INvESTMENT hIGhLIGhTS

coppermoly limited is a newly formed copper-gold explorer that was established to evaluate advanced porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold projects in Papua New Guinea.

highly prospective tenements

coppermoly has acquired two advanced exploration tenements, named Simuku and nakru, on the island of new Britain in papua new guinea. the islands of new guinea have a relative abundance of large copper-gold-(molybdenum) deposits including ertsberg/grassberg, ok tedi, Freida river, porgera, Yandera, lihir and panguna.

the Simuku and nakru projects are easily accessed and are highly prospective for large, porphyry-style, copper-molybdenum-gold deposits.

Exploration well advanced

the properties offer:

  • three large mineralised systems already defined, related to quartz diorite intrusions;

  • exploration is well advanced with numerous trench and drill intersections of significant grade copper and/or gold, including the following drill intersections:

(plesyumi)
  • evidence for copper grade enhancement through secondary enrichment;

  • significant molybdenum mineralisation on the Simuku property with potential for high grade molybdenum deposits;

  • numerous targets ready for immediate drill testing; and

  • potential for a Jorc compliant resource within 2 years.

Potential for large deposits

porphyry deposits are large systems typically extending vertically for several hundred metres. neither of coppermoly’s properties has been extensively drill-tested at depth - only two holes are deeper than 200m - and the directors believe there is significant potential for the discovery of large deposits at depth and adjacent to the known mineralization.

Availability of Geological Data

a very large geological and mineral database is available for the Simuku and nakru properties. the database has been compiled from government survey and open file company reports, and includes data not in the public domain but available to coppermoly.

Accessibility and proximity to infrastructure

the Simuku and nakru properties are both well located near the town of kimbe and close to essential infrastructure including roads, an airfield and a deep water port. this should result in lower exploration and development costs.

Board and management team with a wealth of experience

the company has assembled a quality Board and management team highly experienced in exploration projects in papua new guinea. their experience encompasses most aspects of resource exploration, evaluation and development.

Risks

there are risks associated with investing in coppermoly. coppermoly is a minerals exploration company. Minerals exploration is inherently risky and uncertain.

You should regard an investment in coppermoly as speculative.

a further explanation of risks is set out in Section 4 of this prospectus.

ChAIRMAN’S LETTER

25th october 2007

dear investor,

on behalf of my fellow Directors, it is my pleasure to offer you the opportunity of becoming a shareholder in coppermoly Limited (the company or coppermoly). coppermoly is a mineral exploration company with copper, molybdenum and gold tenements located on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

the purpose of the offer is to raise up to $20,000,000 by the issue of 80,000,000 shares at 0.25 cents each. these funds will be used to fund a continuing exploration programme on the company’s PNG tenements with the aim of defining a Jorc compliant resource within two years. the projects will be acquired from canadian-listed New Guinea Gold corporation.

We believe that this is an exceptional opportunity to become involved in potentially very significant copper/ molybdenum/gold projects located close to essential infrastructure for exploration and mine development.

Why do we believe this is an excellent investment opportunity? Let me outline briefly some of the salient points.

  • PNG is known to contain major copper/gold and copper/molybdenum deposits such as the ok tedi mine, the former Panguna mine, and the Yandera, Frieda river and Kodu deposits. the country hosts very large orebodies, which means coppermoly is exploring in the right geological environment.

  • coppermoly has an agreement to acquire two exploration tenements that provide title over three separate porphyry systems, namely simuku, Nakru and Plesyumi, in New Britain. the prospects were first discovered in the 1960’s and 1970’s but low metal prices during the ensuing two decades discouraged their detailed evaluation. All three systems are prospective for copper/gold or copper/molybdenum deposits, and simuku is also prospective for high grade molybdenum deposits.

  • these projects are not grassroots. Much surface exploration, including some 54 drill holes and approximately 40km of bulldozer trenching, has already been completed, and widespread copper/ gold mineralisation has been defined over at least 3 to 5 sq km at each prospect, including the following drill intersections:

Simuku

  • 63m at 0.52% cu and 0.12g/t Au 77m at 0.49% cu and 0.11g/t Au 58m at 0.53% cu and 0.10g/t Au 7m at 0.61% Mo

nakru

94m at 0.43% cu and 0.46g/t Au 205m at 0.40% cu incl 74m at 0.78% cu 44m at 0.85% cu (Plesyumi)

  • With most necessary surface exploration already completed, coppermoly’s objective is to define, over the next 2 years, Jorc compliant resources with grades greater than 0.5% copper equivalent, and to advance at least one prospect to the pre-feasibility stage.

  • the projects are comparatively well situated for development, with nearby road access and access to the deep water port and existing infrastructure of Kimbe (capital of West New Britain Province). the logistics are relatively easy compared to other similar deposits in PNG.

  • With the present copper, molybdenum and gold prices, three to eight times higher than in the 1990’s, the properties are now very attractive for sustained exploration and mine development. With low worldwide inventories for copper and molybdenum, sustained demand from china and India, we believe that metal prices will remain high and attractive for the foreseeable future.

4 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

==> picture [596 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Board and Management of coppermoly has very extensive experience in PNG and brings together an excellent combination of corporate, financial and technical expertise, ensuring sound management in future development.

on behalf of the Directors, I commend this offer to you and recommend that you study this Prospectus carefully. I look forward to you participating in this offer as a shareholder.

Yours sincerely,

1.19 Escrow Provisions

AsX may, as a condition of granting coppermoly’s application for official Quotation of its shares, classify all or some of the existing shares in coppermoly as restricted securities. If so, these restricted securities will not be officially quoted during the escrow period. In addition, prior to official Quotation of the nonrestricted shares, the holders of the restricted shares will be required to enter into restriction agreements with coppermoly in accordance with the Listing rules.

Matters not yet known to the company or not currently considered material to the company may impact on these forward-looking statements. the statements reflect views held only as at the date of this Prospectus. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this Prospectus might not occur. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements.

the Directors expect that the restriction agreements will prohibit the transfer of effective ownership or control of:

  • (a) all of the shares held by NGG canada and Kanon canada from 24 months from the date of quotation; and

  • (b) some or all of the shares (based on the application of the cash formula described in the Listing rules – the company expects this will result in 80% of these shares being restricted) held by:

  • (i) related parties of the company for 24 months from the date of quotation; and

  • (ii) other existing shareholders for 12 months from the date of issue of those shares.

the application of the escrow provisions of the Listing rules is a matter for AsX to determine. AsX may impose restrictions on shares different to the restrictions anticipated by the company as described above.

1.20 Forward-Looking Statements

coppermoly is predominantly a copper exploration company. Given the speculative nature of exploration, there are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenue. on this basis, the Directors believe that reliable forecasts cannot be prepared and accordingly have not included forecasts in this Prospectus.

Notwithstanding the above, this Prospectus includes, or may include, forward-looking statements including, without limitation, forward-looking statements regarding the company’s financial position, business strategy, and plans and objectives for its projects and future operations (including development plans and objectives), which have been based on the company’s current expectations about future events. these forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the company’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which the company will operate in the future.

2.0 COMPANY OvERvIEW & PROJECT PORTFOLIO

2.1 Company history

coppermoly was incorporated on 27 July 2007 to explore for, evaluate, develop and mine copper and molybdenum mineral resources in Papua New Guinea (or png) on properties acquired from canadian-listed New Guinea Gold corporation (or ngg canada). NGG canada is listed on the tsX-V and has been exploring for gold and copper in PNG since 1996, through its wholly-owned subsidiary New Guinea Gold Limited (or ngg png) and partly-owned Pacific Kanon Gold corp (or Kanon canada), an unlisted canadian public company.

NGG canada had interests in a large suite of tenements in PNG including two properties, simuku and Nakru, which are prospective for copper deposits. until recently the Nakru property was subject to a 50/50 joint venture between NGG PNG and Kanon canada. Being primarily a gold-focussed explorer, the directors of NGG canada decided in late 2006 to undergo a

reorganisation, including moving its copper properties into a separate, listed company to enable funds to be raised to realise the full value of these assets.

the reorganisation involved NGG canada setting up a new PNG subsidiary company, copper Quest PNG Limited (copper Quest), to hold title to the copper tenements. the companies have entered into an agreement for coppermoly to acquire all of the issued share capital of copper Quest from NGG canada and for copper Quest, in turn, to acquire ownership of the two exploration tenements (simuku and Nakru) from NGG PNG and its joint venture partner, Kanon canada. As part of the acquisition, Kanon canada has agreed to terminate the Nakru joint venture in return for equity in coppermoly. Details of the agreement by which coppermoly has agreed to acquire the tenements are set out in section 5.4 of this Prospectus. the final corporate structure is illustrated in chart 1 below.

2.2 Tenement Details

the two tenements acquired by coppermoly’s subsidiary copper Quest are known as the Nakru tenement (eL 1043) and the simuku tenement (eL 1077). the tenements total 95.67 sq km in area and are located in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea.

copper Quest will also hold the title of eLA 1445, talelumas, a new tenement application that surrounds the simuku tenement.

* Note, Copper Quest has agreed to acquire these tenements, but at the date of this Prospectus NGG PNG is the registered holder of these tenements.

the tenements enclose three separate, large, porphyry systems on which extensive bulldozer trenching and/or drill testing has been completed. A considerable amount has been spent on the properties by NGG PNG and earlier tenement holders. Both tenements are considered by the Directors to be highly prospective for copper, molybdenum and gold deposits. Further details in respect of the tenements are given in the Independent Geologist’s report at section 6 of this Prospectus.

the company intends to apply initial funds raised to develop at least one of the porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold deposits to pre-feasibility stage within two years. Additional funds will be required to complete pre-feasibility and full feasibility studies.

