EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Introduction $\mathbf 1$ .
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the general meeting to be held at Level 4, State One House, 172 St George's Terrace, Perth, Western Australia at 10.00am on 11th May 2005 (WST).
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information the Board of Directors believes is material to Shareholders in relation to the resolutions in the Notice. The Explanatory Memorandum explains the resolutions and identifies the Directors' decisions for putting them to Shareholders.
Resolution 1 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares $2.$
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder ratification for 25,800,000 Shares the Company issued prior to the date of this Notice. On 16 February and 31 March 2005 the Company announced the issue of 7,800,000 and 18,000,000 Shares respectively (i.e. a total of 25,800,000 Shares) each at an issue price of £0.07 to raise a total of £1,806,000 before issue costs.
The 18,000,000 Shares is the first part of the Placement.
The second part of the Placement is an issue of 17,714,286 Shares each at £0.07 to raise a total of £1,240,000 before issue costs and is independent of the first part and is being considered for approval by Shareholders in Resolution 2.
The 25,800,000 Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 by ratifying the issue of the 25,800,000 Shares will be to restore the Company's ability to issue shares (or options) within that limit, to the extent of the 25,800,000 Shares.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.5 Shareholders are advised as follows:
- the Shares were issued to RAB Special Situations LP for the 7,800,000 $(a)$ Shares and clients of Durlacher Limited (who is the Company's broker on the AIM market) for the 18,000,000 Shares all of whom are all unrelated parties of the Company;
- 25,800,000 Shares were issued each at £0.07 to raise £1,806,000 (before $(b)$ issue costs);
- a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice; and (c)
$(d)$ the funds were used to fund completion of Transgold's Central Tailings project, working capital for Transgold. Ukraine drilling programme and BFS on existing resource, complete the acquisition of the remaining 25% of Saulyak LLC and additional working capital.
Resolution 2-Authority to Place Shares $\overline{3}$
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 17,714,286 Shares each at £0.07 to raise £1,240,000 before issue costs. This is the second part of the Placement. The first part of the Placement, being the issue of 18,000,000 Shares each at £0.07 to raise a total of £2,500,000 before issue costs, has completed and is being considered for ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 by Shareholders in Resolution 1.
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 17,714,286 Shares. Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's securities then on issue.
The issue of 17,714,286 Shares represents more than the 15% of the Company's securities on issue and as none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply Shareholder approval is required in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3, Shareholders are advised as follows:
- the maximum number of Shares the Company can issue under Resolution 2 is $(a)$ 17.714.286 Shares:
- $(b)$ the Company will issue the Shares no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2);
- the Shares will be issued each at £0.07 to clients of Durlacher Limited (who is $(c)$ the Company's broker on the AIM market) all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company;
- the Shares to be issued are ordinary shares and rank equally with the $(d)$ Company's existing listed Shares;
- a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice; and $(e)$
- $(f)$ the expected application of funds is to fund completion of Transgold's Central Tailings project, working capital for Transgold, Ukraine drilling programme and BFS on existing resource, complete the acquisition of the remaining 25% of Saulyak LLC and additional working capital.
