New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 General

On 10 July 2008, the Company went into administration with debts of around $50 million to various creditors ( Creditors ).

Recapitalisation Deed

In June 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a recapitalisation deed ( Recapitalisation Deed ) with Stirling Resources Limited ( Stirling ), Stirling Gold Pty Limited ( SRE Gold ), MGMC Pty Limited ( MGMC or the Trustee ), Crawley Investments Pty Limited ( Crawley ) and Bryan Hughes as deed administrator of the Group Companies ( Deed Administrator ) pursuant to which it was proposed to recapitalise the Company.

Under the transaction contemplated by the Recapitalisation Deed ( Recapitalisation ):

  • (a) the Company issued 300,000,000 Shares to SRE Gold and 100,000,000 free 3 year $0.05 Options and received a payment from SRE Gold of $15,000,000;

  • (b) the Company issued 35,000,000 Shares to Crawley in satisfaction of the $1,750,000 debt owed by the Company to Crawley ( Crawley Debt );

  • (c) the Group Companies were released from Creditors’ claims as at the commencement of administration and in return those Creditors had reciprocal claims against the following separate creditors’ trusts ( Creditors Trusts ) established under deeds of company arrangement of the Group Companies so that Creditors would receive 100 cents in the dollar:

  • (i) creditors of the Group Companies (other than Mt Ida Gold Pty Limited and Mt Ida Gold Operations Pty Limited), Territory Resources Limited ( Territory ) and Crawley ( Group Trust );

  • (ii) creditors of Mt Ida Gold Pty Limited and Mt Ida Gold Operations Pty Limited ( Mt Ida Trust ) other than Territory; and

  • (iii) Territory ( Territory Trust );

  • (d) ( payments to Creditors Trusts ) the Company agreed to make the following payments to the Creditors’ Trusts:

  • (i) Group Trust: $6,630,392 at completion and 3 equal payments of $3,209,300 within 4, 8 and 12 months from completion;

  • (ii) Mt Ida Trust: $1,201,838 at completion and 2 equal payments of $506,700 within 4 and 8 months from completion; and

  • (iii) Territory Trust:

8

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  - (A) $2,961,000 at completion and the difference between $25,533,281 and the sum of $2,961,000 and any sale proceeds in respect of the Company’s assets; and

  - (B) all amounts due from Minjar Gold Pty Ltd from the sale of Monarch’s share in Minjar Gold Pty Ltd to Golden Stallion Resources Pty Ltd and any proceeds from the sale of the Davyhurst project (if sold) within 24 months from Completion;
  • (e) ( issue to the Trustee ) the Company issued the following Shares to the Creditors' Trusts at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per Share, which were intended to be sold by the Trustee of the relevant Creditors' Trust over 12 months following and the net proceeds distributed amongst Creditors of the relevant Creditors' Trust:

  • (i) 178,206,960 Shares to the Group Trust; and

  • (ii) 30,625,384 Shares to the Mt Ida Trust; and

  • (f) various charges were granted by the Group Companies to the Creditors’ Trusts as security for the Company’s payment obligations under the Recapitalisation Deed.

On 26 February 2010, settlement of the Recapitalisation Deed occurred and the Company came out of administration. However, notwithstanding that settlement occurred, the Company continued to owe the Creditors Trusts approximately $25 million.

In November 2011, DCM and Territory reached agreement and settlement whereby the position of Territory in the Territory Trust and the Shares in the Company held by Territory were both assigned to DCM.

DCM Share Sale Agreement

As at the date of the DCM Share Sale Agreement, the Company still owed the Creditors Trusts, under the Recapitalisation Deed, a total amount of approximately $25 million. Given this, the Company attempted to dispose of its assets in order to repay these debts. Accordingly, after lengthy negotiations, on 18 August 2011, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Carnegie Gold Pty Ltd ( Carnegie ) and Siberia Mining Corporation Pty Ltd ( Siberia ), entered into a conditional agreement with DCM ( DCM Share Sale Agreement ) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 100% of the issued shares in Carnegie and Siberia, who hold (either directly or indirectly) the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold projects, to DCM. Shareholder approval for the DCM Share Sale Agreement was obtained on 30 December 2011.

The DCM Share Sale Agreement has been extended a number of times and remains on foot. A summary of the DCM Share Sale Agreement is set out in the Schedule to this Explanatory Statement.

Swan Restructure Deed

In early 2012, DCM advised the Company it would prefer to sell its position in the DCM Share Sale Agreement although it would maintain and continue to honour its obligations under the DCM Share Sale Agreement. Accordingly, the Company, DCM and the Trustee of the Creditors Trusts subsequently entered into

9

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

negotiations with Investmet regarding a recapitalisation of the Company by Investmet. Details in relation to Investmet are set out in Section 1.5 of this Notice.

On 16 May 2012, the Company, DCM and Investmet entered into a conditional agreement, pursuant to which Investmet would recapitalise the Company. The recapitalisation of the Company was part of larger transaction which involved Investmet recapitalising Stirling and Redbank, each recapitalisation was conditional on the other completing. However, recently the recapitalisation of Stirling was removed from the transaction as a whole. Accordinglythe parties and Stirling entered into an Amended and Restated Restructure Deed which varied the terms of the original restructure deed as a result of Stirling being removed ( Swan Restructure Deed ).

Upon completion of the Swan Restructure Deed, the DCM Share Sale Agreement will be terminated and all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations under the DCM Share Sale Agreement and the Recapitalisation Deed will be discharged. A detailed summary of the material terms of the Swan Restructure Deed is set out in Section 1.2 of this Notice.

As part of the transaction with Investmet, Investmet has agreed to provide the Company with an interim loan of up to approximately $3,000,000 ( Interim Loan ), the purpose of which is to provide the Company with sufficient funds to complete the Swan Restructure Deed ( Interim Loan Agreement ). A detailed summary of the Interim Loan Agreement is set out in Section 1.3.

The Swan Restructure Deed is a part of a larger transaction which also involves the restructure of Redbank Copper Limited ( Redbank ) (by Investmet). In this regard, Investmet has entered into a restructure deed with Redbank and DCM ( RCP Restructure Deed ) pursuant to which Investmet will restructure and recapitalise Redbank. A detailed summary of the material terms of the RCP Restructure Deed is set out in Section 1.4 below.

The Group Trust has also agreed to grant a call option to Investmet over 43,723,382 Shares ( Option Shares ) at a price of 10 cents per share within two years after re-quotation of the Company’s Shares on ASX ( Call Option ).

Completion of the Swan Restructure Deed and each of the Transaction Documents is conditional upon the execution and completion of each of the other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, if the Shareholders of any of Redbank or the Company do not approve the various resolutions being put to the shareholders of each of those companies, it is possible that none of the transactions contemplated in this Notice will proceed. However, the parties to the restructure deeds do have the ability to waive the conditions, and as such it is also possible that the transactions will proceed notwithstanding the failure of certain resolutions to be approved.

If the Swan Restructure Deed does not proceed, the DCM Share Sale Agreement will not be terminated and as such the Company will look to enforce its rights pursuant to that agreement.

A comparison of the Company’s position as a result of completion of the DCM Share Sale Agreement compared with the Swan Restructure Deed is set out below:

1.2 Summary of the Swan Restructure Deed

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Swan Restructure Deed

  • (a) ( Placement ): The Company will undertake a placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise a minimum of $10 million and up to a maximum of $17.5 million (the final $2.5 million of which may only be issued with Stirling’s prior consent) ( Placement ) (Resolution 1) which, subject to the passing of Resolution 8, will be underwritten by Investmet to $7.5 million. The terms of the underwriting have not yet been agreed by the parties, however they will be on ordinary commercial terms for services of this kind and will be fully disclosed in due course. These funds will be used by the Company for the purposes set out in Section 2.2(f).

  • (b) ( Payments ): Investmet will make the following payments:

  • (i) $10,144,240 to the Trustee of the Group Trust in consideration for the Trustee transferring 134,483,578 Shares to Investmet and releasing the Company (and its subsidiaries) from all claims and discharging security all it has over the Company (and its subsidiaries);

  • (ii) $6.7 million to the Trustee of the Territory Trust in consideration for DCM transferring 39,849,657 Shares to Investmet and releasing the Company (and its subsidiaries) from all claims and discharging all security it has over the Company (and its subsidiaries);

11

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  • (iii) $1.23 million to DCM in consideration of DCM discharging, or procuring that the Trustee of the Mt Ida Trust discharges, all security (and claims) held by the Trustee of the Mt Ida Trust in or over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its assets; and

  • (iv) $2.589 million to Stirling in consideration of Stirling assigning $2.589 million of debt and transferring 88,053,475 Shares to Investmet.

As a result of Investmet making the above payments and procuring the release of all claims and security over the Company in respect of those debts, the Company will owe $20,663,240 to Investmet ( Investmet Debt ). Furthermore, the Company will grant a first ranking security interest to Investmet to secure the Investmet Debt.

As a result of the above, all claims against the Company and each of its subsidiaries by the Creditors Trusts and DCM will be released and all security held by the Trustee of the Creditors Trusts in or over the Company, its subsidiaries and its assets will be discharged and new security will be granted in favour of Investmet to secure the Investmet Debt.

Under the Swan Restructure Deed, the Company has also agreed to:

  • (i) repay its debt to DCM of $4,200,000 out of funds raised under the Placement as soon as practicable after settlement of the Placement; and

  • (ii) convert the entire Investmet Debt other than $10 million to Shares at completion of the Swan Restructure Deed. Investmet may also elect to convert up to a further $5,000,000 of the Investmet Debt (leaving the Company owing Investmet the sum of $5,000,000) to Shares at completion of the Swan Restructure Deed. If Investmet elects to do so, Stirling will be entitled to convert a proportionate amount of the $5,000,000 debt owed to Stirling ( Stirling Debt ) (ie. If Investmet converts $5,000,000, Stirling may convert $2,500,000). In the event that the Company does not have enough unallocated funds upon completion of the Placement and conversion of the Investmet Debt (and part of the Stirling Debt) in order to meet the listing requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, Stirling may convert such amount of the outstanding Stirling Debt as would result in the Company being able to meet the listing requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (c) ( Warden’s Court Hearing ): The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Siberia, is a party to a hearing before the Perth Warden regarding an application for exemption from the expenditure conditions under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) in respect of Mining Leases 16/262, 16/263, and 16/264 ( Exemption Tenements ) for the year ending on 11 March 2011 ( Exemption Application ). In the event that the Warden refuses to grant the Exemption Application to Siberia (and consistent with the general policy of the Department of Mines and Petroleum) it is likely that the Warden will commence proceedings for the forfeiture of the Exemption Tenements.

12

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

In the event the Exemption Application is refused, the Company has agreed to allot and issue up to a further 37,500,000 Shares to Investmet for no consideration. Investmet has advised that its intention is to transfer these Shares to those parties taking up Shares under the Placement to reimburse them for the forfeiture of the Exemption Tenements.

1.5 Investmet Limited

Investmet is an unlisted public company managed by experienced industry professionals and supported by private high net worth investors (including its directors and management).

Investmet was created to pursue a variety of investment opportunities in mineral resource projects with strong future demand growth and to incubate, develop and enhance the value of these investments through financial, technical and corporate support.

Investmet is managed by executive director Michael Fotios who is a Geologist specialising in economic and structural geology with extensive experience in exploration throughout Australia for gold, base metals, tantalum, tin and nickel and taking projects from exploration to feasibility.

1.6 Strategy

The strategic focus of the Company will be on the drilling up of the current resources and reserves at Davyhurst, targeting a return to production as soon as practicable.

The initial tasks will therefore be on the completion of the current evaluation of the tenement assets. This will determine the exploration program required in order to firm up and expand the current estimated resource base. This exploration program will include some initial auger drilling programs across a number of tenements, that have already commenced, and extend to step out drilling of known resources and previously mined open pits.

The methodical extension of the resource base, necessary to back up a robust production plan, will also include the assessment and possible acquisition of known resources in proximity of the Davyhurst plant.

15

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

In summary the strategy will aim to firm up the current resource base, conduct exploration drilling for organic discoveries and target identified resources for acquisition before bringing the Davyhurst plant back into operation as soon as practicable.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – PLACEMENT – SHARES

2.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 875,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to raise up to $17.5 million pursuant to the Placement.

Under the Swan Restructure Deed, the Company is required to raise a minimum of $10,000,000. Pursuant to Resolution 1, Shareholder approval is sought to raise up to a larger amount, being a total of $17,500,000 (provided that the final $2.5 million may only be raised with Stirling’s prior consent). Accordingly, it is possible that the Company could raise between $10,000,000 and $17,500,000.

Furthermore, under the Swan Restructure Deed, $7,500,000 is to be underwritten by Investmet and Azure Capital will act as lead manager in respect of the full amount of the Placement. However, Investmet will not underwrite the Placement in the event that Shareholder approval is not obtained pursuant to Resolution 8.

The fees to be paid to Investmet and Azure Capital for these services have not yet been agreed. However, they will be on ordinary commercial terms for services of this kind and will be fully disclosed in due course. Neither Investment nor Azure Capital is currently a related party of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 857,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.02 per Share;

  • (d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to sophisticated and professional investors (as those terms are defined in section 708 of the Corporations Act) who are clients of Azure Capital, the persons the subject of Resolutions 2 – 7 (subject to those Resolutions being passed) and,

16

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

subject to Resolution 8 being passed, Investmet (or their nominees). None of these subscribers, other than the persons the subject of Resolutions 2 – 7, will be related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement as follows:

Proceeds of the Offer Expenditure ($)

projects
3,602,000 5,902,000 8,402,000

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 – 7 – PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT BY RELATED PARTIES

3.1 General

Pursuant to Resolution 1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 875,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share pursuant to the Placement.

The Directors of the Company wish to participate in the Placement. Accordingly, Resolutions 2 – 7 seek Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of Shares to the following parties (or their nominee/s) arising from their participation in the Placement ( Participation ):

  • (a) Dr Gerhard Kornfeld – a Director (Resolution 2);

  • (b) Mr Martin Depisch – a Director (Resolution 3);

  • (c) Mr Thomas Styblo – a Director (Resolution 4);

  • (d) Mr Damian Delaney – a Director (Resolution 5);

  • (e) Mr Peter Farris – a Director (Resolution 6); and

  • (f) Mr Michael Fotios – a Director (Resolution 7).

17

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

Each of the above persons/entities is collectively referred to as the Related Parties .

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties by virtue of being Directors.

It is the view of the Directors (other than the relevant Director the subject of each resolution) that the exception in Section 210 of the Corporations Act applies in the current circumstances because the Shares will be issued to the Related Parties on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E is not being sought for the issue of Shares to the Related Parties.

However, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

3.3 Shareholder Approval (Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to the Related Parties:

  • (a) the related parties are the Related Parties, as set out in Section 3.1, and they are related parties for the reasons set out in Section 3.1;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to each of the Related Parties (or their nominee/s) is as follows;

  • (i) Dr Gerhard Kornfeld – up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (ii) Mr Martin Depisch – up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (iii) Mr Thomas Styblo – up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (iv) Mr Damian Delaney – up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (v) Mr Peter Farris – up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares; and

18

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  • (vi) Mr Michael Fotios – up to a maximum of 875,000,000 Shares;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominee/s) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.02 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 2.2(f) of this Explanatory Statement.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL FOR INVESTMET LIMITED TO INCREASE RELEVANT INTEREST

4.1 Background

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act in order for:

  • (a) Investmet Limited (or its nominee/s) to underwrite up to 375,000,000 Shares of the Placement – described further in Section 1.2(a);

  • (b) the Company to allot and issue up to 875,000,000 Shares to Investmet Limited (or its nominee/s). The purpose of this approval is to enable Investmet to participate in the Placement to the full extent of the Placement;

  • (c) Investmet Limited (or its nominee/s) to acquire up to 262,386,710 Shares in accordance with the terms of the Swan Restructure Deed – described further in Section 1.2(b);

The proposed capital structure of the Company following completion of the transactions contemplated in this Notice is as follows (the table shows two scenarios, the Minimum Subscription column assumes that only the minimum subscription of $10,000,000 is raised under the Placement whilst the Full Subscription column assumes that the full subscription of $17,500,000 is raised under the Placement):

The Company has granted a total of 115,000,000 options and this number will not change.

