General

On 17 December 2012, the Company completed a Placement of 6,250,000 Shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The purpose of this Resolution is to seek approval to the ratification of the 6,250,000 Shares that were issued under the Company’s 15% capacity.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In order to maintain the Company’s capacity to issue up to a maximum of 15% of the issued capital of the Company without resorting to Shareholder approval in general meeting, as required pursuant to ASX Limited Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is required to obtain Shareholder ratification to the issue of any Securities during the preceding 12 month period.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The Company issued 6,250,000 Shares on 17 December 2012.

The Shares were issued at a price of $0.08 per Share for cash consideration.

The Shares rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of their issue.

The Shares were issued to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors.

5

The funds raised by the issue of the Shares were used for:

  • Immediate follow-up exploration and drilling on Core’s uranium discovery at the Company’s 100% owned Fitton Project in northern South Australia.

  • Rock chip, geochemical and geophysical surveys leading to Core’s first drilling in 2013 on the Albarta Project within Australia’s new hotspot for copper IOCG exploration in the Northern Territory.

  • Working capital purposes.

Board Recommendation : The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
