CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Directors of Tychean Resources Limited (Tychean or the Company), I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Company’s fully underwritten Entitlement Offer, as announced on 20 November, 2017 and outlined in this Offer Booklet.

Eligible security holders are able to apply for 1 New Share for every 2 existing Shares held in Tychean, at an Offer Price of $0.002, to raise approximately $384,771 before costs. The Entitlement Offer price reflects an approximate 54% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares for the period ending 15 November 2017.

I recommend your participation in the Entitlement Issue, which will enable the Company to effectively refocus its corporate strategy. Tychean intends to use the funds raised to ensure the Company is sufficiently equipped to pursue thorough due diligence on value-accretive mineral-based acquisition opportunities within Australia, conduct a strategic review of our current tenement positions and fulfill ongoing working capital requirements such as corporate overheads and administrative costs.

The nature of this Entitlement Offer favours existing shareholders in recognition of their continuing support, providing an opportunity to increase their investment in the Company at an attractive price and maintain their level of ownership in Tychean, following the Company’s recent Placement to sophisticated investors.

Upon successful completion of this underwritten rights issue we propose making changes to your Company’s board and management team to place it in a better position to take advantage of opportunities as they arise without deviating from our core business in minerals exploration. The changes include the appointment of Mr Ian Gordon, Mr Duncan Gordon (the Messrs Gordon are not personally related) and Mr Paul Payne to the Board of directors. Existing Board members will resign in conjunction with these appointments. Details of the qualifications and experience of the proposed incoming directors are set out section 1.1 of this Offer Booklet.

The recent Placement announced on 31 October 2017 raised A$100,000 through the issue of 50 million shares at A$0.002 per share to sophisticated investors, pursuant to Section 708 of the Corporations Act. These same investors, including Mr Ian Gordon and entities associated with Mr Duncan Gordon (and an entity associated with Mr Payne who did not participate in the Placement) are underwriting and/or sub-underwriting your rights issue.

As an endorsement of our commitment to the Company, the Directors (either directly or through entities controlled by them) have sub-underwritten $34,143 of the Offer.

I urge you to read the enclosed Offer Document in addition to all other publically available information on Tychean, in order to obtain a complete understanding of the offering being made.

As an eligible holder of shares you may participate in the Offer by completing the personalised Application Form accompanying this Offer Booklet.

The closing date for application of shares is 5:00pm (Adelaide time) on 11 December 2017.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank you for your ongoing loyalty as we look ahead to delivering future success to all stakeholders in our quest to secure a flagship growth project.

Yours faithfully

1. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW AND KEY TERMS OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER

1.1 Investment Overview

Tychean, ASX listed since 2006, is involved in hard rock minerals exploration focussed within Australia. Over the years it has conducted significant drilling programs including exploration for commodities such as gold, lithium and uranium across a variety of geographical and geological settings.

Tychean’s current exploration portfolio is centred around gold exploration in the Northern Territory and it intends to significantly enhance this portfolio over the 2017/18 year on the strength of its current capital and the recruitment of additional in-house expertise in generating fresh leads in the area.

On 8 November 2017 the Company completed a placement of 50,000,000 shares at $0.002 per share to Sophisticated and Professional Investors to raise $100,000 (before expenses) ( Placement ). In addition to their subunderwriting, the Sub-Underwriters (other than Mr Payne, who is not a Shareholder) will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue. Refer to section 1.5 for details of the sub-underwriting arrangements and sections 1.4 and 0 for details of the Underwriting and Underwriting Agreement.

Subject to successful completion of the Entitlement Offer it is proposed that there will be changes to the Company’s Board and management team to place the Company in a better position to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, without deviating from the core business of minerals exploration. The changes are proposed to include the appointment of Mr Ian Gordon, Mr Duncan Gordon (the Messrs Gordon are not personally related) and Mr Paul Payne to the Board of directors. Following those appointments the existing Board members will resign. Biographies of the incoming directors follow:

(together the General Sub-Underwriters ).

The effect of the Offer together with the sub-underwriting on the voting power of the abovementioned Shareholders is explained in section 4.2.

The Underwriter has notified the Company that the obligations of SubUnderwriters under the sub-underwriting arrangements will terminate only if the Underwriter’s obligations under the Underwriting Agreement cease or are

8

terminated and the Underwriter subsequently advises the Sub-Underwriter that its obligations have terminated.

