1. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders
The purpose of this Rights Issue is to raise funds to augment the Company’s existing funds, and which will be applied for the following purposes:
-
to continue exploration on the Pernatty mineral exploration licence that Tasman holds in South Australia including completing, and perhaps extending the current drilling programme or undertaking further exploration at Pernatty;
-
to extend working capital to cover operating expenses, assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, through until late 2021 or the first quarter of 2022 and to enable it to continue to support its investments in either or both of Eden and Conico, as the Directors in their discretion may decide is reasonably required.
In September 2020 Tasman invested a further $236,417 in Conico, taking up its entitlement under the Conico Ltd rights issue to fund its highly prospective Greenland exploration programme.
Tasman’s geophysical surveys at Pernatty identified a number of interesting targets for follow up exploration. The original budget for Tasman’s current drilling programme, which commenced on 21 October 2020, was approximately $400,000 but with some cost over runs (due in part to delays caused by heavy rain), and the probability that a greater percentage of the drilling programme may be undertaken using more expensive diamond drilling, which comes with the additional cost of water cartage, the budget is now likely to exceed $600,000. The actual amount expended will depend on both the number of holes that are drilled and metres of diamond drilling required to take the holes to target depth if any of the deeper holes cannot be completed by the cheaper RC drilling method. It is possible that number of holes or metres drilled in this current programme may be increased, in which case additional funds will be required for this purpose.
Currently, all exploration expenditure on Exploration Licence 6416 (that adjoins the Olympic Dam licence, and includes the Vulcan and West Vulcan prospects), is being paid by FMG Resources Pty Ltd pursuant to the terms of a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement entered into on 19 June 2019.
In relation to this current Rights Issue, all of Tasman’s Directors (personally and/or through their associated companies or trusts) have indicated that they currently intend to take up all or some of their Entitlements.
I urge Shareholders to read this Prospectus carefully, and I commend this Rights Issue to you.
Yours sincerely

2.1.2.2 any investor to whom the Directors elect, in their discretion, to place the balance of the Shortfall remaining after the QS Shortfall Offer in section 2.1.2.1 has been completed in accordance with section 2.12.1,
on the terms set out in section 2.12 (the “Shortfall Offers”).
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
All New Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares (see section 7.4 of this Prospectus).
The New Options to be issued under this Prospectus will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Existing TASOE Options, details of which are set out in section 7.5 of this Prospectus.
2.2 Entitlement Offer
As the Entitlement Offer (refer to section 2.1.1 above) is non-renounceable, Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to exercise their Rights to subscribe for some or all of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) being offered to them under this Prospectus may not sell or otherwise transfer those Rights, and those Rights will lapse upon the expiry of the Offer Period.
2.3 Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer
Shareholders who are registered on the Company's Share Register and whose registered addresses are in Australia or New Zealand (Qualifying Shareholders) at the close of business on the Record Date, being 5.00 pm WST on 6 November 2020, are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. An Acceptance Form setting out Qualifying Shareholders’ Entitlements to New Shares and New Options accompanies this Prospectus.
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and accompanying New Options.
2.4 Applications
The Entitlement Offer may be accepted by Qualifying Shareholders in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offer Period or close the Entitlement Offer early.
Instructions for accepting an Entitlement are set out in section 3 of this Prospectus and on the Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.
2.5 Application money
All Qualifying Shareholders who accept the Entitlement Offer made to them in its entirety will receive their Entitlement in full.
New Shares and accompanying New Options will be issued to Qualifying Shareholders only after all of their Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares and New Options to be quoted.
All Application Money received before the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) are issued will be held in a special purpose bank account. After the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) are issued to Qualifying Shareholders, the funds in the account, plus accrued interest, will be received by the Company. All Application Moneys will be returned (without interest) if this Rights Issue is withdrawn or otherwise does not proceed.
If the New Shares and New Options are not admitted to Quotation by ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will refund all Application Moneys in full.

2.6 Issue outside Australia and New Zealand
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any place outside Australia and New Zealand in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue the Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form (including nominees, trustees or custodians) should seek advice on and observe those restrictions. Any failure to comply with those restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
No action has been taken to register the Rights, the New Shares or New Options or this Prospectus or otherwise permit an offering of the New Shares or New Options or the Rights in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand. Without limitation, the Rights and the New Shares and New Options have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or the securities laws of any State of the United States of America and may not be offered in the United States of America or to, or for the account of or benefit of, US persons.
2.7 Treatment of Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand (Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders). This is because the Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend the Offer to Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders having regard to the small number of such Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders, the small number and value of the Securities which would be offered to them, and the cost of complying with the applicable legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, of the applicable jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.
Recipients (including any nominee, trustee or custodian who receives this Prospectus) may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the accompanying Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand (other than to Qualifying Shareholders).
2.8 ASX Quotation of New Shares and New Options The Company will apply to the ASX for the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus to be granted Quotation.
If approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will not allot or issue any New Shares (or accompanying New Options) pursuant to the Offers and will repay all Application Moneys without interest as soon as practicable.
Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that the New Shares and New Options will be issued on 4 December 2020 and that Quotation of the New Shares and New Options will commence on ASX on a normal basis on 7 December 2020. It is the responsibility of all Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares and New Options. Applicants who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before they receive holding statements will do so at their own risk. The Company disclaims all liability in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise to persons who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before receiving holding statements.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that the ASX may approve Quotation of the New Shares and New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares (or accompanying New Options) offered under this Prospectus.
2.9 Allotment of New Shares and New Options
Subject to ASX granting approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options, the allotment of the New Shares and New Options to Qualifying Shareholders will occur as soon as possible after this Rights Issue is closed, following which holding statements setting out the number of New Shares and New Options allotted to Qualifying Shareholders under this Prospectus will be despatched.
2.10 Minimum subscriptions and oversubscriptions
There is no minimum subscription to this Rights Issue, and no oversubscriptions will be accepted.
2.11 Offer Not Underwritten

