3. Background
3.1 Recapitalisation of the Company
On 30 September 2010 the Company announced a capital raising (collectively referred to as the Recapitalisation) consisting of the following:
-
(a) Placement – the issue of up to 125,000,000 Shares at $0.02 per Share. One Option will be granted for every two Shares subscribed for at no further consideration. These Options will be exercisable at $0.05 on or before 31 December 2014 (subject of Resolution 1);
-
(b) Debt for Equity – conversion of up to $2.0 million (revised to approximately $2.1 million) of the debt relating to convertible notes into equity in the Company on the same terms as the Placement (subject of Resolution 3); and
-
(c) 1 for 2 non-renounceable entitlements issue – the Shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for one Share for every 2 held at the record date and one Option for every two Shares subscribed for. Each Share will be offered at an issue price of $0.02 ( Rights Issue ).
The Company has engaged Argonaut Capital Limited to manage the Recapitalisation on a reasonable endeavours basis.
The capital structure of the Company on completion of the Recapitalisation is set out below :
| Shares | Options | Con Notes (Face Value) $ |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Securities before the Recapitalisation |
59,904,791 | 0 | $2,824,900 |
| Maximum number of Securities proposed to issue pursuant to Placement (Resolution 1) |
125,000,000 | 62,500,000 | |
| Maximum number of securities proposed to issue pursuant to conversion of debt to equity (Resolution 3) |
104,975,000 | 52,487,500 | ($2,099,500) |
| Approximate number of securities proposed to offer pursuant to the Rights Issue |
144,952,396 | 72,476,198 | |
| Total | 434,832,187 | 187,463,698 | $725,400 |
3.2 Activities going forward
The Board and management will continue to focus on creating value from the Company’s existing resource assets, as well as pursuing new opportunities in the resources sector.
The Company has identified a number of potential resource projects, and intends to identify other new resource projects over the coming months. As an ongoing process, these projects will then be assessed for their technical, legal and commercial suitability.
5
It should be noted that there can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition of a resource project will be completed or will be successful. The acquisition of new business opportunities (whether completed or not) may also require the payment of monies (as a deposit or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence and prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence.
If any proposed acquisition is not completed, monies already advanced may not be recoverable. Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the resources sector remain.
4. Resolution 1 – Approval of Issue of Securities
4.1 Introduction
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the allotment and issue of the Placement Securities being up to 125,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of $0.02 together with 62,500,000 Options (being 1 Option for every 2 Shares issued). The Options are each exercisable at $0.05, expire 31 December 2014 and have the terms and conditions in Schedule 1.
Under the Placement, the Company proposes to raise up to $2,500,000 by the issue of up to 125,000,000 Shares. The Placement is being used to provide working capital to enable the Company to continue exploration activities and to pursue new opportunities in the resources sector.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 – Shareholder Approval
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Placement Securities. Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue.
Given the issue of the Placement Securities under Resolution 1 will exceed this 15% threshold and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 information regarding the issue of the Placement Shares is provided as follows:
-
(a) the maximum of 125,000,000 Shares and 62,500,000 Options will be issued under the Placement;
-
(b) the Company will issue the Placement Securities progressively but no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow). The Company may issue the Shares on completion of the Placement and delay the issue of the Options until such time as the Company has lodged a prospectus (which will be within 3 months of the date of the Meeting);
6
-
(c) the Shares under the Placement will be issued at an issue price of $0.02. The Shares to be issued are fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) the Options under the Placement will be granted for nil consideration. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.05, expire on 31 December 2014 and have further terms and conditions in Schedule 3;
-
(e) the Shares and Options under the Placement will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties of the Company and the Directors participating in accordance with Resolution 2;
-
(f) the Company will raise up to $2,500,000 from the Placement, which will be used to continue funding exploration activities, pursue new opportunities in the resources sector and to provide for working capital requirements; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5. Resolution 2 – Authorise Directors Participation in Placement
5.1 General
Subject to Resolution 1 being passed, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the Directors and/or their nominees to participate in the issue of the Placement Securities up to a maximum of:
-
(a) 20,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of $0.02; and
-
(b) 10,000,000 Options for no further consideration.
The terms and conditions upon which the Directors will subscribe for the Shares (together with free Options) under the Placement will be the same as other participants.
5.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 because the Directors are related parties of the Company.
Listing Rule 10.11 restricts the Company's ability to issue securities to Directors, unless approval is obtained from Shareholders. The effect of passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue a maximum of 20,000,000 Shares (together with 10,000,000 Options being the 1 Option for every two Shares issued) in total to the Directors during the month after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX) without breaching Listing Rule 10.11 or using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution. However it will not take effect unless Resolution 1 is also passed.
5.3
Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 information regarding the issue of the Placement Shares is provided as follows:
7
-
(a) a maximum of 20,000,000 Shares and 10,000,000 Options will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) under the Placement as follows:
-
(i) Ian Middlemas – 12,500,000 Shares and 6,250,000 Options;

-
(iii) David Cruse – 2,500,000 Shares and 1,250,000 Options;
-
(b) subject to receiving Shareholder approval, the Company will issue the Placement Securities no later than 1 months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow). The Company may issue the Shares on completion of the Placement and delay the issue of the Options until such time as the Company has lodged a prospectus (which will be within 1 month of the date of the Meeting);
-
(c) the Shares under the Placement will be issued at an issue price of $0.02. The Shares to be issued are fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

(d) the Options under the Placement will be granted for nil consideration. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.05, expire on 31 December 2014 and have further terms and conditions in Schedule 3;
-
(e) the Company will raise up to $400,000 from the participation of Directors in the Placement, which will be used to continue funding exploration activities, pursue new opportunities in the resources sector and to provide for working capital requirements; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6. Resolution 3 – Debt for Equity Conversion
6.1 General
The Company currently has on issue 4,346,000 Convertible Notes each with a face value of $0.65 ($2,824,900). Each of the Convertible Notes is currently convertible per Share at the face value.
As part of the Recapitalisation, the Company is offering to the Convertible Note Holders the opportunity to convert all or part of their Convertible Notes to Shares at the same price as the Placement is being conducted. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for this variation of the Convertible Note Terms.
If Convertible Note Holders holding 3,230,000 Convertible Notes do not convert their Convertible Notes, then the Directors shall have the discretion to issue sufficient number of Shares (and Options) under the Top-up Facility on the same terms as the Placement and as would have been issued if all 3,230,000 Convertible Notes had been converted. Funds from the Top-up Facility will be used to repay those Convertible Notes not converted.
8
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed variation of the terms of the Convertible Notes. Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue.
A variation of the terms of Convertible Notes is deemed by the ASX to be issue of securities to which Listing Rule 7.1 applies. Accordingly approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 information regarding the Debt for Equity Conversion and Top-up Facility variation of the Convertible Notes is provided as follows:
-
(a) the Convertible Notes have the terms and conditions in Schedule 3 save that the Convertible Notes will be varied to provide for conversion at $0.02 per Share together with 1 Option for each 2 Shares issued on conversion (currently the Convertible Notes convert at their face value of $0.65 per Share);

Some of the Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1 to 4. In the absence of this Resolution 5, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 1 to 4.
