Chairman’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders

I am pleased to enclose your Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form for participation in the one for three non-renounceable Rights Issue announced by Tychean Resources Limited [TYK] on 21 May 2014.

I recommend this Rights Issue to you as the funds raised will enable Tychean to continue its excellent and fruitful exploration work on its exciting gold prospects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

As you are no doubt aware from our numerous announcements, we have so far drilled over 15,000 metres of RAB [Rotary Air Blast], Aircore and more recently RC [Reverse Circulation] drilling at our Spargoville Gold Prospects which have returned highly encouraging results.

I urge you to read the Prospectus in full in order to obtain a complete understanding of the offering being made.

This Rights Issue will raise up to approximately $1,501,511 (before costs) through the issue of up to approximately 500,503,593 new fully paid ordinary shares at $0.003 per share – a discount of approximately 25% to the last closing price for Tychean shares on the ASX prior to the announcement of the Rights Issue. In addition, participating shareholders will be issued free, one new option for every two new shares subscribed for, exercisable at a price of $0.006 per option with an expiry date of 30 June 2015. This Rights Issue fundraising is in addition to a Placement expected to be completed on or about 28 May 2014 to raise $409,500 (before expenses). The holders of Placement Shares will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

As an eligible shareholder you may participate in the offer by completing the personalised Entitlement an Acceptance Form accompanying the Prospectus.

The closing date for acceptance of shares under the Rights Issue is 5.00 pm (Adelaide time) on 23 June 2014. As an eligible shareholder you may also apply for additional shares in excess of your entitlement. However, under the Prospectus, the Directors reserve the right to accept, scale back or refuse any application in excess of any shortfall available for issue under the Rights Issue.

I intend to take up a portion of my entitlements as do my fellow directors. In addition, my fellow director Mr Ewan Vickery and I are underwriting a portion of shares in any shortfall. I invite you to take up your Entitlement after reading the risk section of this Prospectus and seeking the advice of your financial advisor.

I look forward to continuing this exciting journey of discovery in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia with your support.

Yours faithfully,

Opening and Closing Dates

The Rights Issue will open for receipt of acceptances on the Opening Date and closes on the Closing Date. The Directors reserve the right to vary the dates of the Offer, including extending the Closing Date subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or other applicable laws. Investors are therefore urged to lodge their Entitlement and Acceptance Forms as soon as possible.

1.9 Rights Trading

The Rights to the New Shares are non-renounceable, which means that Rights will not be traded.

1.10 Acceptances

Shareholders may accept all or part of their Entitlement.

1.12 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company's constitution, a copy of which may be inspected at the Company's registered office. A summary of the rights and liabilities follows.

Voting rights

At a general meeting every shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote on a show of hands and every shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for each Share on a poll.

Dividends

Dividends are declared by the Directors at their discretion and subject to any special rights (at present there are none) are payable on all Shares in proportion to the amount of capital for the time being paid up but not credited as paid up on those Shares.

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable. Where the Listing Rules or the law require the Company to do so, the Directors must decline to register a transfer. If Shares are subject to a restriction agreement entered into by the Company and Shareholder, except as permitted by the Listing Rules, a Shareholder may not dispose of the Shares and the Directors and the Company will not register a dealing in the Shares.

Future increases in capital

The allotment or issue of any Shares of the Company is under the control of the Directors who may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, allot or otherwise dispose of them on such conditions as they see fit.

Page 7 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Variation of rights

The rights and privileges attaching to Shares can be altered by special resolution of the Shareholders. A special resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than 75% of those present and voting.

Rights on winding up

In the event of a winding up of the Company:

  • any surplus will be divided among the Shareholders in the proportion to the amounts paid on their respective Shares before the winding up began;

  • the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, distribute among the Shareholders the whole or any part of the property of the Company.

1.13 Rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options

The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options are as follows:

  • (1) Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share.

  • (2) The New Options will expire at 5pm (Adelaide time) on 30 June 2015 ( Expiry Date ). Any New Option which has not been exercised before that date automatically lapses.

  • (3) Each New Option is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.006 per Share at any time before the Expiry Date.

  • (4) Some or all of the New Options may be exercised at any one time or times prior to the Expiry Date provided that if the number of New Options held is less than 200,000 then all the New Options must be exercised at one time and if more than 200,000 New Options are held they must be exercised in parcels of at least 200,000.

