Part A: Letter to Shareholders
15 October 2012
Dear Shareholders,
As Chairman of the Board of Directors I warmly invite each of you to attend Red Gum’s Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 November 2012. Details are contained in the accompanying Notice and Explanatory Memorandum which also provides the agenda and background for each of the three ordinary resolutions and one special resolution to be put to shareholders at that Meeting. Of course this will be our first AGM since listing on the Australian Stock Exchange earlier this year and, as outlined separately in my Chairman’s Statement contained within the Annual Report, released on 28 September 2012, we have “hit the ground running”.
Whilst I do not wish to repeat the contents of that Statement herein, it is worthwhile to reiterate some of the key points for those of you who may not have read it.
Our first drilling campaign has resulted in a new mineralisation discovery at La Negra in Chile. The drilling encountered polymetallic mineralised intervals of concentrations and at depths that could, subject to the outcome of additional drilling, host a commercially viable open pit operation.
Field studies, including geochemical studies recently completed, continue to provide very encouraging news from our Cerro Huancash project in Peru. Our project is located immediately adjacent to where Southern Peaks Mining has focused on an extensive drilling campaign, which to date has reported large, high grade copper-zinc-gold and silver exploration targets and resources on the “Ariana Corridor” which appears to extend and traverse our project area.
Red Gum has recently signed several confidentiality agreements with various third parties interested in considering possible participation in a number of our projects. The Company opened a small operational office in Combarbala Chile and will continue to focus on quality exploration and/or development opportunities in Latin America where interest remains high for copper, gold and polymetallic resources. Through an on-going assessment process, Red Gum is close to signing heads of agreements for options over tracts of exploration acreage which we believe could host large copper related targets - for which Chile is renowned. Our Managing Director, Dr Paul Pearson, who has had more than 15 years direct experience as an economic geologist and mining executive in Latin America, will present details of these and other highlights following the close of the formalities of the AGM.
Your Board is firmly of the view that notwithstanding the disappointing levels of our share price the Company has a robust business model for which it has already achieved drilling success. Through strategic alliances and exploration of our existing portfolio, together with future acquisitions of quality exploration and development opportunities, we believe Red Gum remains focused and on track to recapture the Company’s intrinsic value potential in the near to medium term.
To reiterate, I invite all shareholders to read the material and if possible attend the AGM. Alternatively, if you are unable to attend on behalf of the Board I invite you to complete the relevant voting and/or proxy form and return it prior to the meeting.
Thank you for your support.
Yours faithfully
Dr. Raymond Shaw Chairman Red Gum Resources Limited

Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report - as an ordinary resolution
The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 contains a Remuneration Report (refer pages 18 to 21 of the Annual Report) which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and Executives.
The Corporations Act (under section 250R(2)) requires the agenda for an annual general meeting to include a resolution for the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Members will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

-
(a) describes the policy behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the
-
Company and the link between the remuneration of employees and the Company’s performance;
-

-
(c) explains the differences between the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors and executives of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the meeting.
The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all Members that they vote in favour of this Resolution.
RGR AGM NOM EM Nov12 finalv2
Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986
Resolution 2 - Election of Dr Raymond Douglas Shaw as a Director of the Company - as an ordinary resolution
Clause 38 of the Constitution of the Company together with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 require that a Director (excluding the Managing Director) must not hold office without re-election past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer and ASX Listing Rule 14.5 requires that an election of Directors must be held each year.
The Company listed on the ASX on 17 January 2012 following a successful IPO and the directors in office at that time were Dr. R D Shaw, Mr. T J Marshall and Mr. N J Zillman with the Managing Director, Dr. P J Pearson appointed immediately following the IPO. Mr. Zillman has since resigned.
Dr. Shaw, being eligible, offers himself for election as a Director of the Company. Details of his qualifications and experience are set out below:
Dr Raymond Shaw – Non-Executive Chairman (appointed on 11 May 2006)
Dr Raymond Shaw is a geologist and geophysicist with more than 30 years’ experience in the resources and energy sector including the oil, gas and coal industries.
He commenced his professional career as a petroleum explorationist with Shell Development Australia in Perth, prior to working for various consulting groups including the Swiss based international consulting firm Petroconsultants SA, as resident director based in Singapore and responsible for its Far East operations.
He has consulted extensively to industry, government, and international aid agencies on a variety of resource projects throughout Australia and Asia, including the World Bank, Asia Development Bank and Ausaid. He was a part time consultant with the New South Wales Department of Mineral Resources for 7 years providing input for industry initiatives during the late 1990's and early 2000’s. Dr Shaw was founding Managing Director of Great Artesian Oil and Gas Limited prior to its listing on the ASX in 2003 until April 2007.

He has also served as a director of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Stage 1 development at Gladstone Harbour. He is also a director and Chairman of ASX listed Earth Heat Resources Limited (ASX: EHR).

