Acceptance of renewal of Exploration Licence 4355
Marathon accepted the licence renewal terms and conditions on 7[th] Feb 2011, effective from 22[nd] October 2010 for a period of 16 months. Marathon will conduct approved exploration activities on the highly prospective Mt Gee project. Future exploration activities will focus on increasing the Mt Gee and Armchair resources and test the recently discovered high grade shear systems.
Share Placement and Rights Issue
On 7[th] February 2011, Marathon announced it has raised $5.46m (before expenses) via a placement of 10,920,301 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.50 per share to key institutions and major shareholders. The funds raised will be applied to the next phase of exploration and for working capital purposes. These funds were supplemented on 24[th] March 2011 by $2.045m raised via a one (1) for ten (10) non-renounceable pro-rata issue priced at $0.50 per new Marathon share.
Eligible shareholders of the Company, at an Extraordinary Meeting held on 4[th] April 2011, approved the issue of shares pursuant to the placement in order to refresh the Company’s capacity to issue new capital in the future within the limit prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
New Major Shareholder
On 16[th] February 2011, Mount Kellett Capital Management LP (“Mount Kellett”) advised it had a relevant interest of 19.9% of Marathon’s voting shares. Mount Kellett is a multi-strategy investment firm based in New York which invests in North America, Asia and Europe.
On the same day Talbot Group Holdings Pty Ltd and Talbot Group Investments Pty Ltd notified the ASX that they no longer had a relevant interest in any of Marathon’s voting shares.
Preparation of a DEF for a drilling program
A DEF proposal is in progress. Location of drill holes have been checked to ensure the minimum impact to the environment. Marathon is proposing a drilling exploration program to demonstrate the North, Northeast, East, Southeast and Southwest extensions of the Mt Gee deposit. Subsequent DEFs will be prepared to test other deposits within EL4355.
