1 FOR 2 PRO-RATA RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS OFFER OF NEW SHARES, WITH AN ENTITLEMENT
TO ADDITIONAL LOYALTY SHARES IN 12 MONTHS
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited, I present to you a 1 for 2 pro-rata renounceable rights issue, for your
consideration.
As Shareholders would be aware, the proceeds from previously rights issues have been principally applied towards the
development of the Company’s main asset (the Talisman mine), including undertaking the complex regulatory application
and approval processes.
Over the period since the last capital raise of the Company, the Company has made significant progress. The Company
however is, and has been, undercapitalised and not had the resources required to realise the full expected potential of the
Talisman mine and the other opportunities the Company has before it in a timely and efficient fashion.
The Company has attempted to address this issue by devoting considerable time and resources to identify and bring
forward tactical production opportunities utilising its Bulk Sampling plan with a view to generating some cash flows, which
could be utilised to fund, in part, the development of the Talisman mine to its full potential. The mining of high grade
epithermal gold deposits does offer tactical potential and promise, however, in the case of the Talisman mine, despite
some initial promise, a combination of resourcing, geology and circumstance has meant this was not achievable at the
scale required to resource further development of the Talisman mine within the timeframe required.
It is the view of the Board and Management that continued pursuit and prioritisation of limited scale production is
ultimately counterproductive, and will not allow for the Talisman mine’s full potential to be realised. To realise the value
inherent in the Talisman mine, more conventional equity funding for development is required in line with industry practice.
Any tactical near-term production opportunities, in accordance with the Bulk Sampling plan, whilst welcome, should be
regarded as ancillary to the primary objective of the development of the underlying full potential of the Talisman mine in
accordance with industry norms.
The Company aims to pursue full mining approvals to allow for mining activities beyond what is allowed for under its
Bulk Sampling plan approvals. The achievement of such approvals will provide the requisite confidence to invest and
commission a (offsite) commercial scale processing plant.
We continue to be of the view that the Talisman mine, and the other value enhancing projects the Company has been able
to secure, have considerable merit and will offer value to Shareholders within the short and medium-term.
In particular, in the short-term, the planned spin-off of the exploration centric Coromandel Gold Limited (“CGL”),
a subsidiary of the Company, and its envisaged separate market listing, should provide some additional return to
Shareholders.
We remain satisfied that the Company continues to offer an attractive opportunity to investors and that we will be able to
continue to fund the Company’s requirements, as demonstrated by the Company’s recently completed Private Placement,
raising AU$670,000 (announced on 14 September 2021).
Existing shareholders are being offered the first opportunity to take up this new equity issue. The Company intends to
raise up to approximately NZ$3.13 million (before costs) through this renounceable rights issue.

The Offer
The Company is offering 1,563,612,682 New Shares at an Issue Price of NZ$0.002 or AU$0.002 per New Share, on the basis
of 1 New Share for every 2 Existing Shares held as at the Record Date (23 September 2021).
In addition, one loyalty share will be issued for nil consideration to subscribers in the Offer for every 3 shares in the
Company held as at 12 months after the allotment date of that shareholders’ New Shares (provided that an entitlement
to loyalty shares will be capped at a number equivalent to one third of the number of New Shares subscribed for in the
rights issue).
All Eligible Shareholders are entitled to participate in this Offer. If you accept your Entitlement in full, you can also apply
for Additional New Shares (i.e. Shares in excess of your pro rata Entitlement) through the Oversubscription Facility. If you
do not wish to take up your Entitlement under the Offer, you will be entitled to sell your Rights off-market.
The structure and generous pricing of this Offer allows all Eligible Shareholders an opportunity to participate directly in
the continued scaled development of the Talisman mine and the Company’s other opportunities.
Please note that applications to participate in the Offer can only be made online at shareoffer.co.nz/ntl. Only shareholders
on the register at the Record Date with an address in New Zealand or Australia can participate in the Offer.
I commend this Offer to you and look forward to you joining us in realising the evident potential of the Company.
Yours sincerely,
Charbel Nader

