1 INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
-
Key portfolio of highly prospective copper and uranium projects in South Australia and Northern Territory.
-
Core is targeting large scale copper and uranium projects in an area which already hosts a number of world-class mining operations including the Olympic Dam and Beverley mines and Hillside copper project.
-
Yorke Peninsula Copper Project is located adjacent to Rex Minerals (ASX:RXM) Hillside Project tenements on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.
-
The first diamond drill program on the Yorke Peninsula Project identified minor copper mineralisation associated with alteration typical of other IOCG style deposits in South Australia.
-
Core’s maiden drilling program in November 2012 on the Fitton Project in South Australia discovered high grade uranium.
-
Follow up drilling at Fitton completed in March 2013 has expanded on the success of the original program and has increased the depth of uranium mineralisation beyond 150m and extended the structure controlling mineralisation to over 1km.
-
Core’s strategic holding in the Aileron Province in the Northern Territory, the Albarta Project, now covers over 2,000km[2] and is highly prospective for IOCG (Iron-Oxide-CopperGold) deposits.
-
Given the number of recent copper exploration successes in the Aileron Province, and a recent report issued by Geoscience Australia, the Aileron Province has become Australia’s new IOCG exploration “hot-spot”.
-
The Company has identified a number of significant copper, gold, uranium and rare earth element occurrences on the Albarta Project. This suite of commodity metals can be associated with large IOCG style systems in Australia (e.g. Olympic Dam).
-
Core’s early work at Albarta has found high grade mineralisation at a number of prospects. Exploration work is actively underway to define priority targets for Core’s first drill program in the NT.
-
The Yerelina project in S.A. is highly prospective for shallow high grade silver, lead and zinc mineralisation. Grades and potential drill targets have been confirmed by Core on five separate north-south structures within an 8km x 2km area.
The information in this report that relates to exploration results, mineral resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Stephen Biggins who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Biggins is the Managing Director of Core Exploration Ltd. Mr Biggins has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Biggins has given and not withdrawn his consent for the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

RISK FACTORS
Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus. Some of the key risks associated with an investment in the Company are summarised in the following table. This list of risks is not exhaustive. Full details of the risks tabled below and other risk factors are set out in section 9 of this Prospectus. The occurrence of any of the risks or events outlined below could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations and, in turn, the price at which its Securities trade on ASX.
| Risk Area | Risks | Section Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Future Capital Requirements |
The Company's activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company's activities. |
9.10 |
| Mineral Resource Estimates |
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. |
9.13 |
| Market Conditions |
The market price of Existing Shares and New Securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. |
9.3 |
| General Risks | Economic risks, commodity price, reliance on key personnel, market conditions, general resource sector risks, regulatory risk and other risks exist in relation to an investment in the Company. |

3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder
As a Shareholder in Core Exploration Limited (“ Core ”, or the “ Company ”) your Directors are pleased to invite you to participate in a renounceable Rights Issue to raise up to $0.98 million in funds (before costs) on the basis of two New Shares for every three Existing Shares held as at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.03 each, together with one free attaching New Option for every New Share issued pursuant to this Prospectus. The Rights Issue is partially underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited.
The Company has incorporated a Shortfall facility whereby Eligible Shareholders may apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement at the same price.
The funds raised will be used by the Company primarily to evaluate and test a range of quality targets identified within the Albarta Project area, and to provide working capital. Expenditure on the Albarta Project will focus on regional exploration and the identification of drill targets with drilling expected to commence in the second half of 2013.
In the last 12 months Core has been successful in expanding its tenement holdings in the highly prospective Aileron Province in the Northern Territory and the Company is committed to actively exploring these tenements. The Company’s Albarta Project covers over 2,000km[2] of the newly recognised, highly prospective IOCG Aileron Province, 100km NE of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. These tenements include a number of significant copper, gold, silver, uranium and rare earth element (REE) mineral occurrences, including high grade silver and copper assays from rock chip sampling at Bluey’s Prospect and copper in rock chips at Paradise Well.
The Company continues to have exploration success at the Fitton Project in South Australia. The Company’s maiden drill program in November 2012 discovered high grade uranium. Follow up drilling at Fitton completed in March 2013 has expanded on the success of the original program and has increased the depth of high grade uranium beyond 150m and extended the structure controlling mineralisation to over 1km.
As a result of the success at Fitton and the promising early results from the Albarta Project, the Company considers that it is well placed for both short term and longer term growth that will be driven by exploration success on these projects. The Albarta Project has never been systematically explored and is considered to be highly prospective. A systematic exploration program is planned throughout 2013/2014 to follow on from the early success at Albarta and Fitton.
Your support of this fundraising is important. The proceeds of the Rights Issue will enhance the future of the Company. On behalf of the Board, I invite you to consider the contents of this Prospectus carefully and to consult with your financial advisor and encourage you to participate in the Rights Issue. The Directors have indicated that they will be participating in the Rights Issue.
Yours faithfully,
Greg English Chairman

