Chairman's letter
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Directors I am pleased to invite you to take up your entitlement to new ordinary fully paid shares ( New Shares ) in Red 5 Limited ( Issue ).
The Company is making a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 New Share for every 3 Shares held in Red 5 on the Record Date at an Issue Price of $0.05 per Share, to raise up to approximately $12,741,000 before the costs of this Issue.
As announced to ASX on 3 August 2017, the Company has initiated a new Eastern Goldfields strategy and has entered into binding agreements to acquire:
-
(a) the Darlot Gold Operations, located approximately 900 kilometres north east of Perth in Western Australia, from a subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited ( Darlot Acquisition ) conditional on necessary shareholder, regulatory and third party approvals and consents; and
-
(b) the King of the Hills tenement package, located approximately 80 kilometres south west of the Darlot Gold Operations, from a subsidiary of Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited ( KoTH Acquisition ) conditional on necessary regulatory and third party approvals and consents.
Details of these acquisitions and the consideration payable are set out in section 1.6 below and Shareholders should also refer to the announcement and Investor Presentation provided to the ASX on 3 August 2017. It is proposed that the funds raised from the Issue will be applied to assist in the funding of the initial cash component of the Darlot Acquisition, to cover the costs of the Issue and to provide additional working capital funding. The issue and allotment of New Shares under the Offer is conditional on settlement of the Darlot Acquisition occurring on (or before) the allotment date. It is intended that funding for the initial cash component of the KoTH Acquisition will be from existing cash resources.
The Issue is partially underwritten to the sum of $8,500,000 (being approximately 67% of the Rights Issue amount) by St Ives Gold Mining Company Pty Ltd ( SIGMC ) (a subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited), with $1,500,000 of that sum being sub-underwritten by Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited.
The Directors intend to take up their entitlement to New Shares.
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, Red 5 is not required to prepare a prospectus for the Issue. A summary of the key information with respect to the Issue is set out in this Offer Document. Please read the Offer Document carefully before deciding whether or not to invest. If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor.
A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form is enclosed with this Offer Document and sets out the number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for as an Eligible Shareholder ( Entitlement ). Entitlements to New Shares can be accepted in full or in part by completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or making payment of Application Money by BPAY in accordance with the instructions set out below and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Subscription money for the New Shares must be received by the Company at its Share Registry by the Closing Date. Please refer to the timetable for the important dates of the Offer. The Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable.
On behalf of the Directors, I thank you for your continued support and I invite you to consider this investment opportunity.
Yours sincerely
Kevin Dundo Chairman Red 5 Limited

1.1 The Offer
This Offer Document is for the non-renounceable rights issue of approximately 254,835,049 New Shares at an Issue Price of $0.05 per New Share, on the basis of 1 New Share for every 3 Shares held by Eligible Shareholders as at the Record Date.

About the Darlot Acquisition and KoTH Acquisition

Page 7 of 29
Details of the acquisitions are set out in the Company’s announcement of 3 August 2017 and the investor presentation released to the ASX on the same date, to which Shareholders should refer. In summary:
-
(a) the Company will acquire all of the shares in Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd, which owns and operates the Darlot Gold Operations, in consideration for:
-
(1) a cash payment of A$7,000,000 on completion, noting that the Company has as at the date of this Offer Document already paid a $500,000 deposit;
-
(2) the issue of 130,000,000 Shares to SIGMC (as the vendor’s nominee) on completion (escrowed for 12 months);

The number of Shares to be issued will be calculated based on the 30 day volume weighted average price of Shares ( 30 Day VWAP ) immediately prior to the relevant anniversary date. If the Shares are taken at the 12 month anniversary, they will be issued at the 30 Day VWAP, and will be escrowed until the 24 month anniversary (unless otherwise determined by the Company). If the Shares are taken at the 24 month anniversary they will be issued at 15% discount to the 30 Day VWAP. The number of shares issued is subject to any necessary Listing Rule 7.1 approval and will be limited so that their (including any related entities, such as SIGMC) shareholding does not exceed 20%. Any remaining balance will be settled by way of a cash payment.

