NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
Dear Shareholder
ROX RESOURCES LIMITED (ASX:RXL) – SHARE PURCHASE PLAN NOW OPEN
We write to you as a holder of fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) in Rox Resources Limited (ASX:RXL) (Rox or the Company) with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 8 November 2022 (Record Date).
The Company is pleased to offer eligible shareholders as at the Record Date and with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom (Eligible Shareholders) the opportunity to participate in the Company's share purchase plan (Offer) to raise up to A$1 million.
The Offer will give Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to apply for up to A$30,000 worth of Shares (New Shares) at an issue price of A$0.165 for each New Share (Issue Price) without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
The Issue Price represents a:
- 13.2% discount to the closing market price on ASX of the Shares on 4 November 2022, being the last day on which Shares were traded on the ASX immediately prior to the Offer being announced; and
- 19.0% discount to the volume weighted average market price on ASX of Shares for the last five days on which Shares were traded on the ASX immediately prior to the day on which the Offer was announced (being 4 November 2022).
On Wednesday, 9 November 2022, the Company announced the Offer and a placement of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to sophisticated and professional investors, including the Company's largest Shareholder, Hawke's Point (RRL) L.P (Hawke's Point), to raise up to A$4 million (Placement).
Hawke's Point has, subject to Shareholder approval, committed to subscribe for up to 4 million Shares under the Placement to raise A$0.7 million. Hawke's Point's commitment of A$0.7 million assumes that A$1 million (before costs) is raised under the Offer. If less than A$1 million is raised under the Offer, Hawke's Point's A$0.7 million commitment will reduce to the extent necessary to retain its current shareholding of 13.18% after the issue of Shares under the Placement and Offer. Alternatively, if the Company elects to increase the A$1 million cap under the Offer and accept oversubscriptions, Hawke's Point has committed to subscribe for such additional number of Shares required to retain its current shareholding of 13.18% after the issue of Shares under the Placement and Offer.
The Shares under the Placement (excluding Hawke's Point) were issued on Wednesday, 16 November 2022.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, Taylor Collison Limited and RM Corporate Finance Pty Ltd acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement and are acting as Joint Lead Managers to the Offer.
The Company indicatively intends to use the proceeds of the Placement and Offer to progress resource drilling, near mine exploration and feasibility studies at the company's flagship Youanmi Gold Project as it heads toward development (subject to the Board's discretion as to the ultimate use of funds). Shareholders should refer to the Company's ASX announcements, available from www.asx.com.au orhttps://www.roxresources.com.au/ (including the announcement dated Wednesday, 9 November 2022), for further details of the Placement.
The Company intends to raise up to A$1 million from the Offer. If total demand for the Offer exceeds A$1 million, the Company reserves the right to close the Offer early and scale back applications or accept oversubscriptions in its absolute discretion. When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back an application, the Company may take into account a number of factors, including the size of an applicant's shareholding, the extent to which Eligible Shareholders have sold or bought additional shares after the Record Date and the date an application was made. Eligible Shareholders are therefore encouraged to submit their applications early.
Participation in the Offer is optional. The issue of New Shares is expected to take place on or around Thursday, 8 December 2022.
Participation and important dates in relation to the Offer
The Offer is offered exclusively to all Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians), being registered holders of Shares as at the Record Date with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom, and not resident or located in the United States nor acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, or any other jurisdiction in or into which an offer of New Shares would be unlawful, who meet certain other conditions as expressly prescribed in the SPP Offer Booklet.
To participate in the Offer, you can either:
- (a) follow the instructions on your personalised Application Form which can be requested by contacting the Offer Information Line on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) between 8:30am and 5:00pm (AEDT) on Monday to Friday; or
- (b) apply online at www.computersharecas.com.au/rxlspp. To access this website you will need your SRN or HIN, which is displayed at the top of this letter.
The Offer opens on Thursday, 17 November 2022 and closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 1 December 2022.
The Company will not accept any late applications. However, the Directors reserve their right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to vary the closing date without prior notice, including closing the Offer early. Accordingly, the Directors encourage any Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians) wishing to participate in the Offer to remit their Application Monies as soon as possible. If the closing date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
Subject to ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 4) being satisfied at the date of the issue of the New Shares, Directors who are Eligible Shareholders may participate in the Offer (without having to obtain prior Shareholder approval) on the same terms as all other Eligible Shareholders.
