The attached announcement supersedes the SGXnet announcement (reference no. SG160701OTHRKMO5) released on 1 July 2016 due to omission of the words "Transaction" in paragraph 1.6 and "Company" in paragraph 8.2.4 as follows:-

(i) Paragraph 1.6 - The Additional Acquisition together with the Acquisition are classified a Major Transaction as defined under Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual;

(ii) Paragraph 8.2.4 - the independent valuation report would support an estimated economic value of at least S$40,000,000 in total for all of the rare earths oxides hosted by the licence perimeter area covered by the exploration permit held by the Operating Company; and

The omission was due to inadvertent error made by our external secretarial provider, Tricor Evatthouse Corporate Services. The error is regretted.
