Cleansing Prospectus Lodged for Offer of Unlisted Options

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ASX: EM2 ) (“ Eagle Mountain ” or “the Company ”) refers to its ASX announcements dated 22 March, 22 April and 6 May 2024 relating to the completion of an entitlement offer and subsequent private placement, which included the issue of 87,908,059 attaching options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Existing Options ), and the Company’s subsequent application for official quotation of the Existing Options.

As previously announced, ASX has approved quotation of the Existing Options. However, to ensure that the Existing Options issued pursuant to placement participants (which were not issued pursuant to a prospectus) are freely tradable, the Company requested trading be suspended pending lodgement of a prospectus ( Cleansing Prospectus ) with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission ( ASIC ) for an offer of new options on identical terms to the Existing Options ( New Options ).

The Company lodged the Cleansing Prospectus with ASIC on 13 May 2024. It makes an offer of 100,000 New Options at an issue price of $0.01 each, to raise up to $1,000 before costs ( Cleansing Offer ). Each New Option will have an exercise price of $0.20 and an expiry date of 5.00pm (WST) on 31 March 2027.

The Cleansing Offer is for a nominal number of New Options, and is made for the purposes of removing secondary trading restrictions from the New Options, pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Following lodgement of the Cleansing Prospectus, the Company will request that ASX lift the suspension which had been placed on the trading of the Existing Options (EM2O). It is envisaged that trading will resume on these securities on or about 16 May 2024.

This ASX announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited.

in the Company? other things) a material adverse effect on the operations,
financial position and/or reputation of the Company.
Reliance on key personnel
The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its
key management personnel, as well as other employees and
technical personnel including sub-contractors. The Company
has a small management team. The loss of the services of the
Company’s key personnel could have an adverse effect on the
Company at this early stage of development, particularly as
finding an effective replacement may be difficult.
No profit to date
The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception
Since the Company intends to conduct further exploration
activities on the Oracle Ridge and Silver Mountain Projects, the
Directors anticipate the Company making further losses in the
foreseeable future.
Tenure risks
The Company will follow the mandated processes under the
relevant Arizona and United States legislation to ensure
continuity of its mining tenure and planned activities. However,
the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, its current
mining claims (or any additional mining claims, permits or other
interests acquired by the Company in the future) if the
conditions attaching to the claim or permit are not satisfied or
if the permits are not renewed.
Access to part of the Company’s Oracle Ridge Copper Project is
subject to an industrial property lease agreement with Marble
Mountain Ventures LLC (MMV). The lease agreement provides
surface access rights over patented claims which covers areas
including the current mineral resource, the existing 5900 and
6400 mine portals, and the historic mill site. The term of the
lease automatically renews every three years until expiration of
the term on 31 January 2040.
A reversionary interest in the relevant mineral rights is held by
MMV over the relevant patented claims. The reversion is set to
occur on 18 February 2025, unless an extension option is
exercised by the Company and an extension payment in the
order of US$3 million adjusted for CPI is remitted to MMV
(Extension Option).
On exercise of the Extension Option, the Company’s interest in
the mineral rights related to the relevant patented claims will
be extended to 18 February 2040. Should the Company be
unable to raise sufficient capital or renegotiate the terms of the
reversionary interest, the mineral rights relating to the relevant
patented claims will revert to MMV.

information
Future capital requirements
The Company’s ongoing activities including repayment of its
secured debt and the exercise or renegotiation of the Extension
Option are likely to require substantial further financing in the
future. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to
Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the price
of Shares at the Prospectus Date or may involve restrictive
covenants which may limit the Company’s operations and
business strategy.
Exploration, geological and development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high
risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over
extended periods of time and may be impeded by
circumstances and factors beyond the Company’s control.
Operational and technical risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various
factors, including but not limited to failure to locate or identify
mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in
exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties
encountered in mining, mechanical failure or plant breakdown,
unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect
extraction costs, adverse weather conditions and unexpected
shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts,
plant and equipment.
Commodity price fluctuations
The Company’s potential earnings will be largely derived from
the sale of mineral commodities (including copper, gold and
silver). Accordingly, the Company’s future revenues and cash
flow will be impacted by fluctuations in the price and available
markets of these commodities.

2. Company and Business Matters

2.1 Overview of activities

The Company is an Australian public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ). The Company owns tenements comprising two copper projects in Arizona, USA, the Oracle Ridge Copper Project and the Silver Mountain Project ( Projects ).

(a) Oracle Ridge Copper Project

The Oracle Ridge Copper Project is located northeast of Tucson and 26 kilometres from BHP’s San Manuel mine, once the largest underground mine in the USA. The site is accessible by road and is supported by a nearby railway and a copper smelter in the state.