Offer
The Offer provides Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to acquire a parcel of up to A$30,000 worth of New Shares in the Company. Shareholders may apply for New Shares in the following amounts:
| Subscription Amount (A$) | Number of Shares | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Parcel A | $30,000 | 181,818 | |
| Parcel B | $25,000 | 151,515 | |
| Parcel C | $20,000 | 121,212 | |
| Parcel D | $15,000 | 90,909 | |
| Parcel E | $10,000 | 60,606 | |
| Parcel F | $5,000 | 30,303 | |
| Parcel G | $2,000 | 12,121 |
The Company will not issue any fraction of New Shares. Eligible Shareholders applying for New Shares must pay all Application Monies in Australian dollars.
The Company reserves its rights to issue fewer New Shares than an Eligible Shareholder applies for under the Offer or none at all and to scale back applications or accept oversubscriptions in such manner as the Directors see fit. Any determination by the Directors in respect of any oversubscription or scaling back or refusal of any application will be final. If a scale back occurs or the Company refuses an application, the Company will refund any excess Application Monies to the relevant Eligible Shareholders in full (in A$ and without interest).
The Offer is not underwritten.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules (including ASX Listing Rule 7.1), to the extent that there is a shortfall in the subscription of New Shares under the Offer (Shortfall), the Directors reserve the right to issue the New Shares that comprise the Shortfall to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors at their absolute discretion.
Pricing
The Issue Price of each New Share will be A$0.165, which is the same price as Shares issued pursuant to the Placement.
The market price of the Shares may rise or fall between the date of this document and the date that the Company issues New Shares to you under the Offer. This means that the price at which the Company issues New Shares to you may be greater or less than the prevailing market price of the Shares at the date of this document. Further, the Issue Price may exceed the price at which you would be able to buy Shares on the market at the same time that the Company issues New Shares to you under the Offer. We recommend that you seek financial advice from a suitably qualified adviser before you decide to participate in the Offer.
Shareholder approval
The Company will issue the New Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the issue of the New Shares under the Offer.
SPP Offer Booklet
Full details of the Offer are detailed in the SPP Offer Booklet released on the ASX market announcements platform on Thursday, 17 November 2022, which will also be available on the Rox website at https://www.roxresources.com.au and the Offer website at www.computersharecas.com.au/rxlspp. Before you decide whether to participate in the Offer, please read the SPP Offer Booklet carefully as you will bound by the terms and conditions detailed in the SPP Offer Booklet.
If you have any questions in respect of the Offer, please contact the Shareholder Information Line on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) between 8.30am and 5:00pm (AEDT) on Monday to Friday or consult another professional or your financial adviser.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your continued support of the Company.
Yours faithfully
Stephen Dennis
Chairman

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF OFFER
The following are the terms and conditions of the Company's share purchase plan (Offer). By accepting the Offer, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and the Company's constitution.
1 ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547
The Offer is offered in compliance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (ASIC Instrument 2019/547). ASIC Instrument 2019/547 provides relief from the requirement for the Company to provide a prospectus when offering shares to existing shareholders of the Company pursuant to a share purchase plan.
2 Opening Date and Closing Date of the Offer
The Offer opens on Thursday, 17 November 2022 (Opening Date).
The Offer closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 1 December 2022 (Closing Date).
Late applications will not be accepted. However, the Directors reserve their right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to vary the Closing Date without prior notice. Accordingly, the Directors encourage any Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians) wishing to participate in the Offer to lodge their Application Forms and/or remit their Application Monies as soon as possible. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
3 Who is eligible to participate in the Offer?
You are eligible to apply for New Shares under the Offer if you were registered as a holder of Shares as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 8 November 2022 (Record Date) and if your registered address, as recorded in the Register, is in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom and you are not resident or located in the United States nor acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, or any other jurisdiction in or into which an offer of New Shares would be unlawful (Eligible Shareholder).
The Offer to each Eligible Shareholder is made on the same terms and conditions.
Your rights under the Offer are personal to you and the Offer is non-renounceable (i.e. you may not transfer your right to subscribe for New Shares to anyone else).
