Important Information

This replacement Prospectus is dated 15 November 2017 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. It replaces the original prospectus lodged with ASIC on 9 November 2017. Neither ASIC or the ASX take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

This replacement Prospectus has been issued to further explain the possible impact on control should the largest shareholder take up its entitlements in full, changes arising from PAC Partners Pty Ltd being the Lead Manager rather than Underwriting this Offer and further details of the impact of the Offer on the financial position of the Company.

No New Shares or New Options (New Securities) will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus (other than the issue of shares arising from the exercise of Options). Shares and Options issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) to Eligible Shareholders and has been prepared in accordance with Section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In preparing this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and that certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisors to whom investors may consult.

The Company will apply to the ASX for Official Quotation of the New Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

Eligible Shareholders should read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The New Securities the subject of this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Directors of Andromeda Metals Limited (Company), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a non-renounceable pro rata 1-for-2 entitlement offer to acquire further shares (New Shares) in the Company at an issue price of $0.005 per New Share to raise approximately $1.425 million before costs (Offer). Participants in the Offer will also be issued with one free New Option for every New Share subscribed. The New Options are transferrable with the Company to make application to the ASX for official quotation of the New Shares and New Options.

The Offer will only be made to Eligible Shareholders registered at the Record Date and who have been sent the Application Form accompanying this Prospectus. To accept your Entitlement under the Offer, you will need to complete the Application Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and as outlined in this Prospectus.

The Offer is lead managed by PAC Partners Pty Ltd who has been mandated by the Company to procure firm subscriptions for any shortfall. PAC Partners has advised the Company that it has received firm commitments for the entire amount of the Offer.

It is noted that the auditor for the Company's financial report for the financial year ending 30 June 2017 disclaimed its opinion on the basis of material uncertainties that cast doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which was predicated on the raising of at least $400,000 by 31 October 2017 and a further $1,600,000 to meet an active exploration program and working capital requirements through to 30 September 2018.

I am pleased to report that with the recent placement announced on 27 October 2017 raising $516,452 (net of costs) and the proceeds from this Offer, the Company has addressed the uncertainties noted by the auditor.

The proceeds of the Offer (net of costs) will be principally directed to completing maiden drill testing of epithermal gold targets in the Drummond Basin, progressing the Mylo-Frontier Pilbara Gold Project if due diligence investigations currently underway encourage the Company to complete the acquisition of the project, identification of new projects, and meeting working capital commitments.

The Prospectus includes further details of the Offer and the effect of the Offer on the Company, and a statement of the risks associated with investing in the Company. This is an important document and should be read in its entirety. If you have any doubts or questions in relation to the Prospectus you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional advisor to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Offer.

The Offer presented under this Prospectus, together with the recent share placement announced on 27 October 2017, will in total raise $1.99 million before costs, securing the Company’s financial position and allowing a recommencement of a material exploration effort at a time of rejuvenation for Andromeda Metals.

On behalf of the Board, I encourage you to consider this investment opportunity and thank you for your ongoing support.

Figure 1: Project locations

1.6.1 DRUMMOND EPITHERMAL GOLD PROJECT

The Company holds four, wholly owned tenements in the Drummond Basin in Queensland which are prospective for epithermal gold deposits analogous to the plus 3-million ounce high grade Pajingo goldfield which also occurs in the Drummond Basin.

Programs of surface prospecting, rock chip sampling and soil geochemistry completed by Andromeda Metals on two of the project tenements have discovered the Bunyip, Roo Tail, Poppi’s and East Central Limey prospects. Each of the four targets are confirmed to be gold-bearing epithermal systems, none of which have previously been drilled. All approvals to test these targets are in place.

6

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

The two other project tenements each contain historical prospects reportedly of epithermal character. The areas are amenable to programs of low cost exploration similar to the work that delineated the drill targets such as Bunyip.

1.6.2 MYLO-FRONTIER PILBARA GOLD PROJECT

The Pilbara region has attracted significant attention following the discovery by Novo Resources (TSX.V:NVO) of gold mineralisation hosted in conglomerates occurring near the base of the Fortescue Group, a sequence of Archaean volcanic and sedimentary rocks that out crop over extensive areas in the Pilbara.

This style of mineralisation is reportedly potentially analogous to the conglomerate hosted gold deposits of the Witwatersrand which have produced in excess of 1 billion ounces of gold, and so represent highly attractive exploration targets.