-
(A) a cash payment of $4,500,000; or
-
(B) the issue of Shares in lieu of the cash payment (either in whole or part), with the number of Shares to be issued calculated based the 30 Day VWAP of Shares immediately prior to the date 12 months from settlement. The number of shares issued to Saracen is subject to any necessary Listing Rule 7.1 approval and will be limited so that their shareholding does not exceed 15%. Any remaining balance will be settled by way of a cash payment.
-
Completion under both the Darlot Acquisition and the KoTH Acquisition is scheduled for 2 October 2017. It is intended that funding for the initial cash component of the KoTH Acquisition will be from existing cash resources.
The potential impact on the control of the Company, taking into account the issue of Shares under the Offer, the Darlot Acquisition, the KoTH Acquisition and Top-Up Rights to the two vendors, is set out in section 3.
1.7 Risk factors
Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, including possible loss of income and the principal invested. Investors should carefully read the section on risk factors outlined in section 4. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, a number of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates.
Page 8 of 29
However, these risks should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or its shareholders. Those risk factors referred to section 4, and others not specifically referred to in section 4, may materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares in the future.
The Company has implemented strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks. However, some risks are beyond its control. Consequently, the prevailing price, future price or value of New Shares issued under the Offer may be more or less than the Issue Price.
The New Shares offered under this Offer carry no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the market price at which they may trade on ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to future performance.
1.8
New Share terms
Each New Share will rank equally with all existing Shares then on issue. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
1.9 No rights trading
Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Issue are non-renounceable and accordingly no Entitlements will be traded on the ASX.
1.10 Acceptance of Entitlement to New Shares
The number of New Shares to which each Eligible Shareholder is entitled is calculated as at the Record Date and is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Document.

The Company and the Underwriter have agreed a dispersion strategy to ensure that the Underwriter would not exceed 19.9% by way of take up of any Shortfall.
SIGMC has submitted a binding commitment to subscribe for up to 140,000,000 New Shares and Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited has submitted a binding commitment to subscribe for up to 30,000,000 New Shares under the Shortfall. Refer sections 1.11 and 1.12.
In the event that there is a Shortfall in subscriptions under the Issue after the operation of the Underwriting Agreement and Sub-underwriting Agreement, the Directors reserve the right, as contemplated within the Listing Rules, to allocate any Shortfall of New Shares in their discretion and to conduct a placement of the remaining Shortfall in conjunction with and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and Sub-underwriting Agreement so as to ensure a maximum amount of funds are raised. They will do so in a manner which will ensure that no Shareholder or other investor (including the Underwriter and Sub-underwriter) will as a consequence of taking up their Entitlement and being issued any Shortfall hold a relevant interest of more than 19.99% of all of the Shares in the Company after this Issue.
Any Shortfall will be issued within three months after the Closing Date at an issue price being not less than the Issue Price under this Offer.
1.14 Allotment and allocation policy
The Company will proceed to allocate New Shares as soon as possible after the Closing Date and receiving ASX permission for official quotation of the New Shares.
In the event that there is less than full subscription by Eligible Shareholders to their Entitlements under this Offer Document, the Directors in consultation with the Underwriter reserve the right, as contemplated within the Listing Rules, to issue any Shortfall at their discretion, in conjunction with and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to any necessary shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to confirm the number of New Shares allocated to them prior to trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive notice of the number of New Shares allocated to them do so at their own risk.
1.15 ASX listing
On the same date as lodging this Offer Document with ASX, the Company applied to the ASX for the New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer Document to be listed for official quotation by the ASX. If granted, quotation of the New Shares will commence as soon as practicable after allotment of the New Shares to Applicants. It is the responsibility of the Applicants to determine their allocation of New Shares prior to trading.
Should the New Shares not be granted official quotation on the ASX within three months after the date of this Offer Document, none of the New Shares offered under this Offer Document will be issued and all Application Money will be refunded without interest to Applicants within the time prescribed by the Corporations Act.
