The Manager Companies Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000
Dear Sir
NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENTS OFFER
Bass Metals Ltd (ASX:BSM) (“Bass” or the “Company”) is pleased to offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share (“New Share”) plus one free attaching new option (“New Option”) for every three existing shares held at 5.00pm (Perth time) on the Record Date of 23 September 2011, with any fractional entitlements being rounded down, via a non-renounceable entitlements offer (“the Offer”).
The price for each New Share shall be $0.15 and the free attaching New Option, which is planned to be listed on the ASX, will have an exercise price of $0.20 each and will expire on 30 September 2014.
The minimum raising under the Offer will be $8 million and, if fully subscribed, the total amount raised (before costs) will be approximately $10.7 million.
-
The funds from the Offer are intended to be used to:
-
manage a short-term working capital requirement largely associated with the Company's Hellyer Mine Project;
-
maintain an appropriate working capital position; and
-
sustain a large scale exploration and refractory gold recovery feasibility study program.
The maximum number of New Shares which will be issued under the Offer is approximately 71,143,608 and the maximum number of free attaching New Options which will be issued under the Offer is also approximately 71,143,608. The New Shares will rank equally with existing Shares of the Company from the date of allotment. The Company will apply to have the New Shares and New Options quoted on ASX.
Eligible shareholders will be offered an opportunity to apply for additional New Shares and New Options under any shortfall. The Directors reserve the right to issue the shortfall at their discretion in accordance ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3). The shortfall to the Offer may be placed by the Directors of the Company at their sole discretion to any party, other than to related parties, within three months of the close of the Offer.
Helmsec Global Capital Limited is the Lead Manager to the Offer.
A proposed timetable and Appendix 3B in relation to the Offer are attached.