The Oracle Ridge Project is an advanced stage project containing a copper resource with gold and silver credits. Mineralisation at Oracle Ridge is skarn-hosted which is common at many porphyry deposits in Arizona. The source of the mineralisation at Oracle Ridge has not been found and it remains a key exploration opportunity.

The project benefits from 18 kilometres of existing underground development, recently refurbished, along with other supporting infrastructure such as roads, mining services and power at nearby towns.

The Company has undertaken various aspects of exploration at the Copper Ridge Project over the past years, including drilling from surface and underground, along with channel sampling of exposed mineralisation from existing tunnels. The mineral resource estimate ( MRE ) for the project has recently been upgraded with a 27% increase in contained copper at a 1% cut-off compared to the previous MRE.

  2. Refer ASX Announcement dated 21 November 2023.

(b) Silver Mountain Project

The Silver Mountain copper/gold project is located in Arizona to the northwest of Phoenix. The project area sits on the Laramide Arc, a northwest-southeast trending geological feature containing world-class porphyry copper mines such as Bagdad, Miami and Resolution. It also lies on the southern extension of a northeast-southwest prospective metallogenic belt that hosts United Verde and Iron King, two historical mines of volcanogenic massive sulphide affinity. The intersection of these two trends results in a favourable geologic setting with high complexity and potential for multiple mineralisation styles. The northern portion of the project area has a history of prospecting and mining of high-grade copper from the 1890s into the 1920s. Except for limited campaigns in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1990s, there had been no modern exploration at the

Silver Mountain Project. Commencing in 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries have been the first companies to complete modern exploration over the Silver Mountain Project area.

Recent field mapping has confirmed the presence of extensive pegmatite dykes in the Scarlett area near the Silver Dollar mine at the Silver Mountain Project. Field samples had assays in excess of four times anomalous levels with one sample showing elevated uranium and thorium of 58.4ppm and 152ppm respectively. Following the successful results of field mapping and sampling, including the discovery of pegmatites elevated in uranium and thorium, the Company has engaged Fleet Space Technologies ( Fleet ) to conduct a passive Ambient Noise Tomography ( ANT ) seismic geophysical survey across the western portion of Silver Mountain.

The Company plans to undertake further work in relation to mapping of pegmatites, petrography and the design of a drill program to find productive mineral intercepts, test the vertical extent of the mineralisation system and test downhole radioactivity.

The Company views the Silver Mountain Project as a very prospective project supported by multiple favourable geological signatures. Further field mapping is planned with the aim of defining the potential source of mineralisation outcropping at the surface.

Further information about the Projects is contained in the Company’s announcements and reports released to ASX, which are available on the Company’s website at https://eaglemountain.com.au/investor-centre/.

The information in this Section 2.1 referring to exploration results and mineral resources in respect of the Oracle Ridge Copper Project and Silver Mountain Project is taken from:

  • Large Scale Deposit Exploration Commences at Silver Mountain – see ASX announcement 29 April 2024;

  • Significant Uranium-Thorium and Rare Earth Results at Silver Mountain – see ASX announcement 13 March 2024;

  • Anomalous Uranium and Thorium Identified at Silver Mountain – see ASX announcement 29 February 2024;

  • Eagle Mountain Mining 2023 Annual Report – see ASX announcement 18 October 2023;

  • New Mineral Resource Estimate – see ASX announcement 21 November 2023; and

  • Simplified Flow Sheet – see ASX announcement 4 December 2023.

The Annual Report and announcements noted contain information relating to the reporting of exploration results, data and sampling techniques in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code.

Where the Company references previously released exploration results and the mineral resource estimate updated and released on 21 November 2023, it confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in those announcements, and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration results and the mineral resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed. In addition, the form and context in which the competent persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original reports.

3. Details of the Offer

3.1 Offer

The Offer made under this Prospectus invites the general public to subscribe for up to 100,000 New Options at an issue price of $0.01 to raise up to $1,000 before costs.

The full terms and conditions of the New Options offered under the Offer are set out in Section 6.1.

3.2

Purpose of Offer

The Company only anticipates raising a nominal sum of $1,000 (before costs) under the Offer. Accordingly, the purpose of the Offer is not to raise capital for the Company.

The Company is required to ensure that any class of its Securities which are to be quoted on ASX are not subject to the secondary trading restrictions under the Corporations Act. As the Placement Options were not issued under a prospectus or other disclosure document, those Options, and any Shares issued on exercise of those Options, would be (when trading of those Options commences) subject to secondary trading restrictions under section 707 of the Corporations Act.