BUSINESS UPDATE
Refocus and Restructure
The Company has reviewed its operations and opportunities,
taking the decision to refocus and restructure its current
operation and objectives as set out below.
Coromandel Gold Limited (“CGL”)
In the short term, the Company plans to distribute to
Shareholders equity in CGL (currently a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company). CGL is anticipated to hold some prospective
exploration assets which the Company has been able to acquire
and develop on what it regards as advantageous terms.
It is then planned for CGL to seek a separate listing on the
NZX (after satisfaction of the listing requirements). This allows
Shareholders to realise value from the exploration expertise
and base metals database compiled by the Company in its two
decades of operating as an explorer.
All shareholders at the time of distribution would receive a
direct equity interest in CGL at nil consideration. However
no assurance can be given that NZX will accept CGL for
listing.
CGL has recently acquired Capella Vanuatu Limited, which owns
a highly prospective exploration project in Vanuatu. CGL intends
to acquire (subject to receiving the required approvals under the
Crown Minerals Act 1991 and completion of definitive binding
documentation) the Broken Hills Gold mine (“Broken Hills”)
which in the Company’s view, despite its previous owners sole
focus on small scale production over the last 20 years, offers real
potential as a highly prospective advanced exploration project.
It also important to note that the Company intends to enter
into an agreement with CGL to secure a first right of refusal to
develop the exploration assets when they are ready to progress
to advanced development and mining.
Further detail on CGL and Broken Hills is provided below.
Talisman mine
The at scale development of the Talisman mine remains the
Company’s core objective. In furtherance of the development
of the Talisman mine, the Company has identified a need
particularly given the limited opportunity for development at the
mine location, for a site to accommodate the storage of materials
and the installation and commissioning of processing plant. Over
the last 12 months, the Company has reviewed site options and
a suitable site has been decided upon within the region of the
Talisman mine. The site has the significant benefit of 3 phase
power and consenting as an industrial site allowing stockpiling
and processing to get underway as required. A lease agreement
has been negotiated and should be finalised in the near term.
In addition, the Company has engaged, and has initiated test
processing work, with NZIMR who have indicated an interest in
a joint arrangement for processing, the terms of which are being
negotiated.
It is the view of the Company’s Board and Management that
continued pursuit and prioritisation of limited scale production is
ultimately counterproductive, and will not allow for the Talisman
mine’s full potential to be realised.
The Company aims to pursue full mining approvals to allow
for mining activities beyond what is allowed for under its Bulk
Sampling plan approvals. The achievement of such approvals
will provide the requisite confidence to invest and commission a
(offsite) commercial scale processing plant.
The Bulk Sampling plan will continue to be pursued in aid of
informing the development of the Talisman mine. Any tactical
near term production opportunities, in accordance with the Bulk
Sampling plan, whilst welcome should be regarded as ancillary
to, the primary objective of the development of the underlying
full potential of the Talisman mine.
Over the last 5 years, significant works have been undertaken
to restore the mine and complete underground refurbishments
which is expected to facilitate the realisation of Talisman mines
full potential.
The Company intends to utilise the current consents to address
development of the second egress and preparing Mystery and
Dubbo for extraction activities.
The move to full mining permitting will also require the Company
to update its prefeasibility study and mine plans to encompass
new data acquired over the recent period of extraction and
development underground.
Corporate
Whilst a project review and strategic assessment is critical, it is
also important to undertake a review of all corporate governance
and associated matters. With that in mind, the Board has resolved
that it would be in the best interests of stakeholders if the board
size was restored to a Board of five.
To that end, the Board has invited Kelly Wyse and Victor Rabone
to join the board in order to strengthen the board skills base and
add diversity to the Board in line with best corporate governance
practice.
It is beyond question that Board diversity is important and that
the participation of female board members on listed and unlisted
companies alike improves outcomes and performance both at
the Board level and in terms of shareholder value.
The Board will continue to consider its composition and actively
seek opportunities for renewal and further diversity on all fronts.
We have also considered the focus and direction of the
Company in terms of its project portfolio and, notwithstanding
the challenges that have faced the Company, the Board remains
committed to the Talisman mine and believe consenting for full
mining is a necessary important next step.
Subject to raising sufficient capital under this Offer, the Company
intends to commence a search for a General Manager/Principal
Engineer with a proven track record in bringing development
projects into full production. The General Manager would
oversee the next phase of consenting and underground activities
and complete the definitive feasibility study while full mining
consents are under application.
The Company anticipates that up to $1 million of the Offer
proceeds will be used for the direct listing and project
development of CGL and its two projects: Capella Vanuatu
and the completion of the Broken Hills acquisition. See further
information on these projects below.
Additionally, proceeds from this Offer may be applied to a joint
processing facility for the Company and CGL at the industrial site
the Company has recently identified, and for which Broken Hills
and Talisman existing equipment and stockpiles are anticipated
to be installed and overseen by CGL, given the site location is
within short distance from the Broken Hills mine.

