CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Duncan Gordon
Chairman
Dear fellow Shareholders,
It is with pleasure that I present to you Tychean’s 2018 Annual Report.
Over the past 12 months, Tychean has actively progressed discussions with select parties across the minerals sector in relation to an anticipated acquisition of a new project. In particular, the Company is assessing those opportunities that present themselves as material minerals exploration and/or development plays. Although the due diligence and negotiation timelines around these are longer than simple ‘farm in’ processes, your Board is of the opinion they afford the opportunity for more significant future upside.
During the period, the Company’s founding Chairman, Mr Robert (Bob) Kennedy sadly passed away. His passion and knowledge will be sorely missed.
On behalf of the board and shareholders I would like to thank all staff and contractors 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.
Yours sincerely,
DUNCAN GORDON Chairman
Tychean has also 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.
In December 2017, Tychean Resources completed a fully underwritten nonrenounceable Entitlement Issue raising ~A$385,000. Concurrent to the capital raise, Tychean underwent a Board restructure as the Company refocussed its corporate strategy.

The Group's policy for determining the nature and amounts of emoluments of board members and senior executive officers of the Group is as follows:
The Company's Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of non-executive directors shall be fixed from time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors has been set at $300,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the non-executive directors as they determine. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in performing their duties as directors.
Tychean Resources Limited 2018 Annual Report 10
TYCHEAN RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
– Remuneration report audited (continued)
Non-executive director remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. Non-executive directors do not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives nor do they receive options or bonus payments and are not provided with retirement benefits other than salary sacrifice and statutory superannuation.
The Company's remuneration structure is based on a number of factors including the particular experience and performance of the individual in meeting key objectives of the Company. The Board is responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel.
The Company does not presently emphasise payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company's business as a mineral exploration entity and the current status of its activities. However the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board.
The Company also has an Employee Share Option Plan approved by shareholders that enables the Board to offer eligible employees options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, options for ordinary fully paid shares may be offered to the Company's eligible employees at no cost unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to align the interests of employees and shareholders by providing employees of the Company with the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company as an incentive to achieve greater success and profitability for the Company and to maximise the long term performance of the Company.
Voting and comments made at the company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting
Tychean Resources Limited received more than 84% of ‘yes’ votes on its remuneration report for the 2017 financial year. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The Financial Statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Tychean Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Tychean Resources Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
These consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
- (ii) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.
- (iii) Critical accounting estimates
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2018. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued
(c) Investments in associates and joint ventures
Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.
A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. A joint arrangement in which the Group has direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Interests in joint operations are accounted for by recognising the Group assets (including its share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly).
Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment.
The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.
Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.
(d) Comparative Amounts
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.
Where a change in comparatives has also affected the opening retained earnings previously presented in a comparative period, an opening statement of financial position at the earliest date of the comparative period has been presented.
(e) Income Tax
The tax expense recognised in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year).
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax consequences relating to a non-monetary asset carried at fair value are determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered through sale.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued
(e) Income Tax (cont.)
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.
Tychean Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation.
Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.
The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.
(f) Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(g) Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(h) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows in the statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment
Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amounts or recognised as separate assets as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land is depreciated on a reducing balance method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 25% to 40%.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(k)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
(j) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).
(k) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Any bank overdrafts the Group have are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(m) Earnings per share
Tychean Resources Ltd presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(o) Share Based Payments
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Binomial pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares granted. This expense takes in account any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores the effect of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options which are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. Revisions to the prior period estimate are recognised in profit or loss and equity.
(p) Exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. As the asset is not available for use it is not depreciated or amortised.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the period in which the decision to abandon that area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(r) Key estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(i) Estimated impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
(ii) Exploration and evaluation
The Group policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in note 1 (s). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the statement of profit or loss. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 3.

A deferred tax asset (DTA) has not been recognised in respect of temporary differences as they do not meet the recognition criteria per AASB 112 Income Taxes . A DTA has not been recognised in respect of tax losses as realisation of the benefit is not regarded as probable.
The Group has unrecognised assessed losses of $6,900,936 (2017: $6,814,889) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the Group.
The tax rates applicable to each potential tax benefit are as follows: Timing differences – 27.5%; Tax losses – 27.5%.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital.
It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. The Group maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods.
The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business.
Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day period are identified monthly.At the reporting date, these reports indicate that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances.
The Group liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below:

Market risk
- (i) Foreign currency sensitivity
All of the Group transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars, therefore the Group is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +2.00% and -2.00% (2017: +2.00%/-2.00%), with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.
The calculations are based on the financial instruments held at each reporting date. All other variables are held constant.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.Management considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality, including those that are past due.
The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
Net fair values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

27 Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern.
The cash flow projections of the Group indicate that it will require positive cash flows from additional capital or sale of assets for continued operations. The Group incurred a loss of $349,156. The Group’s cash balance at 30 June 2018 was $350,451.
The Group's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on obtaining additional capital and/or sale of assets. If additional capital is not obtained or assets not sold, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the consolidated entity may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

