QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
Period – 1 October 2014 to 31 December 2014
Marathon Resources Limited (ASX:”MTN”) presents its Activities Report for the Quarter ending 31 December 2014.
Exploration Activity and Other Initiatives
During the quarter under review directors and management continued to review projects for an appropriate investment with the potential to add significant value to the Company’s shareholders in the context of an equity markets environment where capital is constrained for modest sized mining and energy companies. The projects under review were in South Australia, other Australian states and overseas. Details of the extensive ongoing assessments were provided in the Review of Operations and Operating Results section of the 2014 Annual Report, released on the ASX announcements platform 29 September 2014.
The directors remained committed to increasing shareholder value through acquisition or merger and continued to vigorously assess available options in line with that strategy.
In October 2014 ARP TriEnergy Pty Ltd (“ TriE ”), a private Australian company, acquired the shareholding of Bentley Capital Ltd (BEL) and TriE remains the largest shareholder in Marathon with 19.99% of Marathon’s issued capital. Mr Justyn Peters, the Chairman of TriE was appointed a director of Marathon on 1[st] December 2014. Mr Peters was invited to join the Board after Mr Chris Ryan was not re-elected as a director at the Company’s AGM on 21[st] November 2014.
Leigh Creek Energy Project (“LCEP”) and Non-Binding Term Sheet
The Company continued to assess underground coal gasification opportunities in South Australia and the LCEP became the focus of our activities due to favourable regulatory requirements, existing infrastructure and energy demands in Eastern Australian states.
The Company was therefore pleased to announce (ASX platform 1[st] December 2014)
- § the appointment of Mr Justyn Peters as a Director of Marathon; and § it had signed a Non-Binding Term Sheet to undertake due diligence investigations, and subject to all relevant approvals, to farm-in on the Leigh Creek Energy Project (“ LCEP ”) owned by TriE ”.
The LCEP, located at Leigh Creek in South Australia is focused on generating significant new energy sources by producing gas supplies from the vast Leigh Creek coal reserves via In-Situ Gasification.
Post Quarter – Binding Term Sheet
The Board considered the LCEP met the chosen criteria of providing low risk and low cost appraisal drilling, a project managed by credible people and an entry point which is fairly priced , and on 7 January 2015 Marathon announced it had signed a Binding Term Sheet to acquire TriE.
This followed additional due diligence on the LCEP with the Marathon Board determining that a faster process was more appropriate for shareholders, in light of rapid operational progress for the LCEP and gas demand in the Eastern Australian states, compared with the proposal outlined in the Non-Binding Term Sheet of 1[st] December 2014.
Documentation is now underway, including an independent expert’s report, in preparation for an EGM at which Marathon shareholders will be asked to approve the acquisition of the issued capital of TriE in return for new Marathon shares as consideration.
Pursuant to the Binding Term Sheet, Marathon has agreed to acquire 100% of TriE in return for issuing 138,311,684 new ordinary shares in Marathon (being 60% of the total expanded capital base).
The proposed acquisition is subject to:
-
Regulatory approvals (ASX, ASIC and South Australian Government); • Marathon shareholder approval; and
-
ARP TriEnergy shareholder approval.