Tenements Held by the New Talisman Group of Companies
Current permits
• Talisman Mine - Minerals Mining Permit 51326 (100% owned by the Company); and
• Capella Vanuatu – Prospecting License 1851 (100% owned by CGL).
Permits intended to be acquired
(subject to receipt of required approvals under the Crown Minerals Act 1991)

TALISMAN MINE - OVERVIEW
The Company holds a 25 year mining permit granted in 2009 covering 299 hectares, including the former Talisman and Crown-Welcome
mines. The permit lies between the towns of Waihi and Paeroa in the Hauraki Goldfield and includes mines with total historical
production (from the 1880s to 1992) of 1 million ounces gold and 3 million ounces silver. Additionally, the Company has recently
applied for an Extension of Land encompassing the former Rahu permit area which (if granted) will see the Talisman footprint expand
to encompass the Rahu area of which the Company continues to hold private land access agreements allowing long term options for
alternate access outside that within the Department of Conservation land as well as having considerable potential for extensions of
the gold mineralisation at Talisman.
Figure 1 - Aerial Photograph of the Talisman Mine
This photograph illustrates the location of the 8 Level Portal nestled within a narrow valley. The portal is connected to the tar sealed
Crown Hills Road via a gravel road winding through the forest park.
As announced initially, the Bulk Sampling project was envisaged to target easily accessible high grade ore blocks in the Dubbo area.
Following entry into the Dubbo excavation, the area was highly unstable and the hanging wall had collapsed revealing previously
unknown and unmapped excavations 20m above the Maria Vein where exposed in the Dubbo section. Significantly more capital is
required to access the ore blocks than originally budgeted in the Bulk Sampling phase. As such, economic contribution of the Bulk
Sampling phase was significantly reduced, requiring that further development towards the objective of full commercial production to
be equity funded. Development works are planned to resume upon the successful close of this Offer.
Subject to sufficient capital being raised through this Offer, the Company intends to submit resource consent applications for
commercial scale mining for the duration of the mining permit and commission a commercially viable processing plant at a site
proximal to both Talisman and Broken Hills for which a commercial lease agreement has been negotiated.
Additionally, on the completion of the intended acquisition of Broken Hills, CGL would acquire certain equipment that could be
utilised in the new processing plant including crusher, gravity separation and a ball mill. These could be mobilised to the site as part
of the plant construction.
Stockpiled ore at Talisman would be transported to the new plant site following execution of the commercial lease under the certificate
of compliance currently held. Following the close of this Offer stockpiles and plant is expected be transported to the processing plant
site and plant construction, and commissioning is expected to commence shortly thereafter using the Talisman ore stockpiles.

During 2019, the Company updated the Pre-Feasibility Study
which investigated and recommended options to mine the
Mineral Resources discovered through the Company’s exploration
programs using techniques tested during the initial Bulk
Sampling excavation works underground at Talisman over the
last 2 years. Based on the outcome of the updated Pre-Feasibility
Study, the Company was able to announce the expanded Mineral
Resource which has grown from 205,000 oz gold at a grade of
6.9g/t in 2006(JORC 2004) to 350,000 oz gold (JORC 2012) in 2020
at a grade of 17 g/t gold equivalent as set out in the table which
follows. The resource estimate was updated prior and it was peer
reviewed by AMC consultants to the requirements of JORC 2012
as set out below. As part of the next phase, the current consents
are expected to be fully utilised to address the recommendations
following the AMC review by the mine team and will aim to
increase the resource categories in the current resource which
are mainly inferred into indicated and measured.
During the next phase of developing toward full mining, the
Prefeasibility study will be updated to encompass the fuller
Talisman Deeps area and take into account further data
uncovered through excavations at Mystery and Dubbo areas.
An update to the initial scoping study on the Talisman Deeps
area was completed in 2018 – see the Company’s announcement
here. This is expected to allow the maximisation of volumes to be
extracted and plant configurations to meet those volumes which
is expected to be included in the probable application to be
made for resource consents immediately following completion
of this Offer.
The aim is to build and commission a full scale plant (where
the ore is planned to be processed) which will be installed
and commissioned while development works are undertaken
underground. Underground development works will utilise the
existing Bulk Sampling resource consents to determine the
maximum volumes to be commercially extracted and processed
over the full mine life. This should allow the increase in resources
and reserves ensuring the maximisation of returns to shareholders
over the remaining life of the 25 year mining permit granted in
2009. The underground and plant activities are expected to be
undertaken in parallel with the application to gain full mining
consents and access agreements to ensure consistent and
sustainable mining over the life of the permit.
As has been previously announced, the Health and Safety at
Work Act 2015 (NZ) and mining regulations requires that a second
egress from the mine is developed to allow emergency access
and escape routes for underground personnel in the case of an
emergency. Options have been identified and development of
the safest and most cost effective option will be progressed as
part of the Mystery and Dubbo development, subject to raising
sufficient capital under this Offer.

