IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Below is important information in relation to the Offers. Shareholders should read this document in its entirety and, if in doubt as to any of the matters set out in this Prospectus, should consult their professional advisers.

Summary of the Offers

As announced on 23 November 2015, the Shareholders of Noble Mineral Resources Limited (ACN 124 893 465) ( Company ) at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on that day ( Meeting ) approved a restructure and recapitalisation of the Company ( Proposal ) as summarised in the Company’s Notice of Extraordinary Meeting to Shareholders ( NOM ) dated 22 October 2015 and in Section 5.2 of this Prospectus.

Following the Meeting and receipt of Shareholder approval for the Proposal, a syndicate ( Syndicate ) headed by Pager Partners Corporate Advisory Pty Ltd (ACN 123 845 401) as trustee for the Pager Partners Investment Trust ( Pager Partners ), lent a total of $505,000 to the Company as an unsecured interest free loan. The loan funds have been applied by the Company in satisfaction of the terms of the Deed of Company Arrangement ( DOCA ), in particular the requirement to pay $505,000 to Messrs Martin Jones, Darren Weaver and Ben Johnson of Ferrier Hodgson ( Deed Administrators ) for the purposes of satisfying approved creditors’ claims under the creditors’ trust deed ( Creditors’ Trust Deed ).

Following the effectuation of the DOCA on 24 December 2015, the Company was removed from external administration. At the Syndicate’s election, the loan funds will either be reimbursed to the Syndicate by way of subscription for Securities under the Offers, or will otherwise be repaid.

The recapitalisation of the Company included the consolidation of the capital structure of the Company on a one (1) for fifty (50) basis ( Consolidation ). As announced by the Company on 4 December 2015, the Consolidation has been completed. Therefore, all Securities proposed to be issued under this Prospectus are on a post-Consolidation basis.

Key Investment Risks

Prospective investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety before deciding whether to apply for Securities under this Prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors set out in Section 8 of this Prospectus, which include the following key investment risks:

Risk area Further
details
Financial reporting and AGM breaches: The Company has been under
administration since 12 September 2013. As a result of the administration, as at the
date of this Prospectus:
(a)
the Company belatedly, lodged financial accounts on 23 February 2016 for
the previously outstanding periods:
(i)
the financial year ending 30 June 2013;
(ii) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2013;
(iii) the financial year ending 30 June 2014;
(iv) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2014; and
(v) the financial year ending 30 June 2015,
(b)
the Company has failed to hold its Annual General Meetings for 2013,
2014 and 2015.
The above breaches occurred prior to the appointment of the current Board of
Directors. The Company cannot guarantee that ASIC will not take enforcement
action against the Company in respect of the past breaches outlined above.
Section 8.2.1
Renewal of CTP Licence: Whilst the Company has received representations in
support of the renewals from NMRGL Directors and the Ghanaian Mining Bodies,
the Company cannot guarantee the renewal of the CTP Licence. In the event that
the renewal of the CTP Licence is not granted prior to reinstatement to the ASX by
the Ghanaian Mining Bodies, there is a risk that the Company may be unable to
seek reinstatement to ASX.
Section 8.2.2
Mineral exploration and development risk: In the event that the renewal of the
CTP Licence is granted, the Company will be able to continue its mineral exploration
and development operations. Mineral exploration and development are high risk
undertakings, which can be affected by a range of factors outside of the Company’s
control.
Section 8.2.3
Control risk: The Securities to be placed to the Syndicate (which includes all of the
Directors) pursuant to the Proposal will constitute up to approximately 74.2% of the
Company’s fully diluted capital (assuming the Offers are fully subscribed). There will
therefore be a concentration of ownership of the Company among members of the
Syndicate (and their nominees). Some investors may consider that this increases
the risk of participating in the Offers as external investors and existing shareholders
not related to or associated with the Syndicate will only control approximately 25.8%
of the Company.
This should not be taken as a representation that the members of the
Syndicate and their nominees act in concert with one another; would be likely
to exercise their voting rights as Shareholders in the same manner; or that the
Syndicate members and their nominees as a whole are associated parties,
post-completion of the Proposal.
Section 8.2.4
Operational and technical risk: In the event that the Company successfully renews
the CTP Licence, the Company intends to continue its mineral exploration. These
future operations may be affected by a range of factors. The Company’s
performance and its ability to successfully conduct its business activities are not
guaranteed. The Company’s operations may be affected by a range of factors
outside of its control.
Section 8.2.5
Risk area Further
details
Commodity and currency price volatility: Commodity and currency prices
inherently fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the
Company. Any significant or sustained fluctuations in the commodity and/or currency
prices, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position
and performance.
Section 8.2.6
Resource estimates: Resource estimates are expressions of judgement only
based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. There are risks associated
with such estimates, including that resources mined may be of a different quality,
tonnage or strip ratio from the estimates. Resource estimates are necessarily
imprecise and may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment.
Section 8.2.7
Regulatory risk: The Company will need to obtain regulatory approvals and
licences to undertake its proposed operations in Ghana (or in any other country that
the Company may operate) and to maintain and renew tenure of its tenements
through regulatory compliances. There is no guarantee that such approvals and
licences will be granted, or such regulatory compliances accepted. In addition,
various conditions may be imposed on proposed tenements and the grant of such
regulatory approvals and licences that may impact on the tenure or the cost or the
ability to mine the tenements.
Section 8.2.8
Competition risk: The Company’s current and future potential competitors include
companies with substantially greater resources to undertake mining and exploration
activities.
Section 8.2.9
Sovereign risk: The CTP Project is based in Ghana. Accordingly, there is a
sovereign risk associated with the exploitation of the CTP Licence. The operations
of the Company may be affected by the outbreak of hostilities or an unstable political
or economic environment within Ghana and neighbouring countries. In addition,
there is an increasing culture of resource nationalism in Ghana. This may lead to
increased costs and taxation, which could adversely affect any future operations.
Section 8.2.10
New Board: The Company has recently appointed a new Board of Directors who
has limited expertise in the mining and exploration industry in which the Company
has historically operated in. However, collectively the new Board of Directors have a
broad cross section of commercial and professional experience.
Section 8.2.11
Market conditions: The market price of the Company’s Securities can fall as well
as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences in the market for
equities.
Section 8.3.2
Environment risk: The Company’s proposed mining activities are subject to
Ghanaian laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. As with all
exploration and mining projects, a variety of environmental impacts are expected,
which themselves will carry their own sets of risks.
Section 8.3.4
Future capital requirements: The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when
needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
Section 8.3.5
Other investments and acquisitions: The Company may look to complete other
investments and acquisitions in the future, the details of which are not known as of
the date of this Prospectus. Those transactions will carry their own set of risks.
Section 8.3.7
Investment speculative: The risk factors referred to in this Prospectus, and others
not specifically referred to in this Prospectus, may in the future materially affect the
financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under
this Prospectus.
Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is
speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding
whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the newly appointed Directors of Noble Mineral Resources Limited ( Company and NMG ), I am pleased to invite you to become a Shareholder of the Company.

