LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to invite you as a valued Shareholder of Golden Rim Resources Ltd ( Company ) to participate in a three (3) for eleven (11) pro rata renounceable offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.014 per New Share ( Issue Price ) to raise up to approximately $3.45 million ( Rights Issue ) before costs.

Under the Rights Issue, which is fully underwritten by Patersons Securities, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for three (3) New Shares for every eleven (11) existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company held on the record date, being 5:00pm (AEST) on 23 August 2019 ( Record Date ). New Shares issued under the Rights Issue will rank equally with existing Shares. Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ) at the Issue Price.

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

  • Drilling, including reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling, diamond drilling and auger drilling, at the Kouri Gold Project ( Kouri ) in Burkina Faso; and

  • General working capital and costs of the Rights Issue.

The Company recently completed a transformational transaction to acquire 2 permits that adjoin Kouri, increasing the project area from 58km[2] to 245km[2 ] (see ASX announcement dated 28 June 2019). Further, the Company has secured the exclusive right to purchase another adjoining permit that will increase the project area by an additional 80km[2] (see ASX announcement dated 18 July 2019).

The first drilling in the new permits has returned exceptional results (see ASX announcement dated 5 August 2019). The majority of the new permits remain unexplored and therefore present further potential for new discoveries.

The Company’s exploration plans make for a busy time and we look forward to updating the market with news and results as they come to hand.

The Rights Issue closes at 5.00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 11 September 2019 . To participate in the Rights Issue, you must apply for New Shares before this time in accordance with the instructions set out in Section 2 of this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus.

It is important that you carefully read this Prospectus and the other publicly available information about the Company on our website (www.goldenrim.com.au) and consider in particular the risk factors set out in Section 4 before making any investment decision. With this Prospectus you will also find your Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your Entitlement and provides instructions on how to participate in the Rights Issue.

On behalf of the Directors, I invite you to consider this opportunity and thank you for your continued support.

Yours faithfully

Glenister Lamont Chairman

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 New Shares.

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 New Shares 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:
Country risk:

The Company's operations and assets are located in Burkina Faso and Chile.
The Company’s operations in Burkina Faso and Chile are exposed to various
levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated
with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates, high rates of
inflation, terrorism, labour unrest, social unrest, civil disobedience,
renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and
contracts, changes in taxation policies, changing political conditions, war
and civil conflict, lack of law enforcement, currency controls and
governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to
local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or
purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political
attitude in Burkina Faso and/or Chile may adversely affect the Company’s
operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by
government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on
production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income
taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation,
land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to
comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating
to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or
expropriation of interests.

Given the Company’s focus on its operations in Burkina Faso, the security of
the Company’s employees and contractors in Burkina Faso, in particular, is
key to the Company’s ability to perform its exploration and development
activities and hence its success. However,the securityenvironment in

Section 4

v

Key Information

Further Information

Burkina Faso and/or Chile may deteriorate and adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability, in any event. 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. The legal systems operating in Burkina Faso and Chile may be less developed than more established countries, which may also result in risks. See Section 4.1(b).

Additional requirements for capital :

 The Company’s ongoing activities and growth through development will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to access the funds necessary to finance its future activities and successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

 Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. See Section 4.1(a).

Exploration and operational risks :

 The future profitability of the Company and the value of its Shares are directly related to the results of exploration and any subsequent project development. Until the Company can realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating costs. There are risks in undertaking exploration and development activities, which are inherently risky and speculative. 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, attracting and retaining suitable staff in remote locations and construction of efficient processing facilities. See Section 4.1(c).

Access to land

 The Company will likely 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, harvesting, landholder's or community activities, government legislation or other factors. In particular, Burkina Faso has a rainy season in the summer months. This has previously impacted on the Company's ability to conduct operations such as drilling and may do so in the future. See Section 4.1(d).

Further Information

Key Information

Reliance on key personnel

  • The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its small senior management group. As the Company is a small organisation, there is substantial reliance on a few key personnel.

  • Further as the Company's operations are in overseas jurisdictions, personnel with in-country knowledge are valuable to the Company's exploration and development activities. 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. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these personnel were to leave the Company or are unable to perform their duties. See Section 4.1(l).

Title risk

  • The Company's operations and exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions in Burkina Faso and Chile. The Company’s exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions are subject to the 2015 Mining Code of Burkina Faso or 1983 Mining Code of Chile, as applicable.