2.3 Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is located on a major tectonic boundary between the Pacific and Australian crustal plates. the country is a heavily mineralized region with a relative abundance of large copper-gold and gold deposits, including at ok tedi, Porgera, Frieda, Yandera, Lihir and Panguna (Figure 1), yet it remains comparatively under-explored. currently there are five major operating mines in Papua New Guinea and several projects at the feasibility stage or development stage. there are also intensive exploration activities being undertaken in the country.

Papua New Guinea’s long history of mining and exploration, commencing with development of the famous Wau-Bulolo goldfield in the 1930’s, has resulted in a very extensive geological database, the development of a significant mining services sector, and a substantial pool of highly experienced, englishspeaking, mining professionals.

the Papua New Guinea Government strongly supports foreign investment in the minerals sector. Minerals are owned by the state.

taxation and royalties

the corporate tax rate applicable to mining is 30% and there is a dividend withholding tax of 10% payable on dividends paid out of mining income.

A royalty is payable on all mined products to the Government of Papua New Guinea at the rate of 1.25% of:

  • free-on-board revenue applicable to deliveries of mine products by the company where the mine products are directly or indirectly for export from PNG; and

  • the net smelter returns applicable to deliveries of mine products where the mine products are smelted, or smelted and refined in PNG.

Interests reserved to the state

under the laws of Papua New Guinea, upon the grant of a mining licence, or special mining licence, the state may elect at its discretion to take, at cost, up to a 30% participating interest in any major mineral development in Papua New Guinea. upon exercise of that option, the state will fund its share of capital and ongoing costs and the mine developer will be repaid its share of sunk costs.

2.4 Database

coppermoly’s parent company, NGG canada, has assembled a very large digital and hard copy database for the simuku and Nakru projects. the database has been compiled over a long period from open file company reports and government survey reports, but also includes a large amount of data not in the public domain acquired by Bob McNeil from esso (PNG) when esso ceased working in PNG. the database will be made available to coppermoly by NGG canada.

2.5 Location of Tenements and Infrastructure

the company’s project areas are situated in West New Britain Province at elevations of 200m to 800m and are well located near available roads, tracks, towns and port infrastructure (Figure 2).

Access to both areas is possible by road and 4WD track from the town of Kimbe to within 3-4 km of the prospects and then by bulldozer track. coppermoly intends to upgrade the bulldozer tracks to 4WD standard when funds are in place, allowing vehicle access from Kimbe to each property. the town of Kimbe has a deep water port that services the rapidly expanding palm oil and timber industries of West New Britain Province, and provides an excellent nearby base for logistic support. It is served by daily flights from the capital Port Moresby to the nearby town of Hoskins, 40 minutes drive on a sealed road. A Bell Longranger helicopter is also based in Kimbe.

While the laws of Papua New Guinea recognise the rights of local land owners, coppermoly’s project areas are currently uninhabited. the company’s exploration activities will therefore not impinge directly on any indigenous communities. the company enjoys good relations with the traditional landowners all of whom live near the coast.

2.6 Simuku (EL 1077 And ELA 1445 – Talelumas)

the simuku project area contains the large simuku porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold system, which is one of three mineralised centres associated with the nearby Kulu batholith. Mineralisation and/or geochemical anomalies are known over an area of roughly 60 sq km. simuku, the focus of most work to date, forms only part of this very large mineralised area, much of which remains unexplored in detail.

A series of large scale, circular structural features up to 17km in diameter are associated with the mineralisation, indicating the presence of deep seated, caldera-like structures related to the nearby Kulu batholith (Figure 3).

copper-Molybdenum-Gold targets:

At simuku, porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold mineralisation is known over an area of at least 4.5km x 2.2km, closely related to argillic and phyllic altered quartz porphyry and quartz diorite/monzonite intrusions in altered andesitic volcanics. the ore mineral suite includes chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite and molybdenite.

More than 23km of bulldozer/excavator trenching and 14 drill holes have defined a large, 3,500m by 650m, anomalous copper envelope (>1000ppm cu) enclosing an inner anomalous molybdenum envelope (>100ppm Mo) (Figure 4). the copper envelope remains open to both the north and south, and additional exploration targets lie outside the presentlydefined zone of mineralisation.

Quartz diorite/monzonite intrusions are exposed locally in trenches and have been intersected in drilling near the northern end of the zone, demonstrating a clear connection with sub-surface intrusions related to the nearby Kulu Batholith.

the best drill intersections include 41m at 0.64% cu; 63m at 0.52% cu, 0.12g/t Au; 77m at 0.49% cu, 0.11g/t Au; and 276m at 0.33% cu. Highlights of the trenching and drilling results are shown in table 2.

only one of the 14 holes drilled at simuku is deeper than 200m. the deepest is 276m, meaning the system remains largely untested at depth.

several copper-molybdenum-gold drill targets have already been defined at Nayam, tobarum, Misili and Magipmo (Figure 4). Initial resource drilling will target the northern end of the >1000 ppm copper envelope at Nayam and tobarum, where the best historical drilling results were obtained. Misili has a lower priority and Magipmo requires additional surface work, including bulldozer trenching, prior to drill testing. Detailed resource drilling of the best targets will follow the first round of drilling.

prospectus 2007 | coPPerMoLY LIMIteD 15

Highgrade Molybdenum targets

Bulldozer trenching within the >100ppm molybdenum envelope has exposed a 78m interval (sample width) of 0.13% Mo, including 15m at 0.25% Mo at the Horseshoe Molybdenum target (Figure 4). Initial drill testing with two shallow holes intersected high grade, breccia-hosted molybdenum mineralisation with significant associated copper grades. Drilling highlights using cutoffs of 0.01% Mo and 0.1% cu include:

  • 19m at 0.32% Mo, including 7m at 0.61% Mo (0-19m, sMD-14)

  • 16.8m at 0.04% Mo (54-70.8m, sMD-13)

  • 26m at 0.36% cu, including 6m at 0.51% cu (27-53m, sMD-14)

the initial molybdenum assays were by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAs) using a standard acid leach. check assaying of selected samples using the more expensive x-ray refraction technique (XrF) showed an average 18% increase in molybdenum grades.

Horseshoe’s molybdenum grades compare very favourably with high grade molybdenum deposits elsewhere (e.g. the Henderson Mine in colorado, usA, which produced 160Mt at 0.24% Mo and Boss Mountain in canada, which produced 7.5Mt at 0.20% Mo.) there is good potential for discovering high grade molybdenum deposits within the anomalous molybdenum envelope. Follow up drill testing of Horseshoe will be undertaken during year 1 of the exploration program.

2.7 Mt Nakru (EL 1043)

the Mt Nakru project area within eL 1043 encloses two large porphyry copper-gold (molybdenum) systems located at Mt Nakru and Plesyumi, which are part of a larger cluster of mineralised centres and geochemical anomalies covering an area of about 20km x 7km.

Mt Nakru Prospects

At Mt Nakru significant copper and gold mineralisation, along with highly anomalous silver, molybdenum and zinc values, are present within a large, hydrothermally altered, acid-intermediate intrusive-extrusive complex occupying an area of at least 40 sq km. the best assay results obtained to date include 37.0g/t Au, 19.9% cu, 498g/t Ag, 260ppm Mo, and 22% Zn in surface grab samples, and 2939ppm Mo in a near-surface drill sample. Mineralisation has been found over an area of at least 10 sq km and four copper-gold prospects (named Nakru 1 Prospect to Nakru 4 Prospect), have been discovered to date (Figure 5).

Nakru 1 Prospect to Nakru 4 Prospect

only Nakru 1 Prospect has been explored in detail and drill tested. More than 10km of bulldozer trenching and 12 diamond drill holes have been completed. the best drill intersections include 94m at 0.43% cu, 0.46g/t Au (from 91m); and 205m at 0.4% cu (from surface), including 74m at 0.78% cu (from 93m). the highest copper grades occur at depths below about 60 metres indicating the main copper system may lie below the level currently tested by drilling. only one of the 12 holes drilled at Nakru 1 Prospect is deeper than 200m. Almost no deep drill testing of the system has been undertaken.

An extensive blanket of gold-mineralised breccia masks much of the underlying copper mineralisation at Nakru 1 Prospect, and is thought to be derived from a younger, explosive, epithermal mineralising event that overprints the earlier porphyry mineralisation. trench intersections in breccia blanket include 55m at 4.7g/t Au, 51m at 2.2g/t Au and 245m at 0.8g/t Au. Individual mineralised clasts in the breccia contain values of up to 37g/t Au indicating there is potential for higher grade gold mineralisation in the feeder zones at depth.

the trenching and drilling highlights from Nakru 1 Prospect are included in table 3 below.

Nakru 1 Prospect may be much larger than presently drill tested. Airborne magnetic data indicate the probable presence of a large, buried intrusive complex extending more than 2km to the southeast, and soil geochemistry indicates a connection with Nakru 4 Prospect to the northwest, a total target size of roughly 3km by 1km (Figure 5).

At Nakru 2 Prospect, bulldozer trenching has exposed significant copper mineralised intervals and local very high copper grades, including 25m at 1.43% cu; 25m at 1.06g/t Au; 4m at 6.6% cu; and up to 19.9% cu in grab samples. No drill testing has been undertaken at Nakru 2 Prospect.

only limited surface sampling and mapping has been undertaken at Nakru 3 Prospect and Nakru 4 Prospect.

Plesyumi Prospect

Plesyumi (the name means “our Place” in Pidgin english) was discovered in 1968 and extensively explored up to the early 1970’s but very little work has been undertaken since. A total of 3,157m of historical drilling in 21 holes has been completed. the best drill intersection was 44m at 0.85% cu and other intersections include 33m at 0.42% cu, 110m at 0.31% cu and 153m at 0.20% cu.

the mineralisation occurs in an elongate zone about 1,400m wide and 4,000m long, associated with quartz-magnetite veining in locally potassic altered quartz diorite and biotite syenite intrusions, which are phases of the Metelen Granodiorite, a multi-phase intrusive complex of oligocene age. At least four centres of mineralisation have been identified not all of which have been tested by the historical drilling.

the independent Geologist’s report in section 6 of this Prospectus contains further details about the location, geology and previous exploration of the company’s projects.

