Attn: Trudie Walsh

By Email to: [email protected]

Dear Trudie,

Ausroc Metals Limited (In Liquidation) (Administrators Appointed) ("ARK" or the "Company")

Recapitalisation Proposal

I refer to the appointment of Chris Williamson and David Hurt of WA Insolvency Solutions as Joint & Several Official Liquidators ("Liquidators") of the Company on 23 August 2016 and as Voluntary Administrators on 9 February 2017.

The purpose of this communication is to provide you with a recapitalisation proposal for the Company (Appendix A) with accompanying standard clauses (Appendix B) and supporting information as to our experience and capabilities (Appendix C).

In brief our proposal is for the shell structure of the Company, for which we propose paying a total of AU\$425,000 cash as follows, subject to certain conditions being met:

  • \$425,000 payable within 14 days of the latter of:
  • o execution of the DOCA:
  • o The Court prospectively approving the termination of the Liquidation simultaneously with the effectuation of the DOCA (subject to shareholder approval, receipt of the \$425,000 and distribution of funds); and
  • Shareholder approval of all resolutions. $\circ$

Trident would also be responsible for paying the legal fees incurred in making the application to Court to terminate the liquidation.

The proposal is not dependent upon the completion of any fund raisings.

We look forward to moving ahead with the recapitalisation as quickly as possible. Please contact Sean McCormick or myself on (08) 6211 5099 to discuss any aspect of this proposal.

Yours faithfully,

APPENDIX C

TRIDENT'S EXPERIENCE http://www.tridentcapital.com.au/

Trident Capital Pty Ltd ("Trident") is a Corporate Advisory company based in Perth and is experienced in the reconstruction, recapitalisation and reinstatement on the ASX of companies. Trident is associated with Price Sierakowski Corporate, a legal firm that has worked with us on the transactions noted below.

  • Supersorb Resources NL now Nucoal Resources Limited (ASX: NCR)
  • Western Kingfish Limited now Cleveland Mining Limited (ASX: CDG)
  • Comdek Limited now Resource Generation Limited (ASX: RES)
  • Maverick Energy Limited now Triangle Energy (ASX: TEG)
  • Lafayette Mining Limited now Voyager Resources Limited (ASX: VOR)
  • Soil Sub Limited (ASX: SOI)
  • Safety Medical Products Limited now 3D Medical Limited (ASX: 3DM)
  • Coziron Resources Limited (ASX: CZR)
  • Narhex Life Sciences Ltd (ASX: NLS) now ResApp Health Ltd (ASX: RAP)
  • Oz Brewing Limited (ASX: OZB) now 333D Limited (ASX: T3D)
  • MvATM Holdings Limited (ASX: MYA) now iWebGate Limited (ASX: IWG)
  • Cell Aquaculture Limited (ASX: CAQ) Now CAQ Holdings Ltd (ASX: CAQ)
  • Windimurra Vanadium Limited (ASX: WVL)
  • Reclaim Industries Limited (ASX: RCM) now Rision Limited (ASX: RNL)
  • Leopard Resources NL (ASX: LRR) Now G8 Communications Ltd (G8C)
  • Oz Brewing Limited (ASX: OZB) Now 333D Limited (ASX: T3D)

We believe our experience and execution success should be a critical part of the Administrator and creditor decision process as:

  • the timely and successful execution of the DOCA process provides an earlier, and assured, return to creditors;
  • a changing environment exists within the ASX in relation to reinstatement of these companies, and one which our recent history shows we have clearly managed well. The Company may only get one chance at reinstatement, and it needs to be done correctly. Trident has never failed to complete a reconstruction; and
  • our proven ability to manage all aspects of the process with lawyers experienced in this area ensures reduced costs and work for the Administrator and hence improved returns for creditors.
