By BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 4:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

4.5 Lead Manager and Underwriting

DJ Carmichael Pty Limited ( DJ Carmichael ) has been appointed as the Lead Manager and Underwriter. Refer to Section 8.4 of this Prospectus for summaries of these respective agreements and fees payable to DJ Carmichael.

In addition, the Board notes that new Director, Mr Davide Bosio is the Managing Director of DJ Carmichael, although Mr Bosio does not control DJ Carmichael.

4.6 Effect on control of the Company

The Offer will result in the issue of new Shares and is fully underwritten by the Underwriter. Shareholders should be aware that the extent to which Shares are issued under the Underwriting Agreement could result in the Underwriter acquiring a voting power in the Company. The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purpose of the Corporations Act.

The Underwriter’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below:

Notes:

  1. The above table assumes that fees payable by the Company to the Underwriter are paid in cash and not via the issue of Shares. In the event the Company issues Shares in satisfaction of fees payable to the Underwriter, then the voting power of the Underwriting would increase by a corresponding amount depending on the amount of the fees payable.

The number of shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer. However, Shareholders should note the following:

  • (a) the Offer is being extended and made available to jurisdictions covering approximately 96% of all Shareholders as at the date of this Prospectus;

  • (b) the Offer has been priced at a price that is attractive to all eligible Shareholders to participate in the Offer;

  • (c) the Underwriter has confirmed to the Company that it has entered into sub-underwriting agreements for all of its underwriting commitment under the Underwriting Agreement. Where any sub-underwriters fail to meet their sub-underwriting commitments, the Underwriter will be contractually obligated to subscribe for those Shares, however it is not reasonably anticipated that such numbers of sub-underwriters would fail to meet their sub-underwriting commitments such that it could impact on the control of the Company by virtue of the Underwriter acquiring an interest greater than 20%; and

  • (d) it is a term of the Underwriting Agreement that the Underwriter will ensure that no sub-underwriter will acquire a voting power in the Company greater than 20% as a result of sub-underwriting the Offer.

4.7 Dilution

In addition to the potential control impacts, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 50% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:

**Holder ** Holding as

Notes:

  1. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

4.8

Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.005, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

The placement of the Shortfall will be at the discretion of the Directors, in consultation with the Underwriter and subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

4.9

ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.

4.10

Issue of Shares

Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

Holding statements for Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

6.1

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.

6.2

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:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid 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 such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

6.3

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that 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.

15

2737-06/2038147_1

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

6.4

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.

6.5

Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

6.6 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 ASX Listing Rules.

6.7

Future increase in capital

The 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 ASX 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.

6.8

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.

16

2737-06/2038147_1

6.9 Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

17

2737-06/2038147_1

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company specific

(a) Potential for significant dilution

Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 284,368,446 currently on issue to 568,736,892. This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.

It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the prospectus being lodged of $0.025 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer.

(b) Option Agreement and Grant of Exploration Licence Applications

As announced by the Company on 4 October 2018, the Company has been granted an option to acquire the Golden Chimney project and the Karramindie Gold project exploration licence applications ( Option Agreement ).

The exercise of the option under the Option Agreement is first subject to the granting of the relevant tenements by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum.

Subject to the granting of the tenements, there is also no guarantee that the Company will exercise its option and this will be decided after the Company has undertaken due diligence during the 6 month option period. If the tenements are not granted or the Company does not exercise the option, the Company would not proceed with this acquisition.

18

2737-06/2038147_1

(c) Status of existing iron ore project

The Company’s existing Nelson Bay Iron Ore Project has been on ‘care and maintenance’ for the past few years, caused as a result of the project becoming uneconomic due to the drop in the price of iron ore from its historical high levels a few years ago. The continuation of this project in the future is dependent upon many factors which are outside of the control of the Company including the price of iron ore in the open market, the costs associated with the re-commencement of mining and shipping of ore from the project site and any potential requirements or policies of the prevailing State Government in Tasmania at the relevant time.

(d) Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment.

The Company may be unable to obtain and renew the approvals and licenses necessary for its operations, which would reduce its production, cash flow and profitability.

Mining companies must obtain and renew (among other things) numerous approvals licenses, operating permits and management plans that impose strict regulations on various environmental and safety matters in connection with ore mining. These include approvals and licenses issued by various agencies and regulatory bodies. The Company has experienced production delays, in the past, as a result of delays in obtaining operating permits. The approving rules are complex and may change over time, making its ability to comply with the applicable requirements more difficult or even impossible, thereby precluding continuing or future mining operations. Private individuals and the public have certain rights to comment upon, submit objections to, and otherwise engage in the approval process, including through court intervention. Accordingly, the approvals and licenses the Company need may not be issued, maintained or renewed, or may not be issued or renewed in a timely fashion, or may involve requirements that restrict its ability to conduct its mining operations. Additionally, these approvals, licenses and operating permits may be amended, or additional approvals, licenses and operating permits may be required imposing costly compliance conditions. An inability to conduct its mining operations pursuant to applicable approvals would reduce its production, cash flow, and profitability.

As set out in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, the current Tasmanian environmental permit is non-compliant and it is not practical to comply with current permit conditions relating to storage of potentially acid forming waste rock. In consultation and advice from Tasmanian government authorities, the Company is pursuing a new permit. The Tasmanian Environmental Protection Authority has also advised the Company to assess whether re-approval may necessitate a re-approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 . There are uncertainties with the process for re-approval.

As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development

19

2737-06/2038147_1

proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

In this regard, the regulatory bodies from time to time review the environmental bonds that are placed on tenements. The Directors are not in a position to state whether the outcome of such periodic reviews would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

(e) Iron Ore Production

The Company’s iron ore mining production and delivery is subject to conditions and events beyond its control, which could result in higher operating expenses and/or decreased production and sales.

The level of its production at these mines is subject to operating conditions and events beyond its control that could disrupt operations, affect production and the cost of mining and have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. Adverse operating conditions which could curtail or adversely impact its operations include:

  • (i) delays and difficulties in acquiring, maintaining or renewing operating permits, licenses or mining rights;

  • (ii) changes or variations in geologic conditions, such as the presence of faults, intrusions, changes in the thickness of the ore deposits and their quality, along with changes in the waste rock surrounding the ore body including changes in quantum of potentially acid forming (PAF) rock and changes in geotechnical conditions;

  • (iii) mining and processing equipment failures and unexpected maintenance problems;

  • (iv) limited availability of mining and processing equipment and parts from suppliers;

  • (v) interruptions due to transportation delays or disruptions in the transport chain, whether road, rail, port, infrastructure or ocean freight;

  • (vi) adverse weather and natural disasters, such as strong winds, heavy rains and flooding;

  • (vii) the unavailability of qualified labour;

  • (viii) shortages or delays in the availability of mining equipment;

  • (ix) strikes and other labour-related interruptions; and

  • (x) unexpected mine safety accidents.

7.3 Mining Industry specific

  • (a) Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks

The revenue the Company will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and

20

2737-06/2038147_1

exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for various commodities, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

Currently, the operations at the Company’s Nelson Bay River Project are suspended and on care and maintenance as a consequence of the general decrease in the price of iron ore over recent years from its previous highs. If the current iron ore prices continue and do not improve, this will have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to recommence operations. There is a risk that the iron ore prices may not improve and may further deteriorate.

(b)

Tenement applications and license renewal

The Company cannot guarantee additional applications for tenements made by the Company will ultimately be granted, in whole or in part. Further the Company cannot guarantee that renewals of valid tenements will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. The Company has yet to receive regulatory and environmental approval to convert its exploration licences into production concessions. There is a risk that these approvals may not be obtained.

(c)

Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(d)

Operating Risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment; mechanical failure or plant breakdown; unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs; adverse weather conditions; industrial and environmental accidents; industrial disputes; continued availability of port storage and ship loading facilities which may be impacted due to capacity constraints; and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

21

2737-06/2038147_1

(e) Ocean Freight Volatility

The Company’s net revenues are exposed to the prevailing ocean freight rates. Ocean freight rates fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company.

(f)

Exploration, development, mining and processing risks

The tenements of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that exploration and developments are high-risk undertakings.

There can be no assurance that exploration of these tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its tenements and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenements, a reduction in the base reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the tenements.

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(g) Failure to satisfy Expenditure Commitments

Interests in tenements are governed by the mining acts and regulations that are current in those States and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in its tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

22

2737-06/2038147_1

7.4 General risks

(a) Competition Risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although 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, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

(b) Rising energy and commodity costs

The Company has significant commodity (diesel) and energy (gas and electricity) requirements and it relies on being able to fulfil those requirements at a cost which does not negatively impact on its cash flows. A number of factors (particularly the strength of the US dollar) may lead to an increase in commodity and energy costs, which may materially adversely affect the earnings of the Company.

(c)

Economic

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 on its ability to fund those activities.

(d) Market conditions

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:

  • general economic outlook;

  • introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(e) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will

23

2737-06/2038147_1

dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(f)

Dividends

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

(g)

Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

(h)

Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

(i)

Government policy changes

Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation.

(j)

Regulatory Risks

The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory

24

2737-06/2038147_1

authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.

Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Company’s tenements.

(k) Insurance Risks

The Company intends to 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.

Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

7.5 Speculative investment

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

Therefore, the Shares 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 Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

25

2737-06/2038147_1

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

8.2

Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations.

8.4 Material contracts

The following are summaries of the significant terms of the material agreements which relate to the business of the Company.

8.4.1

Lead Manager Mandate

On 29 September 2018 the Company and DJ Carmichael Pty Limited entered into a mandate letter agreement ( Mandate ) pursuant to which DJ Carmichael Pty Limited is to provide corporate advisory services to the Company, including (amongst other services) to act as:

  • (a) Lead Manager to the Offer; and

  • (b) Underwriter to the Offer, subject to the formal Underwriting Agreement being executed, as detailed in Section 8.4.2 below.

Under the Mandate, the Company will pay to DJ Carmichael Pty Limited:

  • (a) a corporate advisory retainer of $5,000 per month (plus GST) for the period of the Mandate, being 12 months from execution of the Mandate;

  • (b) a fee of 6% (plus GST) of the gross amount raised and/or underwritten on any future equity capital raise during the period of the Mandate, which extends to the Offer as detailed at Section 8.4.2 below, which may be paid in cash or via the issue of Shares to DJ Carmichael Pty Limited (or its nominee), apart from GST which must be paid in cash;

  • (c) a fee of 1% (plus GST) of the gross amount raised and/or underwritten under any future equity capital raise, transaction and/or project financing activity during the period of the Mandate, in the event that DJ Carmichael Pty Limited relinquishes its right to act as a lead manager and subsequently acts and is named as co-manager.

In addition to the above fees, the Company will also reimburse DJ Carmichael Pty Limited for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (plus any applicable GST) directly related to the mandated role for expenses that are paid upfront by DJ Carmichael Pty Limited. These upfront expenses will attract a 10% levy charge. However, DJ Carmichael Pty Limited will require the Company’s consent prior to incurring any single expense greater than $2,000.

The Mandate contains indemnities, representations and warranties by the Company to DJ Carmichael Pty Limited otherwise the terms of the Mandate are considered standard for an agreement of this type.

8.4.2

Underwriting Agreement

By an agreement between the Underwriter and the Company ( Underwriting Agreement ), the Underwriter agreed to fully underwrite the Offer for 284,368,446 Shares, being all Shares to be issued under the Offer ( Underwritten Securities ).

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter an underwriting fee of 6% of the value of the Underwritten Securities.

28

2737-06/2038147_1

Prior to the lodgement of the Prospectus with the ASIC, the Underwriter confirmed that all of the conditions precedent to the Underwriting Agreement had been satisfied.

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter procures to use its best efforts to ensure that no sub-underwriter will acquire a voting power in the Company greater than 19.9% as a result of its sub-underwriting of the Offer.

The Company will also use its best endeavours to ensure that during the applicable moratorium period no current or proposed director of the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective associates will sell, dispose or transfer any securities in the Company held by them as at the date of the Prospectus without prior written consent of the Underwriter (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

The obligation of the Underwriter to underwrite the Offer is subject to certain events of termination. The Underwriter may terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement if:

  • (a) ( Indices fall ): the All Ordinaries Index as published by ASX is, at the close of trading on any Business Day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, at a level that is 10% or more below its respective level as at the close of trading on the Business Day prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement; or

  • (b) ( Share price ): the Shares quoted on the ASX and trading under the ticker “SHH” have a closing price at any time after the date of the Underwriting Agreement which is less than the issue price of the Shares being offered under this Prospectus, being $0.005, for two consecutive trading days; or

  • (c) ( Prospectus ): the Company does not lodge the Prospectus on 12 October 2018 or the Prospectus or the Offer is withdrawn by the Company; or

  • (d) ( Copies of Prospectus ): the Company fails to comply with its requirements to provide the requested number of copies of the Prospectus to the Underwriter and such failure is not remedied within 2 days; or

  • (e) ( No Official Quotation ): ASX notifies the Company or any other person that Official Quotation will not be or has not been granted for all the Shares to be issued under the Offer, within 3 Business Days after the closing date of the Offer or such other date as determined by the Underwriter or, having been granted, is subsequently withdrawn, withheld or qualified; or

  • (f) ( Supplementary prospectus ):

  • (i) the Underwriter, having elected not to exercise its right to terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement as a result of an occurrence as described in paragraph (q) below, forms the view on reasonable grounds that a supplementary or replacement prospectus should be lodged with ASIC for any of the reasons referred to in section 719 of the Corporations Act and the Company fails to lodge a supplementary or replacement prospectus in such form and content and within such time as the Underwriter may reasonably require; or

29

2737-06/2038147_1

  • (ii) the Company lodges a supplementary or replacement prospectus without the prior written agreement of the Underwriter, which must not be unreasonably withheld; or

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $200,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (ie non-cash performance incentives such as options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors:

8.9 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 6150 7565 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.shreeminerals.com .

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

8.10 Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

8.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, 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. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank

37

2737-06/2038147_1

account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

8.12 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 holder of equity securities in the Company, 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 we hold about 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 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating 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.
