2. The Company and its operations

China Yunnan Copper Australia Limited (CYU) is an Australian resource company formed to explore and develop minerals in Australia and overseas.

CYU has a two pronged strategy of project generation and operating current projects that comprise high quality copper, gold and uranium projects in eleven wholly owned Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM’s) in the highly mineralised Mt Isa Inlier, Ravenswood-Pentland Province and the Clermont Inlier of Queensland, Australia.

Initially, the company is focused on exploring its tenements in Queensland for copper, gold and uranium and is actively evaluating other acquisition and joint venture opportunities to grow its business rapidly. This strategy has been justified with the recent exploration success at Gem. In the current year, CYU intends upon expanding the business in terms of joint ventures and acquisitions with the short term goal of being a profitable production company.

The management and technical team of CYU has extensive commercial and technical experience. Discovery track record of the current team and a background in commodities trading and Australian corporate experience renders CYU in a strong position going forward.

This strategy is supported and assisted by CYU’s cornerstone shareholder, Yunnan Copper Industry (Group) Co Ltd. (YCI) which is China’s third largest copper producer. Chinalco is the major shareholder of YCI. YCI provides ongoing support in CYU’s goal of becoming YCI’s international investment arm and mining house. Yunnan Copper Industries has recently invited CYU to assess possible joint ventures in three copper gold properties in the Yangla Copper Belt of Southern China. This prolific porphyry copper belt is host to some of the largest copper producing operations in China with minimal competitor activity. These opportunities will be balanced with the many projects that are available to the Company at this time.

CYU has recently released promising drill results at its prospective Gem copper prospect and is targeting a maiden resource by 2010. The Cloncurry exploration program resulted in the Gem discovery with results including 38m @ 1.25% copper and 0.20 g/t gold from 33m. The Gem mineralisation is hosted in granite which is unique in the region.

CYU considers these results very important in terms of discovering a significant new style of iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) system. Mineralisation remains open down dip and along strike and is being developed at present with geophysical techniques to determine the trend of the mineralisation under cover.

Potential effect of the offer

The Offer is a pro-rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements and none of the Optionholders exercise their Existing Options and participate in the Offer, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same.

The Issue will be underwritten. In the event of a Shortfall, the directors of the Company reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their sole discretion in conjunction with the Underwriter as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

3. Risk factors

Introduction

The activities of the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on its future performance. The Company has appropriate actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control. The principal risk factors are described below.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties set out below and the information contained elsewhere in this Offer Document before you decide whether to accept New Shares.

Nature of investment

Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for New Shares involves risks. The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return on capital or the market value of those New Shares. An Applicant may not be able to recoup his or her initial investment. More specifically, the risks are that:

  • the price at which the Applicant is able to sell the New Shares is less than the price paid due to changes in market circumstances;

  • the Applicant is unable to sell the New Shares;

  • the Company is placed in receivership or liquidation making it reasonably foreseeable that Shareholders could receive none, or only some of their initial investment; and

  • the Company fails to generate sufficient profit in order to pay dividends.

Stock Market

The New Shares may trade on the ASX at higher or lower prices than the Issue Price. Investors who decide to sell their New Shares after listing may not receive the entire amount of their original investment.

The Shares of the Company are currently listed on the ASX. However, there can be no guarantee that there is or will be an active market in the Shares or that the price of the New Shares will increase.

The price at which the New Shares trade on the ASX may be affected by the financial performance of the Company and by external factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control. These factors include movements on international share markets, local interest rates and exchange rates, domestic and international economic conditions, government taxation, market supply and demand and other legal, regulatory or policy changes.

Economic factors

The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the levels of consumer confidence and spending, business confidence and investment, employment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, access to debt and capital markets, fiscal policy, monetary policy and regulatory policies. A prolonged deterioration in any number of the above factors may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and financial performance.

CYU Rights Issue

Page 12 of 25

Exploration Risk

Most of the tenements in which the Company holds an interest are at various stages of exploration and accordingly, the Shares offered by this document are considered speculative in nature. The investment of capital by the Company in exploration involves a high degree of risk.

The success or failure of the exploration programs to be undertaken by the Company will affect the future performance of the Company and its Shares.

