The Offer and the content of the Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and Regulations (Australia) set out how the Offers must be made. There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for collective investment schemes is different under the Australian regime. The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian securities may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand securities.

Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to the Offer. If you need to make a complaint about the Offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, Wellington, New Zealand. The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the Shares is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the Shares will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant. If you expect the Shares to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

The Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the Shares offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on the ASX. If you wish to trade the Shares through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the Shares on your behalf. As the ASX does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

The Company is required under Part 1 of the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008 to provide an Eligible Shareholder with copies of the Company's Constitution on request and free of charge.

Risk factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. A summary of some of the more significant risks which affect an investment in the Company are:

 Uranium Mining Regulations

Generally exploration for, and the development and operation of uranium mines, are subject to more stringent and rigorous approvals than for many other types of mining.

Uranium mining and exploration in Australia and Namibia are subject to complex government legislation and regulations. These regulate a wide range of uranium mining and exploration activities, including but not limited to exploration, prospecting, development, transportation, exporting, royalties and the discharge of hazardous waste and materials. The cost of compliance of such regulations ultimately increases the cost of exploration, development and operation of uranium mines and closing of uranium mines.

There can be no guarantee that government policy towards uranium mining will remain the same in the future.

 Exploration and Operational Risks

Mining exploration and production is inherently risky and speculative in nature. There is no guarantee that mineral resources will be discovered, or that they will be in commercially viable quantities or economically profitable.

5

 Fluctuations in Commodity Prices

International factors such as inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand and political and economic events, amongst other things, impact on the price of commodities including uranium and iron, particularly in the current global economic market. If the price of uranium or iron seriously declines in the future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with its projects and the Company may be forced to discontinue some or all of its operations.

 Government Policy and Sovereign Risk

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, Black Economic Empowerment and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements.

The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties which cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

 Competition from Alternative Energy and Public Perception

Nuclear energy is in direct competition with other more conventional sources of energy which include gas, coal and hydro-electricity. The nuclear industry is currently subject to negative public opinion due to political, technological and environmental factors. This may have an adverse impact on the demand for uranium and increase the regulation of uranium mining.

Furthermore, any potential growth of the nuclear power industry (with any attendant increase in the demand for uranium) beyond its current level will depend upon continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity.

 Additional requirements for capital

The ability of the Company to execute its currently planned exploration and project evaluation activities requires the Company to raise additional capital. Accordingly, the Company is raising funds from this Offer and are furthermore investigating various other options for the raising of additional funds which may include, but is not limited to, the implementation of strategic joint ventures and the sale of noncore assets.

Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above, there is uncertainty whether the Company would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at its current values.

Please refer to section 1.2 for more information on the material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity’s continuation as a going concern.

The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in section 3 of this Prospectus.

These risks, together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Directors of Deep Yellow Limited, I invite you to make an investment in your Company.

The Company is pleased to offer its Shareholders a 2:9 non-renounceable entitlement issue of approximately 250,830,312 new Shares at an issue price of 4.2 cents per share. The pricing has been set at 4.2 cents to provide an opportunity for all Shareholders to participate in the capital raising. The Entitlement Issue is partially underwritten by Patersons Securities, which includes a sub-underwriting by the Company’s major Shareholder, Paladin Energy. The Directors have also reserved the right to place any Shortfall.

This Prospectus sets out the details of the Entitlement Issue which will raise up to $10,534,873 before costs. The exact amount of funds raised is dependent on the participation rate of Shareholders and ultimately the Directors’ ability to place any Shortfall. In order to encourage maximum participation, Shareholders will also be able to subscribe for Shares in any Shortfall that may materialise if they have taken up their full entitlement under the Offer.

The past fifteen months have been challenging for the uranium industry as a result of the Fukushima accident and the ongoing volatility in the world’s financial markets but despite this, the Company has continued to deliver strong results and is committed to continuing to build on that success. In particular I would like to highlight our progress in Namibia where we have seen substantial increases in the high grade alaskite resource base of our flagship project, Omahola and the game changing test work to physically beneficiate the Tubas Sand deposit. The environmental clearances issued for the Tubas Sand and Shiyela Iron projects, as well as over the Company’s INCA deposit area are also highlights as they demonstrated the Company’s permitting capability and reflected well on the efficiency of the Namibian regulatory environment. The recent acquisition of Extract Resources Limited by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp. ( CGNPC ) for more than US$2bn has also served to demonstrate the high regard and confidence placed in Namibian assets by the nuclear fuel industry.

