ASX Listing Update
London 13 December 2010
Introduction
The Company announces that it has today lodged with the Australian Securities &
Investments Commission ("ASIC") a prospectus dated 13 December 2010 (the
"Prospectus") pursuant to its proposed listing on the Australian Securities
Exchange ("ASX").
The Prospectus is only available to Australian residents and affords Australian
residents the opportunity to subscribe for up to 15,000,000 shares in the
Company at an issue price of $0.40 (approximately 25p) each to raise up to
$6,000,000 (the "Offer").
The Company may at the sole discretion of the directors accept
oversubscriptions for up to a further 7,500,000 Shares to raise up to an
additional $3,000,000.
The Prospectus is drafted on a post Consolidation basis as defined below and as
disclosed in `Notice of General Meeting' announcement on 29 November 2010.
Shareholders should note that the Offer Price assumes the consolidation has
taken place.
Application will be made to ASX within seven days after the date of the
Prospectus being lodged for listing of the Company's shares offered under the
Prospectus on the ASX.
Shares offered under the Prospectus will trade on the ASX by way of CHESS
Depositary Interests ("CDIs").
The Offer is not underwritten and is conditional on the Company obtaining
approval, at a Shareholders' meeting scheduled for 15 December 2010, to
consolidate its securities and amend its Articles to comply with the ASX
Listing Rules.
Consolidation terms
As previously announced on 29 November 2010, the Company is proposing to
consolidate its issued share capital (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation
will result in every two Existing Ordinary Shares (being ordinary shares of one
pence each in the capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the issue
of the Circular) being consolidated into one New Ordinary Share (being ordinary
share of two pence in the capital of the Company).
The Consolidation would give rise to fractions of New Ordinary Shares where a
Shareholder's total holding of Existing Ordinary Shares at the Record Date is
not exactly divisible by 2. Fractions of New Ordinary Shares will not be
allotted to shareholders. The Company is proposing that the Existing Ordinary
Shares which represent the Fractions should be aggregated and sold by the
Company with the proceeds of sale donated to Sharegift, an enterprise which
specialises in the field of charity share donation.
Shareholders will receive New Ordinary Shares following the Consolidation on
the basis of one New Ordinary Share for every two (or multiples of two)
Existing Ordinary Shares rounded down to the nearest 2 Existing Ordinary
Shares.
If the resolution to approve the Consolidation is passed at the General Meeting
on 15 December 2010, that day shall serve as the record date for the purpose of
the Consolidation. The following morning, 16 December 2010, the New Ordinary
Shares in the Company will be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary
Shares will have the ISIN Code: GB00B4KDJB03.
A "frequently asked questions" supplement relating to the Consolidation is
available on the Company's website.
Independent Geologist's Report
The Prospectus contains an Independent Geologist's Report ("IGR") on the
Bullabulling Gold Project which the Company is developing with its joint
venture partner, Auzex Resources Limited. The IGR is available as a standalone
document on the Company's website.
The Prospectus and IGR include a resource statement in line with the resource
update provided by the Company on 16 August 2010, being an initial estimation
that the Bullabulling Project contains Inferred Mineral Resources of
approximately 41.5 Mt at an average grade of 1.5 g/t Au for approximately
2,000,000 ounces of gold at a cut off of 0.7 g/t Au reported in accordance with
the JORC Code.
The Joint Venture has commenced a $2 million drilling programme at
Bullabulling. Work to be undertaken includes:
* a 5,000 metre Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling programme with a view to
upgrading the recent Inferred Mineral Resource estimate to Measured and
Indicated Mineral Resource categories;
* a 12,000 metre infill RC drilling programme with the objective, subject to
drilling results, of expanding the known Inferred Mineral Resource
estimate; and
* a further 1,200 metres of diamond drill core within the primary zone for
metallurgical test work.
The Company has commenced a feasibility review and scoping study to assess the
commercial viability of developing a gold project at Bullabulling.
Purpose of the Offer and Use of Proceeds
As stated in the notice of General Meeting posted to Shareholders, the Company
is pursuing a listing on the ASX to, firstly, raise the profile of the Company
in the market where its principal asset is and, secondly, generate and take
advantage of interest from Australian investors. The directors believe that
raising funds from Australian investors at the time of the ASX listing is in
shareholders' best interests and will enable the Company to continue to develop
the Bullabulling Project. This will be achieved through the completion of a
feasibility study, whilst at the same time seeking to grow the project Mineral
Resource base through infill and extensional drilling along the prospective 6
kilometre long Bullabulling trend.
The Directors are seeking to raise funds which, together with the funds already
raised from UK investors in November, will be put towards the development of
the Bullabulling project and in particular to fund the feasibility study.
