INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

This information is a selective overview only. Investors should read the Prospectus in full,
including the experts’ reports in Sections 8 to 10 (inclusive) before deciding whether to
invest.
  • ..... Resource Star Limited is a mineral exploration company. The Company has, or has entered into agreements to acquire, interests in tenements in areas of demonstrated uranium potential in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Tasmania and Malawi in Southern Africa.

  • ..... In the Northern Territory, the initial focus is on the uranium occurrences on the Edith River tenements. Field reconnaissance has defined a number of uranium occurrences in a potential IOCG system, and it is intended to undertake a preliminary reverse circulation (RC) drilling program once priority drill sites and access have been finalised.

  • ..... The Company has recently acquired interests in three new tenements adjacent to the Edith River Project. These tenements cover strike extensions to existing target areas and also show uranium anomalism to the west, which could be related to an additional style of uranium mineralisation.

  • ..... It is planned to undertake preliminary reconnaissance over previously identified uranium anomalies in geological settings consistent with known deposit styles on the Marrakai, Daly River Road and Hayes Creek South leases in the Northern Territory.

  • ..... The initial focus in Malawi is on the Machinga tenement, on uranium anomalies identified during earlier radiometric surveys, where the Company has located significant niobium, zircon, rare earth and uranium results in rock chip sampling.

  • ..... The Company has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire an interest to the Ilomba Hill tenement in northern Malawi, where historical work indicates the presence of niobium and uranium in an alkali intrusion similar to Machinga, and a reconnaissance program will be undertaken here to define the potential for drilling.

  • ..... In Western Australia, the Company intends to follow-up known uranium occurrences from shallow drilling on two leases on the margins of Lake Barlee.

  • ..... The Company has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a free-carried 35% interest in an exploration project being established in Tasmania at Specimen Reef, where drilling has intersected gold-uranium veining.

  • ..... In the event oversubscriptions are accepted they will be applied to further the exploration efforts in Australia and Malawi (with an additional amount towards the expenses of the Offer), and potentially to be used elsewhere should access to compelling opportunities become available.

INVESTMENT RISKS

Subscribing for Shares that are the subject of this Prospectus involves a number of risks.
Before deciding whether to invest in the Company, any intending investor is urged to
consider the risk factors set out in Section 11 of this Prospectus, which include:
  • ..... No guarantee of exploration success.

  • ..... No guarantee of viable economic extraction.

4
  • ..... Imprecise and possibly inaccurate nature of exploration targets.

  • ..... Uranium regulatory risk.

  • ..... Sovereign risk.

  • ..... Risk as to future title and standing in relation to the tenements in which the Company has or may earn an interest.

  • ..... Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks.

In particular the following specific risks should be considered:

� ..... No guarantee of exploration success

Mineral exploration is inherently associated with risk. Notwithstanding the experience,
knowledge and careful evaluation a company brings to an exploration project there is
no assurance that recoverable and saleable mineral resources will be identified. Even if
mineral resources are identified, other factors such as technical difficulties, geological
conditions, adverse changes in government policy or legislation or lack of access to
sufficient funding may mean that the resource is not economically recoverable or may
otherwise preclude the Company from successfully exploiting the discovery.
Investors should note that in relation to any of the Company’s Projects, any potential
quantity and grade indicated is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient
exploration to define a mineral resource in respect of the Projects at the date of this
Prospectus, and that it is uncertain that further exploration will result in the determination
of a mineral resource.

� ..... Uranium regulatory risk

Both Federal Coalition and Labour Party policy favours the development of new uranium mines, albeit under strict environmental, heritage and nuclear safeguards. However, there can be no assurance that the policy will not change in the future and this may adversely affect the long-term prospects of the Company. In Western Australia, the current State Government has revoked its predecessors ban on uranium mining and is now focusing on developing this sector. Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act 1953 (Cth) and the Northern Territory Self-Government) Regulations 1978 (Cth) the Commonwealth has reserved its powers on uranium mining in the Northern Territory. The NT Mining Act requires that the Northern Territory Minister for Mines must consult with the Commonwealth Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources before granting a mining title that relates to uranium, and must act in accordance with any advice that the Commonwealth Minister provides. The Tasmanian Government supports exploration for uranium though the usual mining and environmental approval processes. In 2007 the Government and Opposition jointly voted down a Greens party proposal to ban uranium exploration and development in Tasmania.

The Government of Malawi is currently in the process of putting in place a uranium
mining legislation as the country is still operating under the 1981 Mines and Minerals Act,
which does not contemplate uranium mining in an adequate capacity. There can be no
assurance that these policies will not change in the future and this may adversely affect
the long-term prospects of the Company.

� ..... Risks attaching to exploration operations in a developing country

Some of the Company’s project interests are located in Malawi which is considered to
be a developing country and, as such, subject to emerging legal and political systems
compared with the system in place in Australia.  There are risks attaching to exploration
5
operations in a developing country which are not necessarily present in a developed
country which can impact on a range of factors such as sovereign risk.  Possible
sovereign risks include without limitation changes in the terms of mining tenements,
changes to royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and concessions and
changes in the ability to enforce legal rights.
Other risks attaching to exploration operations in a developing country include security,
costs, ability to operate, country policy, fiscal provisions and laws and can lead to delays
or even the suspension of operations.  Any of these factors may in the future adversely
affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its Shares. No
assurance can be given regarding future stability in Malawi.

� ..... Title Risks including Native Title Risks

The mining tenements in which the Company has or may acquire an interest in are
subject to the applicable local laws and regulations.  There is no guarantee that any
tenement applications or conversions in which the Company has a current or potential
interest will be granted.
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. Please refer to the
Solicitors’ Report on Australian Tenements in Section 10 of this Prospectus for details of
native title claims registered against certain tenements in which the Company has an
interest, and for further information relating to Native Title.

2. LETTER FROM THE CEO

On behalf of both the Board and management of Resource Star Limited ( Resource Star , RSL or the Company ), I am pleased to present this Prospectus and to offer you the opportunity to become a shareholder in the Company, or to increase your shareholding.

On 6 August 2007, RSL shareholders agreed to the Company acquiring a uranium
exploration company, Orion Exploration Pty Ltd, from Red Rock Resources plc (a
company incorporated in the United Kingdom and listed on AIM), together with uranium
exploration rights in E29/581, a tenement in Western Australia.

As part of the arrangement, Red Rock Resources also transferred into the Company certain exploration licenses located in Malawi, Southern Africa ( Malawi Tenements ).

The strategic objective of the Company is to focus its activities on exploration for uranium
and uranium-associated minerals, initially on projects based in Malawi in Africa, and in
Australia. Further information on the Company and its Projects is located at Section 6 of
this Prospectus.

The principal commodity sought within all projects is uranium, although the Machinga and Ilomba Hill projects, while originally targeted for uranium, may also contain significant quantities of niobium and zircon, and may contain economically important tantalum and rare earth elements ( REEs ); some of the Northern Territory projects are also prospective for gold mineralisation, and the proposed Tasmanian project’s target includes gold and copper as well as uranium. The projects range in development status from those with identified mineralisation (Machinga), through to those with historical reports of mineralisation (Lake Barlee, Woolgni, Ilomba Hill), or well-defined targets (Edith River) to prospective grass roots exploration projects. The projects target a number of different styles of uranium mineralisation, and are located in areas where there is reasonable expectation for locating economic mineralisation.

On 14 July 2008, RSL shareholders agreed to the Company changing the nature of its
activities from a retail company, to a mineral exploration company.  As part of this
process, the Company is required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing
Rules in order to re-list onto ASX.
Since then, consistent financial and strategic support has been provided by the
Company’s major shareholder Red Rock Resources. A loan has been extended to the
Company by Red Rock Resources, and part of that loan has already been converted to
equity as identified in the 30 June 2009 Annual Report. The majority of the remainder,
depending on final interest charges, will be converted to equity through the issue of
Shares pursuant to this Prospectus. Please refer to Section 12.2 for further information
regarding the loan, and Section 13.3 for information on Red Rock Resources.
By this Prospectus and in accordance with the re-compliance requirements under the
ASX Listing Rules, the Company is offering new investors an opportunity to make an initial
investment in the Company, and for existing shareholders to increase their investment.
On behalf of the Directors, I welcome your consideration of this opportunity to be part of
an exciting new period for the Company.  I recommend you read this Prospectus
carefully.
Yours sincerely

Richard Evans Chief Executive Officer

6. COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

6.1 Background

The entity that is now Resource Star Ltd previously operated a retail business that
focused on internet shopping through an on-line portal.

On 6 August 2007, Resource Star shareholders agreed to the Company acquiring a uranium exploration company, Orion Exploration Pty Ltd ( Orion ), from Red Rock Resources plc (a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and listed on AIM), together with uranium exploration rights in E29/581, a tenement in Western Australia.

As part of the arrangement, Red Rock Resources also transferred into the Company certain exploration licenses located in Malawi, Southern Africa ( Malawi Tenements ).

In connection with the acquisition, on 14 July 2008, the Company obtained
approval of its Shareholders to change the nature of its activities and business to
a mineral exploration company.
Set out below is a summary of the current assets of the Company and other
relevant information for Shareholders to assess the proposed future direction of
the Company.
Investors should refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report, Independent
Accountant’s Report, Solicitor’s Report on Australian Tenements and Solicitor’s
Report on Malawian Tenements in Sections 8, 9, 10, and 10 respectively, in
conjunction with the summary below.

6.2 Overview of Assets

The Company has interests in projects in the Northern Territory, Tasmania,
Western Australia and in the southern African country of Malawi. The main
exploration focus for the Company is uranium and the tenements are located in
areas considered highly favourable for uranium mineralisation. Many of the
tenements are also prospective for other minerals, including gold, copper and
iron in the Northern Territory and Tasmania, and niobium, rare earth elements
and associated minerals these are being examined in conjunction with the
uranium potential.

Some of the Company’s tenements are held by Orion Exploration Pty Ltd ( Orion ), Eastbourne Exploration Pty Ltd ( Eastbourne ) and in its own right. Eastbourne and Orion are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

6.3 Tenement List

A list of the tenements held by the Company or in which the Company has an
interest is set out in the tables below.
Further details relating to the Company’s interest in the tenements are set out in
the Independent Geologists Report in Section 8 and the Solicitors’ Report on
Australian and Malawian Tenements in Sections 10, and 10 respectively.

3. The tenement relating to the Celia Prospect is currently under a five year moratorium in relation to negotiations with Traditional Owners.

4. The Woolgni Mine Area is a small mineral lease application over the historical Woolgni Gold Mine. It is totally enclosed within EL23569.

6.4 Malawi tenements

The Company has three projects in the east-central African nation of Malawi
(Figure 1).  All contain indications of, and are prospective for uranium
mineralisation.

Within the southern project, Machinga , anomalies are associated with alkaline intrusions which the Company has commenced systematic exploration for Nb-ZrREE-U-Ta mineralisation associated with alkali magmatism, similar to that found in

18
the JORC Resource defined by Globe Metals & Mining at Kanyika in central
Malawi.

Within the northern project, Ilomba Hill another alkali intrusive complex, there are historically reported occurrences of niobium, zircon rare earth and titanium minerals, along with strongly anomalous uranium & niobium results. It is believed that the intrusive complex is similar to the Machinga and Kanyika systems.

At the Chintheche project, uranium channel anomalies are associated either with sediments that are potential hosts for redox uranium mineralisation, or the recently discovered concentrations of heavy minerals along the lake shore. Analytical work is yet to be completed to more fully understand the potential of this tenement.

Figure 1: Malawi licence locations

19
Malawi is considered to have undergone positive social and political
transformation in recent years and the government appears to be committed to
the development of mining, including that of uranium.  Evidence of this is the
recent successful construction and commissioning by Paladin Energy Limited for
its Kayelekera Uranium Project in the north of the country, and the rapid progress
possible at Globe Metals & Mining’s Kanyika Nb-Zr Project.

The Machinga Project (EPL 0230-07) , comprises an Exclusive Prospecting Licence ( EPL ) granted to Eastbourne Exploration Pty Ltd ( Eastbourne ) on 12 December 2007. Eastbourne is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Globe Metals & Mining Limited ( Globe ) to jointly explore the Machinga Project, whereby Globe has the opportunity to earn up to an 80% interest in the project through the exploration and assessment expenditure. A summary of the agreement is in Section 12.9 of this Prospectus.

In 1955 a radiometric anomaly was located about three kilometres southeast of
Machinga (formerly Kasupe).  Two historical diamond drill holes intersected
radioactive granitic and pegmatitic veins.  While the historical records are not
complete, there are reports of downhole radiometric analyses which returned
the values of 2.5m at 700ppm eU3O8 and 0.6m at 1,000 ppm eU3O8.
During 1986, an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out over
Malawi. The survey located a number of significant uranium channel radiometric
anomalies within the Zomba region.  The Company’s Machinga licence covers
the group of anomalies.

The identified uranium anomalies are spatially related to the margins of syenitic/alkaline intrusive complexes. These contact zones have the potential to contain concentrations not only of uranium, but also of other elements including tantalum, niobium, zircon and rare earth elements ( REE ).

In 2008, the Company carried out a detailed scintillometer grid, mapping and
sampling over the main anomaly and at a number of satellite anomalies.  The
work confirmed the presence of radiometric anomalies associated with
pegmatite swarms, which are anomalous in niobium, zircon, REEs, uranium,
thorium and tantalum (Table 1).
n = 125 Peak Average
Nb2O5 2.99% 0.36%
ZrSiO4 5.46% 2.10%
Ta2O5 ppm 1,673 210
U3O8 ppm 783 83
TREO 2.64% 0.42%
%HREO in TREO 69.5% 26.8%

Table 1: Rock-chip results Machinga Main North Prospect

TREO = Total Rare Earth Oxides (La through Lu + Y), HREO = more valuable Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (Eu through Lu +Y). All results reported are ICP Mass Spectrometry with Lithium Metaborate fusion; and, where required, over-limit by Metaborate Fusion Wavelength Dispersive XRF

In 2009, the Company carried out an orientation soil sampling survey over the
area of outcropping mineralisation, and then part way along the strike of the
20
uranium channel airborne radiometric anomaly of some 7km length along the
NE flank of the granite complex. Results from this work are yet to be received.
The Company’s proposed exploration program in 2010 is to:
  • (a) complete detailed geological mapping of the areas of the radiometric anomalies, utilising a portable scintillometer and XRF analyser as warranted;

  • (b) complete geochemical surveys, trenching, and rock chip sampling over priority areas; and

  • (c) evaluate the anomalies, identify and prioritise targets, and commence staged drill programs into them.

In addition, the Company intends to continue exploration within the rest of the
tenement to identify other target areas for follow-up investigation. First pass
exploration of the alkaline ring complexes may be by stream sediment
geochemistry including the collection and analysis of heavy mineral
concentrates.

The Ilomba Hill project area (EPL 0219-07) contains a mapped alkali intrusive complex that has been the subject of historical sampling, academic research and the commercial extraction of dimension stone, but no modern exploration including regional airborne geophysics.

Reported lithological descriptions, mineral occurrences and chemical assays
confirm the prospectivity of the complex for Nb-Zr-U-REE-Ta mineralisation.
The project is situated about 700km north of the capital of Lilongwe (Figure 1).

The licence was granted to Nyalihanga Enterprises Ltd ( Nyalihanga ) of Malawi in September 2008 and was made subject of an agreement with Red Rock in September 2009. Nyalihanga has the responsibility to ensure the full suite of minerals are covered by the tenement, that the government approves the transfer of title, and that access is granted to all areas of interest before further payments are made under the agreement. Red Rock has agreed to transfer the rights to the tenement to the Company subject to the Company relisting.

The Chintheche project area (EPL 0219-07) contains a number of uranium channel radiometric anomalies identified from the 1986 radiometric survey, referred to above.

The project is situated about 240km north of the capital of Lilongwe (Figure 1).
The licence was granted to Red Rock Resources plc in June 2007 and was
transferred to the Company in February 2008.
Apart from regional mapping and airborne geophysical surveys, no previous
exploration is known within the project area.
The radiometric anomalies occur over both Basement Complex rocks and over
younger clastic sediments that sit above and marginal to them. The younger
sediments are prospective for sediment-hosted redox uranium mineralisation
and the basement rocks for vein style U-Nb-Ta-REE mineralisation.
21
Work during 2009 noted an association between total count ground
scintillometer surveys and mineral sand deposits along the lake shore, and the
implication and potential of these occurrences is yet to be determined, pending
results of initial sampling.
The Company’s proposed exploration is a staged program similar to that
proposed for its Machinga Project.  It intends to initially concentrate on
exploration for sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation.  Further exploration will
be dependent upon results.
Please refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report, and Solicitor’s Report on
Malawian Tenements in Sections 8 and 10 respectively for further information
regarding the Company’s Malawian tenements.

6.5 Australian tenements

The locations of the Australian tenements are shown in Figure 2. Investors should
refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report and Solicitor’s Report on Australian
Tenements in Sections 8 and 10 respectively, in conjunction with the summary
below.

Figure 2: Location of the Company's Australian tenements

Northern Territory tenements

The Company has six projects within Australia’s Northern Territory. All are situated
along the main north-south Stuart Highway and railway line, within 300km of
22
Darwin, and they are within, or marginal to, the Paleoproterozoic Pine Creek
Geosyncline, which is richly endowed with uranium, gold, base metals, and iron
deposits.
A regional north-northwest trending shear zone, the Pine Creek Shear, passes
through the Company’s Edith River and Marrakai project areas. The shear zone is
spatially related to a number of major, million ounce plus, gold deposits.
The Company’s six projects are Edith River, Woolgni, Hayes Creek South, Daly
River Road, Marrakai and Celia.
The Company has completed data compilation and confirmation of priority
targets on all of its tenements in the Northern Territory. Field work will confirm
these, in anticipation of drilling the highest priority targets in 2010.

The Edith River Project (EL 23569, EL 23568, ELA 25884, EL 25885, EL 26219, EL 26220, EL 26341, ELA 27149) comprises eight contiguous Exploration Licences ( ELs )and applications approximately 230km south of Darwin, between Pine Creek and Katherine in the Northern Territory.

The project is at the southern end of the north-northwest trending Pine Creek
Shear Zone and the granite within the project area contains a number of shears
that have a similar orientation.  These shears are associated with occurrences of
uranium mineralisation, to the south of the Edith River, that were discovered by
prospectors in 1952 and have been relocated by RSL in 2008.
Small shafts have been sunk on the YMCA, Tennyson’s and Fergusson River
Prospects.  The YMCA and Tennyson’s Prospects were explored in the early
1950s. Two diamond drill holes were completed by into the YMCA Prospects. The
only available intersections, as measured by a downhole radiometric logging
tool, were reported to be 1.5m @ 1,000ppm eU3O8 at one prospect and 1m @
1,000ppm eU3O8 at the other.
The Company has commenced systematic exploration of the shear zones within
the Cullen Batholith for uranium mineralisation, initially through the application of
spectral imagery and field reconnaissance. Areas of iron-rich alteration and
associated uranium anomalism have been identified (Table 2) and will be
mapped in detail and surveyed with soil geochemistry, rock chip samples and
detailed ground radiometrics. Targets identified from these surveys will then be
drill-tested.

reliable, systematic chemical analysis)
In the southeast of the project area, the Burrell Creek Formation comprises the
southern-most portion of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, which, to the north, hosts
numerous gold deposits. While the main focus for the Company in the area is on
uranium, a small gold exploration program known as the Woolgni Project will be
undertaken.

The Woolgni Project (MLA 24342 & areas within the Edith River Project) lies within the Edith River Project. The tenement is situated near the southern extent of the

23
Pine Creek Geosyncline, in the vicinity of the Pine Creek Shear. The project
consists of three gold prospects: the historic Woolgni Goldfield, the Tower
Prospect, and the Copperfield South Prospect.
The gold potential of the Woolgni Project will be assessed in conjunction with the
uranium exploration program on the Edith River Project.
At the Tower Prospect a strongly gold-anomalous gossanous zone has never
been drill tested.  It is within the vicinity of, and parallel to, the Pine Creek Shear
Zone and must be considered a prime gold target.  In 1988, a reconnaissance
geochemical survey over the area uncovered gold mineralisation in three
trenches over a strike length of 600m.
The gold mineralisation in the old Woolgni workings has not been closed off
down dip, and the limits and orientations of known high-grade shoots have not
been tested.
The Copperfield South Prospect contains low-grade gold mineralisation within
the Woollybutt Anticline.  Parts of the anticline are beneath recent alluvial cover
and drainage sediment sampling has indicated other untested areas in the
vicinity.  Potential therefore exists for the discovery of further gold mineralisation
at the prospect.

The Marrakai Project (EL24614) is located to the east of the Adelaide River about 65km southeast of Darwin and 10km east of the Stuart Highway. It is situated at the northern end of the Pine Creek Shear Zone and is prospective for uranium and gold mineralisation. Despite the fact that it is only 15km from the Woodcutters Zn-Pb mine, 30km from the Rum Jungle Uranium and polymetallic mines, and along structural and stratigraphic strike from the major gold mines of the Pine Creek region, it has not been effectively explored.

Uranium mineralisation within the Rum Jungle Mineral Field to the southwest
occurs within Mount Partridge Group sediments, mainly within the Whites
Formation, which is a calcareous and carbonaceous, pyritic argillite. In general,
the uranium mineralisation is associated with shearing and brecciation. Within
the Marrakai project area, the Koolpin Formation, a pyritic carbonaceous shale,
is a similar unit and a potential host for similar mineralisation. The faults within the
area may have provided pathways for mineralizing fluids and the project is
within a region that hosts numerous uranium deposits and occurrences.
Initial uranium targets have been located by a radiometric survey. The proposed
exploration program recommends testing areas of the Koolpin Formation in the
vicinity of faults and fold axes for gold mineralisation, with priority being given to
the Ella Creek Member.
The location of the project area within the Pine Creek Shear Zone and the rock
units within it make it a prospective location for gold mineralisation. It is unlikely
that outcropping gold mineralisation has been missed. However, the faults, with
which gold mineralisation may be associated, are largely under alluvial cover,
much of which may have been derived from outside the tenement. A 2008 re-
assessment of previous exploration programs has concluded that stream
sediment sampling carried out by previous explorers is unlikely to have been
effective in the testing of these covered areas.
Exploration proposed includes field reconnaissance for uranium and gold.  All
three commodities will require shallow drill-based exploration, as many of the
24
target areas are beneath surficial cover.  Detailed geophysical data acquisition
may assist in locating prospective targets prior to drilling.

The Hayes Creek South Project (EL24432) is located to the southwest of the Stuart Highway and a few kilometres to the south of the Hayes Creek Roadhouse and Caravan Park. The tenement contains Paleoproterozoic sandstones that are unconformable over granitic rocks of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. It is a possible location of unconformity-related uranium mineralisation.

