The execution of the Share Sale Agreement and Deed of Assignment of Debt with Namakera's shareholders, followed completion of a detailed legal, financial and technical due diligence by the Company and its consultants in Australia, Africa and the United Kingdom and the finalisation of negotiations with all key stakeholders.
With the technical, legal and financial due diligence and a number of key conditions precedent satisfied, the acquisition now remains subject to the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and other applicable law or regulations, including but not limited to, approval to reinstatement to official quotation on ASX of the Company.

Ms. Fink has worked in Australia and the United Kingdom for both listed and private companies and has been involved in a number of initial public offerings and capital raisings for resource companies on the ASX. Ms. Fink has a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Finance) Degree and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Australia.
The Company also announced during the Quarter the resignation of Mr Peter Landau and Ms Jane Flegg and the termination of its corporate advisory, company secretarial and financial management services agreement with OKAP Ventures Pty Ltd.

Appointment of UK Broker and Advisor and Investor Roadshows
The Company announced during the Quarter the appointment of London based merchant bank Brandon Hill Capital as the Company's UK broker and advisor.
Brandon Hill Capital is an independent Merchant Bank that provides its clients with integrated, independent advice on corporate finance, equity research, equity sales and corporate broking services to UK and overseas publicly-quoted companies and financial institutions.
The Company completed a series of investor presentations in Johannesburg Cape Town, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and London during the Quarter with its advisors Sanlam Private Wealth Australia, Verdant Capital and Brandon Hill Capital. Following these investor meetings, the Company received positive feedback on its proposed acquisition of the Namakera Vermiculite Mine and support for the capital funding required to complete the acquisition and subsequent t planned investment.
Drawing On Existing Loan Facilities to Meet Due Diligence and Working Capital Requirements
During the Quarter, the Company's major secured debt providers, Seefeld Investment Limited and Tychee Investments Limited confirmed their continued support of the Company and its proposed acquisition of Namakera, by allowing further drawings of undrawn loan funds available under their facilities. Funds were drawn during the Quarter and used to meet due diligence and working capital costs associated with the acquisition and with working capital costs associated with the US Silver Projects. Further drawings under these facilities are forecast to be made in the current quarter to meet ongoing working capital and due diligence costs until the acquisition of Gulf is completed and until funds from the Company's proposed $4,500,000 equity are available.
The Company is also working with its advisors in Australia, South Africa and United Kingdom to ensure the Company's future debt and equity capital requirements in respect to the acquisition of Gulf are met.
ASIC Determination
During the Quarter, an ASIC Delegate made a determination pursuant to s713(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) which excludes the Company from relying upon s713 of the Act until 23 April 2017.
ASIC's determination was based on the Company's failure to inform the market of details in relation to its convertible note agreements entered into in 2015, including details of: the names of the lenders and terms of conversion; the face value of the convertible notes; and the extent of conversion and amount outstanding under each relevant convertible note. The Company also failed to comply with the accounting standards in relation to its disclosure of the convertible notes as an after reporting date event in its annual report for the 2014/2015 financial year. The determination means that the Company will not be able to rely on reduced disclosure rules and must issue a full form prospectus in order to raise funds from retail investors.
The Company intends to issue a full form prospectus to raise funds to complete the acquisition of Gulf. The Company is also actively pursuing and implementing a number of initiatives led by the recently appointed Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Julian Ford, to review and improve previous Company practices and corporate governance activities. To this effect, the Company updated its Corporate Governance Policies and published these on the recently relaunched and updated Company website. The Company plans to continue this continuous improvement process.

The Notice, Explanatory Memorandum, Independent Expert and Independent Technical Valuation Reports are all important documents and should be read carefully and in their entirety and in conjunction with all other announcements made by the Company in relation to its acquisition of Gulf.