4.3 Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act

Section 606 of the Corporations Act – Statutory Prohibition

Pursuant to Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, a person must not acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the person and because of the transaction, that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increases:

20

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  • (a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or

  • (b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

Voting Power

The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with Section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person’s voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest.

Associates

For the purposes of determining voting power under the Corporations Act, a person ( second person ) is an “associate” of the other person ( first person ) if:

  • (a) the first person is a body corporate and the second person is:

  • (i) a body corporate the first person controls;

  • (ii) a body corporate that controls the first person; or

  • (iii) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the person;

  • (b) the second person has entered or proposed to enter into a relevant agreement with the first person for the purpose of controlling or influencing the composition of the company’s board or the conduct of the company’s affairs; or

  • (c) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposed to act, in concert in relation to the company’s affairs.

Investmet does not have any associates with any additional relevant interests in the Company’s Shares.

Relevant Interests

Section 608(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities if they:

  • (a) are the holder of the securities;

  • (b) have the power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or

  • (c) have power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities.

It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise one of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power.

In addition, Section 608(3) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities that any of the following has:

  • (a) a body corporate in which the person’s voting power is above 20%;

  • (b) a body corporate that the person controls.

21

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

Mr Michael Fotios currently holds in excess of 20% of Investmet. Accordingly, Mr Fotios will obtain a relevant interest in the Shares in which Investmet has a relevant interest in.

Investmet does not currently have a relevant interest in any Shares in the capital of the Company.

4.4

Item 7 of Section 611

Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the prohibition described in Section 4.3 above, whereby a person may acquire a relevant interest in a company’s voting shares with shareholder approval.

On the assumption that Investmet subscribes for a maximum of 375,000,000 Shares in the Placement pursuant to its underwriting obligations and Mr Michael Fotios does not subscribe for any Shares in the Placement, Investmet and Mr Fotios may potentially acquire the following relevant interest in Shares:

Note:

  • 1 This assumes that the minimum amount raised is $10 million and Investmet takes up $7.5 million worth of Shares (as is Investmet’s minimum underwriting commitment).

  • 2 This assumes that the Interim Loan is advanced after completion of the Placement and that the full amount of the Interim Loan ($3,000,000) is converted into Shares (outside of the Placement).

  • 3 This assumes that Investmet elects to convert all but $5,000,000 of the Investmet Debt.

  • 4 As set out in Section 1.2, in the event that Investmet elects to convert an additional $5,000,000 worth of debt, Stirling may elect to convert a proportionate amount. In this example, we have assumed that Stirling elects to convert the maximum amount of debt possible (being $2,500,000 or 125,000,000 Shares).

22

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

In the event that Mr Fotios subscribes for Shares in the Placement pursuant to Resolution 7, the number of Shares that Investmet would be required to take up under the Placement pursuant to its underwriting obligations would be reduced to nil. Accordingly, in that case, both Investmet’s and Mr Fotios’ voting power would remain at a maximum of 74.60%. However, pursuant to Resolution 7, Mr Fotios has the ability to subscribe for up to the full amount of the Placement. In the event that Investmet subscribes for the full 875,000,000 Shares in the Placement, then both Investmet’s and Mr Fotios’ voting power could increase to 83.11%.

On the assumption that Investmet subscribes for all of the Shares in the Placement (i.e. 875,000,000 Shares), Investmet and Mr Fotios may potentially acquire the following relevant interest in Shares:

  • 2 This assumes that Investmet elects to convert all but $5,000,000 of the Investmet Debt.

  • 3 As set out in Section 1.2, in the event that Investmet elects to convert an additional $5,000,000 worth of debt, Stirling may elect to convert a proportionate amount.

4.5 Specific Information Required by Section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74

Investmet Limited

Investmet is a well funded unlisted public company managed by experienced industry professionals and supported by private high net worth investors (including its directors and management). It was created to pursue a variety of investment opportunities in resource projects with strong future demand growth and to incubate, develop and enhance the value of these investments through financial, technical and corporate support.

Investmet is managed by Executive Chairman Michael Fotios, who is a geologist specialising in economic and structural geology, with extensive experience in exploration throughout Australia and overseas.

In the last three years Investmet has assisted and taken strategic positions in, as well as agreed strategic funding proposals with, several ASX listed resource companies, including Northern Star Resources Ltd, Pegasus Metals Limited, Target Energy Limited, Genesis Minerals Limited, General Mining Corporation Limited and Horseshoe Metals Limited.

Investmet has advised it intends to recapitalize the Company and provide sufficient funding to complete a review into recommencement of operations at the Carnegie and Mt Ida gold projects, including amongst other items thorough geological and economic reviews of resources, project data, exploration activities as required, and mine planning. Further details on the strategy for Swan are set out in Section 1.6.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement, the Company understands that Investmet and its associates:

  • (a) have no intention of making any significant changes to the business of the Company;

  • (b) have no intention of injecting further capital into the Company;

  • (c) have no intention of making changes regarding the future employment of the present employees of the Company;

  • (d)

  • do not intend to redeploy any fixed assets of the Company; and

  • (e) do not intend to transfer any property between the Company and Investmet.

These intentions are based on information concerning the Company, its business and the business environment which is known to Investmet at the date of this document.

Final decisions regarding these matters will only be made by Investmet in light of material information and circumstances at the relevant time. Accordingly, the statements set out above are statements of current intention only, which may change as new information becomes available to it or as circumstances change.

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

Relevant Interests and Voting Power

As at the date of this Notice, Investmet does not have a relevant interest in any Shares of the Company . In the event that Resolutions 1 and 8 contained in this Notice are passed and implemented, Investmet’s relevant interest and voting power in the Company may potentially increase to a maximum of 79.28%.

However, it is unlikely that no investors will take up Shares under the Placement. To the extent that other investors subscribe for Shares under the Placement (including the Related Parties the subject of Resolutions 2 – 7), Investmet’s voting power would be reduced accordingly.

For example, Investmet’s voting power could be as low as 41.08%, assuming that:

  • (a) the Placement is fully subscribed by parties other than Investmet (therefore Investmet will be under no obligation to subscribe for Shares pursuant to its underwriting arrangements with the Company);

  • (b) the Call Option is not exercised;

  • (c) Swan converts the Interim Loan and the Investmet Debt to Shares (but not the additional $5,000,000 worth of debt as set out in Section 1.2);

  • (d) Investmet acquires 262,386,710 Shares under the Swan Restructure Deed;

  • (e) the Exemption Application is granted (and therefore the additional 37,500,000 Shares are not issued to Investmet).

Particulars of proposed acquisition and timing

The Shares to be issued and transferred to Investmet are the subject of Resolution 8. The particulars and timing for the issue and transfer of those Shares are outlined in Sections 1.2 and 1.4.

Reason for the proposed allotment and issue/transfer

The reasons for the proposed allotment and issue/transfer of the Shares to Investmet are set out in Section 4.1.

Advantages of the transactions

  • The Company will have adequate cash reserves to complete its stated objectives after paying out current accounts payable and current provisions.

  • Debts of approximately $20,663,240 owing to the Group Trust, Territory Trust, Mt Ida Trust, DCM and Stirling are to be assigned to Investmet meaning that there is incentive for Investmet to have the Company become a commercial success.

  • The proposal by Investmet may result in the Company’s projects being developed to their full potential.

  • Having Investmet as a significant shareholder may be an incentive to Investmet and other investors to invest in the Company going forward.

Disadvantages of the transactions

25

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  • Existing Shareholders will be substantially diluted as a result of the issue of Shares pursuant to the proposal.

  • The value of the Shares may be in excess of the Placement price of 2 cents per Share, particularly if the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects can increase their reserves and resources and move towards development.

  • The Company will have substantial debt to Investmet with a security over all of its assets and undertakings in favour of Investmet.

Directors Interests

Other than Mr Michael Fotios, Mr Peter Farris and Mr Damian Delaney, the current Directors of the Company do not have any interest in the outcome of Resolution 8. Mr Fotios and Mr Farris are both directors and shareholders of Investmet, while Mr Delaney is a minority shareholder in Investmet, and as such they all have an interest in the Resolution.

Directors Recommendation

The Directors of the Company, other than Mr Fotios, Mr Farris and Mr Delaney, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 on the basis that the Swan Restructure Deed is likely to result in the Company’s Shares being readmitted to quotation on the Official List of the ASX, the Company’s liabilities and obligations to the Creditors Trusts and DCM will be discharged and the Company will have sufficient capital moving forward to effectively explore its assets.

Independent Expert’s Report

The Independent Expert’s Report assesses whether the acquisition of Shares outlined in Resolution 8 is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders who are not associated with Investmet.

The Independent Expert’s Report also contains an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed acquisition the subject of Resolution 8. This assessment is designed to assist all Shareholders in reaching their voting decision.

The Independent Expert has provided the Independent Expert’s Report and has provided an opinion that, notwithstanding a technical value per Share in excess of 2 cents each and taking into account the precarious financial position of the Company, the large debt levels and the factors in sections 4 – 6 of the Independent Expert’s Report, it believes the proposal as outlined in Resolution 8 is, on balance, fair and reasonable to the Shareholders of the Company not associated with Investmet. It is recommended that all Shareholders read the Independent Expert’s Report in full.

The Independent Expert’s Report is enclosed with this Notice of Meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO GRANT SECURITY TO INVESTMET LIMITED

5.1 Background

As set out in Section 1.2(b), Investmet is required to pay certain amounts to the Trustee, DCM and Stirling in consideration for the acquisition of Shares in the Company and the release and discharge of all claims and security over the Company held by those parties (other than Stirling who will retain a debt of up to $5,000,000). As a result:

26

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

  • (a) the Company will owe the equivalent amount to Investmet, being $20,663,240 (although up to approximately $15,663,240 may be converted into Shares);

  • (b) all security held by the Trustee and DCM over the Company will be discharged; and

  • (c) the Company will grant new security to Investmet to secure the Investmet Debt ( New Security ).

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.1

ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a substantial asset from, or dispose of a substantial asset to, inter alia, a related party or a substantial holder (if the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities).

An asset is substantial if its value, or the value of the consideration for it is, or in ASX’s opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1, Investmet will be a substantial holder at the time the New Security is granted to Investmet.

Based on the Company’s Annual Report for the period ending 30 June 2010 (being the last accounts given to ASX), the Company’s total equity interests equated to an amount of $3,761,000. As a result, an asset will be deemed to be ‘substantial’ for the purposes of the Company if its value is at least 5% of this amount, being $188,050. The overall value of the security interest to be granted by the Company in favour of Investmet ($20,663,240) clearly exceeds this amount.

ASX deems the granting of a security interest over an asset to be a disposal of that asset. As a result, the Company will be deemed to be disposing of its assets to Investmet. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 to the grant of a security interest as security over the assets of the Company in favour of Investmet.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.1, accompanying this Notice is an Independent Expert’s Report prepared by Stantons International Securities. The report concludes that the security interest proposed to be granted as security in favour of Investmet is fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders.

The Independent Expert does note however, that if the Company fails to satisfy its repayment requirements under the Investmet Debt, Investmet may obtain the assets for a value which potentially is less than the actual net worth of the assets of Swan.

Please refer to the Independent Expert’s Report of this Notice for further details, and in particular the advantages and disadvantages of the transaction contemplated under this Resolution 9.

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

6. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL FOR CONVERSION OF STIRLING DEBT

6.1 General

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 125,000,000 Shares upon conversion of the Stirling Debt. Details regarding the circumstances in which the Stirling Debt may be converted are set out in Section 1.2(b).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.1 above.

At the date of this Notice, Stirling is not a related party but is a substantial Shareholder of the Company by virtue of holding 179,981,690 Shares (23.8%) in the Company. However, the Company does not consider that Stirling will be a related party or substantial Shareholder of the Company upon completion of the transaction contemplated by the Swan Restructure Deed as:

  • (a) Stirling will be transferring 88,053,475 and a significant number of Shares will be issued to parties other than Stirling as set out in this Notice; and

  • (b) the directors of the Company who are associated with DCM (which controls Stirling) do not control DCM.

As such, Shareholder approval has not been sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Chapter 2E or Section 611 of the Corporations Act.

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares upon conversion of the Stirling Debt during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 125,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the deemed issue price will be $0.02 per Share;

  • (d) the Shares will be allotted and issued to Stirling, who is not a related party of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the Placement as the Shares are being issued on conversion of the Stirling Debt.

28

Notice of Meeting (Clean) 11_12_12 (874160_1)

7. RESOLUTION 11 - SECTION 195 APPROVAL

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered.

It is likely that each of the Directors has a material personal interest in the entry into and effecting of the Swan Restructure Deed as a result of the Swan Restructure Deed being between Swan, DCM and Investmet.

In this regard:

  • (a) Herbert Depisch Privatstiftung ( HDP ) is a trust which owns 100% of HHD Holding GMBH ( HHD ) which in turn holds 86% of DCM. Mr Martin Depisch is a beneficiary of HDP;

  • (b) Mr Depisch is the sole managing director of Bespoken Properties GmBH which has a consultancy agreement with DCM and includes a success fee in the event that the Group Restructure is completed;

  • (c) Dr Kornfeld is the managing director of both HHD and DCM; and

  • (d) Mr Damian Delaney is a consultant to, and minority shareholder in, Investmet;

  • (e) Mr Peter Farris and Mr Michael Fotios are both directors and shareholders of Investmet.

Accordingly, in the absence of this Resolution 11, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at a directors meeting to resolve to enter into the Swan Restructure Deed.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve upon. To avoid doubt, Resolution 11 permits the Directors to enter into and give effect to the Swan Restructure Deed.

Due to the Directors, other than Mr Thomas Styblo, having a material personal interest in the entry into the Swan Restructure Deed, the Directors, other than Mr Thomas Styblo, give no recommendations on how Shareholders should vote on Resolution 11. Mr Styblo recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.

This Explanatory Statement provides information that the Board believes to be material to the Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass Resolution 11. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to Resolution 11.

