ASX Announcement
4th August 2009 ASX Code: COY
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
Coppermoly Limited (Coppermoly) is pleased to announce that it has lodged a prospectus with ASIC and ASX for a non-renounceable rights issue (Rights Issue) on the basis of 1 New Share for every 2 Existing Shares held on the Record Date at a price of 5 cents each, with 1 free-attaching New Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for (with an exercise price of 7 cents, exercisable on or before 1 December 2011).
The maximum number of New Shares which may be issued under the Rights Issue is 41,007,644 to raise up to \$2,050,382 (before the costs of the Rights Issue).
Coppermoly is undertaking the Rights Issue to provide working capital to undertake:
- Further drilling at the Nakru-1 and Nakru-2 prospects. The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with high grade copper intersected near surface. Drilling will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies leading to a resource estimation. Further geophysical surveys are planned to test sub-surface mineralisation potential of areas surrounding these prospects;
- Additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior to undertaking feasibility studies. Separate near surface molybdenum targets will also be drill tested at the Horseshoe Prospect; and
- Evaluation and possible acquisition of other copper-gold projects.
Nakru and Simuku are advanced copper-molybdenum-gold projects. Further drilling will enable the Company to add to their value and progress them to a stage of feasibility. Our projects are accessible by vehicle from the Provincial capital of Kimbe which has an operating deep water port and a nearby regional airport with daily flight access to Sydney via Port Moresby.
The Rights Issue is not being underwritten.

5 August 2009
Dear Shareholder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT ISSUE
Rights Issue
Coppermoly Ltd (Coppermoly) has announced a non-renounceable entitlements issue of up to 41,007,644 Shares on the basis of 1 New Share for every 2 Existing Shares at a price of 5 cents per New Share to raise up to AUD\$2,050,382 (before the costs of the issue) (Rights Issue).
For every 2 New Shares issued, subscribers will also receive 1 free-attaching New Option to subscribe for 1 Share at an exercise price of 7 cents and exercisable by 1 December 2011.
You will be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue if you have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and hold Shares at 5pm (AEST) on the Record Date.
Shareholders can apply for unsubscribed shares over and above their allocation. The Board will reserve the right to place any shortfall of the issue with third-parties.
The primary objective of the Rights Issue is to raise sufficient working capital to undertake:
- further drilling at the Nakru-1 and Nakru-2 prospects. The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with high grade copper intersected near surface. Drilling will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies leading to a resource estimation. Further geophysical surveys are planned to test sub-surface mineralisation potential of areas surrounding these prospects;
- additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior to undertaking feasibility studies. Separate near surface molybdenum targets will also be drill tested at the Horseshoe Prospect; and
- evaluation and possible acquisition of other copper-gold projects.
Nakru and Simuku are advanced copper-molybdenum-gold projects. Further drilling will enable the Company to add to their value and progress them to a stage of feasibility. Our projects are accessible by vehicle from the provincial capital of Kimbe which has an operating deep water port and a nearby regional airport with daily flight access to Sydney via Port Moresby.
The Board reserves the right to refund application monies raised from the Rights Issue if it is deemed that they are insufficient to enable Coppermoly to meet its stated objectives, and provide the required level of working capital required by Coppermoly.
A Prospectus with personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Forms, detailing the Rights Issue will be dispatched to Shareholders eligible to participate on 17 August 2009.
The Board commends the Rights Issue to Shareholders.
Timetable
The current proposed timetable for the Rights Issue is set out below. The dates are indicative only and Coppermoly reserves the right to vary the dates (subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules).
| Activity | Date |

Dear Option holder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT ISSUE
Rights Issue
Coppermoly Ltd (Coppermoly) has announced a non-renounceable entitlements issue of up to 41,007,644 New Shares on the basis of 1 New Share for every 2 Existing Shares at a price of 5 cents per New Share to raise up to AUD\$2,050,382 (before the costs of the issue) (Rights Issue).
For every 2 New Shares issued, subscribers will also receive 1 free-attaching New Option to subscribe for 1 Share at an exercise price of 7 cents and exercisable by 1 December 2011.
The Record Date for determining entitlements under the Rights Issue is expected to be 13 August 2009.
You may wish to consider exercising your options in order to convert them to ordinary shares prior to the record date for the Rights Issue. The exercise price of the Company's options is significantly greater than the recent market price of the Company's shares and therefore Optionholders are advised to carefully evaluate the costs and benefits of exercising their options in the course of making this decision.