As you may be aware, on 12 September 2013, Martin Jones, Darren Weaver and Ben Johnson of Ferrier Hodgson were appointed as Joint and Several Administrators ( Administrators and Deed Administrators ) of the Company and assumed control of the Company and its business, property and affairs.

On 26 November 2013, creditors of the Company ( Creditors ) voted in favour of a deed of company arrangement ( 2013 DOCA ) submitted by Resolute Mining Limited, which dealt with the Company’s Bibiani gold asset (via a scheme of arrangement), and also contemplated the subsequent restructure and recapitalisation of the Company including the settlement of the claims of the Creditors. The 2013 DOCA was entered into by the Deed Administrators on the same day.

Following completion of the scheme of arrangement, the Deed Administrators explored options to provide a greater return to Creditors on the Company’s remaining assets other than liquidation.

On 16 March 2015, a further meeting of the Creditors was held to consider proposals to progress the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company. At this meeting, Creditors voted in favour of a proposal presented by a syndicate ( Syndicate ) headed by Pager Partners Corporate Advisory Pty Ltd (ACN 123 845 401) as trustee for the Pager Partners Investment Trust ( Pager Partners ) for the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company ( Proposal ). If completed, the Proposal will result in sufficient capital being injected into the Company to enable it to seek to continue its business and apply for the reinstatement of its Securities to official quotation on the Australian Securities Exchange Limited ( ASX ).

On 2 June 2015, the Deed Administrators entered into a deed of company arrangement with Pager Partners to effect the terms of the Proposal ( DOCA ).

The Proposal to restructure and recapitalise the Company required Shareholder approval, and accordingly, a Notice of Meeting dated 22 October 2015 ( NOM ) was despatched to Shareholders. Pursuant to the NOM, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held on 23 November 2015 ( Meeting ). At the Meeting, Shareholders approved all of the required Resolutions to effect the recapitalisation of the Company, thereby approving the Proposal. Since then, the Company has undertaken the necessary steps to effectuate the terms of the Proposal.

On 24 December 2015, the Company announced that the DOCA had been effectuated, with the Syndicate lending the Company $505,000 to make the payment to the Deed Administrators for the benefit of the Creditors Trust, thereby allowing the Company to be removed from external administration.

On 30 December 2015, it was noted that following receipt of Shareholder approval, a new Board had been put into place and the Company had changed its registered office address.

The purpose of this Prospectus is to raise the capital, which forms part of the Proposal.

A summary of the terms/conditions of the Proposal (completion status in italics )

14

The Proposal involves the following terms:

  • (a) The Syndicate arranging for the injection of approximately $1,876,875 of cash into the Company in return for an issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company representing an interest of approximately 95.75% of the undiluted total issued capital of the Company. (Capital raising is being conducted under this Prospectus)

  • (b) The Company either retaining or transferring to a newly created wholly owned subsidiary, all of the unencumbered assets of NMG including all of the Company’s remaining assets including but not limited to NMG’s interest in the exploration licences as set out in Table 2 of this Prospectus ( Ghanaian Gold Concessions ), and to the extent they exist, any registered business names, intellectual property, goodwill, domain names, websites, customer/supplier lists, any remaining contracts (where agreed by the Syndicate), and all other assets to operate the business ( Noble Business ) be retained by NMG, or transferred to NMG (or a newly created subsidiary) from its subsidiaries. The Noble Business must remain as an unencumbered asset of the Company to enable the Company to be reinstated to trading on the Australian Securities Exchange Limited ( ASX ). In addition, all other liabilities and obligations of the Company are to be released pursuant to the terms of the DOCA. (Remaining unencumbered assets of NMG retained by the Company upon effectuation of the DOCA on 24 December 2015)