The table below excludes the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Crown/Welcome vein system, that were not reassessed during
2019 and were not included in the review by AMC but remain part of the total Talisman Mineral Resource. Resources attributable
to the Crown/Welcome system were estimated previously at 31,000 equivalent bullion ounces. This information was prepared and
first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the
information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

Note: Data sources include historic bullion samples, drill holes and underground channel samples
• Mineral Resources are reported on a 100% basis to a nominal 2.2 Bullion equivalent grams per tonne cut-off grade which was
determined in 2017 based on estimates of mining costs, metallurgical recoveries, treatment and refining costs, general and
administration costs, royalties, and commodity prices.
• Ounces are estimates of metal contained in the Mineral Resource and do not include allowances for processing losses.
• For reporting purposes, all resources are reported as equivalent bullion values, due to bullion values rather than gold and silver
grades being the only grade information that is available for historic channel samples. Conversion of more recent gold and silver
values to equivalent bullion values uses the formula: Equivalent bullion grade = Gold grade + (Silver grade * 0.031609), which
is based on historical prices of gold and silver. The equivalent bullion value of the resource is the same as an estimated gold
equivalent grade due to the manner in which the historic and modern bullion values have been determined. Bullion conversions
by NTL were based on a constant gold price of at £4-6s-0d/oz or USD20.47/oz during the period of historical production. Silver
prices ranged from USD 0.49 to USD 1.03/oz.
• Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Gold ounces are reported as troy ounces. Rounding as required by
reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.
The Company is aware that the updated estimate of mineral resources within the Maria and Mystery Veins is likely to have a material
effect on the outcome of any previously announced studies and/or Ore Reserves.

COROMANDEL GOLD LIMITED - OVERVIEW
As previously announced, the Company’s strategic review outlined
the basis for restructuring the Group to have a parent company
with an exploration subsidiary focused on the south pacific,
including New Zealand, in order to provide Shareholders with a
value on the extensive expertise in grassroots exploration that the
Talisman mine has built over the last few decades of operation.
The first of the assets to be vended into CGL is the Capella Vanuatu
project. Subject to receipt of required approvals under Crown
Minerals Act 1991, and completion of the acquisition, the second
asset would be the Broken Hills Gold mine. Although Broken Hills
operates under a mining permit and special mining permit and has
extracted millions of dollars in gold over the last 20 years, it has a
requirement for substantial exploration following the Company’s
analysis of the geological and mine planning data during due
diligence.
CGL will look to maintain and oversee the operation of its plant
and equipment at the Talisman mine identified for developing
a processing facility near the Broken Hills mine. As noted, the
Company plans to distribute to Shareholders equity in CGL. As
noted above, the Company plans to seek a separate listing of CGL
on the NZX (after satisfaction of the listing requirements). This
would allow Shareholders an opportunity to realise value from the
exploration expertise and base metals database compiled by the
Company in its two decades of operating as an explorer.
CGL is expected to hold some prospective exploration assets
which the Company has been able to acquire and develop on
what it regards as advantageous terms. CGL is inviting all existing
Shareholders interested in more information and participating in
any potential offers for shares in the a listed CGL to send an email