1.6 Entitlements and Acceptance

The right of Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Offer will be determined on the Record Date. The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Booklet. If you do not take up all or part of your Entitlement by the Closing Date your Entitlement will lapse.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable meaning there will be no rights trading on the ASX and you may not dispose of your Entitlement to any other party.

Eligible Shareholders may take any of the following actions:

  • (a) take up all of your Entitlement;

  • (b) take up part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse; or

  • (c) not take up any of your Entitlement and allow it to lapse.

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with payment for the number of New Shares accepted, cannot be withdrawn and constitutes a binding application for, and acceptance of, the number of New Shares specified in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form on the terms set out in this Offer Booklet. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be binding.

Further details in respect to actions required by Eligible Shareholders are outlined in section 2.

1.7 Opening and Closing Dates

The Entitlement Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on 28 November 2017 and will close at 5:00 pm (Adelaide time) on 11 December 2017. The Directors reserve the right to close the Entitlement Offer early or to extend the Closing Date, subject to the ASX Listing Rules. Investors are urged to lodge their Entitlement and Acceptance Forms as soon as possible.

1.8 ASX Quotation

Application has been made for the New Shares offered under this Entitlement Offer to be granted Official Quotation by the ASX. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares offered for subscription.

1.9 Register

The Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Booklet. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN) or Shareholder Reference Number (SRN).

9

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.10 Minimum Capital Raising

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

1.11 Shortfall in Subscription

There is no shortfall facility as part of the Offer. Neither Eligible Shareholders nor any other parties may apply for shortfall Shares. Any New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that are not taken up pursuant to the Offer by Eligible Shareholders will form the shortfall. The Underwriter, in consultation with the Company, shall determine who is to receive any shortfall in subscription for New Shares, subject to the sub-underwriting agreements, Listing Rules, Corporations Act and any other applicable law. The issue price for each New Share to be issued in respect of any shortfall in subscription for New Shares is $0.002 (0.2 of a cent).

The Board is of the view that the involvement of eight Sub-Underwriters not associated with the Underwriter (or each other) is an appropriate dispersion strategy to manage the shortfall and mitigate potential control effects of the Offer. The effect of the underwriting on voting power in the Company is explained in section 4.2.

The following policy will be applied to the allocation of any shortfall in subscription of New Shares:

  • (a) the shortfall will first be allocated to the Priority Sub-Underwriters up to a maximum of $34,143. As among the Priority Sub-Underwriters, shortfall shares will be allocated on a priority basis to Mr Kennedy (and/or entities controlled by him) if the shortfall is less than $34,143;

  • (b) up to $350,628 of the shortfall will be allocated to the General SubUnderwriters, including SARI, an entity associated with the Underwriter. As among the General Sub-Underwriters, shortfall shares will be allocated on an equal basis from the $350,628 pool;

1.12 Rights Attaching to Shares

The New Shares issued will rank equally with existing Shares on issue. The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares are set out in the constitution of the Company and in the Corporations Act.

1.13 Non-Resident 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 Entitlements under this Offer. The Company has determined, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, that it would be unreasonable to make the Offer to NonResident Shareholders having regard to:

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

10

  • 1.13.2 the number and value of the rights that would be offered; and

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

No Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are being sent to Non-Resident Shareholders. This Offer Booklet or a summary of the details of the Offer may be sent to Non-Resident Shareholders for information purposes only.

Neither this Offer Booklet 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 Shares in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or invitation. The distribution of this Offer Booklet and Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and the offering of New Shares, in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession such documents come should inform themselves about and comply with those restrictions.

3. SUMMARY OF RISKS

As with all investments, investors should be aware that the market price of shares may fall as well as rise. The potential returns of the Company will be exposed to risks specific to the Company and to general investment risks. While it is impossible to identify all risks, the attention of investors is drawn to the following particular risks:

3.1 Key Risks

Going concern

The Company’s auditor, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd noted in respect of the full-year financial report for the period ended 30 June 2017 the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern.

12

Future Capital Requirements

The Company will require additional capital to fund exploration/development of new projects. The Company’s ability to raise sufficient further capital within an acceptable time frame and on terms acceptable to it will vary according to a number of factors including (without limitation) 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.