To exercise your options and participate in the Rights Issue you will need to deliver the following to the registered office of Coppermoly:
-
- a notice in writing to the directors of Coppermoly specifying the number of options to be exercised (Option Exercise Notice);
-
- your option certificate covering that number of options; and
-
- payment for the exercise price for those options by way of a cheque made payable to Coppermoly Limited.
Each share allotted as a result of the exercise of an option will rank pari passu with all other issued ordinary shares of Coppermoly.
Option Exercise Notices and funds must be received by no later than 5.00 pm (AEST) on 10 August 2009.
For further information on your entitlement, please contact your stockbroker or Coppermoly's share registry – Registries Limited

4 August 2009
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Directors of Coppermoly Limited (Coppermoly) it is with pleasure that I invite you to participate in this Rights Issue, which seeks to raise approximately \$2 million. The Company has decided to undertake a Rights Issue to raise funds to further improve the value of its assets in three large well defined copper-gold-molybdenum projects on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea.
Coppermoly is an ASX listed junior mineral explorer which is focused on exploring for copper, gold and molybdenum. Our Nakru (100% interest / 47 km²), Simuku (90% interest / 48 km²) and Talelumas (100% interest / 75 km²) projects are accessible by road and track from an existing operating deep water port in the provincial capital of Kimbe.
The Nakru project has significant copper grades near the surface associated with two separate geophysical induced polarisation anomalies one kilometre apart.
The first ever drill hole at the Nakru-2 Prospect intersected 27.7 metres grading 1.90% copper which included 6.7 metres grading 3.8% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 1.7% zinc and 9.5 g/t silver, from 15 metres below the surface. The second hole intersected 8 metres grading 3.18% copper, 0.25 g/t gold, 1.7% zinc and 10.9 g/t silver, from 18 metres below the surface. Historical surface results in a trench 600 metres away include 5 metres grading 3.5% copper and 6.6% zinc.
At Nakru-1, our first deep hole drilled in 2008 intersected semi-massive sulphides with 63.9 metres grading 0.54% copper and 0.34 g/t gold including 28.4 metres grading 1.1% copper at 30 metres depth. Historical drilling results include 5.6 metres grading 1.90 g/t gold in an upper gold bearing breccia blanket and 11.2 metres grading 0.95% copper and 2.55 g/t gold at 91 metres depth. These intersections of copper are related to part of a larger Induced Polarisation geophysical anomaly.
These drilling results at Nakru-1 and Nakru-2, together with recently defined and associated geophysical anomalies, present themselves as a new and exciting style of copper and base metal target near the surface, yet to be fully tested by drilling.
The Simuku porphyry copper deposit has an Inferred Resource of 200 million tonnes grading 0.36% copper, 61 ppm molybdenum, 0.06 g/t gold and 2 g/t silver (containing 700,000 tonnes of copper, 12,000 tonnes of molybdenum, 12 tonnes of gold and 391 tonnes of silver). This Resource occurs within the northern one-third of the known area of copper mineralisation defined by surface trenching. There is also surface copper (supergene) enrichment where drilling intersected a 27 metre thick layer grading 0.74% copper (from 23 metres depth) at Tobarum and a 16 metre thick horizon grading 1.0% copper (from 16 metres depth) at Nayam. Higher grades of primary copper were intersected at the Nayam Prospect including 16 metres grading 1.24% copper from 240 metres down hole depth. These higher grade copper intersections warrant further drilling to define higher grade resources both at depth as well as in nearer surface enrichment. High grade zones of molybdenum have also been demonstrated at the Horseshoe Prospect, including 0.41% molybdenum from surface that are yet to be fully evaluated by drilling.
Simuku is only a one hour drive from Kimbe and a two hour drive from a regional airport with daily flight access to Sydney via Port Moresby. Further drilling is strongly warranted to estimate a resource associated with the near surface copper enrichment blanket, prior to a pre-feasibility study.
Coppermoly's Directors and their Management team have proven experience in building project value and are looking to acquire other projects to build the Company's portfolio of mineral assets. The Company is a successful explorer with its own heavy machinery and two diamond core drill rigs.
I invite you to participate in this exciting period of exploration and project enhancement by taking up the Offer under this Prospectus. Funds raised from the Rights Issue will be directed towards:
- further drilling at the Nakru-1 and Nakru-2 prospects. The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with high grade copper intersected near surface. Drilling will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies leading to a resource estimation. Further geophysical surveys are planned to test sub-surface mineralisation potential of areas surrounding these prospects;
- additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior to undertaking feasibility studies. Separate near surface molybdenum targets will also be drill tested at the Horseshoe Prospect; and
- evaluation and possible acquisition of other copper-gold projects.
Shareholders can participate in the Rights Issue by subscribing to this Offer that consists of one New Share at 5 cents for every two Shares held on the Record Date (with one free attaching New Option for every two New Shares purchased). The free attaching New Options are exercisable at 7 cents on or before 1 December 2011. You may apply for additional New Shares and New Options in excess of your entitlement. The Directors will allocate any New Shares and New Options from the Shortfall at their discretion having regard to the order of receipt of Applications.
In addition to this Prospectus you may read the Coppermoly Quarterly Reports and subsequent ASX releases to be fully informed on the status of the projects.
Coppermoly is also in the process of discussions with a number of mining and exploration companies and fund managers. A joint venture arrangement would be considered if on favourable terms to the Company and its shareholders.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Swiridiuk Managing Director

Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 2 Existing Shares which the Shareholder holds on the Record Date. The New Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects from the date of allotment with the existing class of quoted Shares.
For every 2 New Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus, subscribers will also receive 1 New Option to subscribe for 1 Share at an exercise price of 7 cents and exercisable by 1 December 2011. The New Options are to be issued to subscribers for no extra consideration and will be issued on the terms and conditions as set out in section 5 of this Prospectus.
This Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis. Shareholders who are registered as at 5.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date may not sell or transfer all or any part of their Entitlement to New Shares. Information on how to deal with these Rights is set out at Section 2 of this Prospectus.
1.2 Oversubscriptions
Oversubscriptions will not be accepted.
1.3 Underwriting
This Offer is not underwritten and therefore there is no guarantee that all the projected proceeds of the Offer will be raised.
1.4 Purpose of the Rights Issue
The purpose of the Rights Issue is to raise up to \$2,050,382 before transaction costs which will be used by the Company to undertake:
- (a) further drilling at the Nakru-1 and Nakru-2 prospects. The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with high grade copper intersected near surface. Drilling will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies leading to a resource estimation. Further geophysical surveys are planned to test sub-surface mineralisation potential of areas surrounding these prospects;
- (b) additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior to undertaking feasibility studies. Separate near surface molybdenum targets will also be drill tested at the Horseshoe Prospect;
- (c) evaluation and possible acquisition of other copper-gold projects; and
- (d) to provide working capital.
1.5 Eligible Shareholders
To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must:
- (a) be registered as a Shareholder at the close of business (5.00pm AEST) on the Record Date; and
- (b) have an address in Australia or New Zealand as recorded on the Share Register as at the Record Date.
1.6 Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholders
The New Shares being offered under this Prospectus are being offered to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand (as at the Record Date).
The Rights Issue will not be offered to Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholders (i.e. shareholders resident outside of Australia or New Zealand).
The Company has determined (pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a)) that it is not economically viable for it to make offers to Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholders due to the cost of meeting compliance requirements with securities laws in each applicable jurisdiction in which Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholders reside.
Accordingly, the Company will not be extending the Rights Issue to Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholders.
The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to offer the Rights Issue to a Shareholder with an address in the Share Register outside Australia or New Zealand if the Company is satisfied that it is not precluded from lawfully issuing New Shares and New Options to that Shareholder either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Board in its sole discretion regard as acceptable.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to acquire securities in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation. No action has been taken to register the New Shares and New Options or otherwise permit an offering of New Shares and New Options in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand.
The distribution of this Prospectus outside Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law. If you come into possession of this Prospectus, you should observe any such restrictions and should seek your own advice on such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may contravene applicable securities laws.
1.7 Entitlements and Application
The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Fractional entitlements to New Shares have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
The Record Date for the purpose of the Offer is 5.00pm (AEST) on 13 August 2009. The holders of existing options issued by the Company may participate in the Offer if they exercise their options and are on the Company's share register as the holder of Shares on the Record Date.
1.8 Application for Additional Shares
If your acceptance exceeds your Entitlement as shown on that form, and:
- there is a Shortfall, the Company may place additional New Shares and New Options to you in accordance with the explanation provided at Section 1.9 of this Prospectus; and
- there is no Shortfall, your acceptance will be deemed to be for the maximum Entitlement.
If you apply for New Shares and New Options in excess of your Entitlement, you must provide the Application Money for the full amount of New Shares and New Options applied for. There is no guarantee that you will receive additional New Shares and New Options you apply for in excess of your Entitlement. If you do not receive any or all of the additional New Shares and New Options applied for, any excess Application Monies will be returned to you (without interest).
1.9 Shortfall
If any Shortfall remains after Shareholders have taken up their Entitlements to New Shares and New Options, the Directors reserve the right pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exemption 3) to place any Shortfall with parties selected by them. All Shortfall Shares will be placed within 3 months of the Closing Date and will be issued on the same terms as are being offered to Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.10 Allotment of New Shares
New Shares and New Options under the Rights Issue are expected to be allotted by 15 September 2009 (subject to variation at the discretion of the Company).
1.11 Application Monies
Until the New Shares and the New Options are issued, the Company will hold the Application Monies on trust in bank accounts in Australia. The accounts will be established and kept solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies and retaining those funds for as long as required under the Corporations Act.
Any interest accrued on Application Monies will be retained by the Company and will not be paid to the relevant Eligible Shareholder including if the Rights Issue is cancelled or withdrawn.
1.12 Market Prices for Shares on ASX
The lowest and highest market prices of the Shares of the Company on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of this Prospectus were \$0.042 and \$0.075 respectively.
The volume weighted average price for Shares on the ASX over the 30 trading days preceding the date of announcement of the Rights Issue was \$0.056.
The Issue Price therefore represents a discount of approximately 12% to the 30 day volume weighted average price for Shares.
1.13 Taxation Implications
Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications of participating in the Offer and subscribing for New Shares and New Options. The taxation consequences of participating in the Offer and/or acquiring New Shares and New Options may vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Shareholder. Shareholders should consult their own professional taxation advisers to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances.
1.14 Regular Reporting and Disclosure
The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and as such is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the market.
In particular, the Company has an obligation (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX once it is, or becomes, aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities. All announcements made by the Company are available from the ASX website www.asx.com.au or from the Company website www.coppermoly.com.au.