BROKEN HILLS - OVERVIEW
Subject to receipt of all required approvals under the Crown Minerals Act 1991, CGL intends to complete an agreement to acquire
100% of the shares in Broken Hills Historic Mine Limited (“BHG”), following the Company entering into a binding term sheet in
January 2021.
The final sale and purchase agreement
includes the purchase of Mining Permit 53173
and Special Purpose Mining Permit 42024
which cover the historic Broken Hills mine
near Tairua on the Coromandel Peninsula.
The acquisition includes all of the assets in
BHG which includes a significant amount of
plant and equipment for underground mining
and processing using gravity separation. The
acquisition also includes all maps, plans, data
and other geological databases developed
by the Rabone family over the last 20 years.
The Broken Hills mine has been developed
and mined by a family group on a small
scale for over 20 years in an environmentally
sustainable manner. Assuming receipt of
required approvals under the Crown Minerals
Act 1991, the completion of the Broken
Hills acquisition would provide a number of
additional benefits to the Talisman mine and
any future CGL shareholders, the environment
and the community at large. The Broken Hills
mine uses narrow vein mining techniques
that are proven to maximize extraction of
high grade ore and minimization of dilution
with negligible environmental impact.
The Broken Hills mine utilizes rail as the main ore transportation method and an electric locomotive to haul rolling stock.
The Broken Hills mine is an example of a rhyolite hosted epithermal gold silver deposit and is one of the few economic gold deposits
of this type on the eastern side of the Coromandel Peninsula.
Gold and silver mineralization at Broken Hills is hosted in a series of north, northwest trending, steeply westward dipping quartz veins
that pinch and swell from several centimeters up to several meters. Up to 6 main veins are recognised to date.
Additional ore is found in hydrothermal breccia and breccia pipes. The deposit is regarded as representing the upper levels of an
epithermal system as evidenced by the presence of hot spring sinters and hydrothermal breccia. This gives scope in the future of
depth continuations of the deposit.
Below is a 3D perspective view of the current mine workings that the Company’s consultants have developed as part of the due
diligence process that shows the extensive workings both historic and new development by the Rabone family.
The Company is particularly encouraged by
the fact that modern mining has been confined
to the current battery level and drives off this
but there has been virtually no development
at depth. The Company sees an opportunity
to establish a substantial resource below the
current workings, evidence of this potential is
indicated by the results of historic drill hole
ACM DDH-03 that intersected 4 veins approx.
40m vertically beneath the current workings.
(Drilled by ACM minerals in 1989)
ACMDDH-03: 73.0-74.0m, 1.0m @ 6.3g/t Au,
84.0-85.0m, 1,0m @ 4.0g/t Au
121.0-122.05m,1.05m @35.0g/t Au
158.95 – 160.0m. 1.05m @4.8/g/t Au
Of note is that this rhyolite hosted deposit style is now recognised to have potential to host major gold deposits and Broken Hills
is located around 20 kilometers north of the largest deposit of this type of mineralization discovered to date, the Wharekirauponga
deposit which is currently being developed by OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (ASX: OGC) where they have announced
Indicated and Inferred resources of approximately 1.45 million oz of gold and 2.3 million oz of Ag.

VANUATU EXPLORATION PROJECT - OVERVIEW
In July 2021, the Company announced the completion of an agreement to acquire the Vanuatu assets of Canterbury Resources
Limited (ASX:CBY). The announcement to the NZX can be found here.
The assets include the granted prospecting licence PL 1851 known as Tafuse, comprising 9,269 hectares and a prospecting licence
application covering the Navaka or Ora prospect, both on the island of Espiritu Santo.
Satellite image of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu showing prospect
The islands of Vanuatu are located on the Pacific “Rim of Fire”, the active tectonic boundary between the Pacific and Indo-Australian
Plate which is known to host several major world-class porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold deposits.
Extensive gold copper mineralisation occurs throughout the Pacific Rim, which stretches from New Zealand northwards to Fiji,
then to Papua New Guinea and branches out through the Philippines and the Indonesian Islands through to Japan. Recently there
have been a number of major discoveries including Porgera (7 Moz) and Lihir Island,(30Moz), PNG, Hishikari in Japan, Kelian in
Indonesia, Waihi, (10Moz), New Zealand, Vatukola, (11Moz), Fiji.
This acquisition represents an opportunity to acquire a strategic holding in a highly prospective part of the Pacific Rim.
By world standards, Vanuatu is extremely underexplored. Modern exploration for gold started in the mid 1980’s and with sporadic
bursts mainly in the 1990’s and briefly in the early 2000’s.
The Company’s technical team recognize the close similarities of Vanuatu gold mineralisation and geological setting to that of New
Zealand’s Hauraki gold deposits which hosts world class deposits such as the Talisman and Martha Hill deposits in Waihi and the
Thames Bonanza gold deposits.
The Tafuse project on the island of Espiritu Santo consists of several prospects each at differing stages of exploration as shown in
the map below. The most advanced is Tafuse North which covers a 3km by 4km area of epithermal style mineralisation consisting
of quartz veins, quartz vein stockworks, and hydrothermal breccias. Within this is a well-defined 800m by 250m alteration envelope.

