ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 8 February 2016

ISSUE OF NEW SHARES AND UNLISTED OPTIONS

Syndicated Metals Limited (ASX: SMD) (“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has issued the following securities:

  • 14,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares;

  • 17,880,000 Top-Up Shares to CopperChem; and

  • 28,940,000 unlisted Options comprising 13,000,000 Options attached to the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued on 8 December 2015, 7,000,000 Options attached to the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and 8,940,000 Options attached to the Top-Up Shares.

Details of the issues of each of the above securities are detailed below.

Issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares

The Company has issued 14,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (Shares) at 0.5 cents per Share to raise $70,000 under the Tranche 2 Placement as announced on 7 December 2015. The Shares were issued to companies associated with two directors (Mr Langworthy and Mr Morgan). Shareholder approval was obtained for the issue of these Shares at the shareholders meeting held on 29 January 2016.

- Issue of CopperChem Top Up Shares

On 8 December 2015, Syndicated issued 26,000,000 shares under its Tranche 1 Placement. The Company today issued 14,000,000 shares under its Tranche 2 Placement to companies associated with two directors as detailed above.

Pursuant to CopperChem Limited’s (CopperChem) anti-dilution right granted under the Placement Agreement signed between the Company and CopperChem in September 2013, Syndicated is required to offer to CopperChem new Shares in order for CopperChem to maintain the same percentage interest in the capital of Syndicated as was held prior to the issue of the new Shares. CopperChem exercised its right to subscribe for the new Shares following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Shares respectively.

The Company has today issued 17,880,000 fully paid ordinary shares to CopperChem. The Shares were issued at 0.5 cents per Share in line with the pricing of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Shares and raised $89,400. Approval to issue the shares was obtained at the shareholders meeting held on 29 January 2016.

Funds raised from the issue of the new Shares will be used for assessment of new gold and base metals project opportunities outside of the existing North-West Queensland tenement holding, exploration and asset maintenance activities associated with the Company’s Queensland coppergold projects to ensure the tenement holding is kept in good standing, finalisation of mining lease approvals for the Barbara Joint Venture in association with CopperChem Limited and general working capital and administrative expenses.

An Appendix 3B and a Secondary Trading Notice pursuant to section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is attached in relation to the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the CopperChem TopUp Shares.

Issue of Unlisted Options

Subscribers under both the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Placements were offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 free attaching unlisted option for every 2 Shares issued, with each option having an exercise price of 1.2 cents and expiring on 8 February 2018 (Options). This offer was made under the prospectus for the Entitlement Offer referred to in the ASX announcement dated 7 December 2015.

Following its election to exercise its anti-dilution right following the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Placements, CopperChem was also offered the opportunity to subscribe for Options. This offer was also made under the prospectus for the Entitlement Offer referred to in the ASX announcement dated 7 December 2015.

Following shareholder approval for the above Option issues obtained at the shareholders meeting held on 29 January 2016, the Company has today issued 28,940,000 Options.

The attached Appendix 3B includes the issue of these Options.