2.12 Shortfall

7
2.12.1 QS Shortfall Offer to Qualifying Shareholders
Qualifying Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall, regardless of the size of their present holding.
Qualifying Shareholders who wish to participate in the QS Shortfall Offer by applying for New Shares (and accompanying New Options) above their Entitlement, should insert the number of additional New Shares they wish to apply for in that section of the table in the Acceptance Form headed "Number of Shortfall Shares (if any) applied for (in excess of the Entitlement shown above)". The issue price of any New Shares comprising part of the Shortfall shall be $0.04, being the price at which the Rights have been offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus. Any additional New Shares applied for must be paid for in the same manner as the Entitlement Shares are paid for. A single payment should be made for the Application Moneys for any New Shares you have applied for as part of your Entitlement and any additional New Shares applied for as part of the Shortfall. It is an express term of the QS Shortfall Offer that applicants for New Shares comprised in the Shortfall will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) than the number applied for.
The Shortfall will be placed at the discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject (either in whole or in part) any applications for the Shortfall. The Company also reserves the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to allot none of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) applied for by the Applicant. As a result, Qualifying Shareholders who apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement receive no guarantee that they shall receive all or any of those additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) for which they apply. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not receive all or any of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) they apply for under the QS Shortfall Offer, any excess Application Moneys will be returned to them (without interest).
The Directors (whether personally or through their associated companies or trusts) will not apply for any additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) under the QS Shortfall Offer.
2.12.2 Investors
The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place any remaining Shortfall not subscribed for under the QS Shortfall Offer above, at any time within 3 months of the Closing Date, at an issue price of not less than the issue price under the Entitlement Offer, being $0.04 per Share. The offer of the remaining Shortfall under this section 2.12.2 shall remain open under this Prospectus (and may be accepted by any investor who has been offered any portion of the Shortfall by the Directors in their discretion) until the date which is 3 months after the Closing Date.
2.13 Purpose of the Offers
The purpose of the Offers is to raise up to approximately $1,169,169 (before expenses of the Offer). The funds raised under this Rights Issue will be utilised in the manner set out in section 6.5 of this Prospectus.
2.14 Market prices of Existing Shares and Existing TASOE Options on ASX The highest and lowest market sale price of the Existing Shares and Existing TASOE Options during the 3 months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC, and the last market sale price on the business day immediately preceding the lodgement date of this Prospectus, are set out below.

2.15 Opening and Closing Dates
Subscription lists will open on 9 November 2020 and will remain open until 5.00pm WST on 30 November 2020. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may either close the Entitlement Offer at an earlier time and date or extend the closing time and date without prior notice. Qualifying Shareholders are encouraged to submit their Applications as early as possible.
No New Shares or New Options will be issued under this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.
2.16 Indicative timetable Refer to the "Summary of Offer" at the beginning of this Prospectus for an indicative Offer timetable.
2.17 Existing Shares
There are currently 584,584,472 Shares on issue in the Company. If the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, and assuming that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares before the Closing Date, a total of approximately 613,813,696 Shares will be on issue in the Company at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer.
2.18 Existing Options
There are currently 28,312,378 Existing TASOE Options on issue in the Company. If the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, and assuming that none of the Existing TASOE Options are converted to Shares before the Closing Date, a total of approximately 42,926,990 TASOE Options will be on issue in the Company at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer (comprising the 28,312,378 Existing TASOE Options and 14,614,612 New Options issued under the Entitlement Offer).
In addition there are currently 1,000,000 unlisted ESOP Options on issue in the Company (each exercisable at $0.044 at any time on or before 21 September 2023).
2.19 Existing Optionholders
Holders of all of the Existing Options may participate in this Rights Issue by exercising any or all of their Existing Options prior to the Record Date.
All of the Existing Options on issue in the Company are capable of being exercised. If all of these Existing Options were exercised before the Record Date, an additional 29,312,378 Shares would then be issued. In addition, in the event that all of the Rights in respect of these additional Shares were subscribed for, an additional 1,465,619 New Shares (together with 732,810 accompanying New Options) would be issued under this Rights Issue, and a further $58,625 would be raised under this Rights Issue. As the price at which the Company's Shares are currently trading is less than the price at which the Existing Options are exercisable, the Company considers it unlikely that any of the Optionholders will choose to exercise their Existing Options (or some of them) prior to the Record Date.
2.20 Effect on existing Shareholders and Optionholders
For the effect this Rights Issue will have on Shareholders’ and Optionholders’ existing interests, please see section 6.3 of this Prospectus.