A positive feature of the project area is that it has not been subject to systematic
exploration.
Exploration proposed includes the ground checking and potential shallow drill
testing of radiometric anomalies in the southwest of the tenement area.

The Daly River Road Project (EL24391) is located immediately to the north of the Daly River Road, about 25km due south of Adelaide River. The tenement contains Cretaceous sediments that are unconformable over Paleoproterozoic sandstones of the Tolmer Group, which, in turn, overlie the Burrell Creek Formation of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. It is a possible location of unconformity-related or sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation and a discrete uranium channel anomaly is present in the radiometric data acquired from the regional radiometric survey. Possible trap sites may be associated with the unconformity between the Daly River Sandstone and the underlying Burrell Creek Formation.

It is proposed to determine the source of a uranium channel radiometric
anomaly in the southeast of the tenement by means of a detailed ground
radiometric survey, geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling and
possible early shallow drill-testing.

The Celia Project (ELA24414) is about 90km south of Darwin by road. It is located immediately to the north of the sealed Batchelor Road, 5km west of the Stuart Highway and 3km east of the town of Batchelor. It is situated over Palaeoproterozic sediments on the southeastern flank of the Rum Jungle Dome. It is prospective for uranium and polymetallic mineralisation and a magnesite deposit is present within the tenement, which, despite being only a few kilometres from the Rum Jungle uranium and polymetallic mines and the Woodcutters Zn-Pb mine, has been subject to little systematic exploration for minerals other than magnesite.

The lease was applied for by Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd. An agreement
with Orion is in place whereby it is to be transferred after grant. The ELA is within
Aboriginal Freehold Land and the consent of the owners is required before the
tenement can be granted and exploration can take place.  In November 2007,
the indigenous stakeholders in the area indicated that they would not consent
to the grant of the tenement. Unless the Northern Land Council indicates
otherwise, the tenement is consequently under moratorium for a maximum
period of five years until 12 June 2013.
No work is planned in the short term.

Western Australian tenements

The Lake Barlee Project comprises the uranium interests within E29/581, and exploration licence application number 29/721, situated in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia and about 140km northwest of the town Menzies. The

25
project area includes about 100km[2] of the Lake Barlee playa lake system. The
Company is exploring the area for calcrete-hosted uranium mineralisation.
Jupiter Mines Ltd is the owner of E29/581 and has entered into a co-existence
agreement with the Company whereby the Company has the right to explore
for and mine uranium on the tenement. Previous exploration within the
tenement located uranium mineralisation in shallow drilling in Cainozoic
sediments marginal to the lake.
The project is situated within the Lake Barlee drainage system in the eastern
portion of the Archaean Yilgarn Block, which comprises granites and folded
greenstone belts (figures 6 and 7).  Wide paleodrainage systems occupy
relatively shallow valleys, sometimes containing playa lakes.  Extensive areas of
calcrete development have occurred marginal to, and in channels leading to,
the playas. In the northeastern Yilgarn, many of these calcretes contain uranium
mineralisation, especially marginal to the playas, where a number of significant
uranium deposits are situated.
The tenement was previously explored for calcrete-hosted uranium between
1976 and 1979.  An airborne radiometric survey was carried out, grab and water
samples were collected, and thirty-six auger holes were drilled within the area of
the current tenement for a total of 481m.  The auger-hole locations, drilled over
uranium-channel radiometric anomalies, are shown on Figure 6.  Samples from
five of the holes are reported to have returned analyses between 100ppm and
120ppm U3O8.
During late 2007, the Company collected twenty-five surface and near-surface
samples from twelve locations near the junction of the southern arm of Lake
Barlee with the main drainage system, around the southern area drilled by
Uranerz in 1976.  The results of the sampling confirmed the presence of uranium
mineralisation within the surface sediments.  Values of between 100ppm and
300ppm U3O8 were obtained from four of the sample locations over a distance
of 400m, to depths of 60cm.  The results of this orientation survey confirmed that
surface sampling, and thus also radiometric surveys, are not definitive tools for
the location of even near-surface uranium mineralisation in the area.
Uranium mineralisation may also be present within the sub-surface older
sediments within the drainage system.
Systematic aircore drilling of the prospective areas within the tenement is
required. The initial priorities are to determine the depth, extent, and grade of
mineralisation within the vicinity of the two areas that have been highlighted by
previous work; and to carry out reconnaissance drilling over other prospective
areas.

Tasmanian tenements

The Specimen Reef Project consists of EL11/2005 situated in north-eastern Tasmania about 5km north-northeast of the Savage River Mine.

The tenement is currently held by Red Rock Resources and is subject to an
agreement with Walkabout Resources Pty Ltd (acquiring a 65% interest), an
entity that the Company understands will be planning an IPO based on a
project in the area including EL11/2005.  Red Rock Resources has entered into
an agreement with the Company pursuant to which it has agreed to transfer a
35% interest in the tenement to the Company and, subject to Walkabout
26
Resources Pty Ltd listing on ASX, it will free carry the first $10 million in expenditure
on the tenement.
The lease contains historic drilling reported to contain alteration zones and
veining associated with the old Specimen Reef workings, and an intersection of
0.2m @ 910g/t Au in a quartz-carbonate-brannerite vein.  Brannerite is a uranium
mineral, but no uranium assays were performed.

Qualifying statements

In the discussion of Machinga and Edith River, reference is made to grades of
“eU3O8”. This notation indicates “equivalent uranium”; it is a measure of the
uranium content extrapolated from radiometric results rather than from direct
chemical analysis. The gamma radiation measured by sensors and used to
calculate the equivalent U3O8 content is predominantly from the daughter
products of the uranium decay chain. When the mineralisation is in equilibrium,
the measurement of the gamma radiation from the daughter products is
representative of the uranium present.
The information in this Prospectus that relates to Exploration Results is based on
information compiled by Mr Richard Evans, who is a Member of The Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Evans is a full-time employee of the
Company and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of
27
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which
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”. Mr Evans consents to the inclusion in the
Prospectus of the matters based on this information in the form and context in
which it appears.
The statements made in this Prospectus which refer to ‘best results’ are
considered to be appropriate for use in this context for a number of reasons,
namely due to an unavailability of a range of results from historical work or the
impracticality of stating an entire range of results. Within all ore bodies there can
be a range of grades and no individual result during early exploration can
predict a likely mineable grade, but it can give some indication of the potential
of the area. The results presented in this Prospectus are done so in that context.

The Directors Resource Star Limited Level 9, 440 Collins Street Melbourne, VICTORIA 3000

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT

This report has been prepared by Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd (“CRM”), an independent geological consultancy established in 1989. The report has been prepared at the request of Resource Star Limited (“RSL” or “the Company”) to provide an independent geological assessment of the Company’s mineral exploration projects and proposed exploration programmes on those properties, which are located in Australia and in Malawi. This report has been provided for inclusion in a prospectus for the proposed re-listing of RSL (“Prospectus”) to be lodged by the Company with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, in connection with RSL’s proposed public offering of up to 9,500,000 million RSL shares at a price per share of 20c to raise $1.9 million (including oversubscriptions of up to 12.5 million RSL shares to raise up to an additional $2.5 million), and for the issue of 3,000,000 RSL shares to Red Rock Resources plc to satisfy loan and other contractual arrangements.

Within Australia, the Company has acquired interests in tenements in seven projects in the Northern Territory, one in Tasmania, and one in Western Australia. Within the East African nation of Malawi, the Company has acquired interests in three project areas.

The principal commodity sought is uranium, although the Woolgni Project contains gold mineralisation and gold, polymetallic mineralisation, and iron may also be present within the various projects. The agreements, status, and interests held by RSL in the properties are set out elsewhere in this Prospectus.

33

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

CRM’s assessment of the Tenements is based upon technical information provided by RSL. Reference has been made to other sources of information, published and unpublished, including government reports and reports prepared by previous title holders to the areas, where it has been considered necessary. Reference has also been made to selected mineral deposits not held by RSL, in order to illustrate the types of mineral commodities and styles of mineralisation present in the region. CRM has endeavoured, by making reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity and completeness of the technical data used in the preparation of this report and to ensure CRM had access to all relevant technical and other information.

It is the opinion of CRM that the properties described in this Prospectus are worthy of continued exploration and are located in areas where there is reasonable expectation for locating economic mineralisation. The programmes and budgets proposed for the projects are considered to be appropriate. The budgets are considered to be adequate to cover the cost of the proposed programmes and to meet statutory requirements in each instance. It is not possible to accurately determine the outcome of exploration and considerable variation to the proposed exploration programmes and budgets may be required as new data becomes available.

The statements contained in this report are given in good faith and have been derived from information believed to be reliable and accurate, and supplemented by our own investigations. We have relied upon this information and have no reason to believe that any material facts have been withheld from us. We do not imply that we have carried out any type of audit on the technical, accounting, or other records of RSL or that our assessment has revealed all of the matters which an audit or more extensive examination might disclose at the date of this report. This report was prepared by John Doepel, who visited RSL’s Northern Territory Projects during December 2007 and who has previously visited the region that contains RSL’s Lake Barlee project area.

CRM has given and has not at the time of lodgement of this Prospectus withdrawn its consent to the issue of the Prospectus with this report included in the form and context in which it appears.

Yours sincerely,

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the mineral exploration assets (“the Tenements”) of Resource Star Limited (“RSL”). The properties, which are located in Malawi and in Australia’s Northern Territory and its states of Western Australia and Tasmania, are primarily focused on uranium. Those in Malawi are also prospective for niobium, zircon, rare earths and associated elements, and some of the Northern Territory projects for gold mineralisation. The projects range in development from those with identified targets (the Machinga, Edith River, and Lake Barlee Projects) to prospective grass roots exploration projects.

RSL’s project locations are shown on Figures 1 and 2 and a summary of them is given in Table 1.

NORTHERN TERRITORY PROJECTS

RSL has five projects within Australia’s Northern Territory. All are situated within a few tens of kilometres of the main north-south Stuart Highway and are within 300km of Darwin (Figures 1 and 3). They are within, or marginal to, the Paleoproterozoic Pine Creek Geosyncline that is richly endowed with uranium, polymetallic, gold, and iron deposits.

==> picture [428 x 560] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 Northern Territory Projects – Geological setting

45

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

The Pine Creek Geosyncline consists of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks that overly a gneissic and granitic Archaean basement. The geosynclinal sequence is intruded by granitic plutons that are also of Paleoproterozoic age. The basement outcrops in two domes in the northwest of the region near the town of Batchelor. Uranium and polymetallic mineralisation is present within the Paleoproterozoic sediments in the vicinity of the domes, associated with major faults and shears. Dormant mines and deposits under development or exploration in the area include Woodcutters (Zn, Pb, Ag), Rum Jungle and Dysons (U), Whites and Mt Fitch (Cu, U), and Browns (Cu, Zn, Pb, Co, Ni).

The major Alligator Rivers Uranium Field that includes the Ranger, Narbarlek, and Jabiluka deposits is in the northeast of the Pine Creek Inlier. The smaller deposits of the South Alligator Valley Mineral Field are situated to the northeast of Pine Creek.

Iron ore mining has also taken place at Mt Bundey in the north of the geosyncline and is currently occurring at Frances Creek, in its central portion.

A regional north-northwest trending shear zone, the Pine Creek Shear, passes through RSL’s Edith River and Marrakai project areas (Figure 3). The shear zone contains a number of subparallel faults present within corridor that has a width of up to 5km. It postdates the granitic intrusions and is considered to have been a major locus for the passage of gold-bearing fluids. It is spatially related to a number of gold deposits.

EDITH RIVER PROJECT

Introduction

The Edith River Project consists of eight contiguous Exploration Licences (“ELs”), six of which are granted. They cover almost 1000km2 between Pine Creek and Katherine in the Northern Territory, approximately 230km south of Darwin (Figure 1). The tenements are situated at the southern end of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, in the vicinity of the Pine Creek Shear. The project includes a number of uranium and gold prospects.

Tenements and Agreements

The Edith River Project comprises six granted ELs and two applications for ELs (“ELAs”). A portion of one of the granted ELs has been applied for as a mining lease (“ML”). The licences and applications are variously held by Orion Exploration Pty Ltd (Orion); Eastbourne Exploration Pty Ltd (“Eastbourne”); Jupiter Uranium Pty Ltd (“Jupiter”); and Bluekebble Pty Ltd, Redstone Metals Pty Ltd, and Zircon international Pty Ltd (“BRZ”). Eastbourne and Orion are wholly owned subsidiaries of RSL. The mining lease application is in the name of Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd (“TCG”).

Agreements are in place whereby RSL is the beneficial holder of all of the tenements. Details are given in the solicitor’s report and are summarised in Table 3.

Portions of the project area are the subject of native title claims and aboriginal land rights agreements, details of which are given elsewhere in this Prospectus.

The historical workings within the mining lease application are subject to an area of Historical Exclusion, which has been accepted by RSL and which is currently with the Northern Territory Government for final approval. The location of the exclusion is shown on Figure 7.

Location and Access

The Edith River Project is located either side of the sealed Stuart Highway and the adjacent Alice Springs to Darwin railway. Its northern boundary is approximately 10km south of the town of Pine Creek, it has a north-south extent of approximately 50km, and its southern boundary is approximately 30km northwest of the town of Katherine. Access within the project area is mostly by pastoral tracks.

47

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Geological Setting

The Edith River Project is at the southern end of the Pine Creek Geosyncline (Figures 3 and 4). The project area is dominated by the southern portion of the granitic Cullen Batholith. The batholith is intrusive into metamorphosed shale, siltstone, and greywacke of the Burrell Creek Formation, pendants of which are present to the south of the Fergusson River in the central portion of the project area. The formation also covers portions of the north and southeast of the project area. Areas of Cambrian basalt and of Paleoproterozoic Edith River Group felsic volcanics are present within the centre and southeast of the project and Paleozoic and Paleoproterozoic sediments are in the northwest and south of the area.

URANIUM PROSPECTS

Introduction

The southern part of the Edith River Project contains a number of occurrences of uranium mineralisation (Figure 4) and regional radiometric surveys have identified uranium channel radiometric anomalies within its northern section (Figure 6).

Project Geology and Mineralisation

The project is at the southern end of the north-northwest trending Pine Creek Shear Zone and the granite within the project area contains a number of shears that have a similar northnorthwest orientation. These shears are associated with occurrences of uranium mineralisation, to the south of the Edith River, that were discovered by prospectors in 1952 (Figure 4). Occurrences to the east of the Stuart Highway were named the YMCA Prospects and six occurrences to the west were named the Tennyson’s Prospects. The Hore and O’Connors and Fergusson River occurrences are to the north of the Edith River. Three shafts were sunk to between 10m and 30m in depth into the YMCA Prospects and another shaft was sunk about 16km to the north-northwest at the Fergusson River Prospect.

The mineralisation is within steeply dipping north-northwest trending shear zones that are up to 100m in width and contain en-echelon quartz veining. The granite within the shear zones is greisenised and the quartz is locally brecciated and cemented by a brown apatite-haematitefluorite assemblage. Oxide zone uranium minerals are autunite, metaautinite, and torbernite.

Previous Exploration

The YMCA and Tennyson’s Prospects were explored by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (“BMR”) during 1952-1954. The shafts at the YMCA Prospects were sunk on breccias that were interpreted to occur at the intersection of shears and cross-fractures. Two diamond drill holes were completed by the BMR into each of two of the YMCA Prospects, for a total length of 315m. The only available reported historical intersections, as measured by a downhole radiometric logging tool, were 1.5m @ 1,000ppm eU3O8 at one prospect and 1m @ 1,000ppm eU3O8 at the other.

EL25885 was explored by NuPower Resources Ltd (“NuPower”) in joint venture with Jupiter during 2008. NuPower investigated weak radiometric anomalies in the northwest and southeast of the tenement that had been located by regional airborne survey. The anomalies were found to be in flat-lying, ferruginised sandstones of the Cambro-Ordovician Jindare Formation associated with lateritic weathering. Samples were collected sand analysed, but no significant uranium values were obtained.

Current Exploration

During 2006 Orion carried out a rock chip sampling programme over the Fergusson River U Prospect. An altered metasediment from within a small shaft at the site contained 2.7% Cu, 0.5g/t Au, and 158ppm U.

Samples of altered and sheared granite from the area of the YMCA Prospects were submitted to Roger Townend and Associates (“Townend”) for petrological examination. Townend reported that indications of hydrothermal alteration associated with possible uranium mineralisation were fine iron oxide (possibly haematite), sericite, and monazite containing

49

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

above average contents of uranium and thorium. He, however, noted that the low chlorite content was a negative feature.

Orion commissioned the geophysical consultants, AsIs International Pty Ltd (“AsIs”) to carry out a reinterpretation of exploration data over the Edith River project area, with an emphasis on the existing geophysical data. AsIs concluded that the area was highly prospective for uranium mineralisation, including vein, and Iron Oxide Copper Gold Uranium (“IOCGU”) deposit types. It also suggested that interpretation of aeromagnetic data could reveal structures and shears that may host gold and/or base metal mineralisation within the Cullen Batholith.

During 2008 RSL used high resolution satellite images to delineate structures and zones of significant alteration in the Cullen Granite. These were followed-up on the ground by reconnaissance geological mapping and radiometric surveys.

Results from the Tennysons Prospect were encouraging, with 40 outcrops returning spectrometer readings greater than 200ppm eU3O8. The results are summarised in Table 4, in which the results from similar exploration in the vicinity of the YMCA 2 mineralisation are given for comparison. Due to the method of collection of the data, the readings should not be taken as quantitative measurements of the uranium content of the outcrops sampled, but rather as a qualitative indication of the extent and level of mineralisation. Readings were taken with a gamma-ray spectrometer held against outcrops, which method results in the preferential sampling of resistant veins as against more weathered inter-vein material.

Table 4 Tennysons Prospect – Outcrop spectrometer readings

Prospect Number of Readings Readings Average Maximum
Readings >200ppm >500ppm Reading Reading
eU3O8 eU3O8 ppm eU3O8 ppm eU3O8
Tennysons 247 40 9 292 1522
YMCA 2 12 7 3 354 1210

The reconnaissance mapping revealed that the length, width, degree of iron alteration, brecciation, and quartz veining is visibly much stronger in the Tennysons prospect area than in the area of the YMCA Prospect. The areas of alteration are within deeply weathered, dark brown, coarse-grained granite. Intense iron alteration, multiple quartz veins, shearing, and breccia zones are present. Haematite and epidote alteration is present. Veins trend northnorthwest and northeast and have steep dips. Individual alteration zones are up to 20m wide and individual veins are up to a metre in thickness.

High spectrometer readings were returned from areas of intense iron alteration, quartz veining, shearing, and brecciation.

Exploration Potential

The project area is within the Pine Creek Geosyncline, a geological unit that is highly endowed with uranium mineralisation. Initial exploration within the south of the project area has identified a number of zones of alteration within granites. Both iron oxide and uranium alteration are present and there is potential for the presence of IOCGU mineralisation. The only drill-testing of these zones has been by two historical holes, both of which intersected mineralisation of the order of 1000eppm U3O8. Other parts of the project have not yet been systematically explored for uranium, but, as can be seen on Figure 6, a uranium channel radiometric map of the area, significant anomalies are also present both in the north and the northeast within granitic terrain.

51

Figure 6 Edith River Project – Uranium channel radiometric image

There is also potential for unconformity hosted uranium mineralisation in the west of the project area, near the base of the Tolmer Group sediments and for sediment hosted roll-front type mineralisation within suitable beds of either the Tolmer Group or the overlying Palaeozoic sandstones.

Proposed Exploration

RSL has begun the systematic exploration of the shear zones within the Cullen Batholith for uranium mineralisation. CRM recommends that this initial exploration of the Cullen Batholith by means of the identification and sampling of zones of alteration within it be continued. As good outcrop and only skeletal soil development is present over most of the prospective area, the application of spectral imagery should enable this to be done efficiently. The areas of alteration identified should be mapped in detail and surveyed with soil geochemistry and detailed ground radiometrics. Targets identified from these surveys should then be drill-tested.

GOLD PROSPECTS

Introduction

The Edith River Project contains three gold prospects and is prospective elsewhere within its area for other gold mineralisation. The historical Woolgni Goldfield is within the project area, which is approximately 200km south of Darwin in the Northern Territory (Figure 1). The tenements are situated near the southern extent of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, in the vicinity of the Pine Creek Shear (Figure 3). The three prospects are the Woolgni Prospect, the Tower Prospect, and the Copperfield South Prospect. The Tower Prospect has never been drill-tested. Within it, gold mineralisation was uncovered in three trenches over a strike length of 600m; however the known mineralisation is marginal to an excised portion of the tenement.

Geological Setting

The project area covers parts of the granitic Paleoproterozoic Cullen Batholith and areas of Burrell Creek Formation that occur to the north of the batholith and as a large pendant within it in the vicinity of the Fergusson River (Figure 4). The granite is intrusive into metamorphosed shale, siltstone, and greywacke of the Burrell Creek Formation. The granite and the metasediments are overlain by an outlier of felsic volcanics of the Palaeoproterozoic Edith River Group in the vicinity of Woolgni near the centre of the project area..

Woolgni Prospect

Mineralisation

Significant gold mineralisation is present at Woolgni, where two mineralised zones are present, each approximately 400m in length. The mineralisation is within pyritic quartz veins in silicified greywacke of the Burrell Creek Formation. The larger veins are of sub-economic grade over most of their lengths, but contain pods or shoots of higher grade material. The mineralised zones occur in two south dipping arcs and have been interpreted to be saddle reefs around the nose of a south-southeast plunging anticline (Figure 7).

Historical Mining

Alluvial gold mining commenced at Woolgni in 1897. Hard rock mining of rich quartz reefs followed, with two adits and a number of shafts being dug. Total production from the field is recorded as 3,840oz of gold, with the last production in 1905. Mining was concentrated on two lines of workings: Woolgni West and Woolgni East (Figure 7). A quantity of ore grading 3oz/ton was reported to have been obtained from the western lode, which had a width of 1.5m.

Figure 7 Woolgni Goldfield – Area of historical workings and drilling

Previous Exploration

The Woolgni Goldfield was explored by Zapopan NL (“Zapopan”) and its joint venture partners between 1987 and 1990. Initial exploration included the drilling of five diamond holes totalling 263m. The holes were drilled immediately under old mine workings. All holes intersected gold mineralisation. Zapopan also carried out a soil and rock chip sampling programme to the north across the Fergusson River.

Zapopan’s second programme, during 1988, included detailed mapping of the area of historical workings, and the excavation and systematic channel sampling of 17 costeans for a total length of 1050m. The costeans were dug across the quartz lodes. Mineralisation of a minimum grade of 0.5g/t Au occupied a total width of 128m within the 17 costeans.