  • 1.2 On 22 May 2012, the Company announced a restructure of the Company via a Swan Gold Restructure Deed signed between Swan Gold, DECOmetal GmbH (“DCM”) and Investmet that included inter-alia the following transaction (the “Swan Gold Transactions”) (see below for subsequent changes):

  • Swan Gold will undertake a placement (“Swan Gold Placement”) of new Swan Gold shares at a price of 2.0 cents per share (“Swan Gold Placement Shares”) to raise a minimum of $7,500,000 (arranged and to be fully underwritten by Investmet) (minimum of 375,000,000 new shares) (subsequent to the Swan Gold Restructure Deed being signed, the Company has decided to seek shareholder approval to issue

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

up to 1,000,000,000 shares at 2.0 cents each, to raise up to $20,000,000 (now to be $15,000,000 but may be increased to $17,500,000 with the approval of SRE) but only 375,000,000 shares will be underwritten as noted below);

  • DCM will transfer 39,849,657 shares in Swan Gold to Investmet in consideration for a cash payment by Investmet to the Trustee of the Territory Trust of $6,700,000 in satisfaction of all claims by the Territory Trust (the amount owing to the Territory Trust was $13,476,902 but pursuant to an agreement dated 5 October 2011 between the Territory Group of companies and DCM, DCM acquired the debt for $6,700,000 and this is the amount that DCM is seeking to recover under the Swan Gold Restructure Deed);

  • The Group Trustee as trustee for the Group Trust will transfer 134,483,578 shares in Swan Gold to Investmet as consideration for a cash payment by Investmet to the Trustee of the Group Trust of $10,144,240 in satisfaction of all claims by the Group Trust;

  • The Group Trust will grant a call option to Investmet over 43,723,382 shares in Swan Gold at a price of 10 cents per share within 2 years after re-quotation of Swan Gold shares on ASX;

  • The existing charges over the Carnegie Gold assets in favour of the Territory Trust and Group Trust will be discharged and fresh security is to be granted by Swan Gold as required by Investmet;

  • Investmet will advance $1,230,000 to DCM in consideration of DCM discharging the existing charge over the Mt Ida assets. A fresh security is to be granted by Swan Gold as required by Investmet;

  • Part ($5,000,000) of the $7,589,000 loan owing to Stirling Resources Limited (“SRE”) by Swan Gold to the extent of $5,000,000 will be reassigned to DCM or nominee (subsequently, agreement was reached whereby DCM or nominee has the option to have the $5,000,000 debt repaid by converting the $5,000,000 loan to share equity into 250,000,000 shares at 2 cents each on the same terms and conditions as the Swan Gold Placement but the shares must be issued within three months of the shareholders meeting- refer resolution 8 and section 4.4.2 of the ESS) ;

  • DCM will provide funding to Swan Gold, up to the Completion Date (as defined); and

  • In the event that further funding is required by Swan Gold, Investmet will provide funding via a convertible note facility, the basic terms shall be as agreed between the parties. Investmet may lend up to $1,500,000 to Swan Gold and as a result be issued up to a further 75,000,000 shares in Swan Gold at a deemed issue price of 2 cents each (“Funding Shares”). The additional Funding Shares would only be in addition to the up to 375,000,000 shares being underwritten by Investment if Investmet lent the monies after the Swan Gold Placement has been completed. In the event that funds are loaned by Investmet before the completion of the Swan Gold Placement, any advances made to that date would form part of the minimum $7,500,000 Swan Gold Placement).

Also refer below for potential syndicated loan arrangements and appointment of new directors to Swan Gold.

In September 2012, Investmet agreed with DCM that Investment would take over the $4,200,000 debt owing to DCM by Swan Gold as at 31 July 2012 at a cost of $4,200,000 (the debt was $3,950,000 as at 30 June 2012 plus a further advance of $250,000 made by DCM to Swan Gold in July 2012). Agreement was reached that Investmet has the ability, if it so wishes, to convert such debt ($4,200,000) to shares in Swan Gold at 2 cents per share. Refer paragraph 1.7 below.

Due to the ASX insisting on a Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 application being made in relation to Stirling being re-listed on ASX, a new Term Sheet was entered into by DCM and Investmet that altered the above proposed Swan Gold Transactions and the originally proposed Redbank Copper Limited (“Redbank”) Transactions noted below. The amended Restructure Transactions involving Swan Gold are now as follows:

  • DCM in its capacity as the sole beneficiary of the Territory Trust will transfer 39,849,657 shares in Swan Gold and Investmet will acquire the $6,700,000 debt due by Swan Gold to the Territory Trust;

  • The Trustee of the Group Trust will transfer 134,483,578 shares in Swan Gold and Investmet will acquire the $10,144,240 debt due to the Group Trust by Swan Gold;

  • DCM in its capacity as the sole beneficiary of the Mt Ida Trust will transfer NIL shares in Swan Gold and Investmet will acquire the $1,230,000 debt due by Swan Gold to the Mt Ida Trust;

  • Investmet will acquire $2,589,000 of the $7,589,000 debt due by Swan Gold to SRE and SRE will transfer 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold to Investmet;

  • Investmet may convert up to a further $5,000,000 of its debt (acquired as noted above) into share equity at 2 cents per share (up to a further 250,000,000 shares in Swan Gold). If Investmet elects to convert an amount of debt, SRE has the right to convert an amount of debt equal to half the amount of debt that Investmet has elected to convert (a maximum of $2,500,000 at 2 cents per share – 125,000,000 shares in Swan Gold could be issued to SRE);

  • If Investmet does not convert enough cash such as to satisfy any financial conditions on Swan Gold at Completion imposed by the ASX (i.e. $1,000,000 of cash net of liabilities or other number prescribed by ASX), SRE may convert such amount of debt as will entitle Swan Gold to meet the ASX condition; and

  • The minimum subscription from the Swan Gold Placement is to be $10,000,000 (but Investmet is only underwriting to the extent of $7,500,000). The Company may raise $15,000,000 (750,000,000 shares at 2 cents each) but with the approval of SRE may increase the Capital Raising (the Swan Gold Placement) to $17,500,000 (875,000,000 shares).

Thus 262,386,710 shares as noted above in Swan Gold will be transferred to Investmet.

Following Completion, Investmet will convert the following debts owing to it by Swan Gold into 533,162,000 shares at a deemed issue price of 2 cents each (total debts converted $10,663,240);

  • $8,074,240 of the trust debts acquired above ($10,000,000 balance will remain as debt in Swan Gold owing to Investmet); and

  • $2,589,000 debt acquired from SRE as noted above.

The parties acknowledge that the final amount of debt held by Investmet to be converted may be higher subject to the level of additional interim funding provided by Investmet from the date of the Term Sheet It is expected that on Completion, Investmet may be owed approximately $3,000,000 (currently $750,000 as at mid November 2012) and that on Completion up to 150,000,000 shares will be issued to Investmet at 2 cents each to eliminate a temporary debt of up to $3,000,000. The 563,300,000 shares are known as the Debt Conversion Shares and the up to 150,000,000 shares noted above are known as the Funding Shares. The potential additional 250,000,000 shares that may be issued to Investmet are known as the Elective Debt Shares.

Swan Gold will undertake an up to $15,000,000 capital raising by the issue of shares at 2 cents each effective on Completion (750,000,000 shares) of which Investmet will underwrite for $7,500,000 (375,000,000 shares) on normal commercial terms. The

Company may raise $15,000,000 (750,000,000 shares at 2 cents each) but with the approval of SRE may increase the Capital Raising (the Swan Gold Placement) to $17,500,000 (875,000,000 shares). In effect, the potential maximum number of shares under the Swan Gold Placement is up to 875,000,000.

As noted above, a further up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares may be issued to Investmet at 2 cents per share to convert up to $5,000,000 of debt due to Investmet.

After Completion, Swan Gold will pay $4,200,000 of debt owing to DCM from the proceeds of the Swan Gold Capital Raising.

Assuming the 375,000,000 Capital Raising Shares being underwritten by Investmet are taken up by Investmet and an initial 533,162,000 of the Debt Conversion Shares are issued to Investmet and 150,000,000 Funding Shares are issued to Investmet, Investmet’s shareholding post Completion and the minimum Capital Raising (of $10,000,000) will initially be 1,320,548,710 representing approximately 68.54% of the expanded issued capital of Swan Gold (1,926,649,661 shares on issue). This is before the issue of 37,500,000 shares relating to exemption application shares (see below) (Investmet approximately 67.22% after the issue of 37,500,000 exemption application shares). In the event that Investmet converted a further $5,000,000 of debt acquired from other parties as noted above, Investmet would be issued a further up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares in Swan Gold and Investmet’s shareholding could increase to 1,570,548,710 or approximately 72.15% of the expanded issued capital (2,176,649,661 shares on issue) of the Company (assuming the minimum capital raising of $10,000,000) approximately 72.63% if the 37,500,000 exemption application shares are issued and retained by Investmet). Tables 4.4 in the ESS refer to possible shareholding interests of Investmet.

  • 1.3 The recapitalisation and completion of the Transactions relating to Swan Gold are all part of a complete restructure of the Company, SRE (now not going ahead as originally envisaged), Redbank and MZI Resources Limited (formerly called Matilda Zircon Limited) (“MZI”). The Swan Restructure Deed was one of three Restructure Deeds entered into. The other restructure deeds are the Group Restructure Deed entered into between Investmet and DCM and the SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed between SRE, Redbank, Investmet and DCM (dated 16 May 2012) (subsequently revised via the Term Sheet and details noted above and below).

  • 1.4 The original SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed refers to a restructure of SRE and Redbank and this includes SRE buying back from DCM the shares held by DCM in SRE, the consideration for which is:

  • SRE will transfer to DCM or nominee one fully paid share comprising the entire issued capital in its wholly owned subsidiary, Stirling Zircon Pty Ltd (“Stirling Zircon”) (that owns approximately 29.57% of the ASX listed company, MZI as at 20 September 2012);

  • SRE will assign to DCM or nominee $1,000,000 owed to SRE to MZI;

  • SRE will assign to DCM or nominee $5,000,000 owed to SRE by Swan Gold;

  • SRE will assign to DCM or nominee $1,690,000 owed to SRE by Redbank;

  • Any existing security by SRE in the loans to MZI, Swan Gold and Redbank will either be transferred to DCM or nominee or discharged and replaced with the same security in favour of DCM or nominee and any additional security required by DCM or nominee will be granted by the relevant charge pursuant to loan syndicate arrangements;

  • SRE will procure that its wholly owned subsidiary, Stirling Gold Pty Ltd (“Stirling Gold”) transfers 74,348,766 shares in Swan Gold to DCM or nominee;

4

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • SRE will procure that its wholly owned subsidiary, Stirling Copper Pty Ltd (“Stirling Copper”) transfers 39,263,026 shares in Redbank to DCM or nominee;

  • DCM will forgive the Forgiven Debt (refer below) and will release SRE and Stirling Zircon from the obligations to pay the Forgiven Debt. The Forgiven Debt means a liability of $2,600,000 from SRE to DCM plus all accrued and outstanding interest; means a liability of $5,050,000 from SRE to DCM plus all accrued and outstanding interest; and a liability of $10,000,000 plus interest from Stirling Zircon to DCM plus all further accrued and outstanding interest;

  • SRE will transfer $4,000,000 in cash to DCM or nominee after Completion (as defined) of a fundraising to raise funds of up to $7,500,000 where such fundraising will consist of the placement undertaken by SRE at 1 cent per share to sophisticated investors.

  • 1.5 In addition, the SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed proposed the following:

  • SRE will cancel the shares held by DCM in SRE (minimum of 326,000,000 shares held by DCM out of 351,000,000 shares held by DCM (326,000,000 shares) and its associated parties (25,000,000 shares) in SRE);

  • DCM will use its best endeavours to increase the number of shares held by DCM in SRE to be bought back up to a total of 351,000,000 shares in SRE, for no additional cost;

  • Investmet will fully underwrite the above-mentioned SRE and Redbank placements, on terms reasonably acceptable to Investmet, SRE and Redbank respectively;

  • SRE and Redbank agree to appoint Azure Capital Limited (‘Azure”) as lead arranger to the abovementioned placements by SRE and Redbank, on terms reasonably acceptable to SRE and Redbank respectively;

  • All existing share options DCM holds in SRE and Redbank (see above) will be cancelled for nil consideration (the share options expired on 30 June 2012);

  • Investmet and DCM intend to establish syndicated loan arrangements with SRE and/or Redbank and Swan Gold to include general security interests over their respective assets, incorporating a two year moratorium on principal repayments ant at the end of the two year moratorium, the applicable of SRE and Redbank and Swan Gold may elect to repay the debt or require conversion at a price to be agreed between the parties;

  • Prior to Completion, Investmet has the right to appoint two nominees to each of the Boards of SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold however a nominee of DCM will be the chairman of both the SRE and Redbank boards. At Completion, Investmet has the right to appoint a further two nominee directors to the boards of SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold (refer section 2.3 of this report);

  • Redbank will undertake a placement of new Redbank shares at a price of 0.5 cents per share to raise up to $5,000,000 (arranged and underwritten by Investmet) (up to 1 billion new shares). If Redbank does not raise the entire $5,000,000, Redbank will undertake a rights issue to raise the additional amount (Redbank is now to request shareholders to approve an issue of shares to raise up to $10,000,000 at 0.5 cents each;

  • DCM will provide funding to Redbank of up to $400,000 per month, up to the Completion Date of the Transaction, to partly repay the intercompany debt owed by Redbank to SRE, as well as fund ongoing commitments. In the event that further funding is required by SRE or Redbank, DCM and Investmet will negotiate in good faith a facility agreement or other financing arrangements and a security package, which will be determined by Investmet in its absolute discretion;

  • All existing share options DCM holds in Redbank will be cancelled for nil consideration (900,000 share options expired in any event on 30 June 2012).

  • 1.6 The transactions (“the Transactions”) under either the Swan Gold Restructure Deed and the SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed were subject to a number of conditions, including inter-alia;

  • SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals;

  • SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold each having received a copy of any third party consent, or waiver from any third party, required;

  • each of the Transaction Documents (see below) required to effect the restructure and recapitalisation of SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold (“the Restructured Entities”) being executed by each of the relevant parties to those documents on or around the date of the Group Restructure Agreement between DCM and Investmet dated 19 April 2012, other than for the MGMC Pty Ltd (“MGMC”) Trustee Deed Poll which must be executed by the Trustee (MGMC) within 20 business days of the date of the Restructure Deed;

  • the conditions under each Transaction Documents being satisfied or waived in accordance with the relevant Transaction Documents, including the need for any shareholder approval under Section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act 2001 by any of the shareholders of the Restructured Entities;

  • the warranties made by SRE, Redbank and Swan Gold in the various Restructure Deeds being true, accurate and complete at all times up to Completion;

  • termination of the agreement between La Jolla Cove Investors Inc (“La Jolla”) and Redbank dated 4 December 2009 on terms reasonably satisfactory to Investmet;

  • agreements on the terms of the documents relating to loan syndicate arrangements by all parties to those documents other than any third party financier;

  • the Recapitalisation Deed entered into between MGMC (as Trustee), SRE and other parties dated 21 June 2009 (as amended) being terminated with no further liability for any third party to that deed;

  • the Trustee of the Group Trust, Mt Ida Trust and the Territory Trust agree in writing to the transactions involving Swan Gold;

  • the share sale agreement between Swan Gold and DCM dated 18 August 2011 (as varied) being terminated on Completion with no further liability for either party.

The Transaction Documents in the original SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed referred to above means:

  • the SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed;

  • the Group Restructure Deed;

  • the Facility Agreement (as defined) and any document defined as a Transaction Document in that document;

  • the Swan Gold Restructure Deed between Investmet, DCM and Swan Gold;

  • the MGMC Trustee Deed Poll by MCMC Pty Ltd as Trustee of the Group Trust, the Mt Ida Trust and the Territory Trust (as all defined) (all relate to a previous recapitalisation of Swan Gold); and

  • any other document or arrangements effecting the Group Restructure (restructuring and recapitalisation of the Restructured Companies), which Investmet and DCM notifies in writing to the other Parties as being a Transaction Document.