4 Shareholder approval
The Company will issue the New Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the issue of the New Shares pursuant to the Offer.
The Company reserves the right to scale back applications in such manner as the Directors see fit. Consequently, you may not receive the New Shares which you apply for pursuant to the Offer.
5 Voluntary participation
The Offer is entirely voluntary and is subject to the Terms & Conditions. You are not obliged to participate in the Offer.
6 Issue Price
The issue price for each New Share will be A$0.165 (Issue Price) being a discount of 13.2% to the closing of Shares on ASX immediately prior to Wednesday, 9 November 2022 (being the date on which the Company announced the Offer and Placement). The method used to calculate the Issue Price was to match it to the issue price per Share offered pursuant to the Placement.
7 Important information on price risk to consider
Before deciding whether to accept the Offer, you should refer to the current market price of the Shares, which can be obtained from your stockbroker, your financial adviser or via the ASX website.
Subscription for New Shares is a speculative investment and the market price may change between the date you apply for New Shares and the issue of New Shares to you. Accordingly, the value of New Shares applied for is likely to rise or fall. Importantly, there is a risk that during the period between the time of the Offer and when the New Shares are issued to you, the price at which Shares are traded on ASX may be less than the Issue Price. You must rely on your own knowledge of the Company and previous disclosures made by the Company to ASX (including disclosure regarding risks of making an investment in the Company). In determining whether you wish to participate in the Offer and the extent to which you participate, you should seek your own personal financial and/or taxation advice referable to your personal circumstances.
8 How much can you invest in the Offer?
Subject to paragraph 12, if you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may subscribe for a maximum of A$30,000 worth of New Shares.
There is a minimum amount for which you may subscribe under the Offer which is A$2,000 worth of New Shares.
| Subscription Amount (A$) | Number of Shares | |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel A | A$30,000 | 181,818 |
| Parcel B | A$25,000 | 151,515 |
| Parcel C | A$20,000 | 121,212 |
| Parcel D | A$15,000 | 90,909 |
| Parcel E | A$10,000 | 60,606 |
| Parcel F | A$5,000 | 30,303 |
| Parcel G | A$2,000 | 12,121 |
The following parcels of New Shares are available under the Offer:
The maximum limit of A$30,000 worth of New Shares applies to you even if you receive more than one Offer. For example, if as at the Record Date, you are both a sole and a joint Shareholder, you can only apply for New Shares once, either in your capacity as sole Shareholder or joint Shareholder, not both.
No fraction of New Shares will be issued.
All Application Monies must be paid in Australian dollars.
No brokerage, stamp duty or other costs are payable by applicants in respect of an application for New Shares.
9 Scale back, oversubscriptions or refusal of application
The Company intends to raise up to A$1 million by the issue of New Shares. However, if total demand for the offer exceeds A$1 million, the Directors may in their absolute discretion, undertake a scale back to the extent and in the manner they see fit. Alternatively, the Company may elect to change the A$1 million cap at its absolute discretion by announcement to ASX and accept oversubscriptions (subject to the maximum permitted under the ASX Listing Rules).
Factors which the Directors may take into account in determining any scale back include, but are not limited to:
- (a) the extent to which Eligible Shareholders have sold or bought additional Shares after the Record Date and the date the application was made;
- (b) the total Application Monies received;
- (c) the amount applied for by each Eligible Shareholder;
- (d) the number of Shares held by each Eligible Shareholder at the Record Date;
- (e) whether an Eligible Shareholder remains on the register on the Closing Date;
- (f) the date the Company received the payment of Application Monies; and
- 2
(g) any other such criteria as determined by the Directors in their absolute discretion.
If there is a scale back, you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied.
If a scale back produces a fractional number when applied to the number of New Shares for which you have applied, the number of New Shares issued to you will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
If there is a scale back, the difference between the Application Monies received from you, and the number of New Shares issued to you multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to you in full (in A$ and without interest and at your sole risk).
The Directors reserve their right (in their absolute discretion) to refuse an application (in whole or in part) if they consider that:
- (a) it is reasonable and prudent to do so;
- (b) the applicant is not an Eligible Shareholder;
- (c) the issue of those New Shares may contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation in any jurisdiction (including without limitation the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules) or the requirements of any regulatory or governmental body or may require further action to be taken by the Company including, without limitation, registration of Shares or the preparation of a prospectus in any jurisdiction; or
- (d) the applicant has not otherwise complied with the Terms & Conditions.