4 DETAILS OF THE OFFER
4.1 The Offer
A renounceable pro rata entitlements issue to Eligible Shareholders of approximately 32,720,296 New Shares (assuming no Options are exercised before the Record Date) on the basis of two New Shares for every three Existing Shares held as at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.03 each to raise approximately $0.98 million before issue costs, together with one free attaching New Option for every New Share issued pursuant to this Prospectus.
The Company currently has 49,080,444 Existing Shares on issue and has granted 10,750,000 unlisted Options, all of which are currently eligible for conversion ( “Eligible Options” ). To be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue, the holders of the Eligible Options must first exercise their Options in accordance with the terms of those Options and must do so prior to the Record Date.
In the event that no Eligible Option holders exercise their Options prior to the Record Date, Shareholders holding the Existing Shares will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue pursuant to this Prospectus, which will result in the issue of up to 32,720,296 New Shares and 32,720,296 New Options.
In the event that all Eligible Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, this Prospectus will also offer to those Shareholders a further 7,166,667 New Shares and 7,166,667 New Options to raise a further $215,000 (before issue costs).
The capital structure of the Company in each circumstance would be as follows:
| Example 1: No exercise of Eligible Options | Shares | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Securities | 49,080,444 | 10,750,000 |
| Issue of New Securities under the Offer | 32,720,296 | 32,720,296 |
| Total Securities on issue after the Offer (no Eligible Options exercised) |
81,800,740 | 43,470,296 |
| Example 2: Exercise of Eligible Options prior to Record Date | ||
| Existing Securities | 49,080,444 | 10,750,000 |
| Issue of Shares on exercise of all Eligible Options1 | 10,750,000 | (10,750,000) |
| Securities on issue as at the Record Date | 59,830,444 | Nil |
| Issue of New Securities under the Offer | 39,886,963 | 39,886,963 |
| Total Securities on issue after the Offer (all Eligible Options exercised) 1 |
99,717,407 | 39,886,963 |
Notes:
- The Board considers it highly unlikely that any of the Eligible Options will be exercised before the Record Date given the exercise prices of these options range from $0.11 to $0.25 and there is minimal likelihood of conversion. For further details see section 5.5 .
4.2 No Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.
8
4.3 Underwriting
The Offer is partially underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited to the extent of the first $360,000, being 12,000,000 New Shares and 12,000,000 New Options. A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in section 10.2 of the Prospectus.
In addition, all Directors (or their nominees) have agreed to partially sub-underwrite the Offer up to the number of New Shares, New Options and amounts and on the terms set out below:
| Director | Maximum Amount of sub-underwriting ($) |
Maximum number of New Shares |
Maximum number of New Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stephen Biggins Greg English Michael Schwarz |
$75,000 $35,000 $10,000 |
2,500,000 1,666,670 333,334 |
2,500,000 1,666,670 333,334 |
| Total | $120,000 | 4,500,004 | 4,500,004 |
No other sub-underwriters will be related parties of the Company.
The sub-underwriting agreements with the Directors are on standard commercial terms. The amount of sub-underwriting by each Director will be dependent on the amount raised under the Offer and will be calculated according to the following formula:
A = (12,000,000 – B) x C 12,000,000
Where:
-
A = number of New Shares to be sub-underwritten by the relevant Director.
-
B = number of New Shares accepted as valid Applications under the Offer.
-
C = the maximum number of New Shares to be subscribed by each Director and listed in the table above.
12,000,000 = the maximum number of New Shares agreed to be underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited under the Offer.
If the Company receives valid Applications for at least 12,000,000 New Shares, then the Directors will have no obligation to sub-underwrite the Offer.
There are no fees paid to the Directors for partially sub-underwriting the Offer.
4.4 Entitlement to Rights Issue
Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's Share Register at the close of business on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Offer.
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Securities. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements.
An Application Form setting out your Entitlement to New Shares accompanies this Prospectus.
9
4.5 Acceptances
This Offer may be accepted in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date subject to the rights of the Company to extend the Offer period or close the Offer early.
Instructions for accepting your Entitlement are set out in section 6 and on the Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.
4.6 Rights Trading
The Rights to New Shares are renounceable, which enables Shareholders who do not wish to take up some or all of their Entitlement to sell or otherwise transfer all or part of their Entitlement. Trading of Rights on the ASX is expected to commence on 12 June 2013 and end on 27 June 2013.
4.7 Applying for Additional New Securities
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional New Shares regardless of the size of their present holding.