Commodity Prices

The Company is exploring for commodities within Australia. Any decision to mine ore containing economic quantities of minerals will be closely related to the price of the relevant commodity.

The demand for and price of commodities is influenced by a variety of factors including the level of forward selling by producers, costs of production, general economic conditions, the level of inflation, interest rates and currency exchange rates.

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 obtaining and servicing of funding for mining operations if and when a decision to mine is made.

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

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • geological conditions;

  • limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns;

  • alterations to exploration programs 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 force majeure events;

13

  • unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • 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 the traditional land owners).

  • 3.2 Risks Specific to the Company

The Underwriting Agreement includes various termination events upon the occurrence of which the Underwriter may elect, in its discretion, to terminate the Underwriting Agreement. In the event that the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, the Company may not receive the maximum level of subscriptions in which case the Company will potentially need to consider other funding options to meet any shortfall. For further details of the Underwriting Agreement, refer to section 0 of this Offer Booklet.

Native Title & Aboriginal Heritage

Mining tenements which the Company may acquire in the future may be 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 the Company’s ability to obtain access to certain of its exploration areas or to obtain mining production titles. Settling any such claims will incur costs to the Company. The degree to which this may impact on the Company’s activities will depend on a number of factors, including the status of particular tenements and their locations. At this stage, the Company is not able to quantify the impact, if any, of such matters on its operations.

Title, Environmental Bonds & Conditions

All mining tenements which the Company may acquire either by application, sale and purchase or farm-in are regulated by applicable state mining legislation. There is no guarantee that applications will be granted as applied for. Various conditions may also be imposed as a condition of grant. In addition the relevant minister may need to consent to any transfer of a tenement to the Company.

Environment

The Company’s existing projects and any other projects or tenements that the Company may acquire in the future will be subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. Resource activities can be environmentally sensitive and can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws.

Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when made

14

may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans altered in a way which could impact adversely on the operations of the Company.

Agreements with Third Parties

The Company is and will be subject to various contracts and agreements with third parties. There is a risk of financial failure or default by counterparty to these arrangements. Any breach or failure may lead to penalties or termination of the relevant contract. In addition, the Company’s interest in the relevant subject matter may be jeopardised.

3.3 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.

3.4 General Risks

General Market Conditions

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

  • general economic conditions, including inflation rates 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 the Company operates; and

  • general operational and business risks.

In particular, the share prices of many companies have in recent times been subject to wide fluctuations, which in many circumstances arise by reason of matters outside the control of the company, including global hostilities and tensions and the general state of the economy. Such market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the New Shares.

There can also be no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the New Shares on the ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the New Shares, and the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their New Shares.

15

The matters set out above may result in Shareholders receiving a price for their New Shares that is more or less than the Offer price.

Changes in government policy

Changes in government policy may affect the amount and timing of the Company’s future cash flows and profits, and its viability and profitability. The activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local laws governing exploration, development, production, taxes and other matters.

4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

4.1 Reliance on Offer Booklet

This Offer Booklet has been prepared pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act for the offer of New Shares without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. This Offer Booklet was lodged with the ASX on 20 November 2017.

Section 708AA of the Corporations Act requires companies to lodge with the ASX a Cleansing Notice. The Company lodged a Cleansing Notice with the ASX on 20 November 2017.

In deciding whether or not to accept the Offer, you should rely on your own knowledge of the Company, refer to the documents lodged and the disclosures made by the Company on the ASX (which are available for inspection on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au) and seek advice from your financial or professional adviser.

4.2 Control implications of the Entitlement Offer

The potential effect the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including the demand from existing Shareholders. The primary consequences are that:

  • if all Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlement to New Shares, the Entitlement Offer would have no effect on the control of the Company because the Eligible Shareholders would continue to hold the same percentage interest in the Company;

  • if some Eligible Shareholders do not take up their full entitlement, such Shareholders’ voting power would be diluted relative to those who did take up their full Entitlement;

  • in the event that SARI takes up all its Entitlement and no other New Shares are issued under the Offer other than pursuant to the subunderwriting agreements and Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company could theoretically increase from its current 2.83% (via its associated entity SARI) to 6.95 %.

As explained in section 1.4, SARI, an entity associated with the Underwriter, is a Sub-Underwriter and existing Shareholder of the Company.

