3 AMENDMENT TO PROSPECTUS

3.1 Clarification of use of funds to be raised under the Entitlement Offer

The Company wishes to provide additional disclosure in relation to the proposed use of funds to be raised pursuant to the Entitlement Offer.

The use of funds table sets out the proposed use of funds in various scenarios depending upon the extent to which (if any) the Underwriter offsets the value of the New Shares issued to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement.

The scenarios considered in the use of funds table are as follows:

  • (a) the Company raises \$2,061,406 in cash pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (i.e. the Entitlement Offer closes under subscribed by \$1 million and \$4,123,448 is offset by the Underwriter Agreement against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement (being 100% of the Underwritten Amount);
  • (b) the Company raises \$3,061,406 in cash pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (i.e. \$4,123,448 is offset by the Underwriter Agreement against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement (being 100% of the Underwritten Amount)).
  • (c) the Company raises \$5,123,130 in cash pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (i.e. \$2,061,724 is offset by the Underwriter Agreement against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement (being 50% of the Underwritten Amount)); and
  • (d) the Company raises \$7,184,854 in cash pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (i.e. no funds are offset by the Underwriter Agreement against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement);

The use of funds table in section 3.1 of the Prospectus is to be deleted and replaced with the table set out below.

Assumptions for Unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position

The Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position has been prepared on the basis that there have been no material movements in the assets and liabilities of the Company between 30 June 2017 and the close of the Entitlement Offer other than the following:

  • *Pro-forma adjustments to reflect net cash in the Company's bank account at 30 November 2017 of \$334,000 resulting from cash receipts from gold sales of \$3.659 million, proceeds of GST of \$2.68 million received (and a corresponding reduction in trade receivables), an increase in non-current borrowings of \$9.027 million, a net increase in current trade creditors of \$743,000 and an increase in non-current trade creditors of \$3.078 million (resulting from the reclassification of \$3.078 million of current trade creditors to non-current trade creditors) for the period and costs incurred by the Company for the period to 30 November 2017 have been made. In summary, the adjustments reflect the net position of the amounts of cash received from gold sales, borrowings and GST refunds for the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 November 2017 of \$15.366 million less the cash costs for that period of \$15.076 million.
  • A repayment of \$5,150,000 was made to Investec in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement. Subject to the receipt of Investec credit approval, the Company expects that \$5,000,000 will be made available to be redrawn by the Company with the repayment dates under the Facility Agreement being effectively delayed for 6 months.

  • Increase in cash of approximately \$32.874 million from the Placement and Entitlement Offer (after costs) (assuming Investmet does not convert any of its outstanding loan pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement).
  • The Company issues up to 152,850,000 New Shares at \$0.20 per Share pursuant to the Placement.
  • The Company issues 35,924,270 New Shares at \$0.20 per Share pursuant to the Entitlement Offer.
  • The Company issued 12,500,000 Shares and 12,500,000 Options to Investmet Limited pursuant to the conversion of \$2.5 million owing by the Company under the Investmet Facility.
  • The Company issued 750,000 New Shares to a Director in lieu of fees of \$150,000 owed to the Director.
  • The Company issued 2,850,000 New Shares to employees in lieu of partial outstanding wages and salaries.
  • The Company has paid trade creditors \$14.484 million out of the funds raised from the Placement.

  • Costs of the Placement and Entitlement Offer of \$1.85 million, consisting of ASIC and ASX fees, legal fees, reimbursable fees incurred by Hawke's Point in connection with the Placement, lead manager and other broker fees and other professional costs associated with the Placement and Entitlement Offer.

  • No Options are exercised.

3.3 Term of Options

The paragraph regarding the expiry date of the New Options (including the Placement Options) in section 6.3 of the Prospectus is to be deleted and replaced with the following:

Each New Option is exercisable within 60 months after the Placement Closing Date (Expiry Date). Any Options not exercised by 5.00pm WST on the Expiry Date will automatically lapse.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company wishes to clarify that:

  • (a) the New Options will have an expiry date of five years after the Placement Closing Date, subject to an accelerated expiry date should certain objective conditions be met; and
  • (b) any New Option not exercised by 5.00pm WST on the Expiry Date will automatically lapse.

3.4 Underwriting Agreement

Paragraph 7.2 of the Prospectus sets out a summary of the underwriting agreement pursuant to which Investmet Limited agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer to the value of \$4,123,448. In particular, the Prospectus provides that:

"The Company and the Underwriter have entered into an off-set arrangement providing for the partial repayment by the Company of sums owing by it to the Underwriter under the Investmet Loan Agreement, by the issue of New Shares to the Underwriter under this Prospectus.

To facilitate the partial repayment of the sums owing to the Underwriter under the Investmet Loan Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite New Shares up to the value of \$4,123,448 (Offset Amount).

The Offset Amount will be deemed to be repaid by the Company to the Underwriter to the extent of the value of the New Shares issued to the Underwriter (such value to be determined by multiplying the number of New Shares issued by the Issue Price) pursuant to its underwriting commitment."

The Company wishes to clarify that, in the event the Underwriter is called upon to underwrite New Shares up to the value of \$4,123,448, the Underwriter may (in its discretion), satisfy its obligation by either:

  • (a) subscribing for the relevant number of shares through the payment of the applicable subscription price in cash; or
  • (b) offsetting the value of the New Shares issued to the Underwriter (such value to be determined by multiplying the number of New Shares issued by the Issue Price) against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement.

The use of funds table in section 3.1 of this Supplementary Prospectus sets out the proposed use of funds in various scenarios depending upon the extent to which (if any) the Underwriter offsets the value of the New Shares issued to the Underwriter against amounts outstanding under the Investmet Loan Agreement.