Due to the ASX insisting on a Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 application being made in relation to SRE being re-listed on ASX, a new Term Sheet was entered into by DCM and Investmet that altered above the proposed Swan Gold Transactions and the originally proposed Redbank Transactions noted above. The amended Restructure Transaction involving Swan Gold is noted as above and the amended Redbank Transactions are noted below:

6

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • The rights and obligations of SRE in that document will be of no force and effect;

  • The capital raising to be undertaken by Redbank will be increased up to $10,000,000 (at 0.5 cents per share) (200,000,000 shares) of which $5,000,000 (100,000,000 shares) will be underwritten by Investmet;

  • SRE will procure that Stirling Copper transfers 68,876,665 shares in Redbank to Investmet; At Completion, Investmet will convert $750,000 of debt due by Redbank to Investmet into 150,000,000 ordinary shares in Redbank at 0.05 cents per share. The parties acknowledge that the final amount of debt held by Investmet to be converted may be higher subject to the level of additional interim funding provided by Investmet from the date of the Term Sheet.

  • After Completion, Redbank will pay DCM $3,300,000 and SRE $890,000 (totalling $3,190,000) with the proceeds from the capital raising by Redbank;

  • The debt of $890,000 is to be repaid or converted into ordinary shares (at 0.05 cents each) on Completion at the election of Redbank. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith that the debt will remain after Completion such that the debt is governed by the Loan Syndicate Arrangements.

  • 1.7 Resolution 8, inter-alia seeks shareholder approval to allow Investmet to underwrite up to 375,000,000 shares to the Swan Gold Placement, allow Investment to subscribe for the further 375,000,000 shares over and above the underwriting commitment assuming a capital raising of $15,000,000 (a total of 750,000,000 shares) (and up to a further 500,000,000 shares if the capital raising is increased to $17,500,000 that requires SRE approval - 875,000,000 shares would be issued), allow the acquisition by Investmet of a relevant interest in 39,849,657 existing shares currently owned by DCM (“DCM Sale Shares) and 134,483,578 shares in the Company from the Group Trustee referred to above (“Group Trustee Sale Shares”) (collectively known as the “Sale Shares”) (174,333,235 Sale Shares), allow Investment to acquire 88,053,475 shares in Swan from SRE, allow Investmet to acquire a further 43,723,382 shares in Swan Gold held by the Group Trust at 10 cents per share within 2 years after re-quotation of Swan Gold shares on the ASX (“the Option Shares”); allow the issue of 37,500,000 shares and allow up to 150,000,000 Elective Debt Shares as noted above. The DCM Sale Shares represent approximately 5.36% of the current issued share capital of Swan Gold as at 29 November 2012 and the Group Trustee Sale Shares represent 18.09% of the current issued share capital of Swan Gold as at 29 November 2012. Collectively the Sale Shares represent 23.45% of the current issued share capital of Swan Gold as at 29 November 2012. Furthermore, resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval for Investment to convert debt totalling $8,074,240 that Investmet is to acquire from either DCM or the Group Trust ($10,000,000 will remain), $2,589,000 of debt acquired from SRE and up to $3,000,000 that may be owed by Swan Gold to Investmet as part of the amended Swan Gold Restructure Deed and funding facility. The debts totalling $10,663,240 (excludes the up to $3,000,000 temporary debt financing) are known in this report as the Swan Debts. The proposed conversion price is to be 2 cents per share and thus Investmet will subscribe for a further 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares in Swan Gold.

Once this has occurred and all other shares were issued to Investmet as allowed for under resolution 8 (except the Elective Debt Shares and the Option Shares) (including the 37,500,000 free shares and up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares noted below), Investmet could hold up to 1,358,048,710 shares in Swan Gold, representing approximately 68.98% of the expanded issued capital of Swan Gold (1,964,149,661 shares would be on issue). If the Option Shares were also acquired by Investmet, Investmet’s shareholding in Swan Gold could total up to 1,401,772,092 shares representing approximately 71.37% of the issued share capital of Swan Gold). The percentages may be lower as it is the intention of Investmet that the 37,500,000 free shares as noted below would be assigned to other parties not associated with Investmet. In addition, resolution 8 allows for the issue to Investmet of up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares at 2 cents each if Investmet elects to convert up to $5,000,000 of debt into share equity in Swan Gold.

7

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

In the event that Investmet elected to convert $5,000,000 of debt to share equity in Swan Gold, Investmet’s percentage interest in Swan Gold could increase by up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares to approximately 72.63% (1,608,048,710 shares held by Investmet out of 2,214,149,661 shares on issue) (assuming the minimum subscription of $10,000,000 and the free shares being issued but not held by Investmet). The above percentages assume Investmet only takes up 375,000,000 shares from the Swan Gold Placement and not the full 500,000,000 from the $10,000,000 Capital Raising. Section 4.2 of the ESS refers to possible percentages of Investmet if Investmet took up shares pursuant to the Swan Gold placements (based on 375,000,000 out of 500,000,000 shares and all of the 875,000,000 shares).

An additional 37,500,000 shares in Swan may be issued to Investmet if certain exemption applications are refused as noted below (“the Free Shares”). The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Siberia, is a party to a hearing before the Perth Warden regarding an application for exemption from the expenditure conditions under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) in respect of Mining Leases 16/262, 16/263, and 16/264 (Exemption Tenements) for the year ending on 11 March 2011 (Exemption Application). In the event that the Warden refuses to grant the Exemption Application to Siberia (and consistent with the general policy of the Department of Mines and Petroleum) it is likely that the Warden will commence proceedings for the forfeiture of the Exemption Tenements. In the event the Exemption Application is refused, the Company has agreed to allot and issue a further 37,500,000 shares to Investmet for no consideration. Investmet has advised that its intention is to transfer these shares (37,500,000 Free Shares in total) to those parties taking up shares under the Swan Gold Placement to reimburse them for the likely forfeiture of the Exemption Tenements. Resolution 8 also allows the issue to Investmet of the up to 37,500,000 Free Shares, allows the 174,333,235 Sale Shares to be transferred to Investmet and allows Investmet to acquire 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold from SRE (a total of 299,886,710 shares could be held by Investmet ignoring any shares issued to Investmet pursuant to the underwriting obligation).

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to issue up to 875,000,000 shares in Swan Gold at 2.0 cents per share to Investmet or sophisticated investors to raise up to $17,500,000 (the minimum raised will be $10,000,000 – 500,000,000 shares at 2.0 cents each). Swan Gold will undertake an up to $15,000,000 capital raising by the issue of shares at 2 cents each effective on Completion (750,000,000 shares) of which Investmet will underwrite for $7,500,000 (375,000,000 shares) on normal commercial terms. In effect, the potential maximum number of shares under the Swan Gold Placement is up to 875,000,000 if $17,500,000 is raised. As noted above, a further up to 250,000,000 shares may be issued to Investmet at 2 cents per share to convert up to $5,000,000 of debt due to Investmet.

Resolutions 2 to 6 requests approval to issue up to 50,000,000 shares each to various parties that are deemed Related Parties as noted in section 3 of the ESS attached to the Notice. Resolution 7 allows the issue of up to 875,000,000 shares to Michael Fotios that is deemed to be associated with Investmet.

Resolution 9 refers to the proposal to grant a first ranking security interest (charge) over the assets and undertakings of Swan Gold. ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a substantial asset from, or dispose of a substantial asset to, inter alia, a related party or a substantial holder (if the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities). An asset is substantial if its value, or the value of the consideration for it is, or in ASX’s opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1, Investmet will be a substantial holder at the time the New Security is granted to Investmet. Based on the Company’s Yearly Report for the year ending 30 June 2010 (being

8

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

the last accounts given to ASX), the Company’s total equity interests equated to an amount of $3,761,000. As a result, an asset will be deemed to be ‘substantial’ for the purposes of the Company if its value is at least 5% of this amount, being $188,050. The overall value of the security interest to be granted by the Company in favour of Investmet (may be $28,130,000) clearly exceeds this amount. ASX deems the granting of a security interest over an asset to be a disposal of that asset. As a result, the Company will be deemed to be disposing of its assets to Investmet. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 to the grant of a security interest as security over the assets of the Company in favour of Investmet.

We have been requested to form an opinion as to whether the granting of a charge to Investmet over the assets of the Swan Gold Group is fair and/or reasonable to the shareholders of Swan Gold not associated with Investmet.

Investmet is to act as the underwriter to the Swan Gold Placement to the extent of $7,500,000 (375,000,000 shares) but in the event that it is required to cover a shortfall in full, Investmet could obtain an approximate 65.89% shareholding interest in Swan Gold (assuming the Swan Gold Placement is limited to $10,000,000 and Investmet takes up 375,000,000 of such shares) and could thus obtain a total shareholding interest in Swan Gold of 1,170,548,710 shares (being the 174,333,235 Sale Shares noted above plus a maximum of 375,000,000 shares, 533,162,000 shares on debt conversion and 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold being acquired from SRE) out of 1,776,649,661 shares that would be on issue) in Swan Gold following the above Transactions being consummated (but before the issue of the 150,000,000 Funding Shares). In the event that the 37,500,000 Free Shares noted above were issued to Investmet, Investmet’s potential interest in the issued shares of Swan could increase to 1,208,048,7100 shares or approximately 66.59% (there would be 1,814,149,661 shares on issue). As noted, the 37,500,000 Free Shares, if issued, are proposed to be transferred to investors who take up shares under the Swan Gold Placement.

In the event that a further 150,000,000 Funding Shares were issued to Investmet on conversion of advances (of up to $3,000,000) made by Investmet, the shareholding interest of Investmet could increase to 1,320,548,710 shares (out of 1,926,649,661 shares on issue) representing an approximate 68.54% shareholding interest in Swan Gold. Resolution 7 refers to the approval for Mr Fotios to subscribe for up to 875,000,000 Shares in the Swan Gold Placement (assumes the possibility of an up to $17,500,000 capital raising with the approval of SRE). The above percentages incorporate the Debt Conversion Shares but exclude the Free Shares and the Option Shares noted in paragraph 1.7 above. If the Option Shares were transferred to Investmet, the maximum percentage ownership of Investmet in Swan Gold would approximate 83.10% including the Free Shares being issued to Investmet and approximately 81.65% excluding the Free Shares being owned by Investmet (this assumes that Investmet applies for a total of 875,000,000 shares under the Swan Gold Placement which would require SRE’s approval). Assuming the Swan Gold Placement of $15,000,000, if the Option Shares were transferred to Investmet, the maximum percentage ownership of Investmet in Swan Gold would approximate 80.25% including the Free Shares being issued to Investmet and approximately 78.55% excluding the Free Shares being owned by Investmet. In the event that a further 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares were issued to Investmet and no shares issued to SRE (SRE can elect to issue to convert up to $2,500,000 of debt to shares in Swan Gold), Investmet’s shareholding could increase to approximately 80.48% (and approximately 78.95% if the Free Shares are issued and not kept by Investmet (all percentages assume 150,000,000 Funding Shares are issued to Investmet and the 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares are issued to Investmet and Investmet subscribes for all of the 750,000,000 Swan Placement Shares but excludes the 43,723,382 Option Shares).

Post the placement of 500,000,000 shares to sophisticated investors as noted above (at 2.0 cents per share to raise a minimum gross $10,000,000) and assuming Investmet took up none of the Swan Gold Placement Shares, Investmet would hold an approximate 49.08% shareholding interest in Swan Gold (945,548,710 shares being the 174,333,235 Sale Shares, 88,053,475 shares from the acquisition of $2,589,000 of debt from SRE, 533,162,000 shares from the conversion of $10,633,240 of Swan Debt and the assumes issue of 150,000,000 Funding Shares) and collectively the new investors would have a shareholding interest of approximately 25.95% (500,000,000 shares). As part of the recapitalisation and restructuring of Swan Gold (and Redbank), DCM or nominee is to sell 39,849,657 shares in Swan Gold to Investmet. DCM’s or nominee’s shareholding interest would decrease from 50,256,907 shares (approximately 6.76%) to 10,407,250 shares in Swan Gold representing an approximate 0.54% and the Group Trustees shareholding interest (held by MGMC as Trustee for the Group Trust) would reduce to approximately 2.27% (43,723,382 shares in Swan Gold) after the issue of 500,000,000 Capital Raising Shares and 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares and the 150,000,000 Funding Shares as noted above. Stirling Gold Pty Ltd would own approximately 4.62% (88,928,215 shares). The remaining shareholders (not associated with Investmet, DCM, the Group Trustee, SRE and the new investors) would hold approximately 17.54% of the expanded issued capital of the Company (338,042,104 shares). There would be a total of 1,926,649,661 shares on issue. As noted above, a further 37,500,000 Free Shares may be issued. As noted above, Investmet may also elect to receive a further 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares. Section 4 of the Explanatory Statement attached to the Notice, provides potential shareholding interests of Investment following the approval and consummation of resolutions 1 to 11.

in determining how to vote on resolutions 8 and 9 as outlined in the Notice and the Explanatory Statement.

  • 1.11 In determining the fairness and reasonableness of the Swan Gold proposals with Investmet (to acquire 174,333,235 Sale Shares from existing shareholders, acquiring 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold from SRE, the right to acquire the Option Shares, the potential issue of the 37,500,000 Free Shares, the potential issue of a further 150,000,000 Funding Shares, the issue up to 375,000,000 shares to Investmet, the potential issue of 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares to Investmet and up to a further issue of 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares), we have had regard for the definitions set out by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) in its Regulatory Guide 111, “Content of Expert Reports”. Regulatory Guide 111 states that an opinion as to whether an offer is fair and/or reasonable shall entail a comparison between the offer price and the value that may be attributed to the securities under offer (fairness) and an examination to determine whether there is justification for the offer price on objective grounds after reference to that value (reasonableness). The concept of “fairness” is taken to be the value of the offer price, or the consideration, being equal to or greater than the value of the securities in the above mentioned offer. Furthermore, this comparison should be made assuming 100% ownership of the “target” and irrespective of whether the consideration is scrip or cash. An offer is “reasonable” if it is fair. An offer may also be reasonable, if despite not being ”fair”, there are sufficient grounds for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer. It also states that, where an acquisition of shares by way of an allotment is to be approved by shareholders pursuant to Section 611 (Item 7) of TCA, it is desirable to commission a report by an independent expert stating whether or not the proposal is fair and reasonable, having regards to the proposed allottees and whether a premium for potential control is being paid by the allottees. Although in this case the proposed Swan Gold Placement and the transfer of Sale Shares to Investmet is not a takeover offer, we have considered the general principals noted above to determine our opinions on fairness and reasonableness pertaining to the proposals under resolution 8.

Accordingly, our report relating to the transfer of the Sale Shares and transfer of 88,053,745 shares in Swan Gold from SRE to Investmet (where Investmet could obtain an approximate 35.29% interest in the current share capital of Swan Gold and following the Swan Gold Placement Transaction (say to raise the minimum $10,000,000) and the Debt Conversion Investmet could obtain a relevant interest of approximately 65.89% (and possibly up to approximately 69.14% if the Free Shares and Funding Shares are issued to Investmet and Investment takes up 375,000,000 of the minimum 500,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares) is concerned with the fairness and reasonableness of the proposals with respect to the existing non-associated shareholders of Swan Gold and whether Investmet would be paying a premium for potential control. If the Option Shares were also acquired by Investmet, Investmet’s shareholding in Swan Gold could total up to 1,401,772,092 shares representing approximately 71.37% of the issued share capital of Swan Gold (assuming Investmet took up 375,000,000 shares pursuant to the underwriting commitment and the 37,500,000 Free Shares were not transferred to other parties). If the 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares were also issued, Investmet’s shareholding may approximate 74.60% (1,651,172,092 shares) of the expanded issued capital of Swan Gold assuming the Option Shares and Free Shares were owned by Investmet (2,214,149,661 shares would be on issue).