If an application is refused in whole or in part, the relevant Application Monies will be returned to the applicant (without interest and at the applicant's sole risk).
All Directors' decisions in connection with a scale back or refusal of an application are final.
10 Shortfall
The Offer is not underwritten.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules (including ASX Listing Rule 7.1), to the extent that there is a shortfall in the subscription of New Shares under the Offer (Shortfall), the Directors reserve the right to issue the New Shares that comprise the Shortfall to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors at their absolute discretion.
11 Risk Factors
Before deciding whether to accept the Offer, you should refer to the current market price of the Company's Shares, which can be obtained from daily newspapers, your stockbroker or financial adviser or the ASX.
Owning shares in the Company is considered a speculative form of investment and the future price of Shares can rise or fall.
Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk that the market price of the Shares may change between the date of this Offer (or the date the Offer is accepted), and the date when the New Shares are issued. Accordingly, the value of New Shares applied for is likely to fluctuate.
Shareholders should note that the Offer is not made under a prospectus or other disclosure document and does not require the type of disclosure required under the Corporations Act for a disclosure document. Shareholders must rely on their own knowledge of the Company and previous disclosures made by the Company on the ASX. You should consult your professional adviser when deciding whether or not to accept the Offer and participate in the SPP. The contents of this document have not been reviewed by ASIC, ASX or any other any regulatory authority in any jurisdiction.
There are specific risks that relate to the Company's business. In addition, there are general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of risk factors to which the Company is exposed:
Company Specific Risks
(a) Tenure, access and grant of applications
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that tenements will be renewed (nor that tenement applications will be granted). There is a risk that applications for tenements within the Company's projects may not be granted.
The Company's projects are subject to relevant mining legislation. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to government discretion, the Company's ability to meet the conditions imposed by relevant authorities is not certain, including compliance with the Company's work program requirements which, in turn, is dependent on the Company being sufficiently funded to meet those expenditure requirements. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed by the relevant granting authority. The consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenement for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.
Pursuant to the tenements comprising the Company's projects, the Company is subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, tenement holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the tenement liable to be cancelled or its size reduced.
Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in its projects.
There is a risk of inability to access the land required for operations on tenements. This may, for example, be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, landholder's activities, regulatory or third party objections or other factors. Such difficulties may cause delays and cost overruns (and may prevent the carrying out of activities on tenements).
Interests in tenure may also be compromised or lost due to third party interests or claims.
(b) The Company has no history of earnings and no production or revenues
The Company has no history of earnings, and does not have any producing mining operations. The Company has experienced losses from exploration activities and the Company expects to continue to incur losses. Notwithstanding the Scoping Study announced by the Company to the ASX on 19 October 2022, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to economically exploit any mineral deposit or enter into production.
The Company expects to continue to incur losses from exploration, studies and development activities in the foreseeable future.
(c) Future capital requirements
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company will require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer and Placement.
As detailed in the Youanmi Gold Project Scoping Study announcement dated 19 October 2022, should a final investment decision by the Board be made in respect of commencing commercial production, funding of approximately A$134 million would be required, comprising:
- (i) total pre-production capital expenditure of approximately A$99 million;
- (ii) total pre-production operating cost of approximately A$31 million (including preproduction mining and site general and administrative costs in the first seven months until the first gold production); and
(iii) assumed financing charges until the first gold production of approximately A$4 million.
Additional funding will be required and may be raised by the Company via the issues of equity, debt or a combination of debt and equity or asset sales. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its proposed operations and scale back its exploration, studies and development programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern or remain solvent.
(d) Joint venture risk
The Company has entered into joint venture with Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX:VMC) in relation to the Youanmi Gold Project. The Company may be reliant upon its joint venture partner providing specific resources or expertise to deliver the joint venture obligations. The Company's interests may not always be the same as those of its joint venture partner in relation to these matters and conflicts can have adverse time and cost implications. The Company's joint venture partner may not deliver on their obligations, which may cause financial and reputational impacts to the Company. The contractual terms governing the Company's joint venture arrangements may give joint venture partners rights that are adverse to the interests of the Company in certain circumstances (for example where the Company breaches a term of the arrangement), and may give rise to disputes between the joint venture partners. There is the risk that the Company's joint venture partner may default on their obligations or otherwise act in a manner which adversely affects the Company.