  • (c) The Company making a payment of $505,000 (which the Syndicate will forward to NMG as a loan that will subsequently be repaid via funds raised by the Company or through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company) to the Deed Administrators for the benefit of the Creditors Trust ( Cash Consideration ) for control of NMG and 100% of the Noble Business. All other liabilities and obligations of the Company up until the appointment of the Administrators will be compromised under the DOCA. Of the $505,000 Cash Consideration, $500,000 is to form the General DOCA Pool ( GDP ) and the additional $5,000 will form the Specific Creditor Pool ( SCP ) for all creditors other than Rothschild (a majority Creditor) to participate in. The GSP and SCP will be distributed in accordance with section 556 of the Corporations Act. Rothschild has agreed to not participate in the SCP, in exchange for the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Minerals Resources Ghana Limited ( NMRGL ) entering into an advisory mandate with Rothschild (material terms are set out in Section 9.2 of this Prospectus), whereby Rothschild will provide advisory services to NMRGL in exchange for an interest of up to 30% in NMRGL.

A total of up to 86.8 million First Placement Shares, up to 55.8 million First Placement Options, up to 30 million Second Placement Shares and up to 25.5 million Management Options are proposed to be issued to the Directors (or their nominees).

2.5 ASX listing

Application will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus to ASX for permission for the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus to be listed for Official Quotation on ASX. The Options offered under this Prospectus will not be quoted.

In the event that ASX does not grant permission for the Official Quotation of the Shares within 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus (or such period as is varied by ASIC) or if the minimum subscription is not met, none of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will be allotted or issued and the Company will repay all application monies within the time period set out under the Corporations Act, without interest.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation:

  • (a) in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue this Prospectus; or

  • (b) to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities under the Offers, or the Prospectus itself, or otherwise to permit the public offering of the Securities under the Offers, in any jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand.

The distribution of this Prospectus within jurisdictions outside Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of those laws. It is the responsibility of any Applicant to ensure compliance with all laws of any country relevant to their Application and to obtain all necessary approvals so that they may legally subscribe for (and be issued) Securities pursuant to the Offers.

The return of a duly completed Application under this Prospectus will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty that there has been no breach of any law, that all necessary approvals and consents have been obtained and that the Company may legally issue Securities to the respective Applicant pursuant to this Prospectus.

2.7 Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing Share certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring

22

stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of Securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders in circumstances in which there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

2.8

Commissions on Application Forms

The Company reserves the right to pay a commission of up to 5% (plus goods and services tax) of amounts subscribed to any licensed securities dealers or Australian Financial Services licensee in respect of valid Applications lodged and accepted by the Company and bearing the stamp of the licensed securities dealer or Australian Financial Services licensee. Payments will be subject to the receipt of a proper tax invoice from the licensed securities dealer or Australian Financial Services licensee.

2.9

Taxation

The Company does not propose to give any taxation advice and neither the Company, its Directors nor its officers accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequence to Applicants. Applicants should consult their own professional tax advisers in regard to taxation implications of the Offers.

2.10

Privacy Act

If you complete an Application for Securities, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company, and the share registry on its behalf, collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Securityholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Securityholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your Securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about security holders (including name, address and details of securities held) in its public register. The information contained in the Company’s public register must remain there, even if that person ceases to be a security holder. Information contained in the Company’s public register is also used to facilitate distribution of payments and corporate communications (including financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may elect to utilise to communicate with its security holders) and compliance by the Company

23

for legal and regulatory requirements. For instance, in certain circumstances details of security holder’s names and holdings must be disclosed by the Company in its annual reports.

You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

  • Notes in relation to the pro forma unaudited 31 January 2016 statement of financial position:

  • The audit reviewed figures for the period ended 31 December 2015 cover a period during which the current Board of Directors was not in control of the Company’s management and affairs.

5. COMPANY OVERVIEW

5.1 Background

The Company was registered on 13 April 2007 and commenced trading on ASX on 27 June 2008 under ASX ticker code “NMG”. Since then, the Company has operated in the mining industry, with a particular focus on gold mining and exploration in Ghana.

5.2 Administration overview

The Company was suspended from trading on ASX on 28 June 2013 at the request of the Company. On 12 September 2013 the Company was placed into voluntary administration.

On 26 November 2013, the Creditors voted in favour of the 2013 DOCA submitted by Resolute Mining Limited, which dealt with the Company’s Bibiani gold asset via a scheme of arrangement ( SoA ), and also contemplated the subsequent restructure and recapitalisation of the Company including the settlement of the claims of the Creditors. The 2013 DOCA was entered into by the Deed Administrators on the same day.

On 16 May 2014 the High Court of Ghana gave its assent on the SoA and on the 20 June 2014, the restructure conditions were final and complete and Resolute Mining became the owner of 100% of the Bibiani project.

Following completion of the SoA, the Deed Administrators explored options to provide a greater return to creditors on the Company’s remaining assets other than liquidation.

