BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As announced to ASX on 29 May 2017 the Company has agreed a funding package which will see the injection of approximately $3M into the Company at an issue price of $0.005 per share.
The funding is to come from unrelated parties introduced by Mr Yonggang Li, a director of the Company.
As part of the proposed funding arrangements the underwriter to the recent rights issue, Mr Tsang, a director of the Company, has agreed to forgo the majority of his rights to subscribe for shortfall shares under the Underwriting Agreement (refer ASX Announcement 10 May 2017) in favour of this superior funding package.
As at the date of this Notice, a total of $100,000 has already been received, and is the subject of Resolution 1. The balance of the funding is subject to shareholder approval being received for Resolution 2.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES
1.1 General
The Company issued 20,000,000 Shares on 8 June 2017 at an issue price of $0.005 per Share under its Listing Rules 7.1 placement capacity and now seeks, pursuant to Resolution 1 of the Notice, to ratify the allotment and issue of those Shares.
4
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without requiring shareholder approval.
The Company proposes Resolution 1 to ratify a previous issue of Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
1.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.
-
(a) 20,000,000 Shares were allotted and issued by the Company.
-
(b) The issue price per Share was $0.005.
-
(c) The Shares allotted were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR PLACEMENT OF SHARES
2.1 General
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders to place up to 591,400,498 Shares at $0.005 per Share in the capital of the Company. The funds raised will be utilised to actively advance the Company’s exploration projects and for additional working capital purposes.
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing shares representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, without the prior approval of its shareholders (subject to certain exceptions). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 591,400,498 Shares in the Company.
2.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.

-
(c) The Shares will be issued at $0.005.
-
(d) The Shares will be issued to sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company. At the date of this Notice, the names of the allottees are not known.
-
(e) The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(f) Funds raised by the issue of any Shares will be used to actively advance the Company’s exploration projects, provide the ability to seek new opportunities as they present and for additional working capital purposes.
-
(g) It is not known whether any allotments will occur as a single allotment or will occur progressively. However, it would be likely that any issue of Shares will not occur as a single allotment.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
2.3 Directors’ recommendation
The Board believes that the Share placement is beneficial for the Company and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The placement will allow the Company to be well funded in order to advance its projects and seek new opportunities as they present. If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue further securities pursuant to the threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 during the next 12 months.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
