(Dana) and Altech.

The filing of the minute brings to an end the dispute between Dana and the Company. As announced on 9 May 2016, Dana has agreed that it will purchase exploration licence E70/3923 from the Company (excluding mining lease application M70/1334, 100% owned by Altech) at Meckering, Western Australia for $2.0 million.

Dana has paid a $250,000 non-refundable deposit to Altech and it will pay the balance of the consideration to Altech within 5 business days of the grant of mining lease M70/1334.


M70/1334 Mining lease application M70/1334 covers an area of ~85 hectares and sits within the boundaries of the 94 hectare block of freehold farming land that the Company has an option to acquire (refer ASX Announcement dated 6 May 2016, for details).

Access to the lease is via a maintained gazetted public road which links directly to the Great Eastern Highway that runs east from Perth to Kalgoorlie.

In April 2016, the Company completed a grade control drilling program at Meckering to assist in planning its future kaolin mining operations, the drilling program was confined to within the area of M70/1334
