Residents of countries outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an application to take up Shares on the basis of 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.

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.

5. COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW
5.1 Background
On 8 February 2008, Mr Andrew Saker and Mr Darren Weaver (Deed Administrators) were appointed as the joint and several administrators to the Company and its subsidiaries (View Group).
At the same time, the Company’s Shares were suspended from trading on the ASX.
The assets of the Company comprised the Company’s interests in View Gold Pty Ltd and View Nickel Pty Ltd.
A Deed of Company Arrangement was subsequently entered into by the Company and the assets of View Gold Pty Ltd were sold (with the proceeds being paid to the secured creditor of the View Group).
The Deed Administrators subsequently called for proposals to recapitalise the Company with a view to seeking reinstatement to trading of its securities on ASX. The Deed Administrators have since accepted a proposal by Brijohn Nominees Pty Ltd for the restructuring and recapitalisation of the Company.
On 20 December 2010, the Company and View Nickel Pty Ltd obtained the approval of their creditors to enter into a varied Deed of Company Arrangement so that all claims of creditors (secured and unsecured) against the Company and View Nickel Pty Ltd will be comprised and released following a cash payment to a creditors' trust.
On 9 February 2011, the recapitalisation of the Company and the effectuation of the Deed of Company Arrangement were completed and control of the Company was passed back to the Board.
5.2 Details of the Company’s Assets
Summary
On completion of the recapitalisation proposal, all of the other assets of the View Group (being the Joint Venture interest, which is described in further detail below) remained with the group. The board of directors of the Company will be seeking to continue the joint venture operations, complete further regional exploration and also consider new resource project opportunities. The Company has applied for a new tenement (ELA 39/1641) in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Joint Venture Interest
The Company (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has retained a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL (Joint Venture). The tenements covered by the Joint Venture include tenements M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. The Joint Venture has been in production for a number of years and the current mine plan anticipates that it will remain in production until the current resource is depleted (depending on the nickel price and successful mining techniques being implemented).
In the financial year ending 30 June 2010, the profit before tax of the Joint Venture was $18.7 million. The unaudited profit of the Joint Venture from 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010 was $3.35 million.
12
Mincor Resources NL (Mincor) is the operator of the Joint Venture and has advised the Company that the Joint Venture is now in ‘harvest mode’. This means that the majority of mine development has been completed to access the remaining ore reserves and future mining operations will focus on extracting the ore available as a result of this mine development.
From 30 June 2010 to the end of December 2010, approximately 46,000 tonnes of nickel ore at an average grade of 2.8% nickel have been mined from the project. Mining is being carried out at a lower rate than in previous months (approximately 4,000 tonnes a month) to optimise the use of the underground mining fleet.
Historical cash calls for the last 12 months, have been in the range of approximately $300,000 to $500,000 per month.
The ore from the Joint Venture is treated and acquired by BHP Billiton Nickel West Pty Ltd under an ore tolling and concentrate purchase agreement. As at 30 June 2010, the Ore Reserves for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor Resources NL) were as set out in the table below:
| Proved | Proved | Probable | Probable | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Total Ni tonnes |
| 74,000 | 3.5 | 43,000 | 3.1 | 117,000 | 3.3 | 3,900 |
Mincor prepares resource and reserve statements at the end of the financial year (i.e. as at 30 June each year) and therefore the Company is unable to provide a resource and reserve statement current as at the date of this prospectus.
In addition, the Company is unable to make detailed forecasts as to future mine production or cash flows since due to the status of the mine the actual ore production can vary significantly on a monthly basis and cash flows will be dependent on the amount of ore mined as well as the prevailing nickel price and exchange rates.
The Ore Reserves for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor Resources NL as at 30 June 2010) attributable to the Company’s 30% interest (i.e. 30% of the total Carnilya Hill Ore Reserves) are as set out in the table below:
| Proved | Proved | Probable | Probable | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Total Ni tonnes |
| 22,000 | 3.5 | 13,000 | 3.1 | 35,000 | 3.3 | 1,200 |
As at 30 June 2010, the Mineral Resource for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor) attritutable to the Company’s 30% interest (i.e. 30% of the total Carnilya Hill Mineral Resource) is as set out in the table below:
13
| Measured | Measured | Indicated | Indicated | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Tonnes | Ni (%) | Total Ni tonnes |
| 21,000 | 5.0 | 42,000 | 3.5 | 63,000 | 4.0 | 2,500 |
The resources above are inclusive of reserves.
The information in this Prospectus relating to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is taken from the Mincor Resources NL 2010 Annual Report.
The information has been reviewed by Mr Colwin Lloyd, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Lloyd is Principal Geologist of Geobase Australia Pty Ltd, consultants to the Company. Mr Lloyd has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. He has consented to the inclusion of the information in this Prospectus in the form and context which it appears based on the information presented by Mincor Resources NL in publicly available documents.
Exploration
There has been limited exploration undertaken by the Joint Venture since June 2010 and it is not known whether future exploration will delineate any further nickel mineralisation. As the operator of the joint venture, Mincor manages the ongoing exploration programmes and will release results from these programmes as they are available. The exploration conducted to date has been inclusive.
Notwithstanding this, the Company anticipates approaching Mincor to complete a comprehensive exploration review of the Joint Venture assets once the mining operations have come to an end.
Other opportunities
In addition to the above, the management team of the Company will actively seek out complementary and non-complementary assets, investments and businesses that have the potential to generate additional shareholder value. These other opportunities might include making investments in resource assets outside of nickel. The Company has been considering a number of opportunities in the coal, iron ore, potash, phosphate and other mineral sectors in recent times. As at the date of this Prospectus, no commercial discussions are at a stage that would warrant any disclosure in this Prospectus.
The Company has applied for tenement E39/1641 in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. This tenement is located immediately south of the Murrin Murrin operation operated by Minara Resources Ltd and adjacent to the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd. The tenement is believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation. The Company is currently compiling publicly available data relating to this tenement from which it will determine the exploration strategy to be taken once tenure is granted.

(ii) 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
-
(iii) 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 the share, 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).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights to dividend the Directors may declare a final dividend out of profits in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the Shareholders of such a dividend. The Directors may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the Shareholders of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend all dividends are to be declared and paid on all Shares
15
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. Interest may not be paid by the Company in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.
(d)
Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, 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 of the Company, 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. Where 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 at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other shares.
(e)
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 or the Listing Rules.
(f) Variation of rights
Pursuant to 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.

7. RISK FACTORS
7.1 General
The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative.
The business activities of the Company are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which Shares will trade.
A number of material risk factors are set out below. This list is not exhaustive and potential Applicants should examine the contents of this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
Risks Specific to the Company
7.2 Reinstatement of the Company’s Shares to Official Quotation
Trading in the Company's Shares has been suspended by the ASX. After the close of this Offer, the Company will apply to the ASX to have its Shares readmitted to Official Quotation.
As set out in Section 3.8 of this Prospectus, the reinstatement of the Company’s Shares to Official Quotation is subject to the Company satisfying each of the conditions imposed by ASX for the reinstatement. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee that the ASX will reinstate the trading of the Company's Shares.
7.3 Exploration Risk
The mineral exploration projects the Company has an interest in through the Joint Venture 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 Company’s projects, or any other projects 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.
7.4 Operating Risks
The operations of the Joint Venture 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 and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of the Joint Venture projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from these projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
17
7.5 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 Joint Venture’s operations.
7.6 Joint Venture and Contractual Risk
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.
Failure by the Joint Venture to deliver ore in the correct quantity or acceptable specifications, or failure by customers of the Joint Venture to take or pay for ore contracted, could have an adverse affect on the financial performance of the Company.
7.7 Government Factors
The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, and the decisions of courts and tribunals, can impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company.
7.8 Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Joint Venture are subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Joint Venture’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
7.9 Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks
Any revenue which the Joint Venture, or any other future operations of the Company, derives through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price risk (in particular, the risk of adverse fluctuations in the price of nickel) and 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 precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be reported in Australian currency, which may expose 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.
18
7.10 Title Risks and Native Title
Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State legislation 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 tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. If any of the tenements are not renewed, the Company may suffer damage through the loss of opportunity to discover and develop any mineral resources to which it otherwise would have had a right.
It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.
7.11 Additional Requirements for Capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. In the future, the Company is likely to require further financing to develop its projects. Any additional equity financing will 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.
7.12 Insurance Risks
The Company endeavours 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.
7.13 Transaction Specific Prospectus
Due to the Company previously being in administration, the Company has not lodged all of the periodic reports required by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The last financial report completed by the Company was for the year ended 30 June 2007. The Company is in the process of completing all of its outstanding financial reports and expects this process to be completed in the coming weeks. The lodgement of these outstanding reports is a condition to the Company’s Shares being re-instated to trading on the ASX.
The Company’s failure to provide these periodic reports could result in the ASIC making an order that would prevent the Company issuing a transaction specific prospectus for a 12 month period. If such an order were made before the closing date of this Prospectus, the Company would be unable to proceed with this Prospectus in which case any applications will be dealt with in accordance with the Corporations Act.
19
General Risks
7.14 Economic Risks
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.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(f) terrorism or other hostilities.
7.15 Share Market Conditions
There are general risks associated with any investment in the share market. The market price of the Shares 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.
7.16 Reliance on Key Management
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. The Company’s future ability to recruit and retain highly qualified management personnel will also be critical to its success.
7.17 Investment Speculative
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 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.
Shareholders 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.
20
8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
8.1 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. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This 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. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and
21
- (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.
The Company notes that it is in the process of completing all outstanding financial reports. Whilst these reports are required to be prepared under the Corporations Act, the Directors do not consider that these reports are relevant to investors in the context of the Company’s current position and operations.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