(e) Reliance on key personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be difficult for the Company to continue to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people.
(f) New projects and acquisitions
The Company may make acquisitions in the future as part of future growth plans. In this regard, the Directors will use their expertise and experience in the resources sector to assess the value of potential projects that have characteristics that the Directors consider are likely to provide returns to Shareholders.
There can be no guarantee that any new project acquisition or investment will eventuate from these pursuits, or that any acquisitions will result in a return for Shareholders. Such acquisitions may result in use of the Company's cash resources and/or the issuance of equity securities, which will dilute shareholdings.
(g) Native title, cultural heritage and sacred sites
Mining tenements in Australia are subject to native title laws and may be subject to future native title applications. Native title may preclude or delay granting of exploration and mining tenements or the ability of the Company to explore, develop and/or commercialise the mining tenements. Considerable expenses may be incurred negotiating and resolving issues, including any compensation agreements reached in settling native title claims lodged over any of the mining tenements held or acquired by the Company.
The presence of Aboriginal sacred sites and cultural heritage artefacts on mining tenements is protected by Western Australian and Commonwealth laws. Any destruction or harming of such sites and artefacts may result in the Company incurring significant fines and court injunctions. The existence of such sites may limit or preclude exploration or mining activities on those sites, which may cause delays and additional expenses for the Company in obtaining clearances.
Industry Specific Risks
(h) Nature of mineral exploration and mining
The business of mineral exploration, development and production is subject to risk by its nature. Shareholders should understand that mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards (with no guarantee of ever becoming producing assets).
The success of the Company depends, among other things, on successful exploration, feasibility of projects, securing and maintaining title to tenements and consents, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining activities may also be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems.
There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral tenement interests currently owned by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of mineral deposits which are capable of being exploited economically. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited. If such commercial viability is never attained, the Company may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realise value, or the Company may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a "going concern".
Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices, which fluctuate widely, and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The combination of these factors may result in the Company expending significant resources (financial and otherwise) on tenements without receiving a return. There is no certainty that expenditures made by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries of an economically viable mineral deposit.
The Company has relied on and may continue to rely on consultants and others for mineral exploration and exploitation expertise. The Company believes that those consultants and others are competent and that they have carried out their work in accordance with internationally recognised industry standards. However, if the work conducted by those consultants or others is ultimately found to be incorrect or inadequate in any material respect, the Company may experience delays or increased costs in exploring or developing its tenements.
(i) Results of studies
The Company released its Youanmi Gold Project Scoping Study to ASX on 19 October 2022 (Study).
Following a substantial upgrade to the Youanmi underground gold resource in January 2022, and a subsequent increase to the near surface resource in April 2022, the Company commenced scoping work to understand the economics and likely development scenarios for the Youanmi Gold Project. The project-wide resource currently stands at 27.9Mt at 3.57g/t Au for 3.2Moz Au contained gold. The Study is based on this resource estimate.
The Company is targeting average annual gold production of approximately 71koz per annum with an average gold head grade of 5.0g/t Au for total gold production target of approximately 569koz over an 8-year life of mine at Youanmi.
The first three years of the production target are underpinned by 79% / 21% Indicated to Inferred Resource Material in the production target plan. As a historic mining centre, the economics for Youanmi benefit significantly from existing infrastructure and mining approvals.
A combination of gold-in-concentrate and carbon-in-leach (CIL) bullion production has been pursued by the Company as the optimum commercialisation strategy for initial cashflow generation at Youanmi. The Project will require funding of approximately A$134 million, consisting of the following:
- (i) total pre-production capital expenditure of approximately A$99 million;
- (ii) Total pre-production operating cost of approximately A$31 million (including preproduction mining and site general and administrative costs in the first seven months until the first gold production); and
- (iii) assumed financing charges until the first gold production of approximately A$4 million.