Tafuse North has lain dormant since 1986. Canterbury Resources is the first company to explore since 1986 where it has ground
truthed the historic exploration results in 2019. This work included taking petrological samples that showed typical low sulphidation
epithermal mineralisation including visible gold and electrum as inclusions in quartz veining as shown in the photo micrographs over
the page.

The Tafuse prospect has well defined drill targets and landowner agreements in place. There are several other prospects within the
permit of similar dimensions and indications of gold mineralisation that with well-directed and funded exploration programmes can
be brought to drill status rapidly. The following diagram is a summary diagram of Tafuse North with previous exploration highlights.
The planned initial exploration programme is expected to have the following key elements:
• Review of Canterbury’s database and historic databases that form part of the acquisition.
• Surface exploration including completion of geological mapping and geochemical sampling, surveying to confirm drill targets
at the Tafuse prospect.
• Initial scout drilling of Tafuse prospect target.
Exploration of the other 8 identified prospects within the wider Tafuse Prospecting Licence to define drill targets.
In addition, the Ora prospecting license application to the west of Tafuse was recognised by Placer Pacific in 1993 as having potential for
structurally controlled intrusive related high grade copper gold mineralisation in porphyry intrusives and related skarns. Reconnaissance
geological mapping and geochemical sampling for gold and copper would be a first step in assessing the prospectivity of this area.
As an exploration asset, the Company recognises that with well-directed exploration in Vanuatu the potential to add value by discovery
is high given the geological similarities of gold mineralisation to Coromandel deposits and other gold deposits in nearby nations to
Vanuatu.

OTHER DISCLOSURE MATTERS
Private Placement
On 10 September 2021, the Company announced that it had secured a AU$670,000 investment by way of a private placement to
sophisticated and institutional Australian investors for 335,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company. In the Company’s announcement
to the market, it was stated that the shares were issued on the same terms as this Offer.