  • In Burkina Faso, each exploration permit is for a specific term following which a replacement permit or exploitation permit may be applied for. The Kouri Permit is due for renewal in April 2020. The permit may then be renewed for two further periods of 3 years each. The Margou Permit expires in May 2021.The Babonga Permit expires in June 2020. The Goueli Permit expires in July 2020. Each exploration permit carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other material conditions requiring compliance, such as satisfaction of other statutory payments (including land taxes and statutory duties) and compliance public health and safety laws. 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 or statutory payments. There is no guarantee that the exploration permits granted by the government of Burkina Faso in connection with the properties will be renewed upon their termination.

  • In Chile, the Company holds exploitation concessions that are not subject to a renewal process other than the payment of an annual fee. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in concessions due to administrative error or if insufficient funds are available to meet statutory payments. There are no annual expenditure commitments on the exploitation concessions in Chile. The exploitation concessions in Chile are not subject to a specific term and therefore do not carry an expiration date.

  • 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. See Section 4.1(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 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 4.1(h).
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 4.1(k).

1. Details of the Rights Issue

1.1 Rights Issue

The Company is making a renounceable pro rata offer to Eligible Shareholders of New Shares at an Issue Price of $0.014 each, on the basis of three (3) New Shares for every eleven (11) Shares held at 5.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date ( Rights Issue ).

As announced on 15 August 2019, the Company is also undertaking a placement to qualified, institutional, sophisticated and professional investors of 130,000,000 Shares at the Issue Price ( Placement Shares ) under its Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity to raise approximately $1.82 million (before costs) ( Placement ). It is intended the Placement settles prior to the Record Date for the Rights Issue such that Placement participants are eligible to participate in the Rights Issue (to the extent they are Eligible Shareholders). Together with the Rights Issue, the Company will raise approximately $5.27 million (before costs).

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has on issue 773,220,808 Shares, and 121,160,564 Options. As at the Record Date, assuming completion of the Placement has occurred, the Company will have on issue 903,220,808 Shares.

On the assumption that the Placement Shares are issued prior to the Record Date, no Options are exercised before the Record Date, and subject to rounding, the Rights Issue is for a maximum of approximately 246.3 million New Shares to raise up to approximately $3.45 million (before costs).

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

Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to apply for additional Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ). Further details are contained in Section 1.2 below.

New Shares issued under the Rights Issue will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares proposed to be issued under the Rights Issue are contained in Section 5.1.

1.2 Additional New Shares

The Company will allow Eligible Shareholders that have fully subscribed for their Entitlement under the Rights Issue to subscribe for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ). Eligible Shareholders can subscribe for Additional New Shares by completing the relevant part of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or through BPAY [®] . Please refer to Section 2.4.

The issue of Additional New Shares will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders if they had been entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

If the Company receives applications for Additional New Shares that would result in the Rights Issue being oversubscribed, then the Company reserves its rights to accept such oversubscriptions up to its available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity. Any Additional New Shares applied for in excess of your Entitlement will be issued at the discretion of the Underwriter, in consultation with the Company. Eligible

1

Shareholders that apply for Additional New Shares may therefore receive all, some or none of the Additional New Shares that they apply for.

There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive the number of Additional New Shares applied for. The Company's decision on the number of New Shares and Additional New Shares to be allocated will be final. In the event of a scale back, the difference between the Application Monies received, and the number of New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded by the Company, without interest, following allotment.

The Company will not issue Additional New Shares where the Company is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act (including section 606 of the Corporations Act) or the Listing Rules. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Additional New Shares must consider whether the issue of the Additional New Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances (including the existence of any associates). The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for monitoring such applications or ensuring that individual Shareholders do not breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules as a result of participation in the Rights Issue.

Directors and related parties of the Company will not be issued any Additional New Shares without the prior approval of Shareholders.

If there remains a shortfall after the allocation of Additional New Shares to Shareholders, the remaining shares will become Shortfall Shares. Shortfall Shares will be subscribed for pursuant to terms of the Underwriting Agreement (see Section 5.2(a)).

1.3 Purpose of the Placement and Rights Issue and Use of Funds

On the basis that the Placement completes and the Rights Issue is fully underwritten, cash at hand will increase by approximately $5.27 million before costs (assuming no existing Options are converted into Shares prior to the Record Date).

The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Placement and Rights Issue in accordance with the table set out below:

Item of expenditure Amount ($'000) %
Drilling 3,700 70%
Geophysics 400 8%
Working capital requirements1 752 14%
Expenses of the Placement and Rights
Issue2
418 8%
TOTAL 5,270 100%

Notes:

  1. Working capital incorporates staff, administration and corporate costs.

  2. See Section 5.11 for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Rights Issue.

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, including market conditions, the development of new opportunities and/or any number of other factors. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

1.4

Opening and Closing Dates

For the Rights Issue, the Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms from the Opening Date until 5.00pm AEST on Wednesday, 11 September 2019 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules ( Closing Date ).