4.0 INvESTMENT RISKS

An investment in the company is subject to risk. the existence of risk means that the performance of the company could be adversely affected.

the Directors have assessed the risks that may affect the company and identified what they believe to be the major risks that may impact on the company’s operations. While the company has endeavoured to disclose all material risks, you should be aware that the risks contained in this section are not exhaustive. this section should be treated as a general guide only.

Due to the existence of risk, the company recommends that before deciding whether to invest, you:

  • read this Prospectus in its entirety;

  • consider the nature, probability and materiality of the risks described in this section; and

  • seek independent advice from your professional financial adviser, in light of your particular needs, objectives, financial circumstances and investment preferences.

While the company may be able to minimise the impact of some risks through various risk management techniques, many of the risks identified in this section are beyond the company’s control and as such cannot be eliminated or their impact minimised.

You may personally be able to manage the impact of risk by obtaining independent professional advice tailored to your own investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs. You should:

  • consider carefully whether an investment in the shares is an appropriate investment for you;

  • appreciate that the price of shares listed on AsX can fall as well as rise; and

  • regard an investment in the shares as a speculative investment.

4.1 Exploration Risk

the successful exploration and development of mineral properties is speculative. there are currently no defined mineral resources on the tenements. there is no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any future tenements that the company may acquire, will result in the discovery of a mineral deposit that can be economically mined.

the exploration costs of the company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

4.2 Land Access

the grant of an exploration tenement in Papua New Guinea is a sufficient right to access the land over which the licence is granted. the grant of a mining licence however does not confer an automatic right of access to the land. consent for access is required from the customary landowners or other parties who have an interest in the land before commencing mining activities. this consent cannot always be guaranteed. Landowners may require the payment of compensation to allow the company’s work programs to proceed.

the company considers that it has good relations with landowners. coppermoly aims to be a responsible and progressive member of the communities in which it operates and to adopt a co-operative approach in its dealings with all interested parties in these communities.

As a result of its geographical location, Papua New Guinea may experience high levels of rainfall from time to time which may impact upon land access or cause delays to the company’s work programs.

4.3 Tenements

renewals

exploration licences are subject to renewal every two years. the Minister has a discretion whether or not to grant a renewal, but customarily the Minister will grant the renewal if the tenement holder has met the conditions of the licence. there is a risk however that the Minister will not exercise his discretion favourably and that the Minister will not grant a renewal of the licence.

typically, the Minister does not confirm the grant of a renewal of a mining exploration licence until several months after the renewal date. under Papua New Guinea law, an exploration licence that is past the renewal date remains valid unless and until the Minister exercises his discretion not to renew the licence.

If the Minister grants a renewal of a licence, the Minister may impose new conditions on that licence. these conditions may include a requirement to expend additional money on exploration on the relevant tenement. there is a risk that these conditions will not be commercially viable.

the simuku tenement is due for renewal on 28 November 2007. the Nakru tenement was due for renewal on 7 December 2006.

the company has submitted renewal applications for each of the Nakru and simuku tenements. consequently, both tenements will remain valid unless and until the Minister determines not to approve the renewals. the company has no reason to believe that the Minister will not renew either tenement.

there are currently delays associated with the renewal process in Papua New Guinea.

22 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

recognition of Interests

coppermoly has agreed (through its wholly owned subsidiary copper Quest) to acquire the simuku tenement and the Nakru tenement from NGG PNG. NGG PNG is presently the registered owner of those tenements. under the Mining Act, where tenements are acquired by way of a transfer, there will be no recognition of any legal or equitable interest in favour of the acquirer until such time as the transfer is registered.

copper Quest has applied to have the registration of these tenements transferred to copper Quest. A request to transfer the registration of a tenement is typically granted, although the Minister may exercise a discretion to refuse to register the transfer. there is a risk that the Minister will refuse to register the transfer, in which case copper Quest will not be recognised as having any title to the tenements. there are currently delays in the process as discussed above. consequently, it is likely that the tenements will not be registered in the name of copper Quest until some months after the closing Date.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the shares to be issued under the Implementation Agreement as consideration for the acquisition of the tenements and termination of the joint venture affecting the Nakru tenement will have already been issued. In circumstances where the renewal applications are not approved, or the transfer is not registered by the Minister, the company will not be able to recover the value of the consideration paid under the Implementation Agreement. to manage this risk, as far as commercially practicable, appropriate warranties have been included in the Implementation Agreement to the effect that no party is aware of any fact or circumstance that may impact unfavourably on the exercise of the Minister’s discretion.

4.4 Sovereign and Political Risk

the company’s operations may be adversely affected by the actions of the Papua New Guinean government. Papua New Guinea is subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, some of which may not be found in countries such as Australia, canada, the united Kingdom and the united states. the country currently ranks in the lower quartile of the transparency International corruption Perceptions Index.

Future government actions may impact on land access, the granting of licences, the company’s freedom to conduct operations, title to exploration and mining tenements, taxation and foreign exchange. the outbreak of international or domestic hostilities may also adversely affect the company.

4.5 Development Risk

even if the company discovers significant reserves of minerals, there is a risk that the company will not be able to economically mine these minerals and produce a satisfactory commercial return. there are significant risks associated with the development of an operating mine. Before the company can build a mine, the company will need to obtain various regulatory approvals and licences, including environmental licences. there is no guarantee that the company will be able to obtain the required approvals and licences or that it will be able to comply with any conditions imposed on those approvals and licences in a cost effective manner.

there are also many operational and technical risks associated with developing and operating a mine. these risks may adversely impact the economic viability of any future mining activities.

under the laws of Papua New Guinea, upon the grant of a mining licence, or special mining licence, the state may elect at its discretion to take up to a 30% participating interest in any major mineral development in Papua New Guinea, in consideration for paying to the tenement holder 30% of the costs incurred to that point. the price at which the state is entitled to acquire this interest is unlikely to reflect the market value of that interest. If the state exercises this discretion, this is likely to have the effect of transferring value in the company from the then existing shareholders to the state.

4.6 Future Capital Needs

the Directors consider that the company will have sufficient working capital for the company’s objectives stated in this Prospectus, following the close of the offer. However, the company will require additional funding to progress its projects beyond the work programs identified in this Prospectus. there is no assurance that the company will be able to access this funding on favourable terms or at all.

4.7 Environmental Risk

Mineral exploration and development carries some level of environmental risk. the company may require statutory approval from relevant environmental authorities before it can undertake certain activities that may impact on the environment. Development of identified mineral resources will be dependent on the project meeting environmental guidelines and gaining the required approvals from government departments.

It is the company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

prospectus 2007 | coPPerMoLY LIMIteD 23

4.8 Market volatility

share market conditions may affect listed securities regardless of the operating performance of a particular company. Market conditions are affected by many factors including:

  • investor confidence

  • general national and global economic outlook

  • changes in or outlook on interest rates

  • changes in or outlook on inflation

  • commodity prices

  • supply of capital

Investors should recognise that once listed, the shares of the company may rise or fall in price depending on market conditions and investor attitude.

4.9 Commodity Prices and Exchange Rate Risk

the company’s share price and future revenues and cash flows may be impacted by changes in the prices of mineral commodities. the prices of commodities are influenced by physical and investment demand and may rise or fall. Fluctuations in commodity prices, specifically copper, molybdenum and gold, may influence individual projects in which the company is involved.

the international prices of most commodities are denominated in united states dollars. changes in the Australian / united states dollar exchange rate may impact the value of the company and its shares. exchange rates are influenced by numerous macro economic factors beyond the company’s control.

Additionally, the company’s accounts will be presented in Australian dollars, although it will incur most of its expenses in Papua New Guinea Kina. the translation of expenses incurred in Papua New Guinea Kina to Australian dollars for the purposes of the company’s accounts may have an adverse impact on the reported financial performance of the company.

4.10 Financial Performance

coppermoly is a mineral exploration company. the company has no immediate source of revenue. the company will not generate any revenue until such time as it is able to commercially mine any mineral deposit that the company discovers or it enters into commercial agreements with other parties for the mining of those deposits.

consequently, until coppermoly is able to realise value from its projects, coppermoly will incur ongoing operating losses.

4.11 Insurance Arrangements

the company intends to ensure that insurance is maintained within ranges of coverage which the company believes to be consistent with industry practise and having

regard to the nature of activities conducted. However no assurance can be given that the company will be able to obtain suitable coverage at reasonable rates or that any such coverage will be adequate.

4.12 Grant of ELA 1445, Talelumas

As disclosed at section 2.2 of this Prospectus, the company is the applicant of eLA 1445, talelumas with respect to land which is adjacent to the simuku tenement. this grant is subject to the discretion of the Minister under the Mining Act and compliance with regulatory requirements. While the company is not aware of any reason for the Minister to exercise his discretion unfavouraby, no assurance can be given that eLA 1445 will be approved. there is a risk that the licence may never be granted, or that it will be granted on terms which are not commercially acceptable to the company.

4.13 Availability of Resources

the company will require both personnel and equipment in order to carry out the exploration program in accordance with its stated objectives. While the tenements are located close to local infrastructure, there can be no guarantee that the company will be able to obtain adequate staff with the required skill set, or other resources, at reasonable rates or rates which are commercially acceptable to it. the company may also experience delays in its anticipated work program associated with difficulties in securing adequate resources.

In addition, the company intends to employ some staff who are not citizens of Papua New Guinea who will work on either a fly-in/fly-out or residential basis. Papua New Guinea law requires that a training and Localisation Program be submitted to the Department of Labour and employment for approval prior to the engagement of any staff who are not citizens of Papua New Guinea. there is no guarantee that the programs will be approved.