1.16
CHESS
The Company will apply for the New Shares to participate in CHESS, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
After allotment of the New Shares, Shareholders who are issuer sponsored will be provided with an issuer sponsored statement and those who are CHESS Holders will receive an allotment advice.
Page 12 of 29
The CHESS statements, which are similar in style to bank account statements, will set out the number of New Shares allotted to each successful applicant pursuant to this Offer Document. The statement will also advise holders of their holder identification number. Further statements will be provided to holders which reflect any changes in their holding in the Company during a particular month.
1.17 Existing Right Holders
Existing Right Holders will not be entitled to participate in the Issue unless they:
-
(a) have become entitled to exercise their Existing Rights under the terms of their issue and do so prior to the Record Date; and
-
(b) participate in the Issue as a result of being an Eligible Shareholder at 7.00 pm (Perth time) on the Record Date.
There are currently 6,000,000 performance rights on issue. These Existing Rights are subject to various vesting conditions (which have not been met as at the date of this Offer Document), have a vesting date of 15 April 2018 and are each exercisable into 1 share for no exercise price.
1.18 Overseas Shareholders

130,000,000 | 10.49% |
| Total | 1,239,340,1971,2 | 100.00% |
Notes:
1. If any of the Existing Rights are exercised prior to the Record Date, additional New Shares will be issued under the Offer under this Offer Document. If all Existing Rights on issue as at the date of this Offer Document were exercised prior to the Record Date, the Company's issued shares would increase by 6,000,000 resulting in a further 2,000,000 New Shares being issued pursuant to this Offer Document. This would increase the Company's total Shares on issue after completion of the Offer to 1,241,340,197 Shares.
2. If Saracen and SIGMC do not receive sufficient New Shares in any Shortfall to the Offer pursuant to their underwriting or sub-underwriting so as to retain or maintain a holding (after issue of the initial consideration shares for both acquisitions and the maximum New Shares under the Offer), of 10.54% and 14.54% respectively, then subject to any necessary shareholder approval (or ASX waiver), those parties are entitled to a further placement (at $0.05 per Share) to top up to those stated percentages ( Top-Up Rights ). Refer to Resolutions 3 and 4 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting lodged with ASX on 16 August 2017.
Page 17 of 29
As at the date of this Offer Document, the Company has a total of 6,000,000 Existing Rights on issue as follows:
| Description | Number | Vesting date/performance hurdle | Expiry date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance rights |
6,000,0003 | 15 April 2018 Subject to satisfaction of performance hurdles including above median share price scaled performance against the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Gold Index, a positive share price performance and minimum share price thresholds at the end of the performance period including that the Red 5’s Shares as quoted on ASX must be above $0.125 per share at the end of the performance period. |
15 April 2019 |
- The Company intends to issue 5,616,400 further rights pursuant to its Performance Rights Plan. Refer to Resolutions 5 and 6 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting lodged with ASX on 16 August 2017.
3.3 Potential effect of the Offer
The Offer is a pro-rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements and none of the Existing Rights Holders exercise their Existing Rights and participate in the Offer, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Offer on the control of the Company.
However, Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their interest in the Company diluted. In addition, the proportional shareholdings of Shareholders who do not have registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand may be diluted as those Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Offer.
While the final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which they are Eligible Shareholders and to the extent to which the other Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the Company does not expect that the issue of Shares under the Offer will materially affect the control of the Company.
The final percentage interests of the Underwriter and Sub-underwriter will also be dependent on the extent to which Shareholders take up their Entitlements. The table below sets out the notional impact on the Underwriter’s and Sub-underwriter’s percentage shareholdings in the Company of 0%, 50% and 100% of Shareholders taking up their Entitlements. The table assumes the issue of the consideration shares to both Saracen and SIGMC under the KoTH Acquisition and the Darlot Acquisition and further assumes that the Shortfall (beyond the $8,500,000 to be taken up via the partial underwriting and sub-underwriting) is not issued:
| Current (including consideration shares to be issued to Saracen and SIGMC) |

Notes:
1. The table above shows notional impact on voting power. However, the Underwriter has agreed with the Company that it will implement a dispersal strategy in relation to any Shortfall, so that in no circumstances will the Underwriter acquire an interest in the Company of more than 19.9% via the Shortfall. In that event, the Company would nominate other allottees or sub-underwriters for the Shortfall.
Page 18 of 29
2. If Saracen and / or SIGMC do not receive sufficient New Shares in the Shortfall so as to retain or maintain a holding (after issue of the initial consideration shares for both acquisitions and the maximum New Shares under the Offer), of 10.54% and 14.54% respectively, then subject to any necessary shareholder approval (or ASX waiver), those parties are entitled to a further placement (at $0.05 per Share) to top up to those stated percentages. Refer Resolutions 3 and 4 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting lodged with ASX on 16 August 2017.
In the event of a Shortfall, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their sole discretion subject to the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, on the basis Shortfall is issued within 3 months of the Closing Date.
3.4 Director intentions
All of the Directors have shown their support for the Offer by indicating that they intend to subscribe for their Entitlements under the Offer.
4. Risk factors
4.1 Introduction
The activities of the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on its future performance. The Company has actions, systems and safeguards for known risks; however, some are outside its control.
Prior to making any decision to accept the Offer, Eligible Shareholders should carefully consider the risk factors which the Company has previously disclosed (many of which are listed below), as well as those risks of which the Eligible Shareholder is aware, or should be aware of through their own knowledge and enquiries.
There are a number of risks, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operational and financial performance of the Company and the value of its shares. Some of the risks may be mitigated by the Company using safeguards and appropriate systems and taking certain actions. However, as noted above and previously, some of the risks are outside the control of the Company and are not capable of mitigation. There are also general risks associated with any investment in shares.
The risks listed below (and previously disclosed by the Company) should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company. The Company, however, considers that these risks represent key risks to an investment in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company considers to be immaterial, may also become key risks that can adversely affect the Company's operational and financial performance in the future. Factors other than those listed may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares. These key investment risks are general in nature and regard has not been had to the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor. Before investing, or increasing any investment in the Company, participants should consider whether this investment is suitable for them having regard to the risk factors set out below, publicly available information, your investment objectives, and personal financial and other circumstances. Eligible Shareholders should read this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor without delay before deciding whether to accept the Offer.
Mining and processing operations at the Siana gold project in the Philippines are currently suspended. The recommencement of operations in the future may be affected by a range of factors including the failure to obtain all government approvals (including to allow open pit mining, to re-commence mining and milling operations or environmental approvals for construction of additional tailing storage facilities), projected grades in exploration, mining and processing, technical difficulties encountered in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure, metallurgical issues which may affect extraction rates, recoveries and costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increases in the cost of labour consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and rebel and extremist activities in the region.

4.2 Risks related to Red 5 and its operations
Exploration and development of minerals involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.
(a) Share price fluctuations
The value of the Company's shares will be determined by the stock market and will be subject to varied and often unpredictable influences in the share market beyond the Company's control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the demand for, and availability of the Company's shares, movements in interest rates, exchange rates, and rates of inflation, fluctuations in the Australian and international stocks markets, changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, and general domestic and international and economic activity. Depending on general market conditions and Red 5’s share price, Red 5 may not be able to attract new investors or raise capital as and when required.
(b) Gold price
The success of Red 5's operations will be primarily dependent on the price of gold bullion as substantially all of Red 5's potential revenues will be derived from the sale of gold. Gold prices are volatile and may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, which are beyond the control of Red 5. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
-
(1) speculative positions taken by investors or traders in gold;
-
(2) changes in global demand for gold (as an investment and/or for other uses);
-
(3) global and regional recessions or reduced economic activity and/or inflationary expectations;
-
(4) financial market expectations regarding the rate of inflation;
-
(5) the strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which gold trades internationally);
-
(6) gold hedging and de-hedging by gold producers;
-
(7) decisions made by central banks and multilateral organisations to purchase, hold or sell portions of their gold reserves; and
-
(8) changes in production costs in major gold producing regions.
Historically, the price of gold has fluctuated widely and is currently trading significantly above long-term historical average prices. The possible adverse consequences of future price declines could include the following:
-
(1) Red 5's operations may become uneconomic because the projected future revenues no longer justify the cost of development;
-
(2) Red 5 may be unable to raise finance to construct or complete required infrastructure on acceptable terms, or at all;
-
(3) Red 5's revenues may decline to a point at which its operations are uneconomic, as a result of which Red 5 may cease production;
-
(4) the value of Red 5's assets may decline, causing it to write down asset values and thereby incur losses;
-
(5) Red 5 may be required to restate its gold reserves and resources; and
-
(6) Red 5's operations may experience delays while assessments are made of the economics of the Siana mine, and once acquired, the Darlot mine and KoTH project under different gold price assumptions.
(c)
Exchange Rates
Revenue from gold sales at the Siana mine (when restarted) will be received in U.S. dollars, and it is expected from the Darlot mine and KoTH project in Australian dollars, while operating expenses will be primarily incurred in Australian dollars and Philippine Pesos. Because Red 5's financial statements are reported in Australian dollars, appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, without offsetting improvement in U.S. dollar denominated gold prices, could adversely affect Red 5's reported profitability and financial position.
Page 20 of 29
In addition, certain capital expenditure will be made in U.S. dollars or Philippine Pesos and certain consumable items required for operations will be priced in U.S. dollars or Philippine Pesos. These costs may increase in Australian dollar terms if there is a depreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar or Philippine Peso, which could adversely affect Red 5's profitability, results of operations and financial position.
(d) Adequacy of funding and additional requirements for capital
Red 5’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on Red 5’s ability to generate revenue from its operations, and the amount raised under the Offer, Red 5 may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer.
Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity funding when required, or that the terms associated with that funding will be acceptable to the Company and this may have a material adverse effect on the Company. If Red 5 is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations. Any ongoing funding restrictions may also impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(e) Taxation
Changes to corporate income tax, import duties, property tax, excise tax, withholding tax or any other applicable taxation legislation or policies in Australia, Philippines or other jurisdictions where the Company operates may adversely affect the Company's financial profitability, net assets and cash flow and the returns to investors. The countries in which Red 5 operates may impose additional taxes on Red 5. The recoupment of taxation losses accrued by Red 5 from any future revenues is subject to the satisfaction of tests outlined in taxation legislation or regulations in relevant jurisdictions. There is no guarantee that Red 5 will satisfy all these requirements at the time it seeks to recoup its tax losses which may impact on the financial performance and cash flows of Red 5.
(f) Dependence on key personnel
Red 5's success depends on the continued services of its key personnel, including the continued support of key personnel at the Darlot Gold operations. Due to management's experience and the important role they have taken in developing Red 5's mining, business and financial plans, Red 5 could be adversely affected if any of them ceased to actively participate in the management of Red 5 or ceased employment with Red 5 entirely. As there may be a limited number of persons with the requisite experience and skills to serve in Red 5's senior management positions if existing management leave Red 5, Red 5 may not be able to locate or employ qualified executives on acceptable terms. If Red 5 cannot attract, train and retain qualified managers, it could adversely affect the Company's current exploration, development and production operations and its future growth plans.
(g)
Conditions and renewal of licences
The permits and agreements on the Siana gold project and other Philippine projects are governed by Philippine legislation and are evidenced by the granting of permits and agreements and the extension of such permits and agreements. Each permit, agreement or extension is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance.
The Company’s Philippine affiliated company will be required to maintain and obtain current and additional permits for additional tailings storage facilities and will be required to obtain modifications/amendments to existing permits. There is no guarantee that the permit variations or extensions will be granted. There is also a current moratorium imposed by the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources on open pit mining which affects new mining applications and hence there are risks associated with the recommencement or expansion of operations at the Siana mine.

