Part A: Letter to Shareholders

24 September 2013

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 Thursday, 7 November 2013. Details are contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum which also provides the agenda and background for each of the resolutions to be put to shareholders at that Meeting.

This year has been one of mixed fortunes for your Company. On the one hand we have had outstanding exploration results and the prospectivity potential of Cerro Huancash in Peru has been significantly enhanced, following geological and geophysical field work. Assay results from La Negra, following last year’s drilling campaign, confirmed it as our maiden polymetallic discovery, and of course, elsewhere in Region IV of Chile, we identified, negotiated and explored, within an exceptionally short time frame, the Majada Project – which now has resulted in a new copper-silver-gold discovery.

On the other hand, and opposed to all of these achievements, we have experienced a contemporaneous, gradual weakening of our share price. Unfortunately this seems to be the “new black”; a regime in which micro-capped miners have found themselves, post GFC. I can assure you that there is nothing more sobering to a junior mining company board than to see an essentially inert response by the market to the release of “good drilling results”.

Accordingly, we have in turn responded by implementing a number of measures designed to provide for your company’s next growth stages. We are putting in place appropriate counter measures to mitigate the persistent lacklustre market conditions; to provide sustainability and bolster our profile so that you, our shareholders, will receive the wealth growth you expect and deserve.

The year has also seen some changes in the board composition, with the departure of Dr Paul Pearson, the appointment of Jennifer Tobin, as Non-Executive Director, and myself taking on the role of Executive Chairman. I would like to express my gratitude to Paul for his contributions during what were the formative stages of your Company’s publicly listed life. Likewise, I would like to thank my other fellow directors, Torey Marshall and Jennifer Tobin – who in her short time has already made valuable contributions. Our Company Secretary, Mal Lucas-Smith, and Chief Financial Officer, Vicky Allinson, have both put in an exceptional performance this year.

Our technical output also directly reflects the calibre of the group of employees and contractors we have based in both Chile and Peru. On behalf of the Board I want to publicly express our appreciation for their various contributions, and particularly that of Miguel Huarachi who, as our project chief running operations from our regional office in Combarbalá, has fostered an excellent local team which is very focused on success.

In summation, we have in the past year demonstrated our technical ability to identify prospective assets and make new discoveries via well-run operations both in Peru and Chile

I invite all shareholders to read the Meeting material and the Annual Report, and if possible attend the AGM. Alternatively, if you are unable to attend the AGM, on behalf of the Board I invite you to complete the enclosed proxy form and return it prior to the meeting.

Thank you for your support.

Yours faithfully

Part C: Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at a Meeting of the Company to be held at the Minter Ellison Board Room, Level 10, 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide SA on Thursday 7 November 2013, commencing at 2:00 pm (Adelaide SA time).

A copy of the Notice of Meeting (including this Explanatory Memorandum) was lodged with ASX on 4 October 2013. The ASX does not take responsibility for the content of the Notice of Meeting (including this Explanatory Memorandum).

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of Meeting and must be read together with that Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business of the Meeting and of the Resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Meeting and to assist Shareholders in determining how they wish to vote on each of the Resolutions.

As far as legally possible the Directors intend to support each of the Resolutions.

Presentation of Audited Financial Statements

The Audited Financial Statements are incorporated within the Company's Annual Report for the financial year 2012/13 which has been sent to Shareholders with this Notice of Meeting. In the case of Shareholders who have not opted to receive printed reports, the Annual Report is available on the Company’s Web Site: www.redgumresources.com and / or from the ASX Company Announcements Web Site.

The Audited Financial Statements will be presented to the meeting for review and discussion and the Company's auditor will be present to answer questions. Consideration of the Audited Financial Statements does not require a resolution.

Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report - as an ordinary resolution

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 contains a Remuneration Report (commencing at page 20 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. The vote on the resolution is advisory only and is not binding on the Directors or the Company. However, 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, Shareholders 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.

The Remuneration Report:

  • (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;

  • (b) sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for certain members of the senior management team; and

  • (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.

RGX AGM NOM EM 7Oct13 final 30Sep13

Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986

Resolution 2 - Election of Ms Jennifer Frances Tobin as a Director of the Company - as an ordinary resolution

Clause 36.1 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution, that number being 9.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for election.

Ms Tobin was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 14 June 2013 following the resignation of Dr Paul Pearson. Ms Tobin, being eligible, offers herself for election as a Director of the Company. Details of her qualifications and experience are set out below.

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 Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Ms Jennifer Frances Tobin – Non-executive Director (appointed on 14 June 2013)

Jennifer Tobin is a partner with the law firm Minter Ellison, having over 20 years' experience in corporate law and mining, oil and gas law. Her specialities are in corporate law (mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, ASX compliance, IPOs and other capital raisings, risk management and general commercial matters) and mining, oil and gas law.

Ms Tobin’s corporate experience includes a broad range of commercial and resources projects, including advising on major projects, international transactions and foreign investment, capital raisings, and acquisition of companies and businesses. She has also been a director of a number of public companies and is well acquainted with corporate governance issues.

In 2013 Jennifer was selected as one of Australia's 'Best Lawyers' for Corporate/Governance and Oil & Gas.

Jennifer holds LL.B and B.A. degrees from the University of Adelaide, and is a member of the AICD, the Corporations Committee of the Business Law Section of the Law Council of Australia, and the SA Branch of the Resources and Energy Law Association (AMPLA).

Resolution 3 – Re-Election of Mr Torey Robert Marshall as a Director of the Company - as an ordinary resolution

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 requires 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.