  • (5) New Options will be fully transferable in accordance with the constitution of the Company and, for such time as the Company is listed, the Listing Rules.

  • (6) No certificates will be issued for the New Options, but holding statements will be issued to holders for New Options issued.

  • (7) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any New Option will rank in all respects on equal terms with the existing Shares.

  • (8) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of a New Option will be issued on a date which will not be more than 10 business days after the receipt of a properly executed notice of exercise of option and the application moneys in respect of the exercise of the New Option.

  • (9) Application will be made by the Company to the ASX for permission for quotation to be granted in respect of Shares issued upon exercise of any of the New Options in the manner required by the Listing Rules.

Page 8 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

  • (10) Holders can exercise New Options by completing and submitting a notice of exercise of options (which is set out on the holding statement for the New Options or, if none, such form as the Directors may accept) to the Company’s share registry together with the required exercise price.

  • (11) A New Option will not entitle the holder to participate in any new issue of Shares by the Company, unless the New Option has been duly exercised prior to the relevant record date.

  • (12) If there is a reconstruction or reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the capital of the Company, the rights of the holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable Listing Rules at the time of the restructure or reorganisation. Any changes to the terms of the New Options will not result in any benefit being conferred on the holder which is not conferred on the Shareholders of the Company.

  • (13) If there is a pro-rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares, the exercise price of each New Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

O’ = O – E[P-(S+D)] N + 1

Where

  • O’ = The new exercise price of the New Option

  • O = The old exercise price of the New Option

  • E = The number of Shares into which one New Option is exercisable

  • P = The average market price per Share (weighted by volume) of Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights or ex-entitlements date

  • S = The subscription price for a Share under the prorata issue

  • D = The dividend due but not yet paid on Shares (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue)

  • N = The number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share

  • (14) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which the New Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Option would have received if the New Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

Page 9 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

  • (15) In the event of a winding up of the Company unexercised New Options will have no right to a distribution of surplus assets of the Company.

  • (16) The Listing Rules prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these terms.

  • (17) These terms are governed by the laws of South Australia and the holder submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of South Australian courts and courts of appeal from them.

1.14 Effect of the Rights Issue on Optionholders

The Company currently has 270,111,175 quoted options on issue exercisable at $0.006 expiring 24 September 2014.

Optionholders may participate in the Rights Issue by exercising any or all of these options before the Record Date. The exercise of any options prior to the Record Date will increase the issued capital of the Company and may increase the number of New Securities issued under the Rights Issue and the total amount raised under the Rights Issue.

Optionholders cannot participate in the Rights Issue without exercising their options.

1.15 Minimum Capital Raising

There is no minimum amount of capital to be raised under the Rights Issue.

1.16 Shortfall in subscription

The Directors reserve the right to issue any shortfall in subscription for New Securities at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Offer ( Shortfall Offer ). Offers of shortfall are made as a separate offer under this Prospectus. Should the Directors decide to issue any shortfall, the Shortfall Offer will remain open after the Closing Date. The issue price for each New Share to be issued under any Shortfall Offer is $0.003.

1.17 Overseas Shareholders

This Offer is only being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand. All other Shareholders ( Non-Resident Shareholders ) will not be offered Rights under this Prospectus. The Company has determined, in accordance with the Listing Rules, that it would be unreasonable to make an offer under this Prospectus to Non-Resident Shareholders having regard to:

  • the number of Shareholders in the places where the offer would be made;

  • the number and value of the Rights that would be offered; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal requirements in those places.

No Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are being sent to Non-Resident Shareholders.

Page 10 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Neither this Prospectus nor the Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Company to subscribe for or purchase any of the New Securities in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or invitation. The distribution of this Prospectus and Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and the offering of New Securities, in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession such documents come should inform themselves about and comply with those restrictions.

1.18 Taxation

Shareholders should be aware that there are taxation implications for subscribing for New Securities. These taxation implications will vary between different Shareholders and Shareholders should consult their own professional tax adviser in relation to the taxation implications.

2. How to Apply

2.1 What you may do

Page 11 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

complete the portion of the Form relating to the Additional New Shares they wish to take up.

The number of Additional New Shares available will depend on the level of acceptance of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders and whether the Directors decide to issue the shortfall. Accordingly you may not receive the full amount or any of the Additional New Shares for which you have applied. Additional New Shares, if available, will be issued under the Shortfall Offer.

