In addition, Mr Kennedy’s current intention is to subscribe for his full entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer of 17,433,336 Shares and Mr Kennedy has agreed to apply for 8,233,307 Shares pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement as outlined in section 5.5 of this Prospectus.

Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
| Description of holding | Number of shares |
|---|---|
| Existing Shares | 174,333,357 |
| Entitlement | 17,433,336 |
| Underwriting Agreement | 8,233,307 |
| Total | 200,000,000 |
Robert Kennedy and his associates hold 21,000,002 options. Mr Kennedy has notified the Company that he and his associates’ present intention is not to exercise any options prior to the Offer. No assurance can be given that the intentions of Mr Kennedy and his associates won’t change.
The following table summarises the potential impact of the Offer on Mr Kennedy’s voting power under different scenarios, as follows:
| Event | Shares held by Robert Kennedy and associates |
Total shares on issue |
Voting power of Robert Kennedy and associates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date of Prospectus | 174,333,357 | 2,253,631,090 | 7.74% |
| After issue of Shares to Institutional Investors (assuming all Directors take up their Entitlement) and no other Shareholders take up their Entitlement5 |
191,766,693 | 2,279,205,696 | 8.41% |
| Assuming 100% of Shareholders take up their Entitlement |
191,766,693 | 2,478,994,199 | 7.74% |
| Assuming 50% of Shareholders take up their Entitlement5 |
200,000,000 | 2,378,295,952 | 8.41% |
| Assuming 25% of Shareholders take up their Entitlement5 |
200,000,000 | 2,321,955,174 | 8.61% |
| Assuming 7.74% of Shareholders take up their Entitlement5 |
200,000,000 | 2,283,057,502 | 8.76% |
5 This assumes that in each scenario, Robert Kennedy and his associates participate to the full extent of their Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer and that there is a shortfall in the subscription for New Shares under the Offer, in which case Mr Kennedy’s obligations under the Underwriting (refer to section 5.5 of the Prospectus) become binding.

It is further noted Robert Kennedy has advised that he and his associates do not intend to acquire any additional Shares prior to the Record Date.

1.11 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to Shares
The New Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing 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
Page 8 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
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.
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 that the amount paid up on the Shares bears to the total amount paid up on all Shares of the Company on issue;
-
surplus assets in kind may, with the sanction of a special resolution, be divided among Shareholders in such proportion as the liquidator may determine.
-
1.12 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to the New Options
The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options are as follows:
-
1.12.1 Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share.
-
1.12.2 The New Options will expire at 5:00pm on 4 June 2016 ( Expiry Date ). Any New Option which has not been exercised before that date automatically lapses.
-
1.12.3 Each New Option is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.004 per Share at any time before the Expiry Date.
Page 9 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
-
1.12.4 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 250,000 then all the New Options must be exercised at one time and if more than 250,000 New Options are held they must be exercised in parcels of at least 250,000.
-
1.12.5 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.
-
1.12.6 No certificates will be issued for the New Options, but holding statements will be issued to holders for New Options issued.
-
1.12.7 Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any New Option will rank in all respects on equal terms with the existing Shares.
-
1.12.8 Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of a New Option will be issued on a date which will not be more than ten 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.
-
1.12.9 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.
-
1.12.10 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.
-
1.12.11 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.
-
1.12.12 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.
-
1.12.13 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
Page 10 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
-
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 five trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights or ex-entitlements date
-
S = The subscription price for a Share under the pro-rata 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
-
1.12.14 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.
-
1.12.15 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.
-
1.12.16 The Listing Rules prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these terms.
-
1.12.17 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.
1.13 Effect of the Offer on Optionholders
The Company currently has 318,377,195 quoted options on issue exercisable at $0.006 expiring 30 June 2015.
Optionholders may participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer 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 Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer and the total amount raised under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Optionholders cannot participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer without exercising their options.
1.14 Minimum Capital Raising
There is no minimum amount of capital to be raised under the Offer.
Page 11 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
1.15 Shortfall in Subscription
The Directors reserve the right to issue any shortfall in subscription for New Shares at their discretion after the close of the Offer ( Shortfall ). Offers of Shortfall are made as a separate offer under this Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ). 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 will not be less than $0.002.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3), New Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer not later than three months after the close of the Offer do not detract from the Company’s capacity to issue 15% of its issued capital without security holder approval in a 12 month period.
Allotment of the Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer may occur on a progressive basis at any time on or after the date of allotment of New Shares under the Offer.
1.16 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.
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.
1.17 Taxation
Shareholders should be aware that there are taxation implications for subscribing for New Shares. These taxation implications will vary between different Shareholders and Shareholders should consult their own professional tax adviser in relation to the taxation implications.

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 2014 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 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
Page 18 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
obtaining 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.
-
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 future registered Aboriginal Land Council 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 Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth), Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) 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
Page 19 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
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 hold or 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.
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 expiring out of the money
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 without providing any value to Shareholders.
Quotation of New Options not guaranteed
For the New Options to be granted official quotation by ASX certain conditions must be met, including those set out in ASX Listing Rule 2.5 (Condition 6). The granting by ASX for the official quotation of the New Options is not guaranteed.
4.4 General Risks
General market conditions
The price of Shares on ASX may rise or fall due to numerous factors including the following.
Page 20 of 27
Tychean Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus
-
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.