A RC drilling programme of 26 holes for 1791m was also carried out. Drill intersections with a minimum grade of 0.5g/t Au totalled 152m from the 26 holes.

During 1989 and 1990 exploration was restricted to rock chip sampling over areas of the Burrell Creek Formation away from the main area of workings. No significant results were obtained.

Tower Prospect

In 1988, Hilltop Enterprises Pty Ltd (“Hilltop”) conducted a reconnaissance geochemical survey over the area to the east of the Woolgni workings, targeting outcropping siltstones and greywackes of the Burrell Creek Formation. Three areas showed anomalous gold values. The most significant of these, immediately to the west of the Stuart Highway and east of a

54

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

telecommunications tower, was named the Tower Prospect. Three individual samples, collected about 300m apart on a north-northwest line assayed 17.3g/t, 0.5g/t, and 1.1g/t Au. The samples were of gossanous metasediments.

Hilltop excavated and channel sampled nine widely spaced trenches over the prospect. The trenching confirmed the presence gold mineralisation. The northern gossanous zone was cut by two trenches 100m apart. An assay of 1m @ 26.2g/t Au was obtained from the northernmost trench and the same zone was uncovered 100m to the south in the adjoining trench. Three channel samples totalling 7.3m in length returned between 0.26g/t and 0.28g/t Au in another trench excavated 500m further south. The approximate locations of the costeans and all anomalous results are shown on Figure 8.

Copperfield South Prospect

The Copperfield South Prospect, in the north of EL 23569, is situated about 14km south of the township of Pine Creek and about 2km west of the Stuart Highway. Gold mineralisation is associated with sulphidic quartz saddle reefs in greywackes of the Burrell Creek Formation. The veining is concentrated along the crest of the Woollybutt Anticline, which trends 330o and plunges at approximately 40o to the northwest (Figure 9).

Previous Exploration

Gold Fields Exploration Pty Ltd (1986-1989)

Exploration within the prospect was begun in 1986 by Gold Fields Exploration Pty Ltd (“Gold Fields”), which had obtained gold anomalism within quartz veining associated with the anticlinal axis during a regional rock chip sampling survey. Gold Fields carried out:

9. Geological mapping and rock chip sampling over the rocks of the Burrell Creek Formation and the axial zone of the Woollybutt Anticline;

10. Excavation and sampling of 13 trenches totalling 1601m in length over the axial zone. Two areas of mineralisation were defined by the trenching:

56

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

  • Zones 2-B and 6-C. The zones contained increased quartz veining and wallrock alteration. The veining was predominantly of bedding-parallel “saddle reefs”. The alteration included pitting after pyrite and arsenopyrite, chloritisation, and silicification;

11. The drilling of 11 percussion holes for a total of 313m. The drilling indicated that within zone 6-C the gold mineralisation is confined to the western limb of the anticline. The two holes into this zone intersected 6m @ 0.6g/t and 10m @ 0.4g/t Au. Within Zone 2-B the mineralisation is more widespread, but is, in general, low-grade. Intersections >2g*m were 12m @ 1.45g/t, 17m @ 0.7g/t, 24m @ 0.4g/t, and 10m @ 0.3g/t Au in different holes;

12. The drilling of 250 shallow RAB holes for geochemical sampling. The drilling indicated a number of anomalies within Zone 2-B;

  • The drilling of 10 diamond holes for 829m which gave only one intersection above 1g/t (10m @ 1.1 g/t Au within Zone 2-B).

Rosequartz Mining NL (1990-1994)

From 1990 to 1994 Rosequartz Mining NL (Rosequartz) continued the exploration of the area around the Woollybutt Anticline. Its exploration comprised:

13. The collection and analysis of 17 bulk leach extractable gold (“BLEG”) drainage sediment samples. The sampling indicated an area of about 3km2 of gold-anomalism, situated approximately 1km to the north of the known Woollybutt Anticline mineralisation;

14. The soil sampling, with negative results, over the northern extension to the Woollybutt Anticline.

Current Exploration

During 2006 Orion carried out a rock chip sampling programme over the Woolgni Gold Prospect.

CRM has examined the drill and costean data from the area of the Woolgni workings and has reported that an Exploration Target of the order of 100,000t to 300,000t @ 2.0g/t to 3.0g/t Au is present down dip of the historical workings. It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a Mineral Resource on the property.

AsIs reviewed existing geophysical data and recommended that RSL acquire and interpret detailed low-level airborne magnetic data over the tenement area. In order to locate structures and shears that may host gold/base metal mineralisation within the Cullen Batholith and the Burrell Creek Formation.

Exploration Potential

The Pine Creek Geosyncline Burrell Creek Formation metasediments, situated in the north, centre, and southeast of the project area are worthy of further exploration for gold. The dormant Mt Todd Gold Mine is approximately 15km to the southeast of the Tower Prospect. A large-tonnage low-grade gold resource remains at the mine and a study is underway into the economics of reopening the mine and treatment facilities. It is conceivable that the treatment

57

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

facility could be available for treatment of gold mineralisation outlined by RSL within the Woolgni project area.

The gold mineralisation at the Woolgni Prospect has not been closed off down dip and the limits and orientations of known high-grade shoots have not been tested.

At the Tower Prospect a strongly gold anomalous gossanous zone has never been drill tested. It is within the vicinity of, and parallel to, the Pine Creek Shear Zone and must be considered a prime gold target. The prospect is, however, situated close to the boundary of the Stuart Highway easement and, until exploration is carried out over the prospect, it cannot be determined how much of the potentially mineralised zone is within the easement, which contains a mixture of land types. It is not clear at the moment what effect the easement would have on potential development.

The Copperfield South Prospect contains low-grade gold mineralisation within the Woollybutt Anticline. Parts of the anticline are beneath recent alluvial cover and drainage sediment sampling has indicated other untested areas in the vicinity. Potential therefore exists for the discovery of further gold mineralisation at the prospect.

Proposed Exploration

CRM recommends that RSL’s exploration programme should be designed to test the tenements for gold targets described above.

It proposes that, during the first year, RSL:

15. Compiles a detailed structural map and analysis of the Woolgni Goldfield, to determine the controls and disposition of the mineralisation;

16. Carries out a first-pass RAB programme over the Tower Prospect;

17. Carries out a geochemical sampling programme over the areas of Burrell Creek Formation in the centre the project area.

Exploration during the second year will be dependent upon earlier results. CRM anticipates that the programme should include:

18. Possible follow-up drilling of mineralised zones located by the previous year’s first pass drill programme at the Tower Prospect;

19. An electromagnetic (“EM”) survey over the Woolgni Prospect in order to locate sulphidic lodes;

20. Carries out a RC drill programme targeted at down dip and down plunge extensions to the known mineralisation at Woolgni and at conductors located by geophysical survey;

21. Either a geochemical RAB or aircore drill sampling programme over alluvial covered portions of the Woollybutt Anticline at the Copperfield South Prospect, or an EM survey over these portions of the anticline.

MARRAKAI PROJECT

Introduction

The Marrakai Project consists of one EL that covers 10km2. It is situated at the northern end of the Pine Creek Shear Zone and is prospective for uranium, gold, and iron mineralisation. Despite the fact that it is only 15km from the Woodcutters Zn-Pb mine, 30km from the Rum Jungle U and polymetallic mines, and along structural and stratigraphic strike from the major gold mines of the Pine Creek region, it has never been systematically explored.

Tenements and Agreements

The Marrakai Project comprises one EL, 24614, held by Orion. It was granted on 2/12/2005 for a period of six years. It has an area of 10km2. The minimum expenditure required during the current year is $10,000.

Location and Access

The Marrakai Project is located to the east of the Adelaide River about 65km southeast of Darwin and 12km east of the Stuart Highway. Access to the project area from the highway is by the formed but unsealed Marrakai Road and then by pastoral tracks across a clay soil plain. The project area contains area of low rocky rises and areas of clay soils. Access is straightforward during the dry season but difficult during the wet.

Project Geology

The project area is within the Paleoproterozoic Pine Creek Geosyncline, and contains sediments of the Finnis River Group, the South Alligator Group, and the Mount Partridge Group. Figure 10 includes a geological map of the project area. Outcrop occurs along low rises above a plain that contains areas of residual gravel and sand that comprise a Cainozoic duricrust surface and broad alluvium rich in black clays and silt. The alluvial areas in the west of the tenement are part of the Adelaide River flood plain and cover abandoned river channels. The large alluvial channel in the northeast drains a substantial area to the east.

The project area is situated at the northern end of the Pine Creek Shear Zone. A major northwest trending fault related to this zone passes through the tenement and a parallel fault is just to the south. Another regionally significant fault, the northeast trending Giants Reef Fault, is four kilometres to the northwest of the tenement. A number of smaller northeast to east-northeast trending faults dislocate the Proterozoic sequence, which is interpreted to comprise four fault separated blocks within the project area. The sequence is folded along north trending axes that are spaced about 750m apart and along which zones of brecciation and quartz veining have developed.

Figure 10 is a solid geology interpretation of the project with areas of alluvium and floodplain overlain. The Proterozoic geological succession is summarised in the legend. The majority of the units contain similar lithologies, which, in conjunction with the discontinuous outcrop, has led to varying interpretations of the geology within the project area.

Figure 10 Marrakai Project – Geological map & uranium channel radiometric image

Radiometric Image

Figure 10 incorporates a uranium channel radiometric image of the project area, processed from data collected by regional surveys flown at 200m line spacing and a height of 60m between 1987 and 1999. A north trending anomalous area is present in the south of the project area. It has a length of about 1.5km and a peak value of about 20ppm eU. Two smaller anomalies are present about one kilometre to the east. The larger anomaly is largely over an area of north draining alluvium that is surrounded by low rises of Gerowie Tuff and Koolpin Formation. High spots within the anomaly appear to be over outcrops of the Ella Creek Member of the Koolpin Formation. Koolpin Formation rocks also appear to be associated with the smaller anomalies to the east.

60

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Mineralisation

The only known mineralisation in the vicinity of the project area is the Marrakai Iron Prospect. Two north-trending gossanous iron-ore lenses are present on the flanks of an anticline within the Ella Creek Member of the Koolpin Formation. The lenses are stratabound and are interpreted to be formed by the enrichment of a siltstone horizon. The mineralisation is of goethite, haematite, and limonite, with quartz being the major gangue mineral.

Previous Exploration

Previous exploration within the project area has been carried out by Kakadu Resources Ltd (“Kakadu”) and Aztec Mining Company Ltd (“Aztec”).

Kakadu carried out geological mapping and collected about fifteen stream sediment BLEG samples and fifty rock chip samples between 1987 and 1990 from the present tenement area. The BLEG samples, although widely spaced, indicated the presence of anomalous gold in the area, by returning values up to 8ppb Au. The rock chip sampling returned results of 0.6g/t and 1.1g/t Au respectively from brecciated chert and a ferruginous lens in the Ella Creek Member of the Koolpin Formation. About 700m south of the tenement, a rock chip sample from the Koolpin Formation returned 2.0g/t Au.

Aztec explored the area from 1991 to 1993. It also carried out stream sediment and rock sampling (six stream sediment BLEG, about forty -40# stream sediment, and five rock samples were collected). No anomalous results were obtained.

Exploration Potential

The Marrakai Project is situated at the northern end of the Pine Creek Shear Zone and is prospective for uranium, gold, and iron mineralisation. It has never been systematically explored, despite the fact that it is only 15km from the Woodcutters Zn-Pb mine, 30km from the Rum Jungle U and polymetallic mines, is within the Pine Creek Shear zone, and contains the same stratigraphy and structures as the major gold mines of the Pine Creek region.

Uranium

The project area is also prospective for uranium mineralisation. The mineralisation within the Rum Jungle Mineral Field to the southwest occurs within Mount Partridge Group sediments, mainly within the Whites Formation, which is a calcareous and carbonaceous, pyritic argillite. In general, the uranium mineralisation is associated with shearing and brecciation. Within the Marrakai project area, the Koolpin Formation, a pyritic carbonaceous shale, is a similar unit and a potential host for similar mineralisation. The faults within the area may have provided pathways for mineralizing fluids and the project is within a region that hosts numerous uranium deposits and occurrences.

The uranium anomalies depicted on Figure 10 are within an area of the tenement that contains Koolpin Formation rocks. The anomalies can be considered to have located a target area that has the potential to contain significant uranium mineralisation.

Gold

The location of the project area within the Pine Creek Shear Zone and the rock units within it make it a prospective location for gold mineralisation. It is unlikely that outcropping mineralisation has been missed, as quartz veined and brecciated outcrops have been sampled

61

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

by previous explorers. However, the stream sediment sampling that was carried out is unlikely to have been effective in the testing of the area, as outcrop only covers less than half of the tenement, the drainage is poorly defined, and the sample density was low. In addition, the faults, with which gold mineralisation may be associated, are largely under alluvial cover, much of which is likely to have been derived from outside the tenement.

The iron and sulphide rich composition of the Koolpin Formation makes it a favourable host for gold mineralisation. The other formations within the project area are also prospective, the Wildman Siltstone being the host formation at the Toms Gully Mine, the Mount Bonnie Formation the host at the Woolwonga deposit, and some of the Brocks Creek-Zapopan deposits are described as being within or marginal to the Gerowie Tuff.

Locally, the Maureen and Maureen Extended gold prospects, which are respectively located 7km and 10km to the south of the project area, are within the Koolpin Formation.

Iron-ore

The outcropping iron mineralisation to the west of the tenement is of sub-economic grade, but apart from the collection of a few surface samples, no exploration of the occurrence, or of the Ella Creek Member within which it occurs, has taken place. The Ella Creek Member crops out as siliceous and ferruginous breccias. Where it is fresh and unaltered it is interpreted to comprise pyritic black shales and cherts. There is potential for the formation of economic iron-ore mineralisation within it, particularly in the vicinity of fault zones and fold axes, where hydrothermal alteration of the iron-rich unit may have formed significant deposits.

Mineralisation within the Frances Creek iron-ore field to the southeast is interpreted to have formed by alteration of similar stratigraphy in a similar setting. The field contains more than fifty separate deposits over a distance of approximately 35 kilometres. The haematitegoethite-limonite mineralisation occurs as alteration of the Wildman Siltstone within fault breccias and fold axial locations.

The Ella Creek Member, which has an interpreted strike length of over 5km within the Marrakai project area, is the most prospective unit for enrichment within the area, but other units also contain horizons that could be subject to iron alteration. For instance, the Wildman Siltstone, which is the host formation at Frances Creek, is also present within the tenement. Prospective locations include the faults and fold axes within the tenement. As many of these locations are beneath surficial cover, drilling, possibly targeted by geophysical exploration, will be required to systematically explore the project.

Proposed Exploration

CRM proposes that systematic exploration be conducted over the Marrakai Project for uranium, gold, and iron ore mineralisation. All three commodities will require drill based exploration, as many of the target areas are beneath surficial cover.

Initial uranium targets have been located by the radiometric survey. The faults and fold axes should be explored for gold mineralisation and areas of the Koolpin Formation in the vicinity of faults and fold axes should be tested for iron mineralisation, with priority being given to the Ella Creek Member. Geophysical interpretation of the existing 200m spaced aeromagnetic data may be adequate to locate minor fault and shear zones that splay off the major faults, but the acquisition of more detailed data should be considered, especially as the project area is relatively small and the lack of topographical relief should enable high quality low level acquisition.

HAYES CREEK SOUTH PROJECT

Introduction

The Hayes Creek South Project consists of an EL that contains Paleoproterozoic and Palaeozoic sandstones that are unconformable over granitic rocks of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. It is a possible location of unconformity related, fault related, and redox front related uranium mineralisation.

Tenements and Agreements

The Hayes Creek South Project comprises one EL, 24432, held by Orion. It was granted on 2/12/2005 for a period of six years. It has an area of 63.4km2. The minimum expenditure required during the current year is $10,000.

Location and Access

The project is located to the southwest of the Stuart Highway and a few kilometres to the south of the Hayes Creek Roadhouse and Caravan Park. It is within the Douglas Pastoral Lease. Access to the project area is via station roads that eventually join the old Stuart Highway to the west of Hayes Creek. Access over most of the tenement is straightforward by means of a number of station tracks.

Project Geology

The project area covers a portion of the southwestern margin of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, rocks of which crop out to the west, north and east of the tenement (Figure 3). The southeastern section of the tenement contains shallow to moderately dipping clastic sediments, predominantly sandstones of the Paleoproterozoic Tolmer Group. They are overlain by shallow dipping Cambrian sediments. The geological succession within the area is summarised in the legend to Figure11, which contains a geological map of the area.

The broad geology of the area is controlled by four structures:

22. An arcuate fault in the west that forms the boundary between the Tolmer Group sediments to its east and the stratigraphically-lower Fenton granite to its west. Adjacent to the fault the Tolmer Group rocks dip at a moderate to steep angle away from it;

23. A shallow south-southwest plunging syncline that folds the Tolmer Group sediments; 24. Two northwest trending faults that dislocate both the Tolmer Group and the Cambrian sediments.

Figure 11 Hayes Creek South Project – Geological map & uranium channel radiometric image

Radiometric Image

Figure 11 incorporates a uranium channel radiometric image of the project area, which is located at the junction of three separate regional airborne surveys. The image displays a northwest trending line of low-level anomalies in the southwest of the project area that have a peak value of about 14ppm eU against a background of about 3ppm eU. The line of anomalies is about two kilometres in length and is coincident with the interpreted position of the arcuate fault that, further north, abuts the basement granite against the Tolmer Group sandstones. The area of interest is covered with surficial sands and clays. The anomaly may extend further to the southeast, as the poorer quality radiometric survey data in this area may not have distinguished it from the background.

A less intense anomalous zone is shown about 1.8km to the northeast of the anomalous line and parallel to it. The image also shows that the granitic basement to the northeast of the tenement has a relatively high background uranium content compared to the sediments within the project area.

Previous Exploration

No systematic exploration has been reported from the tenement area.

Exploration Potential

The project area has potential to contain uranium mineralisation. It is marginal to the Pine Creek Inlier, which contains the high-grade unconformity-related deposits of the Alligator

64

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Rivers Uranium Field and the Rum Jungle Mineral Field. It contains Paleoproterozoic sandstones and quartzites that are unconformable on basement granite with relatively high background uranium content. The granite is a potential source of uranium. The sandstones are cut by a number of steep angle faults that may have acted as conduits for uranium bearing fluids. The sandstones are, in turn, unconformably overlain by Cambrian sediments. Trap sites for uranium mineralisation may be present within and adjacent to the unconformities and the faults.

A positive feature of the project area is that it has not been subject to systematic exploration. Encouragement in the prospectivity of the area for uranium has been given by recent exploration results by Thundelarra Exploration Ltd at its Thunderball Prospect that is 12km to the northeast; and by Haddington Resources Ltd at its Shoobridge Project that is 20km to the northwest.

Proposed Exploration

CRM recommends that exploration to be undertaken within the project area should include the ground checking of the radiometric anomalies in the southwest of the tenement area.

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

DALY RIVER ROAD PROJECT

Introduction

The Daly River Road Project consists of an EL containing Cretaceous sediments that are unconformable over Paleoproterozoic sandstones of the Tolmer Group, which, in turn, overlie the Burrell Creek Formation of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. It is a possible location of unconformity related uranium mineralisation and a discrete uranium channel anomaly is present in the radiometric data acquired from the regional radiometric survey.

Tenements and Agreements

The Daly River Road Project comprises one EL, 24391, held by Orion. It was granted on 2/12/2005 for a period of six years, and has an area of 10km2. The minimum expenditure required during the current year is $35,000. The project area is the subject of two registered native title claims, details of which are given elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Location and Access

The Daly River Road Project is located immediately to the north of the Daly River Road, about 25km due south of Adelaide River. Access to the project area is via the sealed old Stuart Highway and Daly River Road. Cretaceous rocks form a mesa that covers the central portion of the project area and access across it is by a number of tracks and cleared lines.

Project Geology

The project area covers a portion of the southwestern margin of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, rocks of which crop out in the east of the tenement (Figures 3 and 12). The northeastern and northwestern sections of the project area contain shallow dipping clastic sediments, predominantly sandstones of the Paleoproterozoic Tolmer Group and the southwestern section contains shallow dipping Cambrian sediments. The Petrel Formation, a sub-horizontal silty sandstone of Cretaceous age, covers the older rocks in the central portion of the tenement, forming a mesa. The geological succession within the area is summarised in the legend to Figure12, which contains a geological map of the area.

Figure 12 Daly River Road Project – Geological map & uranium channel radiometric image

Radiometric Image

Figure 12 incorporates a uranium channel radiometric image of the project area, processed from data collected by regional surveys flown at 200m line spacing and a height of 60m between 1987 and 1999. A discrete anomaly that has a length of about 500m and a peak value of about 25ppm eU is present in the southeast of the project area. The anomaly is derived from Cretaceous sediments, which have background values between about 2 and 12ppm eU.

Mineralisation

Iron oxide rich clays that contain concentrations of goethite and haematite ironstone occur within the Cretaceous Petrel Formation. The ironstones outcrop within gullies incised into the formation along the western edge of the mesa that is capped by it. Drill-holes that tested the western portion of the mesa intersected lenses of goethite, hematite, lepidocrocite, and limonite mineralisation.

Previous Exploration

The iron mineralisation was explored by Wandaroo Mining Corp. Ltd (“Wandaroo”) in 196768 by rock chip sampling and the drilling of ten percussion holes for a total of 123m through the Cretaceous Petrel Formation. Three of the holes intersected intervals of haematite or goethite mineralisation grading >40% Fe.

During 1970 Kratos Uranium NL carried out further rock chip sampling and drilled fifteen vertical diamond drill holes for 225m on an incomplete 300m spaced grid over the same area

67

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

that was drilled by Wandaroo. Intersections of mineralisation grading >45%Fe over a minimum length of one metre were made in only four holes, with one intersection being 3.4m @ 48% Fe from a depth of 11m. The intersections were over a north-south length of 600m and averaged 2.4m in thickness at an average depth below surface of 8.5m. CRM does not consider that these results indicate potential for significant iron ore mineralisation.

Exploration Potential

Similarly to the Hayes Creek South Project, the Daly River Road project area has the potential to contain uranium mineralisation. Possible trap sites may be associated with the unconformity between the Daly River Sandstone and the underlying Burrell Creek Formation.

Proposed Exploration

CRM recommends that the uranium channel radiometric anomaly in the southeast of the tenement be investigated, initially by means of a detailed ground radiometric survey, geological mapping, and soil and rock chip sampling, which, depending upon the results, should be followed by first pass drill testing.

CELIA PROJECT

Introduction

The Celia Project consists of one ELA that covers 12.9km2. It is situated over Palaeoproterozic sediments on the southeastern flank of the Rum Jungle Dome. It is prospective for uranium and polymetallic mineralisation and a magnesite deposit is present within the tenement. The project area, despite being only a few kilometres from the Rum Jungle U and polymetallic mines and the Woodcutters Zn-Pb mine, has been subject to little systematic exploration for minerals other than magnesite.

Tenements and Agreements

The Celia Project comprises one ELA, 24414, applied for by Tennant Creek Gold (NT) Pty Ltd, with an area of 12.9km2. The rights to the tenement were passed to Orion and an agreement is in place whereby they are to be transferred after grant. The ELA is within Aboriginal Freehold Land and the consent of the owners is required before the tenement can be granted and exploration can take place. In November 2007 the indigenous stakeholders in the area indicated that they would not consent to the grant of the tenement and, unless RSL is notified to the contrary by the Northern Territory Land Council, the tenement is consequently under moratorium for a five year period. No expenditure is required while the tenement remains an application.

Location and Access

The Celia Project is about 90km south of Darwin by road. It is located immediately to the north of the sealed Batchelor Road, 5km west of the Stuart Highway and 3km east of the town of Batchelor. Access within the tenement is not developed, but would not be difficult.

Project Geology

The project area is situated in the northwest of the Paleoproterozoic Pine Creek Inlier. It covers sediments of the lower section of the Paleoproterozic sedimentary sequence and a small section of the Archaean basement. It is on the southeast flank of the Rum Jungle Dome, away from which the sedimentary sequence dips at angles of about 50o to 60o. The geological succession within the area is summarised in the legend to Figure13, which contains a geological map of the area.

Figure 13 Celia Project – Geological map & uranium channel radiometric image

Radiometric Image

Figure 13 incorporates a uranium channel radiometric image of the project area, processed from data collected by regional surveys flown at 200m line spacing and a height of 60m between 1987 and 1999. A significant feature is the line of anomalies in the south of the tenement that are coincident with the location of a shear within the Crater Formation. The line is about three kilometres in length and the highest value is about 20ppm eU compared to background values over the formation of 2 to 8ppm eU. Less intense anomalies are present within the Beetsons Formation, coincident with another mapped shear. The radiometrically high area in the northwest corner of the tenement is over the granitic basement, which has relatively high background levels of uranium. Exploration of this area is of lower priority.

Mineralisation

Magnesite

The Celia Dolomite contains areas of magnesite. The Winchester Deposit, within the Coomalie Dolomite to the south of EL24414, has been explored by Mt Grace Resources NL, which estimated an Indicated Resource of 12.2Mt @ 43% MgO within the deposit.

Gold

A small abandoned gold working (Batchelor) is associated with a shear in sandstone of the Crater Formation. Surface mining of a vertical north striking quartz-tourmaline vein is reported to have produced 12oz of gold from only 0.6t of ore. Of interest is the location of

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

the working, which is within the bedding parallel shear zone. Other small quartz-tourmaline veins are present nearby.

Radioactive minerals

The Crater Prospect, over a radiometric anomaly about one kilometre to the west of the tenement, was tested by a BMR diamond drill-hole in 1970. The hole intersected disseminated mineralisation within a haematitic quartz pebble conglomerate in the Crater Formation. The radioactivity was ascribed to a disseminated thorium bearing phosphate mineral. The maximum value obtained by analysis of the core was 0.12% thorium. The mineralisation was interpreted to be placer in origin. Associated minerals are rutile and zircon.

Previous Exploration

Previous exploration within the project area has been carried out by BHP between 1978 and 1983, Nicron Resources Ltd from 1990 to 1993, and R.M. Biddlecombe from 1992 to 1995.

BHP mapped and chip sampled outcrops of magnesite within the Celia Dolomite and drilled sixteen percussion holes along two traverses across the unit. It also drilled twenty diamond holes on a detailed 100m by 50m grid to obtain core samples that were subjected to flotation, calcining, and sintering testwork, the results of which indicated that a high density low silica magnesite brick suitable for refractory purposes could be produced from the rock.

Nicron carried out mapping, RC and RAB drilling of the magnesite deposit. It estimated an Inferred Resource of 0.5Mt of magnesite to be present within one section of it. The resource was to 40m depth and averaged 3.0% insoluble residue with a Ca/Mg ratio of <0.03. It was defined on the basis of Nicron’s four RC drill-holes that were drilled into an area of low-silica sub-crop. Twenty RAB holes were drilled on a 50m grid around the area of the resource, but intersected karst fill or poor quality magnesite. The testwork concluded that the magnesite is suitable for suspension flash calcining.

Biddlecombe tested mullock from the small, abandoned Batchelor Gold Mine, which exploited a quartz-tourmaline vein to a depth of about 10m over a length of about 10m and a width of about 2m. He reported grades of over 10oz/t Au from mineralised mullock. He also collected twenty-six rock-chip and twenty loam samples, primarily along strike from the mine, but did not obtain any significant results.

Exploration Potential

The project area has the potential to host significant mineralisation and contains a deposit of magnesite. The project is within a region that is richly endowed with a variety of metals including U, Pb, Zn, Ag, Cu, Co, Ni, Au, and Mg; and indications of mineralisation are present in and around the application area. Despite this, it has only been exposed to cursory exploration for metals other than magnesium – presumably on the basis that the larger known deposits in the region are within formations higher in the sedimentary sequence than those within the project area.

Obvious targets within the tenement are the shear zones within the Beestons and Crater Formations. Uranium channel radiometric anomalies are coincident with their outcrop. Uranium mineralisation may be present within or adjacent to the shear zones. Of interest also is the gold mineralisation associated the shear at the Batchelor gold prospect. The quartz vein associated gold may have been remobilized from extensive low-grade mineralisation

71

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

associated with the shear zone. Of further interest is the haematitic alteration apparently present within the shear zone at the Crater Prospect to the west of the tenement.

There is also potential for gold mineralisation to be present within the Celia Dolomite. The abandoned Sundance gold mine to the south of the tenement is within the lithologically similar Coomalie Dolomite. The mineralisation at Sundance is within pipe-like structures that, in the oxide zone widen to form silicified haematite quartz breccias. Mineralisation in the primary zone is present as auriferous pyrite within an envelope of talc alteration. The 17,800t of ore mined had a grade of 10.7g/t Au and contained up to 930ppm Sn. Elevated Ag, As, Ba, Bi, and B are associated with the mineralisation. If similar mineralisation is present within the Celia Dolomite, it should be able to be located by geochemical or geophysical prospecting.

Proposed Exploration

No exploration is proposed for the Celia Project while it remains under moratorium in the application stage. CRM recommends that, after grant, RSL’s first priority should be to systematically test the bedding parallel shear zones with a combination of ground radiometrics and soil geochemistry, to be followed by first pass drilling.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PROJECT

RSL is exploring its Lake Barlee Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia for calcrete hosted uranium mineralisation. The project is situated within the Lake Barlee drainage system in the eastern portion of the Archaean Yilgarn Block, which comprises granites intrusive into folded greenstone belts. These basement rocks have been subject to extensive weathering and peneplanation. Wide paleodrainage systems occupy relatively shallow valleys that drain the region towards the southeast (Figure 14). The central portions of the valleys are covered by playa lakes. Extensive areas of calcrete development have occurred marginal to, and in channels leading to, the playas.

Within the northeastern Yilgarn many of these calcretes contain carnotite uranium mineralisation, especially marginal to the playas, in which locations a number of uranium deposits are situated. Deposits in which resources have been identified include Yeelirrie, Lake Maitland, Lake Way,, and, down drainage from Lake Barlee, Lake Raeside.

LAKE BARLEE PROJECT

Introduction

The Lake Barlee Project, in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, consists of a granted EL and an application for another that includes about 100km2 of the Lake Barlee playa lake system. Previous exploration within the tenements located uranium mineralisation within Cainozoic sediments marginal to the lake. RSL has entered into a Joint Venture (“JV”) agreement by which it has acquired the right to explore for and mine uranium on the tenement.

Tenements and Agreements

The Lake Barlee Project comprises the uranium interests within E29/581 and ELA29/721. E29/581 is held by Broadgold Corporation Pty Ltd (“Broadgold”), which has entered into a Co-Existence Agreement with RSL, whereby RSL has acquired the right to explore for and mine uranium on the tenement. ELA29/721 has been applied for by Orion, a wholly owned subsidiary of RSL. Tenement details are summarised in Table 5.

Table 5 Lake Barlee Project – Tenement summary

Tenement Area Holder Beneficial Grant Term Annual
(km2) Holder Date (years) Commitment
E29/581 104.8 Broadgold RSL* 8/03/06 5 NA
ELA29/721 180.4 Orion RSL Application 5 NA
Total 285.2
  • Uranium interest only

The annual exploration commitment on E29/581 is required to be met by Broadgold, which is currently exploring the tenement for other minerals and which is responsible for maintaining the tenement in good standing.

The project area is the subject of a registered native title claim, details of which are given elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Location and Access

The project area is situated about 140km northwest of the town Menzies in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Access to the area is by the formed Menzies to Sandstone road that passes through the tenement. Access in areas marginal to the playa lakes is straightforward except after rain, but vehicular travel on the lake surfaces can be difficult.

Project Geology

The basement geology of the project area consists of Archaean greenstone rocks that are in belt that strikes north through the centre of the tenement. The belt is flanked, both to the east and the west, by Archaean granitoids that are intrusive into it. The greenstones include metamorphosed BIF, basalt, dolerite, and ultramafic rocks.

The Cainozoic geology of the area is dominated by Lake Barlee, a playa lake that is within a broad sediment filled valley. Surficial and underground waters enter the tenement from the west and the south and drain from it to the east (Figure 15). Typically, these large eastdraining valleys contain Tertiary sands, silts, and clays beneath more recent saline muds. The

74

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

channels leading into them contain calcrete deposits. Aeolian dunes are also present marginal to the lakes, especially on their eastern sides.

Previous Exploration and Mineralisation

The tenement was explored for calcrete hosted uranium by Uranerz (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Uranerz”) between 1976 and 1979. Uranerz carried out an airborne radiometric survey, collected grab and water samples, and drilled thirty-six auger holes within the area of the current tenement for a total of 481m. The auger-hole locations, drilled over uranium-channel radiometric anomalies, are shown on Figure 15. Samples from five of the holes returned analyses between 100ppm and 120ppm U3O8.

Figure 16 is a uranium channel radiometric image of the project area derived from airborne geophysical surveys. The higher values coincide with the central and eastern portion of Lake Barlee that is within ELA29/721.

Current Exploration

During late 2007, RSL collected twenty-five surface and near-surface samples from twelve locations near the junction of the southern arm of Lake Barlee with the main drainage system, around the southern area drilled by Uranerz in 1976. The results of the sampling confirmed the presence of uranium mineralisation within the surface sediments.

Values of between 100ppm and 300ppm U3O8 were obtained from four of the sample locations over a distance of 400m. The average value of the four samples from these locations, collected at depths of between 40cm and 60cm, was 230ppm U3O8. Surface samples collected from the same locations however, contained an average of only 13ppm U3O8, which indicates that surface sampling, and thus also radiometric surveys, are not definitive tools for the location of even near surface uranium mineralisation in the area.

76

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Exploration Potential

The project area has the potential to contain significant calcrete hosted uranium mineralisation. It is situated in a region within which a number of similar deposits are located, it contains extensive areas of calcrete, and limited drilling and sampling has indicated the presence of uranium mineralisation. Although the auger drilling returned only relatively low levels of uranium mineralisation within the near surface sediments, two things need to be considered. The first is that only a small section of the prospective near-surface calcareous sediments was tested. The second is that, although the most intense portions of the airborne radiometric anomaly were drill-tested, radiometric surveys only indicate the presence of atsurface mineralisation and do not reveal sub-surface mineralisation. The results obtained from the drilling and from sampling by RSL are positive, as they indicate that the area does contain uranium mineralisation.

Uranium mineralisation may also be present within the sub-surface older sediments within the drainage system. Underground water carrying dissolved uranium through aquifers may have deposited mineralisation at a redox boundary or within organic rich units in the sediments.

The high prospectivity of the Lake Barlee drainage channel has been demonstrated at McPherson’s Bore, where, about 10km along the Lake Barlee drainage system to the northeast of the tenement, Encounter Resources Limited explored a uranium anomaly associated with a near surface zone of calcrete and calcareous sediments.

Proposed Exploration

CRM recommends that RSL carries out systematic aircore drilling of the prospective areas within the tenement. Its initial priorities are to determine the depth, extent, and grade of mineralisation within the vicinity of the two areas that have been highlighted by previous work; and to carry out reconnaissance drilling over other prospective areas.

77

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

TASMANIAN PROJECT

RSL has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a 35% interest and other rights under joint venture arrangements in relation to the Specimen Reef Project in northwest Tasmania, a region that is well endowed with polymetallic mineralisation and deposits (Figure 17). Major deposits include Mt Lyell (Cu, Au), Zeehan (Pb, Ag, Zn and Sn), Henty (Au, Ag), Roseberry (Zn, Cu, Au, Pb, Ag), Que River (Zn, Cu, Pb, Ag, Au), and Hellyer (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag, Au). The project area is within the Arthur Metamorphic Complex (“AMC”), immediately to the north of the Savage River magnetite mine.

SPECIMEN REEF PROJECT

Introduction

The Specimen Reef Project, in the northwest of Tasmania, consists of one Exploration Licence (EL) that contains a strike length of more than ten kilometres of the prospective AMC. Previous exploration within the tenement located gold/uranium mineralisation in veining within a zone of alteration.

Tenements and Agreements

The Specimen Reef Project comprises EL 11/2005 in Tasmania. It was granted for the term of five years from the 12th May 2006 and is for Metallic Minerals and Atomic Substances. It has an area of 71km2 and an expenditure commitment for the year to 12th May 2010 of $95,124 and of $71,000 for the subsequent year. Rental for the year from 12th May 2010 is $2,929. The Savage River Mine pipeline corridor, which is about 50m wide, is excised from the tenement.

The tenement is held by Regency Resources Ltd (“Regency”) and an agreement is in place whereby it will be transferred to Red Rock Resources. Red Rock Resources plc (“Red Rock”), has entered into a Letter Agreement with the purpose of concluding a Joint Venture (“JV”) agreement with Walkabout Resources Pty Ltd (“Walkabout”), by which Walkabout would sole fund the first ten million dollars of expenditure on the tenement to earn a 65% interest. Under the proposed terms of the JV, Walkabout would manage the exploration and keep the tenement in good standing. Red Rock and RSL have agreed to a transfer process of the remaining 35% with the intention that RSL will be assigned all rights and obligations under the Joint Venture agreement from Red Rock. Further details of the agreements are given in the Solicitor’s report elsewhere in the Prospectus.

Location and Access

The project area is situated about 70km southwest of the port town of Burnie. By road the distance is about 125km. Vehicle access to the tenement is limited to a single formed unsealed road that services the pipeline that carries iron-ore slurry to port facilities on the north coast. Permission to use this road is required from the operator of the Savage River Mine, which is situated immediately to the south. The project area is totally covered by dense native forest (the area is within State Forest) and is subject to high seasonal rainfall. The Pipeline Road follows a ridge at an elevation of about 450m. The ground to the west of the road is dissected and falls to as low as 250m (Figure 18).

Regional Geology

The project area covers that portion of the Arthur Metamorphic Complex (“AMC”) immediately to the north of the Savage River iron deposit. The complex is also known as the Arthur Lineament. It is an elongate zone that has been subject to multiphase metamorphism, tectonism, alteration, and veining (Figure 20). The central portion of the complex strikes north-northeast along the centre of the project area. Alteration was especially intense to the south of the tenement at Savage River, where iron deposits formed within the zone as the result of hydrothermal alteration. The deposits are shown as a magnetic high on Figure 19, an aeromagnetic image of the area. The north-northeast trending highs that extend through the tenement indicate the location of the complex.

The original rock units within the complex were of Neoproterozoic age and have been interpreted to include basaltic volcanoclastics and/or lithic arenites, dolerite, and dolomite. Low grade regionally metamorphosed Neoproterozoic clastic, sediments, basalts, and dolomite are present, and strike parallel to the complex, both to its west and east. Cambrian mafic and ultramafic rocks are to the southeast of the project area and have been prospected and mined for platinum group elements and base metals.

Figure 20 Specimen Reef Project – Geological map

Structurally, the area is dominated by north-northeast trending faults. Dips within the AMC vary from steep towards the west to moderate to steep towards the east. Within the Savage River Mine, mapping has revealed the presence of multiple-stage and mineralogically complex veins, fault breccias, and mylonites.

Mineralisation

Alteration and mineralisation within the Savage River mine area has been studied in detail and it is proposed that related alteration and mineralisation extend north within the AMC into EL11/2005. Hydrothermal alteration is mainly characterised by the occurrence of carbonate, albite, epidote, tourmaline, and chlorite. The ore mineralogy consists of magnetite and pyrite, with minor haematite, chalcopyrite, and apatite. Alluvial and vein gold is found within the AMC, including within RSL’s tenement, and brannerite, a uranium mineral, has been reported from a section of drill-core from the Specimen Reef Prospect.

Mining

Magnetite mineralization was discovered at Savage River in 1887, but for many years, interest in the area centered on its copper and gold potential of the area.

Specimen Reef is within an area of historical gold mining that included both hard rock workings (Specimen Reef, Davis Creek, and McPhee’s) and alluvial workings along Specimen Creek. Active mining ceased about 1900. The Specimen Reef workings included two adits and six tunnels. The reef, which strikes northeast and dips at about 45o to the southeast, is at least 450m in length. The worked portion of the reef consisted of white quartz, siderite, and pyrite with some visible gold and minor chalcopyrite. Shoots of high grade auriferous quartz, up to 48m long, 1m wide, and 60m deep, plunged downdip.

Production commenced at the Savage River iron mine in 1966 and the operator’s latest feasibility study indicates a mine life to 2023.

Exploration History

The most comprehensive exploration of the area has been by government agencies, Industrial Mining Investigations Pty Ltd (“IMI”), and Savage Resources Ltd (“Savage Resources”). From the 1950’s until 1978 exploration was solely for iron ore, with the main magnetite deposits being defined before 1966.

IMI and Savage Resources subsequently expanded the search to include base metals, gold, magnesite and diamonds. Most effort was expended on near mine magnesite and gold. The base metals search initially used magnetics as a guide but was replaced by systematic stream sediment sampling.

IMI completed extensive stream sediment sampling and selected soil sampling over the tenement in the 1980’s, targeting magnetic highs and geochemical anomalies, and assaying for multi-elements including Au, Ag, base metals, Sn, and W. Between 1982 and 1985 it drilled nine diamond holes for a total of 894m at Specimen Reef (Figure 21). The only mineralised intersection was in DDH SP1, which intersected a narrow but very high grade zone, 0.2m at 910g/t Au.

Savage Resources concluded in 1988 that most of the mineralisation was within narrow, flat lying carbonate-magnetite-gold zones with very little quartz. It drilled ten holes between 1987 and 1989 for a total of 822m, with limited success, after discovering the reef dipped at a steep angle than been previously assumed. Ultimately, only three holes intersected the reef.

In 1997 Goldstream Mining NL / Titan Resources NL, in joint venture, (“Goldstream / Titan”) completed two further diamond drill holes into Specimen Reef, intersecting 2m at 0.56g/t Au in one hole and only 0.05g/t Au from the reef position in the other hole. No potentially economic magnetite was intersected in any hole.

Goldstream / Titan also carried out a petrological study on samples from its drill core and from the high grade gold intersection of the earlier SP1 core referred to above. The brannerite was found to be associated with electrum in a carbonate vein.

IMI, during the 1980s, completed an extensive stream sediment sampling programme, collecting trap site stream pan concentrates and decanted slime samples from all localities. Stream sediment and rock chip sampling identified lead anomalies to 900ppm, and zinc anomalies to 345ppm near the old Davis Creek workings. IMI carried out geochemical soil

83

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

sampling, geological mapping and ground magnetic surveys on two grids to the north of Specimen Reef (Figure 21). The soil sampling identified spot gold and base metal anomalies, with the highest results being a few hundred metres to the east of Davis Creek and just northeast of Specimen Reef.

CRA Exploration Ltd (“CRA”) explored the northern section of the tenement in the mid 1980’s for magnesite deposits. Its work included magnetic and Input-EM surveys and stream sediment sampling. CRA identified the Comstaff Creek area in the north of the present tenement as gold anomalous from the stream sediment sampling (Figure 20).

Geopeko Ltd (Geopeko) undertook a water sampling programme, limited rock chip sampling and mapping in the early 1990’s. Little significant data was generated.

From 1996 to 1997, Goldstream Mining NL (Goldstream) / Titan Resources NL (Titan) completed heli-magnetics centred on the Specimen Creek area. It drilled two diamond holes into Specimen Reef, on the same section as the original SP1 diamond hole. The holes intersected alteration and faulting, but with gold intersections of only 2m @ 0.56g/t and 1m @ 0.24g/t Au.

In 2001 Mineral Resources Tasmania flew helicopter–borne geophysics at 75m height over this area. The magnetic image in Figure 19 is derived from this work.

Exploration Potential

Bottrill and Taheri (2005)* examined the petrology of the host rocks from the Savage River Mine and concluded that, “The mineralisation, setting, and alteration are highly indicative of iron oxide-copper-gold styles of mineralisation, particularly the Kiruna and Iron-skarn subtypes, but the genesis is under more detailed investigation.” The identification of uranium within the Specimen Reef Prospect, a few kilometres along strike, is further evidence that the alteration system may have formed IOCG-U mineralisation within the AMC.

Exploration in the area appears to have been focussed in the southern portion of the EL within an area of relatively easy access. The relatively remote and forested nature of the tenement has resulted in a lack of systematic and full coverage of the tenement by modern exploration. Gold mineralisation is present in both the south and the north of the tenement and gold and base metal mineralisation is present further north within the AMC.

85

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

It is CRM’s opinion that the project area is prospective for both vein and disseminated mineralisation. Gold, copper, and uranium are legitimate target metals, with magnetite a potential by-product.

Proposed Exploration

We understand that Walkabout is in the process of collecting geological data and putting together a fund-raising process, both of which are expected to be completed by the middle of 2010. A comprehensive exploration program will be prepared prior to the float and RSL has been asked to provide input into the design of the exploration programme.

