RTG Mining Inc.
ABN 70 164 362 850
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 3.00pm (Perth, Western Australia time), Friday 10 April 2015
Level 2, 338 Barker Road Subiaco, Western Australia 6008
A General Meeting of RTG Mining Inc. (RTG or the Company) will be held at Level 2, 338 Barker Road, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 at 3.00pm (Perth, Western Australia time) Friday, 10 April 2015
Dear Shareholder
This notice of meeting and explanatory notes (Notice) sets out resolutions that seek shareholder approval for the issue of fully paid shares in the Company (Shares) under the proposed A$15 million placement at A$0.68 per Share (Issue Price) to sophisticated and professional investors as announced on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on 5 February 2015 and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on 6 February 2015 (Proposed Placement). The Issue Price represents a 1.5% premium to RTG's last traded price on ASX prior to the announcement of the Proposed Placement and a 5.56% discount to RTG's 5 day volume weighted average ASX price.1
The issue of Shares under the Proposed Placement has been structured in two tranches. The issue of the first tranche on 18 February 2015 did not require shareholder approval as the Company had sufficient capacity under chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules (ASX Listing Rules) and section 607 of the TSX Listing Rules. However, RTG is seeking shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the first tranche of Shares as required under chapter 7 of the ASX listing rules. RTG is of the view that this is a sensible way of maximising flexibility over its capital structure for the next year*.* This would ensure RTG has capacity to issue further securities without the need for shareholder approval where the Board considers it prudent and in the best interests of the Company to make such issues. If shareholders do not ratify the issue of the first tranche of Shares, the Shares will still have been issued but the Company's capacity to issue further securities will be limited for the next year.
The Company requires Shareholder approval only under the ASX Listing Rules to issue the second tranche of Shares. This is because the Company does not have sufficient capacity under chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules. For participants in the Proposed Placement who will trade on TSX this second tranche of Shares will be issued on conversion of existing subscription receipts which were issued at the same time as the first tranche of Shares. If Shareholders do not approve the issue of the second tranche of Shares, the Company may need to seek alternative funding sources in order to progress the Company's projects and to ensure that the Company has sufficient working capital.
Placement commitments to raise the full A$15 million contemplated by the Proposed Placement have been secured and this Notice seeks the necessary shareholder approval to issue the second tranche of Shares under the Proposed Placement and to ratify the issue of the first tranche of Shares.
The Company proposes to use the funds raised from the Proposed Placement to progress the permitting and development of the Mabilo Project, exploration at the Bunawan Project, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The following pages contain details on the items of business (Items) to be conducted at the extraordinary general meeting (Meeting). Your directors believe that each of the Items are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Voting on the Items is important and I encourage all shareholders, holders of CDIs and persons who hold their interest in the Company beneficially through an intermediary to carefully follow the instructions set out in this Notice on how to exercise their voting rights.
This Notice also includes specific instructions on how and when to lodge proxy forms and voting instruction forms.
Yours faithfully
Mr Michael Carrick

RTG Mining Inc. EXPLANATORY NOTES
ITEM 1 RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF THE FIRST TRANCHE OF SHARES UNDER THE PROPOSED PLACEMENT
Background
On 10 February 2015, the Company announced it intended to issue approximately 22 million Shares at A$0.68 per Share in two tranches to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately A$15 million (Proposed Placement).
The first tranche of Shares was issued on 18 February 2015 within the Company's capacity to issue equity securities up to 15% of the Company's securities without Shareholder approval, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (15% Capacity). No Shareholder approval was required for the issue of the first tranche of Shares under the Proposed Placement.
The second tranche of Shares are to be issued to participants under the Proposed Placement subject to Shareholder approval.
The portion of the Proposed Placement subscribed for by participants who wish to trade Shares on TSX has been satisfied by the issue of units (Units). Each Unit comprises approximately:
- 0.75 Shares; and
- 0.25 subscription receipts (Subscription Receipts).
The Shares issued under the Units represent the first tranche of Shares under the Proposed Placement. The Subscription Receipts will convert into Shares on the satisfaction of certain conditions (including Shareholder approval). These Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts will represent the second tranche of Shares issued to participants who wish to trade on TSX under the Proposed Placement. Further details in respect of the Subscription Receipts are contained in the Explanatory Notes to Item 2.
Purpose of approval
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the first tranche of Shares under the Proposed Placement.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company must not issue more than the remaining 15% Capacity within a 12 month period unless a specified exception applies or the issue is made with prior Shareholder Approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue made by the Company (without Shareholder approval) to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that:
- it is subsequently ratified by Shareholders at a general meeting; and
- the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time it was made.
Approval of Item 1 will refresh the Company's 15% Capacity and enable it to raise further capital or make additional acquisitions by issuing equity securities, without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder approval.
The Board will only undertake further issues of equity securities if they consider it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.
If Shareholders do not ratify the issued of the first tranche of Shares, the Shares will still have been issued but the Company's capacity to issue further securities will be limited for the next year.
CDI Holders (investors trading on ASX)
Shares in the Company cannot be traded on ASX. Instead, CDIs representing Shares were issued to investors participating in the Proposed Placement who wished to trade on ASX.
A CDI is a financial product quoted on ASX. CDIs represent an interest in the underlying Share in the Company. This allows investors to trade interests in Shares in the Company by trading the relevant CDIs on ASX. Each CDI represents one Share and confers a beneficial interest in that Share. CDIs are held by CDN on behalf of the holders of CDIs. CDIs are quoted and traded on ASX in Australian dollars. They will not be listed or traded on TSX.
The rights attaching to CDIs are economically equivalent to the rights attaching to Shares, and the Company will generally be required to treat holders of CDIs as if they were the holders of the Shares represented by those CDIs. This means that economic benefits such as dividends, bonus issues and rights issues will generally flow through to holders of CDIs as if they were the registered holders of the underlying Shares.
About the Projects
Detailed geological descriptions of the Company's projects are included in the Company's December 2014 quarterly
report which is available on the Company's website, ASX platform (ASX:RTG) and the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
Mabilo Project
The Mabilo Project is located in Camarines Norte Province, Eastern Luzon, Philippines. It is comprised of one granted Exploration Permit and one Exploration Permit Application.
Extensive drilling has been undertaken during 2014 in the North and South directions. Drilling is ongoing and ninety diamond drill holes have been completed at the end of the December 2014 quarter with further drilling ongoing.
Work has continued on the Definitive Feasibility Study during the December 2014 quarter. Along with the metallurgical test work, work was conducted on environmental studies, community development and infrastructure studies. The Definitive Feasibility Study remains on track for completion in the third quarter of 2015.
Bunawan Project
The Bunawan Project is located approximately 5 kilometres North-East of Medusa Mining's Co-O mine in eastern Mindanao, Philippines.
Following the granting of the Exploration Permit for Bunawan in August 2014, the Company commenced a reconnaissance drilling program in November 2014. At the end of that quarter, 9 holes had been completed for 3,074 metres. Mineralisation was intercepted in 6 of the 9 holes drilled, including 7m @ 4.18g/t Au and 4m @ 12.33g/t Au.

- in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- as the Chair of the meeting in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
ITEM 2 APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF THE SECOND TRANCHE OF SHARES UNDER THE PROPOSED PLACEMENT
Background
On 10 February 2015, the Company announced the Proposed Placement.
The first tranche of Shares was issued on 18 February 2015 within the Company's 15% Capacity and so no Shareholder approval was required.
The issue of the second tranche of Shares would breach the Company's 15% Capacity and is therefore subject to Shareholder approval.
The portion of the Proposed Placement subscribed for by participants who wish to trade Shares on TSX has been satisfied by the issue of Units, which include the Subscription Receipts.
Purpose of approval
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a Company must not issue more than the 15% Capacity within a 12 month period unless a specified exception applies or the issue is made with prior Shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue made by the Company (without Shareholder approval) to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that:
- it is subsequently ratified by Shareholders at a general meeting; and
- the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time it was made.
If Shareholders do not approve Item 2 then the second tranche of Shares under the Proposed Placement will not be issued and any funds held by the Company in respect of those Shares will be returned to participants and the Company may need to seek alternative funding sources in order to progress the Company's projects and to ensure that the Company has sufficient working capital.
TSX Participants – Subscription Receipts
On 18 February 2015 the Company issued Subscription Receipts to participants in the Proposed Placement trading on the TSX.
The Subscription Receipts represent the portion of the second tranche of Shares subscribed for by participants trading on TSX.
Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercisable and entitle the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, one Share upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions.
The portion of the gross proceeds attributable to the Subscription Receipts is held in escrow pending Shareholder approval and satisfaction of the escrow release conditions.
The escrow release conditions, among other things, will include the receipt of all required Shareholder and regulatory approvals (including approval of the second tranche of Shares by Shareholders and approval of the Proposed Placement by TSX).
If the escrow release conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on April 30, 2015 or other time as agreed by the Company and its North American Agent, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and an amount equal to the subscription price attributable to the Subscription Receipts shall be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.