4. COMPANY OVERVIEW
4.1 Background
Tasman was incorporated on 30 June 1987 as PF Mining Shelf Co (No 19) NL and changed its name on 2 September 1987 to Tasman Resources NL.
Tasman was admitted to Quotation on the official list of the ASX on 18 December 2001. On 23 January 2009 Tasman changed from a no liability company to a company limited by shares.
Tasman’s wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd (“Noble”), holds 33.27% of the issued shares in ASX listed Eden Innovations Ltd (ASX: EDE), which was admitted to the Official List of the ASX in June 2006. A short summary of Eden’s main project is detailed in section 4.3 of this Prospectus.
Tasman also holds 3 mineral exploration licences in South Australia.
Additionally, Tasman holds 11.49% of the issued shares in Conico Ltd (ASX: CNJ), which was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 14 June 2007. Conico owns 50% of the Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel Project in Western Australia, with the other 50% held by Barra Resources Limited (ASX: BAR). Conico has also entered into an agreement (settlement of which is anticipated to occur on the date of this Prospectus) to acquire 100% of the shares in Longland Resources Ltd (Company No: 1040001), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and Wales, and which owns 100% of the Ryberg Ni-Cu-Co-PGEAu Project and 100% of the Mestersvig (Pb-Zn) Project (in application) in east Greenland.
Further information in relation to Tasman’s mineral projects is contained in section 4.3 of this Prospectus.
4.2 Directors
The current Directors of the Company are:
-
Gregory Howard Solomon, LLB (Executive Chairman)
-
Douglas Howard Solomon, B. Juris (Hons), LLB (Non-Executive Director)

Guy Touzeau Le Page, B.A., B.Sc. (Hons), M.B.A., FFIN, MAusIMM (Non-Executive Director)
4.3 Projects
Investment into Eden Innovations Ltd
Tasman, through Noble, is the largest shareholder in Eden, holding 33.27% of Eden’s shares. Eden’s main project is its EdenCrete® concrete admixture which Eden has developed using carbon nanotubes that it produces in the US using a proprietary pyrolysis process that Eden developed jointly with the University of Queensland and which Eden now owns.
EdenCrete® is being both trialled and sold in the USA and is being trialled in Australia, Europe, India, Israel, Greece and Korea as a concrete additive and it has been shown that it can improve the compressive strength, tensile strength and abrasion resistance of concrete whilst also reducing its permeability.
If the demand for EdenCrete® continues to grow, it is possible that Tasman’s investment in Eden could significantly increase in value.
As Eden is listed on the ASX (ASX Code: EDE), a large amount of information concerning Eden has previously been notified to ASX and is therefore publicly available on ASX’s website.

Mineral Projects Pernatty Project - EL 6137 (Tasman 100%)
The Pernatty Project is located approximately 20km SSE of the IOCG deposit at Carrapateena, within Exploration Licence 6137 (refer Figure 1). The area was initially targeted by Tasman for its potential to host IOCG deposits due to available geophysical data, the possibility of reasonable basement depths and its proximity to Carrapateena. Importantly, Tasman’s regional geological studies identified Pernatty as lying within an interpreted prospective “corridor” containing the most commercially favourable IOCG deposits at Olympic Dam, Wirrda and the three deposits in the Carrapateena area (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: Pernatty Project Location Plan (grid GDA 94, Z53).
Electromagnetic (EM) Survey Results
EM surveying over priority gravity and magnetic targets identified within the Pernatty IOCG project, was completed, including follow up surveys, in December last year. A total of 54.7 line kms were surveyed over the two target areas (refer Figures 1&2). The aim of the survey was to locate anomalous areas of electrical conductivity in the basement that could be due to IOCG associated copper sulphide mineralisation, as well as give information about depth to basement.
Geophysical modelling of the EM data in conjunction with the available gravity and magnetic data has been carried out.
Southern Area
Geophysical modelling has highlighted an EM conductor in the southern area coincident with a gravity and magnetic anomaly (Figures 2 and 3) bounded by interpreted N and NE trending lineaments (Figure 3). Although all components of the coincident magnetic-gravity-conductivity anomaly are weak, the modelling suggests that elevated concentrations of sulphides may occur between about 250 and 500m depth.

Yellow circles in north area are approx. locations of modelled steeply dipping conductive plates. White circles are locations of small coincident gravity-magnetic-TEM anomalies. Overall dimensions of EM anomalies in north area unknown. Grid GDA 94 Z53.
Conductivity depth images (CDI’s, Figure 4a) suggest that conductive rocks occur at around 300m and are separate from shallow highly conductive material, probably saline aquifers, in the cover. The EM conductor is shown as Plate 07 in the TEM model (Figure 4b). Modelled dimensions are around 800m long and 700m wide, similar to that of the gravity anomaly. The gravity and magnetic components of the coincident anomaly are interpreted to represent felsic rocks with about 5% dense non-magnetic minerals such as hematite and sulphides with less than 0.1% magnetite. The data suggests that it is not likely to be an iron rich IOCG system, however the intersecting deeply-weathered regional lineaments suggest a possible zone of dilation, giving it a potentially interesting address.

Northern Area
Two steeply dipping conductive sheets (Figures 2, 5 a&b) have been interpreted on the southern most line in the northern area. Their high conductances suggest that they might represent sulphides in steeply dipping faults or fractures, presumably within the cover rocks, however graphite as a source of the conductivity cannot be ruled out. The top centre of Plate 1 in the model is at (751010E, 6523250N) at 53m depth and is very close to vertical. The top of Plate 2 in the model is at (751540E, 6523250N) and 103 metres depth. While these TEM anomalies appear on either flank of a north-south gravity high there are no gravity data points within 200m of this southernmost TEM line. The gravity high is inferred by interpolation.

