3. IMPORTANT NOTES
This Prospectus is dated 9 July 2014 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
No Securities may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.
No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in the Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.
It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Shares the subject of this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be submitted on an original Application Form or Shortfall Application Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.
3.1
ASIC Class Order on Share Purchase Plans
In certain circumstances a listed company may undertake a share purchase plan in accordance with ASIC Class Order CO 09/425 (Class Order). This Class Order allows a share purchase plan to be conducted without the use of a prospectus.
The Class Order only applies to the offer of securities under a share purchase plan where a company’s securities have not been suspended from quotation on ASX for more than a total of five days during the shorter of:
-
(a) the period during which the class was quoted; and
-
(b) the period of 12 months before the day on which the offer is made.
As the Company’s securities were suspended from quotation for more than five days in the previous 12 months, the Company is unable to rely on the relief granted by the Class Order and, therefore, is undertaking the share purchase plan under this Prospectus.
3.2
Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in section 4 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly
3
3279-06/1156259_2
speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
3.3
Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of our Company, the Directors and our management.
We cannot and do not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
We have no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in section 4 of this Prospectus.

4.5 Payment by BPAY®
- (a) For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Application Form.

5
3279-06/1156259_2
- (b) if you do not pay for your SPP Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your SPP 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 5:00pm WST on the Closing Date.

No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.
4.6 Underwriting
The SPP Offer is not underwritten,
4.7 General Offer
Any SPP Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the SPP Offer will form the General Offer.
The issue price for each Share to be issued under the General Offer shall be $0.0008 (being the price at which Shares have been offered under the SPP Offer).
The Directors reserve the right to issue General Offer Securities at their absolute discretion. Accordingly, do not apply for General Offer Securities unless instructed to do so by the Directors.
4.8
ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.

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

6
3279-06/1156259_2

Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offers will be mailed in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
4.10 Overseas shareholders
This Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the SPP Offer is not being extended to Eligible Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

(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 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).
(c) 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.
13
3279-06/1156259_2
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.
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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the
14
3279-06/1156259_2
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.
(i) 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.

7. RISK FACTORS
7.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered 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 Securities 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 Securities.
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) Future capital requirements
Significant future funding may be required by the Company to develop the Uzgen Basin Coking Coal Project. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. 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 program as the case may be, which may adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and its performance. This may also affect the Company’s ability to meet the Stage 2 and Stage 3 Commitments.
(b) Risks Associated with Operating in Kyrgyzstan
The Project is located in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in Kyrgyzstan. Such risks can include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local residents or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.
Changes to Kyrgyzstan’s mining or investment policies and legislation or a shift in political attitude may adversely affect the Company’s operations and profitability. The Company might also be required by local authorities to invest in social projects for the benefit of the local community. Additional social expenditures in the future may have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.
16
3279-06/1156259_2
(c) Kyrgyzstan’s Legal Environment
Kyrgyzstan’s legal systems are less developed than more established countries and this could result in the following risks:
-
(i) political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation or in an ownership dispute;
-
(ii) a higher degree of discretion held by various government officials or agencies;
-
(iii) the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations, particularly in relation to taxation and property rights;
-
(iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or
-
(v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in matters affecting the Company.
The commitment to local business people, government officials and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licences and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that the Farm-in Agreement (and any other legal arrangements) will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others. As such, the effectiveness and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured.
7.3 General risks
(a) Exploration Success
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Project will result in the discovery of economic coal deposits. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee it can be economically exploited. Parameters which will affect the viability of any coal deposit are the size, quality and thickness of the seams identified. Coal has a large number of different quality parameters and the required levels of these many parameters will vary from customer to customer. If the coal in the company’s deposits is outside the acceptable range for certain parameters, as determined from time to time by the customers for the coal, the marketability of the coal may be adversely affected.
(b) Foreign exchange risk
The Company will be exposed to the volatility and fluctuations of the exchange rate between the United States dollar, the Kyrgyz som and the Australian dollar.
Global currencies are affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company. These factors include economic conditions in the relevant country and elsewhere and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors. These factors may have a positive
17
3279-06/1156259_2
or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
(c)
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 of 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.
(d) Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While 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, whose activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.
(e)
Market risk
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:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) commodity price fluctuations;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vii) terrorism and other hostilities.
(f)
Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company intends to make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
(g) Reliance on Key Personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its
18
3279-06/1156259_2
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.
7.4 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 Securities offered under this Prospectus
Therefore, the Securities 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 Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
19
3279-06/1156259_2
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. 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 a 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
20
3279-06/1156259_2
-
(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
-
(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.
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.
Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. 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. Please note that, as set out in the Company’s press release dated 26[th] May 2014, and subject to shareholder approval, the fees below may be settled with a combination of cash and shares.
| Director | Year from 30 June 2014 (Proposed) $ |

-
(b) promoter of the Company; or
-
(c) underwriter (but not a sub-underwriter) to the issue or a financial services licensee named in this Prospectus as a financial services licensee involved in the issue,

-
(h) the Offers.
Steinepreis Paganin has acted as the solicitors to the Company in relation to the Offers. The Company estimates it will pay Steinepreis Paganin $10,000 (excluding GST and disbursements) for these services. During the 24 months preceding lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC, Steinepreis Paganin has invoiced the Company for fees totalling $178,184.02 (excl GST and disbursements) for legal services provided to the Company. $16,757.50 (excl GST and disbursements) of this amount is outstanding and is included in the Company’s accounts payable balance as at the date of the Prospectus.
8.7 Consents
Each of the parties referred to in this section:
-
(a) does not make, or purport to make, any statement in this Prospectus other than those referred to in this section;
-
(b) to the maximum extent permitted by law, expressly disclaim and take no responsibility for any part of this Prospectus other than a reference to its name and a statement included in this Prospectus with the consent of that party as specified in this section; and

| ASIC fees ASX fees Legal fees Printing and distribution Miscellaneous Total |
$ 2,290 3,000 10,000 20,000 4,710 |
|---|---|

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 9226 4500 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.celsiuscoal.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 account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus.
