If approved, each Related Party will receive a Financial Benefit under Resolutions 4 – 7 and Resolution 13. Therefore, the Company makes the following disclosure under the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
1.1 ASX Listing Rules

1.2 Corporations Act
For the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act, Resolutions 4 – 7 and Resolution 13 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Securities and Baker Convertible Notes and Baker Convertible Shares as set out in the Related Party Allocation Table above.
2. The Resolutions and Explanation
Resolutions 4 – 7 are required for the purpose of enabling LNY to complete its capital raising of up to $600,000 via a share issue of up to 200 million shares at an issue price of $0.003 per share (a 20% premium to the 10 day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of LNY Shares on ASX as at 16 October 2014). The Company intends to issue 66,666,666 shares to the Related Parties in accordance with the Related Party Allocation Table ( Capital Raising ). These are being issued on the same terms as per issues to other non-related parties.
The Capital Raising will enable the Company to advance its Agate Creek Gold Project, New Zealand Gold and NSW Coal Projects as well as provide general working capital. Specifically, funds and drilling activities will be primarily directed towards LNY’s 100% owned Agate Creek Gold Project. In addition to undertaking up to a 5,000 metre drilling program, the Company will also continue the work required to apply for a mining lease over part of the Company’s Agate Creek tenement area.
The successful grant of the mining lease will enable the Company to initially conduct a larger metallurgical sample of up to 40,000 tonnes to further investigate potential process route and gold recovery refinements. This follows the 5,472 tonne metallurgical sample taken from the project earlier this year, from which 1,725 ounces of gold were successfully recovered.
Resolutions 4 – 7 seek Shareholder approval of issue of the Shares as set out in the Related Party Allocation Table. The Company has placed 80,643,528 shares to unrelated parties, the approval of which is set out in Resolution 8 while Resolution 14 seeks approval for an additional 52,689,805 shares to be placed to unrelated parties.
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval of the Baker Convertible Notes and upon their conversion, the issue of the Baker Convertible Shares to Mr Mark Baker as set out in the Related Party Allocated Table. Further details of the unlisted Convertible Notes are set out in Resolution 11.
3. Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits the issue of or the agreement to issue securities to a Related Party of a company unless the approval of the shareholders of the company is obtained.
Listing Rule 7.1 broadly prohibits a company from issuing more than 15% of its shares in any one year without shareholder approval. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), if Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, further approval is not required for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

4. Corporations Act Requirements
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of Financial Benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a Financial Benefit to a related party unless one of the exceptions to Section 208 applies, or shareholders have approved the giving of that benefit to the related party.
A ‘Financial Benefit’ is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes a public company, issuing securities, and buying an asset from a related party.
Each of Messrs Bizzell, Baker and Anthon (being current Directors) and Harrison (being a former Director within the last 6 months) is a ‘related party’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act. The proposed issue of 66,666,666 Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4 – 7 involves the provision of a Financial Benefit to related parties of the Company. Further, the issue of 48,000,000 Baker Convertible Notes and the proposed issue of the Baker Convertible Shares upon conversion of the Baker Convertible Notes pursuant Resolution 13 involves the provision of a Financial Benefit to Related Parties of the Company.
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a Financial Benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of members in the way set out in Section 217 to 222; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.
In accordance with Chapter 2E, and in particular section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Related Party Securities as contemplated by Resolutions 4 – 7 and Baker Convertible Notes and Baker Convertible Shares as contemplated by Resolution 13.
Table 3 – ASIC Disclosure Requirements
| Item | Related Party Disclosure |
|---|---|
| Name of person/entity to receive the Related Party Securities |
Please refer to Table 2 “ASX Listing Rule 10.13 Requirements” above, which sets out the name of the Related Party receiving the Financial Benefit and an explanation of the nature of the related party relationship. |
| The nature of the Financial Benefit and reasons for giving the benefit and the basis on which it is given |
For Resolutions 4 – 7, the Financial Benefit proposed to be given is the ability to subscribe for a total of up to 66,666,666 Shares as detailed above, in consideration of the payment of $0.003 per Share, raising up to $200,000 for the Company under the Capital Raising. The Related Party Securities and the Convertible Notes (which are convertible into shares on a 1:1 basis) are issued in exchange for the payment of subscription funds and the Related Parties are participating on the same terms as other third parties and also at a premium to the Company’s share price at the time of announcing the respective raisings and to the share price as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The issues are a suitable form of funding in this transaction as it allows the Company to raise the required capital to advance its Agate Creek Gold Project, including further drilling and application for a mining lease. A successful grant of the mining lease would enable the Company to conduct a larger metallurgical sample to further investigatepotential |