On 16 March 2015, a further meeting of the Creditors was held to consider proposals to progress the restructure and recapitalisation of the Company. At this meeting, Creditors voted in favour of the Proposal put forward by Pager Partners. If completed, the Proposal will result in sufficient capital being injected into the Company to enable it to seek to continue its business and apply for the reinstatement of its Securities to official quotation on the ASX.

On 2 June 2015, the Deed Administrators and Pager Partners varied the DOCA to effect the terms of the Proposal. The key terms of the DOCA and the Proposal were as follows:

  • the Syndicate led by Pager Partners would loan the Company $505,000;

  • the Company would pay $505,000 to the Deed Administrator for distribution under the DOCA to a Creditors’ Trust, in return for secured and unsecured creditors releasing all claims against the Company and as well as any charge over the Company;

  • certain unencumbered assets were to be retained by the Company. NMRGL will enter into an advisory mandate with Rothschild, whereby Rothschild will provide advisory services to NMRGL in exchange for an interest of up to 30% in NMRGL; and

  • a Creditor’s Trust Deed has been established pursuant to the DOCA to pay

30

the Deed Administrator’s fees and costs, the Administrator’s fees and costs and the Trustee’s fees and costs, with the balance to be distributed to creditors as full and final payment of the Company’s outstanding debts.

On 23 November 2015 at the Meeting, the Company’s Shareholders approved the following resolutions to effect the Proposal to restructure and recapitalise the Company:

  • (a) consolidate the capital on a 1 for 50 basis;

  • (b) elect Messrs Mike Hill, Jonathan Pager, Brett Chenoweth and Michael Everett as Directors of the Company;

  • (c) change the Company’s auditor;

  • (d) authorise the recapitalisation of the Company, via the issue the Securities under the First Placement and Second Placement to raise $1,876,875 before costs; and

  • (e) approve the issue of Management Options which are to be issued under the Management Placement to members of the Syndicate, Directors, key management and advisers of the Company.

Following receipt of Shareholder approval, the Company completed the Consolidation.

On 24 November 2015, the Syndicate led by Pager Partners loaned the Company $505,000 in order to effectuate the DOCA and release the Company from administration.

Subject to the successful raising of the required funds under this Prospectus, and on satisfaction of certain other conditions (which the Company considers to be standard), ASX has advised the Company that it is likely that the suspension of trading on the Company’s Shares will be lifted.

5.3 Proposed business plan

The Board intends to continue minerals exploration over the Company’s existing exploration licences, all located in Ghana, West Africa.

The Republic of Ghana is located in West Africa, on the Gulf of Guinea and shares borders with Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) to the west, Togo to the east and Burkina Faso to the north.

The Company’s Cape Three Points ( CTP ) project ( CTP Project ), which is held by NMG’s wholly-owned Ghanaian subsidiary Noble Mineral Resources Ghana Limited ( NMRGL ) lies on the eastern margin of the Ashanti Gold Belt in Southwest Ghana. The high grade, historical Satin goldmine occurs in the north western portion of the concession. The Satin mine lies 45km south of Goldfields’ and AngloGold Ashanti’s mining operations in Tarkwa, 25km southeast of Endeavour Mining’s Nzema mining operations and 19km southwest of the Golden Star Resources mining operations at Hwini Butre.

31

The project area can be reached by the main Ghana to Cote d’Ivoire highway which runs through the northern portion of the CTP concession and by dirt road which runs along the coast connecting the Cape Three Points lighthouse with Busua town. A number of minor dirt tracks cross other parts of the CTP Project however, most of the project area is only accessible by footpath.

The CTP Project originally comprised of three licences:

  • The Cape Three Points Prospecting Licence ( CTP Licence )

  • Brotet Prospecting Licence

  • The Nakroba Prospecting Licence

Collectively the three licences covered an area of approximately 102 square km’s. The CTP Licence is separated into three blocks by the Cape Three Points Forest Reserve which lies in the centre of the project area and covers approximately fifty four (54) sq. kilometres. The Brotet Licence was held by Brotet Mining Limited and NMRGL had an option agreement with Brotet Mining. In 2014 Brotet Licence was revoked by the Minister due to breach of the mining regulation on the part of Brotet Mining.

Based upon independent valuations received by the Administrators, the CTP Licence make up the large majority of any value attributable to the CTP Project.

A renewal application was filed in December 2012 for the CTP Licence. At a meeting with the Minerals Commission, NMRGL was informed that the new regulation in respect of contiguity of prospecting licences do not allow the CTP Licence to be a single licence. Subsequently, a new application was filed on 13 April 2013 to split the CTP Licence into CTP North and CTP South and consolidate the Nakroba Prospecting Licence into the CTP South application as follows:

In September 2013, the Company entered into voluntary administration and the
renewal and consolidation application was adjourned and temporarily suspended.

NMRGL has since reinstated the application to consolidate the CTP South and Nakroba Prospecting Licenses into one prospecting license to be known as Cape Three Point South PL. On 4 September 2015, the Minerals Commission of Ghana ( MinCom ) informed NMRGL in writing that the Commission will recommend to the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources to grant the merger of the Cape Three Points South prospecting license, subject to the payment of an annual mineral right fee which the Deed Administrators have since paid.

