Dear Sandra

RE: APPENDIX 3Y

I refer to your letter dated 21 January 2014 in relation to the late lodgement of the Appendix 3Y notice for Mr Michael Smith and provide the following answers to your queries.

  1. The Company is aware of its obligation to comply with ASX Listing Rules, however acknowledges the Appendix 3Y was lodged later than the timeframe set out in listing rule 3.19A. The timing of the Appendix 3Y was late due to an oversight as the Director was overseas at the time of acquisition.

  2. The Company has reiterated to directors their obligations under listing rule 3.19A. All Directors are aware they are immediately to alert the Company Secretary if any securities in the Company are bought or sold by them or any entities in which they have an interest;

The compliance managers will review the daily net movement report for the Company’s securities as a backup mechanism for ensuring changes in Directors’ interests are identified and reported under Listing Rule 3.19B obligations. In addition, the compliance manager will continue to reinforce the requirement for all changes in notifiable interests in securities be advised to the Company Secretary on the date of trade.

  1. The company believes the current arrangements are adequate and that the recent late lodgement was an unfortunate oversight, and does not believe additional steps, other than point 2 above, need to be taken to comply with listing rule 3.19B.

Yours Faithfully,

David Palumbo

Company Secretary

Dear David

Rumble Resources Limited (the “Company”)

We refer to the following:

  1. The Company’s announcement lodged with ASX Ltd (“ASX”) on 21 January 2014 regarding a change of director’s interest notice for Mr Michael Smith (“Appendix 3Y”).

  2. Listing rule 3.19A which requires an entity to tell ASX the following:

    • 3.19A.1 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the following times:

      • On the date that the entity is admitted to the official list.

      • On the date that a director is appointed.

The entity must complete an Appendix 3X and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the entity’s admission or a director’s appointment.

  • 3.19A.2 A change to a notifiable interest of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust). The entity must complete an Appendix 3Y and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the change occurs.

  • 3.19A.3 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the date that the director ceases to be a director. The entity must complete an Appendix 3Z and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the director ceases to be a director.

  1. Listing rule 3.19B which states as follows.

An entity must make such arrangements as are necessary with a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) to ensure that the director discloses to the entity all the information required by the entity to give ASX completed Appendices 3X, 3Y and 3Z within the time period allowed by listing rule 3.19.A. The entity must enforce the arrangements with the director.

  1. The Companies Update dated 27 June 2008, reminding listed entities of their obligation to notify ASX within 5 business days of the notifiable interests in securities held by each director and outlining the action that ASX would take in relation to breaches of listings rules 3.19A and 3.19B.

As the Appendix 3Y indicates changes in Mr McBain’s notifiable interest occurred on 8 January 2014 and 10 January 2014 an Appendix 3Y should have been lodged with the ASX by 15 January 2014 and 17 January 2014, respectively. As the Appendix 3Y was lodged on 21 January 2014 it appears that the Company may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.

Please note that ASX is required to record details of breaches of the listing rules by listed companies for its reporting requirements.

ASX reminds the Company of its contract with ASX to comply with the listing rules. In the circumstances ASX considers that it is appropriate that the Company make necessary arrangements to ensure there is not a reoccurrence of a breach of the listing rules.

Having regard to listing rules 3.19A and 3.19B and Guidance Note 22: “Director Disclosure of Interests and Transactions in Securities - Obligations of Listed Entities”, we ask that you answer each of the following questions.

  1. Please explain why the Appendix 3Y was lodged late.

  2. What arrangements does the Company have in place with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.19A?

  3. If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does the Company intend to take to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B?

Your response should be sent to me by e-mail to [email protected] or by facsimile on facsimile number +61 8 9221 2020. It should not be sent to the Company Announcements Office.

A response is requested as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 3:00 pm WST on Thursday, 23 January 2014 .

Under listing rule 18.7A, a copy of this query and your response will be released to the market, so your response should be in a form suitable for release and must separately address each of the questions asked. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me immediately.

Yours sincerely,

[sent electronically without signature]

Adviser, Listings Compliance (Perth)
