potential to become a strategically important deposit in the district. We hope that all the existing shareholders will participate in the Right Issue, which will provide a means for them to maintain their interest in the Company and realise further value through our progress.

Management is also continuing to advance negotiation regarding sales and partnerships over non-core assets, which will further strengthen the balance sheet and provide further working capital for Mt Sholl exploration.”

Share Placement and Non-Renounceable Rights Issue

CPS Capital and Kaai Capital acted as joint lead managers to the Placement (“ JLMs ”) which was strongly supported by existing shareholders.

The Placement shares to raise $600,000 will be issued at an issue price of $0.003 to sophisticated and professional investors under the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and is expected to complete on or around 14 April 2023.

In conjunction with the Placement, the Company will undertake a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 new share for every 4 shares held by eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.003 to raise up to $1,240,937 (before costs) ( Rights Issue ). The Rights Issue is offered to Company shareholders who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand at a record date, which is yet to be determined, but will be before the issue of the Placement shares. All new shares issued under the Placement and the Rights Issue will rank equally with existing shares on issue and the Company will apply for official quotation of the shares on ASX. The JLMs will also assist the Company to place any shortfall which may arise from any new shares which are not taken up under the Rights Issue ( Shortfall ). The Rights Issue is not underwritten. The Board (in consultation with the JLMs) reserves the right to place any Shortfall at their discretion within three months following the closing date of the Rights Issue. Based on the number of existing shares at the date of this announcement, a total of approximately 413,645,614 new shares will be issued under the Rights Issue (assuming no Shares are issued prior to the Record Date). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will announce the Right Issue timetable once it is finalised, however it is currently intended that the Placement shares will be issued after the Record Date of the Rights Issue.

In consideration for lead managing the Placement and any Shortfall, the Company will pay the JLMs (and/or their nominees) a fee of 6% of the amount raised under the Placement and on any Shortfall the JLMs place under the rights issue shortfall, and issue to the JLMs (and/or their nominees) a total of 40M Lead Manager Options, 40M Broker Options and 20M Shortfall Broker Options (to the extent the JLMs place the Shortfall). All of the options to be issued to the JLMs will be listed in the same class as the Company’s’ existing ASX:RDNOA options on issue, which have an exercise price of 1.5c and expire on 30 November 2024. The options issued to the JLMs will be issued subject to shareholder approval.

Mr Michael Davy Non-Executive Chairman commented : “ Firstly, on behalf of the board, we would like to thank Mr Pawlitschek for his continued contribution during his tenure with the Company and to wish him success with his future endeavours. At the same time, we welcome Ms Garic to the role of Non-Executive Director alongside her continuing role as Company Secretary ”.

At-The-Market Facility

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into non-binding At-The-Money (“ ATM ”) Financing Term Sheet with 8 Equity Pty Ltd (“ 8 Equity ”) under which 8 Equity will provide the Company with an ATM facility to raise up to $2M over the period of 3 years (“ Facility ”), subject to execution of formal documentation (anticipated to occur this week).

The Facility will provide the Company with an alternative means to raise capital and can be used in conjunction with other traditional means of capital raising.

Under the Facility, the Company will seek shareholder approval to issue 96,000,000 advanced subscription shares to 8 Equity (“ Advanced Subscription Shares ”). During the term of the Facility, the Company can instruct 8 Equity to raise funds through the sale of shares on-market, specifying the period over which shares can be sold, the minimum price at which shares can be sold at, and the maximum number of shares to be sold (or the amount it wishes to raise). At the end of the sale period, 8 Equity will provide the net proceeds of the sale of shares to the Company (less [8%]). There is no requirement on the Company to use the Facility and it can cancel the Facility without penalty at any time. If any Advanced Subscription Shares have not been sold by the end of the Term, the parties can mutually agree an issue price for 8 Equity to pay to retain the shares, or the Company can specify a floor price at which 8 Equity can sell the shares on market over a specified period to raise funds, or the shares will be bought back by the Company and cancelled for nil consideration. The Advance Subscription Shares will be issued subject to shareholder approval.
