Item 1 – Approval for Issue of Shares to Hoki (Resolution 1)

1.1 Background to Resolution 1

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the allotment and issue of 20,000,000 Shares to Hoki in accordance with the provisions of the Terms Sheet.

The Company and Hoki entered into the Terms Sheet on 28 June 2010 for the purposes of proceeding to a joint venture agreement to develop the Company’s Projects. The terms and conditions of the Terms Sheet were disclosed to the market via a ASX announcement dated 30 June 2010.

The Shares will be issued within 3 months of the Meeting at an issue price of $0.25 each per Share. Of the funds raised, $3,500,000 will be used for exploration on the Projects with $1,500,000 being retained by the Company for general working capital.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 20,000,000 Shares under the placement.

1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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 these securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 20,000,000 Shares to Hoki. The Company confirms that Hoki is not a related party of the Company and is an investor exempt from disclosure under the requirements of the Corporations Act.

If Resolution 1 is passed, following the issue of the 20,000,000 Shares referred to above, the Company will still have the capacity to issue 15% of its expanded Share capital over the next 12 months as those Shares, once issued, will be excluded from the calculation under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Shares referred to above must occur no later than 3 months, or such later date as permitted by ASX, from the date of the General Meeting.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed Share placement to Hoki:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 20,000,000;

  • (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 an ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and its is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.25 each per Share;

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised under the Share placement to carry out the planned exploration programmes in respect of the Company’s Projects and for general working capital requirements.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