| process routes and gold recover refinements. The Related Party Securities are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.003 per Share, which is a 20% premium to the 10 day VWAP of LNY Shares as at 16 October 2014. For Resolution 13, the Financial Benefit proposed to be given is the issue of 48,000,000 Baker Convertible Notes in consideration of the payment of $0.0025 per note, raising $120,000 for the Company and the ability to convert the Baker Convertible Notes into up to 48,000,000 Shares. The Baker Convertible Notes were issued at an issue price of $0.0025 per Note, which represented a 25% premium to Laneways last closing price of $0.002 per Share at 31 July 2014. Refer to Section 5 for details of the proposed consideration to be paid for the Related Party Securities and the Baker Convertible Shares. |
|
| Directors’ recommendation and basis of recommendation |
Each of the Directors’ recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 – 7 and 13 as they consider the fundraising from these transactions to be in the best interests of the Company. Mr Stephen Bizzell will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares. Mr Mark Baker will be excluded from voting on Resolutions 5 and 13 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares. Mr Richard Anthon will be excluded from voting on Resolution 6 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares. The reason for this recommendation is that the Capital Raising is the most efficient way for the Company to raise the required capital to advance its Agate Creek Gold Project. The Company has attempted to source the funding through non-related entities and whilst it has secured the funds under the Drilling Funding Agreement (detailed in respect of Resolution 10 of this Explanatory Memorandum), the Company requires additional funding to develop its flagship project and for ongoing working capital requirements. Therefore, in the absence of any superior proposal, the Directors’ recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 – 7 and Resolution 13. |

| Directors’ interest in the outcome |
The Director’s will have the following interest in the outcome: | |||
| Mr Stephen Bizzell | 33,333,333 Shares | |||

|||
| Mr Richard Anthon | 8,333,333 Shares | |||
| Valuation of Financial Benefit equivalent to VWAP |
The Financial Benefit which is being provided by the Company to the Related Parties under Resolutions 4 – 7 is up to 66,666,666 Shares. The value of these Shares, at the issue price of $0.003 which totals $200,000, being the amount to be paid. During the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice, the VWAP for shares traded on the ASX in the Company is $0.0036. Based on this the 66,666,666 Shares would have a value of $240,000. Based on the 5 day VWAP for shares traded on the ASX in the Company immediately prior to the date of this Notice of $0.00258, the 66,666,666 Shares would have a value of $172,000. The Financial Benefit which is being provided by the Company to the Related Parties under Resolutions 13 is up to 48,000,000 unlisted Baker Convertible Notes and Shares to be issued upon conversion. The value of the unlisted Baker Convertible Notes and Baker Convertible Shares, the issue price of $0.0025 paid for the Baker Convertible Notes, totals $120,000. During the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice, the VWAP for shares traded on the ASX in the Company is $0.0036. Based on this the 48,000,000 Baker Convertible Notes and Baker Convertible Shares would each have a value of $172,800. Based on the 5 day WVAP for shares traded on the ASX in the Company immediately prior to the date of this Notice of $0.00258, the 48,000,000 Baker Convertible Notes and the Baker Convertible Shares would each have a value of $123,840. |

| Dilution | The 66,666,666 Related Party Securities and the 48,000,000 Baker Convertible Shares comprise together a total of 114,666,667 Shares. The Baker Convertible Notes are not ordinary shares and therefore do not dilute the shareholding of other Shareholders. If the 114,666,667 Shares were to be issued in isolation and ignoring any other issue of Shares that might occur, the effect of the issue of the 114,666,667 Shares to the Related Parties will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 6.99%. The dilutive effect of Resolutions 4 – 7 and Resolution 13 is considered in more detail at Section 5 below. |

If Shareholders approve:
-
the issue of the Related Party Securities;
-
the issue of the Baker Convertible Notes; and
-
the issue the Baker Convertible Shares upon conversion, and
-
the Related Parties participate to their maximum allowances,
the issue is anticipated to have a minimal negative dilutionary impact on all other Shareholders’ holdings in the Company by comparison to current percentage holdings overall (NB: this assumes that all other Resolutions 4 – 7 and 13 are approved and all relevant shares are issued and no balance unlisted Convertible Notes (112,000,000) are exercised prior to the date of issue). The issue will result in a dilution of all other Shareholder holdings in the Company of approximately 6.99% in total.
At the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, the issued Share capital of LNY is 1,471,392,067. The table below sets out the issued capital of LNY if the issue of the Related Party Securities, the Baker Convertible Notes and the Baker Convertible Shares is approved and Related Parties subscribe for the maximum amount and no other securities (including the securities proposed to be issued under any other Resolution) are issued by the Company in the meantime.

As noted in Table 3 above, each of the Directors’ recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 – 7 and Resolution 13.
Mr Stephen Bizzell will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares.
Mr Mark Baker will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5 and Resolution 13 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares.
Mr Richard Anthon will be excluded from voting on Resolution 6 because he is a Related Party for the purpose of that Resolution, as he will benefit (either directly or through an associated entity) from the issue of Shares.
All Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

RESOLUTIONS 8 - 9 RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES
==> picture [460 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Background
In the 12 months preceding this Notice, the Company has issued:
-
12,150,056 Shares at the price of $0.002659 on 11 September 2014; and
-
80,643,528 Shares at the price of $0.003 on 23 October 2014;
(together the Placement Securities or Placements ).
The Shares issued on 11 September 2014 were issued as payment for services in lieu of cash payments that the Company otherwise may have been required to expend. The Placements on 23 October 2014 raised $241,931 for the Company comprising part of the capital raising announced by LNY on 16 October 2014.
The Placements were issued by LNY pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rules
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, Resolutions 8 and 9 seek ratification by Shareholders of the issue of the Placement Securities.
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues), from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities representing more than 15% of the Company’s total issued securities, during a rolling 12 month period, without Shareholder approval ( 15% Threshold ).
Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of equity securities, for which Shareholder approval was not first obtained, to not be counted towards the 15% Threshold when Shareholder approval for that issue is subsequently obtained.
That is, Listing Rule 7.4 permits an issue of Shares to be approved retrospectively. It provides that an issue of Equity Securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval if ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the securities were issued and Shareholders subsequently approve (ratify) the issue. The Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Placement Securities were issued and now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Securities.
By Shareholders approving Resolutions 8 and 9 the Board is given the flexibility to issue more Equity Securities up to the 15% Threshold over the next 12 month period. Once the issue of the Placement Securities is approved, these securities will not be counted for the purposes of the 15% Threshold.

Specifically, funds and drilling activities will be primarily directed towards LNY’s 100% owned Agate Creek Gold Project. In addition to undertaking up to a 5,000 metre drilling program, the Company will also continue the work required to apply for a mining lease over part of the Company’s Agate Creek tenement area. The successful grant of the mining lease will enable the Company to initially conduct a larger metallurgical sample of up to 40,000 tonnes to further investigate potential process route and gold recovery refinements. This follows the 5,472 tonne metallurgical sample taken from the project earlier this year, from which 1,725 ounces of gold were successfully recovered. |

Impact of Shareholder approval
Importantly, Shareholders should note that:
-
a) Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Placement Securities; and
-
b) if Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolutions 8 and 9 the Placements will not be impacted or changed.
The impact of Shareholder approval for Resolutions 8 and 9 will be the extent to which the Company’s 15% Threshold is refreshed. For example, if:
-
a) Resolutions 8 and 9 are approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be refreshed and assuming no other Equity Securities are issued and that no convertible notes are converted, the Company will be able to issue an additional 220,708,810 new Shares without Shareholder approval and without relying on any exceptions to the 15% Threshold;
-
b) Resolutions 8 and 9 are not approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed and assuming no other Equity Securities are issued and that no convertible notes are converted, the Company may not be able to issue any additional Shares in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval, unless one of the exceptions to the 15% Threshold applies under Listing Rule 7.2; and
-
c) If either but not both of Resolutions 8 and 9 are approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will only be refreshed to the extent to which approval is granted, unless one of the exceptions to the 15% Threshold applies under Listing Rule 7.2.
Voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice of Meeting.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 8 and 9.