The Study shows compelling financial outcomes reflecting the high grade and low capital intensity of the Youanmi Gold Project, including:
- (i) a project life of eight years;
- (ii) cumulative EBITDA of approximately A$577 million over the life of the Project;
- (iii) pre-tax undiscounted free cash flow of approximately A$418 million over the life of the Project;
- (iv) pre-tax and unleveraged Net Present Value (NPV5%) of approximately A$303 million;
- (v) pre-tax and unleveraged Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of approximately 45%; and
- (vi) pre-tax and unleveraged payback of approximately three years (from commencing the production target).
Importantly, the plan retains plenty of upside for future growth, with the production target accounting for only 3% of the near surface mineral resource and about 27% of the underground mineral resource.
Subject to the results of any future exploration and testing programs, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Company's current projects or any new projects. These studies may include scoping studies, pre-feasibility studies and bankable feasibility studies.
These studies may not occur, but if they are completed, they would be prepared within certain parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the relevant project within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Company's projects or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a scoping study).
Further, even if a study determines the economics of the Company's projects, there can be no guarantee that the projects will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study, once production commences including but not limited to operating costs, mineral recoveries and commodity prices.
In addition, the ability of the Company to complete a study would be dependent on the Company's ability to raise further funds to complete the study as required.
(j) Resource and Reserve estimates
Ore reserve and mineral resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Mineral resource and ore reserve estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and thus estimations may prove to be inaccurate. The Company has no ore reserves. Further, there is no guarantee that any of the Company's projects will become feasible and consequently no forecast is made of whether or not any ore reserve will be defined in future.
The actual quality and characteristics of mineral deposits cannot be known until mining takes place and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop resources. Further, ore reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual ore reserves and mineral resources may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations.
Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company's operations.
(k) Operational risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors which are beyond the control of the Company, such as failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration or mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in exploration and mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages, delays in procuring, or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company. The operations of the Company may also be affected by various other factors, including failures in internal controls and financial fraud.
These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.
(l) Mine development
No mines have been developed by the Company. Possible future development of mining operations at the Company's projects or other tenements applied for or acquired by the Company may not occur and is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, the grant of tenure, availability of funding on reasonable terms for such development and favourable mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, heritage, environmental, engineering, social, government, native title and other legal matters and receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties. The Company announced details of the Youanmi Gold Project Scoping Study on 19 October 2022. Refer to that ASX announcement for further information.
If the Company commences production on any existing or future projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, such as weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in exploration, development, 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.
No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of existing or future projects.
(m) Metallurgical risks
The economic viability of mineralisation depends on a number of factors such as the development of an economic process route for metal concentrates, which may or may not ultimately be successful. Further, changes in mineralogy may result in inconsistent metal recovery.
(n) Environmental regulation risk
The Company's projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. The governments and other authorities that administer and enforce environmental laws and regulations determine these requirements. As with all exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly, if they result in mine development.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop mineral deposits. There are also risks that the Company may breach environmental laws and regulations, with consequential adverse effects on the financial position and performance of the Company.
Further, the Company will require approvals from relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
(o) Environmental liabilities risk
The Company's activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with (without limitation) the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing and are generally becoming more restrictive.
(p) Climate change risk
There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and financial position of the Company. Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea levels, floods, hail, drought, water, scarcity, temperature extremes and earthquakes) may have an adverse effect of the Company's operations and/or the Company's future financial performance.
Changes in policy, technological innovation and/or consumer/investor preferences may also adversely impact the operations and financial position of the Company or may result in less favourable pricing for its product, particular in the event of a transition to a lower carbon economy.
(q) Occupational Health and Safety Risk
The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. However, exploration, development and other mining industry activities have inherent risks and hazards. While the Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information and training to all stakeholders through its occupational, health and safety management systems, health and safety incidents may nevertheless occur. Any illness, personal injury, death or damage to property resulting from the Company's activities may lead to a claim against the Company.
(r) COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Australian economy, including the ability of individuals, businesses, and the State and Federal governments in Australia to operate. There continues to be uncertainty as to the duration and further impact of COVID-19, including government, regulatory or health authority actions, supply restrictions, costs increases and unemployment rates in Australia. The negative impact of some or all of these factors on the Australian economy may have an adverse impact on the Company's operations as well as adverse implications on the Company's future cash flows, profitability and financial condition.