4.14 Reliance On Key Personnel

As an exploration company, coppermoly is dependent on its senior management and key personnel for the day-to-day operations and strategic management of the company. the value of the shares and the operations of the company could be adversely affected by the departure of any of these employees.

4.15 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.

24 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

5.0 MATERIAL CONTRACTS

this section sets out summaries of the material agreements to which the company is a party or which affect the tenements.

5.2 Share Purchase Agreement (Sale Of Shares In Macmin (PNG) Limited)

By an agreement dated 12 June 2002 between Macmin NL, Macmin (PNG) Limited and New Guinea Gold corporation (NGG canada), NGG canada indirectly acquired all rights, title and interests held by Macmin NL in respect of eL 1043, Nakru and eL 1077, simuku through the purchase of all of the issued capital Macmin (PNG) Limited (being a wholly owned subsidiary of Macmin NL).

under the terms of the agreement, NGG canada granted a 1% net smelter return royalty (nSSr) in favour of Macmin NL payable in respect of all mineral products produced from the tenements upon being brought into production (Macmin royalty).

5.3 Purchase / Joint venture Agreement (50% Interest In EL 1043, Mt Nakru)

By a letter agreement dated 15 December 2003, between NGG canada, Macmin (PNG) Limited and Kanon resources Limited (kanon png), Macmin (PNG) Limited and Kanon PNG formed a joint venture arrangement pursuant to which Kanon PNG acquired a 50% joint venture interest in eL 1043 (nakru Jv).

Kanon PNG also expressly agreed to be bound by the Macmin royalty. the Nakru JV was terminated pursuant to the Implementation Agreement described below.

5.4 Implementation Agreement

By an agreement dated 12 october 2007, between the company, copper Quest, NGG canada, NGG PNG, Kanon PNG and Kanon canada, the parties agreed to undertake the following transactions to facilitate the acquisition by the company of the tenements with the objective of the company achieving admission to the official List:

Summary

systematic mineral exploration of Papua New Guinea (‘PNG’) commenced in the 1960’s focusing largely on ‘porphyry copper’ style deposits. By the mid-1970s, four large (eg Bougainville, oK tedi) and several smaller mineralised systems of this type had been discovered. In the 1980’s following the de-regulation of the World gold price exploration focus shifted to gold-bearing systems in both known and virginal areas. this resulted in the discovery and delineation of two large deposits (Lihir and Porgera) that subsequently became mines and numerous smaller occurrences of potential economic interest, some of which have also become mines eg tolukuma.

the projects and prospects now held by cuMo (Figure 2) were originally outlined by exploration programs by previous explorers in these historic periods. the Simuku and Mt Nakru projects have all undergone a number of exploration phases. the Simuku project has recently undergone a substantial exploration program focussed on its molybdenum potential but further work is required before a resource can be estimated.

Historic work as well as work undertaken by the Vendors has identified valid targets within all the exploration properties that warrant follow-up drilling and other exploration work leading to a better understanding of the mineralised systems.

In New Britain the Simuku tenement has known porphyry copper style mineralised systems as well as the Misili molybdenum prospect recently outlined by exploration work. recent work suggests that historic drilling has not been sited optimally and that drilling other targets for large systems is warranted. Known porphyry copper mineralisation also occurs at Mount Nakru and Plesyumi and recent surface work has delineated gold mineralisation.

Introduction

PG has been retained by the board and management of cuMo to review all relevant information held in Australia and PNG, in order to prepare an Independent Geologists’ report on it’s mineral exploration and development tenements held in PNG.

cuMo is a natural resource company planning to list on the AsX engaged in the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of mineral deposits in PNG. the geological environments held under tenements are favourable for the discovery and delineation of gold, silver, copper and molybdenum deposits.

cuMo has acquired it’s projects from NGG, a company listed on the tsX-V that has been active in PNG for more than 10 years. extensive drilling and other exploration activities have also been completed on all of the properties and the results of this will be described in detail in this report.

this report has been prepared based upon the following scope:

  • the exploration properties have been reviewed with respect to the exploration history, potential and cuMo’s exploration strategy;

  • Historical plans for work proposed have been reviewed with an emphasis on statutory tenement requirements.

  • the geological models and concepts applied have also been reviewed.

this report has been prepared by Mr ralph N stagg, Bsc, Msc, DIc, FAusIMM, MIMM, ceng.

Mr stagg visited NGG’s sinivit property in New Britain in August 2005 and NGG’s Normanby (Imwauna), sehulea (Weioko) and Mt Penck (Kavola east) properties in July 2006. Mr stagg visited the simuku and Mt Nakru properties between 30th August and 4th september 2007 during the preparation of this report.

During 2005, 2006 and 2007 Mr stagg visited NGG’s offices and examined data and files and held discussions with Mr r D McNeil (chairman, President and ceo of NGG), Mr Doug Hutchison (Vice President exploration – Papua New Guinea of NGG) and other NGG personnel.

Various other appropriate data sources external to cuMo were consulted during the preparation of this report.

this report is for use as a support document to be filed with the Australian stock exchange (AsX) for an application by cuMo for listing on the AsX and this report has been prepared for that purpose only.

exploration information always consists of a relatively small and incomplete body of data compared with the complete deposit or area under investigation and study. A number of valid interpretations may be possible from the limited data available at any one time. Diagrams and explanations presented in this report are based upon the best information available at the time of preparation of this report.

prospectus 2007 | coPPerMoLY LIMIteD 31

==> picture [41 x 715] intentionally omitted <==

such explanations and diagrams may change or be subject to refinement as further exploration makes more information available or new research requires altered geological concepts.

Property Descriptions and Location

the legal status of the tenure of the cuMo properties (table 1 & Figure 2) is subject to a separate report in the Prospectus. cuMo’s tenements have not been independently verified by PG. cuMo acquired the rights to the PNG properties through the original vendors, New Guinea Gold Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of NGG.

cuMo has made available a very large body of data from the various properties encompassing exploration and other geological work that has been undertaken over many years, both by NGG and by other parties. cuMo has warranted in writing that to the best of cuMo’s knowledge all material information has been disclosed fully, accurately and truly to PG. PG has made diligent efforts to check this data from separate sources but provides no warranties in this regard. By its nature this type of report is largely reliant upon the information supplied by the company.

table 1 summarises the status of the titles.

Figure 1 shows the typical mineralisation models applicable to PNG based on published work by corbett (2002). some of these models have been demonstrated in cuMo’s project areas, some are not or may not be applicable.

Data verification

codes of Practice

the Valmin code of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (‘AusIMM’) provides the guidelines for the preparation of Independent experts’ reports as does the Jorc code for categorisation of resources and reserves. Both of these codes are binding on members of the AusIMM. this report has been prepared in compliance with these codes.

the cuMo tenements have advanced and less advanced exploration projects, prospects and properties.

For illustrative purposes and to enable the reader to make some comparisons with analogous mineralised systems, resource and reserve estimates may be quoted with respect to selected examples of other projects in PNG. cuMo has no beneficial interest in these projects and the data has been sourced from contemporary literature and other sources. PG makes no warranties as to the absolute accuracy of these numbers, they are provided as quoted in the appropriate sources and have not been independently verified.

under the Jorc code, provision has been made to allow an expert to estimate potential target sizes to provide an opinion as to the potential of a particular mineralised zone. In this report this has been done using three broadly generalised quantitative terms, large, medium and small. For example:

  • ‘small’ is applied where the deposit potential may range up to a few hundred thousand tonnes;

  • ‘Medium’ is applied where the deposit potential may range from small to a few million tonnes; and

  • ‘Large’ is applied where the deposit potential may range from medium to hundreds of million tonnes.

Identification of promising potential does not imply any warranties as to confirmation. considerable further exploration and other work needs to be undertaken in order to carefully evaluate this potential. Depending upon the target mineral type, the target potential has some bearing on the economic potential and therefore provides qualified support for the work required to be done.

In many parts of PNG the terrane is very challenging and access can be very difficult. this has an affect on the economics of developing a discovery principally in the capital cost of such a potential development. this has been carefully considered by cuMo in the strategy that has been developed for exploration, development and exploitation and is described in this report.

Information sources and Assessment Methodology

cuMo has provided PG with full access to all relevant files and reports on all its projects including historical reports. Most documents are not in the public arena. this database is very extensive and comprises of many documents.

A glossary of scientific and technical terms has been prepared for this report and is appended to it. All maps used in this report have been based upon PNG standard datum of ADG66, Zone 56 with utM projection.

All currency is quoted in AuD$ which has not been converted to PNG Kina (‘K’) the legal tender of PNG at the appropriate exchange rate prevailing at the time of this report.

Data Quality

cuMo’s projects have been explored by different companies using different methodologies intermittently for many years. this means that a variety of techniques have been applied, some effective, some less effective and some ineffective. often the exact technique is poorly recorded or simply not recorded at all. this is often the case in exploration in many other parts of the World including Australia and is not unique to PNG or to cuMo’s projects in PNG.

In general terms larger and experienced, reputable companies formed the backbone of the earlier exploration in PNG with the consequence that the work was by and large high quality for the period in which the work was done and the techniques were diligently applied. NGG and it’s predecessors have also generally undertaken well thought out and managed programs even within the limitations of less well endowed resources than their larger corporate predecessors with the consequence that the data they obtained has been good quality as well.

Overview

cuMo’s project areas in central New Britain are located within the well-mineralised Kulu-Awit corridor (Figure 2), a structural zone that trends west-northwest for a distance of 140km. this mineralised belt contains a number of porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold or epithermal gold systems, including – from southeast to northwest – Mt Nakru (cu-Au), Plesyumi (cu-Au), Kulu (cu-Au), simuku (cu-MoAu) and Mt Penck (Au), as well as numerous smaller mineral prospects and/or geochemical anomalies. the cu-Au systems are related to late oligocene, multiphase, intermediate intrusive systems. the Mt Penck epithermal Au system (not held by cuMo) is hosted by a Plio-Pleistocene volcanic complex that may also overlie a porphyry system.

