3. Summary of the Acquisition

3.1 Introduction

The Company announced on 5 October 2010 that it entered into a binding term sheet agreement to acquire the interest in 5 tenements in North Eastern Burkina Faso, West Africa. Since this date the parties have agreed that due to title concerns one of the 5 tenements the subject of the term sheet agreement would be replaced by 4 further tenements. The gold projects therefore consist of 8 tenements ( Gold Projects ). The acquisition of the Gold Projects will occur by purchasing Askia Gold (the Acquisition ) from the Askia Gold Vendors. Askia Gold, via Askia Gold Sarl, a wholly owned Burkina Faso subsidiary company owns or has the rights to the Gold Projects.

Mourdeni and Intiedougou Projects

The Mourdeni Permit of 249 km2 is situated to the south of the existing Eastern Permit project, in eastern Burkina Faso. The permit lies on the eastern flank of the Fada n’Gourma greenstone belt which extends to the north east into Niger and hosts the multi-million ounce Samira deposit. Reconnaissance mapping carried out on the permit area has identified several areas of artisanal gold mining activity.

The Intiedougou Project consists of three Permits with a total area of 469 km2 situated within the Hounde Greenstone Belt, to the east of Ouagadougou. The Hounde Belt hosts a number of significant gold deposits including the Dossi and Bondi gold deposits, in proximity to the north and south respectively and the producing Mana gold mine located 70 kilometres to the north of the project area.

The area has been explored previously by Orezone Resources under several permits which have subsequently expired or been relinquished. Orezone completed several drilling programs intersecting significant gold mineralisation at the Peksou Prospect within the central, Intiedougou Permit area. Within the northern (Baniri) and southern (Mougue) permit areas, Orezone conducted limited surface exploration. Artisanal gold workings have been noted on both permits.

The Intiedougou Project permits represent a highly prospective gold exploration target within a greenstone belt known to contain significant gold deposits.

Eastern Permits Project

7

The Eastern Permits Project is located approximately 250km east of Ouagadougou and consists of 4 permits giving a holding of approximately 854 km2 in size. The Eastern Permits Project is in early stage green-fields Birimian gold project that is associated with a series of porphyry dykes and related potassic alteration stages and is interpreted to lie within the south west continuation of the Samira Hills Greenstone belt known as the “Samira Horizon”. Currently operated by Semafo Inc., the 3 million ounce Samira Hills gold mine is Niger’s largest gold deposit.

3.2 Details of the Acquisition Agreement

The parties are in the process of executing a legally binding agreement with the Askia Gold Vendors for the acquisition of a 100% interest in Askia Gold ( Acquisition Agreement ).

(a) Consideration

In addition to a non-refundable deposit of $60,000, the securities that are to be issued as consideration for the Acquisition are:

  • (i) 100,000,000 Shares,

  • (ii) 50,000,000 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.15 on or before 31 July 2012.

8

Additionally, the Askia Gold Vendors have a contractual right to receive a milestone based cash payment on the satisfaction of certain performance milestones ( Milestone Payments ). The Company may elect to pay by the issue of Shares as set out below.

The Milestone Payments are performance based payments to the Askia Gold Vendors that will be payable on the achievement of certain project hurdles. The milestones are as follows:

  • (i) an ASX announcement by the Company that a competent person on behalf of the Company, Askia Gold or Askia Gold Sarl has identified an inferred mineral resource of at least 500,000 ounces of gold within the project permits of the Gold Projects, as that term is defined in the JORC Code ( Resource Milestone A ); and

  • (ii) an ASX announcement by the Company that a competent person on behalf of the Company, Askia Gold or Askia Gold Sarl has identified an inferred mineral resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold within the project permits of the Gold Projects, as that term is defined in the JORC Code ( Resource Milestone B ).

On the achievement of Resource Milestone A, the Askia Gold Vendors will be entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to the current market value of 10,000,000 Shares.

On the achievement of Resource Milestone B, the Askia Gold Vendors will be entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to the current market value of 20,000,000 Shares.

The current market value for the purposes of Resource Milestone A and Resource Milestone B is the 5 day volume weighted average price of the closing price of the Shares in the 5 trading days after satisfaction of the Milestone. The Resource Milestone A and Resource Milestone B will be deemed to have been achieved on a change in control event.

So long as the takeovers prohibition in the Corporations Act is not infringed, the Company may elect, at its complete discretion, to satisfy its obligation to pay the Milestone Payments through the issue of Shares (which shall be subject to any relevant Shareholder approval at that time). 10,000,000 Shares will be issued in respect of Resource Milestone A and 20,000,000 Shares will be issued in respect of Resource Milestone B.

The Company will issue an additional 5,000,000 Unlisted Options with an issue price of $0.001, exercisable at $0.15 on or before 31 July 2012 as an introductory fee to Colbern in relation to the Acquisition. This is the subject of Resolution 5.

The Askia Gold Vendors provide certain warranties as to Askia Gold, its Burkina Faso subsidiary and the underlying tenements. The maximum aggregate amount that the Company can recover from the Askia Gold Vendors in the event of a breach of warranty is $3,000,000.

9

The Askia Gold Vendors have warranted in favour of the Company that none of those parties will infringe the takeover's prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act by receiving the 100,000,000 Shares as vendors at completion.

The Company will lend the sum of up to $200,000 on an interest free basis to Askia pending completion to fund exploration and expenses upon the Gold Projects.

The ASX reserves the right to impose escrow upon the securities issued to Askia Gold Vendors.