Two small coincident magnetic -gravity -TEM highs have also been identified in the northern area at approx. 370 and 400m depth:
Body 1
Just enough of this feature is seen at the north end of north-south TEM line 751400E to permit construction of a plate-in-host TEM model whose profiles and CDI response, shown in Figure 6a&b, suggest that the maximum conductivity occurs at about 370m depth (Plate 01). This is associated with weak but coincident magnetic (2 nT) and gravity (0.2 mGal) highs. Modelling suggests less than 0.1% magnetite and 15% of a dense non-magnetic component such as hematite and sulphides. Due to the associated electrical conductivity the 15 percent estimate for the hematite and sulphide component may represent more sulphides than hematite.
Body 2
A residual gravity high at (752000E, 6524000N) coincides with a residual magnetic high, and both anomalies occur barely 150m west of a conductivity anomaly seen in the eastern end of the CDI for line 6524000N (Figure 7). The residual magnetic and gravity high can be simulated using a body with the properties of felsic rock with 5.5% percent hematite and sulphides and less than 1% magnetite.

New EM Data Analysis and Modelling in the Northern Area
Previous geophysical modelling of the EM data from Line 6524000N in the northern area of the tenement (refer Figure 8) in conjunction with the available gravity and magnetic data was reviewed by Tasman’s consultant geophysicist after analysis of what was previously thought to be spurious EM data along one of the surveyed lines.
An anomalous segment of EM survey line 6524000N (refer Figure 8) between 751100E and 751600E was resurveyed by the contractor in December, 2019, only to find, that some of the anomalous effects were no longer obvious and normal polarization-free readings were observed. The geophysical report was written assuming that the second data set was correct and the earlier one was spurious; however, a question remained regarding the veracity of the data. Logically, one or the other, or both surveys seemingly had to be wrong and after a thorough analysis Tasman’s consultant geophysicist believes that both may have been correct but subject to different conditions.

The geophysicist believed that the anomalous readings on the first survey were most likely due to polarisation effects due to a higher current in a two turn transmitter loop which was not detected by the second survey which may have used only a one turn loop and hence a lower transmitter current (AMIRA TEM format does not include provision for recording the number of turns in a transmitter loop).
Modelling of the EM results from the first survey on Line 6524000N (Figures 9&10) delineated three additional high priority drilling targets, assuming that the data from the anomalous segment of the first EM survey is reliable.

==> picture [441 x 149] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 9: Line 6524000N, TEM results from first EM survey using a 2 turn transmitter loop.
Tasman’s geophysicist concluded, based on these results, that the modelled flat lying polarizable Plate_01 (refer Figure 10) may represent sulphides in relatively shallow porous rocks of the Adelaidean cover sequence such as the Whyalla Sandstone if present, and possibly of similar style to the copper sulphides at Mt Gunson, 40km to the west. Very recent information however suggests there is a possibility that modelled Plate_01 may not be valid (refer next section).
The deeper rocks represented by Plate_02 and Plate_04 may represent a deeper source for any base metal sulphide accumulations here. Modelled Plates_02 and Plate_04 coincide laterally as well as depth-wise, with dense and magnetic bodies recognised in the density-magnetic susceptibility model for the area and are priority targets for IOCG copper sulphide mineralisation (refer Figure 10 and gravity and magnetic profiles in Figure 9).

Recent Follow up EM Survey
The questionable segment of line 6524000N was re-surveyed with one reading being taken with a single turn loop and a second reading being taken when feeding the same current into a two-turn loop.
Results from this brief follow up survey that was conducted over the shallow target (labelled as Plate_01 EM Target in Figure 8) were unable to confirm the polarisation effects observed in the initial survey over conductive Plate_01 (refer Figures 8 and 10). The validity of this target is therefore uncertain as the varying responses from the three surveys cannot be satisfactorily explained. All of the other EM targets remain valid.
Drill Targets
The EM surveying over priority gravity and magnetic targets has identified eight drill targets to test for copper sulphides (Figure 8). Although none of the conductors identified can be readily attributed to classic IOCG mineralization due to their relatively low gravity modelled iron contents they still have the potential to host economic copper sulphide mineralization in the cover rocks and/or basement. The applicable mineralisation models for the Pernatty anomalies are however uncertain at this stage.
The eastern Gawler Craton is a significant copper province and economic copper mineralization occurs in cover rocks at Mt Gunson, 40km to the west and in the basement at the Carrapateena IOCG deposit 20km to the northwest. As there has been no drilling in the area the local depth to basement is unknown, and the conductivity contrast between the cover rocks and basement is insufficient to determine a clear interface in the CDIs.
Field reconnaissance over the target areas has been carried out by Tasman personnel and Aboriginal heritage surveys were conducted by representatives of the native title holders. All of the proposed hole locations have been cleared for drilling. A PEPR has been submitted to the SA Department for Energy and Mining and approval has been granted for the drilling program.
Drilling of the first hole in the south of the tenement commenced on the 21[st] October with a target depth of 500 to 600m.

Lake Torrens IOCG Project – EL 6416 (Tasman 100%, Fortescue earning 51%).
Exploration Licence 6416 (refer Figure 11) hosts the Vulcan, Vulcan West and Titan iron oxide-copper-gold (“IOCG”) prospects, approximately 30km north of BHP’s Olympic Dam mine in South Australia. In June 2019 Tasman and FMG Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (ASX:FMG “Fortescue”) executed a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement over Tasman’s EL 6416.