FMA allegations about Matt Hill social media website postings
The Board acknowledges the announcement by the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (“FMA”) on 12 August 2021, relating
to a civil lawsuit it planned to bring against CEO Matthew Hill alleging misleading postings by Mr. Hill on the Sharetrader social
media website. The Company released a response to that FMA announcement on the same day confirming that it is not aware of
any further details about the FMA’s civil claim, other than what was contained in the announcement. As at the date of this document,
the Company has no further information and understand that the claim is still yet to be served on Mr. Hill.
To be clear the claim is not a criminal prosecution, and is not against New Talisman at all. Mr. Hill has indicated he strongly disputes
what little he knows about the allegations made. As the claim will be before the courts in due course, which will ultimately decide if
it has any merit, the Board has no further comment on the matter.
A copy of the Company’s announcement can be found here found here.
Sharetrader matters
Leaving aside the FMA allegations, New Talisman has its own concerns about a number of defamatory, misleading and unsubstantiated
comments on the Sharetrader website, and the website publisher and site administrator’s failure to moderate that site.
The company has written to Sharetrader putting its publisher and site administrator on notice of its concerns and reserving all of the
company’s legal rights, including the taking of defamation or other civil proceedings.
NZSA queries on 2021 Financial Statements
The Company released its 2021 Annual Report and 2021 Financial Statements on 30 June 2021. Following the release, the Company
received queries from a shareholder and the New Zealand Shareholders Association (“NZSA”) in respect of the Company’s 2021
Annual Report.
The Company released an announcement on 26 August 2021, addressing the following queries:
• The “Sundry Income” of $246k (out of total revenue of $247k). There is no breakdown or explanation provided as to what
comprises this income?
• An increase in “Stock on Hand” of $244k (note 15, Cashflow Reconciliation), that does not appear on the Balance Sheet as a
current asset.
• Further detail on the ‘related party transaction outlined in note 9 of the accounts.
A copy of the announcement can be found here.
Following the 26 August announcement, the Company received further queries from NZ RegCo on 2 September 2021 in relation to
the treatment of inventory in the Company’s 2021 Financial Statements.
The Company has responded to NZ RegCo’s initial queries within the requested timeframe, however the matter is still ongoing. NZ
RegCo sent the Company some additional queries on 14 September 2021 which the Company is still considering. NZ RegCo has
not indicated to the Company that it has no further enquiries.
The Company notes more generally (regarding the Financial Statements) that the carrying value of Assets under Construction in the
Balance Sheet may be impacted by:
a. a review the carrying value of Assets under Construction on a regular basis, and in this regard, an external assessment was
conducted in June 2018 by Geos Mining. The Company plans to have an new assessment completed in the current financial
year; and
b. a review of the calculation of Assets under Construction after a potential issue has been raised by NZ RegCo on 14 September
2021 which, as at the date of this document, the Company is still considering.
Communications with NZ RegCo regarding 2019 Share Purchase Plan calculations
The Company has been in recent communication with NZ RegCo regarding an inadvertent breach of the NZX Listing Rules in relation
to the Company’s 15% Placement capacity under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1. The issue relates to the Company’s 2019 Share Purchase Plan
and the number of securities issued following placement of the shortfall in the Company’s Share Purchase Plan that had been first
offered to shareholders.
The Company had 2,181,539,687 shares on issue prior to its capital raise (which includes NTLOB options at the relevant time). The
2019 Share Purchase Plan offer document stated that the Company intended to combine the Share Purchase Plan and 15% Placement
provisions in the NZX Listing Rules, giving a total of 20%, or 436,307,937 shares.
18 | NEW TALISMAN GOLD MINES LIMITED
OFFER DOCUMENT
The Company’s capital change notice (released 24 July 2019) recorded 252,204,137 shares being issued, leaving a remaining “balance”
of 184,103,800 shares that could be issued.
The follow-on “shortfall offer” which was launched on 26 July 2019 resulted in the Company issuing a further 275,476,885 shares, which
was above the “balance” noted above.
The Company inadvertently miscalculated the 15% headroom left in its capacity to issue shares without a shareholder vote at the time
of the September 2019 shortfall Placement, which increased with the loyalty share allotments. The miscalculation primarily arose
because NZX had changed its listing rules in 2019 to cap the number of shares that could be issued under a share purchase plan at
5% of the share capital, with the balance required to be issued under the 15% rule. Until then a share purchase plan could comprise
30% of the Company’s capital, consistent with the ASX listing rules.
As required by the relevant ASX forms, the Company calculated the Placement headroom left in September 2019 and there was then
sufficient headroom for ASX purposes.
The Company has since ratified the 2019 deficit by board resolution.
The Board is of the view that the NZ RegCo inquiries do not, in themselves, raise a continuous disclosure issue and therefore an
announcement in respect of the miscalculation has not been released to the market.
However, the Company has been put on notice that the NZ RegCo Market Conduct team is continuing to investigate the matter.
There is a possibility of NZ RegCo taking disciplinary action against the Company for the inadvertent breach through the NZ Markets
Disciplinary Tribunal.
Intended share consolidation
Following completion of the Rights Issue, the Company intends to consolidate the shares on issue (including entitlements to loyalty
shares) into a smaller number of shares, with details of the record date and ratio of shares consolidated to be advised in due course.
September 2022 Options
The Company currently has 17,036,384 options on issue, quoted by NZX and ASX under code NTLOB. The options were issued in
connection with the Company’s share purchase plan and the terms of issue are set out in the Share Purchase Plan offer document
dated 28 August 2017. Clause 6.7 of the Terms of Issue provides:
If, after the issue of the Options, a rights issue, bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision or similar proportionate reconstruction or
other event or circumstance occurs in relation to the Shares, the Board may, if and to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, amend
the exercise price and/or number of underlying securities in respect of the Options.
As at the date of this document, the Board has not determined what, if any adjustments, it might make under clause 6.7 of the Terms
of Issue of the options, or to reflect the intended consolidation of the Company’s shares following completion of the rights issue.
Intended sale of less than A$500 post rights issue share parcels
Under the Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules and ASX Listing Rules, the Company is permitted to exercise its power
of the sale of shares held by any person with less than a “Minimum Holding” (NZX Listing Rules) or “marketable parcel” (ASX Listing
Rules) of A$500.
If you currently hold less than A$500 of shares (25,000 shares at the Issue Price, pre any share consolidation), in accordance with
clause 16.1 of the Company’s constitution, NZX Listing Rule 8.1.6(c), and ASX Listing Rule 15.13 the Board gives you notice that at
the expiration of not less than three months after this notice, the Company may exercise its power of sale unless you increase your
shareholding to more than A$500 shares (25,000 shares, pre the share consolidation), whether through the rights issue or otherwise,
unless you expressly request that the Company does not do so by writing to jane@newtalisman.co.nz. The Company will arrange to
pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, after deducting reasonable sale expenses as long as the amount payable exceeds A$2.50.

