EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on 26 September 2014 at The Business Centre, Level 1, Suite 5, 55 Salvado Road, Subiaco, Western Australia.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. BACKGROUND

As announced to ASX on 30 July 2014 (“ Announcement” ), the Company has entered into an agreement giving it the option to acquire the rights to two highly prospective Gold (Au) –Silver (Ag) - Copper (Cu) projects (Little Butte Project and Red Hills Project) in Arizona and Nevada, USA. Carnavale has entered into an option agreement (“ Tojo Implementation Agreement ”) with Tojo whereby Carnavale can acquire all of the issued shares in Tojo within a 7 month period. Carnavale believes the US is highly prospective for gold and base metals and that there are a number of opportunities such as those acquired by Tojo.

Transaction Details

The key terms of the Tojo Implementation Agreement are as follows:

  • The issue of 10.5M Shares to Tojo shareholders as a fee for the grant of an option (“Tojo Option”), which, if exercised, gives Carnavale the right to acquire 100% of the share capital of Tojo on or before 28 February 2015. The 10.5M Shares are subject to voluntary escrow for a 6 month period.

  • Carnavale is required to spend US$500,000 direct project expenditure on the two US projects by 28 February 2015 before any withdrawal.

If Carnavale exercises the Tojo Option, it is required to issue the following securities to Tojo shareholders as consideration for the acquisition of 100% of Tojo’s share capital:

  • a) 21M Shares ;

  • b) 21M A Class Convertible Performance Shares which will have the right to convert to 21M Shares upon the successful completion of a JORC Code compliant indicated mineral resource of not less than 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent at greater than or equal to 0.8g/tonne gold or gold equivalent in respect of the Little Butte Project or if a decision to mine is made based on a preliminary feasibility study on the Little Butte Project within 3 years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares; and

  • c) 21M B Class Convertible Performance Shares which will have the right to convert to 21M Shares upon the successful completion of a JORC Code compliant indicated mineral resource of not less than 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent at greater than or equal to 0.8g/tonne gold or gold equivalent in respect of the Red Hills Project or if a decision to mine is made based on a preliminary feasibility study on the Red Hills Project within 4 years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares.

6

The Performance shares will be subject to other terms and conditions that are customary for such shares, including conversion to Shares on a change in control of the Company.

Further information in relation to Tojo and its mineral projects and the mining industry generally in the USA is presented in Schedule 3 to the Explanatory Statement.

In the Announcement the Company also disclosed that it had received commitments for subscription to 34.66 million Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per Share to raise $520,000, together with 34.66 million free attaching Options (exercisable at $0.03 on or before 30 November 2016) on the basis of 1 Option for every 1 Share issued.( Capital Raising ).

The Capital Raising comprised three tranches:

  • 28,663,202 Shares were issued on 4 August 2014 pursuant to Carnavale’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( Tranche 1 );

  • 28,663,202 free attaching Options to be issued to the participants of the Tranche 1 placement, subject to Shareholder approval, which is being sought at this Meeting under Resolution 3 ( Tranche 2); and

  • 5,996,800 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 (and 5,996,800 free attaching Options) to be issued to Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith, subject to Shareholder approval, which is being sought at this Meeting under Resolutions 4 and 5 ( Tranche 3 ).

Tranche 1 was issued on 4 August 2014 pursuant to the Company’s combined placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 1 and 2 for the ratification of the issue of these Shares. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 3 for Tranche 2, being the issue of 28,663,202 free attaching Options to be issued to the participants of the Tranche 1 placement.

In addition, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for:

  • (i) Participation in the Capital Raising by two of the existing Directors, Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith (refer to Resolutions 4 and 5);

  • (ii) the ratification of the issue of 9,780,000 Shares as an option fee to the non-related Tojo shareholders for nil cash consideration (refer to Resolution 6);

  • (iii) the issue of 720,000 Shares to Vienna Holdings Pty Ltd (“Vienna”), a related entity controlled by Ron Gajewski, a director of the Company. Vienna is a shareholder in Tojo and 720,000 Shares represents Vienna’s share of the Tojo Option fee comprising 10.5M Shares (refer to Resolution 7). As noted earlier, the total fee for the Tojo Option is 10.5M Shares of which 720,000 Shares is for Vienna. As prior Shareholder approval is required for issue of Shares to directors and their related entities, the Company was able to complete the issue of only 9,780,000 Shares forming part of the Tojo Option fee; and

  • (iv) the issue of 21,000,000 Shares, 21,000,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 21,000,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Tojo shareholders in the event the Company elects to exercise the Tojo Option on or before 28 February 2015 (refer to Resolution 8).