1. Introduction
For the purpose of listing Rule 7.1, we are seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 10 referred to in the accompanying Notice.
2. The Resolution and Explanation
In addition to the Capital Raising, the Company has also entered into a Drilling Funding Agreement with Etheridge Operations Pty Ltd for up to $0.35 million worth of drilling and associated activities to continue to develop the projects and meet strategic goals ( Drilling Funding Agreement ). Resolution 10 is proposed to approve the issue of Shares under the Drilling Funding Agreement.
Specifically, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares to Etheridge Operations Pty Ltd or its nominees ( Etheridge ) pursuant to the Drilling Funding Agreement ( Etheridge Shares ). If Shareholder approval is not obtained, Shares under the Drilling Funding Agreement will need to be issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, which allows the Company to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary Share capital without Shareholder approval during the following 12 month period.
If Shareholders approve the issue of the Etheridge Shares, LNY’s Placement Capacity and LNY’s Board will have the flexibility to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold over the following 12 month period. On the basis that Shareholder approval for this Resolution 10 is obtained, the issue of the Etheridge Shares will not be counted as a new issue for the purposes of the 15% Threshold.

RESOLUTION 11 APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF UNLISTED CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THE PROPOSED ISSUE OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED UPON THE UNLISTED CONVERTIBLE NOTES BEING CONVERTED
==> picture [460 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
1. Introduction
For the purpose of listing Rule 7.1, we are seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 11 referred to in the accompanying Notice.
2. The Resolution and Explanation
On 31 July 2014, the Company announced a capital raising of $0.4 million via the issue of convertible notes to raise new funds to continue to develop Laneway’s project and meet its strategic goals..
160,000,000 convertible notes were issued with an issue price of $0.0025 per note ( Issue Price ) with a one year term ( Convertible Note ), convertible on a one for one basis into fully paid ordinary shares in Laneway ( Convertible Shares ). The Issue Price represented a 25% premium to Laneways last closing price at $0.002 per Convertible Share as at 31 July 2014.
Please note : The 160,000,000 Convertible Notes issued on 31 July 2014 included 48,000,000 Convertible Notes issued to Mr Mark Baker who was not a Related Party at the time of their issue. Mr Baker is now a Related Party and so specific shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of the Baker Convertible Notes and Baker Convertible Shares (upon conversion) pursuant to Resolution 13 set out in the Notice.
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the approval of the 160,000,000 unlisted Convertible Notes and the proposed issue of up to a maximum of 112,000,000 Convertible Shares upon conversion, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. Refer to Annexure B for the terms of the unlisted Convertible Notes.
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues and bonus issues) LNY from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities representing more than its 15% Threshold.
By virtue of Shareholders approving the issue of the Convertible Shares, LNY’s Placement Capacity will not be affected and LNY’s Board will have the flexibility to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold over the following 12 month period.
On the basis that Shareholder approval for this Resolution 11 is obtained, the proposed issue of the Converted Shares will not be counted as a new issue for the purpose of the 15% Threshold.
3. Listing Rule Requirements
3.1 Information required by the Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the information listed below be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1:

| Use of funds | The funds raised through the issue of the Convertible Notes enabled the Company to advance its Agate Creek Gold, New Zealand Gold and NSW Coal Projects as well as provide general working capital. |
3.2 Related party information
As noted above, of the total 160,000,000 unlisted Convertible Notes issued on 31 July 2014, 48,000,000 were issued to Mr Mark Baker. At the time of issue Mark Baker was not a Related Party of the Company. The approval for the issue of and Shares to be issued upon conversion of those unlisted Convertible Notes is set out in Resolution 13.
The remaining 112,000,000 Convertible Notes were not issued to Related Parties and the commensurate number of Convertible Shares to be issued upon conversion are not proposed to be issued to any Related Parties without prior approval of the Company’s Shareholders as required under the Listing Rules.
3.3 Impact of Shareholder approval
Importantly, Shareholders should note that:
- Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Convertible Notes (on changed
36
terms simultaneous on this approval being granted) and, upon their conversion, the issue of the Convertible Shares; and
- if Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 11, the issue of the Convertible Shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes will not be impacted or changed, assuming there is available Placement Capacity.
The impact of Shareholder approval for Resolution 11 will be the extent to which the Company’s 15% Threshold is refreshed.
Accordingly, if:
-
Resolution 11 is approved , the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be refreshed to the extent of the 112,000,000 Equity Securities approved for issue. The Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be refreshed and assuming no other Equity Securities are issued and that no new convertible notes are converted, the Company will be able to issue an additional 220,708,810 new Shares without Shareholder approval and without relying on any exceptions to the 15% Threshold;
-
Resolution 11 is not approved , the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed to the extent of the 112,000,000 Equity Securities.