The permits and agreements on the Darlot and KoTH projects are governed by Australian legislation and are evidenced by the granting of permits and agreements and the extension of such permits and agreements. Each permit, agreement or extension is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. There is a risk that tenements, environmental consents and any other land use approvals may not be granted, obtained or renewed, may be granted, obtained or renewed on terms that are not satisfactory to the Company, or may be obtained granted or renewed but not within the timeframes anticipated by the Company. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial performance.
(h) Native Title Risk
Access to land for exploration purposes can be adversely affected by land ownership, including private (freehold) land, pastoral lease and native title land or claims under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ) (or similar legislation in the jurisdiction where the Company operates). The effect of the NTA is that existing and new tenements held by Red 5 may be affected by native title claims and procedures. There is a potential risk that a determination could be made that native title exists in relation to land the subject of a tenement held or to be held by Red 5 which may affect the operation of Red 5’s business and development activities. In the event that it is determined that native title does exist or a native title claim has been registered, Red 5 may need to comply with procedures under the NTA in order to carry out its operations or to be granted any additional rights required. Such procedures may take considerable time, involve the negotiation of significant agreements, may involve access rights, and require the payment of compensation to those persons holding or claiming native title in the land the subject of a tenement. The involvement in the administration and determination of native title issues may have a material adverse impact on the position of Red 5 in terms of cash flows, financial performance, business development, ability to pay dividends and the share price.
(i) Production and capital costs
Red 5 and its affiliated companies (Group) business, results of operations and financial condition may vary with fluctuations in production and capital costs. No assurance can be given that the Group will achieve its production and costs estimates. These estimates are subject to a number of factors, many of which cannot be foreseen and are beyond the Group's control. The Group's operations are subject to operating risks that could result in insufficient production and increased costs and, as a result, one or more projects becoming unprofitable or uneconomic. The Group’s main production expenses are expected to be ore and waste movement and associated mining costs, and increase waste movement due to geotechnical issues, pit dewatering, fleet maintenance, diesel fuel and materials (including mining consumables) and its main capital costs will be the development capital expenditure required for the Siana mine, including construction of a new tailings storage facility, other tailings deposition solutions and capital development for an underground operation. Changes in the costs of the Group's mining and processing operations as well as its capital costs could occur as a result of unforeseen events, including international and local economic and political events (including movement in exchange rates), and could result in changes in gold resource and reserve estimates. Many of these factors may be beyond the Group's control. In addition, some of the capital cost estimates are based on conceptual engineering design and there may be a material changes to the estimates as works progress.
The Darlot mine and KoTH project being acquired have in recent times been high cost operations and the Company believes that opportunities exist for these operating to be reduced. Operating cash flow will be dependent on the level of operating costs reductions achieved. Operating risks are ever present in mining, including variation in mined grades, technical difficulties in extracting the ore, potential geotechnical issues which may prevent ready access to ore and/or dilute the mined grade, plant and equipment breakdowns, unanticipated metallurgical problems, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, and unexpected shortages and/or increases in costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
Page 22 of 29
(j) Mineral resource and ore reserve estimates
Mineral resource and ore reserve estimates are a subjective process based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties and modifying factors, knowledge, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Ore reserve estimation is an interpretive process based on a limited amount of geological data pursuant to JORC and applicable regimes (foreign estimates in the case of Darlot Gold Operations) and interpretations and thus estimations may prove to be inaccurate.
The actual quality and characteristics of mineral deposits cannot be known until mining and processing takes place and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop mineral resources. Further, ore reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and consequently, the actual mineral resources and ore reserves may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations.
Should Red 5's projects encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, mineral resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect Red 5's operations.
(k)
Operations generally
Gold mining and processing ore into gold are susceptible to numerous events that may have an adverse impact on Red 5's ability to extract ore and produce gold.
