LNY AGM 2021
Page 4
6.2 Information regarding the candidate
Mr Kilgannon has provided the following statement in relation to his nomination. The information provided in the statement has not been edited, verified or substantiated by the Company and the comments made by Mr Kilgannon are not endorsed by the Company.
Statement provided by Mr Kilgannon
I am currently a practising solicitor with over 25 years’ corporate experience in Merchant Banking (including a senior dealer position in the money market and exposure to gold forward sales), Heavy Vehicle operations and Legal practice. I hold a Master of Commerce (Property Investment and Development), Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, Diploma in Law, Associate Diploma of Applied Science (Building), Certificate IV in Assessment & Workplace Training, and Certificate III in Transport & Distribution (Road Transport) and am a member of the Energy & Resources Law Association.
If elected to the Board I will advance the following:
Share Consolidation
Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, a company may consolidate its securities if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting.
LNY urgently needs such a of re-organisation of capital. As the American political strategist Lee Atwater said simply and succinctly: “perception is reality”. Our price, at fractions of a cent, condemns us to being classed as a ‘penny dreadful’ in the eyes of many potential investors.
And worse.
There are further ‘mechanical’ reasons why LNY should consolidate: in my view at 1 for 10.
If an investor wishes to buy LNY presently where the bid is $0.005 and the offer is $0.006, the buyer is faced with a ‘spread’ of 20% to take the offer. 20%, in the current investment environment, represents a good deal more than two years of solid returns on capital. Who wants to start out ‘down’ that much because of the spread?
If we consolidate 1 for 10, then there would be 10 additional price points for the investor, with ‘spreads’ in the region of 2%; entirely more palatable, and the consolidation would not change your share of LNY; how big your ‘slice of the pie’ is so to speak.
The proposed consolidation would not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing shareholders. LNY’s balance sheet and tax position would remain unaltered as a result of the consolidation
As I’ve outlined, it simply makes us more investor friendly.
Reduce the number of Directors on the Board
My view is that, in all the circumstances of LNY’s market capitalization, turnover, business activity and with one eye on the practices of comparable miners on the ASX, LNY would be better served by a Board of 3 Directors.
Clearly Brad (the miner) has a place there, as does Steve (the financier). That leaves one place. This should be filled by a person qualified in the Law. Other senior skills can be engaged as required.
Prioritise processing over drilling
Although encouraged by recent drilling results my view is that LNY should prioritise cashflow over exploration at this point. The funds generated from the last mining campaign need to be applied to the processing options canvassed below rather than expanding the Ore Reserve. There’ll be plenty of time for that later; the second half 2022.
LNY AGM 2021
Page 5
Clean, Green Gold
I take a pragmatic view on the environment. It’s not an issue of ‘believing’ or ‘not believing’ in climate change; and I don’t know if that’s all that relevant here anyway. What I do know is that there is a clear and unstoppable trend towards enterprises such as LNY becoming more environmentally friendly through sustainable practices.
And, as you very well know ‘the trend is your friend’!
The Clean Mining gold recovery process, developed by Australia’s CSIRO, replaces cyanide and mercury with a safer, less hazardous chemical reagent. This alternative gold recovery solution is non-toxic and dissolves fine gold out of ores into a solution, which can then be recovered through further processing.
The gold recovery agent is an inorganic compound – non-toxic, non-flammable and water soluble. While others have identified similar compounds previously, the Clean Mining technology, developed by the CSIRO, is applicable to a range of ores for responsible mining operators.
Clean Mining technology is particularly attractive to socially and environmentally responsible junior producers who don’t want the compliance and rehabilitation costs associated with cyanide (the CIL process than LNY ore processors use). Clean Mining, for example, offers a mobile/transportable and scalable plant design that is ideally suited to small, high-grade deposits that might otherwise be stranded.
In terms of process, there are six stages through to deployment:
-
Feasibility Study
-
Clean Mining works with LNY to undertake a feasibility study of our intended site/s. This considers our site specifics, such as power and water availability, grade and ore type/s, tonnage estimations and more.
-
Laboratory Testing
To determine the right equipment for optimal gold recovery, Clean Mining would conduct laboratory testing of our supplied ore.
- Technology & Equipment
After considering our site and ore qualities, as well as our budget, Clean Mining would recommend the equipment required to support our gold mining operations. Clean mining recommendations would provide details and budget estimates, where relevant, covering:
-
All aspects of plant design.
-
Mining licence approval requirements.
-
Plant installation and commissioning parameters, plus ongoing maintenance, upgrade and refurbishment that should be anticipated.
-
Operating procedures for your specific equipment setup.
-
End of mine plant de-commissioning and re-location requirements.
-
Plant Manufacture & Commissioning
Clean Mining offers a turn-key approach to plant assembly. They manufacture, install, commission and test our plant onsite.
- Know How
Plant and equipment training would be conducted with a Clean Mining staff member or a fully trained contractor in our region. The training covers:
-
Testing processes to review the efficiency of non-toxic gold recovery agent.
-
Plant and equipment operation.
-
Process and procedural documentation.
-
Occupational health, safety and engineering (OHSE) compliance and monitoring.
-
Plant optimisation.
-
Chemical optimisation and re-usability.
-
Mine closure and rehabilitation processes and requirements.
LNY AGM 2021
Page 6
Clean Mining offers comprehensive support for all clients.
- Reagent / Chemicals
Clean Mining would supply the reagent and all other chemicals used in the gold recovery process to our site. The reagent is a premium chemical formulation, tailored to meet our site and ore type to ensure we achieve optimal gold recovery outcomes. The reagent and chemicals would be supplied by Clean Mining for the life of the mine.
If viable for LNY this is a massive positive:
-
Think Federal and State grants.
-
Oodles of positive (and free) media coverage
-
Expand the pool of investors, attracting ethical investors to invest in LNY gold mining and processing
-
From LNY recent tweet: “The company’s plan longer term is to grow the resource beyond 1 million ounces, at which size it should be able to justify the development of a processing plant onsite” These Clean Mining plants can be scaled (and made mobile) to be appropriate for the Ore reserves we have currently, without the need to further prove up the Mineral resource.
-
From LNY 2020 Annual Report: “One of the Whittle run scenarios generated a much larger shell containing 120,000 t of high-grade material at 5.7 g/t Au for 120,000 Oz Au. This size of operation is not currently possible to mine due to the current granted Environmental Authority conditions.” Leverage: one could easily imagine the favourable treatment an application for an expanded Environmental Authority incorporating this technology may receive.
-
From LNY 17 August 2020 ASX Announcement: “Additional environmental studies are currently being undertaken which will facilitate obtaining approval for the necessary amendments.” This process could be incorporated into the studies, on Clean Mining being considered viable.
This does not have to be an either/or to a Georgetown toll processing option or traditional onsite plant.
I would invite the Clean Mining Co/Clean Earth Technologies group to present to the Board of Directors as a matter of priority, so that an informed view could be formed as to viability.
Director’s remuneration
I personally undertake to use all post tax remuneration received by me by virtue of being a LNY director to buy LNY shares during the director trading window period.
This statement is made on the facts disclosed and known to me at 24 December 2021
6.3 Directors’ Recommendation
The Board is unanimously of the belief that it is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that Mr Kilgannon be elected as a Director and recommends that shareholders vote against the nomination of Mr Robert Kilgannon for election as a Director of Laneway.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies against Mr Kilgannon’s election.
