actionoz\Analyst presentation\Fort Knox Analyst Roadshow Presentation v18.pptx

A compelling alliance for future growth

Catalpa and Conquest have entered into an agreement to create a leading growth focused, asset diversified mid-cap gold company in Australia

  • Four wholly owned operating gold mines: Edna May, Cracow, Mt Rawdon, Pajingo

  • One development project: Mt Carlton

  • Significant exploration potential

  • Experienced and entrepreneurial management team, with complementary skills and experience

  • Focused on creation of shareholder value throu g h a clear g rowth-orientated strate gy

The Merged Entity will be created through two concurrent, interconditional transactions

  • All-scrip merger of equals between Catalpa and Conquest

  • Scheme of Arrangement vote by Conquest shareholders

  • “ ”

  • Catalpa the surviving entity ( Merged Entity )

  • Asset acquisition from Newcrest of its 100% interest in Mt Rawdon and 70% interest in Cracow in exchange for a 38%[2] interest in the Merged Entity – Ordinary resolution vote by Catalpa shareholders

On completion of the merger and asset acquisition, the Merged Entity will undertake a renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer o ra se approx mat i i te y l $150m

  • Suitably capitalises the significantly enlarged company, ensuring financial flexibility to develop its asset portfolio and pursue growth opportunities

  • Pro forma market capitalisation post the entitlement offer of ~A$1.18 billion[1]

  • At Conquest and Catalpa’s request, Newcrest will not participate in the offering and, as a result, will dilute its interest to ~33%[2] and enable the Merged Entity to broaden its investor base

The Directors of Catalpa and Conquest unanimously recommend the proposed transaction in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to a favourable opinion of the independent expert

1. Based on closing price of Catalpa on 14-Jun-2011.

2. Represents equity valuation of outstanding shares and options. Final ownership will vary depending on exercise of options.

Recent precedent support a Price/NAV re-rate

Even before Merged Entity achieves earnings growth through optimisation of the asset base and growth, with reference to the most recent Australian gold Merger of Equals transaction suggests a Price/NAV re-rate

If Merged Entity were to re-rate to the same extent as Alacer, post transaction, Merged Entity could potentially trade at 1.2x NAV

Summary

The combination creates a leading growth focused, asset diversified mid-cap Australian gold producer

  • Four wholly-owned operating gold mines: Edna May, Cracow, Mt Rawdon and Pajingo, already producing close to 300koz pa

  • An immediate development opportunity, Mt Carlton, with other organic growth opportunities that could expand production to 450koz pa in the next two years

  • A significant and highly prospective pipeline of exploration opportunities

  • Strong financial platform to pursue growth with cash post proposed equity raising of more than $200m and modest debt of $61m[1]

  • A strong mandate to grow the Merged Entity

  • Australia’s largest gold producer, Newcrest, as a supportive major shareholder with two Board representatives

1. Pro forma debt balance does not reflect potential project finance facilities that Conquest is contemplating for Mt Carlton. Conquest intends to continue to progress negotiations for these facilities to cover potential Mt Carlton project commitments pre-completion, although no commitments have been entered into at present.

  • Concurrently and interconditionally, the Merged Entity acquires Mt Rawdon (100%) and Cracow (70%) assets from Newcrest for equity consideration

  • Consideration equal to 38%[1] of the Merged Entity’s pro-forma and fully diluted market capitalisation on day of announcement

  • After Scheme implementation, the Merged Entity raises $150m of equity via a pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer

  • Newcrest will not participate in the raising; proforma holding reduced to ~33%[1]

  • Non-participation by Newcrest will allow the Merged Entity to target new institutional shareholders to support the company going forward

Notes to Catalpa Mineral Resource statement

Edna May and Greenfinch footnotes:

Edna May April 2010 and Greenfinch December 2009, Mineral Resources, were estimated using Hellman & Schofield MIK block modeling techniques , based on a (0 . 4g/t) Au cut - off grade within a geologically and grade defined mineralisation envelopes and in accordance with the Australian JORC Code.

  • The Resources are estimates of recoverable tonnes and grades using Multiple Indicator Kriging with block support correction into 25 metres (East) by15 metre (North) by 5 metre (Elevation) model blocks and assuming smallest mining unit for ore selection in mine grade control of 5 metres (East) by 3 metres (North) by 2.5 metres (Elevation)

  • Measured and Indicated resources lie in areas where drilling is available at a maximum of 25 x 25 metre spacing, Inferred resources exist in areas o f b roa d er space d d r illi ng, genera ll y per p i h era l t o th e M easure d an d I n di ca e t d pane s . l

  • Edna May and Greenfinch Mineral Resource figures are stated at the 31 December, 2010 on an attributable basis, with depletion by production where relevant

  • There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, political or other relevant issues that would materially affect the estimates of the Mineral Resources

  • Mineral Resources are inclusive of Ore Reserves. The stated contained Mineral Resource metal ounces are considered insitu ; beneficiation recovery factors have not been applied

  • Due to rounding of figures small discrepancies may exist

Cracow footnotes

  • Cracow Mineral Resource figures are stated on a 30% attributable basis, with depletion by production where relevant to 31 March 2011

  • Due to rounding of figures small discrepancies may exist

  • .

  • Cracow is an unincorporated joint venture between Catalpa (30%) and Newcrest (70%). Further details on CGJV Ore Reserve are available on the Newcrest website www.newcrest.com.au

Edna May Underground footnotes

Notes to Catalpa Ore Reserve statement

Edna May and Greenfinch footnotes

The Edna May & Greenfinch Ore Reserve, which was estimated using Whittle Software based on relevant diluted mining Au cut-off grades in accordance with the Australian JORC Code , is summarised in the following table:

  • A gold price of A$1,250 has been assumed in estimating the Greenfinch and Edna May Ore Reserves

  • The economic cut-off grade applied to the Edna May and Greenfinch Ore Reserve was 0.4g/t Au

  • Edna May and Greenfinch Ore Reserve figures are stated at the 31 December, 2010 on a 100% attributable basis, with depletion by production where relevant.

  • There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, political or other relevant issues that would materially affect the estimates of the Ore Reserves.

  • Due to rounding of figures small discrepancies may exist.

Cracow footnotes

  • Cracow Ore Reserve figures are stated on a 30% attributable basis, with depletion by production where relevant to 31 March 2011

  • Due to rounding of figures small discrepancies may exist.

  • Metal price assumptions used by Newcrest to convert Mineral Resource to Ore Reserves are US$850/oz gold, a USD to AUD exchange rate assumption of 0.75 for metal price conversion was applied

  • Cracow is an unincorporated joint venture between Catalpa (30%) and Newcrest (70%) . Further details on CGJV Ore Reserve are available on the Newcrest website www.newcrest.com.au