Background on Vulcan and Vulcan West Prospects (presently regarded by Tasman as the high priority prospects within EL6416).
Vulcan is located 30km NNE of the giant Olympic Dam IOCG deposit and is a very large IOCG system, where drilling to date has intersected a number of very thick intervals of alteration and low-grade mineralisation over a large target area (about 12km[2] ).
Vulcan West occupies a very geophysically anomalous and interesting zone (around 50km[2] ) between Vulcan and Titan, another very large IOCG system within Tasman’s Exploration Licence 6416 (see Figure 11). Other regional IOCG targets within Tasman’s EL6416 are also shown in Figure 11.
The infill gravity survey completed by Tasman in January 2018 over a previously undrilled section of the Exploration Licence, provided high quality data to enable detailed geophysical modelling (combined gravity and magnetics) over an area considered prospective for discovery of IOCG deposits. A number of potential drill targets were identified in this modelling, and as suspected, a number of these targets are at shallower depth than the nearby large Vulcan IOCG system.
Regional MT surveys suggest to Tasman that Vulcan and Olympic Dam share a very deep underlying zone of anomalously conductive rocks that are postulated to represent a zone of fluid migration, which was critical in the formation of these two very large IOCG systems.
Figure 12 (see Figure 11 for location) shows the residual gravity response obtained from the new geophysical processing and modelling over the main area of interest at Vulcan West and clearly highlights a number of distinctive anomalies. Combined modelling of this gravity data with existing magnetics has defined a number of potential drill targets at a variety of depths (Figure12):
-
Target A: Modelled depth of about 650m
-
Target B: Modelled depth of about 700m
-
Target C: Modelled depth of about 680m
-
Target D: Modelled depth of about 850m
-
Target E: Modelled depth of about 700m
-
Target F: Modelled depth of about 750m

Red/magenta colours are areas of stronger residual gravity, generally indicating areas likely to be underlain by denser, more iron-rich rock, potentially IOCG systems. The letters A, B C etc. refer to individual modelled bodies. Also shown in plan, at the same scale is an outline of the Carrapateena IOCG deposit, located 125km to the SE. Clearly there is potential for the Vulcan West area (especially Targets A & C) to host Carrapateena-size deposits at attractive depths.

5. RISK FACTORS
There are a number of risk factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the financial position, financial performance, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and growth prospects of the Company and the outcome of an investment in the Company. These risks are both specific to the Company and generally relate to an investment in the stock market. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives, or that forward looking statements will be realised.
5.1 Exploration Risk
Mineral exploration and mining are speculative operations that may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Profitability depends on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves. Exploration is a speculative endeavour and the Company may not be successful in locating or identifying any commercial mineral deposits.
5.2 Operating Risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in exploration and mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, inadequate water supplies, unanticipated technical or metallurgical problems which may affect extraction rates and costs, inability to obtain satisfactory joint venture partners, difficulties in obtaining requisite planning approvals, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the cost of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or operation of its tenements or its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it will incur ongoing operating losses.
5.3 Production Risks
Even assuming that viable deposits of minerals are located and able to be mined (of which there is no guarantee), the quality and rate of extraction of minerals will be variable (depending, for example, on the size of the deposits, timing and/or success of development work and mineral quality). Production may be impacted or shut down for considerable periods of time due to any of the following factors:
-
government regulation;
-
processing interruptions;
-
equipment failure;
-
equipment or manpower shortages;
-
force majeure;
-
well blowouts;
-
explosions;
-
fires;
-
pollution;
-
releases of toxic gas; or
-
other environmental hazards and risks.
5.4 Commodity Price Volatility & Exchange Rate Risks
If the Company achieves success which results in mineral production (of which there is no guarantee), the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company, including supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancement, forward selling activities and other micro and macro economic factors. International prices of various commodities are largely denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company, whilst operating on Australian projects, will be in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar.
5.5 Title Risks and Native Title
Interests in exploration and mining tenements in Australia are governed by State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of leases or licences. Each lease or licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting conditions as well as other conditions requiring compliance. These conditions include the requirement, particularly for exploration licences, for compulsory reduction in the area held under licence from time to time. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. In relation to tenements in which the Company has an interest, there are areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist (and in relation to tenements in which the Company in the future may acquire an interest, it is possible this could also be the case). The ability of the Company to obtain the consent of any relevant land owner, or to progress from the exploration
26
phase to the development and mining phases of the operation (if a commercial mineral deposit is identified), may be adversely affected. In addition, Aboriginal heritage sites are known to exist on various parts of the tenement areas, and exploration and mining activity is not permitted over such areas. The Directors closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.
