SMALL SHAREHOLDING SALE FACILITY

ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT

23 August 2018

ABN: 72 002 261 565

ASX CODE: TNR

Torian Resources Ltd ( Torian or Company ) ( ASX:TNR ) recognises that there are a large number of shareholders with small parcels of shares for whom it may not be cost effective to sell those shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).

Torian advises it has established a small shareholding sale facility ( Sale Facility ) for shareholders on the register who have Torian holdings valued at less than A$500 ( Small Shareholdings ).

Your Torian shares have been included in the Sale Facility because our share register shows that, as at 5pm WST on 22 August 2018, the number of shares held by you was a Small Shareholding (i.e. less than A$500).

If the market value of your holding remains below A$500 at 5pm (WST) on Thursday, 4 October 2018 ( Sale Facility Closing Date ), your Torian shares will be sold and the proceeds sent to you unless you notify us that you do not want them sold.

If you wish to retain your shares, please notify us prior to the Sale Facility Closing Date by completing and returning the Retention Form to Advanced Share Registry.

WHY HAS TORIAN ESTABLISHED THE SALE FACILITY?

Torian is offering shareholders with Small Shareholdings an opportunity to sell their shares through the Sale Facility at a market price, without incurring any brokerage or transfer fees. Shareholders can choose to opt out of the Sale Facility by completing and returning the Retention Form included.

The Sale Facility will also reduce Torian’s administrative and registry costs associated with small parcels of shares.

HOW DOES THE SALE FACILITY WORK?

Shares included in the Sale Facility will be sold following the Sale Facility Closing Date, unless we are notified otherwise or the holding is no longer less than A$500.

Shareholders will not pay any brokerage or handling fees for the sale of their Torian shares under the Sale Facility. The price that you receive for your shares under the Sale Facility will be determined by when and how the shares are sold. The shares will be sold at the authorised price being the price per share of the Torian securities equal to the simple average of the last sale prices of Torian on ASX for each of the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of any offer received by the Company pursuant to Clause 3.8 of the Constitution. Torian directors may sell your shares on market or in any other way they consider fair and reasonable in the circumstances. You will not have control over the time at which your shares are sold, the price you receive may be different from the price appearing in the newspaper or quoted by ASX on any day, may not be the best price on the day that your shares are sold and may be an average price per share based on the price obtained for all the shares sold under the Sale Facility.
