LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Directors of Golden Rim Resources Ltd ( Company ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a non-renounceable pro rata 2-for-5 entitlement offer at an issue price of $0.003 per Share to raise approximately $2.5 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ). Participants in the Entitlement Offer will also be issued with one free Attaching Option for every two New Shares subscribed for. The Attaching Options are intended to be quoted and exercisable at $0.005 each on or before 31 January 2019, on terms set out in this Prospectus.

The Entitlement Offer will only be made to Eligible Shareholders registered at the Record Date who will be sent an Entitlement and Acceptance Form which will be accompanied by this Prospectus. To accept your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, you will need to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and as outlined in this Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders may also wish to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate in the Top-Up Facility (refer to Section 1.2). Any shortfall will also be open to new shareholders under the Shortfall Offer (refer to Section 1.3).

The funds raised under the Entitlement Offer are intended to be used for:

  • Infill drilling, both reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling and diamond drilling, at the Kouri Gold Project ( Kouri ) in Burkina Faso (drilling is planned to be deeper than the previous drilling that largely terminated at 70m below surface and will cover a 650m gap in the drilling on the Guitorga Lodes) (Figure 1);

  • Initial metallurgical test work at Kouri;

  • JORC Mineral Resource estimation at Kouri by an independent consultant;

  • Maintaining and exploring commercial opportunities with respect to Paguanta ZincSilver-Lead Project ( Paguanta ) in Chile; and

  • General working capital.

On 2 August 2017, the Company announced it had secured Acorn Capital as a cornerstone investor and announced a shift in its focus to Kouri in Burkina Faso (West Africa), of which it owns 100%. Kouri is now the Company’s flagship project.

The recent reverse circulation drilling at Kouri returned very encouraging results (see ASX announcement dated 6 July 2017). Kouri has an existing Exploration Target of approximately 7,954,000 – 9,722,000 tonnes, grading from approximately 1.8 g/t to 2.2 g/t gold for approximately 500,000 - 611,000 ounces of gold (to ~70m depth). (Cautionary Statement: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of Mineral Resources).

With additional infill and deeper drilling the Company is targeting conversion of the Exploration Target to a maiden Mineral Resource by end of 2017. Further details regarding the Exploration Target are set out in Annexure A to this Chairman's Letter.

The Company’s other advanced project, Paguanta, is also expected to generate substantial value. The Company has executed an exclusive mandate with leading Canadian broking firm, Eight Capital, to secure a corporate transaction for Paguanta. The Company is open to considering various forms of transaction including an investment in Golden Rim directly, project farm-in, full or partial sale.

The Company’s various plans make for a busy time and we look forward to updating the market with news as it comes to hand.

iv

All Directors who hold shares in the Company intend to take up either full or a majority of their rights under the Entitlement Offer.

The Prospectus includes further details of the Offers and the effect of the Offers 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 Offers.

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

Yours faithfully

Annexure A – Chairman's Letter

The initial Exploration Target for Kouri, detailed in Table 1 and first released by the Company on 16 July 2015, is estimated in a range of approximately 7,954,000 to 9,722,000 tonnes, grading from approximately 1.8 g/t to 2.2 g/t gold for approximately 500,000 - 611,000 ounces of gold (to ~70m depth). The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Table 1. Kouri Exploration Target Estimation

Exploration
Target Area
Tonnage Range Tonnage Range Gold Grade Range
(g/t)
Gold Grade Range
(g/t)
90% 110% 90% 110%
Guitorga North 2,924,000 3,573,000 1.9 2.4
Guitorga South 3,643,000 4,452,000 1.4 1.7
MCA/MCB Pits 719,000 879,000 1.8 2.2
Diabouga 669,000 818,000 3.0 3.7
TOTAL 7,954,000 9,722,000 1.8 2.2

Notes:

  • 1) The Exploration Target was estimated using the following parameters: 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade; maximum of 100m strike extent from drill holes (where the continuity of the mineralisation is supported by mapping, the location of artisanal workings or anomalous auger results); maximum of 70m vertical extent below surface for the Guitorga North, Guitorga South and Diabouga areas; maximum of 120m vertical extent below surface for the MCA/MCB Pits area; minimum downhole intercept width of 2m; and SG of 2.5.

  • 2) A total of 94 RC drill holes were used to prepare the Exploration Target. The holes are generally drilled on lines spaced from 40m – 100m apart, with a spacing along the lines ranging from 40m – 50m. Hole locations are depicted on Figure 1.

