Dear shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Diatreme Resources Limited (ASX:DRX), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to help fund the advancement of our key valueadding projects.

Offer Highlights

  • Share Purchase Plan (SPP) targeting funding for key Company projects, offering shareholders the opportunity to capitalise on anticipated growth in market value

  • Cyclone Zircon Project now advancing further towards potential mine development with completion of bankable feasibility study (BFS) eyed following memorandum of agreement (MOU) being signed with China ENFI Engineering Corporation (ENFI)

  • Exploration underway at Cape Bedford Silica/Heavy Minerals Project , with initial results expected in late October

  • Potential further joint venture eyed for Tick Hill Gold Project , amid high Australian dollar gold price

  • Positive pricing environment for heavy minerals, with major producers raising prices and industry forecasters pointing to constrained supply.

  • .

This offer comes amid an increasingly favourable outlook for heavy mineral sands, and with recent significant progress at our flagship Cyclone Zircon Project and advances at the Cape Bedford and Tick Hill projects that have positioned the Company for substantial growth in market value.

The potential for upside is highlighted by Beer & Co.’s recent research report, a copy of which is available via our website.

The following provides an update on our key projects, how the funds will be used and details concerning the SPP for your consideration.

As stated in the offer highlights above, Diatreme has made significant project advances in recent months that have been welcomed by investors. Your support is crucial in ensuring the recent gains translate into further increases in market value for the benefit of all shareholders.

Cyclone Zircon Project – on fast track to development

Our flagship Cyclone project in Western Australia is on the fast track to development, thanks to the support of one of China’s largest mining groups.

In September, Diatreme announced the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ENFI for the completion of Cyclone’s BFS.

Importantly, ENFI also agreed to support Diatreme in sourcing potential project equity or joint venture parties from within its extensive network, as well as facilitating engagement with Chinese banking consortia to assemble the necessary project financing for the mine’s construction.

ENFI is backed by Metallurgical Corporation of China, one of China’s largest state-owned enterprises involved in the mining services sector and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the China Minmetals Group.

This support from such a substantial company in the world’s biggest resource consumer is extremely significant. It is a huge step forward for Cyclone, potentially the largest undeveloped zircon project in the world-class Eucla Basin.

The MOU signed with ENFI is set to be replaced with a binding heads of agreement (HOA) by November. Under the final terms, ENFI is expected to undertake the high-level engineering design and planning required to determine final project costings, implementation and economics for this company-making project.

Subject to results of the BFS and the securing of necessary project financing, Cyclone’s construction and development is expected to progress rapidly, leading to the development of a new, profitable mining operation before the end of the decade.

Recent moves by major mineral sands producers to raise prices, and commentary by industry researchers TZMI pointing to a growing supply gap point to a favourable development window for Cyclone, which is expected to generate significant jobs and other economic benefits for the community and substantial wealth for shareholders.

These are exciting times for Diatreme shareholders and we look forward to delivering on the project’s potential for your benefit.

Fortunately for shareholders, Diatreme has assembled an attractive project pipeline that along with Cyclone offers the opportunity for further growth in market value.

Cape Bedford – exploration momentum builds

Located adjacent to the world’s largest operating silica mine, the Cape Bedford project in North Queensland is seen offering significant exploration potential for high quality silica along with heavy minerals such as zircon, rutile and ilmenite.

Earlier this year, Diatreme executed a Conduct and Compensation Agreement with the traditional owners, which was followed by a Cultural Heritage Agreement.

An exploration drill rig was subsequently mobilised to site with exploration activity underway, targeting a world-class deposit. With exploration results expected in late October, we are hopeful of rapidly progressing this project amid a favourable pricing environment.

Diatreme has already received significant investor interest in Cape Bedford and we are confident of capitalising on the project’s potential for the benefit of shareholders.

Tick Hill’s golden prospects

Tick Hill was one of the highest grade gold deposits in Australia’s recent gold producing history, located in the famous Mount Isa mining region.

High gold prices, particularly in Australian dollar terms, have seen a number of gold explorers rewarded with gains in market value in 2017 and Tick Hill represents an attractive opportunity in such an environment.

Following Diatreme’s metallurgical and other studies previously conducted with our joint venture partner, Superior Resources, we have sought the opportunity to further advance this project.

Fortunately, the project has attracted further investor interest from a number of parties, and we are confident of exploiting this project’s golden potential with an injection of additional funding.

Together with our flagship Cyclone project, the exploration upside from Cape Bedford and the opportunity at Tick Hill, Diatreme has some highly attractive projects that offer substantial upside for shareholders’ benefit.

Use of Funds

Your company is determined to protect shareholder value and as such the funds raised from the SPP will be applied only to our maximum value projects, comprising Cyclone, Cape Bedford and Tick Hill, as well as essential working capital.

Diatreme has become a far leaner and fit for purpose organisation in recent times, having substantially restructured our exploration portfolio and reduced administrative costs to reflect changed market and industry conditions.

With the mining cycle now turning favourably again, now is the time for us to advance our key projects, while maintaining a keen focus on maximising the value of shareholder funds.

SPP Details

We invite you to review the attached SPP document thoroughly in conjunction with publicly available information relating to the Company which is available from the ASX and from the Company’s website (www.diatreme.com.au).

Under the SPP Eligible Shareholders can subscribe for additional Shares, up to a maximum of A$15,000 worth, without paying brokerage or stamp duty. If appropriate, the SPP may also provide the opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to increase their holding into more than a marketable parcel.

The total number of Shares on issue at 4 October 2017 is 951,732,679. The Offer document will be dispatched on Monday, 9th October 2017 and will remain open until 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 27th October 2017.

The Offer price is $0.013 (1.3 cents) per Share, representing an approximate 20 % discount to the volume weighted average closing price for the Company’s shares over the five trading days immediately prior to and including the Record Date.

Participation in the Offer is optional and is only open to Eligible Shareholders who are registered as holders of shares in Diatreme Resources Limited at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 3rd October 2017 (Record Date) and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand. The rights of shareholders to participate under this SPP are not transferable.

Full details of the Offer and how to participate are contained within the attached SPP document.

Following our recent gains in market value, and with an improving outlook for the resource sector in fiscal 2018, we are confident of securing maximum value from these funds for the benefit of all shareholders.

On behalf of the Board, I recommend this SPP for your careful consideration and thank you again for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

William Wang Non-executive Chairman

  • (b) If you apply for New Shares, you will apply for a specified value, rather than a specified number of New Shares.

Late or otherwise incomplete or invalid payments will be refunded to you.

  • (e) You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

  • (f) The lodgement of the Application Form with the application monies, or the remittance of funds via BPAY[®] will constitute the Eligible Shareholder’s offer to subscribe for shares on the terms and conditions of this SPP. Once an application has been made, it cannot be revoked. No notice of acceptance of the application will be provided.

8. Shortfall

The offer under the SPP is not underwritten. To the extent that there is a shortfall in the subscription for New Shares under the SPP ( Shortfall ), the Directors reserve the right to place any New Shares under the Shortfall at their absolute discretion at a price no less than the price of New Shares offered under the SPP, to the extent that any such placement of New Shares under the Shortfall can be made having regard to Listing Rule 7.1.