Accordingly, this Prospectus has been prepared for the primary purpose of removing any secondary trading restrictions applicable to the Placement Options, being of the same class as New Options, pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

3.3 Use of funds

The Company will only raise a nominal amount under the Offer which will be applied to costs of the Offer and general working capital purposes.

3.4 Timetable

The Offer will open on 13 May 2024 and will close at 5.00pm (WST) on 14 May 2024.

The full indicative timing of the Offer is set out in the Key Information section on page 1.

The Directors reserve the right to extend the Offer Period, or to close the Offer prior to the Closing Date, subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

3.5 Quotation

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Options offered under this Prospectus, within 7 days after the Prospectus Date.

The Offer is conditional upon the New Options offered being admitted to quotation on ASX within 3 months after the Prospectus Date.

3.6 Minimum subscription

The Offer is not subject to any minimum subscription condition.

3.7 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

3.8 Management

As the Offer seeks to raise only a nominal sum, the Company has not engaged any lead manager for the Offer.

3.15 CHESS and issuer sponsorship

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System ( CHESS ), operated by ASX Settlement (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules. The Company operates an electronic issuer-sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company’s principal register of its Securities.

Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to the holders of Securities. Instead, the Company provides holders with a Holding Statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities allotted and issued to them.

This Holding Statement also advises investors of either their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) in the case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or Security Holder Reference Number ( SRN ) in the case of a holding on the issuer sponsored sub-register.

A statement is routinely sent to holders at the end of any calendar month during which their holding changes. A holder may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be incurred for additional statements.

3.16 Privacy disclosure

The Company will collect information about each Applicant from the Application Forms for the purpose of processing the Application and, if the Applicant is successful, for the purposes of administering the Applicant’s Security holding in the Company.

By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information in the Application Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement.

The Company and the Share Registry may disclose an Applicant’s personal information for purposes related to the Applicant’s investment to their agents and service providers including those listed below or as otherwise authorised under the Privacy Act:

  • the Share Registry for ongoing administration of the Company’s register;

  • the Company’s Related Bodies Corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, as well as to ASX, ASIC and other regulatory authorities (including the Australian Taxation Office); and

  • the printers and the mailing house for the purposes of preparing and distributing Holding Statements and for the handling of mail.

If an Applicant becomes a Security holder of the Company, the Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about the Security holder (name, address and details of the Securities held) in its public register. This information must remain in the Company’s register of Shareholders even if that person ceases to be a Security holder of the Company. Information contained in the Company’s register of Shareholders is also used to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications (including the Company’s financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may wish to communicate to its Security holders) and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements.

If an Applicant does not provide the information required on the Application Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process their Application.

An Applicant can request access to their personal information by writing to the Company through the Share Registry.

Notes:

  1. Options comprising:

  2. (a) 87,908,059 quoted Options, comprising the Entitlement Options and Placement Options, to commence trading pending the close of the Offer;

  3. (b) 2,600,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.52 on or before 1 July 2024; and

  4. (c) 6,000,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.55 on or before 1 July 2024.

  5. The figures in the table above assume that new Shares, Options or Performance Rights are not issued prior to the close of the Offer.

4.2 Potential dilution from New Options

The issue of New Options will not have any dilutive effect on Shareholders’ shareholding interests unless and until those Options are exercised.

Given the maximum number of New Options which may be issued under the Offer is a nominal 100,000 New Options, if and when those Options are exercised, the Offer will not have a material dilutive effect on Shareholders’ shareholding interests.

4.3 Effect on control

The issue of New Options will not have any effect on control unless and until those Options are exercised.

Given the maximum number of New Options which may be issued under the Offer is a nominal 100,000 New Options, if and when those Options are exercised, the Offer will not affect the control of the Company.

4.4

Effect on financial position

The Company will only raise up to a nominal $1,000 under the Offer, which the Company will apply towards the costs of the Offer and general working capital requirements.

5. Risk Factors

5.1 Introduction

Investors wishing to subscribe for New Options under the Offer should read this Prospectus in its entirety in order to make an informed assessment of the effect of the issue of New Options in the Company, as well as the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options and any Shares issued on exercise of those Options.

Potential Applicants should carefully consider whether New Options in the Company are an appropriate investment for them and should appreciate that the price of the Company’s Securities can fall as well as rise.

An investment in the Company’s Securities should be viewed as speculative. Potential Applicants should be aware of, and take into account, the risk factors associated with investing in the Company.

This Section 5 is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the considerations to be taken into account by potential Applicants in deciding whether or not to subscribe for New Options, nor all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. Some of these risks can be mitigated by using safeguards and appropriate systems and actions, but many are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.

There are risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. All potential Applicants should consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to any aspect of this Prospectus, the Offer or any other matter relating to an investment in the Company.

5.2 Company specific risks

The following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to the Group and an investment in the Company. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on the Company and may affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and price of its quoted Securities.

(a) Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its key management personnel, as well as other employees and technical personnel including sub-contractors. The Company has a small management team. The loss of the services of the Company’s key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company at this early stage of development, particularly as finding an effective replacement may be difficult.

(b) No profit to date

The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception. As the Company intends to conduct further exploration activities on the Oracle Ridge Project and Silver Mountain Project, the Directors anticipate the Company making further losses in the foreseeable future.

While the Directors have confidence in the future revenue-earning potential of the Company, there can be no certainty that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its operating activities.

(c) Tenure risks

Interests in exploration and mining claims and permits in Arizona are governed by the mining laws of Arizona and the United States and are evidenced by the granting of patented mining claims, unpatented mining claims and Arizona state exploration permits. Each mining claim and permit is subject to various conditions which must be complied with, including an annual property tax in respect of patented mining claims, an annual rental payment in respect of unpatented mining claims, and a specific term of grant and annual expenditure conditions in respect of Arizona state exploration permits.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ACN 621 541 204)

16

Prospectus

The Company will follow the mandated processes under the relevant Arizona and United States legislation to ensure continuity of its mining tenure and planned activities. However, the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, its current mining claims (or any additional mining claims, permits or other interests acquired by the Company in the future) if the conditions attaching to the claim or permit are not satisfied or if the permits are not renewed.

In addition, while patented and unpatented mining claims grant the holder the exclusive right to mine the claim area, Arizona state exploration permits may not provide exclusive access to the permit area as other co-existing permits or mineral leases may exist. If a commercial discovery is made on a conflicting permit or lease and the holder proposes to commence mining operations, this may result in part of the Company’s permit area being “cordoned off” which could potentially restrict the development rights of the Company in order to accommodate the development of the other resource. Whilst no permits or leases have been granted which conflict with the Company’s permits at the date of this Prospectus, there can be no assurance that conflicting permits or leases will not be granted in the future.

Access to part of the Company’s Oracle Ridge Copper Project is subject to an Industrial Property Lease agreement ( Lease Agreement ) with Marble Mountain Ventures LLC ( MMV ). The Lease Agreement provides surface access rights over patented claims which cover areas including the current mineral resource, the existing 5900 and 6400 mine portals, and the historic mill site ( Relevant Patented Claims ). The Company makes annual lease payments of approximately US$194,000 to MMV pursuant to the Lease Agreement. The lease payments are subject to annual escalation for inflation. The term of the lease automatically renews every three years until expiration of the term on 31 January 2040.

A Reversionary Interest in the Mineral Rights is held by MMV over certain of the Relevant Patented Claims. The reversion is set to occur on 18 February 2025, unless an extension option is exercised by the Company and an extension payment in the order of US$3 million adjusted for CPI is remitted to MMV ( Extension Option ).

On exercise of the Extension Option, the Company’s interest in the mineral rights related to the Relevant Patented Claims will be extended to 18 February 2040. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds to make the Extension Payment or renegotiate the terms of the reversionary interest, the mineral rights relating to the Relevant Patented Claims will revert to MMV.

(d) Future capital requirements

The Company’s ongoing activities including repayment of its secured debt and the exercise or renegotiation of the Extension Option are likely to require substantial further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the price of Shares at the Prospectus Date or may involve restrictive covenants which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, there cannot be any assurance that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations which may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities and its ability to continue as a going concern.

5.3 Industry specific risks

Mineral exploration, development and mining activities are high-risk undertakings and there can be no assurance that any exploration or development activity in regard to the Company’s current properties, or any properties that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery or exploitation of an economic resource.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ACN 621 541 204)

17

Prospectus

Mineral exploration, development and mining may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company and are speculative operations which by their nature are subject to a number of inherent risks, including the following:

(a) Exploration, geological and development risks

Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time and may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to succeed in this process involves (amongst other things):

  • discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically recoverable mineral resource or reserve;

  • access to adequate capital throughout the acquisition/discovery and project development phases of a mineral exploration project;

  • maintaining title to the Silver Mountain Project area;

  • obtaining required development consents and approvals necessary for the acquisition, exploration, development and production phases of the project; and

  • accessing the necessary experienced operational staff, the applicable financial management and recruiting skilled contractors, consultants and employees.

The exploration program determined by the Directors is based upon the Directors’ best professional assessment and estimates which have been based on limited geological information available in relation to the area of the Silver Mountain Project. There can be no assurance that the application of these funds on the forthcoming exploration program, or subsequent exploration program, will result in the realisation of the Company’s objectives such as the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable mineral resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Conclusions drawn during mineral exploration are subject to the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

By their nature, the estimates and assumptions on which the Company’s exploration program is based are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

The Company’s exploration activities are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including but not limited to:

  • geological and climatic conditions;

  • operational and technical risks;

  • changes in laws, regulations and government policy; and

  • risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations.

Whether positive income-flows result from exploration and development expenditure incurred by the Company is dependent on many factors including successful exploration, establishment of production facilities, cost control, commodity price movements, successful contract negotiations for production and stability in the local political environment.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ACN 621 541 204)

18

Prospectus

In addition, significant expenditure may be required to establish necessary metallurgical and mining processes to develop and exploit any mineral reserves identified on the Silver Mountain Project or any other project area operated by the Company in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient working capital or resources available to do this.

(b) Operational and technical risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including but not limited to:

  • failure to locate or identify mineral deposits;

  • failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining;

  • operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;

  • insufficient or unreliable infrastructure, such as power, water and transport; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment;

  • mechanical failure or plant breakdown;

  • unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;

  • adverse weather conditions (including fire and flood);

  • industrial and environmental accidents;

  • industrial disputes and labour shortages; and

  • unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

There is a risk that the Company may suffer loss upon the occurrence of any of the above factors. The Company and the Board intends to conduct activities to high standards of care and diligence.

(c) Commodity price fluctuations

The Company’s potential earnings will be largely derived from the sale of mineral commodities (including gold and base metals). Accordingly, the Company’s future revenues and cash flow will be impacted by fluctuations in the price and available markets of these commodities. Any future revenue derived through any future sales of valuable minerals exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price risks.

Commodity prices fluctuate and may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company including:

  • current and expected future supply and demand for relevant commodities in the region and globally;

  • forward-selling by producers;

  • the level of production costs in major commodity-producing regions;

  • macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation and interest rates; and

  • • the development of new technologies including any substitute products in relation to the current uses of particular commodities.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ACN 621 541 204)

19

Prospectus

Changes in commodity prices may have a positive or negative effect on the Company’s project development, plans and activities, including its ability to fund those activities. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the prices it will achieve for any mineral commodities it produces. Any substantial decline in the price of those commodities or in transport or distribution costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of its Securities.

(d) Exchange rate fluctuations

The Company’s financial statements are expressed in Australian dollars. International prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars and much of the expenditure incurred by the Company is denominated in United States dollars and Canadian dollars. This exposes the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar, Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar, subject to any currency hedging the Company may undertake. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including international markets, interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

(e)

Environmental risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations in the United States concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s proposed activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Such impact can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage, control and losses.

The potential environmental impacts of the Company’s proposed activities could be expected to require statutory approvals to be obtained by the Company. There is no guarantee that such approvals would be granted and failure to obtain any environmental approvals that may be required from relevant government or regulatory authorities may impede or prevent the Company from undertaking its planned activities. If there are environmental rehabilitation conditions attaching to the mining claims and permits of the Company, failure to meet such conditions could also lead to forfeiture of the mining claims and permits (or any additional mining claims, permits or other interests held by the Company in the future). The Company conducts its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

The Company is unable to predict the impact of any changes to environmental laws, regulations or policies that may be adopted in the future. The Company cannot guarantee that any new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not result in significant increases in the Company’s expenses and could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of its Securities.

(f) Competition

The mining and exploration industry in which the Company participates is subject to domestic and global competition. Some of the competing companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with these companies.

5.4 General investment risks

The business activities of the Company are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. There are a number of general economic and investment risk factors that apply to

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ACN 621 541 204)

20

Prospectus

companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Liquidity and volatility

There is a risk that, particularly in times of security market turbulence or negative investor sentiment, there will not be a highly liquid market for Shares or that the price of Shares may decrease considerably. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Securities on ASX at any given time and the market price may by highly volatile.

This may result in holders wishing to sell their Shares in circumstances where they may receive considerably less than the price paid under the Offer (where applicable).

(b)

General economic conditions

Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company’s future possible revenues and Securities prices can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

(c) Equity market conditions

Shares listed on a securities market, and in particular shares of small companies at earlier stages of commercial development, can experience price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. These security market conditions may affect the value of Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance.

General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(d) General changes in legislation and government policy

Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia or internationally may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and consequent returns to investors.

(e) Investment risk

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 Shares.