Further drilling (both diamond and RC), specific gravity measurements, metallurgical testing and resource modelling are planned over the next exploration programs, to determine the validity of the Exploration Target and to potentially provide a maiden Mineral Resource for Kouri.

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this report that relates to exploration results and Exploration Targets is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr Craig Mackay, a Competent Person who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Mackay is a full-time employee (Managing Director) and shareholder of Golden Rim Resources Ltd. Mr Mackay has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Mackay consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Section is intended to highlight key information for potential investors. It is an overview only, and is not intended to replace the Prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus in full before deciding to invest in Securities.

Key Information Further
Information
Transaction specific prospectus
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of
continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) 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 making representations in this Prospectus regard has been
had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of
the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to
be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors
may consult.
Section 5.3
Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the
Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which
investors should be aware are set out in Section 4, including (but not
limited to) risks in respect of:

Potential for significant dilution:Upon completion of the Offers,
assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised
prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will
increase from 2,145,384,000 to 3,003,537,600. This increase equates
to approximately 28.6% of all the issued Shares in the Company
following completion of the Offers. See Section 4.1(a);

Exploration and Operational risks:Mining exploration and production
is inherently risky and speculative in nature. There is no guarantee
that gold or other mineral deposits will be discovered in the locations
being explored by the Company. In the event that deposits are, or
have been discovered, there is no guarantee that they will be in
commercially viable quantities or economically profitable. In addition,
the Company's operations and profitability will be affected by
operational risks. These include geological conditions, technical
difficulties, securing and maintaining tenements, weather and
construction of efficient processing facilities. See Section 4.2(a);

Title risk: The Company has operations and assets located in foreign
jurisdictions, including exploration and/or mining permits in Burkina
Faso and Chile. In Burkina Faso and Chile, each exploration permit is
for a specific term. Further, in Burkina Faso each exploration permit
carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well
as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company
could lose title to or its interest in permits and concessions if permit
and concession conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are
available to meet expenditure commitments. See Section 4.2(c);

Land access:The Company will experience delays and cost overruns in
Section 4

viii

Key Information Further
Information
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 or community activities, government
legislation or other factors. See Section 4.2(e).

Environmental:The Company's operations are subject to
environmental regulations in Burkina Faso and Chile. Environmental
legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards
and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance,
more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a
heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers,
directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in
environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the
Company's operations. See Section 4.2(f).

Future government actions:Future Burkinabé or Chilean government
actions concerning the economy or the operation and regulation of the
mining industry could have a significant effect on the Company. No
assurances can be given that the Company will not be adversely
affected by any future developments in Burkina Faso and Chile. See
Section 4.3(f).

1.1 Entitlement Offer

The Company is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer of ordinary fully paid Shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.003 each to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of two New Shares for every five Shares held at 7:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date, together with one free Attaching Option for every two New Shares issued pursuant to this offer ( Entitlement Offer ). The Attaching Options are intended to be quoted, and will be exercisable at $0.005 each on or before 31 January 2019.

The Entitlement Offer comprises part of a broader capital raising being undertaken by the Company. As announced on 2 August 2017, the Company has completed a placement with Acorn Capital ( Placement ) to raise approximately $446,955 (before costs) by the issue of 178,782,000 Shares at $0.0025 per Share. Acorn Capital will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Share or Attaching Option, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share or Option.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary shares on issue. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer are contained in Section 5.1. Attaching Options issued under the Entitlement Offer will be issued on the terms and conditions contained in Section 5.2.

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall at their absolute discretion. As such there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Top-Up Facility will receive any Shortfall. The Directors reserve the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Additional Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject an Application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall. In that event, Application Monies for Shortfall will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

1.3 Shortfall Offer

Shortfall will also be offered to new shareholders under a shortfall facility, subject to market demand ( Shortfall Offer ).

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to 3 months following the Closing Date.

Participants in the Shortfall Offer will also be issued with one free Attaching Option for every two New Shares subscribed. All Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be issued on the same terms as the Securities being offered under the Entitlement Offer (including the issue price).

Investors wishing to participate in the Shortfall Offer should contact the Company to obtain a copy of this Prospectus and the Shortfall Application Form.

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall at their absolute discretion. As such there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Shortfall Offer will receive any Shortfall.

