RE: RTG Mining Inc. (“RTG”) Price Query
Dear Ms Coupe,
Thank you for your letter dated 27 November 2019, which was sent to us at 8.22 AWST. Since then, the share price has traded from a high of $0.12 (and referred to in your letter) and current share price of $0.105, at the time of writing this letter.
RTG responds as follows to the information requested by the ASX in its letter dated 27 November 2019:
1. Is RTG aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities?
Response: No. Refer to further comments in paragraph 3.
2. If the answer to question 1 is “yes”.
- a. Is RTG relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce that information under Listing Rule 3.1? Please note that the recent trading in RTG’s securities would suggest to ASX that such information may have ceased to be confidential and therefore RTG may no longer be able to rely on Listing Rule 3.1A. Accordingly, if the answer to this question is “yes”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss the situation.
Response: Not applicable.
- b. Can an announcement be made immediately? Please note, if the answer to this question is “no”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss requesting a trading halt (see below).
Response: Not applicable.
- c. If an announcement cannot be made immediately, why not and when is it expected that an announcement will be made?
Response: Not applicable.
3. If the answer to question 1 is “no”, is there any other explanation that RTG may have for the recent trading in its securities?
Response: RTG is aware that it was referenced in a Reuters article dated November 26, 2019 in relation to the Panguna Gold and Copper Mine in Bougainville. Available on RTG’s website. It is possible that the trading in RTG’s securities may relate to the broader awareness created by this article on Reuters of the successful and peaceful Referendum process currently being conducted in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
4. Please confirm that RTG is complying with the Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1
Response: RTG considers that all material price sensitive information has been announced and that it is in compliance with ASX Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1.
5. Please confirm that RTG’s responses to the questions above have been authorised and approved under its published continuous disclosure policy or otherwise by its board or an officer of RTG with delegated authority from the board to respond to ASX on disclosure matters.
Response: RTG confirms responses have been authorised and approved by an officer of RTG with delegated authority from the board to response to ASX on disclosure matters.
Yours sincerley Ryan Eadie Company Secretary

and it does not fall within the exceptions mentioned in Listing Rule 3.1A, RTG’s obligation is to disclose the information “immediately”. This may require the information to be disclosed before the deadline set out in the previous paragraph.
ASX reserves the right to release a copy of this letter and your response on the ASX Market Announcements Platform under Listing Rule 18.7A. Accordingly, your response should be in a form suitable for release to the market. Your response should be sent to me by e-mail at [email protected] . It should not be sent directly to the ASX Market Announcements Office. This is to allow me to review your response to confirm that it is in a form appropriate for release to the market, before it is published on the ASX Market Announcements Platform.
Listing Rules 3.1 and 3.1A
Listing Rule 3.1 requires a listed entity to give ASX immediately any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s securities. Exceptions to this requirement are set out in Listing Rule 3.1A. In responding to this letter, you should have regard to RTG’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.1 and 3.1A and also to Guidance Note 8 Continuous Disclosure: Listing Rules 3.1 – 3.1B . It should be noted that RTG’s obligation to disclose information under Listing Rule 3.1 is not confined to, nor is it necessarily satisfied by, answering the questions set out in this letter.
Trading halt
If you are unable to respond to this letter by the time specified above, or if the answer to question 1 is “yes” and an announcement cannot be made immediately, you should discuss with us whether it is appropriate to request a trading halt in RTG’s securities under Listing Rule 17.1. If you wish a trading halt, you must tell us:
-
the reasons for the trading halt;
-
how long you want the trading halt to last;
-
the event you expect to happen that will end the trading halt;
-
that you are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted; and
-
any other information necessary to inform the market about the trading halt, or that we ask for.
We may require the request for a trading halt to be in writing. The trading halt cannot extend past the commencement of normal trading on the second day after the day on which it is granted.
You can find further information about trading halts in Guidance Note 16 Trading Halts & Voluntary Suspensions .
Suspension
If you are unable to respond to this letter by the time specified above ASX will likely suspend trading in RTG’s securities under Listing Rule 17.3.
Enquiries
If you have any queries or concerns about any of the above, please contact me immediately.
