Sirius Resources NL (ASX:SIR) (“Sirius” or the “Company”) advises that the Federal Court of Australia has given orders to Sirius approving the issue of the scheme booklets in relation to the proposal by Independence Group NL (“IGO”) to acquire all the shares in Sirius by an acquisition scheme of arrangement between Sirius and its shareholders (“Acquisition Scheme”), and the demerger of the Polar Bear and Scandinavian assets into S2 Resources Ltd (“S2”) (Demerger Scheme), (together, the "Scheme Booklets").

The Court has also ordered that two meetings of Sirius shareholders be convened to consider and vote on the Schemes, with a general meeting also to be held to allow Sirius shareholders to consider and vote on the capital reduction to effect the Demerger Scheme.

If the Schemes are approved and all conditions precedent are satisfied, Sirius shareholders will receive:

• 0.66 IGO shares for every one (1) Sirius share held; and

Projects:

Fraser Range nickel-copper, gold Polar Bear gold, nickel

• cash consideration of 52 cents per Sirius share,

as consideration under the Acquisition Scheme, as well as one (1) S2 share for every two (2) Sirius shares held[1] . S2 will hold the Polar Bear and Scandinavian asset portfolio currently owned by Sirius, plus approximately A$22 million cash.

The Independent Expert has concluded that the Acquisition Scheme and the Demerger Scheme are in the best interests of Sirius shareholders, in the absence of a superior proposal.

The Sirius Board unanimously recommends that all Sirius shareholders vote in favour of all of the proposed resolutions to be put to Sirius shareholders at the relevant meetings.

The directors of Sirius intend to vote in favour of the relevant transaction resolutions in relation to their personal share holdings in Sirius, in the absence of a superior proposal (and subject to any other applicable voting restrictions).

1 Sirius shareholders who hold partly paid shares will participate in the Schemes in proportion to the amount paid up on their shares.