In recognition of the challenges of the external environment in which we operate we are now entering a new phase after reviewing and refining our strategy. We have prioritised what must be done in the coming year to both protect and add value to our assets to ensure that the Company will, in 12 months’ time, be in a strong position to capture opportunities on the back of an anticipated improvement in the markets. To achieve this we have implemented plans to significantly reduce overhead and exploration spend and set ourselves key objectives in regard to our core projects whilst seeking to divest non-core assets for value.

For the Company’s Omahola project the key objectives include a focus on resource upgrades, mining studies, metallurgical testwork and further economic assessment which will provide critical inputs into the pre-feasibility study. On the Tubas Sand project we will commence a resource review shortly in advance of an update and mining studies will also be conducted. These too are important inputs into a decision to conduct the pre-feasibility study on this asset. Part of this assessment will be to examine how best to include the Company’s Tubas Sand project into the Omahola project as well as examining stand alone options.

It is also appropriate to rationalise the portfolio at this stage to ensure that the company focusses its full attention and available resources on its core, attractive projects in Namibia. To achieve this, our objective is to divest our early stage Australian exploration portfolio and the Shiyela Iron project in Namibia, whilst seeking to joint venture other non-core assets such as the Nova Energy tenements in Namibia. Our overall objective in this regard will be to seek to generate cash for these assets in the short or medium term, where possible, while keeping one eye on long term value for the Company’s Shareholders. It is anticipated that all of these initiatives will be completed by the end of 2012.

Those of us who are immersed in the uranium industry are remarkably confident that our fundamentals are intact and improving. Evidence of this is that some recent industry deals or acquisitions by Rio

9

Tinto (Hathor Exploration Limited in January 2012), Cameco (Millennium project in June 2012) and CGNPC (Kalahari Minerals plc and Extract Resources Limited, in April 2012 and February 2012 respectively) have indicated a much higher valuation of resources than is reflected in the current share prices of uranium juniors. Recent news flow including the lifting moratorium on new nuclear power plants in China and last Saturday’s decision to begin the process of re-starting Japanese reactors will provide extra confidence. These events will add to the growing realisation that demand will continue to increase, a supply crunch is looming and that a significant and sustained increase in the price of uranium is require to stimulate new production.

It is our belief that the Company’s enhanced focus and this anticipated gradual improvement in the uranium market over the next year will place the Company in a strong position to capture the upside as we move closer to the development of our attractive flagship project. Omahola is, after all, the last remaining independent, higher grade deposit in Namibia, a country that is well established as one of the world’s premier uranium provinces with a proven mining friendly approach to uranium companies.

Accordingly, I encourage your participation in this entitlement issue. Should you wish to discuss any aspect of this capital raising please do not hesitate to contact me, my fellow Directors or the Company secretary, Mark Pitts on +61 8 9286 6999.

Yours faithfully Mervyn Greene Chairman

The independent auditor’s review report accompanying the condensed consolidated financial report of the consolidated entity for the half year ended 31 December 2011, was unqualified but included an ‘emphasis of matter’ as a result of matters described in Note 1 of the financial report, in respect of a material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity’s continuation as a going concern and therefore whether the consolidated entity will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The independent auditor noted that the financial report did not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial report of the consolidated entity for the half year ended 31 December 2011 stated that:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that the Group will continue to meet its commitments and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

However, the ability of the Group to meet its short term obligations and execute its currently planned exploration and project evaluation activities and continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital. Accordingly, the Group has engaged advisors with the objective of raising capital in the short term.

At the date of this financial report the Directors are satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, having regard to the Group’s position and the funding plan, the Group will be able to raise the additional capital required to enable it to continue to operate and meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

Should the Group not achieve the capital raising in the time frame set out above, there is uncertainty whether the Group would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of the recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as going concern.

The Offer will raise sufficient additional funding to meet the anticipated shortfall of funds referred to in the abovementioned note accompanying the consolidated entity’s half year

12

financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2011. The Company’s current cash resources and additional capital proposed to be raised by the Offer are sufficient to meet the Company’s current and approved future activities.

1.3 Strategy Update

The Company has delivered strong results over the last eighteen months in volatile times and is committed to building on that success. In recognition of the challenges of the external environment in which we operate the Company has entered a new phase after reviewing and refining its strategy. The focus will be on both protecting and adding value to our core assets to ensure that the Company will, in 12 months’ time, be in a strong position to capture opportunities on the back of an anticipated improvement in the markets. Plans have already been implemented to significantly reduce overhead and exploration spends and key objectives have been set for the Company’s core projects. The Company will also seek to divest non-core assets for value.

On the Omahola project, where the high grade alaskite resource base has increased considerably, the next step is to complete resource upgrades that will include all the results from the last six to eight months of drilling. Mining studies and metallurgical testwork will also be conducted and further economic assessment will be completed which will provide critical inputs into the pre-feasibility study. The scoping level environmental impact assessment is also expected to commence later this year. It is worthwhile noting that full environmental clearance is already in place over the INCA deposit area which is relevant for Omahola and the Tubas Sand projects.

Last year saw game changing testwork unlock the potential of the Tubas Sand deposit, where it was demonstrated that the low grade deposit could be upgraded by means of physical beneficiation. Processing through a hydrocyclone circuit saw grades increased up to eightfold to in excess of 1,000 ppm U3O8. A resource review is planned to get underway shortly and mining studies will be conducted as well as further bulk sample testwork across the ore body. Two options will be evaluated – long term supplementary supply to the Omahola plant to increase output or a standalone option. The standalone option remains appealing recognising that the project has environmental clearance and could be developed on relatively limited capital for earlier production by supplying loaded resin to one of the existing Namibian uranium producers.

It is also appropriate to rationalise our extensive portfolio at this stage to ensure that the Company focuses its full attention and available resources on its attractive core projects in Namibia. Firstly the early stage Australian portfolio and the Shiyela Iron project will be divested, although in the case of Shiyela it is anticipated that some final elements of the current testwork, aimed at demonstrating the recoverability of an economic hematite or blend magnetite-hematite product, will be completed. Our objective will be seek to generate cash for these assets in the short to medium term whilst possibly retaining some exposure to capture future possible upside for Deep Yellow shareholders. In addition we will be seeking joint venture partners for the Nova Energy (Namibia) and Aussinanis tenements. The Company has already announced that it is in discussion with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited over the Nova Energy (Namibia) tenements and is separately progressing plans in regard to the Aussinanis deposit as well.

If Eligible Shareholders do not take up their entitlement, their existing interest in the Company will be diluted. Please refer to sections 2.4 and 3.2 of this Prospectus for further details.

Inquiries

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR ENTITLEMENT IN FULL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT ABOVE, ANY PART OF AN ENTITLEMENT NOT ACCEPTED IN FULL WILL FORM PART OF THE SHORTFALL.

1.9 Shortfall Offer

Any Shares not taken up by Eligible Shareholders may become available as Shortfall Shares which may be placed by the Company in conjunction with the Underwriter and in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. It is possible that there will be few or no Shortfall Shares available, depending on the level of acceptance of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders.

The offer of any Shortfall is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ). Shortfall Shares will be issued at the same issue price as the Shares offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Offer.

It is at the Company’s discretion (in consultation with the Underwriter) as to whether the Shortfall Shares applied for under this section 1.9 are issued. There is therefore no guarantee that in the event that Shortfall Shares are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.

16

In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the Company reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number applied for, reject an application for Shortfall Shares or not proceed with the issuing of all or part of the Shortfall Shares. If the number of Shortfall Shares is less than the number applied for, surplus application monies will be refunded without interest.

Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlement in full may apply for Shortfall Shares by:

  • (a) completing the relevant section of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form and returning it together with a single cheque for the appropriate application monies for both the Entitlement and the Shortfall Shares applied for; or

  • (b) by paying the appropriate application monies for both the Entitlement and the Shortfall Shares applied for via BPAY using the BPAY code and personalised reference number indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

1.10 Placement of Shortfall Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 3

The Directors reserve the right to place any Shortfall Shares, which are not underwritten or issued to Eligible Shareholders under the Shortfall Offer, at their discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 3. Those Shares will be issued at the same issue price as offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Offer and will be a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to 3 months after the Closing Date. In the event of a Shortfall, it is the intention of the Directors to consider adding to the depth and geographical diversity of the register through the addition of institutional and sophisticated investors.

1.11 Allotment of Shares

The Shares under the Offer and the Shortfall Offer under section 1.9 are expected to be allotted by no later than 27 July 2012. Shares allotted pursuant to the placement of Shortfall Shares under section 1.10 may be allotted within 3 months after the Closing Date. Until issue and allotment of the Shares under this Prospectus, the application monies will be held in trust in a separate bank account opened and maintained for that purpose only. Any interest earned on application monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by it irrespective of whether allotment of the Shares takes place.

1.12 ASX Listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Shares allotted pursuant to this Prospectus will be made to ASX within seven days following the date of this Prospectus.

If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), the Company will not allot any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time period prescribed under the Corporations Act , without interest.

A decision by ASX to grant Official Quotation of the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of ASX’s view as to the merits of the Company, or the Shares now offered for subscription.