The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. All Directors of the Company will be voting in favour of this Resolution and unanimously recommend that all Members vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3 - Ratification of prior issue of shares to David O'Connor or his nominee as an ordinary resolution
Resolution 3 seeks approval for the prior issue of 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares on 29 June 2012 to Mr. David O'Connor as payment in full (at a deemed value of 5.5 cents per share in lieu of cash) for work done by him to the value of $13,750 as a consultant to the Company regarding negotiations with various interested parties in respect to the Company's projects. Mr. O'Connor is an independent consultant and is not related to, or an associate of the Company.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, shareholders may subsequently approve the issue of securities made within the limitation prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. This Resolution seeks approval of the issue to Mr O'Connor for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.
The effect of shareholder approval being obtained under Listing 7.4 is that shares issued without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 are treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
RGR AGM NOM EM Nov12 finalv2
Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986
The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. All Directors of the Company will be voting in favour of this Resolution and unanimously recommend that all Members vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 4 - Approval of additional capacity to issue securities - as a special resolution
Effective 1 August 2012 the ASX introduced Listing Rule 7.1A to provide eligible mid to small cap listed entities with the ability to seek Member approval to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% (the Additional Capacity) of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placements over a 12 month period. Approval for the Additional Capacity may only be sought from Members at the AGM and will be valid for 12 months from the date of the AGM. Consequently, any securities issued pursuant to this approval must be issued by no later than 29 November 2013, or the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2, whichever occurs first.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Additional Capacity of 10% is in addition to the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 which permits companies to issue up to 15% of their issued capital without prior Member approval. At the date of this Notice the Company has on issue 74,978,727 shares and therefore has the capacity to issue:
-
i. 11,246,809 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
ii. subject to Member approval being sought under Resolution 4, 7,497,873 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A including the prescribed formula may be viewed on the ASX web site at www.asx.com.au.
The Company is now seeking Member approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Additional capacity.
The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. All Directors of the Company will be voting in favour of this Resolution and unanimously recommend that all Members vote in favour of this Resolution.
Additional information required pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A
Minimum Issue Price:
Listing Rule 7.1A states that securities issued under that rule must not be issued at a price that is less than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the securities calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded in those securities immediately before:
-
the date on which the issue price of the securities is agreed; or
-
the issue date (if the securities are not issued within five trading days of the date on which the issue is agreed).
As it is not known at this time if any additional capacity securities will be issued during the 12 month period, or when they may be issued, it is not presently possible to definitively state the minimum issue price except to confirm that the issue price will be calculated in accordance with the above formula.
The risk of economic and voting dilution of existing security holders:
The Company has only one class of quoted securities being fully paid ordinary shares. There is the risk that the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. In addition the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date. The following table provides several examples of the potential dilution of existing ordinary security holders based upon different assumed issue prices. In each example:
RGR AGM NOM EM Nov12 finalv2
Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986
-
the table only shows the dilution effect as a result of an Additional Capacity placement and does not show the effect of a 15% placement under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
the assumed issue price is based on a price that is 75% of an estimated future VWAP as described under Minimum Issue Price above;
-
the base issued capital is calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
the maximum Additional Capacity issue of 10% is made with no free attaching options;
-
no existing shareholder participates in the issues;
-
the dilution factor is on the basis that existing Members hold 100% voting power prior to the 10% Additional Capacity issue and following that issue the existing Members hold 90.9% of the new voting power; and
-
Resolution 3 has been approved.
| Base Issued Capital (existing holders) |
Assumed Issue Price $ |
Placement Shares |
Funds Raised $ |
Issued Capital Post Placement |
Dilution Factor for Existing Holders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74,978,727 | 0.03 | 7,497,872 | 224,936 | 82,476,599 | 9.1% |
| 112,468,090* | 0.02 | 11,246,809 | 224,936 | 123,714,899 | 9.1% |
| 149,957,454 ** | 0.015 | 14,995,745 | 224,936 | 164,953,199 | 9.1% |
Notes:
- The issued capital has increased by 50% during the period and the VWAP has decreased by one third.
** By way of further example and as required by Listing Rule 7.1A, this calculation assumes that during the period the shareholders have approved a new transaction that effectively doubled the number of issued ordinary shares, that the VWAP was 50% of the original VWAP and that no existing shareholder participated in that new transaction.
Date of Issue
Any securities issued under this resolution will be issued no later than 12 months from the date of the AGM, or the date of approval by the Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2, whichever occurs first. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that the holders of the Company's ordinary shares approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Purpose for which the equity securities may be issued
The Company has no particular purpose in mind at this time and merely wishes to be prepared for any eventuality. It is most likely that if an issue is made it will be for the purpose of furthering the development of the Company's assets and / or for general working capital. If a suitable opportunity arises, equity securities may be issued for other than cash to acquire or assist acquire a new asset from non related parties, commensurate with the Company's activities. Also equity securities may be issued in lieu of a cash payment for work done by non related parties as a method of preserving available cash in the Company.
Allocation Policy
The Company's allocation policy will depend upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed Additional Capacity issue. The identity of the allottees of Additional Capacity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the various factors including the following:
-
Securities will only be issued to sophisticated investors which may or may not include existing substantial shareholders and / or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
-
Securities will only be issued for purposes commensurate with the activities of the Company at the sole discretion of the Directors.
-
Any discount offered to investors will be the minimum possible in the circumstances.
-
Any free attaching options offered with the ordinary securities will not exceed the ratio of 1 option for every 2 shares, will have an exercise price at least 4 times the issue price of the shares and a term of at least 36 months with no vesting period.
-
The methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate.
-
The effect of the issue on the control of the Company.

Voting Exclusion Statement
The voting exclusion statement for this Resolution is included in the Notice of Meeting.
At the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has not approached any particular existing Member (or any other person) to participate in the issue of the equity securities. Therefore no existing Member's votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Meeting.

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Appointment of Proxy
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign. Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged 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, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the information tab, "Downloadable Forms".
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
