ACTIVITY REVIEW

As previously announced during the Reporting Period, and following consultation with key advisers and other stakeholders, the Board has been reviewing a number of new opportunities, including those outside of the resources sector, as part of its strategy of reinvigorating shareholder value. Currently the Company is in advanced negotiations with parties representing a non-resources sector, value generating and profitable business opportunity.

Pivotal to this was the requirement to obtain sufficient funding, to enable both thorough examination of potential new opportunities and preservation of the Company’s current mining assets. On 10 February 2014 the Company announced that it was negotiating an appropriate funding package for this purpose, through Perth based stockbrokers DJ Carmichael Pty Ltd (“DJ Carmichael”). The details of this package were subsequently announced on 24 February 2014 and 3 March 2014.

A key component of this funding package was a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata rights issue to shareholders, via a Rights Issue Prospectus dated 10 March 2014 ("Prospectus"), to raise up to approximately $0.582 million before the costs of the offer. As described below, the Company successful raised these funds via the Prospectus, which closed after the Reporting Period.

The Prospectus described the Company's mission as currently perceived by the Board as:

To raise sufficient funds to enable it to seek out and evaluate new investment opportunities suitable for a publicly listed company…. The Directors intend to investigate and select potential assets or projects based on one or a combination of the following criteria:

  • 1) the project or asset should be of a sufficient size and development to be capable of generating support in the market place to raise further funds;

  • 2) the project should have the capacity to add value to the Company in the medium term; and

  • 3) the project or asset should have quality management in place or have the ability to attract such people.

Operationally, activities were held to a minimum as the Company concentrated on its key corporate and financial objectives, reviewed its strategy and implemented cost cutting measures. Concurrently, and as outlined in the announcement made on 31 March 2014, the Company instigated a number of cost cutting measures during the Reporting Period, aimed at minimising cash outflows. Non-essential exploration related activities in Chile and Peru were curtailed or suspended, while operational and administrative overheads were reviewed and reduced. The Executive Chairman agreed to suspend key terms of his existing service contract during this period of reduced work load, and receive remuneration in line with the Board’s nonexecutive directors. In addition the Company has reviewed and implemented cost cutting programs for its Peruvian and Chilean administration overheads, including the relocation and

Page 3

Red Gum Resources Limited (ASX : RGX) Appendix 5B – March 2014

consolidation of the Combarbala operations to Santiago and suspension of applications for new concessional areas.

In light of the lack of investor interest in the Company's Majada Project in Chile, and notwithstanding two new mineralisation discoveries during the 2013 drilling program, the Company also decided to put on hold further option payments and enter into discussions to renegotiate the terms of the farmin agreements with the concession holders at Majada. The Company gave notice of its intention to withdraw from the original arrangements, while at the same time it sought to renegotiate terms with the concession holders, in order to minimise further cash payments for the Project until such time as the future direction of the Company is clarified. Under the terms of the farmins, announced in March 2013, the Company has the right to acquire 100% interest in nine claims, comprising the Project, by making staged, six monthly, option payments totalling 679.5 million Chilean pesos (A$ 1.44 million at the then exchange rate) to the owners over a 3 year period. The Company is entitled to withdraw without penalty, at any time during that period. Red Gum’s 100% owned concessions, at Cerro Huancash, Chongos and La Negra, will continue to be maintained in good standing.

Safety and the Environment

During the Reporting Period there were no safety or environmental issues reported as a result of the Company’s activities.

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL

As outlined above much of the Company’s activities during the Reporting Period focused on corporate and financial imperatives. Details of key aspects of these activities are outlined below.

Rights Entitlement

The Company advised on 24 February 2014 it had entered into a mandate with DJ Carmichael to undertake and underwrite a renounceable pro rata entitlement issue (“Entitlement Offer”), on the basis of two (2) new shares for every three (3) shares on issue at an issue price of $0.003 per share, together with one (1) free option for each four (4) new shares issued. The options issued will be exercisable at $0.01, on or before 15 November 2017. Subsequently the Prospectus for the Entitlement Offer was lodged with ASIC on 10 March 2014, to raise up to approximately $0.582 million before the costs of the offer. The Prospectus and Entitlement and Acceptance Form were sent to shareholders on 24 March 2014, and rights trading ended on 31 March 2014.

The Loans were converted into fully paid ordinary shares in Red Gum at the conversion price of $0.003 per share. For each 4 shares issued, Red Gum also issued one free option exercisable at $0.01 per share on or before 15 November 2017.
