Australian Securities Exchange Limited (“ASX”) Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the prior approval of the shareholders of SBR is required for an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by SBR during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such a ratification is to restore a company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the company without requiring shareholder approval.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - PLACEMENT OF 11 MILLION SHARES

On 25 September 2009, the Company announced it had reached agreement to place 22 million shares at 10 cents each to raise $2.2 million. The 22 million shares to be issued in two tranches:

  • 11 million shares to raise $1.1 million to be issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules; and

  • The remaining 11 million shares to be issued subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company.

Resolution 1 is to approve the second tranche of shares.

In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the placement:

  • a) Number of shares to be allotted: 11,000,000 shares are to be allotted.

  • b) The date by which the shares will be issued: The shares will be issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting.

  • c) Price at which the shares are to be issued: The shares are to be issued at $0.10 each.

  • d) Basis upon which the allottees will be determined: Allottees will be determined at the direction of the Directors and Westar Capital Limited, the holder of an Australian Financial Services Licence but will not be related parties of the Company.

  • e) The terms of the securities:

The shares rank equally in all respects with the existing shares on issue.

  • f) The intended use of the funds raised: The funds raised will enable the Company to actively explore the Ongava Poly-Metallic Project in Namibia and provide additional working capital.

  • g) The dates of allotment: Allotment will occur progressively.

Directors and their associates are not entitled to participate in the placement.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS SHARE ISSUE

This resolution is to ratify the first tranche of 11 million shares.

In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the placement:

  • a) 11,000,000 shares have been allotted.

  • b) The shares were issued at 10 cents each.

  • e) The funds are to enable the Company to actively explore the Ongava Poly-Metallic Project in Namibia and provide additional working capital.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR GRANT OF 8,750,000 OPTIONS

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 8,750,000 Options at an issue price of 0.1 cents per Option, to raise $8,750.00.

This grant of Options was a condition of the underwriting by Westar Capital Ltd of the $2.2 million capital raising and was approved at a meeting of Directors on 23 September 2009. During the 2 months prior to that meeting the share price had not exceeded 10 cents.

In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3 members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the proposed grant of Options pursuant to Resolution 3.

  • a) A maximum of 8,750,000 Options are to be issued.

  • b) The Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting.

  • c) The Options will be issued at 0.1 cents per Option.