Andromeda Metals has signed a binding term sheet that, subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations, would allow the Company to acquire 100% equity in a 756 km[2] Pilbara gold project comprising eleven Exploration Licence Applications (ELAs) pegged by Mylo Gold Pty Ltd and Frontier Exploration Pty Ltd, (together the “Mylo-Frontier Pilbara Gold Project”).

1.6.3 EYRE PENINSULA GOLD PROJECT (INCLUDING THE WUDINNA GOLD CAMP)

Andromeda Metals holds a significant 100% owned ground position on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. Included within the project tenements is the Wudinna Gold Camp, a cluster of gold prospects located about 20 km north of the town of Wudinna.

The Wudinna Gold Camp includes the Barns, Baggy Green and White Tank deposits where Mineral Resources (calculated within JORC 2012 guidelines) have been estimated. The consolidated Wudinna Gold Camp Mineral Resource, including the Baggy Green, White Tank and Barns gold deposits, totals 3.84 million tonnes at 1.62g/t gold for 200,300 ounces using a 0.5g/t gold cut-off grade, comprised of 0.38 million tonnes at 1.40g/t gold for 17,000 ounces of Indicated Resource and 3.469 million tonnes at 1.64g/t gold for 183,300 ounces of Inferred Resources.

Each of the Barns, Baggy Green and White Tank Resources remain open and, together with other gold prospects in the Wudinna Gold Camp, present excellent opportunities to further expand the local gold resource inventory.

Metallurgical testing has been conducted on composited samples representing both primary and oxide/supergene mineralised material from the Barns and Baggy Green deposits.

At Barns gravity and cyanide leaching of the gravity concentrate and tailings recovered 98.8% of the gold in a supergene sample, and an average of 97.5% of the gold in

primary samples. At Baggy Green recovery in a supergene sample was 94.3%, while recoveries for primary samples averaged 98.7%. These outstanding gold recoveries were achieved with modest reagent additions. Gravity and cyanide leaching therefore presents a viable conventional flowsheet for the Wudinna Gold Camp.

The Company recently announced it had entered into the Wudinna Gold Farm-In and Joint Venture with a private minerals exploration group that will see that group fund up to $5 million through a staged earn-in over a maximum six year period to earn up to 75% equity. The deal can significantly progress the Wudinna Gold Camp Mineral Resources towards a decision to mine, potentially generating value for Shareholders.

1.6.4 ROVER COPPER GOLD PROJECT

The Tennant Creek district of the Northern Territory has produced over 5.5 million ounces of gold and over 480,000 tonnes of copper. The Rover Field is located south west of Tennant Creek and also hosts Tennant Creek style mineral deposits.

The Company’s highly prospective Rover Project captures the majority of the Rover Field and includes the wholly owned Rover 4 copper-gold deposit and part of the Rover 1 coppergold-cobalt deposit. Until recently the Rover Project was subject to the Rover Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Emmerson Resources Limited, however on 4 October 2017 Emmerson withdrew prematurely from the agreement having earned no equity.

The Company’s strategy at Rover remains to progress the project with third party funding, with a listed exploration company currently reviewing the project data.

1.6.5 MOONTA COPPER GOLD PROJECT

The Moonta Copper Gold Project falls near the southern end of the world class Olympic Copper-Gold Province in South Australia, a belt that contains approximately 75% of Australia’s known copper resources. Andromeda Metals’ tenement secures the famous “Copper Triangle” mining district on the Yorke Peninsula.

The Company’s exploration at Moonta has discovered a number of shallow copper-dominant deposits including Alford West, Willamulka, Paskeville and Wombat, while other significant prospects are also known from historical records.

Additional to conventional mining opportunities, the Company has identified two prospects where preliminary studies suggest potential exists to produce copper using insitu recovery (ISR) methods. A substantial Exploration Target has been estimated that can underpin this opportunity.

Andromeda Metals is seeking to fund further work at Moonta through third party involvement, with one group reviewing the project under confidentiality agreement, and expressions of interest to review the project received from others.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

1.6.6 USE OF FUNDS

The proceeds received from the Offer will be principally directed to funding the following:

  • Completing further exploration on the Company’s wholly owned Drummond Epithermal Gold Project in Queensland, including the first ever drill testing of identified gold prospects, which includes the large gold-bearing epithermal vein system at the Bunyip prospect;

  • Subject to a decision to acquire the Mylo-Frontier Pilbara Gold Project following due diligence investigations that are now underway, progressing the tenements to grant and completion of initial exploration programs of prospecting and surface geochemistry;

  • An initiative to identify, evaluate and acquire new projects to complement the Company’s existing portfolio of exploration assets; and

  • Meeting on-going fixed exploration and working capital costs and the costs associated with the Offer.

A more detailed breakdown of the application of funds is set out in section 2.2.

The Directors consider that the uncertainties noted by the auditor leading to the disclaimer of their opinion of the financial report for the year ending 30 June 2017, have been addressed by the proceeds from this Offer together with the recent placement announced on 27 October 2017 raising $516,452 (net of costs).

1.7 Risk Factors

Investing in the Company involves risk. There are factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company. Some of these factors can be mitigated by appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of the Company, are dependent on the policies adopted and approaches taken by regulatory authorities, or cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you are unsure about subscribing for New Securities, you should first seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant, financial or other professional advisor.

Risk Details
Exploration and Tenements in which the Company has an interest are at various stages of exploration. There can be no assurance
production that exploration of the project areas will result in the discovery of an economic reserve.
Access to land
Environmental
Native Title and
Aboriginal Heritage
Mineral resource and
reserve estimates
Metal prices
Competition
Future capital
requirements
The Company will experience delays and cost overruns in the event it is unable to access the land required for
its operations. This may be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder’s
activities or other factors.
Mining and exploration activities are strictly regulated by environmental legislation and government authorities.
There is a risk that environmental regulation may prevent or impede the Company’s activities.
Native Title claims and Aboriginal heritage issues may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s activities
and may hinder or prevent its exploration and future mining activities or increase the cost of those activities.
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice.
Resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to
be inaccurate.
International factors including inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand impact on metal prices. If the price
of metals seriously declines in the future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with
its projects.
Other companies may have competitive advantages such as superior resources, new technology, new production
processes, or access to key infrastructure. The Company may be unable to successfully compete against such
other companies.
The available funds of the Company may not be sufficient to cover expenditure that may be required to execute
its planned operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing when
required in the future.
Regulatory and Any changes in the laws and regulations under which the Company operates may adversely impact the Company.

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

The New Securities offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on the ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to its future performance.

Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

Further details regarding risks which may affect the Company in the future are contained in section 5.

1.8 Directors Intentions in respect of Entitlements

2 excludes shares held on behalf of the Director by the trustee of the ADN Loan Funded Employee Share Plan

All Directors who are Eligible Shareholders intend to subscribe for their full entitlements under the Offer.

1.9 Shortfall and Dilution of Shareholder’s Interests

The Offer is not underwritten.

Shareholders should be aware that to the extent that they do not accept their Entitlements in full, a Shortfall will arise and the Shortfall will be placed with sophisticated investors who are clients of PAC Partners, in which case their interest in the Company will be significantly diluted. Further the Offer is not being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand and the holdings of those Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by the Offer. Given the terms of the Offer, the interests of a Shareholder in the Company may be diluted by up to 58% in the event that they are not eligible to participate or elect not to accept their Entitlement in full.

Acceptance of Entitlements or the placement of any Shortfall may also result in existing Shareholders or new investors significantly increasing their interest in the Company or obtaining a substantial interest in the Company. However, the Shortfall will only be placed to the extent that such placement is in compliance with the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, which restrict a person and their associates from having a relevant interest in the Company of not more than 20%, subject to a number of exemptions.

1.10 Potential Control Implications

Set out below is a summary of how the voting rights of the Company's largest shareholder might be impacted if it took up its Entitlement in full and assuming different rates of take up by other shareholders.

2.4 Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription in respect of the Offer.

2.5 No Trading of Entitlements

Entitlements to Shares pursuant to the Offer are nonrenounceable and accordingly Eligible Shareholders may not dispose of or trade any part of their Entitlement.

2.6 Opening and Closing Dates

The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances at 9.00am ACDT on Friday 17 November 2017 and will close at 5.00pm ACDT on Thursday 30 November 2017, or such later date as the Directors, in their absolute discretion and subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, may determine and provided that the Company gives ASX notice of the change at least 3 Business Days prior to Closing Date.

2.7 Entitlements and Acceptance

Eligible Shareholders may accept their Entitlement either in whole or in part of their Entitlement. The number of New Securities to which you are entitled (Entitlement) is shown in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

In determining Entitlements, any fractional entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

You may participate in the Entitlement Offer as follows:

a) Take up your Entitlement in full

  • If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to take up all of your Entitlement, please:

  • forward the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your cheque or bank draft for the amount shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form in the reply paid envelope to reach the Company’s Share Registry, so that it is received by no later than 5.00pm ACDT on the Closing Date or such later date as the Directors determine.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

c) Payment

Cheques and bank drafts, in Australian currency, should be made payable to “ Andromeda Metals Limited ” and crossed “not negotiable”. You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Acceptance Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Acceptance Monies is insufficient to pay in full for the number of whole New Securities for which you have applied in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Securities which equates to your cleared Acceptance Monies (and to have that number of New Securities on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your Application will be rejected. If your cheque does not clear due to insufficient funds in your account, your Application will be rejected.

Payment will only be accepted in Australian currency and cheques, bank drafts, money orders and BPAY payments must be drawn on an Australian bank.

d) BPAY

If you intend to pay for the New Securities by BPAY, there is no need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form (but you must ensure that your payment is received by no later than 5.00pm ACDT on the Closing Date or such latter date as the Directors determine). If you elect to make payment using BPAY, you must contact your bank, credit union or building society to make payment of the Acceptance Monies from your cheque or savings account. Refer to the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the Biller Code and Customer Reference Number. Eligible Shareholders who have multiple holdings will have multiple Customer Reference Numbers.

e) Do nothing

You may do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse. However, if you are an Eligible Shareholder and you do nothing, then New Securities representing your Entitlement will be allocated to other third parties procured by the Lead Manager.

f) General

If you have any queries concerning your Entitlement, please contact the Company on 08 8271 0600 (within Australia) or +61 8 8271 0600 (outside Australia) or contact your stockbroker or professional advisor.

Entitlement and Acceptance Forms accompanying cheques or bank draft may be lodged at any time before the Closing Date. Applications received after the Closing Date may not be accepted. Eligible Shareholders who intend to forward their Form by post should be aware of the lengthened delivery time for mail sent with Australia Post. The Company will not be responsible for postal or delivery delays.

The Offer Price of $0.005 for each New Share is payable in full on acceptance of part or all of your Entitlement. No consideration is payable for the free attaching New Option.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and accompanying cheques should be forwarded to the following address:

Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd GPO Box 2987 Adelaide, SA 5001

The amount payable on acceptance will not vary during the period of the Offer and no further amount is payable on allotment. Application Monies will be held in trust in a subscription account until allotment of the New Securities. The subscription account will be established and kept by the Company on behalf of the Applicants. Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether allotment takes place. No stamp duty, brokerage or handling fees are payable by the Applicant for the New Securities offered by this Prospectus.

Eligible Shareholders should obtain independent advice on the taxation implications arising out of their participation in the Offer.

You should also note that, if you do not take up your Entitlement, then although you will continue to own the same number of Shares, your percentage shareholding in the Company will decrease.

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

2.8 Shortfall

PAC Partners Pty Ltd has been appointed as lead manager to the Offer and will procure subscriptions for any shortfall on a "best endevours" basis.

Any Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Shareholders will become available as Shortfall and will be placed by the Lead Manager to professional and sophisticated investors.

The Lead Manager has advised the Company that it has received firm commitments for the entire amount of the Offer.

The Lead Manager is a Corporate Authorised Representative of PAC Asset Management Pty Ltd holder of AFSL No. 335 374.

2.9 Allotment of Shares and Options

The New Securities and Additional Shares and Options are expected to be allotted by no later than 7 December 2017. Until the issue and allotment of the New Securities under this Prospectus has occurred, the Application Monies will be held in trust in a separate bank account opened and maintained for that purpose only. Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by it irrespective of whether allotment of the New Securities takes place.

2.10 Application for Official Quotation

On the same date as announcing the Offer, the Company applied to the ASX for the New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus to be listed for Official Quotation by the ASX. If granted, quotation of the New Securities will commence as soon as practicable after the allotment of the New Securities to Applicants.

2.11 Overseas Shareholders

The Company has not made investigations as to the regulatory requirements that may prevail in the countries outside of Australia and New Zealand in which the Company’s Shareholders reside.

The distribution of this Prospectus in places outside of Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe those restrictions. Any failure to comply with those restrictions may violate applicable securities laws.

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under this Prospectus to Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand having regard to the number of Shareholders in those places, the number and value of the New Securities they would be offered and the legal and regulatory requirements in those places and costs of complying with those requirements. Based on the Share Register of the Company as at 31 October 2017, the number of New Securities that Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand would be entitled to subscribe for if they were Eligible Shareholders would be approximately 337,941 New Securities (representing less than 0.12% of the Offer).

Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended to, and does not qualify for distribution or sale, and no New Securities will be issued, to Shareholders having a registered address outside Australia and New Zealand (Excluded Shareholders).

The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance of the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand).

All rights that would have been offered to Excluded Shareholders will be allowed to lapse and will form part of the Shortfall.

If the ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), the Company will not allot any New Securities and will repay all Application Monies for the New Securities within the time period prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

A decision by the ASX to grant Official Quotation of the New Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of ASX’s view as to the merits of the Company, or of the New Securities now offered for subscription.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

3. Effect of the Offer on the Company

3.1 Effect on Financial Position

It is noted that the auditor for the Company's financial report for the financial year ending 30 June 2017 disclaimed its opinion on that financial report. The basis for the disclaimer of opinion was the existence of material uncertainties that cast doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether it would realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These uncertainties included that the Directors' going concern opinion was predicated on the raising of at least $400,000 by 31 October 2017 and a further $1,600,000 to meet an active exploration program and working capital requirements through to 30 September 2018.

With the recent placement announced on 27 October 2017 raising $516,452 (net of costs) and the proceeds from this Offer, the Directors consider that the uncertainties noted by the auditor have been addressed.

To illustrate the effect of the issue on the Company, a pro-forma statement of financial position has been prepared based on the audited statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017.

The pro-forma statement of financial position shows the effect of both the share placement undertaken by the Company on 27 October 2017 and the Offer under this Prospectus as if both had been made on 30 June 2017 and assumes that the Offer is fully subscribed.

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the pro-forma statement of financial position are consistent with the policies adopted and as described in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. The significant effects of the Offer will be:

  • to increase cash reserves by approximately $1.285 million (after cash expenses of the Offer which are estimated to be $140,000) assuming a $0.005 per share subscription price;

  • to increase the number of issued ordinary shares by 285,097,428 to 862,027,657 shares on issue (assuming the issue of Director Shares following approval by Shareholders of Resolutions 14 and 15 at the 2017 AGM on 30 November 2017);

  • the issue of 285,097,428 options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company at $0.012 per share on or before 30 November 2020.

The pro-forma statement of financial position has not been subject to an audit or review.

At a general meeting of the Company on a show of hands, every member present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote and upon a poll, every member present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Andromeda Metals Share held by them.

4.1.2 DIVIDENDS

The New Shares will rank equally with all other issued Shares in the capital of the Company and will participate in dividends out of profits earned by the Company from time to time. Subject to the rights of holders of Shares with any special preferential or qualified rights attaching to them, the profits of the Company are divisible amongst the holders of Shares paid in proportion to the total Andromeda Metals Shares on issue. The Directors may from time to time pay to Shareholders such interim dividends as in their judgement the position of the Company justifies.

4.1.3 TRANSFER OF THE SHARES

Other than for a transfer regulated by ASX Settlement, a transfer of Shares may be affected by an instrument of transfer approved under the Corporations Act or by an instrument of transfer in any usual form or by another form approved by the Directors or recognised by the ASX Listing Rules.

4.1.4 REFUSAL TO REGISTER

The Board may refuse to register any transfer of Shares which would result in contravention or failure to observe any State, Territory or Commonwealth law.

The Board may refuse to register any transfer of Shares upon which the Company has a lien.

The Directors are required to refuse to register a transfer of Restricted Securities or where the Listing Rules otherwise so require.

Otherwise, except as provided in the Constitution, the Directors shall not refuse to register or give effect to any transfer in registrable form.

4.1.7 VARIATION OF RIGHTS

At present, the Company has only ordinary Shares on issue. If the shares of another class are issued, the rights and privileges attaching to ordinary Shares could only be altered with the approval of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of ordinary Shares by a three quarter majority of such holders or the written consent of the holders of at least three quarters of the ordinary Shares.

4.1.8 SALE OF NON-MARKETABLE HOLDINGS

The Company may take steps in respect of non-marketable holdings of Andromeda Metals Shares to effect an orderly sale of those Shares in the event that holders do not take steps to retain their holdings in accordance with the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules.

4.1.9 GENERAL MEETING

4.2.1 CONSIDERATION

16

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

4.2.2 TERMS OF EXERCISE OF NEW OPTIONS

The exercise price of each New Option is $0.012 ( New Option Exercise Price ).

The New Options will expire on 30 November 2020 ( New Option Expiry Date ).

The New Options may be exercised at any time wholly or in part by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise together with a cheque for the Exercise Price per New Option to the Company at any time on or after the date of issue and allotment of the New Options, and on or before the Expiry Date.

On the valid exercise of the New Options and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company will issue Shares ranking pari passu with the then issued Shares.

4.2.3 TRANSFERABILITY

The New Options are transferable.

4.2.4 RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE

Holders of New Options do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the Listing Rules, provide holders of New Options with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the New Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

Holders of New Options do not participate in any dividends unless the New Options have been exercised and the resultant Shares are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend.

4.2.5 RECONSTRUCTIONS

In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:

  • the number of New Options, the Exercise Price, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules as applicable at the time of reconstruction, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of New Options which are not conferred on shareholders; and

4.2.6 BONUS ISSUES

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares in the Company, the number of Shares over which the New Options is exercisable may be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Options would have received if the New Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

The terms of the New Options may only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of Shares in the Company approve of such a change. However, the terms of the New Options must not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of New Options or change any period for exercise of the New Options.

4.2.7 PRO RATA ISSUES

If the Company makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of the New Options will be reduced according to the following formula:

A = O - E x [P - (S + D)]

(N + 1)

Where:

  • A = the new exercise price of the New Option;

  • O = the old exercise price of the New Option;

  • E = the number of underlying securities into which one New Option is exercisable;

  • P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date;

  • S = the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue;

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue);

  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.

4.3 Quotation

The Company will make an application to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares and the New Options.

  • subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of Shareholders approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the New Options will remain unchanged.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

5. Risk Factors

5.1 Introduction

An overview of the key risks that may have a material adverse impact upon the future performance of the Company and the value of the Shares are described in this Prospectus and include those risks set out in this Section. The Company gives no assurances or guarantees of future performance or profitability, or payment of dividends.

The list of risk factors in this section should not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in Andromeda Metals. There may be other material risks which are not disclosed in this document because they were not known by the Company or were not considered to be material at the date of this Prospectus.

Some of the risks may be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls. However, many risks that may affect the Company are outside the control of the Andromeda Metals and its subsidiaries.

This section does not take into account the investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs of individual Shareholders. It is important that Shareholders carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety (particularly the risks set out in this section, consider their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek independent professional advice before deciding whether to subscribe for New Shares and the attaching free New Options.

Set out below are some of the key risks that have been identified as potentially affecting the performance and value of the Shares and the ability of the Company to potentially pay dividends in the future. The past performance of the Company is not necessarily representative of the future performance of Andromeda Metals or the value of the Company’s Shares.

5.2 Risks specific to Andromeda Metals

5.2.1 EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

Tenements in which the Company has an interest are at various stages of exploration and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the project areas described in this Prospectus, or any other permits that the Company may acquire an interest in, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral reserve. Even if an apparently viable reserve is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be commercially exploited.

Even if the Company recovers potentially commercial minerals, there is no guarantee that Andromeda Metals will be able to successfully transport the minerals to commercially viable markets or sell the minerals to customers to achieve a commercial return.

In addition, with respect to operations, the Company operates in some remote locations within Australia and challenging geographical conditions. Therefore some exploration and development costs may be higher in such jurisdictions due to a number of factors including limitations on the number of available suppliers of services required by Andromeda Metals, climatic and geographical conditions. The Company has an internal review process for all exploration and drilling programs. Andromeda Metals also has a transparent review and auditing process for all tenders received. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in mitigating all of these risks and there is a risk that exploration costs may escalate beyond budget anticipations.

5.2.2 ACCESS TO LAND

The Company will experience delays and cost overruns in the event it is unable to access the land required for its operations. This may be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder’s activities or other factors.

The Company’s exploration activities are also dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance or renewal of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of tenements often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals. There is no assurance that the Company will be granted all the mining tenements for which it has applied or that licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

5.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL

Mining and exploration activities are strictly regulated by environmental legislation and government authorities. There is a risk that environmental regulation may prevent or impede the Company’s activities. It is possible that environmental approvals for Andromeda Metals’ projects are not granted or are delayed. If this occurred it may materially affect the Company’s ability to explore and develop its projects and therefore its investment outlook.

Significant liability could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs, or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of property acquired by Andromeda Metals, or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company proposes to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and where possible, by carrying appropriate insurance coverage. There is also a risk that the environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company’s operations more expensive.

18

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

5.2.4 NATIVE TITLE AND ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

Andromeda Metals’ mineral tenements and other

entitlements to property and minerals may be affected by native title claims, unregistered agreements, transfers or unknown defects in title. Native title claims and Aboriginal heritage issues may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s activities and may hinder or prevent its exploration and future mining activities or increase the cost of those activities.

5.2.5 MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

Andromeda Metals currently has a Resource (calculated under JORC 2012 guidelines) relating to the Wudinna Gold Camp within the Company’s 100% owned Eyre Peninsula Gold Project. It should be recognised that any published resource is an estimate only and is based upon expressions of judgment relating to knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

5.2.6 METAL PRICES

International factors such as inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand and political and economic events, amongst other things, impact on metal prices, particularly in the current global economic market. As the Company is currently not in production, future revenue that may come from the sale of any mineral products and the Company’s future profits are related to and influenced by the market price of the commodity.

If the price of metals seriously declines in the future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with its projects and the Company may be forced to discontinue some or all of its operations.

The Company gives no assurance that the fluctuations in the commodity prices will not affect timing and viability of the projects.

5.2.7 COMPETITION

Upon commencement of production, the Company would be subject to competition from other mineral producers. Competitors include current miners and future entrants into the market. Other companies may have competitive advantages such as superior resources, new technology, new production processes, or access to key infrastructure. The Company may be unable to successfully compete and may suffer material adverse consequences such as loss of market share and customers.

5.2.8 FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The available funds of the Company may not be sufficient to cover expenditure that may be required to execute the projects or planned operations of the Company or to expand its operations or projects or for other capital expenditure, further exploration or feasibility studies or otherwise in the Company’s operations. The Company may need to raise additional equity or debt funds in the future to finance these activities and requirements.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing when required in the future, or that the terms and time frames associated with such funding will be acceptable to Andromeda Metals, particularly having regard to the current uncertain economic environment and the effect that metal prices may have on future production and earnings performance. This may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic goals and have a negative effect on its financial results.

5.3 General Risks

5.3.1 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances (as defined in AASB 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”) suggest that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation assets (or the cash-generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated, being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. Where a decision is made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment, reclassified to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced.

5.3.2 COUNTERPARTY RISK

There is a risk, which is higher in the current uncertain economic environment, that contracts and other arrangements which the Company is party to and obtains a benefit from, will not be performed by the relevant counterparties if those counterparties become insolvent or are otherwise unable to perform their obligations. The Company and its projects may suffer material adverse consequences such as increased costs, delayed projects, loss of market share, or loss of customers.

PROSPECTUS NOVEMBER 2017

5.3.3 INSURANCE

Andromeda Metals has various insurances covering its business. However, certain risks are not covered by insurance due to limitations or exclusions in insurance policies or because the Company has decided not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or for other reasons. Mining accidents, cave-ins, business interruption, compensation claims, environmental effects, fires, floods earthquakes and various other events may not be adequately covered by insurance. Uninsured events or limited insurance coverage could significantly increase the costs of the Company if such uninsured events were to occur.

5.3.4 LITIGATION

The Company may be subject to litigation and other claims. This could result in negative publicity and/or additional expenditure.

5.3.5 KEY PERSONNEL

Andromeda Metals’ success depends to a significant extent upon its key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel including subcontractors. Although the Company enters into employment and incentive arrangements with its personnel to secure their services, it cannot guarantee the retention of their services.

There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these people cease their engagement. The Company’s inability to recruit additional appropriately skilled and qualified personnel to replace these key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. There can be no guarantee that personnel with the appropriate skills will be available within the Company’s required timeframes.

5.3.6 HEALTH AND SAFETY

The businesses of the Company are subject to strict health and safety laws and regulations. The Company may become liable for past and current conduct which violates such laws and regulations. Penalties for breaching health and safety laws can be significant and include criminal penalties.

Victims of workplace accidents may also commence civil proceedings against the Company. These events might not be insured by the Company or may be uninsurable. In addition, any changes in health and safety laws and regulations may increase compliance costs for the Company. Such an event would negatively impact the financial results of the Company.

5.3.7 REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE

Any changes in the laws and regulations under which the Company operates may adversely impact the Company’s activities, planned projects and financial results. These laws and regulations include mining and exploration-related laws, laws requiring permits and licences, environmental regulations and health and safety laws and regulations. In Andromeda’s experience changes in legislation have generally produced more regulatory requirements resulting in increased compliance costs for the Company.

5.3.8 PAST TRANSACTIONS

Previous transactions undertaken by the Company which involved the acquisition or disposal of assets may continue to bear risks associated with the possibility of warranty or other claims in connection with such transactions to which it was a party.

5.4 Risks associated with the Offer

5.4.1 DILUTION

The Offer will result in the issue of New Shares with attaching free New Options. If you do not participate in the Offer or you do not take up your full Entitlement, your percentage holding in the Company (held at the Record Date) may be reduced, by both the take up of New Shares by other Shareholders and investors, and upon the exercise of the attached free New Options. The extent of dilution will depend upon the extent to which the Offer is taken up and the New Options exercised, resulting in an increase in the Company’s issued share capital.

5.4.2 SHARE PRICE

Post this Offer, there is no certainty that the Company will achieve an improvement of its share price. Due to the occurrence of adverse changes in the business or unforeseen circumstances, or general market conditions, the Company’s Shares may depreciate in value and Shareholder wealth may decline.

5.5 Speculative nature of investment

Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

Whether or not future income will result from projects undergoing exploration, programs are dependent on the successful results of that exploration and on the subsequent establishment of development and production operations or sale of the projects. Factors including costs, equipment availability, and mineral prices affect successful project development as does the design and construction of efficient exploration facilities, competent operation and management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced consultants. In particular, changes in global economic conditions (including changes in interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates and labour costs) as well as general trends in the Australian and overseas equity markets may affect the Company’s operations and particularly the trading price of the Shares on the ASX.

ANDROMEDA METALS LIMITED

6. Additional Information

6.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a ‘disclosing entity’ (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and is subject to the regime of continuous disclosure and periodic reporting requirements. Specifically as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.

The Board of Directors have adopted a policy of compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have a material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non-compliance.

6.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus

As a disclosing entity, the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure (ED) securities and the Securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a ‘transaction specific prospectus’. In general terms, a transaction specific prospectus is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to the ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether to invest or not invest.

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 ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information about all listed companies. The Company’s file is available for inspection at the ASX and copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, any regional office of ASIC.

6.3 Information available to Shareholders

The Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any investor who so requests during the application period under this Prospectus:

  • the annual audited financial report for the Company for the year ending 30 June 2017 and lodged with the ASX on 29 September 2017;

  • any other financial statements or continuous disclosure notices given by the Company to the ASX in the period starting immediately after lodgement of the annual financial report of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2017 and ending on the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.

Copies of ASX announcements made by the Company may be obtained on the ASX website or the Company’s website at www.andromet.com.au

The highest and lowest recorded market sale prices of the Company’s Shares quoted on the ASX during the period of 3 months to the date of the announcement of the Offer were $0.017 and $0.005 respectively.

The closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 3 November 2017 was $0.01. The issue price of $0.005 represents a 50% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price up to 3 November 2017.

The Company currently has on issue 23,612,610 Listed Options having an exercise price of $0.012 and expiry date of 31 March 2018. In addition, there is on issue 56,328 Unlisted Options having an exercise price of $0.015 and expiry date of 31 March 2019.

6.4 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

6.5 Taxation

It is the responsibility of all persons to satisfy themselves of the particular taxation treatment that applies to them by consulting their own professional tax advisors before investing in the New Shares and attaching free New Options.

Taxation consequences will depend on an individual’s particular circumstances. Neither the Company nor any of its officers accept any liability or responsibility in respect of the taxation consequences connected with an investment in the New Shares and attaching free New Options referred to in this Prospectus.
