  • $(f)$ the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used to provide working capital for the development of the Company's Carnilya Hill mining tenements and to pay the expenses of the offer. In particular, further drilling will be conducted on the tenements and the Company will also direct funds in a manner which will assist it to determine selection of the optimal mining method, mine production scheduling and cash flow evaluation in relation to the Carnilya Hill Mine.

$2.3$ Resolution $3$ – Approval for the Allotment and Issue of Shares – Acquisition of Carey Mining (2002) Pty Ltd

$2.3.1$ Background

As announced to ASX on 6 March 2003, the Company entered into a conditional heads of agreement with Carey to acquire all the issued share capital of Carey. Carey owns the Carnilya Hill mining tenements near Kambalda. The Carnilya Hill tenements previously formed part of the Kambalda mining operations owned by WMC.

Since the date of the heads of agreement, the Company has proceeded to enter into separate agreements with each of the Carey Shareholders in respect of the shares that each Carey Shareholder owns in Carey for the sale of those shares to the Company.

$2.3.2$ The Carnilya Hill Tenements

Background

The Carnilya Hill Project is located approximately 25km North east of Kambalda. The main access route to the area is via the Kambalda – Carnilya Mine haulage road.

This area has been host to one mine, the Carnilya Hill Mine, which operated between 1979 and 1998. The Archaean geology is interpreted as thrust-stacked, westerly striking, recumbently folded ultramafic belt, overlying a basalt-sediment sequence. The majority of nickel sulphides mineralization identified to date has been located on the overturned basal ultramafic contact.

A smaller ultramafic belt (southern ultramafic belt) runs parallel to the northern ultramafic belt. This belt is interpreted to be a single upright, southerly dipping ultramafic sequence with footwall basalt to the north, and overlaying Black Flag Beds to the south.

The Carnilya Hill Project (Project) consists of four mining leases: M26/47; M26/48; M26/49 and M26/453, which cover an area of 2208.4 hectares.

Region Tenement Area (ha) Date Granted Date of Expiry
Carnilya Hill M 26/47 627.9 31/05/1984 30/05/2005
M 26/48 482.4 31/05/1984 30/05/2005
M 26/49 988.1 31/05/1984 31/05/2005
M 26/453 110.0 15/12/1994 14/12/2015

Early exploration in the Carnilya Hill area focused on mapping the mafic-ultramafic contacts, identification of gossans, shallow RAB drilling and costean excavations. In 1969, hanging wall nickel sulphides were discovered by joint venture partners BHP and INCO at Zone 29. By January 1970, a total of 4210m of diamond drilling, 5797m of rotary percussion and 1537m of Halco percussion drilling was completed in the area.

A tenement wide geochemical soil survey was completed by the end of November 1992. An anomalous nickel-copper geochemical response was identified in the north – west corner of the leases. The anomaly, referred to as Anomaly 1 was coincident with gossanous material. In 1993, massive sulphides were intersected and subsequently the area was named the Dunlop Prospect. In 1996, Titan Resources NL – the one time owners of the adjoining leases (Location 45), announced the intersection of nickel sulphides in their drilling program immediately west of the Dunlop Prospect. The Goodyear Prospect which is now owned by Harmony Gold Limited may represent the lateral extension of the Dunlop Shoot.

The Carnilya Hill Mine ceased production in June 1998. At the completion of rehabilitation of the Carnilya Hill mine site in 1999 the BHP/WMC joint venture was dissolved leaving WMC 100% owners of the Project tenements.

In early June 2003, the Company acquired the Kambalda Mining Leases as previously announced to ASX. Set out below is a location map which shows both the Carnilya Hill and Kambalda Mining Leases.

Zone 29 Deposit

Massive nickel sulphides were discovered at Zone 29, two kilometres west of Carnilya Hill, in 1969. Most of the subsequent drilling was completed by 1970, with 25 holes intersecting lode material over 300 metres of strike, to a maximum depth of 140 metres below surface. Intersections included 3.1 metres at 5.1% nickel and 4.4 metres at 5.8%. In accordance with common practice at the time, the hole collars were surveyed, but the drill strings were not. WMC

did not add to the drilling at Zone 29 upon its involvement in the joint venture, but WMC estimated the Zone 29 resource at 45,000 tonnes at 4% Ni.

View undertook a recent drilling program in March – May 2003 and completed (with the assistance of, and confirmation by, an independent geologist) a revised resource estimate for Zone 29 which confirmed an indicated and inferred resource 60% greater than previous resource estimates indicated by WMC:

Category Tonnes Grade (%Ni)
Indicated 43,000 5.7
Inferred 31,000 4.Z
$3.9 \text{ (avg)}$

Zone 29 Resource Estimate

The drilling program also confirmed that the Zone 29 deposit is open along strike both in the East and West directions and at depth. The shallow nature of the Zone 29 resources is expected to translate into early production (indicated resources 60m below surface and inferred resources 30m below surface) in the next 6 to 9 months.

The three dimensional view shown in Figure 1 below is a visual representation of the Zone 29 resource polygons. The lighter shaded areas relate to the Indicated resources and the darker shaded areas are the Inferred resources.

The recent strong growth in the world nickel price and the increase in the Zone 29 resource estimate has significantly increased the revenue and profitability potential of Zone 29 to be realised in the next 12 to 18 months. The Company is currently finalising mine planning, production scheduling and cash flow evaluation. This process is expected to be completed by August 2003.