In the event of the Company being successful in the discovery of deposits of economic mineralisation, development, mining and production from the deposits will be subject to technical, financial, legislative and other factors prevailing at the time, affecting a decision to mine.

Management actions

The Directors of the Company will, to the best of their knowledge, experience and ability (in conjunction with their management) endeavour to anticipate, identify and manage the risks inherent in the activities of the Company, but without assuming any personal liability for same, with the aim of eliminating, avoiding and mitigating the impact of risks on the performance of the Company and its securities.

Unforseen expenses

While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.

Regulatory risk, Government policy

Changes in relevant taxation, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes and Government policies in Australia, may have an adverse affect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its securities.

Acquisition, integration and expansion risk

It is the Company’s intention to add to its asset base through strategic acquisitions. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in expanding its operations either organically or by way of acquisition.

The Company may consider further acquisitions of assets or entities. There is a risk that appropriate acquisition opportunities or alliances may not be available or that the target companies may not enter into dealings with the Company. There is no guarantee that future potential acquisitions will be available on favourable terms or that they will be integrated successfully.

Factors such as a downturn in the national or international economy can impact on the Company’s expansion strategy and the Company’s performance.

Insurance arrangements

The Company maintains insurance within ranges of coverage the Company believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. No assurance however, can be given that the Company will be able to continue to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

CYU Rights Issue

Page 13 of 25

Carbon Risks

Through its exploration and extraction activities, the Company is a potential emitter of greenhouse gases. If an Australian Government implements a regime for carbon emissions trading, the Company may face additional costs, for example costs associated with the monitoring of the Company's carbon emissions or measures taken by the Company to reduce its emissions or purchase carbon credits. As the imposition of any regulatory emissions regime in Australia is not expected in the immediate future, the Company cannot assess what effect, if any, the introduction of an emissions regime would have.

Any application of such a regime may have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, growth prospects, ability to pay dividends and Share price.

Operational risks and costs

If the Company decides to develop and commission a mine, the operations of the Company including mining and processing may be affected by a range of factors. These include failure to achieve predicted grade in exploration, mining and processing, technical difficulties encountered in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure, metallurgical problems which affect extraction rates and costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increase in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

Land Access & Native Title Risk

Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed and the acquisition of prospective tenements is a competitive business.

Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, including private (freehold) land, pastoral lease and native title land or claims under the Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth). The Directors believe that the impact of Native Title with respect to land access on the project for the purpose of exploration, other than causing delays, is likely to be minimal.

Rights to mineral tenements carry with them various obligations in regard to minimum expenditure levels and responsibilities in respect of the environment and safety. Failure to observe these requirements could prejudice the right to maintain title to a given area.

Environmental Risk

The Company’s operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation regarding environmental hazards.

The Company proposes to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company may however, still be limited by the inability to obtain an approval or limited by the terms and conditions governing guidelines. These restrictions may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Additional Capital Requirements

The Company may require additional funds in the future to achieve its objectives. There is no assurance that these funds will be available in the future, or if they are available, that they will be on commercially acceptable terms to the Company. If adequate additional funding is not available or acceptable on the Company’s terms, the Company’s business will be materially and adversely affected.

Any additional equity financing may also have the affect of diluting the existing share holdings.

CYU Rights Issue

Page 14 of 25

The Company may decide to raise additional funds in the future through further capital raising. This may result in the Company issuing additional shares in the Company to third parties who are not presently shareholders of the Company. As a result, existing shareholdings may be diluted.

Other risks

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

4. Additional information

Section 708AA Corporations Act

The Company is a disclosing entity and therefore subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act. Under those obligations, the Company is obliged to comply with all applicable continuous disclosure and reporting requirements in the Listing Rules.

This Offer Document is issued under Section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act . This section enables disclosing entities to issue an Offer Document in relation to securities in a class of securities which has been quoted by ASX at all times during the 12 months before the date of the Offer Document or options to acquire such securities. Apart from formal matters this Offer Document need only contain:

  • (a) information that is excluded information as at the date of the Offer Document pursuant to section 708AA (8) and (9); and

  • (b) that states:

  • (1) the potential effect the issue of the New Shares and New Options will have on the control of the Company; and

  • (2) the consequences of that effect.

Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

The New Shares will have from issue the same rights attaching to all existing Shares on issue. The rights attaching to ownership of the New Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company during business hours.

This Offer Document does not contain a summary of the principal rights and liabilities of holders of the New Shares.

Terms of the Underwriting Agreement

The Offer is fully underwritten by BBY Limited. BBY Limited does not currently hold any Shares. Accordingly, in the unlikely event that BBY Limited was required to subscribe for all of the New Shares which it has agreed to underwrite, upon completion of the Offer, BBY Limited would have an interest in 31,046,457 Shares, representing 28.5% of the Shares on issue in the Company after completion of the Offer.

The Company is however aware that the Underwriter intends to enter into sub-underwriting arrangements with other parties (including the agreement referred to below) and that CYC and a certain number of the directors intend to take up all or part of their entitlements, such that it is likely that the number of Shares that the Underwriter will be obliged to subscribe for will be lower.

Set out below is a summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

  • (a) The Underwriter will be paid by the Company an underwriting fee based on 4% of the Shares issued under the Offer and a management fee of 2% of the Shares issued under the Offer.

  • (b) The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter in respect of losses arising out of the Offer, this Offer Document, the Offer and a termination event.

Sub Underwriting Agreement

Mr Zillman, a director of the Company, proposes to take up his Entitlement to the extent of 100,000 New Shares under the Offer.

Norman Joseph Zillman as trustee for the Bannerblock Superannuation Fund, an entity associated with Mr Zillman, has entered a sub-underwriting agreement with BBY Limited ( Underwriter ) on 24 August 2009 to participate as a partial sub-underwriter.

Set out below is a summary of the material terms of the Sub-Underwriting Agreement.

  • (a) Bannerblock Superannuation Fund, has agreed to sub-underwrite a maximum of 1.6 million New Shares, representing a maximum sub-underwritten amount of $240,000.

  • (b) No sub underwriting fee shall be payable by the Company or the Underwriter to Bannerblock Superannuation Fund for the provision of the sub-underwriting arrangements.

  • (c) The Sub Underwriting agreement is subject to the final Shortfall, scale back and final allocation, which will be determined by the Underwriter.

  • (d) Bannerblock Superannuation Fund has no right to unilaterally terminate the SubUnderwriting Agreement. The Sub Underwriting Agreement will terminate if the Offer does not proceed or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated.

  • (e) Any Valid Applications submitted with respect to any Entitlement of Mr Norman Zillman will not relieve the obligation of the Bannerblock Superannuation Fund to subscribe for New Shares in accordance with the above formula.

If the maximum number of New Shares under the sub-underwriting commitment are undertaken by the Bannerblock Superannuation Fund, then together with the New Shares subscribed for by Mr Zillman, the total New Shares subscribed for represents 54% of Mr Zillman’s full Entitlement.

Limitation on foreign ownership

The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act ( the FATA ) places limitations on the rights of nonAustralian residents to hold or vote the shares of an Australian company. The FATA regulates acquisitions giving rise to ownership of substantial amounts of a company's shares. The FATA prohibits:

  • (a) any natural person not ordinarily resident in Australia; or

  • (b) any corporation in which either a natural person not ordinarily resident in Australia or a foreign corporation (as defined in the FATA) holds a substantial interest (defined below); or

  • (c) two or more such persons or corporations which hold an aggregate substantial interest (defined below),

from entering into an agreement to acquire shares if after the acquisition such person or corporation would hold a substantial interest in a corporation, without first applying in the prescribed form for approval thereof by the Australian Treasurer and receiving such approval or receiving no response in the 40 days after such application was made.

CYU Rights Issue

Page 20 of 25

A holder will be deemed to hold a substantial interest in a corporation if the holder alone or together with any associates (as defined in the FATA) is in a position to control not less than 15 percent of the voting power in the corporation or holds interests in not less than 15% of the issued shares in that corporation. Two or more holders hold an aggregate substantial interest in a corporation if they, together with any associates (as so defined), are in a position to control not less than 40% of the voting power in that corporation or hold not less than 40 % of the issued shares in that corporation.

The Constitution of the Company contains no limitations on a non-resident's right to hold or vote the Company's Shares.
