Pursu a nt to the Ter m Sheet, GF M C will pay A u sCopper a $ 5 0,000 optio n fee to acqui r e an option t o purch a se the Tene m ents. The o p tion term will be 9 months from 21 July 2018 and it c an be exten d by ag r eement bet w een the par t ies. Upon t h e exercise o f the option, the consideration for th e Tene m ents will be $500,000 pay a ble in ordinar y shares in G F MC. Under the Term Sh e et, GFMC w ill be respon s ible for the e x ploration wit h in the Tene m ents, and for keeping the Tene m ents in g o od standing, including ( a mong othe r s) meeting the minimu m expen d iture require m ents, paying tenement re n ts, and local g overnment r a tes.
The tr a nsaction is c o nditional on:
- Korab shareholder appr o val if require d under the A S X Listing Ru l es:
Because t h e value of t he consideration constitutes more tha n 20% of th e consolidate d equity interest of Kora b , Korab ma y be require d to seek sh a reholder ap p roval for thi s transaction in general m eeting pursu a nt to Listing Rule 11.4.

Under a separate a greement e x ecuted betw e en Australian Copper H o ldings Pty L t d ( ACH ) an d GFMC, ACH will be responsible f or defending the forfeiture action in res p ect of tenement E08/2115. In the unlikely even t that the ten e ment E08/2115 is forfeite d , GFMC will h ave 30 day s to decide if it wants to terminate the option.