OTHER BUSINESS
RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF A PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SHARES
The Company has issued 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.002 per fully paid ordinary share in a placement to sophisticated and professional investors.
These shares were issued on 7 November 2017 on the same terms and conditions as other existing ordinary shares in the Company quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The funds raised by the placement have been and will be used to:
-
provide the Company with funds to undertake a review of the Company’s current tenement position, assess new mineral and exploration opportunities in Australia, and
-
provide working capital to the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, except in limited circumstances, prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the shares detailed in resolution 5 did not exceed the 15% limit referred to above.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company ratifies an issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby refreshing the company’s 15% capacity and enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.
Resolution 5 proposes the ratification and approval of the allotment and issue of 50,000,000 shares to sophisticated and professional investors for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 14.9 requires the approval be given by an ordinary resolution of the Company.
The directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of resolution 5.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 5.
RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL 10% OF ISSUED ORDINARY SECURITIES OVER A 12 MONTH PERIOD
Listing rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution at an AGM to issue an additional 10% of the entity’s issued ordinary securities (calculated using the formula set out below). The ability to issue securities under listing rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s ability to issue 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities without security holder approval in a 12 month period, under Listing Rule 7.1.
A listed entity must satisfy both of the following criteria at the time of its AGM in order to be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A:
-
It must have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and
-
It must not be included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
At the date of the Notice, the Company satisfied both of those criteria.
The number of equity securities that the Company may issue with approval under listing rule 7.1A.2 is calculated using the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of shareholders under rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D = 10%
-
E = The number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under rule 7.1 or 7.4.
A resolution under listing rule 7.1A can only be proposed as a special resolution at an eligible entity’s AGM. A special resolution is a resolution that has been passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
Securities issued with approval under listing rule 7.1A must belong to a class of equity securities already quoted. Listing rule 7.1A cannot be used for placements of securities in a class that have not yet been quoted.
Information required by listing rule 7.3A
Listing rule 7.3A prescribes the information that must be included in the Notice in relation to a resolution under listing rule 7.1A. This information is as follows:
-
The issue price of securities issued under listing rule 7.1A must be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were conducted immediately before either:
-
1.1 the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
1.2 if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph 1.1 above, the date on which the securities are issued.
-
If resolution 6 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues additional equity securities there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of the existing shareholders including the risk that:
-
2.1 the market price for the Company’s ordinary securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under listing rule 7.1A; and
-
2.2 the ordinary securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those ordinary securities on the issue date.
The table below provides details of the quoted and unquoted classes of equity securities the Company has on issue at the date of the Notice.
| Equity Security | Number on issue |
|---|---|
| Quoted fully paid ordinary shares | 577,156,607 |
The following table illustrates the potential dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ as at the date of this notice ( current variable A ) and where variable “A” is 1.5 times and twice the current variable A:
| Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable "A" in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Issue Price (per Share) |
50% decrease in Deemed Issue Price $0.002 |
Deemed Issue Price $0.004 |
50% increase in Deemed Issue Price $0.006 |
| Current Variable "A" 577,156,607 Shares |
10% dilution - Shares issued |

| Funds raised |
$115,431 | $230,863 | $346,294 | |

| Funds raised |
$230,863 | $461,725 | $692,588 |
Assumptions relevant to the table describing the potential dilution of existing shareholders:
-
(i) An additional 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares are issued under rule 7.1A;
-
(ii) No options are exercised before the date of the issue under rule 7.1A;
-
(iii) The issue under rule 7.1A consists only of shares.
-
The Company will only issue equity securities during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM on 14 November 2018 (that is, up to and including 14 November 2019). The approval under resolution 6 for the issue of equity securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under listing rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or listing rule 11.2 (the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
-
The Company may issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
4.1 non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments.
In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
4.2 cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions or investments), continued exploration and development expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
-
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issues. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a caseby-case basis and in regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
5.1 the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
5.2 the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
5.3 the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
5.4 advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
The allottees pursuant to this resolution have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company acquires new assets, it is likely that the allottees pursuant to this resolution will be the vendors of the new assets. If this resolution is approved by shareholders, the Company may issue equity securities during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM as and when the circumstances of the Company require.
-
The Company has not previously obtained shareholder approval under listing rule 7.1A.
-
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice the proposed allottees of the securities are not known and identified. Therefore no existing shareholder’s votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.
The Directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of resolution 6.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 6.
Definitions:
Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Company are, as adopted from the Australian Accounting Standards Board, those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Closely related parties of the Company’s KMP include certain family members, dependants and companies they control.

To appoint a proxy, a proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney duly authorised in writing. If the shareholder is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act. To be effective, a proxy form (and, if it is signed by an attorney, the authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company not later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting. Proxy forms and authorities may be sent to Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd, GPO Box 242, Melbourne VIC 3001, , or by facsimile to Computershare on (within Australia) 1800 783 447 (outside Australia) +61 3 9473 2555 or the Company on +61 8 8232 8811.
Shareholders who forward their proxy forms by fax must make available the original executed form of the proxy for production at the meeting, if called upon to do so.
Vote electronically by casting votes online at www.investorvote.com.au and follow the prompts. To use this facility, you will need your holder number (SRN or HIN), postcode and control number as shown on the proxy form.

Chairman acting as proxy
Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the meeting as their proxy.
Where the chairman is appointed as a proxy by a shareholder entitled to cast a vote on a particular resolution and the proxy form specifies how the chairman is to vote on the resolution (that is, a directed proxy), the chairman must vote in accordance with that direction.
In respect of proxies where no voting direction has been given (undirected proxies), the chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of each resolution.
In relation to resolution 1, if the shareholder has appointed the chairman as their proxy and no voting direction has been given, the shareholder will be expressly authorising the chairman to exercise the undirected proxy in respect of resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected with
the remuneration of members of the KMP of the Company. Please read the directions on the proxy form carefully, especially if you intend to appoint the chairman of the meeting as your proxy.
