TRANSCENDENCE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED TO ACQUIRE REDCASTLE GOLD PROJECT

Release Date: 29 July 2021

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Transcendence Technologies Limited has entered into an agreement to acquire the Redcastle Gold Project.

  • Project located in Western Australia surrounding the locality of the historical Redcastle mining centre.

  • Transcendence Technologies Limited to raise $4,500,000 via re-compliance capital raising.

  • Proposed appointment of highly experienced mining executive to the Board.

Transcendence Technologies Limited (ACN 096 781 716) (ASX:TTL) ( Company ) is pleased to announce that, through its subsidiary E-Collate Pty Ltd (ACN 608 766 123), it has entered into an agreement ( Agreement ) under which it will acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in the Redcastle Gold Project ( Project ) from the holders of the Tenements (defined below) ( Proposed Acquisition ).

The material terms of the Agreement are summarised in Annexure A.

The Proposed Acquisition is conditional on the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals (including the receipt of Ministerial consent as detailed at page 10 and Annexure A) to effect the Proposed Acquisition and satisfying all other requirements of ASX for the reinstatement to official quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX (among other things).

On completion, the Proposed Acquisition will amount to a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s current activities and as such, the Company will be required to obtain approval from its shareholders ( Shareholders ) and to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

To assist the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules the Company plans, subject to Shareholder approval, to conduct a capital raising under a full form prospectus ( Prospectus ) for the issue of 225,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (on a post-consolidation basis) in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to raise a minimum of $4,500,000 ( Minimum Subscription ) ( Public Offer ).

The Company’s securities have been suspended from quotation since 23 September 2019 and will remain suspended from quotation until the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, including by satisfaction of ASX’s conditions precedent to reinstatement. If the Proposed Acquisition does not proceed, the Company may not complete the re-compliance. The Company is due to be removed from the Official List of the ASX if it has not re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules by 23 September 2021 (subject to the receipt of any extension).

The Company notes that ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this announcement.

THE REDCASTLE GOLD PROJECT

Pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, the Company will acquire the Redcastle Gold Project which comprises the tenements detailed below.

Prior to executing the Agreement, the board considered several potential acquisition opportunities. As with any business or asset that does not have a meaningful track record of revenue and profitability, there is not always an appropriate formal valuation methodology available when determining consideration. However, based on the Company’s legal and technical due diligence process, and the representations and warranties provided by the Vendors (defined below), it considered the acquisition of the Project to be the best path forward to generate value for Shareholders and the Company. In addition, based on the board’s experience and background, it considered that the Proposed Acquisition compared favourably to recent third-party re-compliance listing transactions involving mineral exploration assets, given the exploration potential of the Project.

Background to the Project

The Project is a gold focused holding consisting of:

  • (a) one (1) pending Mining Lease (MLA) (which is expected to be granted in the next 3-6 months, following native title negotiations);

  • (b) one (1) granted Mining Lease (MLA); and

  • (c) nine (9) granted Prospecting Licences (PL’s),

covering a prospective area (966.8ha) surrounding the locality of the historical Redcastle Mining Centre within the Mt Morgans District of the Mt Margaret Mineral Field of WA approximately 60km east of Leonora and 60km west of Laverton in the North Eastern Goldfields. The Tenements are currently held by Trevor Dixon, Ross Crew, Russell McKnight and Robert Johnson (together, the Vendors ).

The tenements comprising the Project ( Tenements ) are set out below:

Gold was originally discovered at the Redcastle mining centre in 1895.

Gold targets are located within highly altered and sheared mafic rocks that have been intruded by small ovoid granites and porphyries. Several significant historical drill intersections that have never been followed up present as immediate target areas.

The northern portion of the project area hosts the 7.5km long east-west trending mineralised ‘Redcastle Reef’.

Exploration is focusing on the delineation of structures sub-parallel to the Redcastle Reef that could potentially be concealed beneath the weathered regolith. The majority of mineralised zones in the Redcastle area are open along strike and at depth, they have not been tested beneath the zone of weathering and oxidation, 40-50m (vertical depth). The Redcastle Reef and associated sub-parallel structures are the most obvious target zones.

Figure 1: Geological Plan of the Redcastle Mining Centre and the tenement holding.

The source of the alluvial gold on the holdings with the exception of the Redcastle Mining Centre remains unknown however additional mineralisation on site could be sitting directly above an as yet undiscovered sub-parallel reef, related to the Redcastle Reef, that is concealed beneath the regolith.

The Redcastle Reef appears to be a large scale, late stage local dilational feature caused by folding and subsequent brittle fracturing of the mafic greenstone sequence along granitic contacts.

The local greenstone terrain is characterised by open, upright folds, low grade metamorphism and relatively continuous stratigraphy. Regionally the Redcastle Project area is separated by the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone, to the west, and the Laverton Tectonic Zone to the east with polyphase deformation, variable metamorphic grade, discontinuous stratigraphy and an association with fault bound polymictic conglomerates developed during late extension.

Gold mineralisation is associated with NW trending quartz lodes and the alluvial cover in close proximity to such lodes. The most extensive workings are for eluvial gold but numerous hard rock workings are scattered throughout the Redcastle area. The majority of the districts major producers lie within or immediately adjacent to a major tectonic zone. Gold mines in mafic sequences tend to occur in quartz reefs in dilational fault zones with little host rock alteration.

The Company is keen to explore and expand its holdings and secure additional tenements within the Redcastle area. The Company intends to acquire (subject to Shareholder approval and the conditions detailed at Annexure A) a 100% interest in the rights, title and interest in the Tenements. The Vendors of the Tenements will retain rights to all alluvial gold and a 2% overriding gross royalty over all minerals sold from the Tenements.

