Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to provide this update in respect of Metminco Limited’s ( Company or Metminco ) proposed takeover of Andes Resources Limited ( Andes ) ( Takeover ) and associated transactions. Subject to completion, these transactions will transform the Company into a leading Colombian gold explorer and developer, with a dominant position in the richly endowed Mid-Cauca Gold Belt of Colombia where the Company expects to undertake a maiden drilling programme at the Chuscal Gold Project, soon after completion.

Important Update on Capital Raising

Enclosed is a copy of the withdrawal notice lodged with ASIC today ( Withdrawal Notice ) to withdraw the prospectus lodged on 18 June 2019 to allow for the inclusion of a number of additional disclosures.

As a result of the withdrawal, the Company has instructed its share registry to return all application monies received pursuant to the capital raising offers received to date. Given the necessary return of funds received to date, all eligible shareholders and other applicants (including Andes shareholders) will be invited to apply (or re-apply) to participate in the capital raising.

The Company intends to lodge a new prospectus shortly, which will confirm that the structure of the capital raising for up to $2.332 million at an issue price of $0.002 per share remains unchanged, including that the offers under the Prospectus are fully committed through the combination of:

  • Sandfire Resources NL’s ( Sandfire ) intention to subscribe to approximately $990,000 (as announced on 17 May 2019) making Sandfire a 15% shareholder of Metminco upon close; and

  • the underwriting of the balance of $1.342 million by Hartleys Limited (as announced on 3 June 2019).

There is no individual limit on the number of shares eligible shareholders or other applicants (including Andes shareholders) may apply for, meaning applicants may apply for any number of shares, noting however that the maximum number of shares on offer in aggregate is 1,166,000,000 .

The Company encourages all Metminco and Andes shareholders to consider the new prospectus once available, and this opportunity to top-up their shareholding with no brokerage costs at a pivotal time in the Company’s evolution.

Takeover Offer Status

Strong progress is being made towards completion of the Takeover (and associated transactions). Notably, Metminco shareholders voted in favour of all resolutions necessary to complete the Takeover at its recent general meeting (as announced on15 July 2019).

As at the close of business on 16 July 2019, Andes shareholders representing 68.8% of Andes shares have accepted the Takeover offer, and a further 19.4% held by Sandfire is expected to be accepted into the Takeover offer pursuant to the conditional intention statement provided by Sandfire, as announced on 17 May 2019.

The Takeover offer is expected to close on 7 August 2019. All new shares in respect of the Takeover and the associated transactions (including the capital raising offers) are expected to be issued by the Company shortly after this date.

If you have any queries in relation to the Takeover, capital raising offers or associated transactions, please contact either Kevin Wilson or Jason Stirbinskis on the details set out below:
