COMPANY OVERVIEW

SECTION 6
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Kunanalling PDAP Purchase
As released to the market on 10 December 2003, Cazaly has acquired from Placer Dome Asia Pacific Ltd ("Placer") the Kunanalling Gold Project and formed a strategic alliance with Placer. The Kunanalling project is located 30 kilometres north of Coolgardie in Western Australia and the acquisition of the project containing approximately 78,000 ounces in resources (non-iorc Compliant) further complements Cazaly's regional holdings.
The resources acquired include:
| • Catherwood: | 484,000t @ 2.16 g/t gold |
|---|---|
| • Premier: | 164,000t @ 1.99 g/t gold |
| Emu | 260,000t @ 2.46 g/t gold |
| Blue Bell | 118,000t @ 2.00 g/t gold |
Significantly, these resources exist on granted mining leases, which will enable Cazaly to expedite any development opportunities.
Promising drill results on the Project requiring follow-up include 7m @ 142 g/t from 24m, 7m @ 12.4 g/t from 11m, and 14m @ 3.02 g/t from 24m at the Emu Prospect and 17m @ 2.22 g/t from 13m and 10m @ 5.85 g/t from 80m at the Catherwood Prospect.
The Project covers an area of approximately 40 km2 and is contiguous to the west of Cazaly's current 90 km2 tenement holding. The regionally significant and under-explored Kunanalling Shear transects the tenement holding and is the focus for most gold mineralisation. Cazaly now has access to more than 20 kilometres of this highly prospective Shear, which contains numerous old pits and workings.
Two phases of historical production have been recorded from the Proiect area with 88,000t $\omega$ 24.4 g/t for 69,000 oz produced pre-1954 and 210,000t @ 3.02 g/t for 20,400 oz between 1987-1994.
As consideration for the Project, Cazaly has agreed to pay Placer \$57,000, with the first installment of \$25,000 paid today and the balance payable within 90 days.
Placer retains:
- a once-off right to claw-back a 70% interest within 60 days of being notified of the a) establishment of a 500,000 ounce resource on the Project by paying Cazaly 2.5 times the expenditure (including acquisition costs) incurred with the resource discovery. The buy-back relates only to the resource area;
- the right to explore for conceptual targets within a declared area of the Project at b) Placer's expense. Any resource discovery of 500,000 ounces or more would be deemed to be owned 70% by Placer and 30% by Cazaly, and if less than 500,000 ounces to be owned 100% by Cazaly;
SECTION 6
COMPANY OVERVIEW
- c) the option to acquire or process any ore produced from the Project or from tenements owned or acquired by Cazaly within 100 kilometres of Placer's Paddington mill, at best commercial rates; and
- d) a 2% Net Smelter Royalty on all gold produced from the Project, except where a pre-existing royalty exists.
For a six month period. Placer has the exclusive right to negotiate joint ventures with Cazaly over Cazaly's existing tenements. Upon Cazaly acquiring any additional tenements, Placer has an exclusive right for one month to negotiate a joint venture over these tenements.
The strategic alliance with Placer provides Cazaly with the opportunity to greatly expedite the development of any resource discoveries. If Placer elects not to acquire or process ore through the Paddington mill, Cazaly's Kunanalling Project still has strong infrastructure advantages.
The enlarged Project area is located within trucking distance of three other mills, the closest of which is approximately 15 kilometres away at the $+7$ million ounce Kundana mining centre. The all weather road from Coolgardie to Ora Banda runs through the centre of the Project with mills located at either end.
This Agreement continues the corporate philosophy of focusing on gold assets with near term cash flow potential while consolidation of projects to a regional scale allows for maximum leverage to exploration success.
EFFECT OF THE ENTITLEMENTS ISSUE ON THE COMPANY SECTION 7
Under the Offer, up to 10.383.333 New Options are available for issue and will be issued if the Offer is fully subscribed (either by Shareholders accepting the offer under this Prospectus or pursuant to the Directors' discretion to place any shortfall referred to in Section 4.9 of this Prospectus).
The Company has 3,500,000 February 2005 Options and 3,500,000 June 2005 Options on issue and upon completion of the Entitlements Issue, the issued capital of the Company will comprise 32,950,002 Shares, 10,383,333 New Options, 3,500,000 February 2005 options and 3,500,000 June 2005 Options.

Rights on Winding Up
Subject to the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding up (at present there are none), on a winding up of the Company all assets that may be legally distributed among members will be distributed in proportion to the number of fully paid shares held by them (and a partly paid share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid share equal to the amount paid on it, divided by the total issue price of the share).
Transfer of Shares
Subject to the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act 2001, and any other laws and SCH Business Rules and ASX Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable.
Future Increases in Capital
The allotment and issue of any Shares is under the control of the Directors. Subject to restrictions on the allotment of Shares to Directors or their associates, the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors may allot or otherwise dispose of Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.
Variation of Rights
Under the Corporations Act 2001, 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 the 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.
Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with special, preferential or qualified rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Directors determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among the Shareholders in proportion to the number of Shares held by them.