Further details with respect to the Project will be included in the notice of meeting and Prospectus to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Acquisition and Public Offer.

Exploration Potential and Proposed Exploration Program

As noted above, a number of different mineralisation styles and targets have been identified, including “orogenic gold mineralogy” and “intrusive gold mineralogy”.

Several prospects already have ready-to-go established drill targets. Following completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Company intends to undertake modelling and interpretation, in conjunction with a critical re-assessment of the geology and the historical exploration data of the Project.

The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Public Offer will be to:

  • (a) advance near surface targets utilising geophysical surveying followed by initial aircore and then deeper more focussed drilling, such as reverse circulation and/or diamond drilling;

  • (b) complete regional geophysical surveys over prospective geological environments/ lithological trends followed by initial aircore and then deeper reverse circulation and/or diamond drilling;

  • (c) identify additional drill targets by undertaking surface exploration activities through geophysical, gravity survey and soil sampling activities;

  • (d) provide sufficient drilling data to allow estimation of maiden JORC Resources at priority target areas;

  • (e) through exploration success, evaluate opportunities for near term gold production; and

  • (f) seek further exploration, acquisition and joint venture opportunities in Western Australia and elsewhere.

BUSINESS MODEL OVERVIEW

Following completion of the Public Offer and the Proposed Acquisition, the Company’s proposed business model will be to further explore and develop the identified mineral deposits at the Project. The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Public Offer are:

  • (a) systemically explore the Project for gold through geological mapping, surface sampling and drilling on the Project;

  • (b) continue to pursue other acquisitions that have a strategic fit for the Company;

  • (c) focus on mineral exploration or resource opportunities that have the potential to deliver growth for Shareholders;

  • (d) implement a growth strategy to seek out further exploration and acquisition opportunities; and

  • (e) provide working capital for the Company.

CHANGE OF NAME

On completion of the Proposed Acquisition, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to change its name to ‘Redcastle Resources Limited’.

KEY DEPENDENCIES

The key dependencies influencing the viability of the Proposed Acquisition are:

  • (a) the Company’s capacity to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules to enable re-admission to quotation of the Company’s Shares;

  • (b) completion of the Proposed Acquisition;

  • (c) tenure access and grant of applications;

  • (d) commodity price volatility and exchange rate risk;

  • (e) ability to meet resource and reserves and exploration targets;

  • (f) raising sufficient funds to satisfy expenditure requirements, exploration and operating costs; and

  • (g) minimising environmental impact and complying with health and safety requirements.

KEY RISKS

  • (a) Completion risk

1/1 Altona Street, West Perth WA 6005 | ABN 57 096 781 716 T: +61 (0)8 6559 1792 | W: www.tt-limited.com | E [email protected]

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenements, the exercise and completion of which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. There is a risk that the conditions for completion of the Proposed Acquisition cannot be fulfilled and, in turn, that completion of the Proposed Acquisition does not occur.

If the Proposed Acquisition is not completed, the Company will incur costs relating to advisors and other costs without any material benefit being achieved.

(b)

Re-quotation of Shares on ASX

The Proposed Acquisition constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List of ASX.

Trading in the Company’s Shares is currently suspended and will remain suspended until the Company re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules following completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The Proposed Acquisition is conditional on the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals to effect the Proposed Acquisition and satisfying all other requirements of ASX for the reinstatement to Official Quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX (among other things).

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

(c)

Dilution risk

The Company currently has 60,783,999 Shares on issue (on a post-Consolidation basis). Pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition and this Notice, the Company proposes to issue (on a post-Consolidation basis):

  • (A) 42,500,000 Consideration Shares;

  • (B) 225,000,000 Public Offer Shares;

  • (C) 30,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Xcel Capital;

  • (D) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Peter Wall;

  • (E) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Jeremy King; and

  • (F) 4,000,000 Options to Mr Patrick Holywell;

Following completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 18.52% of the Company’s issued Share capital;

  • (A) the Vendors will hold approximately 12.95% of the Company’s issued Share capital; and

  • (B) the investors under the Public Offer will hold approximately 68.54% of the Company’s issued Share capital.

(d) Exploration

Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Redcastle Gold Project, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the Project.

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(e) Tenement applications and license renewal

The Company cannot guarantee additional applications for tenements made by the Company will ultimately be granted, in whole or in part. Further the Company cannot guarantee that renewals of valid tenements will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. There is a risk that regulatory and environmental approvals required to convert exploration licences into mining leases may not be obtained or may be revoked.

(f)

Mine development

Possible future development of a mining operation at the Project is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement of hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore.

(g) Additional requirements for capital

The funds to be raised under the Public Offer are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company. Additional funding may be required in the event costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operational plans in the future to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. If such events occur, additional funding will be required.

Following completion of the Public Offer, the Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements, or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities may result in delay and indefinite postponement of their activities and the proposed commercialisation, marketing and international expansion strategy. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing may not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.

(h)

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

(i) Native title and Aboriginal heritage

In relation to Tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights exist. The Project (including the pending Tenement application) currently overlaps the Nyalpa Pimiku (WC2019/002) native title claim and a number of sites of registered Aboriginal heritage significance. Without more detailed research into the sites and how they might be affected by future works, it is impossible to anticipate whether such approvals will be forthcoming or what conditions might attach to such approval.

The ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected if the Company is unable to negotiate access to areas of interest within the Project area. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims or Aboriginal heritage matters involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

BOARD APPOINTMENTS

Following completion of the Proposed Acquisition, Mr Mauro Piccini will resign as a director and Mr Patrick Holywell and Mr Jeremy King will remain as directors of the Company.