Figure 2: Central New Britain – Kulu-Awit Trend

==> picture [455 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

the island of New Britain developed as a subductionrelated volcanic arc and comprises an eoceneoligocene basement of volcanics, sediments and intrusives overlain by Miocene to Plio-Pleistocene clastic and carbonate sediments. Quaternary volcanics, derived from young, presently-active, andesitic volcanoes, are widely developed along the north coast. Post-mineral cover of ash and pumice is erratically present over parts of each property and is derived from eruptions along the young volcanic chain.

the largest of the oligocene intrusive systems is the Kulu batholith, which outcrops over an area of 90 square kilometres and is composed predominantly of diorite with subordinate quartz diorite, monzonite and granodiorite phases and related porphyries. the batholith has been dated at 22-28.7Ma (late oligocene). thus, the regional geological environment is similar to that of several classical geological environments that host significant porphyry copper, molybdenum and related ore deposits in other localities.

Simuku Project

the simuku Project includes the main simuku porphyry copper-molybdenum prospect and subordinate copper and gold targets including Kulu, talelumas, rapisme and rapilli prospects.

1.0 Locality and Access

the simuku eL (1077) and eLA (1445) are located 35 kilometres south-west of Kimbe in West New Britain Province. the project is centred at approximately 5º 44’ south and 150º 02’ east. Vehicular access is by 4WD via a logging road north of the property, although due to heavy rainfall this track requires continuous maintenance to remain in good repair. Walking tracks, along moderate gradients, and a road and track system provide access to most of the prospect locations. Alternate access is by helicopter from Kimbe heliport. No population centres occur in the license, the traditional landowners live in the coastal villages at Ismi, Mingai, Morokea, ruango and Kulungi.

the exploration licence is on the northern flank of the Whiteman range. rugged terrain results from incised, seasonal streams and relief of about 600m with elevations ranging from about 200m to 800m. small garden areas are restricted to nomadic developments at lower elevations with the remainder of the license covered by dense tropical forest.

the area has a tropical monsoonal climate with a wet season from November through April. Hoskins, located 20km east of Kimbe, receives about 75% of about 4m of annual rainfall during this wet season.

1.1 Geological setting

1.1.1 Regional Geology

the island of New Britain formed as a result of eocene to oligocene volcanism above a southwest dipping subduction zone. the subduction pattern changed during the Miocene with subduction moving to the New Britain trench to the south of the island. Lower tertiary island arc volcanics, volcaniclastics and intrusives form the basement rocks for New Britain with eocene Baining Volcanics, oligocene Merai Volcanics (east New Britain) and Kapuluk Volcanics and oligocene intrusives.

Baining Volcanics are mainly massive to well bedded volcanics, volcanic sediments and related intrusives. the volcanics are basic to intermediate and believed to be over 600m thick. sediments consist mainly of marine conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones with minor limestone lenses.

the Kapuluk Volcanics are compositionally similar to the Banning Volcanics and formed under similar island arc conditions. Plutonic and hypabyssal rocks, of granodiorite to gabbro composition, are mainly

co-magmatic with the upper oligocene volcanics. Porphyry copper style mineralisation is mainly found within the intrusive complex.

change in the subduction pattern during early Miocene resulted in a hiatus in volcanic activity, and gradual subsidence accompanied by deposition of thick limestone sequences of the Yalam and sai Beds. Volcanism resumed in the Pliocene with deposition of tuffaceous sediments, acid tuff and basal conglomerates of the Kapiura Beds. the Quaternary Kimbe Volcanics border the Bismarck sea and form islands off the north coast of New Guinea. the Kimbe Volcanics are products of strato-volcanoes that produce mainly andesitic lavas. recent volcanic activity has resulted in extensive post mineral cover of a large part of New Britain with pumice and volcanic ash.

the simuku property (Figure 3) is mainly underlain by andesitic to basaltic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Kapuluk Volcanics and felsic, andesitic to dacitic intrusive dykes, sills and stocks belonging to the upper oligocene intrusive suite related to the Kapuluk Volcanics.

==> picture [39 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

1.2 Mineralisation

Anomalous copper, gold and molybdenum analyses from samples of soils, creek float, creek outcrops, trench exposures and drill intersections indicate that copper, gold and molybdenum mineralisation is discontinuously present at simuku over an area of at least 4.5 km x 2.2 km, within a generally north, north-east trending zone. the mineralisation is hosted mainly by andesitic to basaltic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Kapuluk Volcanics, which are intruded by andesitic, dacitic, quartz porphyry and quartz diorite dykes, sills and stocks related to the late oligocene Kulu batholith.

exploration targets at simuku include ‘porphyrystyle’ copper-molybdenum or copper-gold deposits associated with the intermediate intrusives and medium to high grade, breccia-hosted molybdenum deposits.

Fifteen holes have been drilled at simuku, eleven of which are located within an area of only 700m x 400m near the northern end of the 4km long mineralised zone. clearly, only a small portion of the total mineralised area has been drill tested.

Primary sulphides form up to 15% of the rock and consist of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and molybdenite, with some chalcocite development in the supergene zone. Widespread, anomalous copper grades of 0.1-0.5%cu in the pyritic halos indicate the intrusive centres may have potential for grades exceeding 0.5%cu.

three intrusive targets have been identified that have not been tested and will be the focus of further work (Figure 5). these are Nayam , Misili and Magipmo . All three targets have anomalous rock and soil geochemistry, coincident gradient array, chargeability IP anomalies and zones of hematitic, leached capping. Leached, mineralised intrusive porphyry, carrying anomalous copper values of up to 2.9 %cu, has been identified at Nayam and Misili.

only the Misili target has been drill tested (one hole, sMD2) and only two have recently been partly trenched and sampled as part of the 2005 trenching program.

1.2.1 Porphyry Copper-Gold-

(Molybdenum) Mineralisation

Bulldozer trenching and drilling within the “crush zone” shown in Figure 3 has demonstrated the presence of leached capping, supergene enrichment, and primary copper mineralisation in the range of 0.1-0.5% cu in mainly phyllic altered volcanic rocks and subordinate marginal intrusive phases. Higher grade intercepts of up to plus 1.0% cu are present over narrow intervals. the intrusive rock types include quartz porphyry, quartz diorite and possible monzonite.

Bulldozer trenching has defined an outer copper envelope with dimensions of 4km by 0.7km enclosing an inner anomalous molybdenum envelope (Figure 4). the copper envelope remains open to the north and south.

twelve holes have been drilled to test porphyry cu-Mo-Au targets at simuku with the intercepts summarized in table 2.

Most of these previous drill holes appear to have tested the phyllic altered, pyritic halos of mineralised intrusive bodies, characterised by magnetic lows (due to magnetite destruction) and lower primary copper grades. In addition, apart from sMH-011 (276.6m) none of the previous holes have tested the system below 174.5m and most are 100m or less. No drilling has been undertaken to test the simuku system at depth.

==> picture [382 x 498] intentionally omitted <==

nayam target

the Nayam target is located at the extreme northern end of the structural zone and appears to be the most gold rich part of the system. ridge/spur soil sampling, IP/magnetic surveying, and limited trenching and drilling have been undertaken. A prominent magnetic anomaly, interpreted to be an intrusive body, is located to the north of Nayam creek and is coincident with a gradient array, chargeability IP anomaly. silicified quartz diorite porphyry, pyritic hydrothermal breccia and silicified, pyritic, quartz veined intrusive occurs as creek float or outcrop at the northwest end of the anomaly. reconnaissance soil and rock chip sampling by Placer over the magnetic anomaly gave scattered anomalous

copper and gold values, including more than 300ppm cu in ridge/spur soil samples, and up to 2.9% cu and 1.14g/t Au in rock samples. A gold soil anomaly (generally outlined by >0.5g/t Au analyses) with approximate dimensions of 400m x 400m is located to the east of the combined geophysical anomalies.

trenching on the southern side of the anomaly has exposed zones of strongly leached, quartz limonite veined, phyllic altered, quartz porphyry and volcanics overlying strongly anomalous copper-gold mineralization possibly in the supergene enriched zone. the Nayam trenching results are summarized in table 3.

Local hematitic limonite is present in the leached zone possibly indicating some leaching and supergene deposition of chalcocite has taken place. the irregular anomalous copper, molybdenum and particularly gold values in the leached zone are considered significant as gold is closely associated with copper mineralisation in a porphyry system but is less mobile when copper is leached.

the strongly anomalous copper values of just over 1.0% cu present over significant widths in the underlying, possibly supergene enriched, zone provide strong encouragement that the Nayam target may host primary copper mineralisation.

Holes sMH-07, 011 & 012 were drilled at the southern edge of the magnetic anomaly and intersected copper mineralization over wide intervals, including (see table 2) as follows:

  • sMH-012 – 91.3m at 0.43% cu, 0.06g/t Au (from surface)

  • sMH-011 – 77m at 0.49% cu, 0.11g/t Au (from surface)

  • sMH-07 – 63m at 0.52% cu, 0.12g/t Au (from surface)

A long section through these drillholes is shown in the Proposed exploration Program that shows a mineralised trend towards depth and the Nayam target.

the Nayam target is interpreted to be a subsurface, mineralised intrusive porphyry with possible dimensions of 1,200m x 300-500m, trending north-west. Most of this target remains untested by trenching or drilling.

Magipmo target

Magipmo is located about one kilometre west of tobarum. the target is defined by gradient array and chargeability IP anomalies, argillic alteration and magnetic anomalies interpreted to represent intrusive

bodies. strongly leached, argillised, silicified intrusive, including microdiorite and quartz feldspar porphyry, and gossanous hydrothermal breccia is present as creek float, scree and outcrop over a north-south distance of at least 1 km. the leached intrusives contain quartz-limonite veining and stockwork, and locally abundant sulphide voids. Limonite is locally present indicating leaching and enrichment of copper.