Further information is provided at Section 3 of this Prospectus.
1.15 Financial Amounts
Money as expressed in this Prospectus is in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated. Any discrepancies between totals in tables and sums of components in tables in this Prospectus and between those figures and figures referred to in other parts of this document are due to rounding.
1.16 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will not be issuing Share certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-register is electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Shareholders will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares and New Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise Shareholders of their Shareholder Identification Number (SIN) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to Shareholders in circumstances in which there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
1.17 Privacy
If you complete an Application for Shares you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company's share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your Application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company's share registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Shareholders resident outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to accept or deal with their Entitlements.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
The return of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form from a Non-Eligible Foreign Shareholder will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained by the Applicant and that the Company may legally issue the New Shares and New Options to the Applicant.

3.3 Transaction Specific Prospectus
This Prospectus is issued in reliance on section 713 of the Corporations Act. Section 713 of the Corporations Act enables a company to issue a transaction specific prospectus if the prospectus is for an offer of a class of securities that have been continuously quoted on ASX for at least 12 months (or options to acquire continuously quoted securities) before the date of issue of the prospectus.

SECTION 4 – EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON THE COMPANY
4.1 Purpose of the Offer and Use of the Funds Raised
Under the Offer up to 41,007,644 New Shares at an Offer Price of \$0.05 are available for issue.
After expenses of the Offer, the proceeds from the issue of New Shares and New Options will be approximately \$1,990,000. These funds will be used to undertake:
- (a) further drilling at the Nakru-1 and Nakru-2 prospects. The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with high grade copper intersected near surface. Drilling will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies leading to a resource estimation. Further geophysical surveys are planned to test sub-surface mineralisation potential of areas surrounding these prospects;
- (b) additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior to undertaking feasibility studies. Separate near surface molybdenum targets will also be drill tested at the Horseshoe Prospect;
- (c) evaluation and possible acquisition of other copper-gold projects; and
- (d) to provide working capital.
If less than the full subscription is raised, the funds will be applied firstly to the costs of the Offer and then to provide working capital, followed by the exploration activities in the order listed above.
4.2 Effect of the Offer
Assuming all New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus are issued, the principal effect of the Offer will be to:
- (a) increase cash reserves by \$1,990,000 after deducting estimated expenses of the Offer and assuming all New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus are issued;
- (b) increase the number of Shares on issue from 82,015,288 to up to 123,022,932; and
- (c) increase the number of Options on issue from 27,204,777 to up to 47,708,599.
Upon completion of the Offer (assuming it is fully subscribed and excluding any Shares that may be issued as a result of the exercise of any options before the Record Date) the issued capital of the Company will comprise:
| Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Shares at the date of this Prospectus | 82,015,288 |
| Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus | 41,007,644 |
| Post completion of Offer | 123,022,932 |
If all Shareholders take up their Entitlements in full then the Rights Issue will have no effect on the control of the Company.
The equity of existing Shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue will be diluted. The equity of existing Shareholders who only take up part of their Entitlement will also be diluted but to a lesser extent.
If all Shareholders do not take up their Entitlements the following could occur:
- (a) The Directors may place any Shortfall either with Shareholders that apply for additional New Shares and New Options in excess of their Entitlement or with other investors.
- (b) It is possible that the some Shareholders or other investors may acquire additional New Shares and New Options by taking up part of the Shortfall. This may result in a person or a Shareholder:
- being issued New Shares and New Options in excess of their Entitlement; and
- increasing their proportional interest in the Company.
The effect that placement of any Shortfall may have on control will depend entirely on the demand for any Rights and the demand for any Shortfall.