The Company's ability to generate sufficient annual production of gold in the medium to long term will be partly dependent on the success of its exploration programs. Exploration activities require sustained and substantial expenditure.
Other events which may have an adverse impact on mining operations include (but are not limited to) inclement weather conditions (including cyclones and flooding), seismic activity and other natural disasters; unexpected maintenance or technical problems, failure of key equipment, electrical power interruptions, environmental hazards (including discharge of metals, pollutants or hazardous chemicals), safety related stoppages, ingresses of water, failure of mining pit slopes, dams and waste stockpiles and interruptions due to transportation delays. The island of Mindanao in the Philippines where the Siana mine is located experiences heavy rainfalls which have previously disrupted operations and resulted in significant pit dewatering requirements.
The occurrence of any of these events may result in higher operating costs, increased maintenance costs or ongoing unplanned capital expenditure and an inability to meet gold production targets, which would have a material adverse impact on operational results and financial position.
(l) Environmental regulations and risks
National and local environmental laws and regulations in jurisdictions in which Red 5 operates affect nearly all of the operations of Red 5 and its affiliated companies. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality, provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to remediate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. The Group will minimise the potential impact of these laws and regulations by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and, where possible, by carrying appropriate insurance.
Significant liability could be imposed on Red 5 for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of properties acquired by Red 5, including the Darlot mine and the KoTH project, or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. This could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial and operational performance.
Page 23 of 29
(m) Regulations
The Company's operations are subject to government laws, regulations and policies governing (among other things) taxation, exploration, production, exports, labour standards, occupational health and safety and environmental protection. Any future changes in these laws, regulations or policies may adversely affect the Company's operations.
As an Australian domiciled company listed on the ASX, changes in relevant taxation, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and Government policies in Australia, may have an adverse effect on operations and ultimately the financial performance of Red 5 and the market price of its securities.
(n)
Occupational health and safety
Red 5's operations are subject to a variety of industry specific health and safety laws and regulations which are formulated to improve and to protect the safety and health of employees. Mining operations are inherently hazardous. While the Group seeks to implement best practice procedures in occupational health and safety, the occurrence of any industrial accidents, workplace injuries or fatalities may result in workers' compensation claims, related common law claims and potential occupational health and safety prosecutions.
(o)
Tailings storage facility
The storage of tailings at Red 5’s tailings storage facility(s) may present a risk to the environment. Red 5’s Philippine affiliated company made application in July 2016 for an amendment to the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for the Siana gold mine to enable construction of additional tailings storage facilities for the open pit mining operations. The application is still pending and there can be no certainty that the approval of the requested amendments will be received or within time frames which continue to impact on the economic viability of the operations. Continued delays also impact on the ongoing running costs to maintain the Siana mine which also affects ongoing working capital funding requirements.
(p) Consents from surface land holders
The Philippines Mining Act sets out the requirement for entities wishing to access mineral permits for the purpose of exploration, development and utilisation to receive the consent of the surface owners or occupants of the land in writing prior to such access and to pay them an appropriate amount of compensation.
The Group has identified an area which is ideal for the staged development of a new tailings dam. Approximately 40 hectares of land area is required for the first stage. All affected land owners have been identified and the Group has commenced negotiations to purchase the land.
Although seeking such consent is a common task for mining companies in the Philippines, there is no guarantee that it will be a fast or cost effective process.
(q) Availability and cost of mining equipment and skilled labour
Increases in worldwide mining activities may create cost pressures for services and skilled personnel in the gold industry, which may affect Red 5's ability to purchase or hire equipment, supplies and services and to recruit skilled personnel. In addition, the availability of equipment and services is affected by the level and location of mining activity around the world. An increase in activity in the Philippines or Western Australia or in other areas in Asia and Australia may reduce the availability of equipment and services to Red 5 and its affiliated companies.
