ACTIVITY REVIEW

Operationally, the Company’s mining related field activities remained on hold during the Reporting Period. There were no non-essential exploration related activities undertaken, nor new expenditure commitments incurred in either Chile or Peru, other than administration costs to ensure that Red Gum’s 100% owned concessions, at Cerro Huancash, Chongos and La Negra, remain in good standing. No safety or environmental issues were reported.

As announced on 13 February 2015, the Board, together with its advisors, has been reviewing the Company’s future direction, including the appropriateness of retaining its existing mining assets in light of the proposed acquisition of travel assets not proceeding. The Board, having now concluded that these mining assets are unlikely to be relevant to the future business interests of Red Gum, undertook discussions and negotiations with a number of parties for disposal of all, or some, of the Company’s mining assets. The completion of any such rationalisation transactions arising from these negotiations may require both shareholder and ASX approvals.

On 13 February 2015, the Company also announced that the transaction involving acquisition of the three travel entities - Holiday Planet, Motive Travel and Asia Escape, would not proceed. As subsequently announced to the market, the Board and its advisors have been reviewing the future direction of the Company, including future requirements and discussions with third parties involving the introduction of new business opportunities.

Given the need to ensure that the Company is appropriately financed to undertake this task in an acceptable timeframe, and in a way which protects the interests of shareholders, a trading halt was requested on 31 March 2015 as a precursor to the Company announcing that it intended to commence a capital raising. With the assistance of Paterson Securities Limited, the raising involves a placement, convertible loan and fully underwritten rights issue which would provide $1.28 million, before costs.

The Capital Structure of the Company as at 31 March 2015:

Subsequent Events

Securities issued:

On 8 April 2015, 2,800,000 ordinary fully paid shares were issued to sophisticated investors at $0.035 per share raising $98,000.

The Company also announced on 10 April 2015:

  • A Converting Loan for $490,000 that will convert into 14,000,000 shares at $0.035 per share, subject to shareholder approval; and

  • A Non-renounceable Rights Issue to be completed in May 2015 on the basis of 11 shares for every 12 held, at $0.035 per share.

Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")

The Company is to hold an EGM on 21 May 2015 at which Shareholders will be asked to ratify the placement made on 8 April 2015, and to approve conversion of the Converting Loan into circa 14,000,000 shares, subject to rounding.

There have been no other significant events between 1 April 2015 and the date of this Report.

Reconciliation of expenditure

This is the third Quarterly Report for Red Gum Resources Limited for the year ending 30 June 2015.

Exploration and evaluation

The estimated exploration and evaluation expenditure cash flows amounted to $17,000 compared to actual expenditure of $13,000. The variance is due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The exploration and evaluation expenditure is as forecast.

Administration

In the period ending 31 December 2014 transaction and administration costs for the Quarter ending 31 March 2015 had been estimated at $320,000. This compares to actual expenditures during the 31 March 2015 Reporting Period of $221,000; comprising $131,000 of transaction costs and $90,000 for continuing administration costs. The decrease in actual expenditure was due to certain transaction costs not being incurred as a result of the travel group transaction not proceeding, and the Company's success in negotiating more favourable arrangements with service providers. As noted in the Appendix 5B for the previous reporting period, the vast majority of administration and corporate costs were effectively one-off costs associated with that proposed travel group transaction.

Cash at the end of the Quarter

Cash at 31 March 2015 amounted to $300,675.

In April 2015, $98,000 was raised from the issue of 2.8 million ordinary shares, in addition a further $696,513 is expected to be raised in accordance with the Rights Issue Prospectus lodged on 10 April 2015.

The Company also announced a $490,000 Converting Loan on 2 April 2015 that will be converted to shares, subject to shareholder approval to be held at an EGM to be convened on 21 May 2015.

Attached is the Appendix 5B Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 March 2015.

Nature of Interest - Notes

  • a) The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Red Gum Resources (Peru) Pty Ltd holds 100% beneficial interest in the shares in Central Peru Resources (“CPR”), which in turn holds 100% of the four Peruvian Projects.

  • b) In 2012 Red Gum exercised its option to acquire the 100% interest in the La Negra Project which was registered on a 100% basis on 19 July 2012.

  • c) In March 2014 the Company notified each of the individual nine concession holders that it intended to give notice of its intention to withdraw from the Option Agreements entered into in March 2013. That agreement provided that by making staged, six monthly, optional payments totalling 679.5 million Chilean pesos (A$ 1.44 million at the then exchange rate) to the owners over a 3 year period from the date of signature, the Company could earn a 100% interest. After withdrawing from those agreements the Company no longer has any financial obligations concerning the Project and in view of the announced anticipate change in fundamental business activities no longer seeks to pursue this project.