5.6 Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if the Company locates and identifies a commercial mineral deposit (of which there is no guarantee) and advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company attempts to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Although the Company is not aware of any endangered species of fauna or flora within the tenement area, no definitive study has been carried out over the area, and if any were discovered this could prevent mining occurring.
5.7 Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors
The Company has entered into a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement over its wholly owned exploration licence 6416. Exploration progress on that tenement may be hampered if that existing joint venture is terminated or comes to an end for any reason.
The Company may also, in the future, seek a suitable joint venture partner for its other projects and its inability to do so may also hamper its exploration progress. The Company engages contractors and other service providers to assist it with its exploration activities (e.g. drilling contractors). The Company is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or default by any of those contractors.
5.8 Investments
As noted elsewhere, the Company holds a 33.27% shareholding in Eden (through Noble) and a 11.49% shareholding in Conico, both ASX listed entities. Any change in the market value of, or the trading price of the shares in, those companies may therefore have an impact on the value of the Shares and Options in the Company. Conico is a mining exploration company and faces risks similar to those which are faced by the Company as specified in sections 5.1 to 5.7 inclusive above. Eden is the developer of a pyrolysis process to produce carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers, a carbonstrengthened concrete additive (EdenCrete[®] ), and a dual fuel system capable of operating on diesel engines and displacing a large amount of diesel fuel with natural gas (Optiblend®). There is no guarantee that Eden’s commercialisation of EdenCrete[®] , Optiblend® or its pyrolysis technology, or the proposed commercialisation of any other new technologies it may develop, will be successful. The commercialisation of new technologies is always subject to substantial risk, including competition from new inventions, unforeseen technical issues, securing sufficient working capital to fund the operations prior to the company becoming profitable, and establishment of a viable market for new products.
5.9 Share Market Conditions
The price of the New Shares and New Options when quoted on ASX will be influenced by international and domestic factors affecting market conditions in equity, financial and commodity markets. These factors may affect the share price for all listed companies, and the price of the Company’s Shares and Options may fall or rise, and the price of the New Shares may trade below or above the issue price of the New Shares and the price of the New Shares and New Options may trade below or above their prevailing market price as at the date of this Prospectus. The price of the Shares and Options may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
5.10 Working Capital
Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it will incur ongoing operating losses. Assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Company anticipates having working capital to cover operating expenses through until late 2021 or the first quarter of 2022. Subject only to the terms of any new joint venture or other commercial arrangement which may be entered into, the Company is likely to have to raise further capital or borrow funds at the expiration of that period. If this Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Company is likely to have to raise further capital before the end of 2021. There is no guarantee that such additional funds will be available to the Company. Further, any additional equity financing which is available may be dilutive to Shareholders.
The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.
27
5.11 No formal valuation of Shares, Options or tenements
No formal valuations of any of the Shares or Options, or any of the assets in which the Company has an interest, have been carried out.
5.12 General investment risks
In addition, there is a risk that the price of the Shares and Options and returns to Shareholders may be affected by changes in many general factors including local and world economic conditions and outlook, general movements in local and international stock markets, investor sentiment, interest rates, the rate of inflation, exchange rates, levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice, government legislation or intervention, inflation or inflationary expectations, natural disasters, social disorder or war in Australia or overseas, international hostilities and acts of terrorism, COVID-19 as well as many other factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
5.13 Other risks
The above list of risk factors is not exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company and its Shareholders and investors. The above risks, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares and accompanying New Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, no assurances or guarantees of future profitability, distributions, payment of dividends, return of capital or performance of the Company or its Securities can be, or is, provided by the Company.
Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, in particular, should consider the risk factors that could affect the financial performance of the Company. Qualifying Shareholders should carefully consider these factors in light of their personal circumstances and should consult their professional advisers (for example, their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser) before deciding whether to invest.
Neither the Company nor its officers, employees, agents and advisers guarantee that any specific objectives of the Company will be achieved or that any particular performance of the Shares and Options, including the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus, will be achieved.

