Commenting on the transaction and new Board, Charles Entrekin, Chairman
said:
We are delighted to have reached an agreement with the Belridge
shareholders to acquire this high-quality and near-production project.
This project, when back in production, will provide Melior with a solid
platform for further growth. I welcome Joe, Glenn, Martyn and Mark to
the Board, and believe their combined expertise will be invaluable as
we move towards the re-start of the Goondicum operation .”

Overview of the Goondicum Project

The Goondicum Project is a brownfield ilmenite project located in
Central Queensland, Australia, 30 km due east of the township of Monto.
The project, currently on care and maintenance, benefits from
significant historical investment of over A$120 million on
infrastructure and processing equipment, expected to allow for a
cost-efficient re-start of the operations (The A$120 million historical
investment is based on information with respect to the book value of
its assets and historical transactions provided by Belridge, and has
not been audited). Further, the Goondicum ore body is well understood
due to a history of exploration and resource evaluation activities.

The Goondicum Project is located within the Goondicum crater, a
topographic feature roughly circular and 6 km in diameter containing
significant ilmenite, apatite (phosphate rock), titano-magnetite and
feldspar mineralization. The project comprises a mining lease
(ML80044) which covers approximately 20 percent of the Goondicum Crater
and exploration leases covering the remainder of the crater, providing
significant opportunity for resource and mine life extension.

Current mineral resources for the project, reported at a cut-off grade
of 2.5% available ilmenite, are estimated at 31.3 million tonnes of
Indicated Resource and 30.9 million tonnes of Inferred Resource
providing 1.90 and 1.93 million tonnes respectively of in-situ
ilmenite.

(1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may
be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

(2) The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in
this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient
exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as an indicated
or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration
will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral
resource category.

Mineralisation is planned to be mined via basic open-pit excavations
using scrapers, excavators and trucks. The mineralisation is present
from surface and there is no requirement for any overburden removal or
for blasting or ripping of the resource.

The mineralisation will be trucked to a centrally located process plant
for extraction of ilmenite and apatite. As part of the project
re-start, it is envisaged the process plant will be upgraded from a
nominal capacity of 1.8 million tonnes of mineral feed per annum to
approximately 2.8 million tonnes per annum, lowering the operating cost
structure significantly. Management believes that there is scope to
further increase this level through a relatively low-cost upgrade of
key processing equipment once the plant is back in operation.

The process plant employs conventional mineral sands upgrading processes
including scrubbers, screens, cyclones, wet magnets and gravity
spirals. Magnetic separation is then used to separate ilmenite from
other by-product materials.

The ilmenite product was previously hauled 260km from the mine site to
the port of Gladstone where it was shipped around the world to various
customers. There is potential to reduce this haulage distance from
260km down to 160km with the construction of a new 22km mine access
road, lowering off site logistics costs significantly. Further
evaluation of this cost-saving opportunity will be conducted during the
mine re-start process.

The project has historically sold over 61,000 tonnes of ilmenite product
to pigment customers and management believes the product’s performance
is well understood and accepted in the market.

A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report has been
prepared and will be filed by Melior on the System for Electronic
Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR“) within the next 45 days.

Overview of Ilmenite and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

Ilmenite is a titanium dioxide mineral which is used primarily in the
production of pigments for paints, coatings, plastics, inks and other
products. TiO2 feedstocks are used in the pigment production process due to its
ability to impart brightness, opacity, strength and durability to the
pigment. Management believes that TiO2 feedstocks face limited risk from substitution as there are few viable
feedstock alternatives which produce pigment of equivalent quality.

The Proposed Transaction

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that Melior Australia Pty Ltd.
(the “Purchaser“), a direct subsidiary of Melior, will acquire 100% of the issued share
capital of Belridge in exchange for the issuance by Melior of
38,087,971 common shares of Melior (the “Consideration Shares“) to Belmont Park – Monto Pty Ltd (48.68%), Panorama Ridge – Monto Pty
Ltd (48.68%) and Sashimi Investments Pty Ltd (2.62%) (the “Belridge Shareholders“), in each case in their capacity as trustees. Each Belridge
Shareholder is a company formed in Australia. The Consideration Shares
would represent 18.0% of Melior’s issued and outstanding shares
immediately after closing of the Proposed Transaction. Closing of the
Proposed Transaction is subject to Exchange approval and other
customary conditions. Melior expects closing to occur within the next
4 to 6 weeks.