5. The New Shares
5.1 New Shares issued under the Offer will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements
as, existing fully paid Shares quoted on the ASX and the NZX Main Board.
5.2 The New Shares to be issued under the Offer have been accepted for quotation on the NZX Main Board, and New Talisman
will apply for the Shares to be quoted on the ASX, with effect on or shortly after the Final Allotment Date. You cannot trade
in any Shares issued to you pursuant to the Offer, either as principal or agent, until official quotation on the ASX and the NZX
Main Board in accordance with the Listing Rules. New Talisman expects the Shares will commence trading on the ASX and the
NZX Main Board on the Trading Day after New Shares are allotted (which is as and when valid applications are received and
processed), but in any case, no later than the Final Allotment Date (that is, on 26 October 2021 on the current timetable). The
NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX Limited, which is a licensed market operator regulated under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013. Neither NZX nor ASX accepts any responsibility for any statement in this booklet or the online
application portal.
6. Loyalty Shares
6.1 Promptly following 12 months after the allotment date of each respective allotment of New Shares for each respective participating
Eligible Shareholder, the Company will issue or transfer to those shareholders issued New Shares under the Offer one loyalty
share for every three shares subscribed for that the shareholder otherwise holds at 12 months after the respective allotment
date for that Shareholders’ New Shares, for nil consideration (provided that an entitlement to loyalty shares will be capped at a
number equivalent to one third of the number of New Shares subscribed for in the rights issue).
6.2 Participating Eligible Shareholders may therefore trade New Shares purchased and allotted under the Offer between allotment
and the 12 month anniversary of their allotment, and still be eligible for their loyalty shares. So long as those Shareholders hold
an equivalent number (or more Shares) as the New Shares issued under the Offer on the 12 month anniversary of New Shares’
allotment, those Shareholders will be eligible for their full entitlement of loyalty shares.
Example: A shareholder holds 60,000 shares and is entitled to 30,000 Rights. The shareholder subscribes all rights taking her
holding to 90,000 shares. If the shareholder continues to hold 90,000 shares in 12 months, she will be issued 10,000 loyalty
shares. If she sells 15,000 shares during the 12 months, she would be issued 5,000 loyalty shares. If she sells 15,000 shares but
later on during the year buys 25,000 shares she would be issued 10,000 loyalty shares.
7. No Underwriting of the Offer
The Offer is not subject to any underwriting arrangement.
8. Amendments to the Offer and waiver of compliance
8.1 New Talisman will not change these Terms and Conditions (subject to its discretion to revise the timetable). However, New
Talisman reserves the right to waive compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. If New Talisman waives
compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions, that waiver may, if so expressed, apply to all Eligible Shareholders.
8.2 New Talisman reserves the right to, in its absolute discretion, modify, suspend, withdraw, terminate or correct the Offer, at any
time. New Talisman will notify the NZX and ASX if it does so modify, suspend, withdraw, terminate or correct the Offer.
8.3 New Talisman may issue fewer Shares than an Eligible Shareholder applies for under this offer (or none at all) if New Talisman
believes that issuing those Shares would break any law or any of the Listing Rules.
9. Oversubscription Facility
9.1 Eligible Shareholders who accept their full Entitlement may also apply for Additional New Shares (in excess of their Entitlement)
at the Issue Price pursuant to the Oversubscription Facility.
9.2 Applicants may apply for any number of Additional New Shares, but there is no guarantee that Applicants will be allocated any
or all of the Additional New Shares for which they apply. The number of New Shares available under the Oversubscription Facility
will equal the number of New Shares for which valid applications are not received by the Closing Date.
9.3 The number of New Shares in the Oversubscription Facility will be allocated, subject to there being a sufficient number of New
Shares in the Oversubscription Facility, by reference to existing holdings, the number of pro-rata to the number of Additional
New Shares applied for (as a proportion of all such remaining unsatisfied applications), and such other matters as the board of
the Company considers appropriate (subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules). The Company’s decision on any scaling
will be final.
10. Partial acceptance
10.1 If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you are not required to subscribe for all of the New Shares to which you would be entitled
under the Offer. You may subscribe for a proportion of your New Shares or allow your Entitlement to lapse.
11. No Rights trading
11.1 The Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board or by ASX and accordingly there will be no established market for Rights.
If you wish to sell your rights privately to a buyer you identify, you should contact the Registry to request a Security Renunciation
Form.
