It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 135,000,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

  • (a) a total of 135,000,000 Placement Shares were issued;

  • (b) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.004 per Share;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • 6 -

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares are intended to be used towards advancing the Company's Quinchia Gold Project in Colombia, the costs of the Placement and general working capital; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Placement Options

4.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 45,000,000 Placement Options to Placement Participants, on the basis of 1 free-attaching Placement Option for every 3 Placement Shares subscribed for and issued.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Placement Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Placement Options:

  • (a) a maximum of 45,000,000 Quoted Options are to be issued as Placement Options;

  • (b) the Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