It is our view that taking into consideration the serious cash flow problems of Swan Gold, that it is appropriate to assess the fairness and/or reasonableness of both the transfer of the Sale Shares to Investmet, the issue of 563,200,000 Debt Conversion Shares on the $10,663,240 debt conversion and the possibility of Investmet taking up 375,000,000 of the Swan Gold Placement Shares, the 37,500,000 Free Shares and the possible up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares collectively (known in this report as the “Swan Gold Transactions”).

  • 1.12 Notwithstanding a technical value per Swan Gold share in excess of 2.0 cents each as noted below, in our opinion taking into account the precarious financial position of the Company and the large debt levels and the factors outlined in sections 4 to 6 of this report, the proposals as outlined in resolution 8 are on balance, fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Swan Gold at the date of this report.

In our opinion, notwithstanding the precarious financial position of the Company and the large debt levels and the factors outlined in sections 4 to 6 of this report, the proposals as outlined in resolution 9 are on balance, fair and reasonable to the nonassociated shareholders of Swan Gold at the date of this report.

The opinions expressed above must be read in conjunction with the more detailed analysis and comments made in this report including the Independent Geologist's Valuation Report (Agricola Valuation Report) on the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects (“Mineral Assets”) of the certain subsidiaries of Swan Gold prepared by Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd (dated 3 October 2012) (“Agricola”) a copy of which is attached as Appendix B to this report. The author of the Agricola Valuation Report is Malcolm Castle.

We are not reporting on the merits or otherwise of any other resolutions outlined in the Notice and Explanatory Statement.

2. Implications of the Proposals

  • 2.1 As at 29 November 2012, there are 743,487,661 fully paid ordinary shares on issue in Swan Gold. The significant fully paid shareholders as disclosed in the Top 20 shareholders list are:
No. of fully paid % of issued
ordinary shares ordinary shares
MGMC Pty Ltd (Group Account) 178,206,960 23.97
Stirling Gold Pty Ltd 176,981,690 23.80
Susan Kiernan 40,000,000 5.38
Territory Gold Pty Ltd 39,849,657 5.36
MGMC (Mt Ida Account) 30,625,384 4.12
465,663,691 62.63
  • 2.2 The top twenty fully paid shareholders as at 16 July 2012 own approximately 76.85% of the current issued capital. On 2 July 2012, 39,849,657 shares in Swan Gold were acquire by DCM from Territory Gold Pty Ltd pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (22,304,629 shares) and a Share Sale Agreement dated 3 May 2012 (17,545,028 shares) at a total cost of $87,332.96 (approximately 0.219 cents per share). DCM’’s relevant interest in Swan Gold shares is thus deemed to be 50,256,907 (it had a deemed beneficial interest in 10,407,250 shares in Swan Gold but not all of these are noted in the share registry in the name of DCM).

  • 2.3 The Board of Directors is expected to change in the near future as a result of the Swan Gold Transactions. The directors as at 23 July 2012 were Keith Vuleta, Allan Brown and Ian Price who resigned as directors on 27 July 2012. Investmet has the right to appoint two nominees to the Board of Swan Gold. On 27 July 2012, Messrs G Kornfield, Martin Depisch (all DCM representatives) and Damian Delaney (Investmet representative) were appointed directors of the Company. On 17 September 2012, Mr Thomas Stylbo (nominated by DCM), Mr Michael Fotios (an Investmet representative) and Mr P Farris (an Investmet representative) were appointed directors of the Company. The DCM representatives may step down as Directors of Swan Gold following completion of the Swan Gold Transactions.

  • 2.4 If shareholders approve all resolutions and the recapitalisation of Swan Gold is completed (with a minimum Swan Gold Placement of 500,000,000 shares), Investmet who is to act as the underwriter to the Swan Gold Placement (to the extent of 375,000,000 shares) but in the event that it is required to cover a shortfall in full to the extent of 375,000,000 shares could obtain an up to approximate 65.89% shareholding interest (1,170,548,710 shares out of 1,776,649,661 shares that would be on issue) in Swan Gold following the above Swan Gold Transactions, excluding the issue of the Free Shares and the Funding Shares being consummated and up to 1,358,048,710 shares (approximately 69.14%) out of 1,964,149,661 that would be on issue following the above Swan Gold Transaction- including the issue of 37,500,000 Free Shares and 150,000,000 Funding Shares). If Investmet only acquires the Sale Shares, the 88,053,475 shares from SRE and is issued 533,162,000 shares on debt conversion and no shares from the Swan Gold Placement, Investmet’s shareholding interest would be 795,548,710 shares or approximately 44.78% of the expanded issued capital of the Company assuming the issue of 500,000,000 shares under the Swan Gold Placement. In the event that Investmet subscribed for all of the Swan Gold Shares up to a maximum of 750,000,000 (assuming a capital raising of $15,000,000), the maximum percentage owned by Investmet could approximate 78.27% of the expanded issued capital of the Company (Investmet could own up to 1,733,048,710 shares, including the Free Shares and the up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares) (up to 2,214,149,661 shares could be on issue). If the 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares were also issued, Investmet’s shareholding could total up to 1,983,048,710 (approximately 80.48%) out of 2,464,149,661 shares on issue under a $15,000,000 Capital Raising) and approximately 65.26% if Investmet only subscribed for 375,000,000 shares instead of the possibility of taking up 750,000,000 shares) and approximately 67.03% if the Option Shares were also acquired by Investmet. This excludes the possible acquisition of the Option Shares as noted in paragraph 1.7 above.

3. Future Directions of Swan Gold

  • 3.1 We have been advised by the directors and management of Swan Gold that:

  • There are no proposals currently contemplated either whereby Swan Gold will acquire any properties or assets from Investmet or sell any properties or assets to Investmet (however Investment may subscribe for up to 875,000,000 shares in Swan Gold via the proposed Swan Gold Placement as noted elsewhere in this report);

  • The composition of the Board will change in the short term as noted above;

  • The Company plans to raise further working capital in the near future as contemplated by the Swan Gold Placement of a minimum of $10,000,000 and a maximum of $17,500,000 ($15,000,000 without the approval of SRE);

  • No dividend policy has been set and it is not proposed to be set until such time as the Company is profitable and has a positive cash flow; and

  • The Company will endeavour to enhance the value of its interests in its existing gold mineral assets.

4. Basis of technical valuation of Swan Gold

  • 4.1 In considering the proposal as outlined in resolution 8 we have sought to determine if the 2.0 cents issue price under the Swan Gold Placement is in excess of the current fair value of the shares in Swan Gold on issue and then conclude whether the proposal is fair and reasonable to the existing non-associated shareholders of Swan Gold (not associated with Investmet).

  • 4.1.1 The proposal pursuant to resolution 8 would be fair to the existing non associated shareholders if the issue price to Investmet is greater than or equal to the implicit value of the shares in Swan Gold currently on issue. Accordingly, we have sought to determine a

13

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

theoretical value that could reasonably be placed on Swan Gold shares for the purposes of this report.

  • 4.1.2 The valuation methodologies we have considered in determining the current technical value of a Swan Gold share are:

  • Capitalised maintainable earnings/discounted cash flow;

  • Takeover bid - the price which an alternative acquirer might be willing to offer;

  • Adjusted net asset backing and windup value; and

  • The market value price of Swan Gold shares.

4.2

Capitalised Maintainable Earnings / Discounted Cash Flows

  • 4.2.1 Swan Gold currently does not have a reliable cash flow or profit history from a business undertaking and therefore this methodology is not appropriate. The Company needs funds to further progress the programmes on its Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects (“Gold Projects”). Currently, Swan Gold does not have sufficient funds (it has a deficiency in working capital) and thus any perceived technical values of the Gold Projects and any other mineral assets of Swan Gold are theoretical as without funds the Gold Projects could not be progressed.

4.3 Takeover Bid

  • 4.3.1 We have been advised by management of Swan Gold that the directors do not believe that there would be any person with an interest in taking over 100% of the Company by way of a formal takeover bid. To our knowledge, there are no current bids in the market place and the directors of Swan Gold and ourselves have formed the view that there is unlikely to be any takeover bids made for Swan Gold in the immediate future. It is noted however that the holding of MGMC as trustee for the Group Trust as at 29 November 2012 is approximately 23.97% and Stirling Gold’s shareholding approximates 23.80%. These may reduce if 174,333,235 Sale Shares are transferred to Investmet and the Swan Gold Placement to the extent of 500,000,000 shares is completed. Investmet’s shareholding could rise to up to approximately 69.14% if Investmet acquired all of the Sale Shares, acquired the 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold from SRE, took up 375,000,000 of the Swan Gold Placement Shares (out of 500,000,000), were issued 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares, were issued 37,500,000 Free Shares and were issued 150,000,000 Funding Shares. In the event that Investmet subscribed for all of the Swan Gold Shares up to a maximum of 875,000,000 (needs SRE approval) the maximum percentage owned by Investmet could approximate 79.43% of the expanded issued capital of the Company (Investmet could own up to 1,858,048,710 shares) (up to 2,339,149,661 shares could be on issue) (this assumes Investmet does not acquire the Options Shares). If the 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares were also issued under a maximum capital raising, Investmet’s shareholding could be as high as approximately 81.42%.

  • 4.4 Net Asset Backing and Wind-Up Value

  • 4.4.1 A summary of the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of Swan Gold as at 30 June 2012 is summarised below before allowing for any subsequent loans from DCM or Investmet along with a pro-forma consolidated unaudited statement of financial position after allowing for the following:

  • the issue of 500,000,000 shares at an issue price of 2.0 cents per share to raise a minimum gross $10,000,000 and the incurring of capital raising costs of approximately $800,000;

14

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • the existing charge over the Carnegie Assets in favour of the Territory Trust and Group Trust are discharged and fresh security granted by Swan Gold to Investmet (no financial affect on the statement of financial position);

  • the transfer of the Sale Shares (174,33,235 shares) in Swan Gold to Investmet and as consideration, Investmet will pay a total of $6,700,000 to the Trustee of the Territory Trust and $10,144,240 to the Trustee of the Group Trust in full satisfaction of debts owing to the Territory Trust and the Group Trust (the amount owing to the Territory Trust was $13,476,902 but pursuant to an agreement dated 5 October 2011 between the Territory Group of companies and DCM, DCM acquired the debt for $6,700,000 and this is the amount that DCM is seeking to recover under the amended Swan Gold Restructure Deed). Thus $6,776,902 of debt owing initially to the Territory Trust will be forgiven and Swan Gold will take up a debt forgiveness income of $6,776,902. Investmet will then convert $8,074,230 of the $18,074,240 debt acquired (includes $1,230,000 acquired from the Mt Ida Trust) into 403,712,000 shares in Swan Gold (part of the 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares);

  • Investmet advancing $1,230,000 to DCM or nominee as consideration of DCM discharging the existing charge (and loan to the Mt Ida Trust) of the Mt Ida assets and a fresh security granted to Investmet;

  • $2,589,000 of a $7,589,000 loan due by Swan Gold to SRE is transferred to Investmet for the consideration of the transfer of 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold and Investmet converts such $2,589,000 of debt to 129,450,000 shares in Swan Gold (forms part of the Debt Conversion Shares) (and repayment moratorium for a period of two years for the balance of the debt owing to SRE of $5,000,000);

  • the receipt of $3,000,000 from Investmet and conversion of $3,000,000 of such debt owing by Swan Gold to Investmet into 150,000,000 shares in Swan Gold and assuming such cash funds received are to meet post 30 June 2012 expenses and pay out 30 June 2102 creditors totalling $622,000;

  • the additional borrowing of $250,000 in July 2012 from DCM and assuming such costs are used to meet costs incurred post 30 June 2012;

  • Swan Gold repaying $4,200,000 of debt owed by Swan Gold to DCM.

Subsequent to 30 June 2012, DCM lent a further 250,000 to Swan in July 2012, so that the principal amount owing to DCM as at 23 November 2012 is $4,200,000 (to be acquired by Investmet as noted above and repaid in cash out of the proceeds of the Swan Gold Placement).

  • 4.4.2 Based on the book values at 30 June 2012 this equates to a value per issued share (743,487,661 shares on issue) of approximately 0.20 cents (ignoring the value, if any, of non-booked tax benefits). Based on the pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position, the net book value totals $26,388,000 or approximately 1.56 cents per issued share (1,685,737,661 shares on issue). In the event that a total gross $15,000,000 is raised from the Swan Gold Placement and allowing for capital raising costs of $1,200,000, the proforma net asset position may approximate $33,048,000 or around 1.61 cents per share (2,041,649,661 shares on issue). The above excludes the possible issue of the 37,500,000 Free Shares.. It also excludes the potential issue of up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares that could be issued to Investmet and the up to 125,000,000 shares to SRE as noted above.

4.5 Market Price of Swan Gold Shares

  • 4.5.1 The Company has been suspended from trading in its shares on ASX since 2008 and thus a market price methodology is not useful. It is noted that based on a book asset backing as at 30 June 2012 of approximately 0.32 cents per share, Investmet would be paying a premium for control to acquire up to 1,000,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares and acquire the Sale Shares and 88,053,475 shares from SRE. As noted above, 39,849,657 shares in Swan Gold were acquired from Territory to DCM in July 2012 at an approximated cost of 0.219 cents each (total consideration was $87,332.96).

4.6 Preferred value of Swan Gold fully paid shares (range) to arrive at fairness conclusion

  • 4.6.1 No detailed review was made by us of the assets and liabilities disclosed in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Swan Group as at 30 June 2012. The primary assets of the Swan Group are the interests in the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects. We, in conjunction with the Company commissioned Agricola author of the Agricola Valuation Report is Malcolm Castle) to value the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Project tenements held by the certain subsidiaries (or their subsidiaries, where applicable) of Swan Gold (Carnegie Gold Pty Ltd (“Carnegie”) and Siberia Mining Corporation Pty Ltd (“SMC”)). SMC owns 100% of the shares in Mt Ida Gold Pty Ltd, Pilbara Metals Pty Ltd, Ida Gold Operations Pty Ltd and Siberia Gold Operations Pty Ltd. Mt Ida Gold Pty Ltd is the owner of 100% of the shares in Mt Ida Gold Operations Pty Ltd that in turn owns the Mt Ida Gold Mine (that is on a care and maintenance). We have been assured, by management of Swan Gold that other than the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Project tenements, they believe the carrying value of all current and non-current assets and liabilities at 30 June 2012 are fair and not materially misstated. The plant and equipment relating to the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects was built many years ago and will need significant renovations and upgrades to allow commercial operations to recommence. The value of the mining plant and equipment relating to Carnegie (approximately $7,761,000) and Mt Ida (approximately $1,016,000) is only worth book value or more on the basis that the plant can be used for gold mining operations. No formal valuation is deemed necessary to be obtained for such plant and equipment as it is not the intention to sell the plant on a non commercial basis and it would be expected that the cash realisable value (scrap value) would be significantly below book values. The plant has not been depreciated since the Swan Group fell into Administration and even after Administration as the plant is on a care and maintenance basis.

