Dear Directors
Re: Range River Takeover Offer for Firestone
On 7 March 2013, Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited (Deloitte) issued an independent expert’s report (IER) in
relation to the Takeover Offer for Firestone Energy Limited (Firestone) by Range River Gold Limited (Range River).
Our opinion was that the Takeover Offer was neither fair nor reasonable to non-associated Firestone shareholders.
Regulatory Guide 112 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission requires us to consider all new
information that may have a material impact on our opinion subsequent to its issue.
Range River released supplementary Bidder’s Statements on 19 March 2013 (First Supplementary Bidder’s Statement)
and 27 March 2013 (Second Supplementary Bidder’s Statement). Range River has made a number of other public
announcements providing additional information and updates on related matters. The key matters set out in the First
Supplementary Bidder’s Statement were fully considered in our IER as they were originally announced via the Range
River notice of general meeting issued on 21 February 2013.
The Second Supplementary Bidder’s Statement and the other public announcements are referred to as the New
Information. We have considered the New Information and have completed our analysis of the effect of the New
Information on our opinion.
Our opinion has not changed and remains that the Takeover Offer is neither fair nor reasonable to non-associated
Firestone shareholders.
Yours faithfully
Nicki Ivory
