Rights Issue (estimated)* | 59,992,485 | 16.43%** |
| Existing Options held | 5,184,536 | 1.50% |
| Maximum Options held on completion of this Rights Issue (estimated)* | 5,184,536 | 1.50%** |
*On the assumption that Tasman takes up all of its Rights and does not exercise any of its existing Options prior to the Record Date.
10
** On the assumption that Tasman is the only Qualifying Shareholder to take up its Rights under this Issue (and that Tasman takes up all of its Rights), that none of the Shortfall is taken up and that no Shareholders exercise any of their existing Options prior to the Record Date.
In any event, Tasman has indicated to the Company that it does not have any present intention to try to change the Company’s main activities, business or direction.
2.21. MARKET PRICES OF EXISTING SHARES ON ASX
The highest and lowest market sale price of the existing Shares during the 3 months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Offer Document with ASX, and the last market sale price on the business day immediately preceding the lodgement date of this Offer Document, are set out below.
3-Month High 3-Month Low Last Market Price (on 8 April 2019 & 30 April 2019) (on 13 June 2019) (on 3 July 2019) Existing Shares $0.016 $0.010 $0.013
2.22. RISKS
Investing in new Shares in the Company involves some risk. There are a number of factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of an investment with the Company.
2.22.1. Feasibility Study Risk
The PFS is currently underway and will take into account results of, amongst others, metallurgical test work, forecasted capital and operating costs, forecast metal prices, and forecast exchange rates, and there is no guarantee that the final outcome of this study will result in the further advancement of this Project in the near future or at all.
2.22.2. Mineral Resource Risk
Resources estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
2.22.3. Project Financing
Even assuming a successful outcome in the PFS, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds to progress the Project to a mining operation.
2.22.4. Working Capital
Until the Company is able to realise value from the Project, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. The Company is only raising sufficient funds pursuant to this Issue to cover approximately 6 (assuming this Issue is at least 30% subscribed) to 12 (if this Issue is fully subscribed) months’ working capital requirements and, subject only to the terms of any joint venture or other commercial arrangement which may be entered into, the Company is likely to have to raise further capital or borrow funds at the expiration of that period. There is no guarantee that such additional funds will be available to the Company. Further, any additional equity financing which is available may be dilutive to Shareholders.
The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.
11
2.22.5. Other Specific Risks
Other risks specific to the Company include the success of its exploration and development of the tenements of the Company (which is dependent on numerous operational and production variables), its title to, and conditions imposed on the grant of, the tenements, commodity price volatility and exchange rate fluctuations, native title rights of Aboriginal Australians, environmental protection and contamination, the success of any joint venture arrangements to which the Company is or may become a party and the insolvency or any other managerial failure of any contractors or service providers used by the Company.
2.22.6. Share Market Conditions
The price of the new Shares when quoted on ASX will be influenced by international and domestic factors affecting market conditions in equity, financial and commodity markets. These factors may affect the share price for all listed companies, and the price of the Company’s Shares and Options may fall or rise, and the price of the new Shares may trade below or above the issue price of the new Shares under this Offer Document. The price of the Company’s Shares and Options may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
2.22.7. General Risks
Risks of a general nature include the domestic and international factors affecting market conditions in equity, financial and commodity markets, economic conditions, interest rates, levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice, governmental legislation or intervention, inflation, natural disasters or war. Some of these factors can be mitigated by appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of the Company, are dependent on the policies adopted and approaches taken by regulatory authorities, or cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you are unsure about subscribing for new Shares in the Company, you should first seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant, financial or other professional adviser.
The new Shares offered under this Offer Document carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to the future performance of the Company.
As with any equity investment, substantial fluctuations in the value of your investment may occur. This Offer Document does not set out all the risks you may face in applying for, and holding, additional Shares in the Company.
2.23. EXPENSES OF THE ISSUE
The total expenses of the Offer are estimated to be $23,500 (exclusive of any GST) comprising legal fees, printing, postage and share registry costs and ASX quotation fees.
2.24. TAXATION
It is the responsibility of all Qualifying Shareholders to satisfy themselves of the particular taxation treatment that applies to them by consulting their own professional tax advisers before investing in new Shares. Taxation consequences will depend on particular circumstances. Neither the Company nor any of its officers accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any taxation consequences connected with an investment in the Shares of the Company.
2.25. CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in s.111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of the Corporations Act and its Shares are enhanced disclosure securities quoted on ASX and, as such, the Company is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
Specifically, the Company is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the securities markets conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any
12
information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable period would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its securities.
This Offer Document is intended to be read in conjunction with the publically available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include information that would be included in a disclosure document or which investors ought to have regard to in deciding whether to subscribe for new Shares under the Offer. Qualifying Shareholders should therefore have regard to the other publically available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
All announcements made by the Company are available from its website www.conico.com.au or on ASX’s website www.asx.com.au. Additionally, the Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASX yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a directors’ statement and report, and an audit report or audit review.

This acceptance cannot be withdrawn. Instructions on how to make a payment by B-Pay® are set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Qualifying Shareholders should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and they should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

If you are paying by cheque or money order, Shares will only be issued on receipt of an Entitlement and Acceptance Form which was issued together with this Offer Document.

14
Entitlement and Acceptance Form on the terms set out in this Offer Document. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be binding.
An Entitlement and Acceptance Form which does not specify an Australian or New Zealand address for service (or which is accompanied by payment drawn on a foreign bank account) may be rejected and returned unless Shareholders provide evidence which satisfies the Company that the issue of the Shares will not contravene the laws of any other jurisdiction.
If an Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly the Company can reject it or treat it as valid. The Company’s decision as to whether to reject the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or treat it as valid and how to construe, amend or complete it is final.
If Qualifying Shareholders apply for more Shares than their Entitlement, they will be deemed to have applied for their full Entitlement and for additional new Shares under the Offer of the Shortfall in section 2.13 to the extent of the excess. If the amount a Qualifying Shareholders pays is insufficient to pay for their full Entitlement, they will be taken to have applied for such lower number of Shares as that amount will pay for.
No brokerage or duty is payable by Qualifying Shareholders on the issue of Shares.
If you are a Qualifying Shareholder and you take up part of your Rights only, the balance of your Rights will lapse.
3.3. CONSEQUENCES OF DOING NOTHING – RIGHTS NOT TAKEN UP
Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to take up any of their Entitlement do not need to take any action. Any Rights not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders will lapse at the expiration of the Offer Period.