Based on information provided by the current Ghanaian directors of NMRGL ( NMRGL Directors ) to the Deed Administrators, the NMRGL Directors have held discussions with the Ghanaian Minerals Commission and the Ghanaian Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources ( Ghanaian Mining Bodies ) on several occasions in person. The feedback from the Ghanaian Mining Bodies to the NMRGL Directors has been positive, and the NMRGL Directors have advised that the renewal of the CTP Licenses is likely to be granted subject to the Company being successfully recapitalised. However, to date, the Ghanaian Mining Bodies have not provided a written commitment to renew the applications, as they are holding off their decision to renew these until completion of the Company’s recapitalisation.

On 22 September 2015, the Deed Administrators received written Ghanaian legal advice confirming that whilst the renewal process is underway with MinCom:

  • (a) NMRGL has the present entitlement to access the area covered by the CTP Licences;

  • (b) NMRGL has the present entitlement to spend money via undertaking exploration on the CTP Licences now; and

  • (c)

  • these prospecting rights are exclusive to NMRGL under Ghanaian law.

NMRGL’s objective is to continue exploration work on the proposed consolidated prospecting license areas aimed at discovering economic gold deposit(s) and developing them into a full scale mining project. As such, a two-phase programme

33

has been planned for the proposed consolidated license. Phase 1 & 2 programmes will aim at target generation and target testing and evaluation respectively. Work under phase 1 will focus on Semi-regional soil and auger drilling and that of phase 2 is to undertake RC/DD programmes should phase 1 prove to be successful.

Since entering voluntary administration, NMRGL has maintained 2 active directors plus a project site office located on the outskirts of a village close to the CTP Licenses with 2 workers/employees.

It should be noted that the CTP Project was one of the key projects that the Company listed on in 2008, as per the Company’s prospectus dated 16 May 2008. NMRGL has retained (including by way of the proposed Rothschild advisory mandate) knowledge, relationships and intellectual property in relation to the CTP Project and other exploration opportunities in Ghana, as well as more broadly.

In addition to the continued exploration of the existing CTP Project (subject to its successful renewal of the aforementioned applications) the Board may identify, explore and develop new mineral deposits that may be identified in due course.

Whilst the Directors cannot guarantee the renewal of the CTP Licences, based on information provided to date as outlined above, it is optimistic that following completion of the recapitalisation and relisting of the Company on ASX, the CTP Licences will be renewed. In the interim, the Directors will consider acquiring and registering other tenements prospective for minerals in both Australia and Africa.

As outlined in Section 3.1, the Company has budgeted $240,000 in year 1 and $260,000 in year 2 for review and development of the existing projects.

As outlined in Section 3.1, the Company has also budgeted $185,000 in year 1 and $170,000 in year 2 for the review and evaluation of new projects. In this regard, the Board will actively consider the acquisition and development of other investments, both within the resources industry as well as in unrelated market segments, as identified by the Company and always subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

The Company has a qualified Board with extensive commercial and private equity experience. The Board is constantly reviewing acquisition opportunities, however there are no acquisition opportunities sufficiently advanced to warrant disclosure. Whilst not being prescriptive, the Board is seeking acquisitions that will accelerate the transformation of the Company into a high growth business.

It should be noted that should the Company pursue an acquisition opportunity, the Company may be required by ASX to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules at that time. This will depend on the transaction, which would also require Shareholder approval.

36

7. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to the Securities being offered under this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Securityholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Securities are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

7.1 Terms of Shares

General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by them, or in respect of which they are appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the Share.

Dividend rights

The Board may from time to time declare and pay or credit a dividend in accordance with the Corporations Act. Subject to any special right as to dividends attaching to a Share, all dividends will be declared and paid according to the proportion which the amount paid on the Share is to the total amount payable in respect of the Shares (but any amount paid during the period in respect of which a dividend is declared only entitles the Shareholder to an apportioned amount of that dividend as from the date of payment). The Directors may from time to time pay or credit to Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. No dividends shall be payable except out of profits. A determination by the Board as to the profits of the Company shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

The Directors may, at their discretion, resolve in respect of any dividend which it is proposed to pay or to declare on any shares of the Company, that holders of such

37

shares may elect to forgo their right to the whole or part of the proposed dividend and to receive instead an issue of shares credited as fully paid to the extent and on the terms and conditions of the Constitution. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company such amounts as they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by ordinary resolution at a general meeting, authorise the Directors to implement a dividend reinstatement plan, which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time, to be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of ordinary fully paid shares which are participating shares in the dividend reinvestment plan.

Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he or she considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

Future increase in capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Board. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing Share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of at least three quarters of the

38

issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

7.2 Terms of the First Placement Options

  7. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the Optionholder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital

39

offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 6 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give the Optionholder the opportunity to exercise the Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  1. In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) of securities to Shareholders after the date of issue of the Options, the exercise price of the Options may be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

  2. In the event the Company proceeds with a bonus issue of securities to Shareholders after the date of issue of the Options, the number of securities over which an Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of securities which the Optionholder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  3. In the event the Options are exercised by the Optionholders, the Company intends to use the funds raised in accordance with the table in Section 3.1 of this Prospectus.

  8. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the 3 Year Options and the Management Optionholder will not be entitled to participate in new issue of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the 3 Year

41

Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 6 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give the Management Optionholder the opportunity to exercise the 3 Year Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  1. In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata basis (other than a bonus issue) of Securities to Shareholders after the date of issue of the 3 Year Options, the Exercise Price will be reduced in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the pro rata issue.