1.7

Effect on control

See Section 3.3 for information on the effect of the Rights Issue on the control of the Company.

Rights trading

The Entitlements under the Rights Issue are renounceable. Accordingly, there will be trading of Entitlements on ASX and you may trade your Entitlements to subscribe for Shares to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Rights Issue to you will lapse.

Trading of Entitlements on ASX is expected to occur in accordance with the timetable.

All New Shares under the Rights Issue are expected to be issued on or before the date set out in the proposed timetable in this Prospectus.

Security holder statements will be despatched as soon as possible after the issue of the New Shares.

Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for the New Shares 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 New Shares are issued.

1.12

CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS, operated by ASX Settlement Pty Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares pursuant to their acceptance of the Rights Issue.

Shareholders and investors who are broker sponsored will receive a CHESS statement

from ASX Settlement Pty Limited.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of Shares 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 Shares.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.13 Residents outside Australia

(a) General

This Prospectus, and any accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer of Shares 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 New Shares under the Rights Issue.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia 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.

Shareholders (including Ineligible Foreign Shareholders) and potential investors with a registered address outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to accept or deal with their Entitlement. The return of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form from a Shareholder or potential investor with a registered

4

address outside Australia will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by that Shareholder or potential investor that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that the Company may legally issue the New Shares to that Shareholder or potential investor.

(b) New Zealand offer restrictions

The New Shares 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 to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand).

This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

(c) Guernsey offer restrictions

The New Shares may only be offered or sold in or from within the Bailiwick of Guernsey to existing shareholders of the Company.

(d) Hong Kong offer restrictions

WARNING: The contents of this Prospectus have not been reviewed by any Hong Kong regulatory authority. You are advised to exercise caution in relation to the Rights Issue. If you are in doubt about any contents of this document, you should obtain independent professional advice.

(e) Mauritius offer restrictions

In accordance with The Securities Act 2005 of Mauritius, no offer of the New Shares may be made to the public in Mauritius without the prior approval of the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. Accordingly, this offer is being made on a private placement basis only and does not constitute a public offering. As such, this Prospectus has not been approved or registered by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission and is for the exclusive use of the person to whom it is addressed. The Prospectus is confidential and should not be disclosed or distributed in any way without the express written permission of the Company.

(f) United Kingdom offer restrictions

Neither the information in this Prospectus nor any other document relating to the offer has been delivered for approval to the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom and no prospectus (within the meaning of section 85 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended ( FSMA )) has been published or is intended to be published in respect of the New Shares and the Entitlements.

This Prospectus is issued on a confidential basis to fewer than 150 persons (other than "qualified investors" (within the meaning of section 86(7) of FSMA)) in the United Kingdom, and the New Shares and the Entitlements may not be offered or sold in the United Kingdom by means of this Prospectus, any accompanying letter or any other document, except in circumstances

5

which do not require the publication of a prospectus pursuant to section 86(1) FSMA. This Prospectus should not be distributed, published or reproduced, in whole or in part, nor may its contents be disclosed by recipients to any other person in the United Kingdom.

Any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 FSMA) received in connection with the issue or sale of the New Shares and the Entitlements has only been communicated or caused to be communicated and will only be communicated or caused to be communicated in the United Kingdom in circumstances in which section 21(1) FSMA does not apply to the Company.

In the United Kingdom, this Prospectus is being distributed only to, and is directed at, persons:

  • (i) who fall within Article 43 (members or creditors of certain bodies corporate) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotions) Order 2005, as amended; or

  • (ii) to whom it may otherwise be lawfully communicated (together "relevant persons").

The investment to which this Prospectus relates is available only to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to purchase will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this Prospectus or any of its contents.

(g) Ineligible Foreign Shareholders

The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Rights Issue to Shareholders who on the Record Date have a registered address outside Australia, New Zealand, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Mauritius or the United Kingdom ( Ineligible Foreign Shareholders ). The Company has formed this view having considered:

  • (i) the number and value of the New Shares that would be offered to those Shareholders; and

  • (ii) 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 Rights Issue. The Directors do however reserve their right to accept subscriptions from Eligible Shareholders from outside Australia.

(h) Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Rights Issue 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 Shares. 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 Rights Issue is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

Nominees and custodians may not distribute this Prospectus, and may not permit any beneficial Shareholder to participate in the Rights Issue, in any country outside Australia except, with the consent of the Company, to

6

beneficial Shareholders resident in certain other countries where the Company may determine it is lawful and practical to make the Rights Issue.

