CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO TYCHEAN RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
9 November 2017
Dear fellow shareholders
I present this address to the 11th Annual General Meeting of Tychean Resources Limited. Since listing in October 2006, Tychean has had to adapt to changing market conditions and navigate the risky and often challenging life of a junior exploration company.
Over the past 12 months, Tychean has undertaken extensive due diligence on several potential acquisition opportunities in an effort to provide existing shareholders a value accretive investment with strong ability to generate positive future shareholder return.
On the 25[th] January 2017, Tychean announced to the market the signing of a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire a 74% interest in Blom Diamonds. Despite the Company’s diligent effort to ensure transaction completion, the ASX deemed the proposed transaction structure non-compliant with the ASX's interpretation of certain Listing Rules.
With the Company’s focus being on new project generation your Directors have endeavoured to minimise cash outgoings wherever possible by eliminating any non-essential expenses, reducing consultancy rates and electing to waive director fees during his period.
December 2016 saw Tychean successfully raise $352,000 through a Share Purchase Plan, issuing 50.36 million shares. These much needed funds have assisted the Company in progressing detailed due diligence on acquisition targets and provided additional working capital to ensure future financial stability of the company. We are thankful to all those who participated in the capital raising.
Over the past 12 months, Tychean has maintained its interest in the ongoing Tanami Joint Venture with Ramelius Resources such that future involvement either through further contribution to the project, or by converting the interest to a 1.5% NSR royalty, will be determined upon a decision to mine.
I’m pleased to announce that following the placement made on 7 November 2017, it is intended that a fully underwritten rights issue will be made to allow your company to continue to pursue a future exploration/ mining project to add to the company’s portfolio. Details of the issue which will be made at the same price as the placement will be released once the necessary approvals are in place.
I look forward to a successful project acquisition of exploration or mining tenements.
The markets continue to present challenges and increased levels of volatility; however the Company will persevere and continue to be resourceful in seeking new opportunities in this difficult period. We endeavour to carry out thorough due diligence in the best interest of Tychean’s shareholders so as to stimulate interest in the Company and lead to positive outcomes for those existing investors.
On behalf of the board and shareholders I would like to thank all past employees of the Company, for their commitment and loyalty over the last year as we look forward to delivering future success to all stakeholders through persistence and continued hard work.