Melior would commit to invest up to US$15 million in the Goondicum
Project, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable legal and
regulatory requirements and fulfillment of all permitting, approval and
licensing requirements necessary to successfully achieve a full
re-start of the Goondicum Project. Melior’s board of directors would
direct and have ultimate approval over the total amount invested and
the drawdowns and conditions for the expenditure of these funds.

Following Closing, the Belridge Shareholders would be entitled to
receive an earn-out payment, payable in Melior common shares (or, at
Melior’s election, in cash) based on the performance of Melior by
reference to its share price (“Earn-out Consideration“). The parties have agreed to predetermined earn-out payment amounts
should Melior’s share price reach predetermined levels with such
predetermined levels being well in excess of the market price of
Melior’s common shares as of the effective date of the Share Purchase
Agreement. The maximum number of Melior common shares that could be
issued as payment for the Earn-out Consideration is 38,087,971. The
Earn-out Consideration will be available for a period of four years
from the date of Closing (“Validity Period“).

  • Change of control during the Validity Period: If a change of control event (as defined below) occurs during the
    Validity Period and the price at which the Melior common shares are
    trading exceeds specified levels above the current market price, the
    Belridge Shareholders would have a right to receive the Earn-out
    Consideration on a pro-rata basis.
  • No change of control during the Validity Period: In the event that no change of control event occurs during the
    Validity Period, the Belridge Shareholders would, at the end of the
    Validity Period, be entitled to receive the Earn-out Consideration, on
    a pro-rata basis, if the trading price of the Melior common shares
    exceeds specified levels above the current market price.

A change of control event is defined as any party or parties acting in
concert, other than Pala Investments Limited (Melior’s current majority
shareholder, “Pala Investments“), acquiring more than 50.0% of the fully diluted common shares of
Melior. The payment of the Earn-out Consideration would be subject to
the satisfaction of customary eligibility and performance conditions
including the continuation of operations of the Goondicum Project and
the Belridge Shareholders continuing to hold all the Consideration
Shares. For example, assuming that no change of control occurs during
the Validity Period, the Earn-out Consideration payable at the end of
the Validity period will range from zero (if the Melior share price is
less than C$0.41 per share) to 38.1 million shares if the Melior share
price exceeds C$1.11 per share.

The Consideration Shares will be placed in escrow for a period beginning
on the date on which Closing occurs (the “Closing Date“) and ending two years after the Closing Date. Should Melior have a
successful claim against the Belridge Shareholders during the escrow
period, such claim may be satisfied by cash or by a return of the
Consideration Shares with equivalent value to such claim. Consideration
Shares returned to Melior are to be valued based on the price of Melior
common shares on the Closing Date.

Following Closing, the Belridge Shareholders will be entitled to
nominate one director to the board of directors of Melior for so long
as they together hold at least 10.0% of Melior’s issued and outstanding
common shares.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that the
Corporation’s listing status will change from that of a Tier 1
Investment Issuer to a Tier 1 Mining Issuer.

A finder’s fee of A$250,000 is payable by Melior to a third party on
closing of the transaction.

As the Proposed Transaction is a “Change of Business” transaction,
pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.2 Melior shareholder approval is
required. Melior’s majority shareholder, Pala Investments, has provided
written consent approving the Proposed Transaction which constitutes
the requisite shareholder approval. The Proposed Transaction will be at
arm’s length, and accordingly, will not require shareholder approval
beyond that described above.

A Filing Statement in respect of the Proposed Transaction will be
prepared and filed in accordance with Policy 5.2 of the Exchange on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction. A press release will
be issued once the Filing Statement has been filed as required pursuant
to Exchange policies.

Sponsorship

The Exchange has conditionally waived the sponsorship requirements of
Exchange Policy 5.2. The Corporation expects that a final waiver of the
sponsorship requirement will be obtained prior to closing.

Loan Arrangement

Pursuant to a loan agreement, Melior has agreed to provide Belridge with
short term financing in an aggregate amount of up to C$500,000 for
ongoing operational costs. It is intended that any amounts outstanding
after Closing will be refinanced in a tax efficient manner for Melior.

