The 10% Capacity would be in addition to the existing 15% Capacity to issue equity securities.
Purpose of approval
Shareholder approval is being sought to provide the Company with the maximum flexibility to raise funds by issuing equity securities without the need for further Shareholder approval.
If the 10% Capacity is not approved, the Company may be required to obtain Shareholder approval at the time of an issue of securities, which may limit the Company’s ability to take advantage of opportunities to raise equity capital.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A the Company must obtain Shareholder approval at the AGM to issue equity securities equivalent to 10% of the Company’s ordinary securities in the 12 months following the approval.
The 10% Capacity must be approved by a Special Resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

-
if the securities are not issued within five ASX trading days of that date, the date on which the securities are issued.
Date of issue
The Company’s ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Capacity will expire on the earlier of:
-
25 November 2015; or
-
the date Shareholders approve a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or a disposal of the Company’s main undertaking under Listing Rule 11.2.
Intended use of funds
Shares may be issued under the 10% Capacity for the following purposes:
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets or other investments. If this occurs, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
cash consideration. If this occurs, the Company intends to use the funds raised to continue exploration and development on the Company’s current assets, to acquire new assets or investments, or for working capital purposes.
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 3.10.5A and 7.1A.4 in relation to any issue of securities under the 10% Capacity.

The approval given at the 2013 annual general meeting will expire on 18 November 2014.
On 5 February 2014, 29,746,225 Shares were issued under the Company’s 10% Capacity as part of a Share purchase plan. The issue of these Shares was later ratified by Shareholders at the Company’s general meeting held on 20 March 2014, effectively resetting the Company’s 10% Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
No other issues were allotted pursuant to the 10% Capacity in the 12 months before the date of the AGM.
Allocation policy
The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Capacity. The identity of allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors which may include:
-
the methods of raising funds which are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with the various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of the raising;
-
the effect of any such issue on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers.
As at the date of this Notice, the allottees under the 10% Capacity have not been determined. They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Is there a risk of economic and voting dilution to you?
There is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the ordinary security holders of the Company. There is a specific risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue than it is on the date of the AGM; and
-
the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Shares on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the securities.

or holding statement stating the remaining number of Options held by the holder and stating the information set out above.

19 In the event of a reorganisation (including, without limitation, consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the capital of the Company, the rights of the holders of Options (including, without limitation, the number of Options to which the Optionholder is entitled to and the Exercise Price) will be changed (as appropriate) in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
-
20 If the Company makes a pro-rata issue (other than a bonus issue) to existing Shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the Exercise Price of each Option will be reduced in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the pro-rata issue.
-
21 If the Company makes a bonus issue to existing Shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of that Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of Shares over which that Option is exercisable will be increased in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the bonus issue.
-
22 The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of an Option as the absolute holder of that Option and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that Option on the part of any person other than the registered holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
-
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. If a Shareholder appoints only one proxy, that proxy may vote on a show of hands. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.
-
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. If more than one box is marked on an Item the vote will be invalid on that item.

-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.
