2. TRANSACTION DETAILS OF THE HOLFONTEIN COAL PROJECT
2.1 Summary
The Company has identified the South African coal industry as presenting significant opportunities to enhance shareholder value and has reached agreement with Coal of Africa Limited ( CZA ) to acquire 100% of the Holfontein Coal Project in South Africa ( Holfontein Project ). The initial consideration for the acquisition is $15 million, payable in a mix of cash and shares. Additional payments may be required if certain key milestones are satisfied.
The Company intends to continue its stated strategy of developing the Holfontein Project, continuing exploration at the Bushranger Copper Project and growing the Company through further acquisitions within the resource sector, with a strategic focus in the bulk commodities (coal), copper and gold sectors.
2.2 Transaction Summary
The initial consideration for the acquisition is a payment of $15 million, with a minimum cash consideration of $9 million. This payment will be made upon transfer of the Holfontein Project tenements to Lachlan Star’s nominated subsidiary.
The share component of the initial payment is to be satisfied through the issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 each, which is the subject of Resolution 2.
The cash component of the initial consideration will be satisfied from existing cash reserves.
In addition to the initial consideration, there are a series of milestone payments related to the granting of the New Order Mining Right (NOMR) and production targets which may become payable. The milestones for these payments and the payment terms are as follows:
-
(a) a cash payment of $1 million and a payment of $2 million to be satisfied by the issue of Shares (to be priced at the 30 day VWAP prior to payment) upon grant of the NOMR;
-
(b) a cash payment of $2 million and a payment of $3 million to be satisfied by the issue of Shares (to be priced at the 30 day VWAP prior to payment) upon the production of an aggregate of 500,000 tonnes of saleable coal; and
-
(c) a cash payment of $1 million and a payment of $1 million to be satisfied by the issue of Shares (to be priced at the 30 day VWAP prior to payment) upon the production of an aggregate of 1,500,000 tonnes of saleable coal.
In the event the Company is required to make any of the milestone payments the method of financing will be determined at the time depending on the prevailing market conditions and may take the form of a rights issue, further placement, debt funding (either straight debt or by way of convertible note), or from future cash flows.
6
Completion of the acquisition is conditional upon:
-
(a) approval from all relevant regulatory bodies in South Africa for the transfer of title to the Company’s nominated subsidiary;
-
(b) assignment of CZA’s rights under the Wildebeestfontein Option Agreement dated 3 December 2007 (pursuant to which CZA has an option to acquire the adjoining Wildebeestfontein Farm) to the Company;
-
(c) shareholder approval of the transaction from the Company’s shareholders; and
-
(d) completion of satisfactory legal due diligence by the Company.
As a result of the transaction, and assuming a share component of $6 million, CZA will become the largest shareholder in the Company, with approximately 15.75%.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO COAL OF AFRICA LIMITED
3.1 General
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.03 per Share to CZA in partial consideration for the acquisition of the Holfontein Coal Project ( CZA Issue ). The purpose of the CZA Issue is to satisfy the share component of the consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition of the Holfontein Project as described in paragraph 2.2 above.
This resolution was presented to and passed by Shareholders at a General Meeting held on 18th June 2008. Completion of the acquisition, as defined in paragraph 2.2, had not occurred by 18th September 2008 and therefore the Shares could not be issued within 3 months of shareholder approval as required under the ASX Listing Rules. The same resolution is being put to Shareholders for approval again.
The proposed allottee, CZA, is not a related party of the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the CZA Issue during the period of 3 months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
3.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the CZA Issue:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 200,000,000;
-
(b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;
-
(c) the deemed issue price will be $0.03 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to CZA;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) no funds will be raised pursuant to the CZA Issue as the Shares are being issued as partial consideration for the acquisition of the Holfontein Project as described in paragraph 2.2 above.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Share Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
