(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that become fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) 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 issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(D) 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 issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The actual number of Equity Securities that may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A is calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the above formula.
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

-
(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.
1.4 Specific information by Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided about the proposed issue:
-
(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) There is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders in approving the 10% Placement Facility, including the risks that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower of the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than when Shareholders approval the 10% Placement Facility; 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 issued for noncash consideration for the acquisition of a new asset.

9
| Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.0085 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.017 Issue Price |
$0.034 100% increase in Issue Price |
||
| Current Variable A 307,762,465 |
10% Voting Dilution |
30,776,247 | 30,776,247 | 30,776,247 |
| Funds Raised | $261,598 | $523,196 | $1,046,392 | |

-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(v) The issue price is $0.017 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 October 2014.
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

10
-

-
(d) The Equity Securities may be issued for the following purposes:
-
(i) to raise funds, in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) in consideration of the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in which case 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.
-
(e) The Company is yet to identify the persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued to under the 10% Placement Facility. The Company’s policy for allocating Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending upon the purpose, and prevailing market conditions at the time, of any issue and having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) The fundraising methods available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue which may minimise dilution to Shareholders.
-
(ii) In the case of an asset or investment acquisition, the nature and circumstances of the acquisition.
-
(iii) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company.
-
