Dear Shareholder
RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
On 2 June 2008 Icon Resources Ltd (ASX Code: III) announced the terms of a renounceable rights issue of one New Share for every three Shares held by Shareholders at an Issue price of 20 cents per Share held at the Record Date of 12 June 2008, with one free attaching New Option for every two New Shares subscribed for. The Options will be exercisable at 35 cents each at any time prior to the expiry date of 30 June 2009. The Prospectus was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and ASX on 2 June 2008.
On exercise of the Options, the issued Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing quoted ordinary Shares. Holdings on different registers (or subregisters) will be aggregated for calculating entitlements.
The Rights Issue will raise approximately $3.1 million (before costs) through the issue of approximately 15.498 million shares and includes a Shortfall Facility whereby existing Icon shareholders (on the register at 5:00pm on 12 June 2008) will have priority in applying for additional New Shares and attaching New Options in excess of their pro-rata Entitlements.
Any remaining Shortfall will be allocated by the Broker to the Issue (ABN AMRO Morgans) in consultation with the Icon Directors.
Following completion of the Offer, the following securities will be on issue (assuming none of the existing options are exercised):
-
61,990,998 ordinary Shares on issue – quoted on ASX
-
7,748,875 Options exercisable at $0.35 up to 30 Jun 2009 – quoted on ASX
-
1,200,000 Options exercisable at $0.30 up to 8 March 2011 – not quoted on ASX
-
1,260,870 Options exercisable at $0.45 up to 30 November 2012 – not quoted on ASX
-
400,000 Options exercisable at $0.30 up to 30 November 2012 – not quoted on ASX
The purpose of this Rights Issue is to raise working capital to fund the feasibility studies for re-treatment of tailings, drilling and test work to underpin a feasibility study for re-opening the open pit and underground mines at Mt Carbine, and exploration of the potential for ore grade mineralisation north of the pit. The funding will also continue Icon's exploration activities, in particular its gold (Crow King, near Barraba) and tin (Tara, near Hillston) prospects in NSW, and the Fitzroy copper zinc project north-west of Rockhampton in Queensland.
Shareholders will receive their copy of the Prospectus soon and application can only be made on the personalised entitlement and acceptance form accompanying the Prospectus. A copy of the Prospectus is also available for review on the ASX website www.asx.com.au or on the Company’s website www.iconresources.com.au.
