Section 1 DETAILS OF THE OFFERS
$1.1$ Summary of the Status of the Company
On 29 June 2005 the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the rights to Tanami Gold NL's and Tanami Exploration NL's entire interest in any uranium minerals in their tenements in the Tanami-Arunta Province covering both the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The acquisition is subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained on 30 August 2005, and regulatory and third party consents. The consideration for the acquisition is 30,000,000 Shares, 15,000,000 of which are subject to escrow for 18 months, together with \$400,000. This acquisition will provide Deep Yellow with access to an extensive exploration package containing numerous prospective targets for uranium exploration and builds on the Company's existing commitment to exploration in the Northern Territory via its Napperby and Northeast Arunta Projects.
On 18 July 2005 the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement pursuant to which, following application by the Company for new exploration licences over the areas contained in A1 Mineral Ltd's applications for exploration licences in the Ponton region of Western Australia, A1 Minerals Ltd will withdraw its applications. The agreement is subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained on 30 August 2005, approval of the trustee of creditors of the Deep Yellow Creditors Trust and regulatory consents. The consideration for the acquisition is 3,000,000 Shares together with transfer of the Company's 50% interest in the Mikado Gold Joint Venture and settlement of the Priority Deed. The areas the subject of the exploration licence applications contain tertiary palaeochannels considered highly prospective for uranium and which connect the Mulga Rocks uranium deposit discovered to the north with the Paladin Ponton project to the south.
On 18 July 2005 the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Paladin Resources Ltd's 90% interest in the Siccus Joint Venture which relates to an exploration licence in the Frome Basin of South Australia and database on the Frome Basin.

As part of the consideration for Dr Pretorius joining the board, the board resolved to issue Dr Pretorius with 15,000,000 Executive Options. The issue was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on 30 August 2005. Dr Pretorius is a geochemist and brings to Deep Yellow 34 years experience and an intimate knowledge of the uranium industry in both Australia and Africa.
The resource definition drilling on its 100% owned Napperby Project (150km northwest of Alice Springs) has been completed and the rig demobilised from site. There were 569 holes drilled with each hole being about 10 metre (m) deep. In excess of 2,500 samples have been collected and submitted for chemical analysis. Radiometric logging of the holes has been carried out however disequilibrium factors will require chemical verification.
Following receipt of the assays, a new resource estimate for Napperby will be undertaken by independent geological consultants.

Section 3 RISK FACTORS
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 involves many risks which may be much higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. The Company is a mining exploration company and the risks are therefore very substantial. The securities offered by the Prospectus should be considered highly speculative. The securities offered by this Prospectus carry no guarantee whatsoever with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the securities. Intending subscribers should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to subscribe for securities. Investors should carefully consider these factors in light of personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek professional advice from an accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.
There are numerous widespread 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 noted below and elsewhere in this Prospectus which may materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.
Share Investment
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any share investment. The prices at which the Company's Shares trade may be above or below the issue price for the Shares under this Prospectus. The trading price of the Shares is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in the Company's activities and exploration results and the market for its commodities, particularly uranium . This is especially the case with companies involved in mineral exploration.
The securities allotted under this Prospectus carry no guarantee whatsoever in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Shares may trade on the ASX.
Economic Conditions
Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as currency fluctuation, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices, including gold and uranium prices, and share market prices. The Company's future possible revenue and share price can be affected by these factors all of which are beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. In addition, the Company's ability to raise additional capital, should it be required, may be affected.
Operational Risk
By its nature, the business of exploration, mineral development and production which the Directors intend the Company to undertake, contains risks. Prosperity depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient
processing facilities, competent operation and management and efficient financial management. For its part, exploration (particularly for uranium and gold) is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overrims for imforeseen events
Native Title
The Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth) may affect the Company's ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas or obtain production titles. Compensatory obligations may be necessary in settling native title claims lodged over the Company's tenements.
Environmental Risks
Exploration programmes impact on the environment. These impacts are minimised by the Company's application of best practice principles.
Government Policy
Industry profitability can be affected by changes in government policy relating to mineral exploration and production which are beyond the control of the Company.
Commodity Prices
The prices that the Company may obtain for mineral commodities may fluctuate due to market conditions.
No Profit to Date and Uncertainty of Future Profitability
The Company has incurred losses and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the future prospects based on past performance. The Directors anticipate making further losses in the foreseeable future.
Factors that will determine the Company's profitability are its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the level of such profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Investment Speculative
The 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 risk 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 securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the securities 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 securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for securities.

$4.4$ Rights Attaching to Shares
The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company. Full details of the rights attaching to the Company's Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company's registered office.
The following is a summary of the rights that attach to the Company's existing Shares:
Voting Rights: At a general meeting every ordinary shareholder present in person or by representative has one vote on a show of hands. On a poll, every ordinary shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney has one vote per share. Shareholders holding partly paid Shares have such number of votes on a poll equivalent to the proportion that the amount paid up thereon (excluding amounts credited) bears to the issue price of such share.
Dividend Rights: The Directors may authorise the payment by the Company to the shareholder of an interim dividend to be paid out of the profits of the Company provided that the Company in general meeting may only declare a dividend if the Directors have recommended a dividend. The dividend cannot exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.
Rights on Winding Up: If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders. Subject to any right or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares (at present there are none), at meetings of Shareholders. Upon a distribution of assets to Shareholders, holders of restricted securities at the time of commencement of the winding up shall rank behind the holders of all other share capital.
Transfer of Shares: Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, shares in the Company are freely tradeable. The Directors must decline to register any transfer where the Listing Rules require the Company to do so.
Issue of Further Shares: The allotment and issue of any additional shares is under the control of the Directors, subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
Variation of rights: Holders of Shares who exercise Shares will be issued with fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company. At present, the Company only has fully paid ordinary Shares on issue: it has not issued partly paid ordinary Shares or any other class of Shares. The rights and privileges attaching to ordinary Shares can be altered by special resolution of the Shareholders. A special resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than 75% of those present and voting. Where the necessary majority for a special resolution is not obtained at a meeting, consent in writing if obtained from the holders of three-fourths of the shares concerned within two months of the meeting shall be as valid and effectual as a special resolution carried at the meeting.
