ASX Announcement

Date: 12 December 2014

ASX Code: COY

PLACEMENT AND CONVERTIBLE NOTE AGREEMENT

Coppermoly Limited ( Coppermoly ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a placement and convertible note agreement with a new investor, Jade Triumph International Limited ( Jade Triumph ), to raise up to $1.5M ( Agreement ).

The key features of the Agreement are as follows:

  • (a) An upfront placement of 30,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in Coppermoly ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.01 (1 cent) per Share to raise $300,000 ( Placement ); and

  • (b) The issue of 60,000,000 convertible notes at an issue price of $0.02 ( Convertible Notes ) to raise a total of $1,200,000 (before costs), in two separate tranches, being:

  • i. an initial upfront issue of 38,750,000 Convertible Notes to raise $775,000 ( Initial Tranche ); and

  • ii. a subsequent issue of 21,250,000 Convertible Notes to raise $425,000, which is subject to Coppermoly first receiving Shareholder approval for that issue.

  • (c) Each Convertible Note is:

  • i. convertible into one Share within 24 months of the issue of the Initial Tranche ( Maturity Date ), at the Option of the holder, subject to such conversion not resulting in the holder breaching the Corporations Act 2001;

  • ii. accrues interest a rate of 7% per annum, repayable at maturity; and

  • iii. may be repaid by Coppermoly at any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to Coppermoly paying the holder a break fee equal to 5% of the repayment amount.

  • (d) The noteholder will also receive 19,999,999 unlisted options to acquire Shares (the issue of 7,083,333 of which will be subject to first obtaining Shareholder approval), which will be exercisable at any time prior to the Maturity Date at an exercise price of $0.03 (3 cents) ( Attaching Options ), and subject to the holder only being entitled to exercise one Attaching Option for every three Convertible Notes that it elects to convert to Shares.

  • (e) Following receipt of the Initial Tranche funds Jade Triumph may also nominate one individual for appointment to the Coppermoly board of directors.

The Placement will result in Jade Triumph having a relevant interest in approximately 9.4% of Coppermoly’s shares.

The funds raised from the Placement and Convertible Notes will be used to fund exploration on the Company’s tenements and other working capital requirements. This capital raising secures enough funding for the Company to recommence its exploration plans. The Company will concentrate its immediate efforts on the most advanced project, the Mt Nakru tenement, which includes the Nakru 1 and adjacent Nakru 2 prospects where drilling in 2014 intersected high grade near-surface copper mineralisation. The exploration effort will also be expanded to other targets on the Nakru tenement.

An internal review conducted in late July 2014 also produced a short list of regional targets as candidates for the Company’s next field work, subject to a data review. These targets include Nakru 3, Nakru 4, Nakru 2 Northwest, Malolo Creek (all on the Nakru tenement), Mt Misusu (on the Talelumas tenement) and Pulding (on the Makmak tenement). The extent of the exploration effort will depend on the availability of

funds after executing the exploration plans on Nakru 1 and Nakru 2 prospects. The prime objective is to use these funds to best add value to Coppermoly by exploration.

As stated at the Company’s recent AGM it is the primary goal of all directors and employees of Coppermoly to realise the full value of its exploration assets and increase shareholder returns.

The Placement was made without shareholder approval using the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The following information is provided as required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A:

  • a) Details of the dilution to the existing holders of ordinary securities caused by the issue:
Shareholders Before
Placement
After
Placement
Shareholders notparticipatingin Placement 100.00% 90.56%
Shareholderparticipatingin Placement 0.00% 9.44%
  • b) The shares were issued as a private placement in order to provide certainty that Coppermoly will have sufficient resources to fund working capital requirements until more funds are raised to fund further exploration on the Company’s tenements and other working capital requirements. This placement is also a condition precedent of the recent variation to the Company’s Reacquisition Agreement with Barrick (PNG Exploration) Ltd, as announced to the ASX on 1 December 2014.

Given the need for Coppermoly to have certainty regarding its funding, and in light of the limited participation of Shareholders in Coppermoly’s most recent offer and shortfall offer in May 2014, the Shares were issued as a private placement rather than, or in addition to, a pro-rata issue. The Board considered that the additional cost and delay involved in implementing a pro-rata offer would not be in the best interests of Shareholders.

  • c) The Placement was not underwritten

  • d) There were no fees or costs

An Appendix 3B (New issue announcement, application for quotation of additional securities and agreement) for the upfront placement of 30,000,000 New Shares is attached detailing the issue.

The First Tranche of the Convertible Notes will be issued without Shareholder approval using the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The second tranche of Convertible Notes will be subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company planned for January 2015.

On behalf of the Board.