6. EFFECT OF THE ISSUE
6.1 Introduction
Assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the gross proceeds that will be raised by the Company under this Rights Issue (before expenses of this Rights Issue) will amount to approximately $1,169,169 (on the assumption that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date).
6.2 Pro-forma capital structure on completion of the Rights Issue
The pro-forma capital structure of the Company is set out below and reflects the issued and paid up capital structure of the Company assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed (and assuming that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date or before completion of this Rights Issue).
Capital Structure
| Shares | Percentage | Options | Percentage | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Existing Shares and TASOE and ESOP Options |
584,584,472 | 95.24% | 29,312,378 | 66.73% |
| Maximum number of New Shares and New Options (estimated) |
29,229,224 | 4.76% | 14,614,612 | 33.27% |
| Total Shares and Options (TASOE and ESOP Options and New Options) upon completion of the Rights Issue(estimated) |
613,813,696 | 100.00% | 43,926,990 | 100.00% |
On the assumptions set out above, a total of up to approximately 29,229,224 New Shares and up to approximately 14,614,612 accompanying New Options will be issued by the Company at the successful completion of this Rights Issue. The maximum number of New Shares and New Options which may be issued under this Rights Issue cannot be calculated precisely until Rights have been determined following the Record Date because of the possibility that the Existing Options (or some of them) may be exercised by the Record Date and due to the rounding up of fractional Entitlements.
6.3 Effect on Existing Shareholders and Optionholders
Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Rights in full will not have their proportionate interest in the Company diluted by this Rights Issue. The proportionate interest of a Qualifying Shareholder who takes up their Entitlement in full and applies for (and is issued) additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall will increase.
Qualifying Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights in full will have their interest in the Company diluted.
Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders will have their interest in the Company diluted.
Existing Optionholders who do not exercise all or any of their Existing Options before the Record Date will not be entitled to participate in this Rights Issue with respect to those Existing Options (and, if those Existing Options are subsequently exercised, the interest which the Shares issued consequent upon the exercise of the Existing Options will confer in the Company will have been diluted by this Rights Issue).
6.4 Impact on Control
Assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the New Shares will represent 4.76% of the expanded issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.
Each of the Company’s two largest Shareholders, Arkenstone Pty Ltd and March Bells Pty Ltd, and the Director and other entities associated with each of them, have indicated to the Company that they currently intend to participate in the Entitlement Offer by taking up some or all of their Entitlements.
The GS Entities and DS Entities do not intend to apply for any of the Shortfall.
29
The following table summarises the potential increase in the shareholding of the GS Entities and the DS Entities as a result of the Entitlement Offer:
| Existing Shares held |
Current % of Existing Shares |
Number of Shares at Completion of the Offers assuming they each take up their Entitlements in full |
Maximum New % assuming they each take up their Entitlements in full* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 111,160,771 | 19.02% | 116,718,810 | 19.59% |
| 112,137,157 | 19.18% | 117,744,015 | 19.76% |
- On the assumption that none of the Existing Options (including those held by the GS Entities and DS Entities) are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date and the GS Entities and DS Entities are the only shareholders to take up their Entitlements.
In addition to the Shares set out in the above table, the GS Entities and DS Entities currently hold 3,761,305 and 5,097,147 Existing TASOE Options respectively (and, if they were to take up their Entitlements in full, will be issued with 2,779,020 and 2,803,429 New Options respectively under the Entitlement Offer). The maximum number of Options that will be held by the GS Entities and DS Entities on completion of the Offers is 6,540,325 Options and 7,900,576 Options respectively (out of a maximum of 43,926,990 Options).
If the GS Entities and DS Entities exercised all of these Options (on the assumption that none of the other Options were exercised), the GS Entities and DS Entities’ shareholding in the Company would further increase. The exercise by the GS Entities and DS Entities of their Options, where this will cause their respective shareholding in the Company (at the time of exercise) to increase to above 20%, or to any amount in excess of 20%, will be conditional upon this not contravening s.606 of the Corporations Act by virtue of an exemption contained in s.611 of the Corporations Act.
It is not anticipated that the Offer will have any effect on the future of the Company, as the GS Entities and DS Entities have indicated to the Company that they do not have any present intention to try to change the Company’s main activities, business or direction.
6.5 Purpose of this Rights Issue and use of funds raised under this Rights Issue
The gross proceeds to be raised by the Company under this Rights Issue (i.e. before expenses) will be up to approximately $1,169,169 (on the assumption that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date and this Rights Issue is fully subscribed).
The funds raised under this Rights Issue will augment the Company’s existing funds and will enable the Company (assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed):
-
(a) to fund the costs of the Offers;
-
(b) to continue exploration on the mineral exploration licences that Tasman holds in South Australia;
-
(c) to extend working capital to cover operating expenses, assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, through until late 2021 or the first quarter of 2022 and to enable it to continue to support its investments in either or both of Eden and Conico, as the Directors in their discretion may decide is reasonably required.
Set out below is a table summarising how, subject to the qualifications above, the Directors intend to apply the proceeds of the Offers against the above use categories, in each of the following scenarios:
-
(a) the Offers raise approximately $1,169,169 (the maximum amount);
-
(b) the Offers raise approximately $771,652 (being 66% of the maximum amount); and
-
(c) the Offers raise approximately $385,826 (being 33% of the maximum amount).
| Funds raised under the Offers | $1,169,169 | $771,652 (paragraph (b) above |
$385,826 (paragraph (c) above) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Allocation of Funds: Costs of the Offers Pernatty exploration expenditure General working capital** |
$55,000 $200,000 $914,169 |
$53,000 $200,000 $518,652 |
$50,000 $200,000 $135,826 |
- Costs of the Offer vary due to ASX Listing Fees being calculated on the number of New Shares and New Options issued.
30
** $400,000 was budgeted from the funds raised under the July 2020 Rights Issue for this drilling program. An additional amount has been allocated from the funds being raised under this Prospectus. The cost of this drilling program may be higher than originally anticipated due to a number of factors (including the actual amount expended on any diamond drilling which is required to take the holes to target depth if any of the deeper holes cannot be completed by the cheaper RC drilling method). Any of the $200,000 allocated above that is not required for this drilling program will be allocated to General Working Capital.
*** The working capital funds will be used, firstly, to meet all the normal ongoing operating costs and expenses of the Company and, secondly, if in the Directors’ opinion, sufficient further funds are available, to supporting Tasman’s investment in Eden and/or Conico and/or further exploration at Pernatty.
Given the speculative nature of the Company’s business, the intended allocation of funds as set out above may change depending upon market conditions.
Based on the information available to it, and its current plans and budgets (and subject to any changes thereto), and provided this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and have sufficient working capital to cover operating expenses through until late 2021 or the first quarter of 2022.
If this Rights Issue is not well subscribed, the Company’s expenditure will necessarily be more limited in extent and the Company may need access to further funding earlier than noted above.
6.6 Effect on the Company's financial position
Upon the successful completion of this Rights Issue and assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed (and none of the Existing Options are converted into Shares before the Record Date or the closing of this Rights Issue), the Company's cash reserves will increase by approximately $1,169,169, minus Offer expenses.
Set out below for illustrative purposes is a historical consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020 and an unaudited proforma consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020 after the Rights Issue. The updated pro-forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company and having regard to the basis and assumptions set out below.
31
Eden and its subsidiaries are included in the historical consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020 and the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020, as the Company holds a controlling interest in Eden.