Bulk cyanide leach (BcL) stream sediment copper analyses including values of 4,817ppm cu, 3,951ppm cu, 1,157ppm cu and 2,056ppm cu are scattered over an area of about 0.8 square kilometres. ridge-spur soil and rock chip sampling by esso and Placer found values of more than 300ppm cu and more than 10ppm Mo in soil samples and up to 0.69% cu in rock samples.

these preliminary, reconnaissance exploration results point to the possibility of a mineralised porphyry body at Magipmo. the target has dimensions of about 1,800m x 400-700m and is completely untested by either trenching or drilling.

Misili target

At the Misili target bulldozer trenching has exposed 10m to 70m wide intervals with anomalous copper values ranging from 0.12% cu up to more than 1.0% cu. the anomalous intervals are mostly confined to a 200m wide north north-east trending zone. However, anomalous copper in the general range of 400ppm to 1,000ppm cu is also associated with strongly leached, mineralized intrusive found in trench exposures and scree to the west of the structural zone, indicating the possibility of a much larger exploration target.

the trenches expose strongly leached, argillised and silicified intrusive including porphyry and microdiorite with sulphide voids indicating up to plus 5% sulphides in fresh rock. Limonite is irregularly developed over a wide area and locally forms up to 50% of the total limonite, suggesting significant leaching and

supergene enrichment of copper. Intense quartzlimonite-pyrite veining and stockwork is present.

Magnetic and resistivity/chargeability IP anomalies define an inferred mineralized intrusive body at a depth of less than 100m beneath the leached zone.

one hole, 83sM-2 (‘sMD-02’), has been drilled at Misili. the hole intersected altered andesitic volcanics with narrow intersections of phyllic altered diorite porphyry (87-103m) and feldspar biotite porphyry (121-139m). the average copper grade for the entire hole was 150m at 0.15% cu and the best intersection was 4.1m at 0.39% cu. Molybdenum grades average about 100ppm Mo for the entire hole and include intersections of 120ppm Mo over 3m and 560ppm Mo over 2.5m. the highest Mo grades, up to 560ppm, are associated with intermediate porphyry. Disseminated magnetite is present in the lower 12m of 83sM-02.

the single drill hole has not adequately tested the Misili target.

1.2.2 Molybdenum Mineralisation

Anomalous (up to very high grade) molybdenum values from geochemical sampling of up to 0.60% Mo, with local visible molybdenite are present in highly siliceous fissure breccias and/or silicified felsic intrusives at three locations in trench or creek exposures east and south-east of Mt Misili. collectively these three zones, and exposure of visible molybdenite in silicified intrusive in Mindoka creek,

are referred to as the Misili Molybdenum Prospect (Figure 5). the prospect consists of two separate zones, named Horseshoe and Mindoka , which appear to be partly offset structurally, but if connected along strike comprise a strongly elongate, generally north, northeast trending target zone up to 1,300m long and 3070m wide. the alteration style in these fissure breccias is intense silica flooding and quartz vein stockworking with significant development of hydrothermal clay.

the results of geochemical sampling of trenches in the principal molydenum zones are shown in table 4.

Horseshoe Zone

Molybdenum grades in the Horseshoe Zone average 0.16% Mo (XrF assays) over a true width of 35m, with a high of 0.424% Mo. the main host rocks are siliceous hydrothermal breccias and silicified, quartz veined, quartz feldspar porphyry and quartz microdiorite.

strongly anomalous copper values, including 9m at 0.28% cu and 36m at 0.20% cu (not true widths), possibly represent a high cu zone peripheral to the high Mo zone within a zoned Mo-cu deposit. the combined true width of the entire Mo-cu zone is about 80m.

two shallow holes, sMD-013 & sMD-014, to 71m and 101m, respectively, were drilled in late 2006 to test the Horseshoe target. sMD-014 intersected 19m at 0.32% Mo from surface, including 7m at 0.60% Mo, confirming the high molybdenum grades found in trenches.

the drilling highlights are shown in table 5.

Mindoka Zone

Anomalous molybdenum values in the range 0.014% Mo to 0.03% Mo (aqua regia assays) are present in trench 1 and also in trench 8, 500m further to the south. In Mindoka creek, 60m south of trench 1 visible molybdenite is present in silicified felsic intrusive. together these three exposures define a narrow, elongate north, north-east trending zone at least 500m long and approximately 60m wide.

the anomalous molybdenum values are associated with highly siliceous, sheared hydrothermal/diatreme fissure breccia and intensely fractured, brecciated, silicified, felsic porphyry. the porphyry contains clear quartz veining/stockwork and local disseminated sulphides. In Mindoka creek visible molybdenite is present in strongly silicified, pyritic, felsic intrusive with veins and stockwork of clear quartz and quartzpyrite. Molybdenum deposits are commonly zoned downwards and inwards from high pyrite-low Mo to low pyrite-high Mo. the presence of pyrite veining in Mindoka creek may indicate the presence of higher molybdenum grades at depth. Molybdenum and copper grades for trench 1 and trench 8 show an overall average grade of 0.021% molybdenum (aqua regia) and copper values in the range 230 – 1,750ppm cu.

1.2.3 Base Metals-Gold Mineralisation

A “bulls eye” type magnetic anomaly located about 1.5km south-east of Misili is associated with anomalous gold in bulk cyanide leach (‘BcL’) stream sediment geochemical samples. Gold values in six BcL samples from three creeks range from 10.8 ppb Au to 24.2 ppb Au. All three anomalous creeks contain rock float of highly siliceous breccias and fine pyritic silica. rock types include dark grey chalcedonic silica with fine disseminated pyrite; pervasively silicified volcanic; silicified, heterolithic, pyritic, hydrothermal breccia; strongly silicified breccia with clasts of pyritic silica and silica-magnetite; and silicified clay-altered breccia with fine quartz-limonite veins. No significant gold results were obtained from 16 rock chip float samples and one sample returned an assay of 0.5% copper.

Historical rock chip sampling by Placer in the east bank of simuku river near the magnetic anomaly showed a gold assay result of 210g/t Au. Although this result could not be repeated when re-sampled by Macmin, the widespread presence of silica breccia indicates the “Bulls eye” may be prospective for gold mineralisation. the fine, chalcedonic nature of much of the silica indicates a possible epithermal affinity but the magnetite suggests skarn-style mineralisation.

rock chip samples of creek float northeast of the “bull’s eye” assayed up to 4.08 g/t Au and 0.18% cu. this metal suite may indicate skarn-style mineralisation peripheral to the main cu-Mo porphyry system.

talelumas, rapisme and rapilli prospects

the talelumas Prospect, located 2.7 km southwest of tobarum as discovered in 1984 by esso following up anomalous arsenic in stream sediment samples and pyritic float draining a circular feature. Gold analyses to date come from samples of narrow shear zones with quartz, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. A grab sample from a 20cm wide sphalerite-quartz vein in the Misek creek area assayed 26.65 g/t Au, 24.0 g/t Ag, 2.14% cu and 22.4% Zn. A 5m channel taken across the structure averaged 5.0 g/t Au.

rapisme, rapilli and Mawaiyuen are collectively referred to as the Kulu prospects and are located 5 km east-southeast of simuku within the Kulu batholith. these prospects were explored by crA, BHP and esso as porphyry copper targets. Drilling on the rapilli and rapisme prospects, by crA and BHP, respectively, intersected mainly primary mineralization grading less than 0.2% copper. No gold analyses were undertaken.

1.3 exploration History

After discovery of Bougainville, crA investigated New Britain Island with a regional stream-sediment geochemical sampling program in 1965. Four areas of anomalous copper in stream sediments were detected within tributaries of the Kulu river. the stream sediments led to location of the simuku, Kulu, talelumas, rapisme and rapilli prospects. crA used ridge and spur auger soil sampling and limited rock chip sampling for follow-up. A copper soil sample geochemical anomaly, in the rapilli prospect area, was tested with three diamond drill holes totalling 916.1m. Primary copper mineralisation with generally less than 0.2% cu was encountered. soil sampling in the central simuku area revealed a zone 400m x 800m of >10 ppm Mo associated with weakly anomalous and patchy copper values.

In the early 1970’s BHP used rock chip sampling to outline the rapisme prospect. Four diamond drill holes totalling 607.3m intersected comparable results to those from the rapilli anomaly.

In 1979 Nord resources conducted regional surveys that included the simuku area. esso worked the area between 1981 and 1986 with programs directed toward evaluation of identified porphyry copper systems. Four diamond drill holes, totalling 624.7m, were drilled at the simuku prospect in 1983. the drill holes confirmed the presence of a chalcocite enriched zone overlying primary copper mineralisation. A gold enriched system is also suggested with a best intersection of 0.12 g/t Au from hole sM-1. table 6 summarises the results of this drilling.

city acquired the simuku property in 1987 and conducted further basic geochemical sampling and mapping for definition of the talelumas Prospect before financial problems led to termination of city’s interest.

In 1993 Macmin conducted a data compilation of the Kulu river in order to select an appropriate eL application area. the simuku tenement was granted to Macmin on 29/11/93 with Macmin holding 50% in trust for W.s. Yeaman.

In september 1994 Placer (PNG) exploration Pty Ltd. (Placer) optioned the simuku property. Placer’s work program consisted of IP and magnetic surveys, detailed mapping, geochemical sampling, pitting and bulldozer trenching on the simuku prospect. Although Placer’s property report contained a positive recommendation for further work, Placer terminated its option in late 1995 without completing the recommended work program.

1.3.1 Exploration by Macmin and NGG

In 1996/1997 a Macmin joint venture with NGG completed 3,200m of bulldozer trenching with large intervals grading 0.2 to 0.5% cu, and completed 8 drill holes totalling 857m (rc 584m, diamond core 273m).

In February 1999, cyprus Amax PNG Holdings Inc. (“cyprus Amax”) finalised a farm in agreement with Macmin and stan Yeaman (on eL 1077 only) to earn up to 80% in 3 exploration licences covering >4,000km[2] . After spending over us $302,000, a November 1999 merger of cyprus Amax with Phelps Dodge resulted in restructuring and withdrawal from the joint venture. creek mapping and prospecting was conducted on the simuku tenement and supported by 91 rock chip samples. the best rock sample results were

42 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

from outcrop of phyllic altered crystal lithic tuffs along Misasuguran creek where a single grab sample returned a high grade gold assay of 210 g/t Au. A nearby 20m chip channel returned 0.2% Zn, and a 1.5m wide clay silica altered fault zone returned 7.2% Zn.

After cyprus Amax returned the simuku property to Macmin, a petrographic study was completed on sixteen drill core samples from hole sMH-012. the analysis concluded that Hole 12 encountered a suite porphyritic acid-intermediate cal alkaline volcanics, pyroclastics and probable high level intrusions. these proved to be moderately to strongly altered and locally mineralised. the alteration and mineralisation is of porphyry style with assemblages that reflect a somewhat proximal setting with regard to the source intrusion.

were collected from the trenches at 3m intervals and analysed for Mo by X-ray Fluorescence (“XrF”) methodology. one trench has intersected 72m at 1,668 ppm Mo about 250m north-east of sMD2 within a section of 132m at 989 ppm Mo. From these results, a number of target areas have been defined.

satellite imagery over the simuku mineralized system shows an apparent large circular feature which could represent a volcanic rim suggesting a caldera or intrusive. the Mt. Misili target area (Figure 5) may represent the core of the larger simuku porphyry (2 km diameter) with a potassic core and halo of magnetite destruction. Alternatively the simuku system may be a product of multiple intrusives.

table 7 provides a summary of exploration of the property.

recently NGG has completed 20km of bulldozer trenching at simuku. About 4,000 channel samples

Mt Nakru Project

2.1 Locality and Access

the Mt. Nakru property is in a belt of porphyry copper and gold prospects in West New Britain Province about 60 km south of the airport at Hoskins and from 50 km to 70 km south-east of the logistics base at Kimbe. the Mt Nakru eL (1043) is centred at 5º 58’ south and 150º 25’ east.

A newly-opened road to the south coast of New Britain passes within 2km of the eastern boundary of the property. Previous drill access roads could be upgradeable for future use, but generally require maintenance for temporary use. Walking tracks, along moderate gradients provide access to most of the prospect locations. No population centres occur in the license, landownership claims related to traditional hunting grounds and cultivated areas originate from coastal villages.

the exploration licence is situated in the Whiteman range. rugged terrain results from incised, seasonal streams and relief is about 500m with the highest peak at 830m. the area is mainly covered by dense tropical forest.

A tropical monsoonal climate occurs in the area with a wet season from November through April. Hoskins receives about 75% of about 4m of annual rainfall during the wet season.

2.2 Geological setting

2.2.1 Regional and Prospect Geology

the large Mt Nakru and Plesyumi ‘porphyry copper’ systems are part of a large cluster of mineralised centres and/or geochemical anomalies within an area of about 20km x 7km. Both major systems are located where northeast trending structures intersect the northwestern trending structures of the Kulu-Awit corridor. other known prospects in the area include Mololo creek, Lae river skarn, Mingoe, Mickeyek, raingnu and Armi.

Published geology maps show the area is underlain by the late eocene Baining Volcanics, which consist of strongly jointed and fractured, basaltic to andesitic lavas, pyroclastics, and epiclastic sediments including abundant breccia and rudite, and minor limestone. However, dacitic volcanics are present at Mt Nakru and may be related to a younger volcanic unit. Dykes and small stocks of late oligocene intermediate intrusives invade the volcanics locally.

Plesyumi is related to an elongate intrusive stock of late oligocene age, with dimensions of 13km by 6km, which intrudes the older volcanics and is partially covered by Pliocene-age, post-mineral sediments.

Mt Nakru is a large extrusive-intrusive complex occupying an area of approximately 40 square kilometres, consisting predominantly of fine to

coarse rhyodacitic, dacitic and andesitic volcanics cut by rhyodacitic and andesitic/dioritic dykes. sulphide-bearing, silicified rock float occurs in all creeks draining the complex and a large area, up to 14 square kilometres, of pervasive silica-sericiteclay-pyrite alteration has been identified.

recent post-mineral ash cover, derived from eruptions in the belt of active volcanoes along the north coast of New Britain, is present on most ridges and upper slopes to depths of 0.5m to 15m, averaging 1-2m. this extensive post-mineral cover masks much of the underlying geology and has slowed progress in evaluating the property.

2.2.2 Mineralisation

A total of four copper-gold (+/-silver+/-

molybdenum+/-zinc) prospects, named Nakru 1 to Nakru 4, have been discovered to date within a 4.5km diameter circular topographic feature, which may represent a caldera-type structure or a zone of up-doming and tensional fracturing above a rising intrusion. Nakru 1, the most advanced prospect, is located at the northwestern end of a sub-surface intrusive body inferred from magnetic data with dimensions of about 2.5km x 1.0km. the inferred intrusive is coincident with an area of weakly anomalous copper and/or gold in stream sediment samples and suggests the Nakru porphyry system may be much larger than the area currently tested.

only 12 holes have been drilled within this large target area (Figure 6), all at Nakru 1 Prospect. Much of the system remains unexplored in any detail.

nakru 1 prospect

Nakru 1, the most advanced of the four prospects, has the best potential to host a large coppergold mineralised system. Deep auger and Bulk cyanide-Leach (BcL) soil sampling, more than 10 kilometres of hand and bulldozer trenching and 12 drill holes has been completed. two styles of mineralisation are recognised:

  • breccia-hosted gold+/-copper+/molybdenum mineralisation in an upper, near-surface breccia unit; and

  • ‘porphyry-style’ copper+/-gold mineralisation in the underlying volcanic-intrusive complex.

the prospect geology consists of interbedded rhyodacitic to andesitic tuffs, agglomerates and lavas locally intruded by quartz-phyric rhyodacitic and andesitic dykes. small microdiorite intrusions and monzonitic dykes are present locally. two generations of quartz-sulphide veining have been recognised:

  • early, sulphide-poor stockworks; and

  • late, sulphide-rich, sheeted quartz-pyrite veins, with coarse pyrite and chalcopyrite. the quartz veins are anomalous in Au, Mo, Bi, Ag, te, and sb.

Figure 6: Nakru Drilling and Trenching

==> picture [453 x 418] intentionally omitted <==

the upper breccia unit is of diatreme or hydrothermal origin, partly structurally controlled. the breccia contains veins of quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite, opaline silica and dog-tooth quartz.

Auger soil sampling has outlined a combined goldcopper-molybdenum-arsenic soil anomaly with approximate dimensions of 800m x 200-300m trending north north-west. the shape of this anomaly is highly irregular, possibly indicating some control by north-east trending structures. the best gold assay result in soil sampling was 3.5g/t Au and molybdenum values of greater than 30ppm Mo are common.

Bulldozer trenching to test the soil anomaly has exposed wide intervals of gold mineralisation at surface in the upper breccia unit (table 8). Gold values are roughly in the range 0.1 – 3.0 g/t Au and the average of the more than 1.0g/t Au intercepts is 2.6 g/t Au. However, values of up to 37.0 g/t Au are present in individual breccia clasts, indicating potential for higher grade gold mineralisation at depth.

nakru 2 prospect

Nakru 2 Prospect is located 1.0 kilometre west of Nakru 1. soil sampling, hand trenching and bulldozer trenching has been completed but no drill testing. copper-gold+/-molybdenum+/-zinc mineralisation has been found in several structurally controlled zones of brecciation and silica-clay-pyrite alteration within a sequence of andesitic to rhyodacitic volcanics. the largest known alteration zone has dimensions of about 300m by 20-50m, and a 50m wide zone of silicified sulphidic breccia has been mapped. the mineralisation is characterized by anomalous levels of cu, Au, Mo, Ag, As, Zn, Pb, te and Bi.

Primary pyrite and chalcopyrite is present and bornite was identified in thin section. the primary sulphides are commonly coated with secondary chalcocite and covellite indicating supergene enrichment. Veins of chalcedonic quartz and quartz-pyritechalcopyrite are present locally and at least two episodes of brecciation have been identified.

soil sampling has outlined a copper-gold soil anomaly with rough dimensions of 400m by 200m. Grab sampling of mineralised outcrops has given assay values of up to 19.9% cu, 22% Zn and 260ppm Mo all in separate samples. channel sampling of creek outcrops has values of 5m at 3.5% cu, 6.6% Zn in shear-controlled, semi-massive, pyrite-chalcopyrite-chalcocite mineralisation.

the highlights of hand and bulldozer trenching are shown in the following table.

nakru 3 prospect

Nakru 3 Prospect is located approximately 1.7km north of Nakru 1 (Figure 6). Very little work has been completed and no soil sampling, trenching or drilling has been undertaken. reconnaissance rock chip sampling has demonstrated assays of up to 5.2g/t Au in a silicified shear zone carrying pyrite and magnetite; up to 2.7% cu in outcropping hydrothermally altered breccia; and up to 4.9% Zn and 498g/t Ag in creek float.

nakru 4 prospect

Nakru 4 Prospect is located about 1.3km northwest of Nakru 1. Bulk Leach extractable Gold (BLeG) soil sampling has outlined a series of plus 5ppb Au soil anomalies, trending north north-east to east south-east, with dimensions of up to 600m by 100m. extensive post-mineral ash up to 15m thick, averaging about 5m, partly conceals the prospect. Wacker drilling was undertaken to obtain c-horizon soil samples beneath the ash cover.

the Wacker drilling defined a series of narrow, irregular, northeast-trending, low order gold anomalies (plus 0.01g/t Au) over a distance of at least 2.5km probably aligned along a structure. the largest, semi-coherent anomaly has dimensions of about 600m x 200-400m, possibly located at a structural intersection, with a peak value of 0.21g/t Au. scattered anomalous copper values of up to 472ppm cu are also present. the highest soil values found in the survey area were 0.62g/t Au, 896ppm cu and 202ppm As at the southwest end of the anomalous zone.

Highlights from the Wacker deep soil sampling program are shown in table 11.

plesyumi prospect

the Plesyumi porphyry system is located about 14km west northwest of Mt Nakru (Figure 7). At this stage there is no road access to Plesyumi and the property can only be accessed by helicopter. Plesyumi was discovered in 1968 by Placer and extensively explored, including 21 drill holes, up to the early 1970’s.

the system is hosted by the Metelen Granodiorite, a multiphase intrusive complex of late oligocene age that is exposed within an erosional window of postmineral sediments and volcanic ash. the complex consists of granodiorite, quartz diorite and minor

biotite syenite, which are intruded by late breccias and intermediate to acid porphyry dykes and stocks.

‘Porphyry-style’, copper-gold mineralisation is closely associated with pervasive quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration overprinting early propylitic alteration of the intrusive complex. Weak potassic alteration characterised by secondary biotite and K feldspar is developed locally. the strongest alteration and mineralisation is centred on zones of more intense fracturing and veining closely related to late, structurally controlled, dacite porphyry dykes. Drilling has identified the local development of a leached cap. the presence of chalcocite, covellite, cuprite and native copper indicates minor supergene alteration.

At least four centres of mineralisation have been defined at Plesyumi Prospect within a north-east trending, elongate zone measuring 4 kilometres x 1.0 kilometre.

the system has been tested by 21 drill holes totalling 3,123m. the best drill intersection was 44m at 0.85% cu. Highlights of the drilling results are shown in table12.

the mineralisation is characterised by py: cpy ratios of 10:1 and erratic low to high zinc values associated with copper and porphyry dykes, suggesting the drilling has intersected the upper part of a porphyry system. the strongest chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralisation in the primary zone is associated with magnetite veining and an increased density of quartz stockworking. only selected drill intervals were assayed for gold with the highest reported value of 0.38 ppm Au over 1.5m in hole tD5.

2.3 exploration History

the discovery of Bougainville prompted the first modern, helicopter-supported exploration of New Britain with crA geochemical reconnaissance surveys conducted in the mid 1960’s. Placer Prospecting (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Placer”) acquired PA 54 in 1967. Placer’s detailed geochemical reconnaissance resulted in the discovery of the Plesyumi porphyry copper prospect in 1968. After conducting basic geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys, Placer completed a program of trenching and 7 diamond drill holes (totalling 1,178m).

the Mt Nakru system was discovered in 1984 by city resources and has been explored intermittently by several companies. the exploration history of the property is summarized in table 13.

Proposed Exploration Program

Drilling will be undertaken with the aim of delineating a resource and undertaking a pre-feasibility study of mining and processing the resource.

Simuku Project

Initially, approximately 10,000m of drilling is planned to test the identified targets at Nayam, tobarum, Misili, Magipmo and the high grade Horseshoe molybdenum area. Drilling will utilize a combination of diamond core and reverse circulation techniques and will include some deep holes to about 500m.

the long section shown in figure 8 demonstrates the limited nature of the current drilling compared with the potential size of the system.

Based on the result of this drilling, closer spaced resource drilling will be undertaken to delineate the extent and continuity of the identified copper and molybdenum mineralisation as warranted.

At the Horseshoe molybdenum target, multi-element scans on selected trench samples will be carried out for a variety of elements that might be associated with molybdenum mineralisation, including tungsten, tin, fluorine and bismuth the known molybdenum mineralisation is thought to be vertically oriented and deeper drillholes to over 300m are planned. A number of drillholes are required to determine the extent of the target (width/depth) to allow resource delineation drilling to be planned and executed.

At the Misili intrusive target the magnetic chargeability/resistivity anomaly will be tested for the presence of stockwork molybdenum and/or ‘porphyry copper/molybdenum style’ mineralisation. the quantum of follow-up resource delineation drilling, will depend on these initial drilling results.

trenching is required at the Nayam target to expose bedrock above the inferred intrusive body defined by coincident geophysical anomalies, and to expose bedrock within gold soil anomalies. this will be followed by up to ten drillholes to test for copper-gold mineralisation prior to resource delineation drilling.

At the tobarum target initial drilling will consist of step out holes from the known historical drill-indicated mineralisation and initial testing of the inferred intrusive body, defined by magnetics, at West tobarum. this will help determine any mineralisation trends prior to considering resource delineation drilling.

the large area (1,500 x 500m) Magipmo target requires some additional soil sampling and bulldozer trenching to expose bedrock to assist in focussing the initial drill sites. this will be followed by initial drill testing to determine if there are mineralisation trends or if it is part of a larger halo of mineralisation related to a porphyry system.

Nakru Project

Approximately 10,000m of drilling is planned in stage 1 to initially test the defined targets at Nakru 1 and Nakru 2 prospects. the drilling will utilise a combination of diamond core and reverse circulation techniques and will include some deep holes to about 500m. Detailed airborne magnetic and ground 3D-IP geophysical surveys may also be undertaken to help further orientate resource delineation drilling by outlining the extent of the mineralisation target beneath volcanic ash cover.

At Nakru 1 Prospect the initial drilling will be designed to help determine the vertical and lateral extent of mineralisation within the breccia-hosted gold target, and also to test the porphyry-style copper-gold mineralisation at depth potentially grading 0.5-0.7% copper. some holes will be sited to test the inferred intrusive target at depth. Follow up resource delineation drilling will be planned on the basis of the initial drilling results.

At the Nakru 2 Prospect, the initial drilling will test an existing copper-gold soil and (bulldozer) trenching anomaly. the extent of further drilling will depend on the initial drilling results.

For the Nakru 3 Prospect, soil sampling and trenching is planned over a 1km x 1km area. Anomalous results will be tested with some follow-up deep drilling.

At the Nakru 4 prospect gold in soil anomalies of up to 600m x 100m have been delineated by 5m deep Wacker drilling. Deep 300m drillholes are planned to test the soil anomalies and based on these results, further drilling may be undertaken to delineate the extent of copper and gold mineralisation.

the Plesyumi porphyry copper-gold system has mineralisation delineated to 152m depth from the existing 21 drillholes. the large area of anomalous copper in stream samples associated with a distinct airborne magnetic low, similar to that of the “simuku crush Zone” is expected to be tested with soil and trench sampling prior to further drilling being considered.

Opinion On Exploration Programme

CuMo’s exploration program for its tenement interests has been planned to meet the requirements of the particular geological environments and exploration methodologies, which have been outlined in this Report.

The exploration program and expenditures covers all of the tenements reviewed in this report and includes expenditure on pre-feasibility studies. The program covers a wide range of technical activities and includes the commencement of new programs. Information derived from previous and future investigations of this type and systematic project exploration will provide targets for drilling.

We consider that the planned exploration program is satisfactory and well defined and that the project and expenditure budgets are reasonable. having regard to the stated objectives of CuMo, the prospectivity of the individual exploration areas and the exploration database already available, we are of the opinion that sufficient exploration work has taken place on CuMo’s tenements and areas of interest over the past 2 years in order to justify the planned exploration programs and expenditure budgets.

Notes to and forming part of the Historical Financial Information

it should be noted that coppermoly limited was incorporated on 27 July 2007 and therefore does not have any historical data from previous accounting periods.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

the significant policies, which have been adopted in the preparation of the historical and pro-forma financial information reported under Australian equivalents to International Financial reporting standards (“AIFrs”) are shown below:

(a) Basis of preparation of

(f) Goods and services tax

revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and services tax (”Gst”) except:

  • when the Gst incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the Gst is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of Gst included

the net amount of Gst recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

financial information

the financial information has been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting standards, urgent Issues Group consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting standards Board. the financial information has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

(b) statement of compliance

the financial report complies with the recognition in measurement requirements, but not all the disclosure requirements, of Australian Accounting standards, which include AIFrs.

(c) cash and cash equivalents

cash and short term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the cash Flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(d) trade and other receivables

trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect the debt.

(e) revenue recognition

revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and revenue can be reliably measured. the following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.

cash flows are included in the cash Flow statement on a gross basis and the Gst component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of Gst recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(g) Income tax

current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. the tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences,

68 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

and the carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary differences is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it is has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities are related to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(h) recoverable amount

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash

generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. that increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(i) exploration expenditure

exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. these costs are only carried forward to the extent that the company’s entity’s rights of tenure to that area of interest are current and that the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale, or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area are continuing.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

prospectus 2007 | coPPerMoLY LIMIteD 69

Impairment

the carrying values of exploration costs are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

the recoverable amount of exploration costs is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(j) Payables

trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(k) share-based payment transactions

the company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the company in the form of share based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity settled transactions”).

the cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. the fair value of options is determined using the Black-scholes model.

performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. the income statement charge or credit for the period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

If equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(l) contributed equity

ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(m) employee leave benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Mineral sands Limited (“market conditions”) if applicable.

the cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).

the cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. they are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

Long service leave

the liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. consideration is given to expected future wage and

70 coPPerMoLY LIMIteD[|] prospectus 2007

salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

  • furniture and fixtures – over 13 years;

  • leasehold improvements – the lease term; and

  • plant and equipment – over 2 to 10 years.

the assets residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Impairment

the carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

the recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating units values exceed its estimated recoverable amount. the asset or cash generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(o) significant assumptions

the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. the key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Shares based payment transactions

the company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the company in the form of share based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity settled transactions”).

the cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. the fair value of options is determined using the Black-scholes model.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

the estimation of useful lives has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturer’s warranties (for plant and equipment), lease terms, (for leased equipment). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary.