2.4 Other Investors

Investors in Australia and New Zealand other than Shareholders that wish to take up any New Shares offered on the basis of this Prospectus not taken up by Shareholders must complete a Shortfall Application Form.

Shortfall Application Forms will be provided to investors on request. Refer to the Shortfall Application Form for instructions on its completion.

2.5 Entitlements not taken up

If you decide to take up only part of your Entitlement or not to accept any of your Entitlement, your Entitlement will lapse to that extent and may be placed by the Directors within 3 months after the close of the Offer under the Shortfall Offer.

4. Risks

Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control.

The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which Shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.

The risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

4.1 Key risks

Going concern

The Company’s auditor, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd noted in respect of the half year financial report as at 31 December 2013 the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Company may be unable to realise it’s assets and discharge it’s liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the half year financial report.

Future capital requirements

We may require additional funds to carry out further exploration or development of our existing or new projects. Our ability to raise those funds within an acceptable time frame, and on terms acceptable to us, will vary according to a number of factors including: the prospects of new projects (if any); the results of exploration and subsequent feasibility studies; stock market and industry conditions; and the price of relevant commodities.

Exploration and development

Exploration by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery of economically recoverable resources, obtaining the necessary titles and governmental regulatory approvals and getting suitable finance for mining operations, if and when a decision to mine is made.

There can be no assurance that our existing projects, or any other projects or tenements that we may acquire in the future, will result in the discovery of significant resources. Even if significant resources are identified, there can be no guarantee they will be able to be economically exploited.

The factors that will impact on our future exploration and possible production activities include the following.

  • Geological conditions.

  • Limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns.

Page 18 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

  • Alterations to joint venture programmes and budgets.

  • The availability of drilling rigs and other machinery necessary for the Company to undertake its activities.

  • Unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in survey, drilling and production activities.

  • Mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other events outside our control.

  • Unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, engaging contractors, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

  • Prevention or restriction of access by reason of political unrest, outbreak of hostilities, and inability to obtain consents or approvals (including clearance of work programs pursuant to existing, and any future access agreements entered into with Aboriginal organisations and native title claimants).

  • 4.2 Risks specific to the Company

Loss of key personnel

Our success depends on the competencies of our directors and senior management. The loss of one or more of our directors or senior management could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial position and operations. The resulting impact from such an event would depend on the quality of any replacement.

Native title and Aboriginal heritage

Some of our tenements are located within areas that are the subject of claims or applications for native title determination. The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and related State native title legislation and Aboriginal heritage legislation may affect our ability to obtain access to certain of our exploration areas or to obtain mining production titles. Settling any claims will incur costs to us. The degree to which this may impact on our activities will depend on a number of factors, including the status of particular tenements and their locations. At this stage, we are not able to quantify the impact, if any, of such matters on our operations.

Title

All mining tenements that we may acquire are regulated by applicable state mining legislation. There is no guarantee the tenements we apply for will be granted. Also, grant of a tenement will be subject to conditions.

Environment

Our projects are subject to state and federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. Our activities and operations cannot be carried out without prior approval by all relevant authorities. Resource activities can be environmentally sensitive and can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses. We intend conducting our activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws.

Page 19 of 26

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Agreements with third parties

We have signed various contracts with others. There is a risk of financial failure or default by the other party to these arrangements. Any breach or failure may lead to penalties or termination of the relevant contract. In addition, our interest in the relevant subject matter (tenement, for example) may be jeopardised.

4.3 Risks specific to the Offer

Dilution risk

If you decide to take up only part of your Entitlement or not to accept any of your Entitlement, your Entitlement will lapse and your ownership of the Company will be diluted to that extent.

New Options

The granting by ASX for the official quotation of the New Options is not guaranteed. Further, there is no guarantee that the market price of the underlying Shares will trade above the exercise price of the New Options. Accordingly, there is a risk that the New Options could expire out of the money.

4.4 General risks

General market conditions

The price of Shares on ASX may rise or fall due to numerous factors including the following.

  • General economic conditions, including changes in prices and interest rates.

  • Variations in the local and global markets for listed shares in general, or for mining stocks in particular.

  • Changes to government policy, legislation or regulation.

  • Competition in the industry in which we operate.

  • General operational and business risks.

  • Demand for commodities.