16

The actual effect of the Offer on the voting power in the Company of the Underwriter will depend on the level of subscription by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to the Offer and the extent to which sub-underwriters are issued with any shortfall in subscription for New Shares pursuant to sub-underwriting agreements.

Table 1 below sets out the Underwriters’ voting power immediately before the Offer:

Table 1

10,907,701 2.83%
Other Shareholders 373,863,220 97.17%
Total 384,770,921 100%

Table 2 below illustrates the potential effect of the Offer on the Underwriters’ voting power in scenarios where the Offer is 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% subscribed and in the unlikely event that no Shareholders take up their Entitlement under the Offer. These scenarios are based on the assumption that the Underwriter (via associated entity SARI) takes up its maximum subunderwriting (which includes its Entitlement) under each scenario. Therefore, the reference to the Offer being 75%, 50% or 25% subscribed refers to 75%, 50% or 25% of the Rights being subscribed after the Underwriter (via associated entity SARI) has taken up its maximum sub-underwriting including its Rights. Table 2 has been prepared for illustrative purposes, based on the assumptions set out in the footnotes to the table.

  1. All shareholders including SARI take up their Entitlement, in which case no New Shares are issued to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or Sub-Underwriters pursuant to the subunderwriting agreements.

  2. Where the Offer is 75% subscribed, Sub-Underwriters would be required to subscribe for 48,096,366 New Shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreements.

  3. Where the Offer is 50% subscribed, Sub-Underwriters would be required to subscribe for 96,192,731 New Shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreements.

  4. Where the Offer is 25% subscribed, Sub-Underwriters would be required to subscribe for 144,289,095 New Shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreements.

  5. In the unlikely event that no shareholders other than SARI take up their Entitlement, Sub-Underwriters would be required to subscribe for 186,931,610 New Shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreements.

As explained in section 1.5, an entity associated with Mr Payne (not a Shareholder) and eight of the Company’s Shareholders including SARI, an entity associated with the Underwriter, have an agreement with the Underwriter to (in aggregate) sub-underwrite to a maximum of $384,771 (100%) of the Rights Issue. The extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to sub-underwriting agreements will increase the voting power in the Company of the Sub-Underwriters. The maximum number of sub-underwriting Shares that a Sub-Underwriter will be obliged to subscribe for will be reduced proportionately by the number of Shares (if any) taken up by the SubUnderwriter under an Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer.

As a consequence of the sub-underwriting, there is a potential that proposed incoming directors Mr Ian Gordon (either directly or via associated entities) and Mr Paul Payne (either directly or via associated entities) may increase their voting power to the maximum extent illustrated in Tables 3 –4below. The actual effect of the Offer on the voting power in the Company of the General Sub-Underwriters will depend on the level of subscription by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to the Offer:

In addition, three of the Company’s shareholders not associated with the Directors, incoming directors, the Underwriter, SARI or each other, who have each sub-underwritten to a maximum of $58,438 (15.19% of the Offer) may increase their voting power as a consequence of the sub-underwriting. While the actual effect of the Offer on the voting power in the Company of these three particular Shareholders will depend on the level of subscription by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to the Offer, the maximum potential voting power of each of these General Sub-Underwriters as a consequence of the sub-underwriting is 6.80%, 6.80% and 7.49% respectively.

Note: The maximum number of sub-underwriting Shares that a SubUnderwriter will be obliged to subscribe for will be reduced proportionately by the number of Shares (if any) taken up by the Sub-Underwriter under an Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer.

4.4 Underwriting

The Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to conditionally underwrite the Offer for 192,385,461 Shares ( Underwritten Shares ). The Underwriter may appoint sub-underwriters to sub-underwrite the Offer.

The Underwriter must pay all fees and commissions due to subunderwriters of the Offer.

The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter 3% of the Underwritten Amount (excluding firm commitments for their entitlements and shortfall Shares received from the Directors and their related entities, which will attract a 1% underwriting fee) as consideration for the obligations undertaken by the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter may pass on a portion of those fees to sub-underwriters (other than the Directors), at the Underwriter’s discretion. Further, if the Company does not proceed with the Offer or terminates the Underwriting Agreement without cause or in bad faith, or the Underwriter terminates the Underwriting Agreement due to a termination event (see below), excluding where the Underwriter fails to perform its obligations, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a fee of 1% of the Underwritten Amount and any expenses for which the Company is liable.
