ASX Code: BML
TO: COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTS OFFICE ASX LIMITED DATE: 3 SEPTEMBER 2013
BOTSWANA METALS LIMITED TO RAISE $564,471 RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE & APPENDIX 3B
Botswana Metals Limited (“BML”) refers to its announcement titled “Update on Funding Options” released to the market on 23[rd] July 2013 and announces that the company will undertake a renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $564,471 (before costs).
The issue follows BML being advised by BCL Limited (“BCL”) that they are unable to invest directly into BML. However BCL are keen to move forward with the Joint Venture agreement subject to the conditions of that agreement – namely three Retention Licences being issued to BML by the Department of Mines (“DOM”) in Botswana.
In that respect, BML has asked the DOM for clarity in respect to concerns raised in their letter dated 5[th] August 2013. BML has requested that the DOM specify exactly what information BML must provide in order to meet the requirements for the grant of the Retention Licences.
The funds raised in this issue, will be used for working capital purposes and to address the Company’s immediate cash needs as it awaits the decision of the DOM on the Company’s major exploration assets under Retention Licence applications lodged by the Company in respect to the areas of three Prospecting Licences 110/94, 111/94 and 54/98. The term of these PL’s was recently extended to the 31[st] of December 2013.
Need for Funds
The company’s cash position is such that additional funds are required to pay administrative and operating costs until a decision is made by the DOM on the application for the grant of Retention Licences. The Company is relying on the granting of the Retention Licences in order to commence the Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement with BCL whereby the costs of the BML’s Botswana operations including geological and operational staff along with administration costs will be covered and paid by the joint venture.
Given the prevailing market environment and the last sale price of $0.005 per share as at the close of trading on 27[th] August 2013, the Board has determined that a discount to market is appropriate to attract shareholder interest and participation. The Board has given serious consideration to the dilution created by the issue and balanced that with the need to hold sufficient funds to cover working capital requirements for the next two quarters.

Based on a new cost structure implemented in July 2013, the Board believes the issue will raise sufficient funds to cover BML’s working capital needs for at least two quarters and possibly beyond.
The issue has been priced to encourage shareholders to take-up their rights and a future incentive is provided by the granting of one option for every one share subscribed for. The Board believes this will encourage shareholders to take up their rights, and the options have the potential, if exercised, to raise additional funds for BML.
BCL Limited Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement
Part of the funds proposed to be raised will be applied to cover costs associated with continuing to pursue BML’s application for three Retention Licences as described above.
The granting of the Retention Licences over the areas of these three Prospecting Licences is a condition precedent for the commencement of the Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement with BCL (as previously advised to the ASX). If these Retention Licences are granted, BCL, under the joint venture agreement, can spend an initial US$4 million on a drilling program to earn 40% of the projects over these areas.
BCL has the option to continue to fund the projects to the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) to earn a 70% interest.
At that point BCL will have the off-take rights at commercial prices, to any ore mined. It is planned to truck ore to the BCL smelter operations at Selebi Phikwe for processing. Selebi Phikwe is situated 55km to the southwest of our project.
BML will retain a 30% interest after the BFS is completed, at which time the management of the projects will be transferred to BCL.
Details of the Rights Issue are as follows
The Board of BML announces a renounceable Rights Issue (“Rights Issue”) to eligible shareholders on the following terms:
-
Three (3) new ordinary fully paid shares (“New Shares”) for every two (2) shares held at the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.002 per new share.
-
For every one New Share subscribed, one (1) option exercisable at $0.015 each at any time up to 5pm AEST on 31 December 2016 (“Expiry Date”) will be issued to the subscriber at nil cost.
-
The Rights Issue is expected to raise approximately $564,471 before expenses.
-
The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing issued shares of the Company.
-
The maximum number of New Shares offered under the Rights Issue Offer is 282,235,323
-
The maximum number of New Options offered under the Rights Issue Offer is 282,235,323.

Use of Proceeds from the Rights Issue
The background to the need to raise funds for working capital requirements is as follows:
-
In accordance with the Mines and Minerals Act 1999 of Botswana, during September 2012 the Company lodged three Retention Licence applications for areas included within the former Prospecting Licences 110/94, 111/94 and 54/98;
-
In the December 2012, March 2013 and June 2013 quarterly activities reports to the ASX the Company advised that it was still awaiting a decision from the DOM as to whether the Retention Licences would be granted;
-
The Company has maintained the exploration team in Botswana with a view that the team will be necessary to implement the Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement with BCL, however the granting of the Retention Licences is a condition precedent of the Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement coming into effect;
-
The delays in approving or otherwise of the Retention Licence applications has meant that the Company has had sole responsibility of maintaining the exploration team in Botswana, leading to a considerable drain on the Company’s financial resources by such delays;
-
On the 6[th] of August 2013 BML received a letter from the DOM advising that:
-
The three Retention Licence applications were inadequate as the feasibility study report was incomplete and not to the satisfaction of the DOM in accordance with Section 27(1) of the Mines and Minerals Act 1999, in particular the adequate delineation of mineral resources and reserves for a development of a reasonable mining project.
-
BML has 90 days from 5[th] August 2013 to remedy the deficiency noted above and show cause as to why the Retention Licence applications should not be rejected.
-
The validity of the three Prospecting Licences 110/94, 111/94 and 54/98 had been extended to 31[st] December 2013 in accordance with Section 79(a) of the Mines and Minerals Act.
-
On the 26[th] August 2013, following ongoing discussions between BML and the DOM, BML wrote to the DOM requesting that the DOM and the Ministry of Mines supply specific details as to the alleged inadequacies and omissions in the Retention Licence applications and advise BML exactly what information must be provided to make those applications acceptable to the DOM and the Ministry.

The funds will be used to:
-
do all that is necessary to continue with the applications for Retention Licences over areas of BML’s previous Prospecting Licences 110/94, 111/94 and 54/98 containing the Maibele North Ni+Cu project and the Airstrip & Dibete Cu+Ag project;
-
fund the costs of implementing the Farm-in Joint Venture Agreement with BCL Investments (Pty) Ltd (“BCL”) to enable BCL to conduct future exploration and evaluation of the Maibele North- Ni +Cu project and the Airstrip & Dibete -Cu+Ag project with the Retention Licence areas; and
-
for working capital purposes generally. The Board is looking to raise sufficient funds to cover at least two quarters of its working capital requirements based on a new cost structure implemented In July of 2013.