1.13 Overseas Investors

The Company has shareholders based in 23 jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand. On examination of the register has found that over 98% of holders can be

17

included in the Offer by accommodating 4 of the 23 jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Therefore the Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make an offer under this Prospectus to Shareholders outside of Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Namibia ( Excluded Shareholders ) having regard to:

  • (a) the number of Shareholders outside of Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Namibia;

  • (b) the number and value of the securities to be offered to Shareholders outside of Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Namibia; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, the Company is not required to, and does not, make offers under the Prospectus to Shareholders outside of Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Namibia.

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 2002 (New Zealand).

The Offer is only being made in:

  • (a) United Kingdom to Eligible Shareholders (as there are fewer than 150 persons in the United Kingdom who are not qualified investors) and to qualified investors within the meaning of section 86(7) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;

  • (b) Ireland to Eligible Shareholders (as there are fewer than 100 persons in Ireland who are not qualified investors) and to qualified investors as defined in the Irish Prospectus (Directive 2003/71/EC) Regulations 2005; and

  • (c) South Africa to Eligible Shareholders and to persons who are of a kind described in accordance with the exemption under section 96(1) of the South African Companies Act 2008.

  • (d) Namibia to Eligible Shareholders and to specific institutional investors invited by the Company to participate in the Shortfall in accordance with the Companies Act, No.28 of 2004.

Members of the public in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Namibia who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any Shares.

Nominee

Subject to ASIC's approval for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act, the Company will issue to Patersons, as a nominee, Shares that could otherwise have been applied for by the Excluded Shareholders had they been Eligible Shareholders. The sale of those Shares, held by Patersons as nominee, will be arranged and the net proceeds will be directed (if any) to the Company.

The proceeds of sale (if any) will be distributed to the Excluded Shareholders for whose benefit the Shares have been sold in proportion to the number of Shares they would have been entitled to apply for under the Entitlement Offer had they been Eligible Shareholders

18

(after deducting the issue price of the Shares, brokerage commission and other expenses).

The price at which Shares can be sold, will depend on various factors, including market conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the Company nor the nominee will be liable for selling Shares at any particular price.

1.14 Market Prices of Shares on ASX

The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of Shares on ASX during the three (3) months immediately preceding the date of this Prospectus and the respective dates of those sales were $0.12 on 26 March 2012 and $0.045 on 19 June 2012.

The latest available market sale price of Shares on ASX at the close of trading on the date of this Prospectus was $0.045 on 19 June 2012.

The net position is unchanged as it assumes Paladin will offset the outstanding amount or be repaid the outstanding amount under the Paladin Loan against monies owed for any application for Shares under this

Prospectus, including in satisfaction of its sub-underwriting obligations in respect of the Offer.

The pro-forma Condensed Statement of Financial Position based on underwritten amount of $5,800,000 :

2.4 Potential impact of Offer on control of the Company

Assuming no existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Shares which will be issued pursuant to the Offer is 250,830,312. This equates to approximately 18% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offer.

As set out above, the Offer is underwritten by Patersons to $5,800,000.

At the date of this Prospectus the Underwriter does not have a relevant interest in any Shares.

The extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement may increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company.

The Company understands that the Underwriter has engaged a number of subunderwriters to the Offer. Apart from Paladin, none of the sub-underwriters will be entitled to acquire a relevant interest in the Company greater than 20% of the Shares on completion of the Offer. None of the sub-underwriters are related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

Should the sub-underwriters to the Offer default in their obligations, the Underwriter would be required to subscribe for the Shortfall Shares itself in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, subject to the Underwriter’s right to terminate the Underwriting Agreement if the default is by a sub-underwriter introduced by the Company. Should this occur, it could have an impact on the control of the Company. In light of this, the Company is providing the additional disclosure below.

If no Eligible Shareholders subscribe for Shares under the Offer, the sub-underwriters to the Offer default in their obligations and all Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued to the Underwriter in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, it will increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company up to 10.9%.

25

The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act. The Underwriter’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below.

Event Number of Shares in
which Underwriter has a

138,095,238 10.9%

The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting on the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Eligible Shareholders, other than the Underwriter, will take up their Entitlements under the Offer. The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by other Eligible Shareholders.

Paladin, a major shareholder and an established uranium producer in Namibia, has agreed to sub-underwrite $4,000,000 of the Offer. There will be no fees payable to either Paladin or the Underwriter for this portion of the Underwritten Amount. Paladin has informed the Company that it intends to provide funding of $4,000,000 to the Company pursuant to the offers in this Prospectus. This may be achieved by Paladin satisfying its sub-underwriting obligations, exercising its entitlement under the Offer, or taking up Shortfall Shares, or a combination of any or all of these options.

Pursuant to the Paladin Loan, if Paladin does not provide funding of $4,000,000 pursuant to the offers under this Prospectus, it may convert all or any part of the outstanding amount under the Paladin Loan to Shares at an issue price of $0.042 up to an amount equal to $4,000,000 less the amount subscribed for by Paladin pursuant to the offers under this Prospectus. Paladin may exercise this right to convert at any time before 31 March 2013. Please refer to section 4.4(c) for a summary of the terms of the Paladin Loan.

The Directors acknowledge that the support of this Offer by Paladin is particularly important in these volatile times in capital markets. Paladin’s support of the Offer demonstrates its continued support of the Company, its management and its assets, particularly its advanced projects in Namibia. Paladin is well versed in the attributes of Namibia and therefore the potential of the Company’s projects.

26

Paladin may acquire a relevant interest in the Company greater than 20% of the Shares on completion of the Offer. Therefore, the Offer may have an impact on the control of the Company.

In addition, Paladin’s voting power may also increase if it exercises its right of conversion under the Paladin Loan as described above.

Paladin is not a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Paladin’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below.

Note:

1 Assumes that the amount outstanding under the Paladin Loan is $2,000,000.

2 The Underwritten Shares will be allocated to the sub-underwriters on a pro-rata basis and Paladin’s voting power has been calculated to reflect this.

The number of Shares held by Paladin and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of its sub-underwriting of the Offer. The sub-underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of Paladin will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by other Eligible Shareholders.

Paladin has informed the Company that if it were to gain effective control of the Company by virtue of shareholdings, including Shares acquired under the Offer and the subunderwriting of the Offer, the current intentions of Paladin are that, to the extent that it is able to do so having regard to its ownership interest, it would seek to ensure that the Company implements the intentions set out in its Strategic Update announced 15 June 2012 but otherwise:

  • generally continue the business of the Company;

  • raises the funds necessary to meet the Company's cash requirements;

  • subject to any legal requirements, does not make any major changes to the business of the Company nor redeploy any of the fixed assets of the Company; and

  • subject to detailed internal review of the operations and budgetary constraints of the Company, continue the employment of the Company's remaining employees.

The intentions and statements of future conduct set out above must also be read as being subject to the legal obligation of the Directors at the time to act in good faith in the best interests of the Company and for proper purposes and to have regard to the interests of the Shareholders.

The implementation of Paladin’s current intentions in relation to its ownership interest in the Company will be subject to the law (including the Corporations Act), the Listing Rules and the Company's constitution.

28

In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 20% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below.

3 Risk Factors

3.1 Introduction

This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Shares.

There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.

3.2 Risks specific to the Offer

Potential for significant dilution

Upon completion of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 1,128,736,403 to 1,379,566,715.

This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.058 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares following completion of the Offer.

Please refer to section 2.4 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Offer may impact Shareholders.

3.3 Risks specific to the Company

Uranium mining regulations

Australia

Uranium mining and exploration in Australia is governed by complex State and Federal legislations and regulations. These regulate a wide range of uranium mining activities including exploration, prospecting, development, transportation, exporting, royalties and discharge of hazardous waste and materials.

Uranium mining is a highly political issue in Australia. There can be no guarantee that government policy will remain the same in the future.

30

Namibia

Mining in Namibia is subject to regulation under the Namibian Minerals Act 1992. There are also various regulations in place in relation to the exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and rehabilitation of the environment, mine reclamation, mine safety, toxic and radioactive substances and other matters. The cost of compliance with such laws and regulations will ultimately increase the cost of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other production facilities.

There is a risk that government approvals may not be granted, or may be significantly delayed or may make the deposit uneconomic.

General

Approvals required for uranium mining are stringent and rigorous compared with other types of mining activities. Exploration approvals are required before exploration can commence and in the event uranium is discovered, further approvals including safeguard approvals for permits to possess nuclear material. Development of any mineral resources will be dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain environmental and legislative approvals to carry out its operations and its ability to meet any proposed conditions on these approvals. There is no guarantee that these approvals will be granted.

Whilst the Company intends to conduct its business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, compliance and re-compliance or in order to meet changes to the legislation or regulations can be costly and may ultimately not be viable.

Shareholders should be aware that changes of government, new legislation and changes to existing legislation and government policy may impact upon the approvals granted or seeking to be granted to the Company, the Company’s profitability and the viability of the Company’s operations.

Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s ongoing activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee 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 continue 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 fundraising 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 may 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.