  2. In the event the Company proceeds with a bonus issue of Securities to Shareholders after the date of the 3 Year Options, the number of Securities over which a 3 Year Option is exercisable may be increased in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the bonus issue.

  3. The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of 3 Year Options as the absolute holder of that 3 Year Option and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that 3 Year Option on the part of any person other than the registered holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.

  4. If a Change of Control Event occurs all unvested 3 Year Options will automatically vest and be free of the condition set out in item 3 above and may be exercised at any time on or before the relevant Expiry Date and in any number.

  5. If a Management Optionholder's employment or engagement with the Company or a Related Body Corporate is terminated in circumstances where they are a bad leaver then any 3 Year Options not exercised by the Management Optionholder before the date of the termination will automatically lapse.

In this Section 7.3, a Change of Control Event means where:

  6. Subject to item 23 below, a 5 Year Option that has not vested will lapse upon the Management Optionholder ceasing to be an employee of or consultant of the Company unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines that the 5 Year Options should not lapse. Without limiting the Board’s discretion, the Board may make such a determination if the Management Optionholder dies, is totally and permanently incapacitated or made redundant.

  7. The Company will notify a Management Optionholder if the Board makes a determination in accordance with item 5 above in relation to any of that Management Optionholder’s 5 Year Options.

  8. Any 5 Year Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse at 5:00pm (AEST) on the Expiry Date.

  10. A Management Optionholder may exercise all or some of the 5 Year Options held by that Management Optionholder. If a Management Optionholder exercises only part of the 5 Year Options held by that Management Optionholder, multiples of 100,000 5 Year Options must be exercised on each occasion.

  11. If a Management Optionholder exercises fewer that all of the 5 Year Options held by that Management Optionholder, the Company will cancel the Management Optionholder’s holding statement and issue or cause to be issued a new holding statement for the balance of the 5 Year Options held by that Management Optionholder.

  9. All Shares allotted upon the exercise of the 5 Year Options will, upon issuance, rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

  10. The Company will not apply for quotation of the 5 Year Options on ASX.

  11. The Company will apply for quotation of all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the 5 Year Options on ASX within 10 Business Days after the date of allotment of those Shares.

  13. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the 5 Year Options and the Management Optionholder will not be entitled to participate in new issue of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the 5 Year Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 6 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give the Management Optionholder the opportunity to exercise the 5 Year Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  14. In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata basis (other than a bonus issue) of Securities to Shareholders after the date of issue of the 5 Year Options, the Exercise Price will be reduced in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the pro rata issue.

  15. In the event the Company proceeds with a bonus issue of Securities to Shareholders after the date of the 5 Year Options, the number of Securities over which a 5 Year Option is exercisable may be increased in the manner permitted by the ASX Listing Rules applying at the time of the bonus issue.

44

  1. The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of 5 Year Options as the absolute holder of that 5 Year Option and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that 5 Year Option on the part of any person other than the registered holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.

  3. If a Management Optionholder's employment or engagement with the Company or a Related Body Corporate is terminated in circumstances where they are a bad leaver then any 5 Year Options not exercised by the Management Optionholder before the date of the termination will automatically lapse.

  • The Board must not, without the consent of all the relevant Participants, amend these Rules in a way which materially prejudices or which reduces the rights of the Participant in respect of the incentive securities, other than an amendment primarily:

  • (a) for the purpose of complying, or enabling compliance, with or confirming to legislation applicable to the Company, an Associated Body Corporate or these Rules or a requirement, policy or practice of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ASX or other regulatory body governing or regulating the maintenance or operation of these Rules or like plans;

  • (b) to correct any manifest error or mistake;

  • The Board may suspend or terminate these Rules at any time, in which case, the Company shall not make any further grants of incentive securities under these Rules during the suspended or terminated period. However, during the period the Board shall otherwise continue to administer these Rules in accordance with these Rules in respect of all incentive securities which have already been granted until all incentive securities have been exercised or expired (as the case may be).

  • These Rules shall be in all respects administered under the directions of the Board or a committee of the Board. The Board or committee of the Board may appoint, for the proper administration and management of these Rules, such secretary or executives or staff or other persons as it considers desirable and may delegate to those persons such powers and authorities as may be necessary or desirable for the administration and management of these Rules.

46

  1. Each Participant shall be issued with a holding statement stating the number of any incentive securities held by that Participant:

  2. (a) on the date of issue of any incentive securities; and

  3. (b) within 5 Business Days of the exercise of any incentive securities (as the case may be).

8. INVESTMENT RISKS

8.1 General

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. The future profitability of the Company will be dependent on the successful commercial exploitation of its business and operations.

Whilst the Directors recommend the Offers, there are numerous risk factors involved. The following is a summary of some of the material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the Securities.

Factors which may affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and the price of its listed securities include, but are not limited to, the specific risk factors and the general risk factors set out below.

8.2 Specific risks

8.2.1 Financial reporting and AGM breaches

The Company has been under administration from 12 September 2013.

As a result of the administration, as at the date of this Prospectus:

  • (a) the Company belatedly, lodged financial accounts on 23 February 2016 for the previously outstanding periods:

  • (i) the financial year ending 30 June 2013;

  • (ii) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2013;

  • (iii) the financial year ending 30 June 2014;

  • (iv) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2014; and

  • (v) the financial year ending 30 June 2015,

  • (b) the Company has failed to hold its Annual General Meetings for 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The above breaches occurred prior to the appointment of the current Board of Directors. The Company cannot guarantee that ASIC will not take enforcement action against the Company in respect of the past breaches outlined above.