The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet set out above has been prepared on the basis and assumption that there has been and will be no material movements in the assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity between 1 July 2020 and the Closing Date other than:
-
the July 2020 Rights Issue raising $1,473,489 less costs of the issue of $73,350
-
repayment to March Bells Pty Ltd of its loan of $200,000
-
placement and option exercises totaling $117,750
-
this Offer raising $1,169,169 less costs of the offer of $55,000.
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020 above is intended to be illustrative only. It does not take into account activities occurring between 1 July 2020 and the date of this Prospectus (or the Closing Date) other than those noted above and as such it does not accurately reflect what the actual balance sheet will be as at the date of this Prospectus or at the completion of this Rights Issue (by way of example, the cash and cash equivalent assets will not be as set out in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet because, amongst other things, no allowance has been made in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet for expenditure incurred in the normal course of business of the consolidated group after 1 July 2020).

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7.1 Nature of this Prospectus
This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. That section enables listed disclosing entities to issue a prospectus with less rigorous disclosure requirements if:
-
the securities offered by the prospectus are in a class of securities that have been quoted enhanced disclosure securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of the prospectus or are options to acquire such securities; and
-
the company is not subject to certain exemptions or declarations prescribed by the Corporations Act during the period during which the securities have been quoted or the 12 months before the date of the prospectus (whichever is the shorter period).
Securities are quoted enhanced disclosure securities if:
-
the company is included in the official list of ASX; and
-
the Listing Rules apply to those securities.
The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of this Rights Issue and the information necessary to make an informed assessment of:
-
the effect of this Rights Issue on the Company; and
-
the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus.
The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX. This Prospectus does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that was not already listed on a securities exchange. Qualifying Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to subscribe for New Shares and accompanying New Options.
7.2 Regular reporting and disclosure obligations
The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it becomes aware concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities in the Company. The Company is required to lodge with ASX quarterly reports which include details about its production, development and exploration activities.
As the Company has been listed on ASX since December 2001, a large amount of information concerning the Company has previously been notified to ASX and is therefore publicly available. All announcements made by the Company are available from ASX.
The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASX both yearly and half yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors’ statement and report and an auditor’s report. Copies of documents lodged with ASX in relation to the Company may be obtained from the ASX website.
A summary of the Company’s current and recent activities, transactions and projects and the financial performance and position of the Company is set out in the quarterly activities statement lodged with ASX on 21 October 2020 and subsequent ASX releases.
7.3 Right to obtain copies of Company documents
Under section 713(4) of the Corporations Act, any person has the right to obtain from the Company, free of charge, a copy of any of the following documents during the Offer Period:
-
the Company's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 as lodged with ASIC; and
-
any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after lodgement of the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 (i.e. on 30 September 2020) and before lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC (i.e. on 2 November 2020). Headlines for such notices are as follows:

7.4 Constitution and rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.
All Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will, from the time they are issued, rank equally with all of the Company’s Existing Shares.
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares (at present there are none), at meetings of Shareholders of the Company:
-
(a) each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote (save that where a Shareholder has appointed more than one person as proxy, attorney or representative, none of the proxies, attorneys or representatives, is entitled to vote, and where a Shareholder is present in more than one capacity, that Shareholder is entitled only to one vote); and
-
(c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid shares, shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion of the amount paid up or agreed to be considered as paid up on the total issue price of that Share at the time the poll is taken bears to the total issue price of the Share.
Rights on winding up
If the Company is wound up, whether voluntary or otherwise, the liquidator may divide among all or any of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit in specie or kind any part of the assets of the Company, and may vest any part of the assets of the Company in trustees on any trusts for the benefit of all or any of the contributes as the liquidator thinks fit. Any division may be otherwise than in accordance with the legal rights of the contributories and, in particular, any class may be given preferential or special rights or may be excluded altogether or in part, but if any division otherwise than in accordance with legal rights of the contributories is determined, any contributory who would be prejudiced by the division has a right to dissent and ancillary rights as if the determination were a special resolution passed under the Corporations Act relating to the sale or transfer of the Company’s assets in a voluntary winding up.
Transfer of shares
Subject to the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other laws, Shares are freely transferable.
34
Future increases in capital
The allotment and issue of any Shares is under the control of the Board. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act, the Directors may allot or otherwise dispose of Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.
Variation of rights
Under the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares. If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of the issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with special, preferential or qualified rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company that the Directors determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among the holders of Shares and is payable on each Share on the basis of the proportion which the amount paid is of the total amounts paid, agreed to be considered to be paid or payable on the Share. A dividend may be declared at a rate per annum in respect of a specified period but no amount paid on a Share in advance of calls is to be treated as paid on that Share.
7.5 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Options
The New Options, which will be issued on the same terms as the Existing TASOE Options, will be issued on the following terms and conditions.
-
(1) The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00pm WST on 7 August 2023 ("the Time of Expiry"). Options not exercised on or before the Time of Expiry will automatically lapse.
-
(2) The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing a notice of exercise of options substantially in the form attached to the option certificate ("Notice of Exercise") to be delivered to the Company's registered office and received by it any time prior to the Time of Expiry.
-
(3) The Options entitle the holder to subscribe (in respect of each Option held) for one Share at an exercise price per Option of $0.05.
-
(4) Upon the exercise of the Options and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, Shares will be issued ranking equally with the then issued Shares. If at the date of exercise of the Options the Shares of the Company are quoted on the ASX, the Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares so issued granted Quotation.
-
(5) A summary of the terms and conditions of the Options including the Notice of Exercise will be sent to all holders of Options when they are issued.
-
(6) Any Notice of Exercise received by the Company prior to the Time of Expiry will be deemed to be a Notice of Exercise as at the last Business Day of the month in which such notice is received.
-
(7) There are no participating entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in new issues of capital, which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to Shareholders, holders of Options will be notified by the Company and will be afforded 10 business days before the Record Date (as defined in the Listing Rules) (to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise Options.
-
(8) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Time of Expiry, the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options or both shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on holders of Options which are not being conferred on Shareholders and (subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of Shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), in all respects, the terms for the exercise of Options shall remain unchanged. For these purposes the rights of the Option holder may be changed from time to time to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.
-
(9) The Options may be transferred at any time prior to the Time of Expiry.
-
(10) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be issued not more than 14 days after the Notice of Exercise.

7.6.1 Shareholdings of Directors

The Directors are all Qualifying Shareholders and will therefore receive Rights to subscribe for New Shares (and accompanying New Options) pursuant to this Rights Issue.