If the Company does not raise the full amount under the Offers, funds allocated to the exploration program for the Kouri Gold Project and to pursue Paguanta commercial opportunities will be scaled back.

The above is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Prospectus. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

1.6 Effect on control of the Company

The total number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Offers is 858,153,600, which will constitute 28.6% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers (assuming no other Shares are issued or Securities exercised or converted to Shares prior to the Record Date).

The Company is of the view that the Offers will not affect the Control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company.

No nominee has been appointed for Ineligible Foreign Shareholders under section 615 of the Corporations Act and, as such, Eligible Shareholders will not be able to rely on the exception for rights issues in item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, when an Eligible Shareholder applies for some or all of their Entitlement, they must have regard to section 606 of the Corporations Act. Eligible Shareholders who may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in section 606 as a result of acceptance of their Entitlement should seek professional advice before completing and returning their Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

1.7 Potential dilution to Shareholders

Eligible Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers, their holdings are likely to be diluted. Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

Holder Holding as at
Record Date
% at Record
Date
Entitlement to
Shares
% post-
Offers if
Entitlement
not taken
up
Shareholder 1 400,000,000 18.6% 160,000,000 13.3%
Shareholder 2 200,000,000 9.3% 80,000,000 6.7%
Shareholder 3 100,000,000 4.7% 40,000,000 3.3%
Shareholder 4 50,000,000 2.3% 20,000,000 1.7%
Shareholder 5 25,000,000 1.2% 10,000,000 0.8%

Note:

  1. The dilution effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are subsequently placed pursuant to the Directors' reserved discretion. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall is not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage. The dilution effect also assumes that no Securities will be issued, exercised or converted prior to the Record Date.

1.8 Substantial Shareholders

Based on available information as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:

Substantial Shareholder Number of Shares Voting power
Acorn Capital Limited 178,782,000 8.3%

1.9 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription to the Offers.

1.10 No rights trading

The rights to Securities under the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your Entitlement to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Entitlement Offer to you will lapse.

4

1.11 Issue date and dispatch

All Securities under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued on or before the date specified in the proposed timetable in this Prospectus.

Security holder statements will be dispatched at the end of the calendar month following the issue of the Securities under the Entitlement Offer.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Securities. Applicants who sell Securities before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.12 Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for the Securities issued by this Prospectus will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Securities are issued under the Offers. All Application Monies received in respect of the Offers will be returned (without interest) if the Securities under the Offers are not issued.

1.13 ASX quotation

Application has been or will be made for the official quotation of the Securities offered by this Prospectus. If permission is not granted by ASX for the official quotation of the Securities offered by this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.14

CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Securities pursuant to their acceptance of the Offers.

Shareholders who are broker sponsored will receive a CHESS statement from ASX Settlement Pty Limited.

The CHESS statement will specify the number of Securities issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Securities.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by Link Market Services Limited and will contain the number of Securities issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Security holders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Security

5

holding changes. Security holders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.15 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders

This Prospectus, and any accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, do not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer of Securities in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus or the Securities under the Entitlement Offer.

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

The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. The Company has formed this view having considered:

  • (a) the number and value of the Securities that would be offered to those Shareholders; and

  • (b) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

1.16 New Zealand offer restrictions

The Securities are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand at the Record Date.

This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority.

This Prospectus has been prepared without regard to the disclosure standards for issuance prospectuses under art. 652a or art. 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations or the disclosure standards for listing prospectuses under the SIX Listing Rules or the listing rules of any other stock exchange or regulated trading facility in Switzerland.

Any offer is not made to you with a view to the new Securities being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire new Securities. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.

1.21 Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Entitlement Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

1.22

If you elect to pay via BPAY, you must follow the instructions for BPAY set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

2.2 If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement

Should you wish to only take up part of your Entitlement to Securities under the Entitlement Offer and you are not paying by BPAY, then applications for Securities under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian dollars, crossed "Not Negotiable" and made payable to " Golden Rim Resources Ltd " and lodged at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date at the address indicated at Section 2.1 above.

Applications will be deemed not to have been received until the Company is in receipt of cleared funds.

If paying via BPAY, Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment and it is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that funds are submitted through BPAY by the Closing Date. If you elect to pay via BPAY, you must follow the instructions for BPAY set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please note that if you pay by BPAY and you subscribe for less than your Entitlement or you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares that is covered in full by the funds transferred.