8.2.2 Renewal of CTP Licence

As set out in Section 5.3 of this Prospectus, the Company proposes to continue exploration of the existing CTP Project (subject to its successful renewal of the CTP Licence). Whilst the Company has received representations in support of the renewals from NMRGL Directors and the Ghanaian Mining Bodies, the Company cannot guarantee the renewal of the CTP Licence. In the event that the renewal of the CTP Licence is denied by the Ghanaian Mining Bodies prior to reinstatement to

49

the ASX, there is a risk that the Company may be unable to seek reinstatement to ASX.

8.2.3 Mineral exploration and development risk

As set out in Section 5.3 of this Prospectus, the Company proposes to continue exploration of the existing CTP Project (subject to its successful renewal of the CTP Licence). In the event that the renewal of the CTP Licence is granted, the Company will be able to continue its mineral exploration and development operations. Mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings, which can be affected by a range of factors outside of the Company’s control.

8.2.4 Control risk

The Securities to be placed to the Syndicate (which includes all of the Directors) pursuant to the Proposal will constitute up to approximately 74.2% of the Company’s fully diluted capital (assuming the Offers are fully subscribed). There will therefore be a concentration of ownership of the Company among members of the Syndicate (and their nominees). Some investors may consider that this increases the risk of participating in the Offers as external investors and existing shareholders not related to or associated with the Syndicate will only control approximately 25.8% of the Company.

This should not be taken as a representation that the members of the Syndicate and their nominees act in concert with one another; would be likely to exercise their voting rights as Shareholders in the same manner; or that the Syndicate members and their nominees as a whole are associated parties , post-completion of the Proposal.

8.2.5 Operational and technical risk

In the event that the Company successfully renews the CTP Licence, the Company intends to continue its mineral exploration and development operations. These future operations may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • (a) geological conditions;

  • (b) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather;

  • (c) alterations to programmes and budgets;

  • (d) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in surveying, drilling and production activities;

  • (e) mechanical failure of equipment;

  • (f) industrial action, dispute or disruptions; and

  • (g) shortages or unavailability of labour or appropriately skilled labour.

The Company’s performance and its ability to successfully conduct its business activities are not guaranteed. The Company’s operations may be affected by a range of factors outside of its control.

8.2.6 Commodity and currency price volatility

Commodity and currency prices inherently fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. Any significant or sustained fluctuations in the commodity and/or currency prices, could have a materially adverse effect on

50

the Company’s financial position and performance.

8.2.7 Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement only based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Often these estimates are appropriate when made but may change significantly when new information becomes available. There are risks associated with such estimates, including that resources mined may be of a different quality, tonnage or strip ratio from the estimates. Resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment.

8.2.8

Regulatory risk

The Company will need to obtain regulatory approvals and licences to undertake its proposed operations in Ghana (or in any other country that the Company may operate) and to maintain and renew tenure of its tenements through regulatory compliances. There is no guarantee that such approvals and licences will be granted, or such regulatory compliances accepted. In addition, various conditions may be imposed on proposed tenements and the grant of such regulatory approvals and licences that may impact on the tenure or the cost or the ability to mine the tenements. Furthermore, there can be no assurance against social and economic uncertainty and no assurance that the regulatory requirements will not change, which may impact the Company’s operations. These changes may include, but are not limited to, restrictions on foreign ownership of licences, taxation, royalties and land access.

8.2.9 Competition risk

The Company’s current and future potential competitors include companies with substantially greater resources to undertake mining and exploration activities.

There can be no guarantee that revenue growth will be stimulated or that the Company will operate profitably in the short term, or at all.

8.2.10 Sovereign risk

The CTP Project is based in Ghana. Accordingly, there is a sovereign risk associated with the exploitation of the CTP Licence. The operations of the Company may be affected by the outbreak of hostilities or an unstable political or economic environment within Ghana and neighbouring countries. In addition, there is an increasing culture of resource nationalism in Ghana. This may lead to increased costs and taxation, which could adversely affect any future operations.

8.2.11 New Board

The Company has recently appointed a new Board of Directors who has limited expertise in the mining and exploration industry in which the Company has historically operated in. However, collectively the new Board of Directors have a broad cross section of experience.

51

8.3 General risks

8.3.1 Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s development and future activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

8.3.2 Market conditions

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

8.3.3

Security investments

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Securities regardless of the Company’s performance.

8.3.4 Environment risk

The Company’s proposed mining activities are subject to Ghanaian laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. As with all exploration and mining projects, a variety of environmental impacts are expected, which themselves will carry their own sets of risks.

8.3.5 Future capital requirements

The Company’s ongoing activities will require substantial expenditure. There can be no guarantee that the funds raised through the Offers will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offers, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Securityholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.

The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

8.3.6

Legislative changes, government policy and approvals

Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. The Company's capacity to carry out its operations may be affected by changes in government policy, which are beyond the Company’s control.

52

8.3.7 Other investments and acquisitions

The Company may look to complete other investments and acquisitions in the future, the details of which are not known at the date of this Prospectus. Those acquisitions and investments will carry their own set of risks.