Board of Directors

In recognition of the expected transition of Melior from a Tier 1
Investment Issuer to a Tier 1 Mining Issuer, the Board has been
reconstituted with operationally experienced executives who can support
and guide the Corporation in its next phase of growth as a mining
company.

The Corporation would like to thank departing directors Remo Mancini,
Muneeb Yusuf and Evgenij Iorich for their stewardship of the
Corporation as an Investment Issuer and for their successful
identification of both Asian Mineral Resources and the Goondicum
Project investment opportunities.

Commenting on the transaction, Remo Mancini said:

On behalf of Muneeb Yusuf, Evgenij Iorich and myself, I would like to
say how pleased we are with the Belridge acquisition. The Board’s
mission of transforming Melior from an investment company into a soon
to be full-fledged significant operating entity has been successfully
achieved and positions Melior well to drive growth in shareholder value

Melior welcomes Glenn Black, Joe Connolly and Martyn Buttenshaw who have
now joined the Board as new directors. It is expected that Mark
McCauley
will join the Board as a director and become Chief Executive
Officer of Melior upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Technical Information

Mineral resources were estimated by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd (“H&SC”), a
geological consultancy based in Sydney, NSW, Australia and are reported
in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators National
Instrument 43-101.The effective date of the mineral resources estimates
disclosed in this press release is February 25, 2014.

The scientific and technical information, in this press release has been
reviewed and approved by Simon Tear (BSc (Hons), MIAusIMM, PGEO,
EurGeol, MIMO3) a director H&SC, Graham Lee (BSc, FAusIMM, CP(Geo)), an
Associate of H&SC and Chris Desoe (B.E.(Min)(Hons), FAusIMM, RPEQ,
MMICA) a director of Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd,
who are all Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101.

For detailed technical information please see the technical report
prepared by H&S Consultants Pty Ltd, which will be posted on Melior’s
SEDAR profile.

The Goondicum crater is a layered gabbro complex with the mineralisation
for the resource estimate (covered under ML80044), measuring
approximately 3.5km by 1.3km and is up to 25m thick. The gabbro in the
area under investigation has undergone multiphase oxidation and erosion
producing a relatively complex weathering pattern of the host rock. A
new geological model has been developed with four mineralised units
being delineated from drilling information and surface
topography/mapping, thought to represent in situ to short-distanced
transported material from both alluvial and gravity slide (soil creep)
processes. The decomposed gabbro is believed to be in situ.
Mineralisation comprises resistive ilmenite liberated by the relatively
complex weathering process.

Reporting of the resource estimates used a 2.5% available ilmenite
cut-off grade and a partial percent volume adjustment factor for the
2013 topographic surface (Table 1). Classification of the resource
estimates is primarily based on the search criteria after consideration
of other impacting criteria e.g. grade continuity, QAQC, sample
recovery, density and geological understanding. The ‘recoverable
ilmenite’ field is the available ilmenite values multiplied by the
anticipated plant recovery factor of 0.8 established by metallurgical
testwork.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of the Indicated and Inferred Resources
and the Ordinary Kriging search ellipses in plan view.

The resource estimates are based on 224 aircore drillholes for 2,394m
drilled in 2009. Drill spacing was on a nominal 125m on an MGA94 Zone
56 orthogonal grid projection. The aircore drilling generated chip
samples that were collected as bulk samples for each 1m drilled
interval. The samples were transported to the Goondicum Minesite where
they underwent sub-sampling prior to magnetic separation. The samples
then underwent size and magnetic fraction analyses at Belridge’s
minesite before dispatch of selected composited intervals to Downer EDI
Mining – Mineral Technologies Pty Ltd (Mineral Technologies) for
Clerici float/sink testwork. The QAQC for the sampling has included
the use of a matrix-matched standards and field duplicates of the
original aircore samples with no significant issues reported. A total
of 997 by 1m composites were used to model ‘available ilmenite’ and
2,430 by 1m slimes composites were modelled for the slimes grades.

Reconciliation of the new H&SC block model with the 2012-2013 production
showed a 10% difference which is considered acceptable for an Indicated
Resource.

Further exploration opportunities exist within the remainder of the
Goondicum Crater as some of the earlier drilling work by Monto Minerals
had intersected significant amounts of similar style mineralisation
within the Crater.

A feasibility study has not been completed and there is no certainty the
proposed operation will be economically viable.