Entitlements not taken up may become available as Additional New Securities. It is possible, particularly if there is an active Rights trading market, that there will be few or no Additional New Securities available for issue. It is an express term of the Offer that applicants for Additional New Securities will be bound to accept a lesser number of Additional New Securities allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated to them, excess application money will be refunded without interest. The Company and the Underwriter reserve the right to scale back any applications for Additional New Securities in their absolute discretion.
4.8 Effect of the Offer on Control of the Company
It is a general rule under section 606 of the Corporations Act that a person cannot acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a company if because of the transaction in relation to securities, a person’s voting power in the company increases from 20% or below to more than 20% (or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%). The latter does not apply as there is no shareholder with a current relevant interest above 20%.
There are exceptions to that prohibition, including an acquisition pursuant to a rights issue (if the conditions of item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act are satisfied). That exception extends to any underwriter to the issue or sub-underwriter.
The Company reserves the right to reject or scale back any application for Shortfall Shares which it considers may result in breach of section 606. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for monitoring such applications or ensuring that applicants to the Rights Issue do not breach section 606 as a result of participation in the Offer.
4.9 Allotment and Application Money
New Securities will be issued only after all Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Securities to be quoted. It is expected that the New Securities will be issued on 12 July 2013 and normal trading of the New Securities on ASX is expected to commence on 15 July 2013.
All Application Money received before New Securities are issued will be held in a special purpose account. After Application Money is refunded (if required) and New Securities are issued to applicants, the balance of funds in the account plus accrued interest will be received by the Company.
Application will be made within seven days of the date of issue of this Prospectus for the New Securities to be granted Official Quotation by ASX. If such an application is not made within these seven days, or Official Quotation of the New Securities is not granted by ASX within three months of the date of this Prospectus, then the Company will not allot or issue any New Securities and all Application Money received pursuant to this Prospectus will be repaid as soon as practicable, without interest.
10
If the New Securities are not quoted by ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Money in full.
The fact that ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the New Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Securities. ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.
4.10
Offer Outside Australia and New Zealand
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of New Securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Securities or the Offer or otherwise to permit an offering of the New Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand.
This document is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America (including its territories and possessions, any state of the US and the District of Columbia). This document is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.
4.11 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders
The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand because of the small number of such Shareholders, and the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand. The Prospectus is sent to those Shareholders for information only.
The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand). Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any Securities.
Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Application Form to any person outside Australia (other than to Eligible Shareholders).
The Company has appointed the Underwriter (or an associate of the Underwriter) as nominee to sell the Non-qualifying Foreign Shareholders' Rights. The Underwriter (or an associate) will only sell those Rights if there is a viable market in those Rights and a premium over the expenses of sale can be obtained.
Any such sale will be at a price and be conducted in a manner that the nominee will determine in its absolute discretion.
The proceeds of sale (in Australian dollars) will be distributed to the Non-qualifying Foreign Shareholders for whose benefits the Rights have been sold in proportion to their shareholdings as at the Record Date (after deducting the costs of the sale and the distribution of the proceeds), save that individual amounts of less than $10 will be retained by the Company.
Neither the Company nor the nominee will be liable for any failure to sell the Rights or to sell the Rights at any particular price. If there is no viable market for the Rights of the Non-qualifying Foreign Shareholders, their Entitlement will be allowed to lapse and the relevant Securities will become Shortfall Shares, to be dealt with by the Underwriter in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.
4.12 Market Prices of Existing Shares on ASX