Page 24 of 29
In addition, due to ongoing demand for most mineral commodities, there is significant demand for many mining and processing inputs, which has resulted in shortages, as well as longer lead times for delivery and increases in pricing, of mining equipment and metallurgical plant, strategic spares and critical consumables. The reduced availability of equipment, services and skilled personnel may delay Red 5's development and production activities, which may adversely affect Red 5's operations and increase costs. A shortage of skilled labour in the Philippines, Western Australia and the Asia Pacific regional mining industry generally could result in Red 5 having insufficient skilled and experienced employees or contractors to operate its business, which could adversely affect Red 5's business, results of operations and financial condition.
(r) Sovereign and political risks associated with operating in the Philippines
The Siana gold project is located in the Philippines and the Group is therefore subject to the risks associated with operating in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties.
Terrorist attacks against mining companies have occurred in the Philippines and on the island of Mindanao, where the Siana mine is located. The Group has not experienced any attacks to its operations since inception, however there is no guarantee that there will not be any terrorist activities against the Group in the future. The Group maintains good relations with the local community and a large proportion of the workforce is sourced from the neighbouring villages, which assists in reducing the risk of any terrorist activity. Recently, the Philippines President has declared Martial Law in Mindanao and though it has not affected industries operating in the region, it brought about rebel unrest and several rebel attacks against the military and private industries in the past months. This may adversely affect the Company’s current and future operations in the Philippines.
(s) Philippines Government Mining Policy, Executive Order 079
In January 2012 the Philippines Government issued a new mining policy termed Executive Order 079 ( EO79 ). The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the E079 have been issued. However there is a risk that any further changes under the E079 policy may adversely affect the Group’s operations in the Philippines.
(t) Philippine foreign acquisition laws
A foreign entity may only hold up to a maximum of 40% of the voting rights of any company holding a Philippine MPSA (mineral production sharing agreement). The restriction on foreign ownership relates to the ownership of an MPSA and its holder, the operation of an MPSA, the total physical area that may be held by a foreign held entity and the role that a foreign person may have in an entity that has more than 40% of an MPSA or MPSA holder.
Red 5 has considered this in structuring the holding of its assets and has set up a structure of affiliated companies which comply with the current Philippine foreign ownership laws. However, there is a risk that the current or future structure of Red 5's holdings may be subject to alteration due to changes to Philippine foreign ownership laws.
(u) Insurance
Red 5's business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions (including cyclones), floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mining or production facilities, personnel injury or death, environmental damage to Red 5's properties and the properties of others, delays in development or mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Page 25 of 29
Although Red 5 maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all of the potential risks associated with its operations. Red 5 may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover those risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Losses from any of these events may cause Red 5 to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on its financial performance and results of operations.
(v) Litigation
Legal proceedings may also arise from time to time in the course of Red 5's business. Red 5 may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute, if proven, may impact adversely on Red 5's operations, financial performance and financial position. As at the date of this Offer Document, Red 5 is not involved in any legal proceedings the result of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of Red 5.
4.3 Risks related to an investment in the New Shares
(a) Dividends
Dividends to be declared are at the discretion of the directors. There is no guarantee as to future earnings of Red 5 or that Red 5 will be profitable and there is no guarantee that Red 5 will be in a financial position to pay dividends in the future or any franking credits attaching thereto.
At the time of issue of this Offer Document, the Directors do not anticipate that any dividend will be declared in respect of the current financial year and no dividends are anticipated to be declared for the foreseeable future.
(b) Liquidity and realisation risk
There can be no guarantee that an active market in Red 5's Shares is maintained. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the Issue Price.
(c) Share market price risk
Share market conditions may affect the value of Red 5’s quoted securities regardless of Red 5’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as general economic outlook, the behaviour of global share markets, interest rates and inflation rates, commodity price fluctuation, currency fluctuations, changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors, the demand for, and supply of, capital and terrorism or other hostilities.
The occurrence of any one or more of these factors may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less than the Issue Price or below the net asset value per security.
(d) Dilution risk
Red 5 may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer in the future. If any additional funds are raised through the issue of further securities, Shareholders’ voting and relevant interest in Red 5 may be diluted if they do not participate in the issue.
Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.