The Agricola Valuation Report is attached as Appendix B to this report. We have used and relied on the Independent Valuation Report on the Mineral Assets and have satisfied ourselves that:

  • Agricola is a suitably qualified geological consulting firm and has relevant experience in assessing the merits of mineral projects and preparing mineral asset valuations (also the author of the report, Malcolm Castle is suitably qualified and experienced);

  • Agricola is independent from Swan Gold and Investmet; and

  • Agricola has employed sound and recognised methodologies in the preparation of the Independent Valuation Report.

Agricola indicates that the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Tenements have a value in the range from $34,100,000 to $47,300,000 with a preferred value range of approximately $40,700,000. The valuations attributable to the tenements under plaint (see paragraph 1.7 above) are immaterial (less than the range of $38,000 to $64,000) to the overall range of values noted above.

  • 4.6.2 We note that it is not the present intention of the Directors of Swan Gold and therefore any theoretical value based upon wind up value or even net book value, is just that, theoretical. However, in the absence of Swan Gold entering into the Swan Gold Transactions as noted above or some other commercial proposal to recapitalise the Swan Group, there would be the distinct possibility that the Swan Group would be liquidated. In arriving at our view on the valuation of the Swan Group, we have, inter-alia considered the following factors:

  • The current state of the underlying assets, in particular the phase of exploration of the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects;

  • The lack of cash funds of the Swan Group;

  • The situation is that Swan Group as a parent entity is in a net liability position;

17

  • The ability to produce positive cash flow and profits over a period of time is still uncertain;

  • The Swan Group needs to obtain sufficient working capital to meet minimum exploration commitments;

  • The cash flows of Swan Gold; and

  • The risks associated with commercialisation of the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects.

  • 4.6.3 The value of Swan based on using adjusted book values as at 30 June 2012 (adjusted for the assessed fair value of the Tenements by Agricola) would lie in the range of approximately $14,137,000 to $27,337,000 with a preferred adjusted fair value of $20,737,000. This equates to a value per share of between approximately 1.90 cents and 3.67 cents with a preferred value of around 2.78 cents. However, it should be noted that the Company has a going concern problem and in the event that the Swan Gold Transactions noted above do not proceed or some other commercial reconstruction proposal is not put in place there is the high chance that the Company and its subsidiaries may be placed back into Administration or be liquidated.

  • 4.6.4 Notwithstanding the prospectivity of the Swan Gold Projects in Western Australia, without a significant amount of cash the Company cannot survive and recommence exploration, evaluation and development of the mineral assets. If future exploration and evaluation proves successful and development of the Company’s Gold Projects proceed, then arguably the fair value of a Swan Gold share would be in excess of the 2.0 cents Swan Gold Placement price. The future ultimate value of a Swan Gold share will depend upon, inter alia:

  • the future prospects of its mineral assets;

  • the state of the gold and base metal markets (and prices) in Australia and overseas;

  • the state of Australian and overseas stock markets;

  • the strength of the Board and management and/or who makes up the Board and management;

  • foreign exchange rates;

  • general economic conditions;

  • the liquidity of shares in Swan Gold; and

  • possible ventures and acquisitions entered into by Swan Gold.

Generally, the market is a fair indicator of what a share is worth, however the theoretical technical value based on the underlying value of assets and liabilities may be lower or higher. In the case of Swan Gold, current liquidity is not strong (it is in fact extremely poor) and it is noted that the current cash and receivables as at 30 June 2012 totalled $332,000 whilst trade creditors, accruals and current provisions totalled $766,000 (excludes the loans due to the Group Trust, the Territory Trust and the Mt Ida Trust but includes the $144,240 owing to the Group Trust for a short term advance made in 2012). The cash position is very poor taking into account the debts of the Company and the Company requires an urgent inflow of funds to be able to satisfy the debts owing and/or providing continued funding to develop underlying mining assets. However most of any future proceeds will be needed to pay creditors at 30 June 2012 plus ongoing costs (that may include exploration and development). In effect, SRE and/or DCM (and to a lesser extent, the Group Trust by way of a further funds of $144,240 being paid on behalf of Swan Gold) have been funding the Company over the past 24 months (and longer) and we have been advised that it is unlikely in the near term to be able to raise new equity unless the restructure proposals noted in paragraphs 1.2 to 1.5 above are completed. In the absence of sufficient cash resources, the Company cannot complete the exploration, evaluation and possible development of the Gold Projects, repay the amounts owing to SRE, DCM and the various trusts and meet on going working capital requirements. Under the Swan Gold Restructure Deed, Investmet intends to establish syndicated loan arrangements with Swan Gold (and Redbank) to

18

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

include general security interests over their respective assets, incorporating a two year moratorium on principal repayments ant at the end of the two year moratorium, the applicable of Swan Gold (and Redbank) may elect to repay the debt or require conversion at a price to be agreed between the parties.

5. Premium for Control

  • 5.1 Premium for control for the purposes of this report, has been defined as the difference between the price per share, which a buyer would be prepared to pay to obtain or improve a controlling interest in the Company and the price per share which the same person would be required to pay per share, which does not carry with it control or the ability to improve (increase) control of the Company.

  • 5.2 Under TCA, control may be deemed to occur when a shareholder or group of associated shareholders control more than 20% of the issued capital. As noted above, Investmet’s interest in Swan Gold could increase from nil% to approximately 68.54% if it took up 375,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares (out of 500,000,000 shares), received the 174,333,235 Sale Shares, received the 88,053,475 shares in Swan Gold from SRE and were issued 563,200,000 Debt Conversion Shares and 150,000,000 Funding Shares were issued to Investmet). Under certain circumstances and assuming Capital Raising of $15,000,000, the maximum percentage owned by Investmet could approximate 80.48% of the expanded issued capital of the Company (Investmet could own up to 1,983,048,710 shares) (up to 2,464,149,661 shares could be on issue). If the Option Shares were also acquired by Investmet, Investmet’s shareholding in Swan Gold could further increase. Accordingly, we have addressed whether premiums for control could be paid by Investmet.

  • 5.3 It is noted that the Company has virtually no cash and has a significant deficiency in working capital (deficiency as at 30 June 2012 of around $36,654,000). It is noted that based on a book asset backing as at 30 June 2012 of approximately 0.20 cents per share, Investmet would be paying a premium for control. However, after taking into account the assessed technical fair value of the gold Tenements prepared by Agricola as noted above, the adjusted net asset backing per share approximately lies in the range of 1.90 cents to 3.67 cents with a preferred value of approximately 2.78 cents. Therefore, based on an adjusted book asset backing, Investmet can arguably be considered to be not paying a premium for potential control in relation to the Swan Gold Placement (where Investmet could take up to 375,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares). It is noted that Investmet is to acquire the Sale Shares by paying the Trustee of the Territory Trust $6,700,000 (to assume a debt due by Swan Gold of $13,476,902 as at 30 June 2012 but this debt will be partly forgiven and the amount due will become $6,700,000), paying the Trustee of the Group Trust $10,144,240 (to assume a debt due by Swan Gold of $10,144,240 as at 30 June 2012) and Investmet advancing $1,230,000 to DCM as consideration of DCM discharging the existing charge (and assuming the loan to the Mt Ida Trust) of the Mt Ida assets and a fresh security granted to Investmet. On such a basis, we consider Investmet is not paying a premium for control to acquire the Sale Shares and debt liabilities from the various Trusts (and collectively with the Swan Gold Placement). $8,074,240 of the $18,074,240 debts due to be acquired by Investmet from the various Trusts, along with $2,589,000 of ex SRE debt will be converted into 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares along with debt of up to $3,000,000 owing to Investmet will be converted to up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares at a deemed issue price of 2 cents per share.

  • 5.4 We note that the market has been informed of all of the current projects, joint ventures and farm in/farm out arrangements entered into between Swan Gold and other parties. We also note it is not the present intention of the Directors of Swan gold to liquidate the Company and therefore any theoretical value based upon wind up value or even net book value, is just that, theoretical. The shareholders, existing and future, must acquire shares in Swan Gold based on the market perceptions of what the market considers a Swan Gold share to be

19

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

worth. Work undertaken to date has indicated that the Company’s Gold Projects have potential but more work needs to be undertaken (that cannot occur without a cash injection such as that proposed under the Swan Gold Placement) to prove up additional gold reserves and resources. Preliminary indications are robust and allowing for discount for risk and the fact that no bankable feasibility studies have been completed indicate that that a theoretical value per share may be in excess of the proposed Swan Gold Placement price of 2.0 cents per share.

  • 5.5 The Company will need to raise further substantial capital in the near future to recommence exploration and evaluation of its gold projects that in these economic times may lead to a capital raising at a discount to market. It is not uncommon to have discounts of 20% to 30% and sometimes even more. No discount is being offered under the proposed Swan Gold Placement based on the adjusted net asset backing per share but a significant premium is payable by Investmet based on unadjusted book value per Swan Gold share and the total amount payable by Investmet to Swan Gold and the trustees of the Territory Trust and Group Trust.

  • 5.6 We note that currently Investmet does not have Board control of Swan Gold. As at 29 November 2012, there are three DCM representatives and three Investmet representatives on the Board of Swan Gold. Refer paragraph 2.3 above.

6. Fairness and Reasonableness of the Swan Gold Placement, the Transfer of the Sale Shares to Investmet, the transfer of $2,589,000 of debt from SRE to Investmet and other proposals with Investmet (including Debt Conversions).

  • 6.1 We set out below some of the advantages, disadvantages and other factors pertaining to the proposed Swan Gold Transactions (that includes the Swan Gold Placement, the transfer of the Sale Shares to Investmet, the transfer of $2,589,000 of debt due to SRE to Investmet, the Debt Conversions by Investmet) and the planned issue of a charge over the assets of Swan Gold by Investmet.

Advantages

  • 6.2 By entering into the proposals with Investmet (and SRE and DCM), Swan Gold increases its cash reserves from virtually nil to approximately $5,187,000 and after paying out current accounts payable and current provisions (assuming the Swan Gold Placement of $10,000,000 less capital raising costs). Obtaining access to a significant amount of cash funds in the current environment is difficult and thus the Company and its shareholders should benefit. This should alleviate cash flow concerns in the immediate future. Furthermore, debts totalling approximately $24,613,240 owing to the Group Trust, the Territory Trust and the Mt Ida Trust and DCM as at 30 June 2012 and $7,589,000 due to SRE to Investmet become debts of $10,000,000 owing to Investmet and $5,000,000 owing to SRE after the Debt Conversions. Under the Swan Gold Restructure Deed, DCM and/or Investmet is funding ongoing operations of Swan Gold until Completion. There is an incentive for Investmet to have Swan Gold become a commercial success as Investmet would have debts owing to it of around $10,000,000 (Swan Debts). As noted above, Investmet has the option to convert $5,000,000 of such remaining debt into up to 250,000,000 shares in Swan Gold at 2 cents per share. SRE that will be owed $5,000,000 has the option (if Investmet exercises its option) to convert up to $2,500,000 of its remaining debt into 125,000,000 shares in Swan Gold at 2 cents per share..

  • 6.3 In the event that the capital raising (at least to $10,000,000) via the proposal with Investmet is not completed or the Company cannot raise adequate working capital from other sources, there is the likelihood that the gold projects may continue to be curtailed until such time as new funds are raised. In the current market it is difficult for exploration companies such as Swan Gold to raise equity. It is our understanding that discussions were held with other

20

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

interested parties with a view to raising capital. We have been advised that management has considered that the best proposal put to them were the proposals that is being put to the shareholders in December 2012 or January 2013. In the absence of a significant capital raising as contemplated via the Swan Gold Placement and the restructuring of debt due by the Swan Gold Group, the Company may fall into Administration and even enter into a liquidation mode.

  • 6.4 There is an incentive for Investmet to ensure Swan Gold becomes a viable mineral exploration and development company as Investmet may obtain a significant shareholding interest in Swan Gold. Investmet is taking a risk in investing funds and paying debts of Swan Gold as noted above into Swan Gold as to a large extent, Swan Gold’s future share price (if its shares are re-quoted on ASX) (and the overall future of Swan Gold) may be determined by the exploitation and/or commercial success (or otherwise) of its Gold Projects at Carnegie and Mt Ida. There is a huge incentive for Investmet to make Swan Gold a successful company and have the share price rise considerably. All shareholders would benefit from a rise in the share price.

  • 6.5 The issue price of the Swan Gold Placement shares is 2.0 cents that is at a premium of approximately 525% to the unadjusted net book value of a Swan Gold share as at 30 June 2012. Notwithstanding the potential theoretical value per share based on the preferred independent valuation of the Swan Gold Tenements, the Company is in serious financial trouble and thus using a technical value may not be appropriate. The ultimate value of the gold Tenements (and associated gold plant) on a liquidation basis may well be materially lower (but could be higher). The Company has already been in Administration and the Administrators were unable to sell the Tenements but did enter into arrangements to take the Company out of Administration but the gold assets relating to Carnegie and Mt Ida were retained. Normally, the realisation price on liquidation is lower than the book values.

  • 6.6 Having Investmet as a significant shareholder may be an incentive to Investmet to financially support Swan Gold in future capital raisings although there is no assurance that this will occur. Investmet would be keen to ensure its investment in Swan Gold is successful.

Disadvantages

  • 6.7 The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue initially rises to 1,926,649,661 on completion of the Swan Gold Placement assuming the minimum issue of 500,000,000 shares, the issue of 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares and the issue of up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares). This represents an approximate 159% increase in the ordinary shares of the Company from the shares on issue as at 29 November 2012. This could increase to 1,964,149,661 shares if the Free Shares are required to be issued. In the event that the maximum number of shares are issued under the Swan Gold Placement (875,000,000 shares) and all Free Shares and Funding Shares are issued, the number of shares on issue could be 2,339,149,661. However, with the issue of 875,000,000 shares at 2.0 cents each, the capital injection would raise a gross $17,500,000. If the 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares are issued to Investmet and 125,000,000 shares are issued to SRE, the potential maximum shareholding would be 2,714,149,661.

  • 6.8 An influential shareholding of the Company may be given to Investmet in that it could ultimately have voting control of approximately up to 68.54% of the expanded ordinary issued capital after the successful ratification and implementation of resolutions 1 to 11 and the other transactions contemplated (and assuming no other share issues) (but assuming the minimum capital raising of $10,000,000 and the issue of the 533,162,000 Debt Conversion Shares and 150,000,000 Debt Conversion Shares. Refer paragraph 1.7 for the proposed changes in shareholding in Swan Gold by Investmet, DCM, the Group Trust and SRE. If all shares are issued as noted in this report and Investmet subscribed for all of the 875,000,000

21

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Swan Gold Placement Shares, Investmet’s shareholding in Swan Gold could approximate 79.43% (and approximately 81.42% if the 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares area also issued to Investmet and approximately 83.11% if Investment receives the Option Shares).

  • 6.9 There is always the possibility that the value of the shares may be in excess of the Swan Group Placement price of 2.0 cents per share particularly if the Carnegie and Mt Ida Gold Projects can increase their reserves and resources and move towards development (further funds may need to be raised if the gold projects are to be developed). The un-audited asset backing per share approximates 0.30 cents (preferred value of approximately 2.78 cents if the preferred value ascribed by Agricola was used as noted above) and the adjusted proforma net book asset backing per share may approximate 2.00 cents and lie at between 1.66 cents and 2.34 cents if we used the range of values to the Mining Assets of the Swan Gold Group as ascribed by Agricola (assumes a Swan Gold Capital Raising of $10,000,000 and the other assumptions noted in paragraph 4.4.1). However, shareholders will benefit from first of all having its shares re-quoted on the ASX and having the Company avoid going into some sort of Administration.

