Cazaly Resources Limited
2.2 Terms and Conditions of Shares
The rights attaching to the New Shares and the Shares underlying the New Options are derived through a combination of statute, the Company’s constitution, common law, the Listing Rules and other applicable legislation. The following is a broad summary (though not an exhaustive or definitive statement) of the current rights that attach to Shares in the Company.
(a) Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, whether by their issue, the Constitution, the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, at a general meeting each Shareholder present in person or by proxy, company representative or attorney, is entitled to one vote on a show of hands. Upon a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, company representative or attorney, is entitled to one vote for each fully paid share that the Shareholder holds.
(b) General Meetings
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to be present, to vote and to speak at a general meeting of the Company. Further, each Shareholder is entitled to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the constitution of the Company, the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.

The Company may in general meeting declare a dividend which shall not exceed the amount recommended by Directors. The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the short to medium term.
(d) Transfer of Shares
Subject to the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the ASTC Settlement Rules and the Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable. Shares may only be transferred by a proper instrument in writing delivered to the Company, and the transferor is deemed to remain the holder of the Shares until the name of the transferee is entered into the Company’s register of members. The Company may decline to register a transfer where permitted by law, the Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules.
(e) Changes in Capital
Subject to the Corporations Act, the constitution of the Company and the Listing Rules, the Directors may consolidate, or divide the Shares, allot, issue or otherwise dispose of new Shares on such terms and conditions as they determine.
(f) Variation of Rights

Cazaly Resources Limited
SECTION 3 RISK FACTORS
3.1 Risks Associated with Investment
Prospective investors should be aware that the market price of the New Shares following official quotation may be influenced by many unpredictable factors and that subscribing for New Shares and New Options involves various risks. The value of the Company’s securities on the ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company.
The Company is in its early development stage. Any profitability in the future from the Company’s business will be dependent upon the successful development, production and marketing of gold, iron ore and/or other minerals from the Company’s projects.
The New Shares and New Options being offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative due to the present stage of development of the Company. This Prospectus carries no guarantee with respect to the return of capital or price at which the New Shares or Shares resulting from the exercise of the New Options will trade.
The factors detailed below should be considered by any potential investors; however, this is by no means an exhaustive list of the risks that may affect the Company.
3.2 Share Market
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 including but not limited to the following:
-
general economic outlook;
-
interest rates and inflation rates;
-
currency fluctuations;
-
mineral price fluctuations;
-
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
the demand for, and supply of, capital;
-
terrorism or other hostilities; and
-
other factors beyond the control of the Company.
3.3
Exploration Risk
The successful exploration and development of mineral properties is speculative. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially viable deposits. The mineral tenements of the Company are at various stages of exploration. There can be no assurance that exploration of tenements held or acquired by the Company 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 into a producing mine.
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.
14
Cazaly Resources Limited
3.4 Operating Risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify 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 and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
3.5 Commercialisation Risks
Even if the Company discovers commercial quantities of minerals, there is a risk the Company will not achieve a commercial return. The Company may not be able to transport the minerals at a reasonable cost or may not be able to sell the minerals to customers at a rate which would cover its operating and capital costs. The Company has to receive regulatory and environmental approval to convert its exploration permits into production concessions. There is a risk that these approvals may not be obtained.
3.6 Future Capital Needs
Further funding of projects may be required by the Company to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such 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. A failure to meet cash calls would result in default in joint venture obligations which, if not remedied, could result in forfeiture of permits or concessions.
3.7 Economic and Government Risks
The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the exploration and mining industries including, but not limited to, the following:
-
general economic conditions in Australia and its major trading partners;
-
changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;
-
the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the commodities (resources) sector;
-
movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates; and
-
natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia or overseas.
3.8 Compliance Risk
The Company has acquired an interest in various mining tenements. Title to these tenements is subject to the Company, as tenement holder, complying with the terms and conditions of each tenement, including the minimum annual expenditure commitments. There is a risk that if the Company does not comply with the terms and conditions of each tenement, it may lose its interest in the relevant tenement.
The Company has implemented appropriate policies and practices to mitigate the risk that the terms and conditions attaching to each of the tenements it has acquired an interest in are not complied with.
15
Cazaly Resources Limited
3.9 Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risk
As the Company’s potential earnings will be largely derived from the sale of mineral commodities, either in processed or concentrate forms, the Company’s future revenues and cash flows will be impacted by changes in the prices of these commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major metal producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates.
Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars while the Company’s cost base will be in Australian dollars. Consequently changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate will impact on the earnings of the Company. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

Cazaly Resources Limited
SECTION 5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
5.1 Nature of this 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 in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offer and the information reasonably necessary to make an informed assessment of:
-
the effect of the Offer on the Company; and
-
the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options 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 invest in the Options.
5.2 Continuous Reporting and Disclosure Obligations
The Company is listed on ASX and its Shares are quoted on ASX under the code “CAZ”.
The Company is a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations, which require it to disclose to ASX any information of which it is or becomes aware concerning the Company and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities of the Company.
Copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC.
The Company will provide a copy of all documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company under the provisions of the Listing Rules since the lodgement of the Company’s Annual Report on 30 September 2008 free of charge to any Shareholder who so requests prior to the Closing Date. A list of those documents for the period ended 30 September 2008 to the time of lodging this Prospectus is set out in Section 6.

5.3 Market Prices of Shares and Options
The highest and lowest recorded closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the three (3) month period immediately prior the date of this Prospectus were:

5.4
Litigation
In January 2007 Cazaly applied for E47/1791 - 1794 over land the subject of an agreement between the State and the Rhodes Ridge Joint Venture which was ratified by the Iron Ore (Rhodes Ridge) Agreement Authorisation Act 1972 (WA).
The Rhodes Ridge Joint Venture comprises Hamersley Resources Limited (“Hamersley” a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Limited), Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd and Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd.
Objections to each of the applications were lodged by Hamersley, primarily on the basis that the Rhodes Ridge Joint Venture holds rights of occupancy under the State Agreement in respect of the land the subject of the applications.
On 21 - 23 January 2009 a preliminary hearing was conducted before the Mining Warden in Perth to determine:
-
a) whether the Rhodes Ridge Joint Venturers hold valid rights of occupancy; and
-
b) if so, whether the rights of occupancy preclude the grant of the exploration licenses.
If Hamersley cannot establish valid and subsisting rights of occupancy over the land, the State Agreement is in effect an empty shell and Cazaly considers it is likely that the Warden will recommend to the Minister that he grant the exploration licenses to Cazaly.
The Warden also heard a challenge by Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd to the jurisdiction of the Warden to hear the applications and make a recommendation to the Minister.
The Warden reserved his decision in respect of both matters.
As announced on 17 June 2008, Cazaly has entered into an agreement with Fortescue Metals Group Limited (FMG) pursuant to which Cazaly will, subject to ministerial consent, transfer the exploration licences to FMG upon grant in consideration for an advance on future royalties by cash payment of between $20 - $100 million upon transfer and a royalty capped at $1.48 billion.
The Company is not involved in any other legal proceedings.
