Important Notice

This Prospectus is dated 3 November 2011.

$\mathbf{r}^{\prime}$

A copy of this Prospectus was lodged with the ASIC on 3 November 2011. Neither the ASIC nor ASX take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.

No Shares will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than thirteen (13) months after the date of this Prospectus. An application will be made for permission for the Shares offered by this Prospectus to be admitted to Quotation.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation. 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.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Prospectus. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations used are set out in Section 8 of this Prospectus.

In preparing this Prospectus, regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and that certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and their professional advisers. This Prospectus is issued pursuant to section 713 of the Corporations Act. Section 713 allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of continuously quoted securities. This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering.

Applicants should read this document in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult with their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for Shares. There are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The Shares offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the Shares. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Shareholders should consider whether or not the Shares are a suitable investment having regard to their personal circumstances. Investors are directed to the summary of specific risks and Section 2.18 which sets out certain risks associated with making an investment in the Company.

No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation in relation to the Offer which is not contained in this Prospectus and any such information may not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Directors.

A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the Company's website at www.a1minerals.com.au. The offer constituted by an electronic version of this Prospectus is only available to persons receiving an electronic version of this Prospectus within Australia. There is no facility for Applications to be accepted electronically or by applying online. The Corporations Act prohibits any person from passing on to another person the Application Form unless it is attached to or accompanied by a complete and unaltered version of the Prospectus. The Company will not accept a completed Application Form if it has reason to believe that the Applicant has not received a complete and unaltered copy of the Prospectus. Any person may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus by contacting the Company prior to the Closing Date.

One of the purposes of this Prospectus is to issue Shares under the Share Purchase Plan. Ordinarily, a listed company undertakes a share purchase plan in accordance with ASIC Class Order CO 09/425. This Class Order allows a share purchase plan to be conducted without the use of a prospectus.

Due to the fact that the Company has previously been suspended from trading on the ASX for more than five days in the previous 12 months, the Company is unable to rely on the relief granted by the Class Order and, hence, is using this Prospectus to undertake the Share Purchase Plan.

RISK FACTORS

Specific risks that investors should consider include (but are not limited to) the following:

$(a)$ Losses in the past

The Company has incurred losses in the past and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the Company's future prospects based on past performance. The Company expects to make losses in the foreseeable future. Factors that will determine the Company's future profitability are its ability to manage its costs, its ability to execute its development and growth strategies and the actions of competitors and regulatory developments. As a result, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve sustainable profitability, is uncertain. In addition, the level of any such future profitability (or loss) cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from period to period.

$(b)$ No guarantee that the Company will be successful

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully commercialise its products or find viable markets to sell its products to customers to achieve a commercial return. There can be no assurance that the Company's development activity, will result in a viable business. Even if an apparently viable business is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

$(c)$ Production Costs

The Company has experienced high costs of production at its Brightstar gold operations and this has impacted upon the profitability of the Company. There is significant risk that the Company will not be able to economically produce minerals from its properties and prospective investors should be aware that if economic production costs can not be attained gold production may be affected or may not occur at all and as such the value of the Company will be affected.

$(d)$ Further Funding

The Company may require further funding in the future and there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance and, if via equity funding, will dilute existing Shareholders.

$(e)$ Sector Risks

Potential investors should understand that investment in the mining and exploration industry is a high-risk undertaking. The Company is also exposed to a number of other business risks which include higher than anticipated operating costs, an increase in competition or loss or damage to the Company's assets, which may have a material adverse effect on the business and financial position of the Company.

It should be noted by investors that the mining and exploration industry provides inherent risk and carries no guarantee as to any return on investment and investor may lose some or all of their investment.

$(f)$ Competition Risk

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. The introduction of new competitors or a more aggressive competitive response from existing participants may affect the operating performance of the Company. Whilst the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.

$(q)$ Dilution

The Company has 200,668,425 Shares on issue. The issue of the Shares under this Prospectus will have a dilutionary effect on a Shareholder's interest in the Company. Shareholders are referred to section 4 for further details of the effect of the issue on the Company.