MALAWI PROJECTS

RSL has interests in three projects in the east-central African nation of Malawi that are prospective for uranium mineralisation (Figure 2). Within the southern and northern projects, Machinga and Ilomba Hill, Nb-Zr-Ta-U-rare earth element (“REE”) mineralisation is associated with alkaline intrusions, which RSL intend to systematically explore for vein-style or intrusive-related mineralisation. Within the central project, Chintheche, anomalies are associated with late Tertiary sediments that potentially contain sediment hosted uranium mineralisation and heavy mineral sand mineralisation. RSL has also obtained right of first refusal to enter into a joint venture agreement with Globe Metals & Mining Ltd (“Globe”) in respect to Globe’s Livingstonia Project in northern Malawi, in the event that Globe decides to proceed to such a JV at any time within 12 months from the date of a joint venture agreement with Globe (see Section 12 of the Prospectus for details).

Malawi is bounded by Zambia to the west, Tanzania to the north and northeast, and Mozambique to the east and south. Its capital city is Lilongwe. Malawi is elongate, with a north-south length of about 850km and an east-west width of about 150km. Lake Malawi, in the northeast of the country, is one of the major lakes of the African Rift Valley (Figure 2). The country’s area is about half that of the Australian state of Victoria’s and its population, at approximately 13 million, is about double. A significant proportion of the population comprises subsistence farmers for whom maize is the main crop.

Malawi is considered to have undergone positive social and political transformation in recent years and the government appears to be committed to the development of mining, including that of uranium. Evidence of this is the grant of a Mining Licence to Paladin Energy Limited (“Paladin”) for its Kayelekera Uranium Project and the project’s subsequent construction and commissioning in the north of the country.

Malawi - Geology and Uranium Mineralisation

The geology of Malawi comprises five main groups of rocks, which are, from oldest to youngest:

1. Gneisses and granulites of the Proterozoic Malawi Basement Complex that is present over the majority of the country.

2. Lower Palaeozoic to Neoproterozoic intrusives; predominantly granitoids and syenites

3. Permian – Triassic Karoo System clastic sediments that occupy fault troughs in the north and south

4. Mesozoic alkaline intrusives associated with Rift Valley volcanism in the south and central areas

5. Cainozoic sediments; especially in the south and bordering Lake Malawi

Uranium mineralisation within Malawi is known to occur in two styles: roll-front and alkali intrusive hosted.

Paladin’s Kayelekera Deposit is of the roll-front style and occurs within Karoo System sandstones in the far north of the country. The source of the uranium is assumed to be older crystalline rocks. Another Australian exploration company, Globe, has also discovered rollfront style mineralisation at its Livingstonia Project within the Karoo System sandstones in northern Malawi. Karoo sandstones have not been identified in the RSL project areas, but the Chintheche Project does contain younger sediments that overlie Basement Complex rocks.

87

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

These sediments, and any older sediments that may be present beneath them, are prospective for sediment hosted uranium mineralisation and for heavy mineral sand mineralisation.

Globe has also located alkali intrusion hosted uranium mineralisation within the basement at Kanyika, in the central area of Malawi. The mineralisation is present in multiple zones within a steeply dipping elongate alkalic granitoid intrusion into gneisses. The uranium is associated with niobium, tantalum, and zirconium. Globe has announced an Inferred Resource of 56.4Mt @ 0.26% Nb2O5, 120ppm Ta2O5, 0.48% ZrSiO4, and 70ppm U3O8 for the deposit. It has commenced a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”).

MACHINGA PROJECT

Introduction

The Machinga Project covers an area in southern Malawi that contains major alkaline complexes that intrude basement rocks. The intrusive complexes form forested hills that rise above cleared farmed plains (Figure 22). The Zomba Plateau, in the south of the project area, is more than 1000m above the plain. The area was applied for to cover uranium channel radiometric anomalies that were located by a country-wide airborne survey carried out in the 1980s.

==> picture [415 x 224] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 22 Machinga project area - 3D view showing forested alkaline intrusives and cleared farmland over basement rocks

Tenements

The Machinga Project comprises a granted Exclusive Prospecting Licence (“EPL”). EPL 0230/07 was granted to Eastbourne Exploration Pty Ltd (“Eastbourne”) on 12 December 2007 for a term of three years. Eastbourne is a wholly owned subsidiary of RSL. The licence has an area of 379.1km2 and provides exclusive rights explore for uranium and for minerals found to be associated with uranium in this environment (specifically Niobium, Tantalum, Zirconium, Thorium, Titanium, Gallium, Hafnium, Gold, the Rare Earth Elements, and associated elements). Licences can be renewed for reduced areas for two further periods, if it can be demonstrated that the proposed work programme has been undertaken. Additional minerals can be added at the time of application for a Development Agreement. Details of conditions are given elsewhere in this Prospectus, in the Solicitor’s report on Malawi Licences.

RSL has applied for an extension to the area covered by the licence, to cover the area adjoining the existing tenement to the east and the south (Figure 23). If the full extension is granted, the tenement will have an area of 955km2.

89

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Joint Venture Agreement

Eastbourne has entered into a JV with Globe, pursuant to which Globe has been granted the right to earn up to an 80% interest by meeting certain expenditure and other obligations in relation to exploration over the Machinga Project. If Globe elects to proceed with the JV it will become the manager of the JV. Details of the agreement are given in the Prospectus.

Location and Access

The project area is situated in the south of Malawi between the country’s new and old capitals Lilongwe and Zomba, which have respective populations of 400,000 and 100,000. The country’s main north-south highway, which connects the two cities, passes through the project area. By road, Lilongwe is about 240km northwest of the project area. Zomba is about 20km to the south of the existing licence. Numerous tracks cover the farmland areas. The forested uplands are within forestry reserves, within which access is by forestry tracks. The licence conditions allow exploration within the reserves.

Geological Setting

Topographically and geologically the area is dominated by rocks of the Mesozoic Chilwa Alkaline Province, which consists of a number of granite, syenite, and nepheline-syenite plutons associated with volcanic vents infilled with carbonatite and agglomerate. The alkaline plutons intrude rocks of the Malawi Basement Complex, as does a very varied suite of minor intrusions, usually dykes, particularly in the vicinity of the plutons’ margins. There are also minor hydrothermal rocks. The plutonic phase occurred in the Jurassic and the carbonatite volcanic activity about 15My later during the Lower Cretaceous. Figure 23 is a geological map of the project area.

Project Geology

The project area contains four alkaline plutons, three of which, the Chinduzi, Mongolowe, and Chaone ring-complexes are of nepheline-syenite and occur in an east-west string across the north of the project area. They are between 5km and 10km in diameter and their emplacement is thought to be associated with cauldron subsidence. At their highest points they are about 500m above the surrounding plain. Agglomerate vents are present near the northwest margin of the Mongolowe ring-complex and the northeast margin of the Chinduzi complex. Strong carbonate alteration is associated with the vents. The fourth and larger southern Malosa Pluton forms the northern portion of the Zomba-Malosa Massif that reaches a height of more than 1000m above the plain. It is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of syenitic and granitic rocks.

The plutons intrude gneisses and charnockitic granulites of the Proterozoic Basement Complex, within which semi-pelitic rocks are dominant. Other rock types include psammitic and pelitic gneisses, marble, calc-silicates, amphibolites, and minor anorthositic gneiss. Litpar-lit gneisses, secretion pegmatites, and boudinage are common within the basement with migmatisation present locally. The gneisses are folded isoclinally along northwest to northeast axes and dips are moderate to high.

The northeast trending Rift Valley Fault, which in the Malawi region is the eastern edge of the rift valley, passes through the project area and forms the western margin of the Malosa Pluton. Broad alluvial plains cover sections of the project area.

Previous Exploration

In 1955 a radiometric anomaly was located with a car-borne ratemeter about three kilometres southeast of Kasupe on the old Zomba-Liwonde road. Investigation of the locality was carried out by the American Smelting and Refining Company (“ASARCO”) and the Atomic Energy Division of the Geological Survey of Great Britain. Exploration was by a carmounted scintillometer, an airborne scintillometer, geological mapping, trenching, shallow drilling, and diamond drilling. Radiometric anomalies were found within the basement

gneisses associated with outcrops of fine-grained epidotized rock, its pegmatitic equivalents, and an alkaline granite ring-dyke peripheral to the Malosa Pluton. The work concentrated on three outcropping pegmatites that were of the order of one to two metres thick. The two diamond drill holes intersected radioactive granitic and pegmatitic veins up to 2.5m in thickness. The veins contained the thorium silicate mineral thorite and uraniferous pyrochlore. Downhole radiometric analyses gave maximum values of 700ppm eU3O8 and 3000ppm eThO2.

During 1986 an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out over selected 1:100,000 sheet areas that comprised over half of the total area of Malawi. The survey was carried out by Hunting Geology and Geophysics Limited and interpreted by the Canadian geophysical company Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited (“PGW”) for an UN-sponsored Development Program (“UNDP”). The survey was flown with east-west lines, line separation of 1.0km, terrain clearance of 120m, and a radiometric sampling rate of approximately 70m. The survey located a number of uranium channel radiometric anomalies within the Zomba region, including one with a peak value of about ten times background and a length of seven kilometres that is coincident with the eastern margin of the Malosa Pluton. RSL’s Machinga licence application was made to cover the group of anomalies (Figure 24). The northernmost anomaly is coincident with a volcanic vent containing carbonated agglomerate.

Exploration

RSL has carried out geological mapping, detailed ground radiometric surveys, and rock chip sampling over each of the identified radiometric anomalies (see Figure 24).

Machinga Main Anomaly

The Machinga Main Anomaly was systematically explored by:

1. A ground based (total count) survey using a hand held scintillometer over the entire 7km strike length of the anomaly (368 line km);

2. Infill scintillometer traverse lines, most within the northernmost portion (the Machinga Anomaly);

93

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

3. Focussed geological evaluation prioritised on the Machinga Anomaly;

4. Regolith, land use and geological mapping over priority areas;

5. Rock chip sampling of mineralised units and analysis by a portable Niton XRF Analyser;

6. Multi-element chemical analysis of 125 samples (predominantly from the Machinga Anomaly).

The mapping, ground radiometric survey, and field XRF analysis resulted in the definition of more than 2km of Nb-Ta-Zr-U-REE mineralisation hosted by a bifurcating and anastomising pegmatite swarm that is within both the granitic gneissic basement rocks and the eastern margin of the Malosa granite. This variably mineralised package is up to 500m in width. It is at the northern end of the 7km long airborne uranium channel anomaly. This area was designated the Machinga Anomaly. The majority of the anomaly is located in a heavily inhabited valley that is covered by cultivated land.

Outcrop within the area is mainly restricted to that of the pegmatites, which strike northwest and north and dip at about 35o to the east. Figure 25 is a geological map of the area, within which four different pegmatite types were identified within the area. The types can be separated by their differing lithologies, radiometric responses, and contained mineralisation. The gangue mineralogy of the veins is quartz-feldspar-epidote-tourmaline. The main ore mineral is pyrochlore, a Nb-Ta-U oxide, which is also the major ore mineral at Globe’s Kanyika Project.

Each pegmatite zone is made up of a number of individual veins that range in width from 1cm to 15cm. Such zones typically demonstrate surface widths of 1-3m. Between each vein is a transitional zone which is also mineralised. When not in outcrop, pegmatite zones can be identified by whitish sandy soils and by slight topographical highs/ridges that are typically uncultivated.

The analytical results for the rock chip samples are summarised in Table 6. The sampling to date indicates that significant mineralisation is present at Machinga. In general, the Type 3 pegmatites have higher concentrations of the elements of interest.

Representative mineralised material will require metallurgical investigation, as, until this has been carried out, it cannot be assumed that saleable products will be able to be produced.

Other Anomalies

The other anomalies were explored in a similar manner to the Machinga Main Anomaly. Outcrop in these areas is poor and, as a result, the limited sampling can not be taken as being representative of mineralised units in these areas. Mineralised pegmatites were, however, observed and sampled at the Chinduzi and from the central and southern anomalies at Machinga North (Figure 24), but mineralisation was not observed at the northern Machinga North or the Machinga South-East anomalies.

The analytical results for the rock chip samples from Chinduzi and from the central and southern anomalies at Machinga North are summarised in Table 7.

Exploration Potential

The work completed to date has confirmed the potential of the project area to contain significant Nb-Ta-Zr-U-REE mineralisation. The size and distribution of mineralisation is, however, ill-defined owing to the lack of outcrop over the identified radiometric anomalies. Further exploration of these by trenching and drilling will be needed before meaningful estimates of target tonnages and grades can be made. At the 7km long Machinga Main Anomaly only the northern 2km have been subjected to adequate first pass exploration.

Potential is also present for other types of mineralisation within the project area. Carbonatite volcanics associated with the intrusive complexes are prospective for REE and for phosphate, and the Basement Complex is prospective for gold and base metals. Interpretation of existing aeromagnetic data may indicate structures that could be associated with gold mineralisation.

96

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Proposed Exploration

CRM is of the opinion that the radiometric anomalies should be explored systematically and recommends the following exploration programme for 2010:

1. Carry out soil geochemical surveys, trenching, and complementary mapping and rock chip sampling over priority areas;

2. Evaluate the anomalies, identify and prioritise targets, and commence staged drill programmes into them;

3. Carry out preliminary metallurgical investigations;

4. Stream sediment sampling may be conducted over the whole lease area.

In addition, CRM recommends exploration within the tenement to identify other target areas for follow up investigation. In particular, it is recommended that first pass exploration of the alkaline ring complexes be by stream sediment geochemistry, including the collection of heavy mineral concentrates and analysis for a range of elements including Nb, Ta, REE, and P.

ILOMBA HILL PROJECT

Introduction

In the far north-west of the country, at Ilomba Hill, uraniferous pyrochlore occurs within veins associated with a syenite ring complex intruded into basement gneisses (Figures 2 and 26). Rock samples from the veins taken in the late 1950s returned analyses up to 7.5% Nb2O5.

Tenements and Agreements

The Ilomba Hill Project comprises an Exclusive Prospecting Licence (“EPL”) granted to Nyalihanga Enterprises Ltd (“Nyalihanga”) on September 2008. Red Rock entered into a Joint Venture, Purchase and Sale Agreement with Nyalihanga. Red Rock since has entered into a conditional agreement with RSL pursuant to which it has agreed to assign its interest in the EPL. As a result of these arrangements, RSL will explore, and has a 90% interest in, the EPL. Further details of the agreement are given in the Solicitor’s report and elsewhere in the Prospectus.

The EPL, 0264/08, has an area of 80km2 and provides exclusive rights explore for uranium, tantalum, zirconium, titanium, thorium, gallium, hafnium, gold, niobium, and REE for a term of three years. An application has been lodged to increase the size of the licence. If the full extension is granted, the tenement will have an area of 89km2. Details of conditions are given elsewhere in this Prospectus, in the Solicitor’s report on Malawi Licences.

Location and Access

The project area is situated in the north of Malawi (Figure 2), about 20km north-northwest of the regional town of Chitipa. A regional road passes through the southern portion of the licence. The prime target area, Ilomba Hill, is covered by scrub and exploration is allowed over it.

Project Geology

Malawi Basement Complex rocks outcrop in the southwest and northeast; Cainozoic sediments cover a broad west-northwest trending valley in the south; and Neoproterozoic syenitic intrusives are present in the central portion of the project area (Figure 26).

Ilomba Hill, in the north of the licence area is over a zoned, almost circular, nepheline syenite complex that is about 2km in diameter. It is within the larger Swonwe Syenite pluton. Ore minerals that have been identified within the Ilomba Hill complex include pyrochlore, titanate, zircon, and unidentified rare earth minerals. Uranian pyrochlore has so far been found most abundant in pyroxene-rich lenticles in an aegerine-augite-bearing nepheline syenite, where fresh material graded as high as 7.5% Nb2O5. It has been suggested that there is evidence of hydrothermal activity contributing to the high concentrations of niobium and uranium.

Previous Exploration

The mineralisation at Ilomba Hill was investigated during the 1950’s. It was reported that the mineralisation averaged 0.3% Nb2O5 and 575ppm U3O8.

99

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Exploration

No significant on-ground exploration has been carried out under the current licence.

Exploration Potential

The Ilomba Hill complex is known to contain significant Nb-Zr-U-REE mineralisation, the scope of which should be relatively easily established by systematic exploration.

Proposed Exploration

RSL proposes to concentrate its exploration on a thorough evaluation of the multi-element response across the whole of the Ilomba Hill Complex. Its exploration programme is envisaged to be similar to that begun and proposed for the Machinga Project and expected to initially include geological mapping; a radiometric survey; stream sediment, soil, and rock chip sampling. Selected areas are then likely to be tested by a combination of trenching, pitting, and drill testing.

CHINTHECHE PROJECT

Introduction

The Chintheche project area was applied for to cover a number of uranium channel radiometric anomalies identified by PGW from the 1986 radiometric survey. The anomalies are over both Basement Complex rocks and over younger clastic sediments that sit above and marginal to them. The younger sediments are prospective for roll front style uranium mineralisation and the basement rocks for vein style U-Nb-Ta-REE mineralisation.

Tenements and Agreements

The Chintheche Project comprises EPL 0219-07, which has an area of 210.9km2 and which was granted to Red Rock Resources plc (“Red Rock”) on 27 June 2007. The licence has since been transferred to RSL. The conditions of the EPL are similar to those of the Machinga EPL.

Location and Access

The project is situated immediately to the west of Lake Malawi about 240km north of Lilongwe (see Figure 2). It has a north-south length of about 20km and an east-west width of about 10km. The eastern section of the tenement is flat and covered with small farms. The western section has two north-south lines of hills that rise up to 300m above the plain. Subsidence farming within this section is less intense, but a network of tracks is present.

Geological Setting

The tenement is situated within the Great African Rift Valley immediately to the west of Lake Malawi. It is underlain by Malawi Basement Complex rocks that, in the east of the tenement, are covered by the late-Tertiary Timbiri Beds and Recent alluvium. Figure 27 is a geological map of the project area.

101

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

==> picture [325 x 487] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 27 Chintheche Project – Geological Map

Project Geology

The Basement Complex within the project area predominantly comprises biotite gneiss, garnetiferous biotite gneiss, and micaceous phyllonite, with minor quartzite and quartz schist. Both the stratigraphy and the metamorphic foliation strike, in general, east-west.

The Timbiri Beds consist of clays, grits, and conglomerates that infill an uneven, eroded, weathered basement surface. They cover the lakeshore plain around Chintheche and the bases of the valleys further inland. The variation of topography above the level of the beds indicates that they may, in places, have significant thickness.

The lake shore deposits in the south of the tenement to the southwest of Bandawe Point, although mapped as Timbiri Beds, appear to be part of a shore-parallel dune system that extends about a kilometre inland from the coast.

102

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

The geomorphology of the area is controlled by a number of faults that are related to the rift valley and along which movement has taken place both in the Mesozoic and Tertiary. The fault system may have produced small-scale grabens that have been infilled with sediments and that are now concealed by the Timbiri Beds and the more recent alluvial deposits.

Previous Exploration

Apart from regional geochemical and airborne geophysical surveys, no previous exploration is known within the project area.

The entire country was covered by a regional stream sediment geochemical survey in the 1960s. Samples were collected at an average spacing of one per square kilometre. No significant results were highlighted within the Chintheche project area.

The area was included as part of the 1986 UNDP aeromagnetic and radiometric survey, PGW’s interpretation of which highlighted a number of uranium channel radiometric anomalies (Figure 28). The stronger anomalies are either within the Timbiri Beds or close to their margin, where they lap onto the topographically higher basement rocks (see Figure 27). IGS has indicated that the stronger anomalies are of the order of four times background.

103

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Figure 28 Chintheche Project – Uranium channel radiometric image

Current Exploration

RSL, during 2009, carried out a ground investigation of the strong radiometric anomaly about 2km north of the town of Chintheche near the shore of Lake Malawi (Figures 27 and 28).

A ground radiometric survey was carried out over the anomaly and radiometric peaks were found to be associated with heavy mineral strand lines in lakeshore sand dunes. Radioactive minerals within the heavy mineral suite are the possible cause of the anomaly. A one metre deep trench was dug into the strongest anomaly. A dune profile with typical aeolian crossbedding was exposed with a lensoidal 25-30cm thick heavy mineral layer present beneath the soil. Scintillometer readings peaked at this band.

Minor outcrops of basement rocks were noted in the general area, which suggests that the Timberi Beds are thinner than had been anticipated.

104

Continental Resource Management Pty Ltd

Exploration Potential

The prime exploration potential within the Chintheche Project was considered to be for the discovery of sediment hosted uranium mineralisation within the Timbiri Beds. RSL’s recent exploration, however, has downgraded these as a target.

The lower level anomalies over the basement rocks probably indicate that some mineralisation is present within the sequence. It is, however, possible that vein-style mineralisation is present within the basement, which should, as a lower priority, be investigated for such occurrences and for other minerals including base and precious metals and Nb-Ta-REE.

The long-shore dunes, especially in the south of the tenement, should be investigated for concentrations of heavy minerals, including ilmenite, zircon, monazite, and rutile, which are present in lake shore deposits to the south. It should be noted, however, that the licence is to prospect for uranium.

Proposed Exploration

RSL’s proposed exploration is a similar staged programme to that proposed for its Machinga Project. It intends to initially concentrate on exploration of the Timbiri Beds for sediment hosted uranium mineralisation. Further exploration will be dependent upon earlier results.

9. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

==> picture [184 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

24 November 2009

The Directors Resource Star Limited Level 9, 440 Collins Street Melbourne Vic 3000

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

Introduction

We have prepared this Independent Accountant’s Report (“Report”) at the request of the Directors of Resource Star Limited (the “Company” or “RSL”) for inclusion in a prospectus (“the Prospectus”) relating to an offer in which the Company intends to raise up to a minimum of A$1.9 million and up to a maximum of A$4.4 million, before the expenses of the issue (“the Offer”). In addition to the Offer, 3,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, to Red Rock Resources Plc (“Red Rock”) (a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and listed on the AIM) in satisfaction of a loan made to the Company and as consideration for tenements purchased from Red Rock.

The Prospectus will assist the Company comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listing rules in order to re-list onto the ASX. This offer is not underwritten, however, Allegra Capital Pty Ltd has been appointed as Broker to the Offer and will be paid a fee for this service.

We understand that the Company proposes to undertake a non–renounceable entitlement issue of entitlement options (“Entitlement Options”) within six months after the relisting on ASX. All shareholders registered on the share register of the Company at a date to be announced by the Company to the ASX will be entitled to participate in the entitlement issue if they hold shares on the record date. The exercise price and the expiry date of the Entitlement Options will be determined by the Company after its securities have been reinstated to trading on the ASX.

References to Resource Star Limited, RSL, the Company, and other terminology used in this Report have the same meaning as defined in the Glossary of the Prospectus in which this Report appears.

Background

The Company was previously listed and operated a retail business. On 6 August 2007, the shareholders agreed to the Company acquiring a uranium exploration company, Orion

==> picture [425 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

112

Exploration Pty Ltd, from its major shareholder, Red Rock together with uranium exploration rights in E29/581, a tenement in Western Australia.

