Proposed name change

  • In order to reflect the change of direction of the Company, the Board has decided to change the Company’s name to ‘Tychean Resources Ltd’ (subject to shareholder approval)

  • Proposed new ASX Issuer Code: TYK

  • Proposed new website address: www.tycheanresources.com

  • ‘Tyche’ is the Greek goddess of fortune (the Roman goddess being Fortuna)

  • Copyrighted logo shows the crown of Tyche as a series of gold bars on the black background

  • Resources belonging to ‘Tyche’ are what we hope to discover

17

Proposed name change

 The pronunciation of ‘Tyche’ is as follow:

  • Tyche (Tī΄kē) is pronounced Tike, as in Nike

  • The punctuation includes a macron over the i (ī) followed by a heavy stress mark΄ and a macron over the e (ē)

 So it’s pronounced:

  • t (as in tell, it)

  • ī is i (as in ice, five)

  • then the heavy stress mark΄ follows the syllable with primary or strong accent

  • followed by k (as in kind, seek)

  • ē is e (as in equal, see)

  • then we add "an", a (as in hat, cap), n (as in no, in) and get Tychean (Tī΄kēan) which we interpret as belonging to Tyche
