Under the SPP Offer, the Company will seek to issue a maximum of 34,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share and 17,000,000 Free Attaching Options. The Company will raise up to $6,800,000 from the issue of the Shares, with the potential for further funds to be raised if the Free Attaching Options are exercised.
Under the SPP Offer, Eligible Shareholders will be able to apply for up to 75,000 Shares (i.e. payment of $15,000) and in the event more than $6,800,000 is applied for, applications will be scaled back.

Applications under the Shortfall Offer will be dealt with at the Directors’ discretion. Further details of the SPP Offer and the Shortfall Offer will be set out in a Prospectus to be distributed to Eligible Shareholders and made available on the ASX company announcements platform.

Pursuant to clauses 11.11 and 11.12 of the Constitution any Director so appointed holds office only until the next General meeting and is then eligible for election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.
Mr Sproule, having been appointed on 13 February 2017, will retire from office in accordance with the requirements of clause 11.11 and 11.12 of the Constitution and being eligible submits himself for election by Shareholders in accordance with clauses 11.11 and 11.12 of the Constitution.
10. APPROVAL FOR DIRECTORS TO APPLY FOR SHORTFALL UNDER THE SHORTFALL OFFER: RESOLUTIONS 9 AND 10
Resolutions 9 and 10 seek approval for Messrs Harper and Sproule (or their nominees) to apply for Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Shortfall Offer. As Messrs Sproule and Harper are Directors of the Company they are not permitted under the Listing Rules to apply for any Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer without Shareholder approval.
11
Resolutions 9 and 10 seek shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 to entitle Messrs Sproule and Harper to apply for Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Shortfall Offer.
10.1 Requirement for shareholder approval
Messrs Harper and Sproule are directors and consequently related parties of the company within the meaning of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act. The approval of shareholders is required under listing rule 10.11 for the issue of Shares and Free Attaching Options to such related parties. Resolutions 9 and 10 seeks that Shareholder approval.
Approval may also be required under section 208 of the Corporations Act for the provision of a financial benefit (including the issue of securities) to related parties. However, the Company is satisfied in this respect that all related parties and the Company can rely on the exception to section 208 contained in section 210(a) of the Corporations Act, which applies to remove the shareholder approval requirement under the Corporations Act where the terms of the financial benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm's length. The terms and conditions of any application under the Shortfall Offer by Messrs Sproule and Harper will be on exactly the same terms as the SPP Offer which is available to all Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company is satisfied requirements of the section 210(a) exception are satisfied.
10.2 Required information
Pursuant to listing rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of this resolution:
-
a) the allottees of the Shares and Free Attaching Options under Resolutions 9 and 10 are Mr Don Harper (or his nominee) and Mr David Sproule (or his nominee);

-
c) the Shares to be issued under Resolutions 9 and 10 will be issued within one month of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of all Shares pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will occur on the same date;
-
d) approval of Shareholders is required because Messrs Harper and Sproule are related parties by virtue of being directors;
-
e) the issue price for the Shares to be issued under Resolutions 9 and 10 will be the same as the issue price for all Shares issued under the SPP Offer;
-
f) the Shares to be issued under Resolutions 9 and 10 are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing shares;
-
g) the Free Attaching Options to be issued under Resolutions 9 and 10 are Options to buy fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Free Attaching Options to be issued under the SPP Offer;
-
h) pursuant to, and in accordance with listing rules 10.13.6 and 14.11, a voting exclusion statement is included in the notice in respect of Resolutions 9 and 10;
-
i) the intended use of funds raised from the SPP Offer will be used to fast track the Leonora Gold Project Definitive Feasibility Study, secure opportunistic and long lead time infrastructure necessary to commence development of the Leonora Gold Project, retire existing debt and provide additional working capital; and
-
j) an aggregate of up to $850,000 will be raised by the issue of Shares and Options to Messrs Harper and Sproule under Resolutions 9 and 10.