1.14 Risk factors

An investment in New Shares of the Company should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific and general risks associated with an investment in the Company which are detailed in Section 4.

1.15 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders or potential investors advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Prospectus. The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders or potential investors. As a result, Shareholders and potential investors should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares under this Prospectus.

1.16 Major activities and financial information

A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 and the financial year ended 30 June 2018 can be found in the Company's Half Yearly Report for the six-month period to 31 December 2018 and the 2018 Annual Report lodged with ASX. The Company has made continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since the lodgement of its Annual Report on 21 September 2018, as outlined in Section 5.4(a).

Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. The Directors strongly recommend that Applicants review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate in the Rights Issue.

1.17

3.3 Effect of the Rights Issue on control of the Company

Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a person, unless an exception applies, from increasing their voting power in the Company:

  • (a) from 20% or below to above 20%; or

  • (b) from a starting point of above 20% and below 90%.

One of the exceptions to section 606(1) is where that increase occurs as a result of an issue under a disclosure document to an underwriter or sub-underwriter to the issue. Notwithstanding this exception, the Company notes that no investor or existing Shareholder is anticipated to hold a voting power of 20% or more as a result of the Rights Issue.

The Underwriter presently has no Shares or Options in the Company, and it has indicated that it has no intention of acquiring Shares in the Company prior to the Record Date. The Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Rights Issue.

The Underwriter's maximum potential relevant interest in Shares and voting power in the Company under several scenarios are set out in the table below and are based on the assumptions that:

  • (a) other than the Placement, no further Shares are issued; and

  • (b) the Underwriter subscribes for Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (in the highly unlikely event that all binding sub-underwriting agreements which are in place between the Underwriter and subunderwriters are breached and the sub-underwriters do not perform).

The Underwriter has confirmed with the Company that the Underwritten Amount is fully sub-underwritten and, in the event that no Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement under this Prospectus, then no sub-underwriter will hold voting power of 20% or more.

3.4 Potential dilution

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Rights Issue, their

17

holdings are likely to be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

4. Risk factors

The New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of the Company. Whilst the Directors recommend the Rights Issue, potential investors should consider whether the New Shares offered are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out below.

This Section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company (and its subsidiaries) involves a number of risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies.

There are general risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There are also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business and its involvement in the exploration and mining industry. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the activities of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, lists some of the major risk factors, of which potential investors need to be aware.

Potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to participate in the Rights Issue.

4.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s ongoing activities and growth through development will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to access the funds necessary to finance its future activities and successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

(b) Country risk

The Company's operations and assets are located in Burkina Faso and Chile. The Company’s operations in Burkina Faso and Chile are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, terrorism, labour unrest, social unrest, civil disobedience, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, changing political conditions, war and civil conflict, lack of law enforcement, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

19

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Burkina Faso and/or Chile may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of interests.

Given the Company’s focus on its operations in Burkina Faso, the security of the Company’s employees and contractors in Burkina Faso, in particular, is key to the Company’s ability to perform its exploration and development activities and hence its success. However, the security environment in Burkina Faso and/or Chile may deteriorate and adversely affect the Company’s operations.

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.

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.

(c) Exploration and operational risks

The future profitability of the Company and the value of its Shares are directly related to the results of exploration and any subsequent project development. Until the Company can realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating costs. There are risks in undertaking exploration and development activities, which are inherently risky and speculative including:

20

  • (i) 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.

  • (ii) Operational risks including geological conditions, technical difficulties, securing and maintaining tenements, weather, attracting and retaining suitable staff in remote locations and construction of efficient processing facilities. The operation may be affected by force majeure, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

  • (iii) Obtaining approvals and licences necessary to conduct the exploration and mining, and satisfying conditions which may be imposed in order to proceed with the exploration or mining of the deposits. It may not be possible for the Company to satisfy these conditions, which may preclude the Company from carry out its activities.

  • (iv) 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 Share price.

(d) Access to land

The Company will likely 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, harvesting, landholder's or community activities, government legislation or other factors. In particular, Burkina Faso has a rainy season in the summer months. This has previously impacted on the Company's ability to conduct operations such as drilling and may do so in the future.

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

21

Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

(e) 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, resource estimates are necessarily 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.

(f)

Title risk

The Company's operations and exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions are located in Burkina Faso and Chile.

The Company has 100% wholly owned exploration permits in Burkina Faso as follows: Kouri, Margou and Babonga.

