Overview
The Board of Radar Iron Ltd (“Radar”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2015.
Radar announced during the quarter the signing of an exclusive option agreement with Israeli Company Weebit Nano Ltd, to acquire 100% of a world leading Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) technology. The technology is the next generation of “Flash” memory and is essential as new applications require reduced physical size but a significantly expanded data storage capacity. Full details were released in an announcement to the ASX on November 11, 2015.
During the quarter the Company focussed on the negotiation of this agreement and the due diligence process – Radar announced the satisfactory completion of due diligence to the ASX on January 7, 2016. During the current quarter Radar will focus on gaining the required regulatory and share holder approvals to permit completion of the acquisition – scheduled for April 2016.
The current addressable market for Flash Memory is approximately US$37B – ReRAM can replace Flash Memory and is expected to be widely in use by 2018. Weebit's technology is world leading being an order of magnitude smaller in size, faster, more reliable and with lower energy usage. It is at the forefront of current technology being closer to commercial development than other new generation memory products. Further technical information was included in the ASX announcement on January 15, 2016, “Semiconductor Industry Miniaturisation Breakthrough”.
No on ground exploration was completed during the quarter. Given the intended change in direction for Radar the Company is reviewing options to realise value for the assets.
A General Meeting of shareholders was held on October 27. All resolutions were passed. The resolutions largely related to the ratification of previously announced funding and remuneration arrangements.
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held on November 30 – all resolutions were passed relating to procedural and governance issues.

YERECOIN PROJECT
Radar Iron Ltd acquired the Yerecoin Iron Ore Project in April 2014.
The Yerecoin project area is within approximately 150km of Perth and is adjacent to an accessible rail line. Yerecoin has been drilled with sufficient density to enable resource estimation. The Company has reported JORC 2012 Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources of 383Mt – refer ASX releases of 24 April 2014 “ Major Project Acquisition ” and 8 September 2014 “ Yerecoin Resource Upgrade ” as available on the Company’s website www.radariron.com.au .

CORPORATE
On October 27 shareholders approved in general meeting to issue securities to convertible noteholders who had earlier loaned funds to Radar to allow both the completion of the Yerecoin acquisition in April, and the reinstatement to trading on the ASX in August. Shareholders also approved the issue of a number of securities to Radar’s directors in consideration for remuneration foregone, or services performed which were similarly instrumental in bringing Radar to its current activities. The issue of these securities was announced on 9 December.
On 11 November Radar announced its agreement to make the strategic acquisition of Weebit Nano Ltd, the Israel based “Resistive Random Access Memory” (“ReRAM”) technology company partnering with Prof James Tour and Rice University’s Tour Lab Group in Houston, USA (Global Leader in Materials Technology).
Due diligence has been completed, the option exercised and $150,000 in option fees paid.
The remaining conditions precedent for completion of the acquisition include;
-
In exchange for 100% of the issued capital in Weebit, Radar agreed to issue 750,000,000 Radar shares to the shareholders of Weebit, which will be subject to ASX escrow provisions.
-
ASX providing conditional approval for Radar to be re-instated to trading on the ASX
-
Recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules,
-
Obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals
-
Radar undertaking a Capital Raising for at least A$5,000,
-
Radar will also issue 50,000,000 options to acquire Radar shares (exercisable at a 25% premium to the Capital Raising price on or before the date that is 3 years from the date of issue) to parties who introduced and assisted with the Transaction.
