ENTRY INTO AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF PROSPECTS IDENTIFIED IN AREAS OF MUTUAL INTEREST & AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFERS

1. LETTER AGREEMENT

Corizon Limited (ACN 142 411 390) ( Company ) ( ASX:CIZ ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter agreement with Gecko Metals Sdn Bhd, an entity incorporated and operating under the laws of Malaysia ( GM ) ( Letter Agreement ). The purpose of the Letter Agreement is to develop a commercial relationship for the mutual benefit of the parties and work together to identify and evaluate mineral interests ( Prospects ) in and around the regions of Kelantan, northeast of Peninsular Malaysia, Perak, northwest of Peninsular Malaysia and Terengganu, Malaysia ( Areas of Mutual Interest ).

GM is a Malaysian incorporated exploration and mining company that has conducted mineral exploration and mining operations within Malaysia over a number of years. Entry into the Letter Agreement and closer ties with GM allows the Company to access an extensive contact network within the region in order to assist with project generation and financing activities. Mr Teck Wong is a Malaysian based Non-Executive Director of the Company who is aware of GM and is neither a related party or an associate of GM. The Company has conducted due diligence on GM and its assets which included a site visit by Non-Executive Directors, Mr Mathew Walker and Mr Teck Wong, along with an Australian geological consultant.

The Company has entered into the Letter Agreement because no consideration is being provided for entry into the Letter Agreement, and the Board believes that entry into the Letter Agreement is in shareholders’ best interests because of the potential opportunities which may arise as a result of the Letter Agreement. There can be no assurance that any opportunities will in fact arise from the Letter Agreement.

The Letter Agreement provides a framework for potential asset acquisition, financing and project creation in the Areas of Mutual Interest.

Further details of the Letter Agreement will be included in the Replacement Prospectus mentioned in the Company’s Third Supplementary Prospectus, which was announced on ASX by the Company on 9 April 2019.

The purpose of this Letter Agreement is to confirm the agreement of the parties to deal with each other regarding any identified Prospects. Key terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement are summarised below.

include, without limitation, farm-in arrangements, joint venture arrangements, asset or share sale acquisitions, whether for all rights in the Prospect or only part and whether or not GM is involved in the relevant project.

(b) Rights granted to the Company

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, GM grants to the Company the exclusive right (but not the obligation) to acquire up to 100% of the rights in any Prospect identified or acquired by GM. The term of the Letter Agreement is for twelve (12) months or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing.

(c) Acquisition offer to GM

In the event that GM identifies a Prospect, GM must give written notice ( Acquisition Notice ) to the Company offering the Company the opportunity to acquire the rights in the Prospect on substantially the same terms and conditions as GM can acquire the rights in the Prospect, subject to any mutually agreed tribute or royalty payable to GM on reasonable ordinary commercial terms, which terms and conditions are to be specified in the Acquisition Notice.

The Acquisition Notice is an irrevocable offer and must remain open for a period of twenty (20) business days from the date of the Acquisition Notice, unless otherwise agreed by GM and the Company ( Acceptance Period ), who agree to act in good faith and reasonably with respect to any extension of the Acceptance Period.

The Company may accept the offer in the Acquisition Notice and proceed to acquire the rights in the Prospect by giving written notice to GM during the Acceptance Period ( Acceptance Notice ).

In the event that the Company issues a valid Acceptance Notice, then GM must provide all reasonable assistance to the Company to complete the Company’s acquisition of the rights in the Prospect.

If the Company does not deliver an Acceptance Notice to GM during the Acceptance Period then the Company is deemed to have elected not to exercise its rights under the Letter Agreement GM may proceed to acquire the rights in the Prospect or otherwise deal with the Prospect as it determines.

2. OFFER UPDATE