As part of the arrangement, Red Rock also transferred to the Company certain exploration licences located in Malawi, Southern Africa. On 14 July 2008, shareholders agreed to the Company changing the nature of its activities from a retail company to an exploration and mining company.

As part of this process, the Company was required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in order to re-list onto the ASX.

In accordance with the re-compliance process, the Company lodged a prospectus in July 2008, together with three supplementary prospectuses comprising a general offer and a nonrenounceable entitlement issue with the ASX. As announced in January 2009, due to the downturn in the economic market, the Company withdrew the offers under the prospectus and the Company’s shares have remained suspended.

The Company has otherwise been maintaining its existing tenements in good standing in anticipation of successfully raising the required funds to enable re-listing and recommencement of field activities. The Board of Directors has resolved, in the best interest of shareholders that now is the time to proceed to raise capital and seek re-listing on the ASX.

Scope of Report

You have requested that HLB Mann Judd prepare a Report presenting the following information:

  1. The Audited Historical Consolidated Balance Sheet of RSL as at 30 June 2009;

  2. The Audited Historical Consolidated Income Statement of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009;

  3. The Audited Historical Statements of Changes in Equity of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009; and

  4. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity of RSL as at 30 June 2009, which contemplates completion of the following significant events and proposed transactions by the Company subsequent to 30 June 2009:

  5. a) The allotment of 1,400,000 ordinary shares to Red Rock as detailed in Note 20 of the Company’s audited 30 June 2009 financial statements;

  6. b) A share placement of 3,742,475 shares at an issue price of $0.16 each, raising gross proceeds of approximately $598,796 (“Placement”);

  7. c) The issue by the Company pursuant to this Prospectus of a minimum of 9,500,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share, to raise up to $1,900,000, before the expenses of the issue (referred to as “Minimum Subscription”). The Company may accept over subscription of up to a further $2,500,000 through the issue of up to a further 12,500,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share (referred to as “Maximum Subscription”);

  8. d) On 19 November 2009, Red Rock and the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, under which Red Rock has agreed to sell and the Company has agreed to purchase, a 35% interest in EL11/2005 (“Sale Agreement”). The Sale Agreement also provides for the sale and purchase of Red Rock’s 90% interest in EPL 0264/08 at Ilomba Hill Malawi, which is summarised in Sections 12.5 and 12.8 of the Prospectus. The consideration payable for the acquisition of Red Rock’s interest

113

in these two tenements is the issue of 550,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at $0.20 per share, referred to as (“Purchase of Tenements”).

The parties have agreed that completion of the Sale Agreement, and therefore the transfer of Red Rock’s interests in the tenements, will take place when the Company is reinstated to the official list of the ASX. At or before completion of the Sale Agreement, Red Rock must provide the Company with consent from the vendors to the assignment of Red Rock’s rights and interest in the tenements;

  • e) In accordance with the agreement executed between the Company and Red Rock (as detailed in Note 25 of the Company’s audited 30 June 2009 financial statements), Red Rock has continued to provide working capital to the Company. The loan balance owing to Red Rock has increased by approximately $244,860 since 30 June 2009. At the date of this report, the amount owing to Red Rock totalled approximately $493,511. In accordance with the provisions of the letter agreement as outlined in Section 12.2 of the Prospectus, RSL will repay $490,000 of the amount owing via the issue of ordinary shares at $0.20 per share, with the remaining $3,511, including any outstanding interest calculated at a fixed rate of 4% per annum to be settled by cash, at the election of Red Rock, which can be made at anytime. For the purposes of preparing the Pro-Forma Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity, only the 30 June 2009 balance of $248,651 has been converted to equity, referred to as (“Conversion of Loan”); and

  • f) the write-off to the issued capital account of the costs of the Prospectus being estimated at either $283,442 or $388,442 as follows:

Together we refer to the above hereafter as the “Historical Financial Information”.

The Directors of RSL are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information, including the determination of the pro-forma transactions and/or adjustments. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the Historical Financial Information.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form in so far as it does not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”).

The Pro-Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity have been derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009, after adjusting for the pro-forma transactions described above. The Consolidated Financial Statements of RSL for the period ended 30 June 2009 were audited by HLB Mann Judd in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

114

Our audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009, issued on 25 September 2009, was unqualified and included an emphasis of matter section titled ‘significant uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern'.

Scope of Review – Historical Financial Information

We have reviewed the Historical Financial Information of RSL in order to state whether, anything has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information is not presented fairly in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by RSL in preparing its 30 June 2009 Audited Financial Statements.

Our review of the Historical Financial Information has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report” and other relevant assurance and professional standards. We made such enquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstances for the purposes of this Report.

The review procedures undertaken by HLB Mann Judd in our role as Independent Accountant were substantially less in scope than that of an audit examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Our review was limited primarily to an examination of the Historical Financial Information, analytical review procedures and discussions with senior management. A review of this nature will provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the Historical Financial Information included in this Report and elsewhere in the Prospectus.

Review Statement – Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that:

  • a) the Historical Consolidated Balance Sheet of RSL does not present fairly the consolidated financial position of RSL as at 30 June 2009;

  • b) the Historical Consolidated Income Statement does not present fairly the consolidated financial results of operations of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009;

  • c) the Historical Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity does not present fairly the consolidated changes in equity of RSL for the 11 month period ended 30 June 2009; and

  • d) the Pro-Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity of RSL as at 30 June 2009, which assumes completion of the proposed pro-forma transactions previously identified, do not present fairly the pro-forma consolidated financial position and changes in equity of RSL as at 30 June 2009 including the transactions.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to 30 June 2009, the following material matters and transactions arose:

  • a) Allotment of 1,400,000 ordinary shares to Red Rock as detailed in Note 20 of the Company’s audited 30 June 2009 financial statements;

  • b) A Placement of 3,742,475 shares at an issue price of $0.16 each, raising gross proceeds of approximately $598,796;

  • c) Conversion of Loan and Purchase of Tenements as previously outlined;

115
  • d) The expiry of 1,176,471 Class “A” performance shares was announced to the market on 12 November 2009 following the expiration of the time provided to achieve the key milestone events;

  • e) On 20 November 2009, a subsidiary of the Company, Eastbourne Exploration Pty Ltd (“Eastbourne”) and Globe Metals & Mining Limited (“Globe”) entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Eastbourne has agreed to grant Globe the right to earn up to an 80% interest by meeting certain expenditures and other obligations in relation to exploration for minerals on Eastbourne’s Malawian mineral right under EPL 0230/07. The agreement is conditional on Globe completing a legal and technical due diligence on the tenement and being satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence by no later than 2 months from the date of this agreement; and

  • f) Issue of 800,000 Options to the Chief Executive Officer or his nominee, which will only vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms set out in Section 12.10 of the Prospectus.

Apart from the matters disclosed above and those dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the Scope of our Report, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transactions or events outside of the ordinary business of the Company have come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

Sources of Information

We have made enquiries of the Directors of the Company and other parties as considered necessary during the course of our analysis. We have also referred to the Prospectus and material documents which relate to the operations of the Company. We have no reason to believe the information supplied is not reliable.

Independence and Disclosure of Interests

As at the date of this Report, consent has not been withdrawn.

Dear Sirs

SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a Prospectus for the offer of 9500,000 Shares in the capital of Resource Star Limited ( Company ) at an issue price of 20 cents each to raise $1,900,000, and for the issue of 3,000,000 Shares to Red Rock Resources plc to satisfy loan and other contractual arrangements ( Prospectus ).

As at the date of this Report, the Company holds an interest in:
  • (a) nine granted exploration licences in the Northern Territory, three applications for the grant of exploration licences in the Northern Territory and one application for the grant of a mining lease in the Northern Territory ( NT Tenements );

  • (b) one granted exploration licence in Western Australia and one application for the grant of an exploration licence in Western Australia ( WA Tenements ); and

  • (c) one granted exploration licence in Tasmania ( TAS Tenement ).

A schedule of NT Tenements, WA Tenements and TAS Tenement (together, the Tenements ) is attached to and forms part of this report ( Schedule ). Part I of the Schedule contains a list of the Tenements and the conditions attaching to the Tenements. Part II of the Schedule contains a summary of the status of the native title claims existing over the Tenements.

122

1. SEARCHES

For the purposes of this report, we have conducted searches and made
enquiries in respect of all the Tenements as follows:
  • (a) we have reviewed searches of the Tenements in the registers maintained by the Northern Territory Department of Regional Development, Primary Industry, Fisheries and Resources. These searches were conducted on 13 October 2009;

  • (b) we have obtained searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum. These searches were conducted on 13 October 2009;

  • (c) we have obtained searches of the TAS Tenement from the registers maintained by the Mineral Resources Tasmania of the Tasmanian Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources ( MRT ). These searches were conducted on 4 November 2009;

  • (d) for information regarding rent and expenditure requirements in relation to certain Tenements we have relied on information prepared by Tenement Administration Services on 10 November 2009 and provided to us by the Company; and

  • (e) we have reviewed searches of the Tenements obtained from the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) to determine if any native title claims are registered over the area of the Tenements, and extracts from the Register of Native Title Claims in respect of native title claims overlapping the Tenements. These searches were conducted on 14 October 2009.

On the basis of the searches conducted and our review of the Material
Contracts, subject to the enforceability of such Material Contracts, we consider
that this report (and the Schedule) provides an accurate statement as to the
status of the Tenements as at the date the relevant searches were obtained.

2. OPINION

As a result of our searches and enquiries, but subject to the assumptions and
qualifications set out below, we are of the view that, as at the date of the
relevant searches:
  • (a) the details of the Tenements included in this report are accurate as to the status of the Tenements and the Company’s interest in the Tenements;

  • (b) where title to a Tenement has not been granted or an application for extension of a term of a Tenement is pending, that fact is disclosed in the Schedule;

  • (c) the current expenditure requirements for the Tenements are as set out in the Schedule;

  • (d) the valid grant of any of the current applications for Tenements which are situated on pastoral leases and which may affect native title will require compliance with the applicable processes of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) as amended by the Native Title Amendment Act 1998 (Cth) (which are together referred to as the NTA ); and

123

3. TITLE

The Company’s interest in the Tenements is held through the following entities or

4. TENEMENTS

4.1 NT Tenements

The NT Tenements comprise exploration licences and a mining lease granted or applied for under the Mining Act (NT) ( NT Mining Act ). The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of exploration licences and mining leases pursuant to the NT Mining Act.

Exploration Licences

  • (a) Rights: The holder of an exploration licence is authorised to conduct exploration activity on the tenement with any equipment as may be necessary for the purpose of exploring for minerals.
124
  • (b) Term: An exploration licence may be granted for a term not exceeding six years and may be renewed for two further periods of two years at the Minister’s discretion.

  • (c) Area: The area of land in respect of which an exploration licence may be granted must be contained in a single licence area and must not exceed 500 blocks. Under the NT Mining Act, the area of an exploration licence must be reduced by 50% after two years from the date of the grant of the exploration licence, and for each year after that, a further 50% of the remaining area must be relinquished, subject to the discretion of the Minister.

  • (d) General Conditions: An exploration licence is granted subject to certain standard conditions under the NT Mining Act and includes obligations relating to rehabilitation, payment of rent, minimum expenditure and reporting requirements.

  • (e) Rent: The prescribed rent for an exploration licence in the Northern Territory, for the purposes of the NT Mining Act, are set out in Section 7 of the Mining Regulations (NT) ( NT Regulations ). Section 7 states that rent, after the date of grant of the exploration licence, shall be:

  • (i) $11 for each block in the first year and second year;

  • (ii) $22 for each block in the third year;

  • (iii) $43 for each block in the fourth year;

  • (iv) $88 for each block in the fifth year;

  • (v) $176 for each block in the sixth year; and

  • (vi) $352 for each block per year in the period of renewal.

Pursuant to Section 171 of the NT Mining Act, the Minister may cancel an
exploration licence where the holder of the licence fails to comply with
a provision of rent required by the NT Regulations.

(f) Expenditure: In accordance with Section 24 of the NT Mining Act, every exploration licence shall, unless expressly waived, varied or suspended in writing by the Minister, be granted subject to the conditions imposed by or under Section 166 of the NT Mining Act and to the condition that the licensee will expend not less than the minimum amount of expenditure specified in the licence in carrying out exploration activities on the licence area.

The holder of an exploration licence may apply in writing to the Minister
for a waiver, variation or suspension of, or exemption from the need to
comply with, a condition of his exploration licence.
Pursuant to Section 171 of the NT Mining Act, the Minister may cancel an
exploration licence where the holder of the licence fails to comply with
a provision of rent required by the NT Regulations.
  • (g) Ministerial Consent: Under the Mining Management Act (NT), any activity on tenure (other than for exploration that does not involve substantial disturbance) requires the Minister to grant ministerial authorisation before that activity can commence. Any such activity
125

would need to be undertaken in accordance with a mining management plan and risk management plan under the Workplace Health and Safety Act (NT) , which is integral with the Ministerial Authorisation and must deal with safety, health and environmental issues.

  • (h) Transfer: Section 173 of the Mining Act precludes the registration of an interest in respect of an application for a tenement until the relevant tenement is granted. Accordingly, an application for a tenement is not capable of being transferred until the relevant tenement is granted.

Mining Lease

  • (a) Rights: The Minister may grant a mining lease authorising the mining of minerals that the Minister thinks fit, and for other purposes in connection with the mining or processing of specified minerals.

  • (b) Term: A mining lease may be granted for such term as the Minister thinks fit and may be renewed for a term not exceeding 25 years at the Minister’s discretion.

  • (c) General Conditions: A mining lease is granted subject to standard conditions, including that the lessee must:

  • (i) use the lease area continuously and exclusively for the purposes for which it is demised and carry out all work associated with those purposes with reasonable diligence and skill;

  • (ii) comply with all contractual arrangements entered into with the Northern Territory relating to mining and development of mineral deposits on the land;

  • (iii) carry out its mining and other activities on the lease area in such a way as to interfere as little as possible with the rights of other occupiers of land in the vicinity of the lease area;

  • (iv) not assign, sublet or part with possession of any part of the lease or an interest in the lease without the written consent of the Minister; and

  • (v) comply with the requirements of the NT Mining Act and other applicable Northern Territory laws.

  • (d) Rent: The prescribed rent for a mining lease in the Northern Territory is $11 per hectare or part thereof for each year.

Pursuant to Section 171 of the NT Mining Act, the Minister may cancel a
mining lease where the holder of the lease fails to comply with a
provision of rent required by the NT Regulations.
  • (e) Uranium Mining Restrictions: Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act 1953 (Cth) and the Nort h ern Territory Self-Government) Regulations 1978 (Cth) the Commonwealth has reserved its powers on uranium mining in the Northern Territory. The NT Mining Act requires that the Northern Territory Minister for Mines must consult with the Commonwealth Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources before granting a mining title that relates to uranium, and must act in accordance with any advice that the Commonwealth Minister provides.
126
  • (f) Royalty Rate: The Mineral Royalty Act (NT) levies a royalty at a rate of 18 per cent of the net value of mineral commodities sold or removed from a mine, regardless of the type of mineral commodity or whether the mine is situated on Crown, freehold, leasehold or Aboriginal land.

  • (g) Transfer: Section 173 of the Mining Act precludes the registration of an interest in respect of an application for a tenement until the relevant tenement is granted. Accordingly, an application for a tenement is not capable of being transferred until the relevant tenement is granted.

4.2 WA Tenements

The Tenements comprise exploration licences granted or applied for under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) ( WA Mining Act ). The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of exploration licences pursuant to the WA Mining Act. It is important to note that the granted exploration licence was applied for on 3 March 2005 and granted on 8 March 2006.

  • (a) Application : A person may lodge an application for an exploration licence and the Minister decides whether to grant the application. An application for an exploration licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.

  • (b) Rights: The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of exploration for minerals.

  • (c) Term : An exploration licence has a term of five years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term where:

  • (i) the exploration licence was applied for and granted before 10 February 2006, by a further period or periods of one or two years; and

  • (ii) the exploration licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, by a further period of five years followed by a further period or periods of two years.

Where an exploration licence is transferred before a renewal
application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the
applicant.
  • (d) Retention Status : The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted before 10 February 2006 can apply for a retention licence (see below).

  • (e) Conditions : Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to

127
comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the exploration
licence.
  • (f) Relinquishment : The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted for before 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than half of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the third year. A further relinquishment of not less than half of the remaining blocks is required at the end of the fourth year. The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year.

  • (g) Priority to apply for Mining Lease : The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

  • (h) Transfer : No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealing.

  • (i) Reversion Application : The WA Mining Act allows the holder of an exploration licence who had applied for a mining lease before 10 February 2006 to lodge an application between 11 February 2006 and 10 February 2007 for an exploration licence or prospecting licence in lieu of the grant of the mining lease. The Mining Act provides that reversion applications are deemed to be transferred to a transferee of the underlying exploration licence.

4.3 TAS Tenement

The TAS Tenement is an exploration licence granted under the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995 ( Tas Mining Act ). The area of the TAS Tenement comprises various types of land tenures and administrative management zones, labelled as State Forest, Informal Reserve, Crown Land, Regional Reserve, and National Estate.

Before exploration can proceed in land described as a ‘sensitive area’ (such as
forest reserves), all proposed exploration programmes must be reviewed by MRT
Unless stated otherwise or specifically excluded from the Tenements, the land
tenures and administrative management zones are available for exploration.  It
is important to refer to the Schedule of this Report for details of the exclusions
applying to each Tenement.
The Company is prohibited from exploration within areas of land that are subject
to mining leases. We have been advised by MRT that the TAS Tenement does not
currently overlap areas of land that are subject to mining leases.

Exploration Licence

  • (a) Grant: The Minister for Infrastructure Energy and Resources ( Minister ) can grant an exploration licence subject to any conditions the Minister considers appropriate. The Minister may vary any condition of the licence by rescinding, adding, substitution, or amending a condition.
128
  • (b) Term : Exploration licence is issued for 5 years and extends for this period unless earlier revoked. Renewals may be granted for further periods as the Minister determines. The Minister must renew an exploration licence if certain conditions are satisfied

  • (c) Conditions: Mining tenements are granted subject to various conditions and obligations prescribed by the Tas Mining Act including, for example, the payment of rent, compliance with minimum expenditure and reporting requirements. Specific conditions are also applicable to the TAS Tenement and are specified in the Schedule to this Report.

  • (d) Rights : Only one exploration licence may be issued for the same category of minerals on the same land.

  • (e) Priority to apply for Mining Lease : the holder of an exploration licence has the exclusive right to apply for a mining lease over the land within the area of the licence for the minerals specified in the licence subject to any conditions considered appropriate by the Minister

  • (f) Transfer: An exploration licence may be transferred with the approval of the Minister, and is of no effect unless approved by the Minister.

  • (g) Access: The holder of an exploration licence is not permitted to explore on private land within 100 metres of the surface of any lake, dam, reservoir, etc or any dwelling or substantial building without the consent of the owner and occupier of the land. The holder of an exploration licence is permitted to enter on to and pass over all Crown land for the purposes of exploration. The holder of an Exploration Licence is also permitted to enter on to and pass over all private land provided fourteen (14) days written notice is given to the any owner or occupier of affected land.

  • (h) Compensation: Compensation is payable to the owners and occupiers of private land for any compensable loss suffered to likely to be suffered as a result of exploration under an exploration licence. Compensation is payable, as agreed, or in the absence of an agreement, as determined by the Mining Tribunal. Compensation is also payable to the Crown for any damage to any improvement on Crown land. Again, compensation is payable as agreement, or as determined by the Mining Tribunal.

  • (i) Renewal: Under the Tas Mining Act, the Minister may extend exploration licences, upon an application by the licensee, for such term and on such conditions as the Minister sees fit. The Minister must grant an extension of an exploration licence if satisfied that:

  • (i) the exploration to be carried out during the term of the licence has been completed;

  • (ii) the licensee has submitted any report or return as required;

  • (iii) the licensee has submitted a suitable work program for the period of extension; and

  • (iv) further detailed exploration is justified because substantiated results indicate the probability of a discovery leading to profitable mining operations.

129

Mining Lease

  • (a) Application: An application for a mining lease may be made within 7 days of marking out the area, the subject of an exploration licence. Another party may not apply for an exclusive mining lease in respect of land the subject of an exploration licence until 2 months after the expiration of the exploration licence. Any person with an interest in land, the subject of an application for a mining lease may object to the grant of a mining lease. An application for a licence lapses 12 months after it is lodged if it is not determined by that time, or on such later date as may be fixed by MRT.

  • (b) Grant: A mining lease may be granted on the terms and for the period the Minister determines. A mining lease may be sub-leased or transferred with the prior approval of the Minister, but is of no effect unless approved by the Minister.

  • (c) Conditions: Mining tenements are granted subject to various conditions and obligations prescribed by the Tas Mining Act including, for example, the payment of rent, compliance with minimum expenditure and reporting requirements. Specific conditions are also applicable to the TAS Tenement and are specified in the Schedule to this Report.

  • (d) General Prohibition: Mining without a mining lease is prohibited unless carried out on private land.

5. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE SITES

5.1 General

There may be areas or objects of aboriginal heritage located on the Tenements.
We have not undertaken searches to ascertain if any Aboriginal sites or objects
have been registered in the vicinity of the Tenements, as there is no obligation
under the relevant legislation to register sites or objects.  Furthermore, the exact
location of Aboriginal sites cannot be ascertained from these searches.
The Company must ensure that it does not breach the Commonwealth and
Tasmanian legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage as set out below.  To ensure
that it does not contravene such legislation, the Company would need to
conduct heritage surveys to determine if any Aboriginal areas or objects exist
within the area of the Tenements. Any interference with these sites must be in
strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation.  It may also be
necessary for the Company to enter into separate arrangements with the
traditional owners of the sites.

5.2 Commonwealth Heritage Legislation

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 ( Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.

Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may
make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant
Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration
activities.  Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a
person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of
preservation.
130
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth
Heritage Act.

5.3 NT Heritage Legislation

It is an offence under Sections 33, 34 and 39 of the Heritage Conservation Act 1991 (NT) ( NT Heritage Act ) to carry out work on or damage a heritage place or heritage object, or place or object subject to an interim conservation order including archaeological places and objects (collectively refer to as ”archaeological sites”), without consent.

“Heritage places” and “heritage objects” are places and objects that have
been declared to be such pursuant to Section 26 of the NT Heritage Act.
Broadly, an “archaeological place” includes a place pertaining to the past
occupation by Aboriginal or Macassan people that has been modified by the
activity of such people and in or on which the evidence of such activity exists
(Section 4 NT Heritage Act).  An “archaeological object” generally includes a
relic pertaining to the past occupation by Aboriginal or Macassan people of any
part of Australia which is now in the Northern Territory (Section 4 NT Heritage Act).

The Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act (NT) ( NT Sacred Sites Act ) also applies to the NT Tenements. It is an offence under Part IV of the NT Sacred Sites Act to enter onto, work on or desecrate a sacred site other than in accordance with the NT Sacred Sites Act.

The Company should conduct searches of the Register maintained by the
Northern Territory Heritage Advisory Council and the Register of Sacred Sites
maintained by the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority prior to
commencement of exploration operations to ensure that no breaches of the NT
Heritage Act or the NT Sacred Sites Act occur.

5.4 WA Heritage Legislation

Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).

The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or
ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons.
The Minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the
excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or
under that site.
Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act.  However, there is
no requirement for a site to be registered and the WA Heritage Act protects all
registered and unregistered sites.

5.5 Tas Heritage Legislation

Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Relics Act 1975 (Tas) ( Aboriginal Relics Act ).

Where any Aboriginal artefacts or objects of historic interest are discovered,
operations shall be conducted so as to not damage or interfere with such site or
object, and the licensee shall otherwise observe the provisions of the Aboriginal
Relics Act.
131
MRT is charged with the maintenance and management of every protected site
and the protection and preservation of the protected objects on and in that
site. MRT will cause to be carried out such work as is necessary for protecting,
preserving, restoring or repairing a protected object or any other object in or on
that site.
MRT’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the
destruction, damage, disfiguration, excavation, alteration or otherwise of any
‘protected objects’, as declared under the Aboriginal Relics Act.

6. ABORIGINAL LAND

Aboriginal land rights in the Northern Territory are governed by either the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) ( ALRA ) or the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ), depending on the nature of the land.

The ALRA applies to land which is held as freehold land by a Land Trust established under the ALRA ( Aboriginal Freehold Land ).

Section 4 of the Aboriginal Land Act (NT) applies to all Aboriginal Freehold Land and requires the explorer to acquire a permit to enter onto Aboriginal Freehold Land. Permits can be obtained from the relevant Land Council and access to Aboriginal Freehold Land issues are generally dealt with by the exploration agreement with the relevant Land Council.

Section 233(3) of the NTA provides that an act affecting land or waters held by or for the benefit of Aboriginal peoples under the ALRA is not an act regulated by the NTA. Accordingly, the NTA does not apply to Aboriginal Freehold Land. The NTA applies to land in the Northern Territory in which native title rights and interests exist. This may include pastoral lease land ( Pastoral Land ).

7. NATIVE TITLE

7.1 Native Title Claims

Persons claiming to hold native title over land the subject of the NT Tenements
may lodge an application for determination of native title with the Federal
Court.  The Court will then refer the application to the Native Title Registrar for
the registration test.

If the Native Title Registrar is satisfied that the lodged claim meets the registration requirements set out in the NTA ( Registration Test ), it will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims ( Register ) maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ). Claimants of registered claims are afforded certain procedural rights under the NTA including the “right to negotiate”.

Claims which fail to meet the Registration Test are recorded on the Schedule of
Applications Received.  Such claims may be entered on the Register at a later
date if additional information is provided by the claimant that satisfies the
Registration Test. If a claim fails to meet the Registration Test, this only means that
the native title claimants do not have access to the right to negotiate under the
NTA.  It does not mean that the claim has been dismissed or discontinued.  An
unregistered claim must still be heard and determined by the Federal Court.
Some of the Tenements relate to land which is currently the subject of one or
more registered or unregistered native title claims.  These claims are identified in
Part I of the Schedule and elaborated in Part II of the Schedule.  The fact that a
claim has been lodged does not necessarily mean that native title exists over the
132
area claimed, nor does the absence of a claim necessarily indicate that native
title does not exist over that area.
We have not undertaken the considerable historical, anthropological and
ethnographic work that would be required to determine the likelihood that
existing claims may be successful, or the possibility of any further native title
claims being made in the future.
In any event, the existence of native title is not the main issue for the Company
as the holder of an interest in the Tenements. The main issue is the existence of a
registered native title claim which effectively requires the Company to observe
the provisions of the NTA in proceeding with its applications for Tenements.  The
reason for this is that an act which affects native title rights such as the grant of a
mining tenement may be invalid unless there has been compliance with the
provisions of the NTA.  Until the native title claim has been determined by the
Federal Court the existence of native title will be uncertain. Prudence dictates
that native title should be assumed to exist over all claimed land other than
freehold, private land, “exclusive possession” leasehold or vested reserve until
the claim has been determined.
It is important to note in respect of the TAS Tenement, that MRT takes the view
that native title does not apply in Tasmania as there is recognition of continuous
association with Tasmanian land.  There are no registered native title claims or
determinations in Tasmania and MRT considers that any native title claim
brought before the Courts would be extremely unlikely to succeed.
If the view of MRT is ever challenged and held to be invalid, then the land
subject to the TAS Tenement may be subject to native title claims and it would
be necessary to comply with the processes in the NAT prior to the grant of any
tenement situated on native title land within the perimeter of the TAS Tenement.

7.2 Native Title – Validity of Titles

(a) Tenements granted before 1 January 1994

The grant before 1 January 1994 of mining tenements over land other
than freehold, private land, “exclusive possession” leasehold or vested
reserve is an act that is capable of affecting native title and could have
been invalid under the RDA.  However, the NTA has validated any such
mining tenements.

To the extent that any tenements granted prior to 1 January 1994 may have been invalid by reason of native title and the operation of the RDA, those tenements were validated by the Validation (Native Title) Act 1994 (NT), enacted pursuant to Section 19 of the NTA.

There are no Tenements granted before 1 January 1994.

(b) Tenements granted since January 1994

Mining tenements granted since January 1994 may be invalid if they
were granted over land other than freehold, private land, “exclusive
possession” leasehold or vested reserve and the applicable processes
prescribed by the NTA were not complied with.
The following WA and NT Tenements have been granted on Pastoral
Land in the Northern Territory or in Western Australia since January 1994:
133
Holder Tenement
Orion Exploration Pty Ltd EL 23569, EL 24391, EL 24432, EL 24614
Jupiter Uranium Pty Ltd EL 25885, EL 26341
Broadgold Corporation Pty Ltd EL 29/581
On the basis that the procedural requirements of the NTA were
complied with prior to their grant, each of those WA and NT Tenements
is valid so far as native title is concerned.

(c) Future Tenement Grants

The valid grant of any of the current applications for Tenements which
may affect native title requires compliance with the provisions of the
NTA.
The NTA regulates all future actions (such as the grant of a mining
tenement) which affect native title rights. These actions are known as
“future acts”.  A future act will be valid if it falls within one of a number
of categories of land dealings specified in the NTA provided that there is
compliance with the applicable procedural requirements: NTA Part 2,
Division 3, Subdivisions B-P.
Accordingly, if the grant of any of the current applications for
Tenements situated on Pastoral Land affects native title, the grant will be
a future act and will be valid only if there has been compliance with the
relevant requirements of the NTA.  In order to determine whether the
grant of any of the current applications will affect native title, a
determination must be made as to whether the native title exists in the
area.  This will require a hearing by the Federal Court (or a consent
determination) as to the existence of native title, which could take
years.  However, in the interim, the validity of the grant of the current
applications for Tenements can be assured if the State or Territory and
the applicants for the Tenements comply with the requirements of the
NTA on the assumption that native title does in fact exist in the area.
These requirements are known as the “right to negotiate procedures”.
They are contained in Part 2 Division 3 Subdivision P of the NTA.  They
involve the notification and advertising of a proposed grant, negotiation
by the State or Territory and the tenement applicant with any registered
native title claimants and, if agreement cannot be reached,
determination by the National Native Title Tribunal.
In the case of low impact mining tenements, the State or Territory may
nominate that the NTA expedited procedure applies.  If the registered
native title claimants do not object to the expedited procedure within
four months after receiving notification of the proposed act, the grant
may proceed.  If they do object and the objection is upheld by the
National Native Title Tribunal, the right to negotiate procedure applies.
Tenements may also be validly granted under an Indigenous Land Use
Agreement (Subdivisions B, C and D of the NTA) which must be entered
into with all the registered native title claimants for the area and
registered under the NTA.

8. ABORIGINAL LAND RIGHTS ACT (ALRA)

8.1 Consent process under the ALRA

Part IV of the ALRA sets out the legislative scheme for mining on Aboriginal
Freehold Land.  As noted above, the NTA does not apply to acts affecting
Aboriginal Freehold Land.

Before an exploration licence application can be processed under the provisions of the ALRA, the Northern Territory Minister for Primary Industry, Fisheries and Resources ( NT Mining Minister ) must first give consent to the applicant to enter into negotiations with the relevant Land Council for its consent to the grant of the relevant exploration licence (“consent to negotiate”) (Section 137(1)(b) NT Mining Act).

Section 40 of the ALRA then provides that an exploration licence shall not be
granted to a person in respect of Aboriginal Freehold Land unless:
  • (a) the relevant Land Council gives consent to the grant of the licence under Section 42(1) of the ALRA;

  • (b) the Federal Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs ( Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister ) gives consent to the grant of the licence under Section 42(8) of the ALRA; and

  • (c) the Land Council and the applicant have entered into an agreement under Part IV of the ALRA regarding the terms and conditions to which the grant of the exploration licences will be subject.

After the NT Mining Minister has granted “consent to negotiate” under the NT
Mining Act, the applicant must submit an application in writing to the relevant
Land Council for consent to the grant of the licence within three months.

The Land Council must notify the applicant of its decision on whether or not to grant consent to the grant of the exploration licence before the expiry of the 22 month period commencing on 1 January in the calendar year after the calendar year in which the application is received by the Land Council ( Negotiating Period ). The applicant and the Land Council may agree in writing to extend the Negotiating Period by a further two years and thereafter for further periods of 12 months, subject to the approval of the Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister.

Where a Land Council refuses an application for consent on the advice of
traditional owners, and the applicant does not resubmit its application, or
agreement cannot be reached between the parties within the Negotiating
Period, the ALRA provides that the land the subject of the exploration licence
application be placed in moratorium for a five year period.  During this
moratorium period, no person may apply for an exploration licence in respect of
135
that land.  The applicant may retain the right to re-apply for an exploration
licence over the land at the end of this five year period.

8.2

Granted Tenements

In respect of those Tenements which are granted tenements situated on
Aboriginal Freehold Land, an agreement will have already been reached
between the applicant and the relevant Land Council in respect of the
conditions that are to apply to the use of the land and the rights of the
traditional owners in respect of that land.

10. SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON MALAWI LICENCES

10.1 Brief Background

In, Malawi, the searching for and mining of minerals is governed by the Mines and Minerals Act (the Act ), Chapter 61:01 of the Laws of Malawi.

In terms of ownership, minerals are owned by the people of Malawi, but the property in and control over them is vested in the President ( Head of State ) on behalf of the people of Malawi.

However, although the minerals belong to the people of Malawi, the Act
prohibits any person, including a citizen of Malawi, from carrying on
reconnaissance, prospecting or mining operations except under and in
accordance with a Mining Right, a non–exclusive prospecting licence or mineral
permit.  The definition of a Mining Right includes an exclusive prospecting
licence.  There are, of course, exceptions to the prohibition of carrying on
reconnaissance, prospecting or mining operations without a Mining Right.  These
exceptions are contained in Section 115 of the Act, and they are that the Act
does not operate to prevent:
  • (a) a citizen of Malawi from taking minerals of any kind from customary land in accordance with custom, and from which it has been customary to take minerals of that kind;

  • (b) a person from taking building and industrial minerals from land which he is the lawful occupier of for the purpose of construction on the land; and

  • (c) any forest officer, game control officer or national parks officer, in his official capacity, from taking in a forest reserve, a game reserve or a national park, as the case may be, building and industrial minerals for the purposes of building, bridge – building, road making and other constructional purposes in the reserve or park.

Section 116 of the Act introduces another exception to the prohibition of carrying on reconnaissance or prospecting operations without a Mining Right, a non–exclusive prospecting licence or a mineral permit. This exception is that even without these, a person may carry on reconnaissance or prospecting operations if such operations are in the course of a scientific investigation with respect to the geology or mineral resources of Malawi, and he has the consent of the Commissioner for Mines and Minerals (the Commissioner ) in writing.

10.2 Confirmation of Malawi Tenements

Exclusive Prospecting Licence No. EPL0219/2007 was originally granted to Red Rock Resources plc ( RRR ) on 27[th] June 2007 for three years, to prospect for uranium in a prospecting area comprising 210.9 square kilometres in Chintheche, northern Malawi. With the approval of the Minister, RRR transferred this licence to Retail Star Limited ( RSL ), on 4[th] February 2008. On 14[th] July 2008 RSL changed its name to Resource Star Limited ( RSL) and notified the Commissioner for Mines and Minerals in Malawi of this on 24[th] September 2008 so that the rights and obligations of Retail Star Limited under EPL0219/07 should continue under the new company’s name.

Exclusive Prospecting Licence No. EPL0230/07 was granted to Eastbourne Exploration Pty Limited ( Eastbourne ) on 12[th] December 2007 for three years, to prospect for uranium in a prospecting area comprising 378 square kilometres in

144

Machinga, southern Malawi. Apart from the prospecting for uranium, additional minerals have recently been added to EPL0230/07, namely tantalum, zirconium, titanium, thorium, gallium, hafnium, gold, niobium and rare earth elements. The prospecting area covered by EPL0230/07 has recently been increased from 378 Km ² to 885 Km ² . Although this licence is held by Eastbourne, the company is wholly owned by RSL, and therefore the licence is under the control of RSL.

RSL, through its said wholly owned subsidiary Eastbourne, has entered into a
conditional Joint Venture Agreement with Globe Metals & Mining Limited
(Globe).  That Agreement is for 80 years unless terminated earlier by either party
or by the occurrence of events therein specified.
Under the said Agreement, Eastbourne has agreed to grant Globe the right to
earn up to an 80% interest if Globe meets certain joint venture expenditure and
other obligations in relation to exploration for minerals on Eastbourne’s Malawi
exclusive prospecting licence number EPL0230/07.
Below are the salient aspects of the Agreement:

On 20[th] November 2009 Eastbourne and Globe Metals & Mining Limited ( Globe ) entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Eastbourne has agreed to grant Glove the right to earn up to an 80% interest by meeting certain expenditure and other obligations in relation to exploration for minerals on Eastbourne’s Malawian mineral right number EPL0230/07 ( Tenement ) ( Agreement ).

The Agreement is conditional on Globe completing a legal and technical due diligence on the Tenement and being satisfied with the outcome of that due diligence by no later than 2 months from the date of the Agreement ( Condition ).

First Earning Period

Between the date of satisfaction of the Condition ( Commencement Date ) and 12 months from the date of the Agreement ( First Earning Period ), Globe Subject agrees to sole fund $250,000 of joint venture expenditure in order to earn a 20% Joint Venture interest. Before being entitled to withdraw from the Agreement, Globe must contribute at least $250,000 to joint venture expenditure within 12 months of the Commencement Date. If Globe fails to contribute at least $250,000 to joint venture expenditure during the First Earning Period then it will be deemed to have withdrawn from this Agreement without acquiring a joint venture interest.

If Globe contributes the sum of $250,000 to joint venture expenditure during the
First Earning Period, Globe will be deemed to have acquired from Eastbourne a
beneficial 20% joint venture interest and Eastbourne agrees to immediately
transfer a 20% joint venture interest to Globe.

Second Earning Period

Within 30 days of the end of the First Earning Period, Globe may by notice to
Eastbourne, elect to either:
  • (a) sole fund a further sum of $2,250,000 of joint venture expenditure during the Second Earning Period (defined below); or

  • (b) not continue to sole fund joint venture expenditure, in which case (subject to dilution discussed below) the parties will contribute joint

145
venture expenditure in proportion to their respective joint venture
interest; or
  • (c) withdraw from the Joint Venture and relinquish its joint venture interest to Eastbourne.
If Globe fails to make an election during the 30 day period, it will be deemed to
have made the election in paragraph (b).
The Second Earning Period will commence on the date of Globe's election and
will end on the earlier of:
  • (d) the date Globe has either contributed a further sum of $2,250,000 to joint venture expenditure (so that its total contribution to sole funding joint venture expenditure will be $2,500,000); or

  • (e) three (3) years after the end of the First Earning Period, so long as:

  • (i) a minimum of $500,000 is spent in the first 12 months of the Second Earning Period; and

  • (ii) a minimum of $250,000 is spent in the second 12 months of the Second Earning Period; and

  • (iii) a minimum aggregate of $1,000,000 of expenditure over the first 24 months of the Second Earning Period ( Second Earning Period ).

If and only if Globe contributes a further sum of $2,250,000 to joint venture
expenditure during the Second Earning Period (so that its total contribution  to
sole funding joint venture expenditure will be $2,500,000), Globe will be deemed
to have acquired from Eastbourne a further 31% joint venture  interest so
that, at the end of the Second Earning Period, the joint venture interest of the
Participants will be:
  • (a) Globe: 51%

  • (b) Eastbourne: 49%

Upon spending a further sum of $2,250,000 to joint venture expenditure during
the Second Earning Period, and to the extent permitted by the Mining Act or
otherwise, Eastbourne agrees to immediately transfer a further 31% joint venture
interest to Globe.  If Globe fails to spend the further sum of $2,250,000 on joint
venture expenditure during the Second Earning Period then, at the end of the
Second Earning Period, the joint venture interests of the Participants will remain:
  • (a) Globe: 20%

  • (b) Eastbourne: 80%

Third Earning Period

Within 30 days of the end of the Second Earning Period, Globe may by notice to
Eastbourne, elect to either:
  • (a) sole fund joint venture expenditure during the Third Earning Period with a view to achieving a JORC and/or NI43-101 classified Resource (at least
146
to an Inferred status, and either completed, or reviewed and accepted,
by an independent Expert) of a minimum of 45,000t Nb2O5 (including
equivalent value from tantalum, rare earth elements, and yttrium),
according to the formula:
Nb2O5 equivalent grade = (1 x Nb2O5) + (4 x Ta2O5) + (0.42 x (TREO+Y))

where TREO+Y = total rare earth oxides plus yttrium oxide, with a minimum grade of 1,500ppm of Nb2O5 (or equivalents) ( JORC Milestone ); or

  • (b) not continue to sole fund joint venture expenditure, in which case (subject to dilution discussed below) the parties will contribute to joint venture expenditure in proportion to their respective joint venture interests.
If Globe fails to make an election during the 30 day period, it will be deemed to
have made the election in paragraph (b) above.
The Third Earning Period will commence on the date of Globe's election above
and will end on the earlier of:
  • (a) the date Globe has achieved the JORC Milestone (to a standard that is verified by an independent third party geologist); or

  • (b) two years after the end of the Second Earning Period.

If Globe satisfies the JORC Milestone, Globe will be deemed to have acquired
from Eastbourne a further 19% joint venture interest so that, at the end of the
Second Earning Period, the joint venture interest of the Participants will be:
  • (a) Globe: 70%

  • (b) Eastbourne: 30%

Upon Globe satisfying the JORC Milestone, and to the extent permitted by the
Mining Act or otherwise, Eastbourne agrees to immediately transfer a further 19%
joint venture interest to Globe.  If Globe fails to achieve the JORC Milestones
during the Third Earning Period then, at the end of the Third Earning Period, the
joint venture interests of the Participants will remain:
  • (a) Globe: 51%

  • (b) Eastbourne: 49%

Fourth Earning Period

Within 30 days of the end of the Third Earning Period, provided that Globe has
satisfied the JORC Milestone in accordance with clause 4.3(b)(i), Globe may by
notice to Eastbourne, elect to either:
  • (a) sole fund joint venture expenditure during the Fourth Earning Period by completing a feasibility study, with engineering costings to the +/-25% level, in relation to the resource defined in accordance with clause 4.3(a)(i) ( Feasibility Study Milestone ); or

  • (b) not continue to sole fund joint venture expenditure, in which case (subject to dilution discussed below) the parties will contribute to joint

147
venture expenditure in proportion to their respective joint venture
interests.
If Globe fails to make an election during the 30 day period, it will be deemed to
have made the election in paragraph (b) above.
The Fourth Earning Period will commence on the date of Globe's election above
and will end on the earlier of:
  • (a) the date Globe has achieved the Feasibility Study Milestone (to a standard that is verified by an independent third party Expert); or

  • (b) two years after the end of the Third Earning Period.

If Globe satisfies the Feasibility Study Milestone Globe will be deemed to have
acquired from Eastbourne a further 10% joint venture interest so that, at the end
of the Second Earning Period, the joint venture interest of the Participants will be:
  • (c) Globe: 80%

  • (d) Eastbourne: 20%

Upon Globe satisfying the Feasibility Study Milestone and to the extent permitted
by the Mining Act or otherwise, Eastbourne agrees to immediately transfer a
further 10% joint venture interest to Globe. If Globe fails to achieve the JORC
Milestones during the Fourth Earning Period then, at the end of the Fourth
Earning Period, the joint venture interests of the Participants will remain:
  • (a) Globe: 70%

  • (b) Eastbourne: 30%

Manager and Management Committee

On and from the Commencement Date, Globe will be the manager of the joint
venture, and the parties agree to form and maintain an operating committee.
Each of the parties is entitled to appoint a representative to the operating
committee.

Cash Calls and Dilution

During the Earning Period Globe will be responsible for funding all joint venture
expenditure. After the earning period all parties are liable to contribute to joint
venture expenditure in proportion to their joint venture interests.
Within 14 days after approval by the operating Committee of a programme and
budget, any party may elect not to contribute to the programme or budget

If a party ( Diluting Party ) elects not to contribute to a programme or budget or is deemed to have elected not to contribute to a programme or budget and the other party ( Contributing Party ) make(s) any contribution thereto, then until that time that the Diluting Party's Interest is reduced to less than 5%:

  • (a) the parties must calculate the total joint venture expenditure incurred by all parties as at the date of that the Diluting Party makes the election’
148
  • (b) the Diluting Party's Interest will be reduced by one percentage point for each amount that represents 1% of the total joint venture expenditure that is not incurred by the Diluting Party but is incurred by the Contributing Party or Contributing Parties;
The process above) will continue throughout that period during which the
Diluting Party does not contribute to expenditure and the joint venture interest of
the Contributing Party will correspondingly increase.
If a party elects to dilute its joint venture interest then, subject to clause 9.3(c), it
has a once only right to elect to recommence contributing to future
programmes and budgets. If the Diluting party elects to re-commence
contributions, then it must contribute to further joint venture expenditure in
proportion to its joint venture interest.
If the Diluting party's joint venture interest is diluted to 5% or less, then that party
must either elect to either:
  • (a) re-commence contributing to joint venture expenditure – in which case it will maintain its 5% joint venture interest (and any default in contributing its share of joint venture expenditure will result in its withdrawal from the joint venture 13; or

  • (b) not re-commence contributions to joint venture expenditure – in which case it will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Joint Venture and the Diluting party's joint venture interest will be deemed to have been assigned to the non-diluting party.

