Under the SPP, the Company also has sole and absolute discretion to accept applications in excess of 120 million shares depending on market conditions and the level of investor interest. The Company has sole and absolute discretion as to the amount raised through the SPP including reserving the right to scale back applications.
Funds raised from the SPP will be used to undertake a drilling programme at the Company’s Mt Eureka Project, targeting massive nickel sulphide prospects; to maintain its participating interest in the Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture (Cullen 30%); and for working capital.

Commenting on the Company’s SPP and the offer to shareholders, Chairman Dr. Denis Clarke said:
“ The Company has defined a set of five targets at its Mt Eureka Project, based on a compilation of geological and geochemical data, and ground electro‐magnetic (EM) surveys, which offer prime opportunities for the discovery of massive nickel sulphides in an emerging nickel province. Funds from the SPP will be used to test these targets as soon as possible. All statutory approvals are anticipated to be ready by the end of February, 2014 and a suitable drill rig has been sourced and, pending weather and road conditions will be ready to commence work in early March 2014.
The Company also has several high‐priority gold targets in the Mt Eureka Project area and we remain a Participant in the Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture (MSIOJV). Cullen’s interest in the MSIOJV is a valuable asset which we believe will realise substantial value for the Company in the medium to long term, with the potential development of the MSIOJV as part of the planned substantial West Pilbara Iron Ore Project ‐ Stage 1 (which is majority owned and managed by a joint venture between subsidiaries of Aquila Resources Limited (ASX: AQA) and American Metals and Coal International Inc.).
By taking up shares via the SPP, shareholders will be able to increase their exposure to: the Company’s opportunity for discovery at the Mt Eureka project; participation in the MSIOJV; and, a number of joint ventures in which Cullen is free carried to a Decision to Mine, generally at 20%.
The Company’s exploration activities and assets are described in the recent Quarterly Report to the ASX (30‐1‐2014) and a full Company profile is available on our website: www.cullenresources.com.au.”
OFFER DOCUMENT
The SPP Offer Document and Application Form will be forwarded to shareholders by 21 February 2014.