$(h)$ Native Title

It is possible that a form of native title reflecting the entitlement of indigenous inhabitants to traditional lands may exist on the tenements held by the Company. In such cases exploration and/or mining restrictions may be imposed on the Company or claims for compensation may be made in the future. There is no way for the Director to quantify what the likely affect of any future native title claims may be but the Directors will deal with these issue by the use of appropriate experts as they see fit.

$(i)$ Exploration and Resource Estimates

The Company has recently conducted reviews of its geological information and these results have been announced to the market and published on the ASX website. This information will be used to formulate its exploration and development strategy.

It is important to note that any resource estimate is an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove inaccurate. As further information becomes available estimates may change and this may result in changes to development plans which in turn may adversely affect the Company's operations.

General risks that investors should consider include (but are not limited to) the following:

$(i)$ Development Risks

Potential investors should understand there can be no assurance that the Company's development activity, will result in a viable business. Even if an apparently viable business is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

$(k)$ Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company will be subject to relevant laws and regulations concerning the environment in Australia. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all relevant environmental laws. Nevertheless, there are certain risks inherent in the Company's activities which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

$(1)$ Access to Land

٠.

Significant delays may be experienced gaining access to privately owned freehold, communal, state or leasehold land. Delays may be caused by weather, deference to other right holder activities such as exploration or mining, cropping, harvesting, mustering, and other similar activities.

$(m)$ Cultural Heritage

Delays in exploration or production may be experienced if evidence of cultural heritage exists on any land to which the Company requires access. When accessing land it may be an offence to disturb evidence of human occupation of significance without statutory permission. This restriction affects both the exploration and mining activities of the Company.

The Company has not undertaken the comprehensive research, investigations or enquiries which would be necessary to enable it to form an opinion with certainty as to whether such evidence exist on the assets of the Company.

$(n)$ Commodity Prices

Commodity prices may be influenced by demand for those commodities as well as international factors including inflation, geo-political events, exchange rates, interest rates and other economic factors. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence the timing, viability and management of projects in which the Company has an interest.

$(0)$ Counterparty Risk

The Company has entered into a number of agreements with third parties. There is a risk that the counterparties may not meet their obligations under those agreements. Commercial consequences are likely to flow from any non-observance of commercial obligations.

Government Policies and Legislation $(p)$

Revenue and expenditure of the Company may be affected by changes in international, federal, state or local government laws, regulations or policies, or in taxation legislation. Government legislation and policies are subject to review and change from time to time. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability.

$(q)$ Insurance Risks

The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

5

Insurance of all risks associated with the mining and exploration industry is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive. As such the directors of the Company will use their best business judgement as to whether or not to insure against certain risks.

General Economic Risks $(r)$

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

  • (a) general economic outlook:
  • (b) interest and inflation rates:
  • (c) currency fluctuations;
  • (d) international economic conditions:
  • (e) changes in investor sentiment:
  • (f) the demand for and supply or capital; and
  • (g) terrorism or other hostilities.

$(s)$ Force Majeure

The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

$(t)$ Litigation Risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute, if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation.

DETAILS OF THE OFFERS

Purpose of the Offers $2.1$

As announced to the ASX, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Stone Resources Ltd on 12 August 2011 (Subscription Agreement) under which the Company agreed, subject to a number of conditions precedent to:

  • issue Stone a convertible note with a face value of \$12 million, or such lesser amount of between \$10 million and \$12 million as agreed by the Company and Stone (Convertible Note). The Convertible Note is convertible at a conversion price of \$0.06 per Share (if converted more than 12 months after the date the Convertible Note is issued), or \$0.035 per Share (if converted within 12 months of the date the Convertible Note is issued:
  • issue Stone 89,730,000 Shares at \$0.025 each to raise \$2,243,250 (Placement Shares);
  • subject to the issue of the Convertible Note and the Placement Shares, conduct a share purchase plan providing Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares in the Company at an issue price of \$0.025 per Share, subject to a maximum overall cap of 100,000,000 Shares being issued to raise up to \$2,500,000 (SPP Shares); and
  • at Stone's election, issue Shares to Stone equal to the number of Shares offered under the SPP but not subscribed for by Shareholders by the closing date of the SPP, or to top up its Shareholding to 30.9% to the extent diluted by the SPP, up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares at an issue price of \$0.025 per Share (SPP Placement Shares).

The Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including that the Company prepares a prospectus (on terms acceptable to Stone, acting reasonably) so as to allow the Placement Shares (and, to the extent possible, any SPP Shares and Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Note) to be freely tradeable from the date of issue in accordance with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act. A summary of this section is provided further below.

The purpose of this Prospectus and the Offers is to satisfy the above condition precedent to the Subscription Agreement and so facilitate the Stone transaction. To this end, this Prospectus is offering (subject to the Conditions):

  • up to 100,000,000 Shares to Shareholders at an issue price of \$0.025 per Share under a Share Purchase Plan (SPP Offer); and
  • 1,000 Shares at an issue price of \$0.025 per Share to raise up to \$25 (Cleansing Offer).

The Cleansing Offer will remain open until after the Placement Shares have been issued (thereby cleansing those Shares for the purpose of Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act and allowing the Placement Shares to be freely tradable from the date of issue).

The Cleansing Offer may also remain open (at the Company's discretion) until such time as the Convertible Note is converted (should this occur shortly after the Convertible Note is issued), and any SPP Placement Shares are issued, in which case Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Note and SPP Placement Shares will also be cleansed for the purposes of Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act).

Further details of the Stone Transactions have been announced to the ASX and investors should carefully review the announcements made by the Company, including those listed further below in this Prospectus at section 3.

Generally, section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires a prospectus to be issued if securities are offered for sale within 12 months after their issue and the issue of those securities is without disclosure (e.g. via a prospectus) to investors under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.

Section 708A(11)(b) provides an exemption from this general requirement where:

  • the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on ASX:
  • a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:
  • on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued (Section 708A(11)(b)(i); or
  • before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued (section 708A(b)(ii); and
  • the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

$2.2$ Conditional Offers

The Offers under this Prospectus are conditional upon:

  • completion occurring under the Subscription Agreement, including the issue of the Placement Shares and the Convertible Note to Stone; and
  • repayment and release of the debts the Company owes to Watpac in accordance with the Watpac Forbearance Deed.

Completion of the Subscription Agreement and the Watpac Forbearance Deed is anticipated to occur by 4 November 2011.

If any of the Conditions are not satisfied as at the Closing Date of the SPP Offer, the Offers will not proceed and the Shares will not be allotted and all application monies received under this Prospectus will be refunded without interest.

$2.3$ The SPP Offer

The SPP Offer is being made to enable Eligible Shareholders to top-up their existing shareholding in the Company and participate in the future endeavours of the Company. The SPP Offer is a convenient and cost effective way for Eligible Shareholders to acquire Shares.

The SPP Offer under this Prospectus consists of an offer of up to 100,000,000 Shares to be issued to Eligible Shareholders at an issue price of \$0.025 per Share to raise up to \$2,500,000 before expenses of the offer.

The Shares to be issued pursuant to the SPP Offer will be of the same class and will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares in the Company. The rights attaching to the SPP Shares are further described in Section 6 of this Prospectus.

Fractional Shares will be rounded up. No brokerage, stamp duty or other costs are payable by Applicants in respect of an Application for Shares under this Prospectus.

The Directors reserve the right to reject any Application or to allocate any Applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for. A total of up to 100,000,000 Shares may be issued under the SPP Offer. Applications for Shares must be made on the SPP Application Form and received by the Company on or before the SPP Closing Date.

The SPP Offer will not be available to Related Parties of the Company.

$2.4$ Participation in the SPP Offer

If you elect to pay via BPAY, you must follow the instructions for BPAY set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number) and you will not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If paying by BPAY, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

$2.7$ Oversubscriptions

Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System ("CHESS") and Issuer Sponsorship $2.8$

The Company will not be issuing Share Certificates. The Company operates an electronic CHESS sub-register for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors but instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN), if broker sponsored, or Securityholder Reference Number (SRN), if issuer sponsored, and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Monthly statements will be provided to holders in circumstances in which there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

$2.9$ Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company's share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company's share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that the Company holds in relation to you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act 2001 and certain rules such as the ASTC Settlement Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

2.10 No Underwriting

The Offers are not underwritten.

$2.11$ Closing Dates

The Closing Date for the SPP Offer is 5.00pm WST on 15 November 2011. The Directors reserve the right to close the SPP Offer earlier or to extend the SPP Closing Date without notice.