Other Factors

  • 6.10 Having a cornerstone investor such as Investmet is also considered to be a cornerstone investor has advantages but it may also limit the opportunity for other parties to bid for all or part of the shares in Swan Gold in the future. However, a takeover bid for the Company cannot be completely ruled out.

  • 6.11 Under the Swan Gold (and SRE and Redbank Restructure Deed, Investmet and/or DCM intend to establish syndicated loan arrangements with Swan Gold (and Redbank)) to include general security interests over their respective assets, incorporating a two year moratorium on principal repayments ant at the end of the two year moratorium, the applicable of Swan Gold (and Redbank) may elect to repay the debt or require conversion at a price to be agreed between the parties.

  • 6.12 There is always the possibility that Investmet may in the future make a takeover bid for the remaining shares in Swan Gold as it could already own up to 69.14% of the issued capital of Swan Gold (and approximately 71.37% if Investmet acquires the 43,723,382 Option Shares) on the basis of the minimum $10,000,000 raised pursuant to the Swan Gold Placement (and up to 83.11% as noted above if Investmet took up all of the 875,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares and all other shares issued or acquired by Investmet as noted in this report).

  • 6.13 The current security over the Carnegie and Mt Ida gold assets taken out by DCM are to be replaced with security charges to Investmet. Investmet is to pay DCM to discharge the existing security over the Mt Ida assets. Swan Gold is potentially disposing of its core assets over which a first fixed and floating charge will be registered. Failure to satisfy the repayment requirements may allow Investmet to gain the assets for a value which potentially is less than the actual net worth of the assets of Swan Gold. The Directors of Swan Gold consider that this is unlikely taking into consideration the potential of the Laverton Gold Project however if cash flows from the Laverton Gold Project do not eventuate in the future there is always the possibility of forfeiture. It is always possible (but not guaranteed) that further share equity funds can be raised to pay out Investmet if required.

  • 6.14 Investmet may also provide further funding, if required, on a secured convertible note basis, the terms of which shall be agreed between Investmet and Swan Gold.

22

==> picture [158 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • 6.15 The Group Trust will grant a call option to Investmet over 43,723,382 Swan Gold shares (the Option Shares) at a price of 10 cents per share within two years after re-quotation of Swan Gold shares on ASX. It cannot be estimated at this stage as to whether the proposed 10 cent per share price potentially payable by Investmet to the Group Trust would be in excess of the market price of a Swan Gold share as traded on ASX at the time of any payment made.

  • 6.16 Part ($2,589,000) of the $7,589,000 loan owing to SRE by Swan Gold to the extent of $5,000,000 will be acquired by Investmet and that the remaining $5,000,000 owing to SRE will become non-current under the terms of the Swan Gold Restructure Deed as amended. However, as noted above, under certain circumstances 50% of such debt may be converted into up to 125,000,000 shares in Swan Gold at 2 cents per share.

  • 6.17 In the event that the Company’s subsidiary’s Exemption Application is refused, 37,500,000 Free Shares will be issued to Investmet (at no additional cost) whilst the issue price of the 500,000,000 Swan Gold Placement Shares is 2 cents each. In effect, if Investmet took up all 375,000,000 of the Swan Gold Placement Shares under its obligations pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, its effective acquisition cost for 412,500,000 shares is reduced to approximately 1.818 cents. It is expected that the Free Shares will be transferred to new investors if Investmet is not required to take up any Shortfall Shares from the Swan Gold Placement.

  • 6.18 Funding Shares issued to Investmet after the completion of the Swan Gold Placement would also be issued at 2.0 cents per share and as noted there may be up to 150,000,000 Funding Shares issued to convert an estimated debt due to Investmet of $3,000,000 at Completion. In addition, up to $5,000,000 of the remaining debt that will be due to Investmet on Completion may be converted to up to 250,000,000 Elective Debt Shares as noted above.

7. Conclusion as to Fairness and Reasonableness

  • 7.1 Notwithstanding a technical value per Swan Gold share in excess of 2.0 cents each as noted below, in our opinion taking into account the precarious financial position of the Company and the large debt levels and the factors outlined in sections 4 to 6 of this report, the proposals as outlined in resolutions 8 are on balance, fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Swan Gold at the date of this report.

  • 7.2 In our opinion, notwithstanding the precarious financial position of the Company and the large debt levels and the factors outlined in sections 4 to 6 of this report, the proposals as outlined in resolution 9 are on balance, fair and reasonable to the nonassociated shareholders of Swan Gold at the date of this report.

8. Sources of Information

  • 8.1 In making our assessment as to whether the proposals under the transfer of the Sale Shares to Investmet as outlined in paragraph 1.2 and the Swan Gold Placement (and possible issue of the Free Shares and Funding Shares post the completion of the Swan Gold Placement) as outlined in paragraph 1.2 and resolution 8 and the proposed Investmet Charge are fair and reasonable, we have reviewed relevant published available information and other unpublished information of the Company that is relevant to the current circumstances. In addition, we have held discussions with the management of Swan Gold about the present and future operations of the Company. Statements and opinions contained in this report are given in good faith but in the preparation of this report, we have relied in part on information provided by the directors and management of Swan Gold.

The Directors Stantons International Securities Level 1, 1 Havelock Street West Perth, WA, 6005

Dear Sirs,

Re: INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF THE MINERAL ASSETS of SWAN GOLD MINING LTD

at CARNEGIE and MT IDA PROJECTS In WESTERN AUSTRALIA

I have been commissioned by the Directors of Stantons International Securities (“Stantons” or the “Company”) to provide a Mineral Asset Valuation Report (“Report”) of the Carnegie, Siberia and Mt Ida Projects in Western Australia. This report serves to comment on the geological setting and exploration results on the properties and presents a technical and market valuation for the exploration assets based on the information in this Report.

The present status of the tenements listed in this report is based on information provided by the Company and is set out in the Tenement Schedule. The Report has been prepared on the assumption that the tenements are lawfully accessible for evaluation. Details in respect to the legal status of the tenements have not been independently verified by me.

DECLARATIONS

Relevant codes and guidelines

This report has been prepared as a technical assessment and valuation in accordance with the Code for Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral and Petroleum Assets and Securities for Independent Expert Reports (the “VALMIN Code”) , which is binding upon Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and the Australian Institute of

Geoscientists (“AIG”), as well as the rules and guidelines issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) and the ASX Limited (“ASX”) which pertain to Independent Expert Reports ( Regulatory Guides RG111 and RG112 ).

Where mineral resources have been referred to in this report, the classifications are consistent with the ”Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC Code”), prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the AusIMM, the AIG and the Minerals Council of Australia, effective December 2004.

Under the definition provided by the VALMIN Code, the properties are classified as ‘Development Projects’ which contain Mineral Resources and are committed to production and ‘exploration areas’, which are inherently speculative in nature. The properties are considered to be sufficiently prospective, subject to varying degrees of risk, to warrant further exploration and development of their economic potential.

Sources of Information

The statements and opinion contained in this report are given in good faith and this review is based on information provided by the title holders, along with technical reports by consultants, previous tenements holders and other relevant published and unpublished data for the area. I have endeavoured, by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the technical data upon which this report is based. A final draft of this report was provided to the Company, along with a written request to identify any material errors or omissions prior to lodgement.

In compiling this report, I did not carry out a site visit to any of the Company’s Project areas. Based on my professional knowledge and experience and the availability of extensive databases and technical reports made available by various Government Agencies, I consider that sufficient current information was available to allow an informed appraisal to be made without such a visit.

The independent valuation report has been compiled based on information available up to and including the date of this report. Consent has been given for the distribution of this report in the form and context in which it appears. I have no reason to doubt the authenticity or substance of the information provided.

PROJECT REVIEW

CARNEGIE PROJECT

The Project, which includes the Riverina, Siberia and Lady Bountiful deposits, is situated approximately 120km north-west of Kalgoorlie. The Project area is connected to Kalgoorlie, a major regional centre, by the sealed Kalgoorlie-Menzies highway, with good quality gravel roads providing access throughout the Carnegie Project. The Riverina deposit is located 45 km north of the Davyhurst plant and is connected directly to Davyhurst by a gravel road suitable for road train operation. The Siberia project area is broadly about 40 km east of Davyhurst and 25 km west of the Goldfields Highway. The Lady Bountiful Project is located approximately 37 km north-west of the Kalgoorlie Township.

The Carnegie Project comprises operational and exploration prospects, including a mineral resource base at 30 June 2008 of 236,000 tonnes at 2.8g/t Au in the Measures Resource category, 11.00 million tonnes at 2.2g/t Au in the Indicated Resource category and 9.05 million tonnes at 2.4g/t Au in

Page | 4

the Inferred Category and Exploration Tenements (excluding Miscellaneous Licences) with an area of 1,342 km[2] .

The Carnegie Project is located within the north to north-north-west striking Davyhurst-Mt Ida Greenstone Belt, a western branch of the Norseman-Wiluna Belt. The Project encompasses a group of varied gold deposits spread over an area between Lizard in the south, First Hit in the north, and the Siberia Mining Centre in the east.

The Project straddles the boundary between the Eastern Goldfields Province and Southern Cross Province and includes portions of two crustal scale faults; the Ida Fault and Zuleika Shear. The Ida Fault marks the boundary between the Barlee Terrane of the Southern Cross Province and the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The Zuleika Shear separates the Coolgardie and Ora Banda Domains of the Kalgoorlie Terrane.

The area has hosted approximately 50 open pits and 4 medium sized but high grade underground mines including the Lady Bountiful, Lights of Israel, Callion, Glasson and Riverina underground mines.

MT IDA PROJECT

The Mt Ida Gold Project and associated operations and assets are located 200 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and 70 kilometres north-west of Menzies. Access from Kalgoorlie is via the Goldfields Highway to Menzies (130km) and via the Menzies to Sandstone Road, past Lake Ballard, and the Mt Ida road which are both all-weather gravel surface (100km). The Mt Ida Project tenements cover an area of 480 km2 of the prospective Ularring Greenstone Belt.

The Mt Ida Project area is located in the northern-most part of the Mt Ida (or Ularring) Greenstone Belt which is the western-most subdivision of the regionally extensive Norseman-Wiluna belt. The Ularring Greenstone Belt occupies an extensive sequence of mafic and ultramafic rocks with interbedded (volcanogenic) sediments and felsic to intermediate volcanics. The geology is structurally complex, consisting of cross cutting and regional shear zones, a regional anticline, intrusive porphyries and basal ultramafic contacts. The Ularring Greenstone Belt is represented by a narrow linear belt that extends from south of Davyhurst to Mt Alexander in the north; the belt corresponds to the western most subdivision of the extensive north-northwest trending NorsemanWiluna Greenstone Belt and covers a strike extent of approximately 150km.

The Mt Ida Project comprises operational and exploration prospects, including a mineral resource base at 30 June 2008 of 121,000 tonnes at 17.7g/t Au in the Indicated Resource category and 138,000 tonnes at 13.3g/t Au in the Inferred Category and Exploration Tenements (excluding Miscellaneous Licences) with an area of 472 km[2] .

The Mt Ida Project area is considered to be prospective for gold and base metals. Known deposit styles include shear/vein hosted gold and base metal sulphides. Historically 300,000 ounces of gold have been mined from the various mines in the Copperfield/Mt Ida area. The recent focus has been on the development and exploitation of the Baldock lode (with current resources of 69,000 oz gold). Future exploration and exploitation of the Meteor, Whinnen, Meteor North, Baldock South and Timoni lodes was planned.

VALUATION ASSESSMENT

The Carnegie and Mt Ida projects have estimated Mineral Resources or Exploration Targets. When a resource or defined body of mineralisation has been outlined and its economic viability has still to be established (i.e. there is no ore reserve) then a Comparable Transactions approach is usually applied, often stated as a percentage of metal value. This can be applied to Mineral Resource estimates and Exploration Targets in accordance with the JORC code with appropriate discounts for risk in the different categories.

With gold projects the method requires allocating a dollar value to resource ounces of gold in the ground. This may also apply to well established zones of mineralisation which have not formally been categorised under the JORC code. An additional risk weighting may be appropriate in these circumstances.

A similar approach can be taken with other metals including copper or base metals sold on the spot market and benchmarks are similar to gold properties. Value is estimated as a percentage of contained value once appropriate discounts for uncertainty relating to resource categorisation are taken into account.

The Mineral Resources are assumed to encapsulate all the value for Mining Leases and Miscellaneous Licences and a separate value for exploration potential for these tenements is not considered warranted.

The remainder of the Carnegie and Mt Ida Projects and the other Projects are exploration projects. Several methods of valuation are available for such projects where a Mineral Resource has not yet been estimated in accordance with the JORC code. These include the use of valuations based on past exploration expenditure and valuations based on perceived prospectivity.

Exploration projects can be extremely variable and the use of comparable transactions is unlikely to produce a statistical spread of values for “similar” projects. This method can be used where a Mineral Resource has been estimated. The Prospectivity Exploration Multiplier (PEM) is based on past expenditure while the Kilburn Geoscience Rating (Geo-factor Rating) is based on opinions of the prospectivity hence tenements can have marked variation in value between the methods.

The ‘Geo-factor Rating’ method of valuation for exploration tenements is the preferred valuation method for the Company’s current tenements as it focusses on the future prospectivity of the area.

The Geo-factor Rating method systematically assesses and grades of four key technical attributes of a tenement to arrive at a series of multiplier factors. The Basic Acquisition Cost (BAC) is the important input to the method and it is calculated by summing the application fees, annual rent, work required to facilitate granting (e.g. native title, environment etc) and statutory expenditure for a period of 12 months. This is usually expressed as average expenditure per square kilometre. Equity and grant status are also taken into account. Each factor then multiplied serially to the BAC. The ‘Base Value is multiplied by the prospectivity rating (the assessment of prospectivity factors multiplied together) to establish the overall technical value of each mineral property.

Page | 6

Where exploration has produced documented results a PEM can be derived which takes into account the valuer’s judgment of the success of the previous exploration techniques and results.

Paragraph 65 of RG 111 discusses a preference for the use of more than one valuation methodology. In the absence of a resource estimate in accordance with the JORC code an alternative method to the Geo-factor Rating method might consider past expenditure on the tenements and the uplift of value provided by encouraging result.

Past expenditures for the Company’s current tenements are not available from the previous explorers of the same ground over the duration of modern exploration and reliance is mainly placed on the Geo-factor method.

BASE VALUE

This represents the exploration cost for the current period of the tenements. The current Base Acquisition Cost (BAC) for exploration projects is considered to be the average expenditure for the first year of the licence tenure. Exploration Licences in Western Australia, for example, attract a minimum annual expenditure for the first three years of $300 per square kilometre and annual rent of $43.50. A 10% administration fee is taken into account to imply a BAC of $360 to $400 per square kilometre. A similar approach based on expenditure commitments is taken for Prospecting Licences and Mining Leases

Exploration Tenements – Alternative Valuation Methods:

There is a preference for the use of more than one valuation methodology for the same tenements expressed in Paragraph 65 of Regulatory Guide 111. An alternative method to the Geo-factor Rating method might consider past expenditure on the tenements and the uplift of value provided by encouraging result indicated by the Prospectivity Enhancement Multiplier (PEM).

PEM Range Criteria

1.3 – 1.5 Exploration has considerably increased the prospectivity (geological mapping, geochemical or geophysical)

  • 1.5 – 2.0 Scout Drilling has identified interesting intersections of mineralization 2.0 – 2.5 Detailed Drilling has defined targets with potential economic interest.