4.13 Opening and Closing Dates
The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on 20 June 2013 and will close on 4 July 2013, subject to the right of the Company to vary these dates.

Under CHESS, applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Securities.
If you are broker sponsored, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Securities issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.
If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company’s share registrar and will contain the number of New Securities issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
4.15 Rights and Liabilities attaching to the New Shares
The New Shares will rank equally in respect of dividends and in all other respects (e.g. voting, bonus issues) as Existing Shares.
A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares is set out in section 8 .
4.16 Rights and Liabilities attaching to the New Options
The New Options will form a new class of quoted security.
A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options is set out in section 8 .
4.17 Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Rights Issue or Shareholders applying for New Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.

8 RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO NEW SECURITIES
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company's Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.
8.1
Rights Attaching to New Shares
The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are ordinary shares and will as from their allotment rank equally in all respects with all Existing Shares.
The rights attaching to the New Shares arise from a combination of the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and general law. A copy of the Company’s Constitution is available for inspection free of charge during business hours at its registered office.
A summary of the rights attaching to the New Shares is set out below.

In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson has a casting vote.
(b) Dividends
Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the Company may pay dividends as the Directors resolve but only out of profits of the Company. The Directors may determine the method and time for payment of the dividend.

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, on a winding up of the Company any surplus may be divided among the shareholders of the Company.
(d) Transfer of Shares
Generally, shares are freely transferable, subject to satisfying the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, ASTC Settlement Rules and the Corporations Act. The Directors may decline to register any transfer of Shares but only where permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules, or under the Company’s Constitution.
(e) Further Increases in Capital
Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules and any rights attached to a class of shares, the Company (under the control of the Directors) may allot and issue shares and grant options over shares, on any terms, at any time and for any consideration, as the Directors resolve.
21
-
(f) Variation of Rights
-
Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules and the terms of issue of shares in a particular class, the Company may vary or cancel rights attached to shares in that class by either special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares in that class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the votes in that class.
-
(g) Meetings and Notices
Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

9 RISK FACTORS
9.1 General
An investment in the Company is not risk free and investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for New Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
9.2 Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and future production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
9.3 Market conditions
The market price of Existing Shares and New Securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
9.4 Security Investments
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any investment in securities. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Company’s Securities regardless of the Company's performance.
Mineral exploration and mining are speculative operations that may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Profitability depends on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operation and management and proficient financial management.
Exploration in itself is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overruns for unforseen events.
9.5 Exploration and Evaluation Risks
The success of the Company depends on the delineation of economically minable reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to the Company's exploration and mining tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities.
Exploration on the Company's existing exploration and mining tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the exploration and mining tenements.
In the case of exploration targets, it should be noted that these are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
9.6 Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risks
To the extent the Company is involved in mineral production the revenue derived through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and
24
exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
9.7
Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company attempts to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental management, including compliance with all environmental laws.
9.8
Native Title and Title Risks
Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest; there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be affected.
The Directors closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.
9.9 Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.
9.10 Future Capital Requirements
The Company's activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company's operations and business strategy.
The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company's activities.
25
9.11 Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.
9.12 Legislative changes and Government policy risk
Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. The Company's capacity to explore and mine, in particular the Company' ability to explore and mine any reserves, may be affected by changes in government policy, which are beyond the control of the Company
9.13 Resource Estimations
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
9.14
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company’s success depends largely on the core competencies of its directors and management, and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate, in the metals and mining industry and the Company’s ability to retain its key executives.
26
10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
10.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111 AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus or options to acquire such securities. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(ii) any half year financial statements of the Company lodged with ASIC since the lodgement of the last financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 and before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
27
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of the 2012 audited financial statements:
