Use of Proceeds

The Company will use the funds raised under the Placement and Entitlements Issue to:

  • Conduct exploration and resource definition Air Core and Reverse Circulation drilling at the Spargoville Gold Project;

  • Conduct exploration Air Core and Reverse Circulation drilling at the Valley Floor Gold Project; and

  • Provide working capital to the Company.

Placement

The placement is being made to sophisticated and professional investors under the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity. It is anticipated that the Placement shares will be issued on Wednesday, 28 May 2014. New shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing shares in Tychean. It is expected that the New Options will be issued on the same date as the shares and quoted on Tuesday, 1 July 2014.

Entitlements Issue

The Entitlements Issue will constitute an offer of approximately 500.5 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the basis of 1 new share for every 3 existing shares held by eligible shareholders on the Record Date. The offer price will be the same as that offered under the Placement, being $0.003 per new share, representing a 25% discount to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on Tuesday, 20 May 2014. New shares issued under the Entitlements Issue will rank equally with all existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

Subscribers to the Entitlements Issue will also receive 1 free option for every 2 new shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.006 on or before 30 June 2015.

Shareholders with an address in Australia or New Zealand on the Company’s register at the close of business on Tuesday, 3 June 2014, will be eligible to participate in the Entitlements Issue (“Eligible Shareholders”).

The Directors reserve the right to place the remaining shortfall at their discretion within three months after the close of the Offer. Eligible Shareholders’ entitlements pursuant to this Entitlements Issue are non-renounceable and accordingly, they may:

  • take up their rights in full or in part;

  • do nothing; in which case their rights will lapse; or

  • take up their rights in full and apply for additional new shares.

Full details of the Entitlements Issue will be set out in the Prospectus which will be lodged by the Company with ASIC and ASX on Wednesday, 28 May 2014.

3

Existing optionholders will need to exercise their options and be a registered holder of shares at the close of business on Tuesday, 3 June 2014 if they wish to participate in the Entitlements Issue.

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or New Zealand having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the new shares that would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.

The proposed timetable for the Entitlements Issue is as follows:

EVENT DATE
Prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX Wednesday, 28 May2014
“Ex” Date Friday, 30 May2014

The above dates are indicative only. Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to withdraw the Offer at any time, close the Entitlements Issue early or extend the Closing Date for the Offer at their discretion. Should the Offer be closed early or extended, there will be a consequential effect on the anticipated date of issue for the new shares and New Options.