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 12,997,906 Shares issued without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.2 Resolution 2

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A those securities will from that date be included in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.2 for the purpose of calculating the annual placement capacity of the Company under both ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

3. RESOLUTION 3 – PLACEMENT ISSUE OF OPTIONS

On 30 July 2014, the Company announced it had resolved to raise up to $430,000 through a private placement of Shares and free attaching Options, primarily to professional and sophisticated investor clients of Otsana Capital and Hartleys Limited. Carnavale announced it proposed to issue up to 28,663,202 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per share, each with a free attaching Option.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 28,663,202 Options to the participants in the share placement as per Resolutions 1 and 2. The placement issue of Shares was completed previously under the Company’s discretionary placement capacity, which has now been fully utilised and hence prior approval is required for the completion of issue of the free attaching Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue these Options without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. This will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% threshold without the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval.

3.1 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Options contemplated by Resolution 3:

  • (d) the allottees will be sophisticated and professional investors who are exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and who participated in the share placement pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2. None of the subscribers will be a related party;

  • (e) the Options issued will be on the same terms and conditions as the existing (unlisted) Options. Refer to Schedule 1 for terms and conditions; and

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SECURITIES TO DIRECTORS, R GAJEWSKI AND A BECKWITH OR THEIR NOMINEES

Resolutions 4 and 5 are seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 5,996,800 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 each, together with one free attaching Option for every Share subscribed for and issued, to raise up to $89,952.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 3,330,000 Shares and 3,330,000 Options to Mr Gajewski (or his nominee) arising from participation by Mr Gajewski in the Capital Raising.

Mr Gajewski’s and Mr Beckwith’s participation in the Capital Raising will be on the same terms and conditions as the other participants.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Company announced on 30 July 2014 that two of the existing Directors, Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith, had expressed their intention to participate in a Capital Raising by subscribing for up to 5,996,800 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 each, together with one free attaching Option for every Share subscribed for and issued. Each of these persons is a related party within the terms of the ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – Related Party Transactions

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors’ participation in the Capital Raising will result in the issue of Shares and Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The terms and conditions upon which the related parties the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 will subscribe for the Capital Raising Securities will be the same terms and conditions under which other investors have subscribed for Securities under the Capital Raising under Resolutions 1 and 2 (being $0.015 per

10

Share, together with one free attaching Option for every Share subscribed for and issued). On this basis, the Directors (other than Mr Gajewski with respect to Resolution 4 and Mr Beckwith with respect to Resolution 5, who have material personal interests in the Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively) consider that the participation of the related parties could be seen to be on reasonable arms length terms (and thereby an exception to Chapter 2E) and accordingly, the Company will not also seek approval for the issue of Shares and Options to Mr Gajewski and Mr Beckwith pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

  • Their subscription will be on the same terms and conditions as other subscribers to the Capital Raising, the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2.

  • (c) The Shares and Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Securities will occur on the same date;

6. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES RE THE TOJO OPTION

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue 720,000 Shares to Vienna Holdings Pty Ltd (an entity controlled by Carnavale director, Ron Gajewski) as a related party Tojo shareholder pursuant to the terms of the Tojo Implementation Agreement.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. Mr Gajewski, an existing Director, is a related party within the terms of the ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

6.1 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Shares to be issued:

  • (c) The Shares will be issued immediately after and in any case no later than one month after the Meeting date;

  • (d) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (e) there will be no funds raised by the issue of the Shares to Vienna. The Shares are part of the fee payable by the Company for the acquisition of the Tojo Option.

7. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES FOR THE TOJO ACQUISITION

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue Shares and Performance Shares to Tojo shareholders in the event that the Company elects to exercise the Tojo Option on or before 28 February 2015 to acquire 100% of Tojo’s share capital. As noted previously, a total of 21,000,000 Shares, 21,000,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 21,000,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares would be required to be issued on exercise of the Tojo Option. The Shares and Performance Shares would be required to be issued to related and non-related entities as follows:

  • (a) 1,440,000 Shares, 1,440,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 1,440,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to related entity, Vienna;

  • (b) 3,917,726 Shares, 3,917,726 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 3,917,726 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Carnavale director, Andrew Beckwith (NB: Andrew Beckwith was not a director of the Company when the Tojo Implementation Agreement was negotiated and executed, however his appointment as a Carnavale director was a term of this agreement);

  • (c) 1,145,454 Shares, 1,145,454 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 1,145,454 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Penand Pty Ltd, a related entity that is controlled by Andrew Beckwith;

  • (d) 600,000 Shares, 600,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 600,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Penelope Beckwith, Andrew Beckwith’s spouse; and

  • (e) 13,896,820 Shares, 13,896,820 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 13,896,820 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to non-related Tojo shareholders.