The Closing Date for the Cleansing Offer will be determined by the Directors, in their absolute discretion.

$2.12$ Allotment

The SPP Shares will be allotted and issued as soon as practicable after the SPP Offer Closing Date.

Cleansing Offer Shares will be allotted and issued as soon as practicable after the SPP Offer Closing Date.

In accordance with section 722(1) of the Corporations Act, until the allotment and issue of the Shares, all application monies will be held in trust by the Company.

No Shares will be allotted and issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than thirteen (13) months after the date of this Prospectus.

If permission is not granted for the Quotation of the Shares within three (3) months after the date of this Prospectus (or such later date as approved by ASIC), then the Shares will either not be allotted or, if issued, will be cancelled and all application monies received under this Prospectus will be refunded without interest.

Use of Funds of the Cleansing Offer $2.14$

The funds raised from the Cleaning Offer will be applied towards the cost of the Cleansing Offer.

2.15 Use of Funds of the SPP Offer

The funds raised under the SPP Offer are to be used by the Company principally to retire debt and working capital. Please refer to the announcements made by the Company on ASX.

$2.16$ Overseas Offers

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which or to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

2.17 Enquiries

If you have any questions concerning the Offers, please contact Mr Albert Longo at A1 Minerals or contact your professional adviser.

2.18 Risk Factors

An investment in the Company carries certain risks that may impact on the future profitability of the Company and the value of the Company's securities. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. The Directors recommend that potential investors carefully consider this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus. Please refer to the risks set out at the beginning of this Prospectus.

The business activities of the Company are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the price at which the Shares will trade.

Please carefully review the risks set out at the beginning of this Prospectus before making a decision to invest as prospective investors should be aware that they may lose some or all of their investment.

2.19 Scale Back

The Company is seeking to raise \$2,500,000 under the SPP Offer. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to scale back applications to the extent and in the manner it sees fit.

The Company may scale back applications below the minimum application amount (being \$5,000). If the Company undertakes a scale back, you will receive the number of Shares determined by the Company in its absolute discretion which may be less than the parcel of Shares for which you have applied. In this case, the difference between the application moneys received and the number of Shares allocated to you multiplied by the issue price, may be refunded to you by direct credit (to your nominated account if recorded on the Company's share register) or cheque as soon as practicable without interest at the time of allotment.

$2.20$ Shortfall

In the event that less than 100,000,000 Shares are applied for pursuant to the SPP Offer, the shortfall may, subject to Stone's right to any SPP Shortfall under the Subscription Agreement, be placed at the discretion of the directors.

INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO INVESTORS

$3.1$ Continuously Quoted Prospectus

This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. This enables listed disclosing entities, such as the Company, to issue a prospectus for continuously quoted securities with modified disclosure requirements if they satisfy certain requirements.

The information contained in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offers and the information reasonably necessary to make an informed assessment of:

  • the effect of the Cleansing Offer and SPP Offer on the Company; and
  • the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares offered by this Prospectus.

The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to apply for Shares pursuant to the Cleansing Offer or SPP Offer.

Continuous Reporting and Disclosure Obligations $3.2$

RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

Terms of Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company's Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

General Meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or $(a)$ representative:
  • on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, $(b)$ attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
  • on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or $(c)$ representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

Dividend Rights

The Directors may from time to time declare and pay or credit a dividend in accordance with the Corporations Act. Subject to any special right as to dividends attaching to a share, all dividends will be declared and paid according to the proportion which the amount paid on the Share is to the total amount payable in respect of the Shares (but any amount paid during the period in respect of which a dividend is declared only entitles the Shareholder to an apportioned amount of that dividend as from the date of payment). The Directors may from time to time pay or credit to the Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. No dividends shall be payable except out of profits. A determination by the Directors as to the profits of the Company shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

The Directors may from time to time grant to Shareholders or any class of shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares in the $20$

Company on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit. The Directors may, at their discretion, resolve in respect of any dividend which it is proposed to pay or to declare on any Shares of the Company, that holders of such Shares may elect to forgo their right to the whole or part of the proposed dividend and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid to the extent and on the terms and conditions of the Constitution. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company such amounts as they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Winding-Up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority 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. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules

Future Increase in Capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

Variation of Rights

Under Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares. If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