Clause 36.2 of the Constitution of the Company requires that a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy (see resolution 2 above) shall not be taken into account when determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at that meeting. Therefore Ms Jennifer Tobin may not be taken into account for the purposes of this Resolution.

At the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting the Company has three Directors being the Executive Chairman, Dr Raymond Douglas Shaw, and Non-executive Directors Mr Torey Robert Marshall and Ms Jennifer Frances Tobin. Dr Shaw was re-elected as a Director at the 2012 AGM and since his appointment as Executive Chairman (effectively the Managing Director), is presently not required to be submitted for re-election by rotation.

Consequently Mr Torey Marshall retires by rotation and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director. Details of Mr Marshall’s qualifications and experience are set out below.

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.

RGX AGM NOM EM 7Oct13 final 30Sep13

Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986

Torey Robert Marshall – Non-executive Director (appointed on 17 June 2007)

Mr Marshall has broad based geotechnical experience having been involved in mining, petroleum and geothermal sectors for some ten years. In addition to his directorship in Red Gum, he is the Managing Director of ASX listed Rampart Energy Ltd (ASX: RTD); and a Non-Executive Director of African Power and Coal Pty Ltd.

His initial experience was gained in the mining sector, working on various contract roles as a mineral exploration geologist. From 2002 until 2005 he was a geologist with the Northern Territory Geological Survey, based in Darwin. During that time he was responsible for a wide range of mineral and petroleum related projects and gained good working knowledge of the Northern Territory geology including the Amadeus Basin. From 2005 until 2008 he was a senior explorationist with Great Artesian Oil and Gas Limited. Since that time Mr Marshall has been consulting to both domestic and international companies on a range of aspects from prospect reviews to exploration and development strategies and corporate plays.

Mr Marshall holds a B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. in Geology from the University of South Australia. He is a Chartered Professional Geologist of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and a member of both the Geological Society of Australia and American Association of Petroleum Geologists.

Resolution 4 – Approval of Employee Share and Option Scheme – as an ordinary resolution

The Company does not have an Employee Share and Option Scheme (“ESOS”) at present and the Board now considers that an ESOS should be adopted. Full terms and conditions of the proposed ESOS are attached at Annexure A.

The purpose of the ESOS is to attract, retain and motivate officers and employees of the Company and consultants engaged to provide ongoing management or consulting services for the Company or any subsidiary thereof, by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 essentially provides that a company may not issue securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital, over any 12 month period, without the approval of its shareholders. Approval is being sought by the Company for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) so that any issues of securities under the ESOS are not counted as a reduction for the purpose of the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval. This exception is only available provided that within 3 years before the date of the issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the ESOS as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Under the ESOS, full or part time continuing employees and consultants (or their nominees) are included in the definition of “Eligible Employee”. Directors are not included in the ESOS definition of "Eligible Employee" and accordingly are not eligible to participate in this or any other incentive scheme of the Company, primarily due to the requirement that any securities to be issued to Directors or their associates must first be approved by the Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Details of any securities issued under the ESOS will be published in each Annual Report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued.

The Chairman will be casting undirected proxy votes held by him in favour of this Resolution and the Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all shareholders that they vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 5 - 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 shareholder approval to issue fully paid ordinary shares (“Shares”) equivalent to an additional 10% (the Additional Capacity) of the number of Shares 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.

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.

RGX AGM NOM EM 7Oct13 final 30Sep13

Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986

Shareholders approved the 10% Additional Capacity at the AGM on 29 November 2012 however the facility has not been utilised, and is due to expire on 29 November 2013. Consequently the Directors have resolved to seek shareholder approval to refresh the 10% Additional Capacity for a further 12 month period from the date of this Meeting.

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. The Additional Capacity facility does not permit the issue of options under that facility. At the date of this Notice the Company has on issue 112,468,097 Shares and therefore has the capacity to issue:

  • i. 16,870,215 equity securities (shares or options) under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • ii. 11,246,810 Shares under the existing 7.1A approval which expires on 29 November 2013;

Subject to Shareholder approval being granted under this Resolution 5, the capacity to issue additional Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A will be extended to 30 October 2014. The actual number of Shares that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares 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 Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to renew its ability to issue Shares under the 10% Additional Capacity facility pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 Shares 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 existing quoted shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded in those shares immediately before:

  • the date on which the issue price of the shares is agreed; or

  • the issue date (if the shares 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 shares 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 presently has one class of quoted fully paid ordinary shares, no partially paid shares, one class of quoted options expiring 1 March 2016 exercisable at $0.10, plus various unquoted options. There is the risk that the market price for the Company’s quoted ordinary shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. In addition the Additional Capacity shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for quoted ordinary shares on the issue date. The following table provides several examples of the potential dilution of existing ordinary Shareholders based upon different assumed issue prices. In each example:

  • 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;

  • no existing shareholder participates in the issues;

  • none of the existing options are exercised in the interim; and

  • 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.

Notes:

  • The issued capital has increased by 25% during the period and the VWAP has decreased by 25%. ** By way of further example and as required by Listing Rule 7.3, this calculation assumes that there is effectively double the number of issued ordinary shares, that the VWAP of an Additional Capacity issue will be 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. However 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 Additional Capacity Shares 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 to 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:

  1. 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.

  2. Securities will only be issued for purposes commensurate with the activities of the Company at the sole discretion of the Directors.

  3. Any discount offered to investors will be the minimum possible in the circumstances.

  4. 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.

  5. The effect of the issue on the control of the Company.

Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company obtained an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the AGM held on 29 November 2012 which remains current until 29 November 2013. As at the date of this Notice the Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to that approval.