Consequently the future issue, if any, of the above securities requires approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 in the case of securities to related entities (“Related Entities”) referred to in (a), (b), (c) and (d) above and under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the case of securities to non-related entities (“Non-Related Entities”) referred to in (e) above.

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the securities during the period of 3 months after the date of the Meeting in the case of NonRelated Entities and within 1 month after the date of the Meeting in the case of Related Entities (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX).

ASX has granted a waiver to the Company which permits the Company to issue the Shares and Performance Shares the subject of this Resolution up to 31 March 2015 as Carnavale has up to 28 February 2015 to elect to exercise the Tojo Option.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rules 7.3 and 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.3 and 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to approval for Resolution 8:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued is:

  • (i) 21,000,000 Shares;

13

  • (ii) 21,000,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares which will have the right to convert to 21,000,000 Shares upon the successful completion of a JORC Code compliant indicated mineral resource of not less than 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent at greater than or equal to 0.8g/tonne gold or gold equivalent in respect of the Little Butte Project or if a decision to mine is made based on a preliminary feasibility study on the Little Butte Project within 3 years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares; and

  • (iii) 21,000,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares which will have the right to convert to 21,000,000 Shares upon the successful completion of a JORC Code compliant indicated mineral resource of not less than 500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent at greater than or equal to 0.8g/tonne gold or gold equivalent in respect of the Red Hills Project or if a decision to mine is made based on a preliminary feasibility study on the Red Hills Project within 4 years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares.;

  • (b) ASX Listing Rules ordinarily require securities to be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting in the case of Non-Related Entities and within 1 month after the date of the Meeting in the case of Related Entities. However, as the issue of these securities is dependent on the exercise or otherwise of the Tojo Option expiring on 28 February 2015, the Company has received a waiver of the Listing Rules from ASX so as to permit the issue of the securities no later than 31 March 2015. Issue of the securities, if any, is intended to occur on the same day;

  • (c) The securities (if the Tojo Option is exercised) will be issued for non-cash consideration being the acquisition of 100% of Tojo’s share capital;

  • (d) The allottees of the securities will be Tojo shareholders. None of the allottees will be related parties of the Company other than the following;

    • i. 1,440,000 Shares, 1,440,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 1,440,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to related entity, Vienna, an entity controlled by Ron Gajewski;

    • ii. 3,917,726 Shares, 3,917,726 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 3,917,726 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Andrew Beckwith;

    • iii. 1,145,454 Shares, 1,145,454 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 1,145,454 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Penand Pty Ltd, a related entity that is controlled by Andrew Beckwith; and

    • iv. 600,000 Shares, 600,000 A Class Convertible Performance Shares and 600,000 B Class Convertible Performance Shares to Penelope Beckwith, Andrew Beckwith’s spouse; and

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The A Class and B Class Convertible Performance Shares will be new classes of securities, which will have the right to convert to Shares upon satisfaction of specified performance criteria prior to specified expiry dates. Detailed terms and conditions for the Performance Shares are provided in Schedule 2.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

SCHEDULE 3 – TOJO ACQUISITION – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

About Tojo

Tojo is a private Australian exploration company established to acquire exploration and development resource projects, in highly prospective regions within stable mining friendly countries focussing initially on the USA and Australia. Tojo has identified and acquired the rights to explore highly prospective gold-silver-copper projects in the mining friendly states of Arizona and Nevada, USA. The USA ranks fourth in terms of 2013 world gold production with most of this production coming from large world class Au-Ag “Carlin” and Cu-Au “Porphyry” deposits dominantly located throughout Nevada and Arizona.

Little Butte Project

The Little Butte project is a gold-copper exploration project in which Tojo has the right to earn 100% (subject to third party royalty) and is located approximately 250km south - southeast of Las Vegas and 200km west of Phoenix. Tenure comprises mineral claims covering an area approximately 9km[2] . Project highlights are as follows:

  • Immediate “walk up” drill targets with the potential to rapidly define a near surface open pittable oxide gold-copper resource in the near term, associated with 2 parallel oxide gold-copper shear zone targets with over 1km strike length each.

  • Encouraging high grade shallow oxide gold results* in limited existing drilling includes:

  • 13.7m @ 11.33g/t including 4.5m @ 33.65g/t

  • 42.7m @ 2.04g/t including 18m @ 4.17g/t

  • 33.5m @ 2.95g/t including 22.8m @ 4.06g/t

  • Deeper Cu-Au sulphide “chargeability” target defined in geophysics beneath numerous small scale high grade historical surface Cu-Au workings.

The immediate programme comprises compilation of all existing data, including the more recent previous drilling, acquisition of additional geophysical data to aid deeper drill targeting and RC drilling to delineate the shallow oxide gold potential. RC drilling is currently planned to commence in September, subject to regulatory approvals.

Red Hills Project

The Red Hills project is highly prospective for large “multi-million ounce” Carlin style Au-Ag potential, and is located approximately 400km north of Las Vegas and comprises mineral claims covering an area approximately 10km[2] . Historical small scale underground mining previously undertaken in the early 1900’s has occurred within the project area.

Tojo has rights to earn up to a 75% interest in the project with the following highlights:

  • Located along an under-explored portion of the prolific +100Moz Carlin Trend.

  • Look-a-like and new proven mineralisation model based on recent Long Canyon (+2.5Moz) discovery acquired by Newmont for US$2.3B in 2012 via a takeover.

  • Encouraging Au and Ag results in rock chip sampling over at least 2km of prospective stratigraphy.

A programme of mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys are currently underway and are expected to be completed during August with results anticipated in September.

Competent Person’s Statements – Exploration Results

The information in this report that relates to the Tojo Projects was first reported by the Company in compliance with JORC 2012 in market releases dated 30 July 2014 and 31 July 2014. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the market announcements dated 30 July 2014 and 31 July 2014.

21

Carnavale presents a summary of the key risks that may impact on its proposed new investment in the United States of America (“USA”), as well as a summary of the fiscal regime and mining legislation that presently exists in USA. This is not meant to be an exhaustive commentary nor a complete analysis of these matters, but merely a summary to make Shareholders aware of key matters and enable them do their own further research into these matters if considered appropriate.

An investment in the Tojo projects poses the same technical risks that any mineral sector investment entails and these are summarised below. Commentary on risk factors applying specifically to USA must be however be considered in context. Any changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations of the Company. It should be noted that USA has a long history of mining. The country has considerable natural resources, in particular large gold, copper, cobalt, diamond and iron ore deposits.

Industry Risks

(a) Mining and exploration risks

The primary business of the Company is exploration for, and commercial development of, mineral ore bodies, which is subject to the risks inherent in these activities. Its operations are still in the exploration and evaluation phase. No assurance can be given that future exploration will be successful or that a commercial mining operation will eventuate.

(b) Commodity price risk

The Company's ability to benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. The world market for gold, copper and other minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. Commodities are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies and/or adverse movements in commodity prices could have a materially adverse effect on its operations, financial position and performance.

(c) Resources & reserves risk

Resources estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company's operations.

(d) Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company's success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and management and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the metals and mining industry and the Company's ability to retain its key executives.

(e) Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding

The Company's ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects (existing and future), the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.

22

(f) Competition

The Company competes with other companies, including major mineral exploration and mining companies. These companies will likely have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out downstream operations on these and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

USA Country Risks

(a) General economic factors

Changes in both the global and specifically USA economic climate may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors, which may contribute to that general economic climate, include movements in interest rates and currency exchange rates and the overall state of the equity/debt capital markets that the Company may rely on to fund current and future activity.

(b) Taxation and foreign investment rules

Any changes to the USA direct and indirect taxation rates and the flow of capital in and out of USA will impact on financial performance and cash flows, the ability to pay dividends and ultimately the price of Carnavale’s securities which could impact investor returns. Any changes to the current rates of income tax applying to individuals will similarly impact on investor returns. In addition, any change in tax arrangements between Australia, USA and other applicable jurisdictions could have an adverse impact on any future net profit after tax and net operating cash flows.

(c) Land access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. In all cases the acquisition of prospective tenements is a competitive business, in which propriety knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential.

(d) Environmental

USA exploration and mining activities are subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. As with all mineral projects, the Company's projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.

(e) Sovereign Risk

The Little Butte project is located in Arizona and the Red Hills project is located in Nevada. Arizona and Nevada currently have a stable and transparent regulatory system. However the Company cannot guarantee that a change in Government, legislation or policy will not affect its operations in Arizona and Nevada.

(f) Completion risk

Carnavale may not exercise the Tojo Option to acquire 100% of Tojo. Assuming Shareholder approval of the various resolutions put to the Meeting, the Board will exercise its professional judgement and take such expert advice as it considers appropriate in order to determine whether or not to exercise the Tojo Option after taking into consideration the results of exploration on the Tojo mineral projects over the coming months as well as all other matters considered relevant to such a decision.
