Key Definitions

Throughout this Prospectus, for ease of reading, various words and phrases have been defined rather than used in full on each occasion and are set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus.

Section 1 DETAILS OF THE OFFERS

$1.1$ Details and Purpose of the Retail Offer

Pursuant to this Prospectus the Company invites investors, to subscribe for up to 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 40 cents per Share, to raise up to \$4,000,000 ("Retail Offer").

The funds raised under the Retail Offer will be used for potential acquisitions (and associated costs of such acquisitions) and meeting the costs of the Retail Offer.

$12$ Details and Purpose of the Institutional Offers

On 2 July 2007 the Company announced its intention to issue up to 65,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 40 cents per share to raise up to \$26,000,000. The shares will be issued in two tranches:

  • Tranche 1 34,705,000 Shares to be issued to sophisticated investors (as defined in the Corporations Act) pursuant to the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity ("Tranche 1 Institutional Offer"); and
  • Tranche 2: 30,295,000 Shares to be issued to sophisticated investors (as defined in the Corporations Act subject to a Shareholder approval at a general meeting of Shareholders to be held on or about 6 August 2007 ("General Meeting") ("Tranche 2 Institutional Offer").

This Prospectus has also been issued in part to facilitate the secondary trading of the Shares issued under Tranche 1 Institutional Offer ("Tranche 1 Institutional Shares") and the Shares issued under Tranche 2 Institutional Offer ("Tranche 2 Institutional Shares") as these Shares were issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. A Prospectus is required under the Corporations Act to enable those persons who are to be issued Tranche 1 Institutional Shares and Tranche 2 Institutional Shares to on-sell those Shares within 12 months of their issue.

The funds raised under the Institutional Offers will be applied towards the Company's projects, debt reduction and working capital. Further details of the application of these funds is outlined in Section 1.11 of this Prospectus.

$1.3$ Shareholder Approval

The Retail Offer and the Tranche 2 Institutional Offer are conditional upon the Company obtaining the approval of its shareholders to the issue of Shares pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Listing Rules.

Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's fully paid ordinary shares then on issue.

The Tranche 1 Institutional Offer does not require the approval of shareholders as that offer complied with Listing Rule 7.1. The allotment of those Shares is at the discretion of the Directors.

Allotment of the Conditional Securities pursuant to the Retail Offer and the Tranche 2 Institutional Offer will not be made before and only to the extent that shareholder approval is obtained at the Company's General Meeting to be held on 6 August 2007. A notice of meeting will be distributed to shareholders as soon as is practicable after the date of this Prospectus.

Until shareholder approval is obtained the application money received pursuant to Applications for the Conditional Securities will be held in trust in a separate bank account.

All application monies received pursuant to Applications for the Tranche 2 Institutional Offer will be returned (without interest) if the necessary shareholder approval is not obtained for the issue of the Tranche 2 Institutional Shares.

All applications monies received pursuant to the Applications for the Retail Offer will be returned (without interest) if necessary shareholder approval is not obtained for issue of the Retail Shares.

$1.4$ Opening and Closing Dates

The Retail Offer will open for receipt of acceptances at 9.00am WST on 3 July 2007 and will close at 5.00pm WST on 10 August 2007 or such other date as the Directors, in consultation with the Lead Manager, may determine.

$1.5$ Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Retail Offer.

In the event that no funds are raised under the Retail Offer, the expenses of the issue will be paid out of the Company's existing cash reserves.

1.6 Applications

Applicants may apply for a minimum of 10,000 Shares representing a minimum investment of \$4,000. Applications for less than the minimum application of 10,000 Shares will not be accepted.

An application for Shares pursuant to the Retail Offer can only be made on the relevant Application Form which accompanies a paper copy of this Prospectus. Cheques should be in Australian currency and made payable to "View Resources Ltd - Trust Account" and crossed "not negotiable".

Completed Application Forms must be accompanied by the application monies and lodged in person with or by post to the Company's share registry:

By delivery: By post:
Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd
Level 2, 45 St Georges Tce GPO Box D182
PERTH WA 6000 PERTH WA 6840

Application Forms must be completed in accordance with the instructions set out on the back of the Application Form.

Applications under the Retail Offer must be received by 5.00 pm WST on 10 August 2007 (subject to the right of the Directors to close the Retail Offer earlier or to extend this date without notice).

Should you wish to apply for Shares, the instructions on the back of the Application Form will assist you to ensure that the Application Form is completed correctly.

$1.7$ Lead Manager and Brokers

Hartleys Limited ("Hartleys") has agreed to act as Lead Manager to the Retail Offer. As Lead Manager, Hartleys will receive a management fee of up to 2% (plus GST) of the total amount raised under the Retail Offer and a distribution fee of up to 4% (plus GST) of the amount raised by the Company under the Retail Offer.

Hartleys is responsible for the payments of distribution fees to other brokers who submit valid Applications accepted by the Company under the Retail Offer.

No brokerage or stamp duty will be payable by Applicants subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

$1.8$ Allotments

Subject to Section 1.3, the allotment of Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the relevant closing dates and in the case of the Conditional Securities as soon as is practicable after shareholders approve the allotment of those securities. The Company reserves the right to allot Shares in full for any application or to allot any lesser number, or to decline any application received.

Where the number of Shares allotted is less than the number applied for, the surplus application monies will be returned by cheque within 7 business days after the relevant closing date. Where no allotment is made, the amount tendered on application with the relevant Application Form will be returned in full by cheque as soon as practicable after the relevant closing date. Interest will not be paid on monies refunded.

A completed and lodged Application Form, together with a cheque for the application monies, constitutes a binding and irrevocable application for the number of Shares specified in the Application Form. The Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding application.

If the Application Form is not completed correctly, or if the accompanying payment of the application monies is for the wrong amount, it may still be treated as a valid application. The Directors' decision whether to treat the application as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final. However, an applicant will not be treated as having applied for more Shares than is indicated by the amount of the cheque for the application monies.

1.9 ASX Listing

The Company will make application to ASX within 7 days following the date of this Prospectus for official quotation of the Shares.

If approval is not granted by ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not grant or allot any Shares and will repay all application monies (where applicable) as soon as practicable, without interest.

A decision by ASX to grant official quotation of the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of ASX's view as to the merits of the Company, or the Shares now offered for subscription.

Section 3 RISK FACTORS

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. The Directors strongly recommend investors examine the contents of this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus. In addition, investors should be aware there are risks associated with investment in the Company. There are certain general risks and certain specific risks which relate directly to the Company's business and are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company.

The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of:

Exploration Success

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

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

Operation and Development Risks

By its nature, the business of exploration, mineral development and production which the Company may continue to participate in contains risks. Prosperity depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, development of a commercial process route for processing the ore, design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operation and management and efficient financial management. For its part, exploration is a speculative endeavour, the development of a commercial process route cannot be assured while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances, environmental considerations and cost overruns for unforeseen events.

Whether income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development. The design and construction of efficient processing facilities, the existence of competent operational management and prudent financial administration, as well as the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced consultants also can affect successful project development.

Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates

Mineral reserves and 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 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.

Government Policy

Capacity to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy which are beyond the control of the Company.

Native Title

Both the Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth), related State native title legislation and aboriginal land rights and aboriginal heritage legislation may affect the Company's ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas or obtain production titles. Compensatory obligations may be necessary in settling native title claims if lodged over any tenements acquired by the Company. The level of impact of these matters will depend, in part, on the location and status of the tenements acquired by the Company. At this stage, it is not possible to quantify the impact (if any) which these developments may have on the operations of the Company.

Commodity Price Risk and Exchange Rate Risk

In the future, the Company's revenue will come from sale of product. Therefore, its earnings will be closely related to the price and arrangements it enters into for selling of its products. Product prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for metal, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions.

Commodity prices are also affected by the outlook for inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates and supply and demand issues. These factors may have an adverse affect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities as well as its ability to fund those activities.

In particular, the Company's profitability depends upon the world market prices of gold, nickel and other metals. If the market prices for gold, nickel and other metals fall below the Company's production costs and remain at such levels for any sustained period of time, it may not be economically feasible to commence or continue production. This would materially and adversely affect production, profitability and the Company's financial position. The Company may, although partly hedged against a decline in the gold price, experience losses and may determine to discontinue operations or development of a project or mining at one or more of its properties. If the prices of gold, nickel or other metals drop significantly, the economic prospects of the projects in which the Company has an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic. Gold and nickel prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of gold, nickel and other metals are produced, a profitable market will exist for them.

A decline in the market prices of gold, nickel and other metals may also require the Company to write down its mineral reserves and resources which would have a material and adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant write-down in reserves and resources be required, material write-down of the Company's investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation, reclamation and closure expenses may be required.

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.

Environmental Risks

The Company's operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation regarding environmental hazards and discharge of hazardous waste and materials. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

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 proceeds.

The potential for liability is an ever-present risk. The Company cannot give any assurance that despite its precautions, breaches of environmental laws (whether inadvertent or not) or environmental pollution will not materially or adversely affect its financial condition and its results from operations.

Share Market Risk

The market price of Shares can be expected to rise and fall in accordance with general market conditions and factors specifically affecting the Australian resources sector and exploration companies in particular. Neither the Company nor its Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on investment in Shares.

General $\bullet$

When compared with many industrial and commercial operations, mining and mineral processing projects are relatively high risk. This is particularly so where new technologies are employed.

Each orebody is unique. The nature of the mineralisation, the occurrence and grade of the ore, as well as its behaviour during mining and processing can never be wholly predicted. Estimations of the tonnes, grade and overall mineral content of a deposit are not precise calculations, but are based on interpretation and on samples from drilling which, even at close drill hole spacing, represent a very small sample of the entire orebody. Reconciliation of past production and reserves, where available can confirm the reasonableness of past estimates, but cannot categorically confirm the accuracy of future projections.

The applications of metallurgical testwork results and conclusions to the process design, recoveries and throughput depend on the accuracy of the testwork and the assumption that the sample tests are representative of the orebody as a whole. There is a risk associated with the scale-up of laboratory and pilot plant results to a commercial scale and with the subsequent design and construction of any plant.

Mining project revenues are subject to variations in metal prices and exchange rates. Annual price variations can be significant and future trends and timing are difficult to predict with accuracy.

Speculative Nature of 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.

Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

Future Capital Requirements

The Company's activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company's operations and business strategy.

The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.

Potential Losses through Uninsured or Uninsurable Risks

Exploration, development and production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, as well as political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes or changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Although the Company maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers reasonable, its insurance will not cover all potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Reliance on Key Personnel and Employees

The Company's prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Investors must be

willing to rely to a significant extent on management's discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

$4.4$ Rights Attaching to Shares

The Shares to be issued pursuant to this prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company. Full details of the rights attaching to the Company's Shares are set out in its constitution, a cop office.

The following is a summary of the rights that attach to the Company's existing Shares:

Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of Shares (at present there are none), at a general meeting every person present who is either a member or a proxy representative of a member shall have one vote on a show of hands or on a poll every member present in person, by proxy attorney or representative shall have one vote per fully paid Share and a fraction of a vote for every partly paid Share.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights of holders of Shares issued with any special or preferential rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Directors may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among shareholders in the proportion which the amount of the Share capital paid (not credited) on the shares held by them respectively at the time at which the entitlements thereto are determined bears to the total amounts paid or payable (excluding amounts credited) on all those Shares held by members at that time.

Rights on 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 closes 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 sees fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

When an order is made for the winding up of the Company or it is resolved by special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of assets to members. Shares classified by ASX as restricted securities and which are subject to escrow restrictions at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other Shares.

Transfer of Shares

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

Creation and Issue of Further Shares

Subject to restrictions on the allotment of share to Directors and their associates, Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act, the allotment and issue of any shares is under the control of the Directors. The Directors may allot, issue and grant options on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

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.

At present the Company has only ordinary Shares on issue. If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to class (unless otherwise provided by 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 at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class.

General Meeting

Notice of every general meeting is to be given to every shareholder. 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.
