Quarterly Activities Report December 2014
The Directors of AusROC Metals Limited (ASX: ARK) (“AusROC”or “the company”) are pleased to present the quarterly activities statement for the quarter ended 31 December 2014.
Shenglong acquisition
During the quarter the company made a number of announcements concerning the amendments to the original binding term sheet it entered into to acquire a 77.58% interest in Shenglong International Investment Limited (“Shenglong”). We refer readers to the ASX announcement on 6 January 2015 when the company announced the most recent amendment to the agreement and that it had paid the first instalment to the vendor and had earned its initial project equity.
The Binding Term sheet, originally signed and announced to the market on 5 September 2014 outlined the terms for AusROC to acquire up to 77.58% interest in Shenglong. AusROC is pleased to advise that it has amended the previously announced deal on the following terms:
-
Deposit of US$1 million (already paid)
-
On or before 31 December 2014 a payment of US$1 million which has been paid. AusROC acquired a 1.50% interest in Shenglong. (paid)
-
On or before 15 January 2015, payment of US$0.5 million (paid). AusROC will upon payment, have acquired 1.88% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 31 January 2015, payment of US$4 million. AusROC will upon payment, have acquired 4.88% of Shenglong in total, and will also take management control of the project and Company - and be entitled to a 77.58% interest in all profits of Shenglong moving forward.
-
On or before 28 February 2015 a payment of US$5 million. AusROC will have acquired 8.63% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 15 April 2015 a payment of US$5 million. AusROC will have acquired 12.38% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 15 June 2015 a payment of US$5 million. AusROC will have acquired 16.13% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 31 August 2015 a payment of US$5 million. AusROC will have acquired 19.88% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 30 October 2015 a payment of US$5 million. AusROC will have acquired 23.63% of Shenglong.

-
On or before 30 August 2016 a payment of US$33 million. AusROC will have acquired 48.38% of Shenglong.
-
On or before 30 August 2017 a payment of US$38.94 million. AusROC will have acquired 77.58% of Shenglong.
-
Should AusROC not make the payment of US$33 million by 30 August 2016, it can still make the full payment of US$71.94 million by 1 March 2017 and not be in breach of the terms of this agreement.
-
AusROC has first and last rights over the vendors remaining 22.42% ownership of Shenglong.
The overall percentages and quantum of the deal remain the same as that approved by shareholders at the AGM in November 2014. The previous amendment to the Binding Term Sheet announced on 20 November 2014, provided for AusROC to pay the initial payment of US$49 million to the vendor over four instalments from 1 December 2014 until 2 April 2015.
Acquisition Financing
The company has been funding the Shenglong acquisition through debt facilities it has negotiated over the past 6 months. During the quarter (26 November 2014) the company announced that it had completed the registration of its unsecured corporate bond offering. To date $AUD$13 million of these bonds have been traded with cash settlement scheduled on or before 6[th] February 2015.
The company is also planning to offer a further AUD$17 million of bonds for trade. This will take the total bonds traded to AUD$30 million.
The company is also in advanced negotiations with a lender for a US$10 million, 12 month debt facility which will assist in trade finance for Moubiri production. Further details of the arrangement will be provided this week when the negotiations are scheduled to be completed.
Recompliance with Chapters 1 &2
AusROC is now in the process of re-complying under chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX listing rules. This involves inter alia, a capital raising of $4.28 million by issuing 214 million shares at 2 cents per share (on a consolidated basis). At this stage the Company will have approximately 500 million ordinary shares on issue at a recompliance price of 2 cents. The Company plans to have this raising fully underwritten and is currently in the process of finalising the prospectus and the underwriting agreement.
The Company had planned to lodge the prospectus and documents by Wednesday 14[th] January 2015. This has been delayed and will happen this month. Re-listing under prospectus usually takes up a minimum of 4 weeks so it is envisaged the company will re-list in March 2015.

Project update
During the quarter the company announced that it has received the results of assays of the DSO stockpile at the Shenglong Investments International Ltd (“Shenglong”) Moubiri mine.
The assays, carried out by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd of Vancouver, Canada, were performed on samples taken from the existing DSO stockpile at the Moubiri mine.
The purpose of the assays were;
-
(i) to verify the grades and specifications of the DSO stockpile with the grades and specifications of DSO that had been sent by Shenglong to China for sale/processing in two previous shipments; and
-
(ii) to provide grade specifications across multi elements for analysis by possible off take providers.
These results closely match and confirm the grade of the previous DSO shipments by Shenglong to China for sale/ processing.

The company also released the first drill core assay results from the Moubiri due diligence program.
Shenglong previously drilled 14 diamond core holes for a total of 2,688 metres during 2013 of which 2 key holes intercepted the Moubiri production ore body. As part of AusAmerican’ s due diligence program the company has logged the drill holes, supervised analyses by handheld XRF and the cutting/sampling of the drill core. The preliminary XRF results were released on 23 Oct. 2014. The drill core was assayed by Acme Laboratories (Vancouver) by 4 acid digest with an ICP finish and consistently returned higher copper grades than the original XRF results. Major intersections are as follows:

| Relationship between mineralisatio n widths and intercept lengths |
•These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. •If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. •If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
•The historical drill holes are vertical and the ore body is steeply dipping. This results in elongated down hole intersections. True widths have been calculated and included in the press release. |
| Diagrams | •Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
•Refer to ASX Announcement dated 23rdOctober |
| Balanced reporting |
•Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
•Reporting of results is considered balanced as all assay results have been reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
•Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
•No information is currently available detailing BRGM exploration conducted during the 1960’s. •Shenglong International Investment Ltd is currently undertaking small scale mining and has completed a number of shipments of DSO material – see press release dated 5thSeptember 2014 for further details. |
