EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – DISPOSAL OF 70% INTEREST IN MT HENRY GOLD PROJECT
1.1 Background
-
On 26 June 2012, the Company announced to ASX that the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Australian Strategic and Precious Metals Investment Pty Ltd ( ASP ), had entered into:
-
(a) a sale and purchase agreement ( SPA ) under which ASP and the Company have agreed to sell a 70% interest in the Mt Henry Gold Project (previously known as the Norseman Gold Project) ( Project ) to Mt Henry Gold Pty Ltd ( Mt Henry Gold ) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Panoramic Resources Limited ( Panoramic ); and
-
(b) an unincorporated joint venture agreement with Mt Henry Gold and Panoramic in respect of the Project that commences once the SPA completes ( JV Agreement ).
-
A summary of material terms of the SPA and the JV Agreement are set out in clause 1.3.
The Project is comprised of 93 tenements located in Western Australia. Further details of the Project are set out in Section 1.4 below.
The consideration payable to ASP is A$5 million cash plus the issue of 14 million fully paid, ordinary Panoramic shares. If completed, the SPA will realise significant value for the Company’s investment in the Project to date.
On completion of the SPA, the Company (via ASP) will continue to hold a 30% joint venture interest in the Project and, in addition, will still hold:
-
(a) 100% of the Dundas Iron Ore Project;
-
(b) 100% of the Paisali Iron Ore Project;
-
(c) 100% of the Siam Copper Project;
-
(d) 100%of the KT Gold Project; and
-
(e) 100% of the Dunnsville Project.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 11.2
ASX Listing Rule 11.2 provides that an entity must seek the approval of its Shareholders before disposing of its main undertaking.
The ASX has advised the Company that the proposed sale under the SPA represents the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking and so requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 11.2.
The SPA is conditional, amongst other things, on the Company obtaining such shareholder approval.
Resolution 1 seeks this approval from Shareholders.
- 1.3 Summary of the SPA and JV Agreement
Under the SPA, ASP and the Company have agreed to sell, and Mt Henry Gold has agreed to acquire, a 70% interest in the Project on the following material terms and conditions:

1.4
Overview of the Mt Henry Gold Project
The Project tenements cover 135km[2] and are located south of the township of Norseman in Western Australia. The Project comprises three separate known deposits being Mt Henry, North Scotia and Selene. The Project is located on the southern end of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone belt. Importantly, Mt Henry, North Scotia and Selene are all located on granted mining leases.
Mt Henry Deposit
The Mt Henry deposit is hosted in the Noganyer Formation, a distinct sedimentary sequence principally Banded Iron Formation (BIF) with intrusions of dolerite dykes and sills. The Mt Henry main lode is an elongated body that is 1.9km long, 6-10 metres wide and dips 65-75 degrees towards the west. Mineralisation extends to the surface and is open at depth.
Selene Deposit
The Selene deposit is hosted in the Noganyer Formation, a distinct sedimentary sequence, principally Banded Iron Formation (BIF) with intrusions of dolerite dykes and sills. Mineralisation extends 1.3km long and extends 550 metres down-dip at a shallow angle of around 20 degrees. The lode thickens in the central part of the deposit up to a true thickness of 35-40 metres. Mineralisation is open at depth to the west.
North Scotia Deposit
The North Scotia deposit covers a strike length of 600 metres within Archean mafic rocks of the Woolyeenyer Formation which host auriferous quartz veins.
1.5 Value of the SPA
The Directors believe that the value to be realised under the SPA represents the best available outcome for all Shareholders.
6
2852-04/Matsa Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) 12-7-12 x.docx
The Directors believe that the SPA offers a greater return on equity to Shareholders than continuing to hold a 100% interest in the Project, with the consequent cost of further equity and debt capital raisings, as well as the exposure to regulatory, developmental, operational and market related risks.
In considering the value of the Project, the Directors had regard to the requirements for substantial funding to continue to define the resource and to the significant amount of capital which would be required to exploit the resource. As far as possible, Directors also considered the market value of similar projects. The Directors are satisfied that the cash consideration of A$5,000,000 and the issue of 14,000,000 Panoramic Shares is fair because:
-
it recognises the value of the Project;
-
the Company retains a 30% joint venture interest in the Project, with the safety net of a fixed cash or share exit price with production royalty in the event the Company is unable to source funding or financing for its share of any development; and
-
it provides the Company with the capacity to seek out new projects to enhance Shareholder wealth and to consider other capital management initiatives.
1.6 Indicative Timetable
Subject to ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act requirements, the Company anticipates completion of the SPA will be in accordance with the following timetable:
timetable: |
|
|---|---|
| Notice of Meeting despatched to Shareholders | 13 July 2012 |
| General Meeting to approve SPA | 14 August 2012 |
| Anticipated satisfaction/waiver of all conditions in SPA | 15 August 2012 |
| Anticipated completion of SPA | 21 August 2012 |
1.7 Effect of the SPA and Resolution 1 on the Company
If the SPA is approved and completed:
-
(a) the Company (via ASP) will retain a 30% joint venture interest in the Project;
-
(b) the Company’s assets will also comprise interests in the Dundas Iron Ore, Paisali Iron Ore, Siam Copper, KT Gold and Dunnsville projects;
-
(c) the Company will hold 14,000,000 Panoramic Shares, issued to the Company pursuant to the SPA;
-
(d) the Board will have a stronger focus on the Dundas Iron Ore, Paisali Iron Ore, Siam Copper, KT Gold and Dunnsville projects; and
-
(e) the Company will also continue to evaluate potential exploration/mining opportunities in the resource sector.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM
-
( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at a General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
( Signing Instructions ):
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.
- ( **Joint Holding** ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.
- ( **Power of Attorney** ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
- ( **Companies** ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
a) post to Matsa Resources Limited, PO Box 376, Northbridge, WA, 6865; or
-
b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9227 0370; or
-
c) email to the Company at [email protected],
so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.
Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