In addition, if Resolution 11 is not approved, the Company is obliged to redeem the unlisted Convertible Notes to the extent they cannot be converted without breaching Listing Rule 7.1 and must repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the holders of the relevant proportion of the Convertible Notes.
Voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice.
4. Recommendation
No members of the Board have any personal interests in the outcome of Resolution 11.
Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11. Each Director intends to vote all Shares they own or control the right to vote in favour of Resolution 11.

RESOLUTION 12 APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
==> picture [460 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
1. Overview
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued Share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 12 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 12.
2. Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two (2) classes of Equity Securities, being Shares and unlisted convertible notes.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
‘A’ is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an
38
issue of fully paid Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
(iv) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
‘ D’ is 10%;
‘ E ’ is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 1,471,392,067 Shares. The Company therefore has a capacity to issue:
(i) 220,708,810 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(ii) 147,139,207 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 2(c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
(ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
39
3. Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 12 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 12 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4. Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 12 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table shows:
-
(iii) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(iv) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) No Equity Securities are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iii) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(iv) The issue price is $0.004, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 October 2014.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 12 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) for cash consideration, in which case the Company may use the funds raised towards making (or to securing the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects; and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of (or securing the right to make acquisitions of) new projects and investments or to further its existing projects. In
41
such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issues of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.
- (e) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an Associate of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
-
(f) The Company has not previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

RESOLUTION 14 APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER THE CAPITAL RAISING
==> picture [460 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
1. Introduction
For the purpose of listing Rule 7.1, we are seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 14 referred to in the accompanying Notice.
2. The Resolution and Explanation
The Company placed 80,643,528 Shares under the Capital Raising to various Exempt Investors unrelated to the Company on 23 October 2014. Resolution 14 is proposed to approve the balance issue of Shares under the Capital Raising to various Exempt Investors to raise up to $158,070.
Specifically, Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to a maximum of 52,689,805 Shares to various Exempt Investors or their nominees pursuant to the Capital Raising ( Balance Shares ).
If Shareholder approval is not obtained, the Balance Shares will need to be issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, which allows the Company to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary Share capital without Shareholder approval during the following 12 month period.
If Shareholders approve the issue of the Balance Shares, LNY’s Placement Capacity and LNY’s Board will have the flexibility to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold over the following 12 month period. On the basis that Shareholder approval for this Resolution 14 is obtained, the issue of the Balance Shares will not be counted as a new issue for the purposes of the 15% Threshold.
3. Listing Rule Requirements
3.1 Information required by the Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the information listed below be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1:

43
| Item | Information |
|---|---|
| Use of funds | As per Resolution 8, the proceeds of the issue will enable the Company to advance its Agate Creek Gold Project, New Zealand Gold and NSW Coal Projects as well as provide general working capital. Specifically, funds and drilling activities will be primarily directed towards LNY’s 100% owned Agate Creek Gold Project. In addition to undertaking up to a 5,000 metre drilling program, the Company will also continue the work required to apply for a mining lease over part of the Company’s Agate Creek tenement area. The successful grant of the mining lease will enable the Company to initially conduct a larger metallurgical sample of up to 40,000 tonnes to further investigate potential process route and gold recovery refinements. This follows the 5,472 tonne metallurgical sample taken from the project earlier this year, from which 1,725 ounces of gold were successfully recovered. |
3.2 Impact of Shareholder approval
Importantly, Shareholders should note that:
-
Shareholder approval is required for the issue of the Balance Shares in accordance; however
-
if Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 14, the Balance Shares will be issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, assuming there is available Placement Capacity.
Accordingly, if:
-
Resolution 14 is approved the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be impacted. Assuming no other Equity Securities are issued and that no convertible notes are converted, the Company will be able to issue an additional 220,708,810 new Shares without Shareholder approval in the following 12 months and without relying on any exceptions to the 15% Threshold;
-
Resolution 14 is not approved the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be impacted to the extent of the Balance Shares. The Company will only be able to issue new Shares without Shareholder approval in the following 12 months to the extent of its remaining Placement Capacity.
Voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice.
4. Recommendation
No members of the Board have any personal interests in the outcome of Resolution 14. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14. Each Director intends to vote all Shares they own or control the right to vote in favour of Resolution 10.

The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating the proportion.