8.4 Investment speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

53

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

9.1 Material contract – Syndicate loan

The Syndicate has advanced a total of $505,000 to the Company as an unsecured, interest-free loan. The loan funds have been applied by the Company in satisfaction of the terms of the DOCA, in particular the requirement to pay $505,000 to the Deed Administrator for the purposes of satisfying creditors’ claims under the Creditors Trust Deed.

The loan may either be repaid by the Company in full or, at the Syndicate’s election, the Company may satisfy some or all of the repayment obligation by applying loan proceeds towards valid Applications received from the Syndicate members (and their nominees) for Securities pursuant to the Offers. To the extent not applied towards Applications for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus, the loan funds are repayable when the Company has adequate surplus funds.

9.2 Material contract – Rothschild advisory mandate

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, NMRGL has entered into an advisory mandate with Rothschild, under which Rothschild will provide NMRGL with assistance with any sale process over NMRGL or the Ghanaian Gold Concessions by way of guidance around and introductions to potentially interested parties (buyers/partners).

As consideration, Rothschild will be granted an option to acquire up to 30% equity interest in NMRGL on the following terms and conditions ( Rothschild Option ). The Rothschild Option will have no expiry period and will be exercisable at $1 at any time after the date of its issue.

The Company will incur expenses in maintaining, exploring and developing the Ghanaian Gold Concessions (which will include employment and administration costs in NMRGL). Rothschild will have the option to contribute to these costs incurred by the Company on a pari passu basis. If Rothschild elects to do so in full, the Rothschild Option over 30% of NMRGL’s equity will remain unchanged. If Rothschild elects not to do so, the Rothschild Option over NMRGL’s equity will be diluted (based on an agreed NMRGL value of $300,000). For example, if the Company incurs $300,000 in costs, Rothschild can elect to contribute to these costs and pay the Company back its portion (30% of NMRGL equals to $90,000 in costs) in order to maintain its 30% equity interest in the Rothschild Option. If Rothschild elects not to contribute to these costs, the equity interest in the Rothschild Option will be diluted to 15%.

If any unrelated party (to the Company) contributes funding to NMRGL, the equity interests of the existing security interest holders (being the Company and Rothschild) will be diluted on a pari passu basis, based on the value of NMRGL (on a 100% basis) implied by the terms of the new investment. The Company will seek Rothchild’s consent on any farm-in agreement should the proposed farm-in value be less than $300,000 (based on 100% equity interest of NRMGL).

The Company will provide Rothschild with a 30 day notification period on ay proposed issue or sale of shares in NMRGL, during which time Rothschild may exercise the Rothschild Option.

54

The mandate will have standard “tag along” and “drag along” rights, which will allow Rothschild to participate on an equivalent and pro-rata basis should the Company decide to sell its shares in NMRGL. The “tag along” will be triggered where the Company proposes to sell a controlling interest of 80% or more in NMRGL, and the “drag along” will have a minimum price of $300,000 for 100% of NMRGL, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

No sale or transfer of an interest in the Ghanaian Gold Concessions held by NMRGL can take place without Rothschild’s prior written approval, unless the proposed sale values 100% of the Ghanaian Gold Concessions at greater than $300,000.

9.3 Material contract – Bombora Group

The Company has entered into a consultancy agreement with the Bombora Group, under which the Bombora Group has agreed to provide corporate and transactional advisory services to the Company.

Bombora Group is an advisory services company that is owned by Directors of the Company, Messrs Mike Hill, Brett Chenoweth and Michael Everett.

In consideration of the provision of services under the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Bombora Group a base sum of $190,000 per annum plus GST. Of this amount, the Bombora Group has agreed to only receive $164,000 per annum plus GST, until the first acquisition that is material to the Company and represents an acquisition of greater than 50% of the fully diluted market capitalisation of the Company at the time of the acquisition, is made by the Company. When this acquisition is made, the Board will approve and direct the payment of the balance of the outstanding base sum to ensure that the Bombora Group receives 100% of the base sum (of $190,000 per annum plus GST) for the period from the commencement date until the date of the acquisition.

The agreement will commence on the day that Bombora Group supplies a member of staff to provide services to the Company.

Each of the parties may terminate the agreement by providing the other party with 3 months’ written notice. The Company may terminate the agreement immediately in instances of gross misconduct and other limited circumstances.

9.4 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities. The Shares that will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the official list of ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

In general terms “transaction specific prospectuses” are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the Securities. It is not necessary to include general

55

information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

Other than as set out below, and having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

The Company’s Shares have been suspended from trading on the ASX since 28 June 2013 and the Company entered voluntary administration on 12 September 2013.

As a result of the administration of the Company (which was entered into before the appointment of the current Board of Directors), as at the date of this Prospectus:

  • (a) the Company belatedly, lodged financial accounts on 23 February 2016 for the previously outstanding periods:

  • (i) the financial year ending 30 June 2013;

  • (ii) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2013;

  • (iii) the financial year ending 30 June 2014;

  • (iv) the 6 month period ending 31 December 2014; and

  • (v) the financial year ending 30 June 2015,

  • (b) the Company has failed to hold its Annual General Meetings for 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The Company cannot guarantee that ASIC will not take enforcement action against the Company in respect of the past breaches outlined above.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