There is also a risk that other pandemics could occur, which may have effects on global economies and populations that are similar to, or worse than, COVID-19.
General Risks
(s) Securities investments
There are risks associated with any securities investment.
There is no guarantee that an active trading market in the Shares will continue or that the price of Shares will increase. The prices at which Shares trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Further, the stock market is prone to price and volume fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares, regardless of the Company's operational performance.
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(t) Economic risk
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Similarly, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate and the market price of Shares include, but are not limited to:
- (i) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws;
- (ii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world;
- (iii) movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates;
- (iv) industrial disputes in Australia and overseas;
- (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors or commodities;
- (vi) financial failure or default by an entity with which the Company may become involved in a contractual relationship; and
- (vii) natural disasters, social upheaval, war (such as impacts of the war in Ukraine) or acts of terrorism.
(u) Tax law and application
The application of and changes in relevant tax laws (such as income tax, goods and services tax (or equivalent) and stamp duty), rules relating to deductible liabilities, or changes in the way those tax laws are interpreted, will or may impact the tax liabilities of the Company or the tax treatment of a Shareholder's investment. An interpretation or application of tax laws or regulations by a relevant tax authority that is contrary to the Company's view of those laws may increase the amount of tax paid or payable by the Company.
Both the level and basis of tax may change. Any changes to the current rates of taxes and/or any changes in tax rules and tax arrangements may increase the amount of tax paid or payable by the Company and may also impact Shareholders.
(v) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks
The Company is exposed to the risks of commodity price volatility and exchange rate fluctuations increasing the Company's costs.
Also, if the Company achieves success leading to mineral production (which may never occur), the revenue it will derive through the sale of product will expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
Commodity prices and exchange rates fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.
(w) Dilution
In certain circumstances, the Directors may issue equity securities without any vote or action by Shareholders. When the Company issues equity securities, the percentage ownership of Shareholders may be reduced and diluted.
(x) Competition
Like many industries, the resources industry is subject to domestic and global competition. The Company has no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors and these activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
Many of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and produce other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
(y) Litigation risk
Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Company's activities. Legal proceedings brought by third parties including but not limited to joint venture partners or employees could negatively impact the Company.
(z) Unforeseen expenses
The Company may incur unforeseen expenses. In those circumstances, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.
(aa) Force Majeure
The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company such as labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(bb) Insurance
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, insurance of all risks associated with exploration, development and mining activities is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be prohibitively high. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.
(cc) Change in regulations and regulatory risk
Any material adverse changes in government policies, legislation or shifts in political attitude in Australia that affect mineral mining and exploration activities, tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability of a project or the Company. No assurance can be given that amendments to current laws and regulations or new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could substantially limit or affect the Company's business.
The Company's activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters such as regulatory and third party consents, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, Native Title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company's operations. These permits relate to matters such as exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the exploration or development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company's activities or forfeiture of one or more tenements.
(dd) Accounting standards
Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) are adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and are not within the control of the Company and its Directors. The AASB may, from time to time, introduce new or refined AAS, which may affect the future measurement and recognition of key statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position items. There is also a risk that interpretation of existing AAS, including those relating to the measurement and recognition of key statement of profit or loss or statement of financial position items may differ. Any changes to the AAS or to the interpretation of those standards may have an adverse effect on the reported financial performance and position of the Company.
(ee) Expected future events may not occur
Certain statements in this document (and in the Company's ASX announcements, such as the Scoping Study announcement released by the Company on 19 October 2022) constitute forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance and achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Given these uncertainties, prospective Shareholders should not place undue reliance on such forwardlooking statements. In addition, under no circumstances should forward looking statements be regarded as a representation or warranty by the Company, or any other person referred to in this document, that a particular outcome or future event is guaranteed.
(ff) Trading in securities of the Company may not be liquid
There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for securities of the Company. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market or Company's securities become illiquid, the Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.
12 Custodian Certification
If on the Record Date you are a Custodian and hold Shares on behalf of one or more persons each of whom is an Eligible Shareholder (each, a Participating Beneficiary), the Offer is made to you and you have the discretion whether to extend the Offer to the Participating Beneficiaries. You may apply up to a maximum of A$30,000 worth of New Shares for each Participating Beneficiary.