The Company is the 100% beneficial owner of the Goueli Permit in Burkina Faso which is held on trust by an unrelated third party. Currently, the Goueli Permit is the subject of an application transferring it directly to the Company’s Burkina Faso subsidiary. The Company understands that the transfer is a matter of process. Should the transfer not be effected for any reason, the Goueli Permit will continue to be held on trust.

Through a joint venture company, the Company has an approximate 73% interest in exploitation concessions in Chile (the Paguanta Project) as follows: José Miguel 1 1-30, José Miguel 2 1-30, José Miguel 3 1-30, José Miguel 4 1-30, José Miguel 5 1-30, José Miguel 6 1-30, José Miguel 7 1-30, José Miguel 8 1-30, Carlos Felipe 1 1-30, Carlos Felipe 2 1-30, Carlos Felipe 3 1-30, Carlos Felipe 4 1-30, Carlos Felipe 5 1-30, and Carlos Felipe 6 1-30.

The Company is also well advanced in the process of converting the following exploration concessions in Chile to exploitation concessions Teki I 1, Teki I 2, Teki I 3, Teki I 4, Teki I 5, Teki I 6, and Teki I 7. These concessions are 100% wholly owned by the Company and not the joint venture company, although they are in close proximity to the Paguanta Project. All of these concessions have Sernageomín’s (National Geology and Mining Service) final approval. The final resolutions are dated January 2019 and, in respect of Teki I 5 1/60, 3 June 2019.

The Company’s exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions are subject to the 2015 Mining Code of Burkina Faso or 1983 Mining Code of Chile , as applicable.

In Burkina Faso, each exploration permit is granted for a specific term following which a replacement permit or exploitation permit may be applied for. The Kouri Permit is due for renewal in April 2020. The permit may then be renewed for two further periods of 3 years each. The Margou Permit

22

expires in May 2021.The Babonga Permit expires in June 2020. The Goueli Permit expires in July 2020. Each exploration permit carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other material conditions requiring compliance, such as satisfaction of other statutory payments (including land taxes and statutory duties) and compliance with work programmes and public health and safety laws.

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 or statutory payments.

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

In Chile, the Company holds exploitation concessions that are not subject to a renewal process other than the payment of an annual fee. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in concessions due to administrative error or if insufficient funds are available to meet the annual fee payable. There are no annual expenditure commitments on the exploitation concessions in Chile. The exploitation concessions in Chile are not subject to a specific term and therefore do not carry an expiration date.

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.

(g) Commodity prices

If the Company's projects are developed to production, the Company's revenue will come from the 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, such as inflation, interest rates and currency exchange rates.

In particular, fluctuations in gold, silver, zinc and lead prices will significantly affect the Company's future operations and profitability. 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 resources which would have a material

23

and adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant write-down in resources be required, material write-down of the Company's investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation, reclamation and closure expenses may be required.

Fluctuations in commodity prices may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities as well as its ability to fund those activities.

(h) Environmental regulation risk

The Company's operations are subject to environmental regulations in Burkina Faso and Chile. These regulations include a number of environmental obligations including, but not limited to:

  • (i) in Chile, the submission of environmental impact statements or environmental impact studies; and

  • (ii) in Burkina Faso, the Mining Code and regulations contain provisions that regulate the environmental aspects of mining activities together with more specific regulation under environmental legislation and regulations. Any applicant for mining title, except for exploration permit or authorization for quarrying exploitation, must undertake an environmental impact study along with a public survey and an environmental management and mitigation plan.

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.

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.

(i) 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

24

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.

(j) 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. Such obligations exist in Burkina Faso and Chile. 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.

(k) 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/or Chile.

(l) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its small senior management group. As the Company is a small organisation, there is substantial reliance on a few key personnel. Further as the Company's operations are in overseas jurisdictions, personnel with in-country knowledge are valuable to the Company's exploration and development activities. 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. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these personnel were to leave the Company or are unable to perform their duties.

(m) Corporate responsibility risk

The Company’s operations and activities interact with a range of community stakeholders who have an interest in the impacts of the Company’s activities and require the Company to maintain a social licence to discover, develop and operate mining projects. This encompasses compliance with environmental laws and regulations, occupational health and safety laws and regulations and anti-bribery and corruption laws. It also encompasses establishment and maintenance of community relations in Burkina Faso and Chile. These give rise to a range of risks including land access, reputational risk and the risk of losing its ‘social licence’ to operate. These risks have the potential to reduce access to resources, impact the Company’s reputation and increase operating costs including from compliance obligations arising from changes in laws and regulations.

25

4.2 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.

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.

26

(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.

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) 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.

4.3 Investment Speculative

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

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

27

Potential investors 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.

28

5.3 Company is a disclosing entity

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making the information available to the securities market conducted by ASX.