  • 2.5 – 3.0 A resource has been defined at Inferred Resource Status, no feasibility study has been completed

Page | 14

Complete records of past expenditure for the Projects are not available from the previous explorers. The project has been extensively explored in the past with mapping, satellite imagery, geophysics, surface geochemistry and historical drilling forming part of the data base.

It is considered reasonable to suggest that the current value of these work elements would be as shown in the following table. This is considered speculative (but plausible) and the successful results of the work indicate that detailed drilling has defined targets with potential economic interest with the potential to contain medium sized deposits and small Inferred Resources may be estimated. This would attract Prospectivity Enhancement Multipliers as set out below.

MARKET VALUE

In arriving at a fair market value for a particular exploration tenement, I have considered the current market for exploration properties in Australia and overseas. It is considered appropriate to apply a significant discount to the technical value of the exploration potential of the tenements.

I have considered the Country risk and current market for exploration properties in Australia. An assessment of country risk and an assessment of the Business Climate have been provided by a specialist firm (source: www.coface.com). The rating for Australia is ‘A1’ for country risk and ‘A1’ for business climate which are considered to be low. This rating will affect the market factor in assessing market value.

The current market value for mineral projects in Australia is considered to be depressed and a market factor of 25% to 30 % has been applied to the technical value for Carnegie and Siberia and 20% to 25% for Mt Ida and the other projects.

Market Value = [Technical Value]*[Adjusted Market Factor]

VALUATION OPINION

Based on an assessment of the factors involved I estimate the value for exploration projects to be in the range A$34.1 million to A$47.3 million with a preferred value of A$40.7 million. This valuation is effective on 28 September 2012.

APPENDIX 2

MINERAL ASSETS VALUATION METHODOLOGY FOR EXPLORATION TENEMENTS

FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MINERAL ASSETS

Mineral assets include, but are not limited to, mining and exploration tenements held or acquired in connection with the exploration, the development of, and the production from those tenements together with all plant, equipment and infrastructure owned or acquired for the development, extraction and processing of minerals in connection with those tenements.

Mineral assets classification Mineral assets classification
Exploration areas Mineralization may or may not have been identified, but where a mineral resource has
not been defined.
Advanced exploration areas Mineral resources have been identified and their extent estimated (possibly
incompletely). This includesproperties at the earlystage of assessment.
Pre-development projects A positive development decision has not been made. This includes properties where a
development decision has been negative, properties on care and maintenance and
properties held on retention titles.
Development projects Committed to production, but which, are not yet commissioned or not initially operating
at design levels.
Operating Mines Mineral properties, particularly mines and processing plants, which have been fully
commissioned and are inproduction.

The fair market value of a mineral asset is the estimated amount of money or the cash equivalent or some other consideration for which the mineral asset should change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. Each party is assumed to have acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

The value of a mineral asset usually consists of two components,

  • The underlying or Technical Value which is an assessment of a mineral asset’s future net economic benefit under a set of appropriate assumptions, excluding any premium or discount for market, strategic or other considerations.

  • The Market Component, which is a premium relating to market, strategic or other considerations which, depending on circumstances at the time, can be either positive, negative or zero.

When the technical and market components of value are combined the resulting value is referred to as the market value. A consideration of country risk should also be taken into account for overseas projects.

The value of mineral assets is time and circumstance specific. The asset value and the market premium (or discount) changes, sometimes significantly, as overall market conditions, commodity prices, exchange rates, political and country risk change.

REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

Mineral asset valuations are governed by the VALMIN code and ASIC Practice Note 43 in Australia and by the CIMVAL code, NI43-101 and TSXV Appendix 3G in Canada

THE VALMIN CODE

The four main requirements of the VALMIN Code are

Transparency The report needs to explain how the valuation was done and the assumptions used in calculating the value. The objective is to provide sufficient information that other people can come up with the same answer.

Materiality This means the valuer has to ensure that all important data that could have a significant impact on the valuation is included in the report.

Competence The valuer must be competent at doing valuations. The person needs to be an expert in the particular exploration target being evaluated. Typically the person needs at least 5 years’ experience in that commodity.

Independence . The valuer must act in a professional manner and not favour the buyer or the seller. In other words the price must be set at a “fair market value”. To achieve independence, the valuer must not receive any special benefit from doing the study.

The decisions as to the valuation methodology or methodologies to be used and the content of the Report are solely the responsibility of the Expert or Specialist whose decisions must not be influenced by the Commissioning Entity. The Expert or Specialist must state the reasons for selecting each methodology used in the Report. Methods chosen must be rational and logical and be based upon reasonable grounds.

The Expert or Specialist should make use of valuation methods suitable to the Mineral or Petroleum Assets or Mineral or Petroleum Securities under consideration. Selection of the appropriate valuation method will depend on, inter alia:

  • (a) the purpose of the Valuation;

  • (b) the development status of the Mineral or Petroleum Assets;

  • (c) the amount and reliability of relevant information;

  • (d) the risks involved in the venture; and

  • (e) the relevant market conditions for commodities and/or shares.

The Expert or Specialist should choose, discuss and disclose the selected valuation method(s) appropriate to the Mineral or Petroleum Assets or Mineral or Petroleum Securities under

Page | 41

consideration, stating the reasons why the particular valuation method(s) have been selected in relation to those factors set out in Paragraph 39 and to the adequacy of available data. It may also be desirable to discuss why a particular valuation method has not been used. The disclosure should give a sufficient account of the valuation method(s) used so that another Expert could understand the procedure used and assess the Valuation. Should more than one valuation method be used and different valuations result, the Expert or Specialist should comment on the reason(s) for selecting the Value adopted.

Australian Securities and Investment Commission – Regulatory Guides RG111 and RG112

It is not the ASIC’s role or intention to limit the expert’s exercise of skill and judgment in selecting the most appropriate method or methods of valuation. However, it is appropriate for the expert to consider:

  • (a) the discounted cash flow method;

  • (b) the amount which an alternative acquirer might be willing to offer if all the securities in the target company were available for purchase;

The ASIC does not suggest that this list is exhaustive or that the expert should use all of the methods of valuation listed above. The expert should justify the choices of valuation method and give a sufficient account of the method used to enable another expert to replicate the procedure and assess the valuation. It may be appropriate for the expert to compare the figures derived by more than one method and to comment on any differences.

The complex valuations in an expert’s report necessarily contain significant uncertainties. Because of this an expert who gives a single point value will usually be implying spurious accuracy to his or her valuation. An expert should, however, give as narrow a range of values as possible. An expert report becomes meaningless if the range of values is too wide. An expert should indicate the most probable point within the range of values if it is feasible to do so.

The expert should carry out sufficient enquiries or examinations to establish reasonable grounds for believing that any profit forecasts, cash flow forecasts and unaudited profit figures that are used in the expert’s report, and have been prepared on a reasonable basis. If there are material variations in method or presentation the expert should adjust for or comment on them in the report.

The expert should discuss the implications to his or her valuation if:

  • (a) the current market value of the subject of the report is likely to change because of market volatility (for example, boom or depression); or

  • (b) the current market value differs materially from that derived by the chosen method.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY FOR EXPLORATION TENEMENTS

Valuation of exploration properties is exceptionally subjective. If an economic resource is subsequently identified then a new valuation will be dramatically higher, or alternatively if expenditure of further exploration dollars is unsuccessful then it is likely to decrease the value of the

Page | 42

Tenements. There are a number of generally accepted procedures for establishing the value of exploration properties and, where relevant, the use of more than one such method to enable a balanced analysis and a check on the result has been undertaken. The value will always be presented as a range with the preferred value identified. The preferred value need not be the median value, and will be determined by the Independent Expert based on his experience.

The Independent Expert, when determining a value for a mineral asset, must assess a range of technical issues prior to selection of a valuation methodology. Often this will require seeking advice from a specialist in specific areas. The key issues are:

  • geological setting and style of mineralization

  • level of knowledge of the geometry of mineralization in the district

  • mining history, including mining methods

  • location and accessibility of infrastructure

  • milling and metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization

  • results of exploration including geological mapping, costeaning and drilling of interpretation of geochemical anomalies

  • parameters used to identify geophysical and remote sensing data anomalies

  • location and style of mineralization identified on adjacent properties

  • appropriate geological models

In addition to these technical issues the Independent Expert needs to make a judgement about the market demand for the type of property, commodity markets, financial markets and stock markets. The technical value of a property should not be adjusted by a “market factor” unless there is a marked discrepancy between the technical value and the market value. When this is done the factor should be clearly identified.

Where there are identified reserves it is appropriate to use financial analysis methods to estimate the net present value (NPV) of the properties. This technique has deficiencies which include assessment of only a very narrow area of risk, namely the time value of money given the real discount rate, and the underlying assumption that a static approach is applicable to investment decision making, which is clearly not the case.

When assessing value of exploration properties with no identified mineral resources or only inferred resources it is inappropriate to prepare any form of financial analysis to determine the net present value. The valuation of exploration tenements or licences, particularly those without identified resources, is highly subjective and a number of methods are appropriate to give a guide as discussed below.

Page | 43

All of these valuation methods are relatively independent of the location of the mineral property. Consequently the valuer will make allowance for access to infrastructure etc when choosing a preferred value. It is observed that the Prospectivity Exploration Multiplier (PEM) is heavily based on the expenditure, while the Kilburn Geoscience Rating (Kilburn) is more heavily based on opinions of the prospectivity hence tenements can have marked variation in value between the methods. If the Kilburn assessment is high and the PEM is low it indicates effective well focussed exploration, if the Kilburn is low and the PEM high it suggests that the tenement is considered to have lower prospectivity.

PROSPECTIVITY ENHANCEMENT MULTIPLIER (PEM) OR MULTIPLE OF EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE (MEE)

Past expenditure on a tenement and/or future committed exploration expenditure can establish a base value from which the effectiveness of exploration can be assessed. Where exploration has produced documented results a PEM can be derived which takes into account the valuer’s judgment of the prospectivity of the tenement and the value of the database.

PEM Factors Used in this valuation method

PEM Range Criteria
0.2 – 0.5 Exploration (past and present) has downgraded the tenement prospectivity, no mineralization
identified
0.5 – 1.0 Exploration potential has been maintained (rather than enhanced) by past and present activity
from regional mapping
1.0 – 1.3 Exploration has maintained, or slightly enhanced (but not downgraded) the prospectivity
1.3 – 1.5 Exploration has considerably increased the prospectivity (geological mapping, geochemical or
geophysical)
1.5 – 2.0 Scout Drilling has identified interesting intersections of mineralization
2.0 – 2.5 Detailed Drilling has defined targets with potential economic interest.
2.5 – 3.0 A resource has been defined at Inferred Resource Status, no feasibility study has been
completed
3.0 – 4.0 Indicated Resources have been identified that are likely to form the basis of a prefeasibility
study
4.0 – 5.0 Indicated and Measured Resources have been identified and economic parameters are
available for assessment.

Future committed exploration expenditure is discounted to 60% by some valuers to reflect the uncertainty of results and the possible variations in exploration programmes caused by future undefined events. Expenditure estimates for tenements under application are often discounted to 60% of the estimated value by some valuers to reflect uncertainty in the future granting of the tenement. The PEM Factors are defined in the table.

GEO-FACTOR RATING METHOD (KILBURN)

Page | 44

Valuation is based on a calculation in which the geological prospectivity, commodity markets, financial markets, stock markets and mineral property markets are assessed independently. The Kilburn method is essentially a technique to define a value based on geological prospectivity. The method appraises a variety of mineral property characteristics:

  • location with respect to any off‐property mineral occurrence of value, or favourable geological, geochemical or geophysical anomalies;

  • location and nature of any mineralization, geochemical, geological or geophysical anomaly within the property and the tenor of any mineralization known to exist on the property being valued;

  • number and relative position of anomalies on the property being valued;

  • geological models appropriate to the property being valued.

The Method systematically assesses and grades these four key technical attributes of a tenement to arrive at a series of multiplier factors. The Basic Acquisition Cost (BAC) is the important input to the Kilburn Method and it is calculated by summing the annual rent, statutory expenditure for a period of 12 months and administration fees.

The current Base Acquisition Cost (BAC) for exploration projects is considered to be the average expenditure for the first year of the licence tenure. Exploration Licences in Western Australia, for example, attract a minimum annual expenditure for the first three years of $300 per square kilometre and annual rent of $43.50. A 10% administration fee is taken into account to imply a BAC of $360 to $400 per square kilometre. A similar approach based on expenditure commitments is taken for Prospecting Licences and Mining Leases

Estimate of project value is carried out on a tenement by tenement basis and uses four calculations as shown below. The value estimate is shown as a range with a preferred value.

Base Value = [Area][Grant Factor][Equity]*[Base Acquisition Cost]

Prospectivity Index = [Off Site Factor][On Site Factor][Anomaly Factor][Geology Factor] Technical Value = [Base Value][Prospectivity Index]

Market Value = [Technical Value]*[ Market Premium Factor]

VALUATION OF RESOURCES BY COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS

If a property in the recent past was the subject of an arms-length transaction, for either cash or shares (i.e. from a company whose principal asset was the mineral property) then this forms the most realistic starting point, provided that the deal is still relevant in today’s market. Complicating matters is the knowledge that properties rarely change hands for cash, except for liquidation purposes, estate sales, or as raw exploration property when sold by an individual prospector, or entrepreneur.

Any underlying royalty or net profits interests or rights held by the original vendor of the claims should be deducted from the resultant property value before determination of the company’s interest. Also, reductions in value should be made where environmental, legal or political sensitivities could seriously retard the development of exploration properties.

It should be noted again that exploration is cyclical, and in periods of low metal prices there is often no market, or a market at very low prices, for ordinary exploration acreage (inventory property) unless it is combined with a significant mineral deposit, or with other incentives.

Truly Comparable Transactions are rare for early stage properties without defined drill targets. This is natural in a recession, as companies focus on brownfields exploration. Inflated prices paid for property in fashionable areas should not be discounted because they reflect the true market value of a property at the transaction date. If however, the market sentiment is not so buoyant then adjustments must be made.

When only a resource or defined body of mineralisation has been outlined and its economic viability has still to be established (i.e. there is no ore reserve) then a Comparable Transactions approach is usually applied, often stated as a percentage of metal value. This can be applied to Mineral Resource estimates and Exploration Targets in accordance with the JORC code with appropriate discounts for risk in the different categories.

Resource Category Discounts
Measured Resource 80%
Indicated Resource 70%
Inferred Resource 60%
Exploration Target 50%

Page | 47

With gold projects the method requires allocating a dollar value to resource ounces of gold in the ground. This may also apply to well established zones of mineralisation which have not formally been categorised under the JORC code. An additional risk weighting may be appropriate in these circumstances.

The dollar value must take into account a number of aspects of the resources including:

  • The confidence in the resource estimation (the JORC Category).

  • The quality of the resource (grade and recovery characteristics)

  • Possible extensions of the resource in adjacent areas

  • Exploration potential for other mineralisation within the tenements

  • Presence and condition of a treatment plant within the project

  • Proximity of toll treatment facilities, infrastructure, development and capital expenditure aspects

A similar approach can be taken with other metals including uranium or base metals sold on the spot market and benchmarks are similar to gold properties. Value is estimated as a percentage of contained value once appropriate discounts for uncertainty relating to resource categorisation are taken into account. An example of appropriate discounts for Rare Earths, Iron Ore and Base Metals is included below but these must be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Operations Factors Rare Earths Iron Ore Base Metals
Recovery 60% 88.00% 100%
Mining 100% 90.00% 100%
Processing 50% 80.00% 90%
