Dear Elizabeth
In response to your letter dated 12 January 2012 regarding the late lodgement of an Appendix 3Y for Messrs Bryan Dixon, David Seymour and Philip Miolin, Midwinter Resources NL (“Midwinter” or “the Company”) responds as follows:
1. Please explain why the Appendix was lodged late
The Appendix was lodged late due to an internal administrative oversight. The notice was lodged immediately upon the oversight having been identified.
2. What arrangements does the Company have in place with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.19A
The Company has entered into an agreement with its Directors and has a process that requires all Directors to notify the Company Secretary of any transactions involving any change of their notifiable interest immediately or at the very latest, within three business days after the changes occur. Additionally, the Company Secretary and the officers assigned to report to the ASX review the directors’ shareholding regularly to ensure that all relevant movements are reported to the ASX within the time frame.
3. If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does the Company intend to take to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B
Apart from this administrative oversight, the Company considers the current arrangements to be adequate to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B.
Yours sincerely
Julie Hill Company Secretary

- Listing rule 3.19B which states as follows.
An entity must make such arrangements as are necessary with a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) to ensure that the director discloses to the entity all the information required by the entity to give ASX completed Appendices 3X, 3Y and 3Z within the time period allowed by listing rule 3.19.A. The entity must enforce the arrangements with the director.
- The Companies Update dated 27 June 2008, reminding listed entities of their obligation to notify ASX within 5 business days of the notifiable interests in securities held by each director and outlining the action that ASX would take in relation to breaches of listings rules 3.19A and 3.19B.
The Appendices 3Y indicates a change in the notifiable interest of each of Messrs Dixon, Seymour and Miolin occurred on 1 December 2011 so the appendices should have been lodged with the ASX by 8 December 2011. As the Appendices 3Y were lodged on 11 January 2012 it appears that the Company may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.
Please note that ASX is required to record details of breaches of the listing rules by listed companies for its reporting requirements.
ASX reminds the Company of its contract with ASX to comply with the listing rules. In the circumstances ASX considers that it is appropriate that the Company make necessary arrangements to ensure there is not a reoccurrence of a breach of the listing rules.

-