Notwithstanding the above if the joint venture interest of Eastbourne reduces by dilution to less than 5%, Eastbourne will be entitled to put its interest, and Globe will be able to call to acquire the interest, at any time by notice in writing to the other party ( Notice ). The price at which the joint venture interest held by Eastbourne will be acquired by Globe will be mutually agreed or, in the absence of mutual agreement within 20 Business Days of receipt of the Notice, as determined by an independent expert.

Once the value of Eastbourne’s joint venture interest has either been mutually
agreed or determined by the Expert, Globe must acquire the interest for, at
Globe’s election, either a cash sum or shares equivalent to the mutually agreed
or determined value. Eastbourne will then be deemed to have withdrawn from
the Joint Venture and the joint venture interest of Eastbourne will be deemed to
have been assigned to Globe.

Right of First Refusal – Livingstonia Project

The parties agree that, in the event that Globe proceeds to a joint venture in
respect of the tenements comprising its Livingstonia Project in Malawi at any
time within 12 months from the date of the Agreement, Globe agrees to first
offer, in writing, the exclusive right to enter into such joint venture arrangements
to Eastbourne, upon such terms that are standard to joint venture arrangements
and otherwise on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed by the parties
under a formal agreement.
Eastbourne must accept Globe’s offer under clause within 45 days of receipt of
written notice from Globe, failing which Globe will have the right to offer the joint
venture arrangements to any third party but on no more favourable terms than
as offered to Eastbourne originally.
149
In the event that Eastbourne accepts Globe’s offer the joint venture
arrangements will be conditional upon Eastbourne completing due diligence on
Globe and the Livingstonia Project, and being satisfied with the results of that
due diligence.
The Agreement contains standard default, withdrawal, representations and
warranties of an agreement of this kind.

10.3 Exclusive Prospecting Licenses (EPLs)

EPLs are the essence of this report.  An EPL is a licence granted under Section 26
of the Act.  When granted and while it has effect, an EPL confers on the holder
of the licence the exclusive right to carry on prospecting operations, in the
prospecting area, for the mineral to which the licence relates.  For the purpose
of exercising that right, the holder may, subject to the Act and to the conditions
of the licence, either himself or by way of his employees or agents, enter the
prospecting area and erect camps and temporary buildings, or erect
installations in any waters which form part of the prospecting area.
The contents of an EPL are:
  • (a) the date of the grant of the licence and the period for which it is granted.

  • (b) the name of the mineral in respect of which it is granted.

  • (c) a description of the land covered by the licence, and, if the Minister so directs, a plan of the area.

  • (d) the conditions on which it is granted. These conditions are usually:

  • (i) programme of operations and minimum amount to be expended on those operations;

  • (ii) requirement to employ and train Malawians and to employ non – citizens only if the skills required in that post are not locally available; and

  • (iii) the requirement to purchase local goods and services if the same can be obtained at competitive terms, and are of a quality comparable with those available from outside Malawi.

  • (e) covenants by the licensee. The usual covenants are:

  • (i) to comply with all obligations imposed by an Act of Parliament, particularly the Mines and Minerals Act;

151
  • (ii) to conserve and protect the environment;

  • (iii) to fill in or fence off deep pits, trenches and excavations;

  • (iv) to re-instate, level, re-grass and replant any part of the licensed area which may have been damaged by the prospecting operations; and

  • (v) not to pollute any streams or rivers.

  • (f) reservation of the Minister’s power to cancel the licence.

  • (g) appendices in the form of a map of the licensed area with the relevant coordinates, a programme of prospecting work, and a programme for the employment and training of citizens of Malawi.

Sometimes there may be included in an EPL a provision for the exercise by the
Government or a person named or identified in the licence, of an option to
acquire on specified terms, or on terms to be agreed, an interest in any mining
venture which may be carried on or in relation to the land which constitutes the
prospecting area.

10.4 Reporting Requirements

Every quarter the holder of an EPL is required to submit a report in writing to the
Minister (through the Commissioner), indicating what he has done and
expended in the quarter ended.  A quarter begins running from the date of
grant of the licence stated in the licence, and thenceforth.
In addition to these quarterly reports, the licence is further subject to the
condition that every year, the holder must submit to the Minister a detailed and
adequate report of what he did in the year ending, how much he expended on
the prospecting operations, and setting out a programme of work to be carried
out and expenditure to be made in the year of licence commencing.  This
report must be submitted not later than one month before the anniversary in
every year of the grant of the licence.  No further reports are required other than
the quarterly and annual reports.

10.5 Term of EPL

The term or tenure of an EPL is the period for which the licence is granted, not
exceeding three years, stated in the licence.  However, where the Minister is
satisfied that an initial period is required to make the necessary preparations to
carry on prospecting operations, he may specify in an EPL a period, not
exceeding three months, as the preparation period.  In that case the
preparation period plus the period stated in the EPL as the term of the EPL will
together be taken as the term of the EPL.  The term of the EPL commences on
and includes the date of the grant of the licence.
Where the holder of an EPL applies for the grant of a mining licence over the
area which constitutes the prospecting area, and the application remains
undealt with up to the date of expiry of the licence, the EPL continues to have
effect over that area of land until
  • (a) notice is given to the applicant of the refusal to grant the mining licence; or
152
(b)notice is given to the applicant of the date of the grant of the mining
licence.

10.6 Period within which to commence Prospecting Operations

Once an EPL is granted, the holder must commence prospecting operations
within three months from the date of the grant of the licence stated in the
licence.  In so carrying out the prospecting operations, the holder must do so in
accordance with his programme of prospecting operations.

10.7 Notice to commence prospecting operations

Before commencing prospecting operations in any private land, the holder of
an EPL is required to give to any lawful occupier of the land notice of his
intention to commence operations, in such manner and form as may be
prescribed.

10.8 Discovery of mineral or mineral deposit

The holder is required to give notice to the Minister of discovery of any mineral to
which the licence relates of possible commercial value.  If the discovery is of any
mineral deposit of possible commercial value, he must give notice of such
discovery to the Minister within thirty days of the discovery.

10.9 Other duties of EPL holder

Furthermore, the holder, in the entire term of the EPL, must expend in relation to
the prospecting area, an amount not less than the amount required by and
indicated on the licence.
The holder must also employ and train citizens of Malawi in accordance with the
proposals in the programme for the employment and training of citizens of
Malawi appended to the licence.
The final duty of the holder is to carry on prospecting operations in accordance
with the Act.
A holder may, of course, apply to the Minister to limit, reduce, vary or suspend
any obligation to which he is subject, and if satisfied, the Minister may grant the
application, with or without conditions.

10.10 Expenditure

Currently the application fee for an EPL in Malawi is MK5,000.00 which is non-
refundable if the application is not granted.  When granted, the licence will not
be released until the applicant pays in full annual ground rent for the
prospecting area for the first year, which currently is MK100.00 per square
kilometre.
The amount shown on the licence as the required expenditure is a projected
expenditure on the prospecting operations in the entire term of the licence.
There is no expected annual expenditure, provided that by the end of the term
of the EPL, the holder shall have expended the amount required by the licence.
For RSL’s tenements EPL0219/2007 (Chintheche) and EPL0230/07 (Machinga), RSL
is expected to expend MK52,500,000.00 and MK49,000,000.00, respectively by
the end of the terms of the EPLs.  However with the extension of prospecting
153

area for EPL0230/07 from 378 Km ² to 885 Km ² the expected expenditure will be more than K49,000,000.00.

The expenditure requirement for EPL0264/08 on Ilomba Hill is K14,100,000.00 by
the end of the term of the licence.
Where it is so agreed in a separate Agreement between the Government of the
Republic of Malawi and the holder of the licence, or where there is a condition
to that effect in the licence, the shortfall between the amount projected to be
expended in the entire term of the EPL and the amount actually expended is a
debt to the Government of the Republic of Malawi, which may be recovered in
a court of law.  This condition is on both licences of RSL.

10.11 Renewal of EPL

The holder of an EPL may apply for the renewal of the licence in respect of an
area of land of such shape as may be prescribed, and which is not greater in
extent than half of the prospecting area for which the licence was originally
granted.  Such application for renewal must be made not later than three
months before the expiration of the licence.  An application for renewal of an
EPL must state the period for which renewal of the licence is sought, and must
be accompanied with:
  • (a) a report on prospecting operations then carried out and the costs incurred in carrying them out;

  • (b) a statement giving particulars of the programme of prospecting operations proposed to be carried out in the period of renewal, an estimate of any significant effect which the prospecting operations, if carried out, would likely have on the environment and on any monument or relic in the area over which renewal of the licence is sought, and an estimate of the cost of carrying out the programme;

  • (c) a plan identifying the area of land in respect of which renewal of the licence is sought; and

  • (d) particulars of any alteration in the financial and technical resources available to the applicant originally given on the first application for an EPL.

The Minister will refuse to renew the licence if:
  • (e) the applicant is in default;

  • (f) the programme of prospecting operations proposed to be carried out is not satisfactory; or

  • (g) the area of land for which renewal of the licence is sought does not meet the prescribed shape or is greater in extent than half of the prospecting area as at the date of the original grant of the licence.

What is further worthy of note is that an application for the renewal of an EPL
may be made on not more than two occasions.
154

10.12 Transfer of EPL

The transfer of an EPL by the holder is of no force and is regarded as vending
unless the Minister approves.  An application for approval by the Minister to
transfer an EPL is made to the Commissioner.  The Minister may approve or reject
the application, and where approved, the approval may be subject to such
conditions as he may deem necessary, having regard to the circumstances.
The Minister will approve the transfer of an EPL when the transferee:
  • (a) is a person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the transferor; and

  • (b) is not disqualified under the Act from holding a Mineral Right.

However, legal proceedings not commenced may be commenced and those
already commenced may be continued against the former holder of the
licence notwithstanding the transfer.

10.13 Register

The Register of every Mineral Right maintained by the Commissioner is at all
reasonable times open for inspection by any person on payment of the
prescribed fee, and a person may take copies of any licence or entry in the
Register on payment of the prescribed fee.

10.14 Compensation

Where, in the course of prospecting operations, any disturbance of the rights of
the lawful occupier of any land or damage to any crops, trees, buildings, stock
or works thereon is caused, the holder of the EPL by virtue of which the
operations are carried on is liable to pay the lawful occupier fair and reasonable
compensation in respect of the disturbance or damage.
The amount of compensation payable may be agreed between the holder of
the licence and the lawful occupier.  If not so agreed, the compensation may
be assessed by the Commissioner.

10.15

Disputes

Disputes between persons engaged in reconnaissance, prospecting or mining
operations, either among themselves, or in relation to themselves and third
parties, other than the Government, may be inquired into and determined by
the Commissioner.

10.16 Limitations and qualifications

This report is limited to the requirements for a due diligence on RSL’s two
tenements EPL0219/2007 (Chintheche) and EPL0230/2007 (Machinga) as well as
RSL’s joint prospecting venture under a Joint Venture Agreement with
Nyalihanga Enterprises, holder of EPL0264/08 (Chitipa), all in Malawi.  The scope
of this report is limited to EPLs in Malawi which are either currently held by RSL or
in which RSL has an opportunity to acquire an interest, and it is in accordance
with the instructions we had from RSL, to prepare a solicitor’s report on the
Malawi tenements.  We did not state the general law in Malawi as it relates to
mining.  We limited the report to the law as it relates to EPLs.
155

10.17 Purpose

This report is given pursuant to our agreement to undertake the due diligence on
RSL’s two Malawian tenements, EPL0219/2007 (Chintheche) and EPL0230/2007

11. RISK FACTORS

11.1 Specific Australian Risks

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.
 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.
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims
involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

Tenure and Access

Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no
guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production
tenements will be approved.
The Company’s tenements are subject to numerous State-specific legislation
conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the
discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased
expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of
the tenements comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new
conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the
operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company

Uranium Specific Risks

The current and future operations of the Company in relation to uranium,
including exploration, appraisal and production activities, may be affected by a
range of factors, including:

Government regulation and policy

Uranium mining in Australia is subject to extensive regulation by State and
Federal Governments in relation to exploration, development, production,
exports, taxes and royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste
disposal, protection and rehabilitation of the environment, mine reclamation,
mine safety, toxic and radioactive substances, native title and other matters.
Compliance with such laws and regulations may increase the costs of exploring,
drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other
production facilities.
157
The Federal Government currently permits the mining and export of uranium
under strict international agreements designed to prevent the proliferation of
nuclear weapons. The export of uranium is controlled by the Federal
Government through its licensing process and it is understood that Australian
uranium can only be exported to those countries who undertake to use it for
peaceful purposes.

Mining Policy

Both Federal Coalition and Labour Party policy favours the development of new
uranium mines, albeit under strict environmental, heritage and nuclear
safeguards. However, there can be no assurance that the policy will not change
in the future and this may adversely affect the long-term prospects of the
Company.
Mining uranium in Western Australia was prohibited under the policy of the
former State Government from June 2002 until to September 2008. On
November 17, 2008, the current State Government revoked the ban and is now
focusing on developing this sector.  Although the ban on uranium mining was
only lifted recently, Western Australian regulators and the mining industry have
been managing the safe mining, transport and export of radioactive material in
the mineral sands and tantalum sectors for 40 years. The WA Government is
working closely with other States to build on their industry experience and is
committed to ensuring that further development of Western Australia’s
regulatory framework is world’s best practice and that associated departments
have the resources to deal with radiation issues associated with uranium mining.

Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act 1953 (Cth) and the Northern Territory SelfGovernment) Regulations 1978 (Cth) the Commonwealth has reserved its powers on uranium mining in the Northern Territory. The NT Mining Act requires that the Northern Territory Minister for Mines must consult with the Commonwealth Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources before granting a mining title that relates to uranium, and must act in accordance with any advice that the Commonwealth Minister provides.

The Tasmanian Government supports exploration to the usual mining and
environmental approval processes. In 2007 the Government and Opposition
jointly voted down a Greens party proposal to ban uranium exploration and
development in Tasmania.
The Government of Malawi is currently in the process of putting in place a
uranium mining legislation as the country does not currently have such
legislation.
There can be no assurance that these policies will not change in the future and
this may adversely affect the long-term prospects of the Company.

Export Policy

The Commonwealth Government maintains tight controls over the export of
uranium through its licensing process. Uranium may only be sold and exported in
accordance with the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations (Cth) and the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation (Safeguards) Act (Cth). Australian uranium can only be
exported to countries that undertake to use it for peaceful purposes. Uranium
mining itself is also extensively regulated. Complying with these laws and
regulations increases the cost of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing,
operating and closing mines and other production facilities. The approvals
158
required are more rigorous than those for the mining of other metals. There is a
risk that should economic deposits of uranium be discovered, the requisite
government approvals may not be granted or may be significantly delayed,
thereby rendering the deposits uneconomic.

Competition from alternative energy and public perception

Nuclear energy is in direct competition with other, more conventional sources of
energy which include oil, gas, coal and hydro-electricity. These conventional
energy sources may be provided at lower cost resulting in a decrease in
demand for uranium.
Furthermore, the growth of the nuclear power industry (and resulting increase in
the demand for uranium) beyond its current level will depend upon continued
and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating
electricity. The nuclear industry is currently subject to negative public opinion
due to political, technological and environmental factors. This may have an
adverse impact on the demand for uranium and increase the regulation of
uranium mining.
One of the arguments for nuclear energy is its substantially reduced level of
carbon emissions. Alternative energy systems such as wind or solar also have
very low levels, if any, of carbon emissions. However, to date these have not
been efficient enough to be relied upon. Technology changes may occur that
make alternative energy systems more efficient and reliable.

11.2 Specific Malawian Risks

Government Regulation and Policy

All minerals in Malawi are vested in the President on behalf of the Malawian
people. The exploration, mining and disposal of these minerals are governed by
the Mines and Minerals Act 1981. The Administration of the Act is the
responsibility of the Commissioner for Mines and Minerals in the Ministry of Energy
and Mining.
There are numerous companies presently engaged in mining activities in Malawi.
The Directors of the Company are unaware of any legislation or policy within
Malawi which could adversely affect the establishment of mining operations
within the country.
There are risks attaching to exploration operations in a developing country which
are not necessarily present in a developed country which can impact on a
range of factors such as sovereign risk, safety, security, costs, ability to operate,
country policy, fiscal provisions and laws and can lead to delays or even the
suspension of operations.
No assurance can be given regarding future stability in Malawi or any other
country in which the Company may have an interest.

Sovereign risk

Some of the Company’s project interests are located in Malawi which is
considered to be a developing country and as such subject to emerging legal
and political systems compared with the system in place in Australia.
159
Possible sovereign risks include without limitation changes in the terms of mining
tenements, changes to royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and
concessions and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights.  Any of these
factors may in the future adversely affect the financial performance of the
Company and the market price of its Shares.
No assurance can be given regarding future stability in Malawi.

Title Risks

The mining tenements in which the Company has or may acquire an interest in
are subject to the applicable local laws and regulations.  There is no guarantee
that any tenement applications or conversions in which the Company has a
current or potential interest will be granted.
Tenements (or applications) in which the Company has an interest are (or, if
granted, will be) subject to the relevant conditions applying in Malawi.  Failure to
comply with these conditions may render the licences liable to forfeiture.
All of the projects in which the Company has an interest will be subject to
application for tenement renewal from time to time.  Renewal of the term of
each tenement is subject to applicable legislation.  If a tenement is not renewed
for any reason, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the
opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.
However, the Directors are not aware of any reason why renewal of the term of
any tenement will not be granted.
The Company is reliant to a certain extent on the cooperation and compliance
of parties to the agreements to which it is a party.

Legal System in Malawi

The legal system operating in Malawi may be less developed than more
established countries, which may result in risk such as:
  • (a) 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;

  • (b) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies;

  • (c) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or

  • (d) the relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters.

There can be no assurance joint ventures, licences, license application or other
legal arrangements will not be adversely effected by the actions of the
government authorities or others and the effectiveness of and enforcement of
such arrangements cannot be assured.

11.3 No guarantee of exploration success

Mineral exploration is inherently associated with risk. Notwithstanding the
experience, knowledge and careful evaluation a company brings to an
exploration project there is no assurance that recoverable and saleable mineral
resources will be identified. Even if mineral resources are identified, other factors
160
such as technical difficulties, geological conditions, adverse changes in
government policy or legislation or lack of access to sufficient funding may
mean that the resource is not economically recoverable or may otherwise
preclude the Company from successfully exploiting the discovery.
Investors should note that in relation to its Projects, any potential quantity and
grade is conceptual in nature and, there has been insufficient exploration to
define a mineral resource in respect of the Projects at the date of this Prospectus
and that it is uncertain that further exploration will result in the determination of a
mineral resource.

11.4 Compulsory Work Obligations

Each of the Company’s tenements is subject to expenditure and work
commitments which must be met in order to keep such tenements in good
standing. These commitments may be varied on application by the tenement
holder but any such variation is at the sole discretion of the Minister administering
the relevant mining legislation. If no variation is approved, and there is failure to
meet the commitments, this could lead to forfeiture of the tenement.

11.5 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, which
activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and
financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

11.6 Funding Risk and Future Capital Needs

In the event the Company does not achieve the minimum subscription under
this Prospectus, there is a risk that it may not be able to continue to fund its
ongoing exploration programs (unless another funding source can be secured).
This could adversely affect the ability of the Company to grow organically or
through acquisitions.
In these circumstances, shareholders may face the loss of a substantial portion of
their investment.

11.7 General Economic Climate

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, supply and
demand of capital and industrial disruption have an impact on business costs,
commodity prices and stock market prices.  The Company’s operating costs,
possible future revenues and future profitability can be affected by these
factors, which are beyond the control of the Company.

11.8 Potential Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or
significant investments in, complementary companies, products or technologies.

13.3 Relationship with Red Resources Rock plc

Red Rock Resources plc (a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and listed on AIM) ( Red Rock ) is a substantial holder of the Company and Mr Andrew Bell is a director of Red Rock. As at the date of this Prospectus, Red Rock

173
Resources has a relevant interest in 9,635,295, Shares which equates to a 24.44%
voting interest in the Company.
As announced to ASX and referred to throughout this Prospectus, the Company
has acquired, or agreed to acquire, certain tenements from Red Rock since
mid-late 2007. Details of the relevant tenements and acquisition transactions are
contained in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 8, the Solicitors’
Reports on the Australian and Malawian Tenements in Sections 10 and 10
respectively, and Sections 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 and 12.8 of this Prospectus.
Specifically, on 6 August 2007, the Company’s shareholders agreed to the
Company acquiring a uranium exploration company, Orion Exploration Pty Ltd,
from Red Rock, together with uranium exploration rights in E29/581. As part of the
arrangement, Red Rock also transferred into the Company certain Malawian
exploration licences.
As a result of the acquisitions described above, in July 2008, the Company
obtained shareholder approval to change the nature of its activities to a mining
exploration entity targeting uranium. As part of the re-compliance process, the
Company lodged a prospectus (including supplementary prospectuses) with the
ASIC in July 2008. However due to downturn in the economic market, the
Company withdrew the offers under the prospectus. Since then, consistent
financial support has been provided by Red Rock to enable the Company to
continue to fund its exploration programmes, acquire additional tenement
holdings and continue to provide sufficient working capital to enable the
Company to continue as a going concern.
On 14 October 2008, the Red Rock provided the Company with a letter of
support, pursuant to which Red Rock stated its intention to provide sufficient
working capital for the period of 12 months from the date of that letter (being up
until October 2009). On 7 August 2009, Red Rock provided the Company with a
further letter of support extending the loan repayment date that the Company
completes its audit for the year ending 30 June 2010 (subject to the Company
having the capacity at that time to repay the loan).
The Company has not drawn down on the loan since October 2009.
Pursuant to a letter agreement dated 12 November 2009, Red Rock and the
Company have agreed that, of the total amount of A$493,511 owing to Red
Rock, A$490,000 will be repaid through the issue of 2,450,000 fully paid ordinary

of the Loan (following the issue of the Shares) will be satisfied by the Company
immediately at the election of Red Rock, which can be made at any time
(provided that it is reasonable and in the ordinary course of business).
Following the issue of Shares, the Company will have satisfied all debt owing to
Red Rock and the loan arrangements will be at an end. If the Offer made
pursuant to this Prospectus is successful, the Company will have sufficient
working capital and will no longer require financial support.
As a result of the acquisition of Shares under this Prospectus and the issue of
shares in consideration of the Sale Agreement (refer to Sections 12.5 and 12.8 of