Shareholders should note that the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011, and interim financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011, have been prepared on a going concern basis. However the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to meet planned and committed expenditure requirements is subject to the Company successfully exploiting the exploration assets owned by the Company and/or obtaining equity or debt capital.

31

Please refer to section 1.2 for more information on the material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity’s continuation as a going concern.

Exploration and operational risks

Mining exploration and production is inherently risky and speculative in nature. There is no guarantee that uranium or other mineral deposits will be discovered in the locations being explored by the Company. In the event that deposits are, or have been discovered, there is no guarantee that they will be in commercially viable quantities or economically profitable.

In addition, the Company’s operations and profitability will be affected by operational risks. These include geological conditions, technical difficulties, securing and maintaining tenements, weather and construction of efficient processing facilities. The operation may be affected by force majeure, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

Further, the Company may require approvals and licences necessary to conduct the exploration and mining, which may impose conditions the Company must satisfy in order to proceed with the exploration or production of the deposits. It may not be possible for the Company to satisfy these conditions.

These factors affect the Company’s ability to establish mining operations, continue with its projects, earn income from its operations and will affect the Company’s share price.

Mineral resource estimates may be inaccurate

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Fluctuation in commodity prices

The Company’s projects are predominantly focussed on uranium in Australia and uranium and iron ore in Namibia.

International factors such as inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand and political and economic events, amongst other things, impact on the price of commodities including uranium and iron ore, particularly in the current global economic market. If the price of uranium or iron ore seriously declines in the future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with its projects and the Company may be forced to discontinue some or all of its operations.

The Company gives no assurance that the fluctuations in the commodity prices will not affect the timing and viability of the projects.

Access to land

The Company will experience delays and cost overruns in the event it is unable to access the land required for its operations. This may be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder’s activities, government legislation or other factors.

32

The Company’s exploration activities are also dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance or renewal of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of tenements often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals. There is no assurance that the Company will be granted all the mining tenements for which it has applied or that licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

Environmental regulation risk

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in Australia and Namibia.

Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Government approvals and permits are required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions (including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed) and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the Company’s operations and activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in the development of new properties.

Environmental liabilities risk

The Company’s activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Land rehabilitation requirements

Although variable, depending on location and the governing authority, land rehabilitation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, as well as

33

companies with mining operations, in order to minimise long term effects of land disturbance. Rehabilitation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and to reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. In order to carry out rehabilitation obligations imposed on the Company in connection with its mineral exploration, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and/or development programs.

Government Policy and Sovereign Risk

The Company’s operations in Namibia are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange, changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, Black Economic Empowerment and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements.

The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties which cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Native Title

The High Court of Australia, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and State legislation recognise Aboriginal heritage and land rights. The risks include the following:

  • (a) the Company may have to seek permits or licences to access land the subject of an Aboriginal heritage or land right claim. There is no guarantee that any such permit or licence will be granted;

  • (b) the Company may have to comply with restrictions or conditions on accessing land the subject of an Aboriginal heritage or land right claim. This may result in the Company facing unplanned expenditure or delays. Failure to comply with any conditions on the permits may result in the Company losing its title to its tenements or forfeiting its permits;

  • (c) the Company may have to pay compensation in order to settle native title claims. It is not possible to quantify the amount of compensation which may have to be paid at this stage; and

  • (d) in the event the Company discovers evidence of Aboriginal heritage on land accessed by the Company, the Company must comply with regulations prohibiting the disturbance of physical evidence of prehistoric or historical significance without statutory permission and legislation prohibiting or restricting access to Aboriginal cultural heritage or native title land. Accordingly, delays or additional costs in the exploration or production of the Company’s business may be experienced. Further,

34

the disturbance of any such land or objects may expose the Company to additional fines or other penalties.

Metallurgical risks

The economic viability of base metal recovery depends on a number of factors such as the development of an economic process route for metal concentrates. Further, changes in mineralogy may result in inconsistent metal recovery.

Competition from Alternative Energy and Public Perception

Nuclear energy is in direct competition with other more conventional sources of energy which include gas, coal and hydro-electricity.

Furthermore, any potential growth of the nuclear power industry (with any attendant increase in the demand for uranium) beyond its current level will depend upon continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. The nuclear industry is currently subject to negative public opinion due to political, technological and environmental factors. This may have an adverse impact on the demand for uranium and increase the regulation of uranium mining.

One of the arguments in favour of nuclear energy is its lower emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of power generated compared to coal and gas. Alternative energy systems such as wind or solar also have very low levels of carbon emissions, if any, however to date these have not been efficient enough to be relied upon for large scale base load power. Technology changes may occur that make alternative energy systems more efficient and reliable.

Specific Tenure Risk

On 24 November 2011 legal proceedings were commenced in The High Court of Namibia requesting an order to be provided with documentation and an inspection of documentation held by the Minister of Mines and Energy of Namibia ( MME ) and other related government departments on the issue of 14 EPLs held by a number of different entities ( Application ). Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3496, 3668 and 3669 ( Reptile and Nova EPLs ), held by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd ( Reptile ) and its 65% owned subsidiary Nova Energy (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd ( Nova Energy ) are among the 14 EPL’s and as a result Reptile and Nova Energy are respondents to the legal proceedings brought by the applicant, Tumas Granite Close Corporation ( Tumas Granite ), a company controlled by Mr Jurgen Hoffman.

The Application was made following the refusal of MME in October 2007 to grant an application by Tumas Granite to prospect for dimension stone pursuant to Exclusive Prospecting Licence 3366 ( EPL 3366 ) on 11 May 2005 (amended in April 2008 to include the nuclear fuels minerals group and precious metals group). The Application was made to determine whether or not the MME has in fact made a decision with regard to the application for EPL 3366.

The area covered by Tumas Granite’s application for EPL3366 partly falls within the areas of the Reptile and Nova EPLs, which were granted on 6 June 2006 and 21 November 2006, respectively. The area of overlap that the application for EPL 3366 has with Reptile’s Exclusive Prospecting Licence 3496 includes part of the Omahola project deposits of Ongolo and MS7. The area of overlap that the application for EPL 3366 has with Nova Energy’s Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3668 and 3669 does not include any known targets on the Nova Energy tenements.

35

The Application is still pending. Tumas Granite has indicated it will, depending on the outcome of the Application, consider whether to take further legal proceedings in having the MME’s decision concerning the application for EPL 3366 reviewed, or to have the MME’s decision to grant the Reptile and Nova EPLs reviewed.

If Tumas Granite makes such a review application, they may seek an order declaring the grant of the Reptile and Nova EPLs to be invalid, because the application for EPL 3366 overlaps, and is inconsistent, with the Reptile and Nova EPLs.

3.4 General Risks

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 production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

Insurance coverage risk

Exploration and development operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes, changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and development is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the industry on acceptable terms. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Unforseen expenses

The Company may be subject to significant unforseen expenses or actions.

This may include unplanned operating expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future unforseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have

36

adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives however there is the risk that additional funds may be required to fund the Company’s future objectives.

Litigation risk

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company’s activities.

Share market risk

The market price of the Company’s Shares could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Company’s Shares may fluctuate based on a number of factors including the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies, the public’s reaction to the Company’s press releases, other public announcements and the Company’s filings with the various securities regulatory authorities, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector, changes in general economic conditions, the number of the Company’s Shares publicly traded and the arrival or departure of key personnel, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Company’s Shares are affected by many variables not directly related to the Company’s success and are therefore not within the Company’s control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s ability to manage its exploration and development activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

Joint venture parties, contractors and agents

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;

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or

37

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activities.

3.5 Speculative nature of investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

38

4 Additional information

4.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act ) and is subject to the regime of continuous disclosure and periodic reporting requirements. Specifically as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.

The board of Directors have adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act . The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non compliance.

4.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus

As a "disclosing entity", the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure ( ED ) securities and the securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms, a transaction specific prospectus is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the 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 enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of ASX as applicable to disclosing entities from time to time, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

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 ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information about all listed companies. The Company's file is available for inspection at ASX in Perth during normal working hours. In addition, copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, any regional office of ASIC.

In consideration for the termination of the Earnout Agreement, the Company will issue 129,333,333 Shares (each with a deemed issue price of $0.1152 per Share) and pay a cash amount of $100,000. Raptor agrees that it will enter into a voluntary escrow deed under which the Shares issued to it will be voluntarily escrowed as follows:

  • 50,000,000 Shares for a period of 24 months from the Execution Date; and  29,333,333 Shares for a period of 36 months from the Execution Date.

Raptor warrants to the Company that the issue of the Shares to Raptor will not result in Raptor’s voting power in the Company increasing to more than 20%.

(c) Paladin Loan Agreement

On 19 June 2012, the Company and Paladin entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which Paladin agreed to provide an unsecured loan of $2,000,000 to the Company ( Paladin Loan ). The Company must repay the Paladin Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the Paladin Loan and any other moneys due to Paladin under the terms of the Paladin Loan no later than 31 March 2013.

Paladin may set-off such portion of the Paladin Loan against any amount owing by the Company in respect of an application for securities under a capital raising conducted by the Company (including but not limited to participation in a placement; take up of an entitlement; or in satisfaction of an underwriting commitment).