Applicants are encouraged to pay via BPAY.

2.3 Entitlements not taken up

If you do not wish to accept any of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. The number of Shares you hold and the rights attached to those Shares will not be affected should you choose not to accept any of your Entitlement. If you do not take up your Entitlement, or only accept part of your Entitlement, the New Shares attributable to your Entitlement that you do not take up will form part of the Shortfall. The Shortfall will be offered under the Top-Up Facility to Eligible Shareholders and to the general public under the Shortfall Offer.

2.4

Entitlement and Acceptance Form

Acceptance of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Securities accepted by the Company. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of Securities.

If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat the application as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, is final.

11

The Company will send this Prospectus, together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to all Eligible Shareholders.

By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies, or making a payment via BPAY, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder. In addition, you will also be deemed to have represented and warranted on behalf of yourself or each person on whose account you are acting that the law in your place of residence and/or where you have been given the Prospectus, does not prohibit you from being given the Prospectus and that you:

  • (a) agree to be bound by the terms of the Entitlement Offer;

  • (b) declare that all details and statements in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form are complete and accurate;

  • (c) declare that you are over 18 years of age and have full legal capacity and power to perform all your rights and obligations under the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

  • (d) authorise the Company and its respective officers or agents, to do anything on your behalf necessary for the Securities to be issued to you, including to act on instructions of the Company's Share Registry upon using the contact details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

  • (e) declare that you are the current registered holder of Shares as at the Record Date and have a registered address in Australia or subject to the offer restrictions in Sections 1.16 to 1.20, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland or Singapore;

  • (g) acknowledge that the Securities have not, and will not be, registered under the securities laws in any other jurisdictions outside Australia.

2.5 Action in relation to Shortfall Offer

Investors wishing to participate in the Shortfall Offer should contact the Company to obtain a copy of this Prospectus and the Shortfall Application Form ( Shortfall Application Form ).

Acceptance of a completed a Shortfall Application Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the relevant Applicant and the Company for the number of Securities accepted by the Company. The Shortfall Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of Securities.

If the Shortfall Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors’ decision as to whether to treat a Shortfall Application Form as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the application form, is final.

3.4 Dividend Policy

The Directors are not able to say when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as the payment of any dividends will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.

16

4. Risk Factors

An investment in Securities offered by this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative. Activities in the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company has implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however some are outside its control.

The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which prospective investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and the risks of investing in the Company. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in the Prospectus.

The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

4.1

Risks specific to the Offers

(a) Potential for significant dilution

Upon completion of the Offers, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 2,145,384,000 to 3,003,537,600. This increase equates to approximately 28.6% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offers.

This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offers and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.

The closing trading price of Shares on ASX on the day prior to the date of this Prospectus of $0.004 on 7 August 2017 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares following completion of the Offers.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 28.6% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Please refer to Section 1.7 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Offers may impact Shareholders.

4.2 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Exploration and operational risks

Mining exploration and production is inherently risky and speculative in nature. There is no guarantee that gold or other mineral deposits will be discovered in the locations being explored by the Company. In the event that deposits are, or have been discovered, there is no guarantee that they will be in commercially viable quantities or economically profitable.

In addition, the Company's operations and profitability will be affected by operational risks. These include geological conditions, technical difficulties,

17

securing and maintaining tenements, weather and construction of efficient processing facilities. The operation may be affected by force majeure, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

Further, the Company may require approvals and licences necessary to conduct the exploration and mining, which may impose conditions the Company must satisfy in order to proceed with the exploration or production of the deposits. It may not be possible for the Company to satisfy these conditions.

The Company’s operations may be impacted by local community actions. There is no assurance that the Company’s operations will not be impacted by such actions or to the extent they may be impacted. To the extent such actions occur, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

These factors affect the Company's ability to establish mining operations, continue with its projects, earn income from its operations and will affect the Company's share price.

(b) Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.

In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. 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.

(c)

Title risk

The Company has operations and assets located in foreign jurisdictions, including exploration and/or mining permits in Burkina Faso and Chile.

In Burkina Faso and Chile, each exploration permit is for a specific term. Further, in Burkina Faso each exploration permit carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance.

Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in permits and concessions if permit and concession conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

There is no guarantee that the exploration permits granted by the governments of Burkina Faso and Chile in connection with the properties will be renewed upon their termination.

18

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations including in any other foreign jurisdiction other than Burkina Faso or Chile. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.

(d) Commodity prices

In the future, the Company's revenue will come from sale of product. Therefore, its earnings will be closely related to the price and arrangements it enters into for selling of its products. Product prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for gold, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions.

Commodity prices are also affected by the outlook for inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates and supply and demand issues. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities as well as its ability to fund those activities.

In particular, the Company's future profitability depends upon the world market price of gold, silver, zinc and lead. Should the Company be successful in developing its existing projects and bringing them into production, if the market prices for those commodities fall below the Company's production costs and remain at such levels for any sustained period of time, it may not be economically feasible to commence or continue production. This would materially and adversely affect production, profitability and the Company's financial position. The Company may, against a decline in the commodity prices, experience losses and may determine to discontinue operations or development of a project or mining at one or more of its properties. If the relevant price drops significantly, the economic prospects of the projects in which the Company has an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic.

A decline in the market prices of relevant commodities may also require the Company to write down its mineral reserves and resources which would have a material and adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant write-down in reserves and resources be required, material writedown of the Company's investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation, reclamation and closure expenses may be required.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities, including gold, are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(e) 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

19

of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder's or community activities, government legislation (as noted above under Section 4.2(c)) or other factors.

Access to land often depends on the Company being successful in negotiating with landholders. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain all the permissions required as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith. To the extent such permissions are not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

The maintenance, renewal and granting of concessions 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 or exploration concessions 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.

(f) Environmental regulation risk

The Company's operations are subject to environmental regulations in Burkina Faso and Chile.

Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for noncompliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations.

Government approvals and permits are required in connection with the Company's operations including in any other foreign jurisdiction other than Burkina Faso or Chile. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions (including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed) and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the Company's operations and activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in the development of new properties.

20

(g) Environmental liabilities risk

The Company's activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.

(h) Land rehabilitation requirements

Although variable, depending on location and the governing authority, land rehabilitation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, as well as companies with mining operations, in order to minimise long term effects of land disturbance. Rehabilitation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and to reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. In order to carry out rehabilitation obligations imposed on the Company in connection with its mineral exploration, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and/or development programs.

(i) Foreign investment risk

The Company has operations and assets located in foreign jurisdictions. As a result the Company is subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in mining and exploration policies or the personnel administering them, nationalisation or expropriation of property, cancellation or modification of contractual rights, foreign exchange restrictions, currency exchange rate fluctuation, royalty and tax increase and other risks arising out of foreign government sovereignty over the areas in which the Company's operations are conducted.

The Company's projects are subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

21

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Burkina Faso or Chile that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

The legal systems operating in Burkina Faso and Chile may be less developed than more established countries, which may result in risks such as:

  • (i) political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute;

  • (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies;

  • (iii) the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights;

  • (iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; and

  • (v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in such matter.

The commitment by local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial systems to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licences and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licences, license application or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured.

(j) Reliance on key management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Company's ability to manage its exploration and development activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management's discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

4.3 General Risks

(a) Economic Risks

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

22

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency exchange rate fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

(b) Insurance coverage risk

Exploration and development operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes, changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.

Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

(c) Unforeseen expenses

The Company may be subject to significant unforeseen expenses or actions.

This may include unplanned operating expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future unforeseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives however there is the risk that additional funds may be required to fund the Company's future objectives.

(d) Litigation risk

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.

23

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company's activities.

(e)

Market conditions

The market price of the Company's Shares could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Company's Shares may fluctuate based on a number of factors including the Company's operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies, the public's reaction to the Company's press releases, other public announcements and the Company's filings with the various securities regulatory authorities, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company's Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector, changes in general economic conditions, the number of the Company's Shares publicly traded and the arrival or departure of key personnel, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Company's Shares are affected by many variables not directly related to the Company's success and are therefore not within the Company's control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Company's Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.

(f) Future government actions

Future Burkinabé or Chilean government actions concerning the economy or the operation and regulation of the mining industry could have a significant effect on the Company. No assurances can be given that the Company will not be adversely affected by any future developments in Burkina Faso and Chile.

(g) Joint venture parties, contractors and agents

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company or its associated companies is or may become a party; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activities.

4.4 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

24

materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities. Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is high risk and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
