3.1 Introduction
On 22 September 2014 the Company announced a transaction with Victory Mining Pty Limited ( Victory Mining ), a private investor in the resources sector based in Sydney backed by high net worth shareholders, under which Victory Mining would:
-
(a) subscribe for 26.1m Shares at an issue price of $0.035 per Share to raise approximately $915,000 ( Placement ); and
-
(b) fully underwrite a non-renounceable entitlement offer at a minimum issue price of $0.035 per New Share to raise approximately $4.6m ( Entitlement Offer ).
The Placement and Entitlement Offer will allow the Company to pay the outstanding purchase price for the Yerecoin Magnetite Project (refer to ASX
Page 4
announcement 1 May 2014) and provide sufficient working capital to advance project studies for production at Yerecoin.
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities a company can issue in a 12 month period to 15% of its issued share capital, except for certain issues, including where first approved by Shareholders. The effect of passing Resolution 1 is to allow the Company to issue Shares in accordance with the Resolution without those securities being included in the 15% limit, and allow the Company to complete the Placement.
Shareholder approval to approve the underwriting of the Entitlement Offer will be sought at the Company’s annual general meeting, to be held on or about 7 November 2014.
3.2 Material terms of the Placement and Entitlement Offer
On 19 September 2014 the Company and Victory Mining signed a binding term sheet ( Term Sheet) , under which:
-
(a) Victory Mining will subscribe for and the Company agrees to issue 26.1m fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.035 per share to raise $913,500, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions by no later than the Placement End Date:
-
(i) the Company obtaining all necessary ASX approvals;
-
(ii) there being no material adverse change to the Company or its assets;
-
(iii) there being no material breach of any warranty given by the Company; and
-
(iv) if required, Victory Mining obtaining FIRB approval.
-
(b) Victory Mining will fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer to raise $4.6m (or such other amount as the parties agree) subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions by no later than the Entitlement Offer End Date:
-
(i) the Company lodging a prospectus for the Entitlement Offer;
-
(ii) the Company obtaining all necessary approvals under the Corporations Act;
-
(iii) there being no material adverse change to the Company or its assets;
-

-
(v) if required, Victory Mining obtaining FIRB approval;
-
(vi) the All Ordinaries Index remains at all times at least 90% or more than at the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the term sheet; and
Page 5
- (vii) the Platts daily Iron Ore 62% Fe, North China price assessment remains at all times at least 90% or more than at the business day prior to the date of the term sheet.
The issue price under the Entitlement Offer will be the greater of 80% of the volume weighted average closing price for Shares over the last 20 days on which sales took place before the Rights Issue prospectus is lodged and $0.035.
It is expected the placement funds will be received by mid-October 2014 and the rights issue finalised around the end of November 2014. The Term Sheet contains usual representations and warranties for a transaction of this nature.

As announced on 4 October 2013, the Company has appointed Mandelbrot Pty Limited (trading as Lusona Capital) to assist it with identifying specific opportunities in iron ore, particularly in Latin America.

-
(a) 2.5m Options upon completion of a transaction, as contemplated in the Engagement Agreement between the Company and Lusona Capital dated 3 September 2013; and
-
(b) 2.5m Options upon shipment of first product from the assets the subject of the transaction, as contemplated in the Engagement Agreement between the Company and Lusona Capital dated 3 September 2013.
The Company and Mandelbrot Pty Limited have agreed to vary the conditions upon which the Options will vest, so that now 5 Options will vest for each $1 raised by the Company with Mandelbrot’s assistance.
Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3 (being a reduction in exercise price, or an increase the term or number of shares issued on exercise of each option) can only be made with shareholder approval. Resolution 3 seeks that approval.