Further, if Paladin is obliged to subscribe for Shares in the Company pursuant to any subunderwriting commitment or otherwise, the Company has agreed to repay to Paladin, immediately on demand, an amount of the loan equal to the amount paid or payable by Paladin pursuant to that sub-underwriting or other subscription commitment, but such amount not to exceed the amount outstanding.

Pursuant to the Paladin Loan, if Paladin does not provide funding of $4,000,000 pursuant to the offers under this Prospectus, it may convert all or any part of the outstanding amount under the Paladin Loan to Shares at an issue price of $0.042 up to an amount equal to $4,000,000 less the amount subscribed for by Paladin pursuant to the offers under the Prospectus. Paladin may exercise this right to convert the Paladin Loan at any time before 31 March 2013. The Company must issue the Shares the subject of the conversion notice within 3 business days after the notice is issued, unless shareholder approval to issue the Shares is required in which event the Company must seek that approval as soon as practicable and issue to Paladin the Shares the subject of the conversion within 3 business days after obtaining shareholder approval.

In addition, the Paladin Loan will become repayable immediately upon demand by Paladin if a default event occurs. Default events include, amongst other things, a failure by the Company to pay a sum owing under the Paladin Loan agreement, a breach by the Company of the terms of the Paladin Loan agreement or the Company entering into receivership, administration or winding up procedures.

49

Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Paladin Loan at the rate of 10% per annum.

Paladin is a substantial shareholder of the Company and a sub-underwriter of the Offer pursuant to the Prospectus.

The Paladin Loan was considered by the board of Directors (in the absence of Gillian Swaby, who is a Director of the Company and the company secretary of Paladin) to be made on arm’s length commercial terms.

4.5 Corporate Governance

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The board of Directors is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent that they are applicable to the Company, the board of Directors has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations .

A summary of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website at www.deepyellow.com.au

4.6 Rights Attaching to Shares

The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company.

Full details of the rights attaching to the Company’s Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

The following is a summary of the principal rights which attach to the Company’s Shares:

  • (a) 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 (except if a Shareholder has appointed 2 proxies, neither of those proxies may vote), and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every 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 the chairman of the meeting, by any five Shareholders entitled to vote on the particular resolution present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of the Shares of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution.

(b) Dividends

Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared by the Directors.

(c) Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the

50

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, where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the registration of a proper market transfer in a manner which is contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(d) Meetings and Notice

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for 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.

(e) Liquidation Rights

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

(f) Shareholder Liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(g) Alteration to the Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days' written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(h) ASX Listing Rules

If the Company is admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in the Constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the Constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

4.7 Litigation

On 24 November 2011 legal proceedings were commenced in The High Court of Namibia requesting an order for the applicant to be provided with documentation and an inspection of documentation held by the Minister of Mines and Energy of Namibia ( MME ) and other related government departments on the issue of 14 EPLs held by a number of different entities ( Application ). Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3496, 3668 and 3669 ( Reptile and Nova EPLs ), held by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Reptile

51

Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd ( Reptile ) and its 65% owned subsidiary Nova Energy (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd ( Nova Energy ) are among the 14 EPL’s and as a result Reptile and Nova Energy are respondents to the legal proceedings brought by the applicant, Tumas Granite Close Corporation ( Tumas Granite ), a company controlled by Mr Jurgen Hoffman.

The Application was made following the refusal of MME in October 2007 to grant an application by Tumas Granite to prospect for dimension stone pursuant to Exclusive Prospecting Licence 3366 ( EPL 3366 ) on 11 May 2005 (and amended in April 2008 to include the nuclear fuels minerals group and precious metals group). The Application was made to determine whether or not the MME has in fact made a decision with regard to the application for EPL 3366.

The area covered by Tumas Granite’s application for EPL3366 partly falls within the areas of the Reptile and Nova EPLs, which were granted on 6 June 2006 and 21 November 2006, respectively. The area of overlap that the application for EPL 3366 has with Reptile’s Exclusive Prospecting Licence 3496 includes part of the Omahola project deposits of Ongolo and MS7. The area of overlap that the application for EPL 3366 has with Nova Energy’s Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3668 and 3669 does not include any known targets on the Nova Energy tenements.

The Application by Tumas Granite is still pending. Tumas Granite has indicated it will, depending on the outcome of the Application, consider whether to take further legal proceedings in having the decision concerning the application for EPL 3366 reviewed or to have the MME’s decision to grant the Reptile and Nova EPLs reviewed.

Other than the above mentioned matter, as at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