- (d) An Option Holder may only exercise New Options in multiples of 50,000 New Options, unless the Option Holder exercises all New Options able to be exercised by the Option Holder at that time.
- (e) The exercise by an Option Holder of only some of the New Options held by the Option Holder does not affect the Option Holder's right to exercise at a later date other New Options held by the Option Holder.
- (f) The Shares issued on the exercise of the New Options will rank equally in all respects as from the date of issue of those Shares with all existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
- (g) If an Option Holder fails to exercise any New Options registered in the Option Holder's name before 5.00pm on the 1 December 2011, those New Options that the Option Holder has not exercised lapse and all rights of the Option Holder in respect of those New Options cease.
- (h) If the Shares are listed on ASX the Company will make application to ASX for Official Quotation of the Shares issued on the exercise of the New Options.
- (i) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and Option Holders will not be entitled to participate in any new issue to Shareholders of the Company during the currency of the New Options.

- (k) The rights of the Option Holder may be changed to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
5.2 Rights attaching to Shares issued upon exercise of New Options
There is only one class of Shares in the Company, fully paid ordinary shares.
The rights attaching to Shares in the Company are:
- set out in the constitution of the Company; and
- in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the SCH Business Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the principal rights of the holders of Shares in the Company.
Voting
Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands and on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every fully paid share held by him or her and a proportionate vote for every partly paid share registered in such Shareholder's name on the Company's share register.
A poll may be demanded by:
- (a) the chairperson of the meeting;
- (b) by any 5 Shareholders present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative; or
- (c) by any one or more shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of, or paid up value of the Shares of all those Shareholders having the right to vote at that meeting.
Dividends
Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared or determined to be payable by the Directors. Dividends declared will be payable on the Shares in proportion to the amount for the time being paid or credited as paid in respect of each Share.
Transfer of Shares
A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by ASX or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.
The Directors of the Company may refuse to register any transfer of Shares other than a proper ASTC transfer where permitted by the Listing Rules. The Company must not refuse or fail to register or give effect to or delay or in any way interfere with a proper ASTC transfer of Shares or other securities.
Meetings and notice
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
Liquidation rights
The Company has only one class of shares on issue which all rank equally in the event of liquidation. Once all the liabilities of the Company are satisfied a liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Shareholders, divide among the Shareholders at the time the whole or any part of the remaining assets of the Company. The liquidator may with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit but no Shareholder of the Company can be compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
Shareholder liability
As the Shares to be issued on the exercise of New Options will be fully paid Shares they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
Alteration of constitution
The constitution of the Company can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. While the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX, at least 28 days written notice of the special resolution must be given.
6.1 General
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 identified what they believe to be the major risks that may affect the Company. 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, it is recommended that before deciding whether or not to invest you:
- read the Prospectus in its entirety;
- consider the nature, probability and materiality of the risks described in this Section; and
- seek independent advice from an Australian financial services licensee, 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 we have identified in this section are beyond our 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 New Shares and New Options is an appropriate investment for you;
- appreciate that the price of shares and options listed on ASX can fall as well as rise; and
- regard an investment in the New Shares and New Options as a speculative investment.
6.2 Exploration Risk
The successful exploration and development of mineral properties is speculative. There is no assurance that exploration of the Company's tenement portfolio 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.
6.3 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 and payment of compensation may be required.
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.
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 cooperative approach in its dealings with all interested parties in these communities.
6.4 Tenure
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 that the licence may not be renewed or that new conditions may be imposed upon renewal (such as a requirement to expend additional money on exploration). There is a risk that these conditions will not be commercially viable.
6.5 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.
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.
6.6 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.
6.7 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.
6.8 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.
6.9 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 and supply of capital.
The Shares and Options of the Company may rise or fall in price depending on market conditions and investor attitude.
6.10 Commodity Prices and Exchange Rate Risk
The Company's share and option price, future revenues and cash flows may be impacted by changes in the prices of minerals commodities. Commodity prices 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 and Options. 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.
6.11 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.
6.12 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 Options and the operations of the Company could be adversely affected by the departure of any of these employees.
7.1 Interests of Directors and Experts of the Company