Figure 1: 3D Representation of the Zone 29 resource estimate (view position looking from the southwest)

Carnilya Hill Mine

The Carnilya Hill mine contributed 1.4 million tonnes of ore grading 3.38% nickel to WMC's Kambalda concentrator between 1979 and 1998, placing it among Kambalda's most economically successful mines. A 1973 discovery by BHP, WMC farmed in to Carnilya Hill's development, which grew incrementally from a near surface, high grade mine to the eventual extraction of up to eight discrete lenses mined over 1.2 kilometres of the basal ultramafic contact. In the context of other Kambalda deposits, Carnilya Hill is structurally complex. The mine sequence is sheared and overturned, which confers less strike continuous lenses, but also sound ground conditions because the hanging wall is in competent basalt rather than Kambalda's notorious ultramafics. In 1998 with the price of nickel at low levels of \$US2.00 per pound. (current nickel prices are approximately \$US3.80 per pound) WMC closed Carnilya Hill. Rehabilitation in 1999 plugged the decline portal in the centre of the workings, and vent shafts at either end, with unconsolidated fill.

Sections identified in WMC's mine database acquired by Carey, show unmined, developed panels in the western section of the mine, which represent WMC's estimate of remaining resources, of 87,000 tonnes at 1.95% Ni. Of interest to View, the pillars (which are not included in the WMC resource estimate) are broadest in the near surface, high grade section of the mine; near enough to the decline portal to suggest access for their recovery might require only the excavation of the loose fill from the portal. With the prospective contact continuing along strike both east and west, and at depth below 300 vertical metres, independent geologists' have suggested that Carnilya Hill is more likely an incrementally developing mine suspended through a lack of capital, rather than exhaustion of ore or prospects.

Following the recent completion of an independent review of the mining and geological information (including drill hole and mining plan data and "hard copy" sections) available in respect of the Carnilya Hill Mine, the Company's current focus in the immediate short term will be directed towards selection of optimal mining method, mine production scheduling and cash flow evaluation.

The results of the study have confirmed the robust and relatively uniform nature of the nickel mineralisation within the Mine deposit and the potential to increase the overall resource base with some limited extra peripheral and deeper drilling.

Dunlop

Surface indications on the Carnilya Hill/Zone 29 contact led to the 1993 discovery of massive nickel sulphides at Dunlop, in the north-west corner of the leases. WMC estimated a resource of 309,000 tonnes at 2.0% Ni for Dunlop in the tenement data obtained by Carey. Nickel sulphides are also present across the tenement boundary in the Goodyear prospect now owned by Harmony Gold Limited. View intends to pursue some form of collaborative arrangement to coordinate exploration and production efforts over the Dunlop and Goodyear deposits.

Business Plan

The Board believes that the acquisition of the Carnilya Hill tenements present View with an expedient and low-cost entry into the ranks of junior nickel producers. The acquisition of a WMC Kambalda nickel project brings with it significant benefits which include:

  • Defined in ground resource of 470,210 tonnes $\omega$ 2.27% Ni;
  • Secure nickel off-take agreement with WMC as part of the acquisition;
  • A large database of exploration data; $\bullet$
  • Low capital cost requirement;

  • No marketing risk;

  • No milling or metallurgical risk with the nickel ore processed at WMC's Kambalda smelter: and
  • No plant set-up or processing risk

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.10, the geological information contained in this Explanatory Statement that relates to mineral resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by the Company's Director, Derek Lenartowicz (mining engineer) and James Pratt (senior geologist) who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy,

Derek Lenartowicz and James Pratt have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 1999 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves." Derek Lenartowicz and James Pratt consent to the inclusion in the Explanatory Statement based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.

$2.3.3$ Acquisition Agreement

On 5 March 2003 the Company entered into a heads of agreement with Carey, and the Carey Shareholders which sets out the principal commercial terms upon which the Company will acquire all of the issued capital of Carey (free from encumbrances) (Heads of Agreement).

As announced to ASX on 10 June 2003, all of the parties to the Heads of Agreement have agreed to complete the Carey Transaction subject to the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals and complying with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The Heads of Agreement contemplated that a formal agreement governing the Carey Transaction would be executed. Accordingly, the Company has proceeded to enter into separate share sale agreements with each of the Carey Shareholders in respect of the acquisition by the Company of each Carey Shareholder's shares in Carey (collectively, the Share Sale Agreements).

Consideration

The Share Sale Agreements provide for the consideration payable by the Company to each of the Carey Shareholders as set out in section $2.3.6(c)$ . The total consideration payable by the Company to the Carey Shareholders in consideration for the acquisition of the issued capital in Carey is as follows:

  • 100,000,000 Shares. These Shares will be voluntarily escrowed for 12 months from (a) the date of issue:
  • $(b)$ cash payment of \$250,000; and
  • $(c)$ additional cash payments and a total of 250,000,000 Incentive Shares (comprising 80,000,000 Class A Incentive Shares, 85,000,000 Class B Incentive Shares and 85,000,000 Class C Incentive Shares) convertible into Shares upon the satisfaction of the following key performance events:
  • $\ge$ conversion of 80,000,000 Class A Incentive Shares into 80,000,000 Shares and a \$150,000 cash payment if Carey receives regulatory approval from the Department of Industry and Resources for its notice of intention to mine the Zone 29 region of the Mining Leases;

  • $\ge$ conversion of 85,000,000 Class B Incentive Shares into 85,000,000 Shares and a \$100,000 cash payment if and when the Mining Leases have generated \$12,000,000 in revenue: and

  • $\ge$ conversion of 85,000,000 Class C Incentive Shares into 85,000,000 Shares when the activities from the Mining Leases have generated a total of \$20,000,000 in revenue.

Full details of the Incentive Shares are set out in Annexure C. In addition, shareholder approval is also required in relation to Resolution 4 to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Shares to the Carey Shareholders.

In addition to the above terms, the Carey Shareholders have also agreed that they will provide the Company with a first right of refusal to acquire, at commercial cost, any mining nickel project presented to them (individually or collectively) for a period of 3 years from the date of completion of the Transaction.
