Supplementary prospectus

Metro Mining Limited

Important information

This supplementary prospectus (Supplementary Prospectus) is dated 11 November 2016 and is intended to supplement and amend the information contained in the prospectus of Metro Mining Limited ACN 117 763 443 (Metro) dated 28 October 2016 (Prospectus). Unless otherwise indicated, terms defined and used in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Supplementary Prospectus.

This Supplementary Prospectus was lodged with ASIC and ASX on 11 November 2016. Neither ASIC nor the ASX take any responsibility for the contents of this Supplementary Prospectus.

This Supplementary Prospectus must be read together with the Prospectus. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Supplementary Prospectus and the Prospectus, this Supplementary Prospectus will prevail.

The Company has issued both a printed and electronic version of this Supplementary Prospectus and the Prospectus. Electronic versions of both are available at www.metromining.com.au/investor-mediacentre/announcements.

The Prospectus and this Supplementary Prospectus are important and should both be read in their entirety. Please consult you legal, financial or other professional adviser if you do not fully understand the contents of these documents.

This Supplementary Prospectus contains particular changes to the Prospectus. Other than the changes set out below, all other information in the Prospectus remains unchanged.

$\mathbf{1}$ Changes to the number of New Metro Shares to be issued

$1.1$ Summary offer details

The number of Gulf Shares and Gulf Options on issue has changed since the date on which Gulf's Annual Report was lodged with ASIC. These changes have an effect on the number of New Metro Shares which may be issued in connection with the Offer.

The table in section 1.1 of the Prospectus is deleted in full and replaced with the following:

Terms of offer Details
Offer Consideration per Gulf Share \$0.50 cash and one New Metro
Share per Gulf Share
New Metro Shares offered under this Prospectus Up to 55,214,321 $*$
Total number of Metro Shares on issue following the Offer Up to 581,927,349#

Assumes Metro acquires 100% of Gulf, all Gulf Shareholders elect to receive Cash and Scrip Consideration and all Gulf Options on issue at the date of the Offer are exercised and the holders accept the Offer and elect to receive Cash and Scrip Consideration.

$\overline{\mathbf{2}}$ Increased loan to Gulf

On 27 October 2016, Moly announced that it had entered into an agreement with Gulf to increase Moly's commitment under its existing loan agreement from \$1.9 million to \$2.9 million.

Subsequent to the lodgment of the Prospectus on 28 October 2016, Metro determined to match this commitment.

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial position has therefore been updated to reflect the effect of the increased loan to Gulf (on the assumption that it has been fully drawn down) and the increase in the drawdown on the Bridging Loan Facility Agreement. Section 8.3 of the Prospectus has also been amended to reflect these changes.

$2.1$ Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position and notes in section 4.3 of the Prospectus from the subheading 'Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position' is deleted in full and replaced with the following:

Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position of the Merged Group as at 30 June 2016 is set out below.

Scenario 1 has been prepared on the assumption that all Gulf Shareholders who accept the Offer elect to receive the Cash Consideration.

Scenario 2 has been prepared on the assumption that all Gulf Shareholders who accept the Offer elect to receive the Cash and Scrip Consideration.

Each scenario includes a '51%' and a '100%' alternative, which assumes that Metro holds 51% and 100% of all Gulf Shares respectively.

# Prior to adjustments

* After adjustment

Notes:

  • The actual Statement of Financial Position of the Merged Group will be different from the Pro Forma Statement $(a)$ of Financial Position above. Consolidation adjustments that will be necessary to comply with AASB 3 'Business Combinations' have not yet been determined.
  • $(b)$ The consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position has been prepared from the Statements of Financial Position of Metro and Gulf as at 30 June 2016.
  • Adjustments have been made to the 'Combined Company Pro Forma (after adjustment)' columns in respect of $(c)$ the following:
  • $(i)$ Metro raised \$8.9 million through a placement with Greenstone Management (Delaware) II LLC in its capacity as general partner of Greenstone Metro Holdings LP (Greenstone) in the third quarter of 2016. Metro's cash was increased by \$8.3 million after allowing for \$0.6 million in fund raising costs.
  • $(ii)$ Metro acquired a further 17% interest in Gulf in the third quarter of 2016. The cost of the acquisition was \$8.7 million and this was funded through an unsecured loan of \$8.5 million, repayable within 6 months.
  • $(iii)$ Metro has adjusted its cash position and accumulated losses for its expenditures in the third quarter of 2016.
  • $(iv)$ Gulf's cash position and current interest bearing liabilities have been increased by \$2.9 million, reflecting the short term loan from Moly Mines Limited (Moly) (referred to in Moly's announcement to the market dated 22 September 2016).
  • No other adjustment has been made for Gulf post 30 June 2016 in respect of other changes including the $(d)$ following:
  • $(i)$ expenditure and other income post 30 June 2016 has not been accounted for in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position; or
  • $(ii)$ other changes that Metro is not aware of,
  • $(e)$ The cash balance of the Merged Group would be less than the amount stated in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position due to expenditure undertaken post 30 June 2016.
  • $(f)$ The Payables includes an estimate of stamp duty payable to the Queensland Government as well as transaction and other costs expected if the Offer is successful.
  • As set out in section 5.10 of the Offer Booklet and section 5.7 of this Prospectus, stamp duty may be payable $(g)$ and has been included in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position. The stamp duty liability is based on the estimated market value of Gulf's landholdings being \$52,950,568. Please note these values are estimations only. At or around the date of the transaction an independent valuation will be obtained for duty purposes. As the assumption of an AASB 3 'Business Combinations' has been made, the stamp duty has been expensed and is shown in accumulated profit (losses).
  • (h) Goodwill has been calculated based on the number of New Metro Shares issued multiplied by the difference between the value of the Cash Consideration (being \$0.60 per Gulf share) and the value of the Cash and Scrip Consideration (calculated as \$0.62, based on the closing price of Metro shares on the Offer Date, being 28 October 2016).

$2.2$ Bridging Loan Facility Agreement

Subparagraph (b) of section 8.3 of the Prospectus is deleted in full and replaced with the following:

"the repayment of the \$2.9 million loan from Moly to Gulf, which Metro will make available to Gulf upon satisfaction of the Minimum Acceptance Condition; and'

  • $(a)$ the potential benefits to Gulf Shareholders of accepting the Offer;
  • $(b)$ the terms of the Offer;
  • Metro's intentions if it receives acceptances for 90% of Gulf Shares not already held by $(c)$ Metro; and
  • information regarding Gulf. $(d)$