(b) Conditions Precedent

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, completion of the Acquisition (including the issue of the various securities) is subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent including:

  • (i) Shareholder approval of the Acquisition and the issue of the securities to the Askia Gold Vendors;

  • (ii) due diligence; and

  • (iii) a capital raising to raise $1,300,000.

(c) Completion

If Shareholder approval is obtained (pursuant to the passing of Resolution 1) the completion of the Acquisition Agreement (and therefore the acquisition of Askia Gold) will occur as soon as possible following the Meeting.

(d) Post Completion Obligations

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement the Company has provided various warranties for 12 months from completion of the transaction including that it will not allot or issue or agree to allot or issue any equity security except on exercise of any existing options and except placing securities under the 15% rule in Listing Rule 7.1 with the consent of the Askia Gold Vendors.

3.3 Placement

The Company further announced on 5 October 2010 it will raise up to $1.3 million (before costs) to selected sophisticated investors through the placement of 65,000,000 million Shares each at an issue price of $0.02 ( Placement ).

The Placement comprises two tranches:

  • (a) 15,000,000 Shares were issued on 12 October 2010 to sophisticated investors who are not related parties each at an issue price of $0.02. These Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is seeking approval to ratify the issue of these Shares in Resolution 4; and

10

  • (b) 50,000,000 Shares to be issued to sophisticated investors who are not related parties each at an issue price of $0.02. The issue of these Shares is subject to Shareholder approval in Resolution 5.

Funds used from the Placement will be used to fund the development of the Gold Projects.

3.4 Effect of the Acquisition and Placement on the Company

The following table shows the Company's current capital structure (including the 15,000,000 Shares issued on 12 October 2010) and the possible capital structure after the completion of the Acquisition and the Placement.

Shares Unlisted Options
Current Securities on issue 117,749,862 -
(1)Securities to be issued to 100,000,000 55,000,000(2)
the Askia Gold Vendors
Placement 50,000,000(3) -
Total 267,748,796 55,000,000
  • (1) The securities to be issued to each of the Askia Gold Vendors is intended to be as follows – Kingslane Pty Ltd 36,000,000 Shares and 20,000,000 Unlisted Options, Precambrian Pty Ltd 18,000,000 Shares and 10,000,000 Unlisted Options, The Purple Bougainvillea Pty Ltd 18,000,000 Convertible Securities and 10,000,000 Unlisted Options, Morou Francois Ouedraogo 18,000,000 Shares and 10,000,000 Consideration Options and a further 10,000,000 Shares to be distributed at the direction of the Askia Gold Vendors.

In the event that the Resource Milestone A and Resource Milestone B are achieved, the Company may elect (at its sole discretion) to issue an additional 30,000,000 Shares in lieu of making the Milestone Payments.

A Proforma Balance Sheet is set out in Schedule 2 which shows the effect of the Acquisition on the balance sheet of the Company.

3.5

Key Risks of the Acquisition

The Acquisition will provide the Company with an opportunity to expand its interests beyond the Latrobe Oil Project in Tasmania to include the Gold Projects which are located in Burkina Faso, West Africa. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed companies, some of the more material risks associated with seeking to develop the Gold Projects are:

  • (a) Exploration, evaluation and development – by its nature, exploration and development of a resource project is a high risk undertaking with no assurance of the economic exploitation of mineral resources.

11

  • (b) Resources estimation – resource estimations are expressions of judgment which are imprecise.

  • (c) Gold price and exchange rate volatility – an adverse movement in the price of gold or relevant exchange rates may adversely affect the development of the Gold Projects.

  • (d) Future capital needs – there is no assurance that future funding will be available to the Company to further develop the Gold Projects.

  • (e) Political and sovereign risk – In addition to Australia, the Company's operations will be based in Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso is a semi-presidential republic. Burkina Faso has a high sovereign risk where uncertainties may arise due to political instability, corruption, civil strife, poor infrastructure and inconsistent application of law.

  • (f) Other factors – there are other risk factors including environmental laws and regulations, reliance on key personnel and title.

3.6 Latrobe Oil Project - Tasmania

Exploration Licence EL20/2004 secures known Tasmanite oil shale occurrences of the Latrobe – Railton district over an area of 61 square kilometres located between Latrobe and Railton in northern Tasmania, 10 kilometres south west of the port of Devonport in Tasmania. EL 20/2004 is valid until 26 November 2011 with no reduction of area required.

The Tasmanite oil shale deposit is different from other Australian oil shales and is a variety unique to Tasmania. Tasmanite oil shale has the advantage over other Australian oil shales in that it can be used as a source of bitumen as well as oil.

The shale is also unique among world oil shales in that its kerogen arises principally from its content of fossil oil spores. Tasmanite has a further advantage over other oil shales in that the spores containing the oil may be physically separated from the waste material.

The Tasmanite Oil Shale horizon within EL 20/2004 has already produced 1.13 million litres of oil from mining operations.

The Company is continuing its programs to identify and examine technologies for the treatment of the oil shale extracted from its Latrobe oil shale project.

3.7 Director's recommendation

The Directors consider that the Acquisition and the Placement is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions.

3.8 Geological Information – Competent Person Statement

The information in this Explanatory Memorandum that relates to Exploration Results, is based on information compiled by Mr Kevin Shugg, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Kevin Shugg is a consultant to the Company.

4.2 Listing Rule 11.1 Requirements

Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules requires Shareholders to approve any significant change in the nature or scale of a company's activities. The completion of the Acquisition by the Company will have the effect of increasing the scale of the Company's activities.

16
