SECTION 2: DETAILS OF THE ISSUE

2.1 The Issue

By this Prospectus the Company is making a pro rata bonus issue of Bonus Options to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one Bonus Option for every two Shares held in the Company on the Record Date. The Bonus Options are being issued free of charge to Eligible Shareholders. The Bonus Options will be exercisable at $0.12 each on or before 19 December 2010.

As the Bonus Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised under the Issue. If all of the Bonus Options issued under the Issue are exercised the Company will receive approximately $2,760,000. It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Bonus Options will be used to fund ongoing exploration operations, to augment the Company’s general working capital and to provide funds for appropriate growth opportunities.

The maximum number of Bonus Options to be issued pursuant to the Issue is approximately 23,000,000 Bonus Options. If some or all of the Current Options are exercised prior to the Record Date this will impact on the maximum number of Bonus Options to be granted under the Issue.

In the calculation of Entitlements, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

2.2 Allotment and Allocation

The Bonus Options will be allotted and granted as soon as practicable after the date of this Prospectus and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules. Holding statements in relation to the Bonus Options will be despatched as soon as practicable after the date of this Prospectus.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Bonus Options. Applicants who sell any of those Bonus Options before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.

2.3 ASX Quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within seven days after the date of this Prospectus for admission to Official Quotation of the Bonus Options issued under this Prospectus.

If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation of the Bonus Options within three months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted by the Corporations Act, none of the Bonus Options will be allotted and granted (unless ASIC grants to the Company an exemption permitting the allotment and grant).

The fact that ASX may admit the Bonus Options to Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Bonus Options issued under this Prospectus.

2.4 CHESS

The Company participates in CHESS. CHESS is operated by ASTC (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX) in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will receive a statement of their holding of Shares and Options (including Bonus Options granted under this Prospectus).

==> picture [595 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

…iron’s new horizon
----- End of picture text -----

If you are broker sponsored, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement. The CHESS statement will set out the number of Bonus Options granted under this Prospectus, and provide details of your holder identification number, and the participant identification number of the sponsor.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored Subregister, your statement will be despatched by the Company’s share registry, Registries Limited, and will contain the number of Bonus Options granted to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

CHESS statements and Issuer Sponsored statements will routinely be sent out to holders of Shares and Options at the end of any calendar month during which the balances of their holdings change. Holders may request a statement at any other time, however a charge may be payable for additional statements.

2.5 Taxation

Investors should seek and rely on their own taxation advice regarding an investment in the Company as the taxation consequences will depend on the investor’s particular circumstances.

2.6 Ranking

The terms and conditions of grant of Bonus Options are set out in section 5.1 of this Prospectus. Any Shares issued on the exercise of the Bonus Options will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue. The rights attaching to Shares are referred to in section 5.2 of this Prospectus.

2.7 Non-Renounceable

Each Shareholder’s Entitlement is non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and Shareholders will be unable to dispose of their Entitlement to another party.

2.8 Withdrawal of Prospectus

The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus.

2.9 Enquiries

If you have any questions regarding the Issue, or any of the documents referred to in this Prospectus, please contact the Company by telephone on (02) 9906 7551.

SECTION 3: PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE ISSUE

3.1 Purpose of the Issue

The primary purpose of the Issue is to reward Shareholders for their loyalty to and support of the Company and to provide Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the continued growth of the Company.

As the Bonus Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised under the Issue. If all of the Bonus Options issued under the Issue are exercised the Company will receive approximately $2,760,000. It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Bonus Options will be used to fund ongoing exploration operations, to augment the Company’s general working capital and to provide funds for appropriate growth opportunities.

3.2 Effect of the Issue

The principal effect of the Issue will be to increase the number of Options on issue at the date of this Prospectus to approximately 32,270,000 Options comprising:

• (b) approximately 23,000,000 Bonus Options,

disregarding fractions and assuming that none of the Current Options is exercised prior to the Record Date.

Following completion of the Issue and after paying the expenses of the Issue, the working capital of the Company will be reduced by approximately $33,388.

3.3 Effect on Capital Structure

Disregarding fractions, assuming all Bonus Options are issued under the Issue and assuming that none of the Current Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the effect of the Issue on the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

SECTION 4: RISKS

The Bonus Options issued under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of the Company. There are numerous risk factors involved with the Company’s business. Accordingly an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.

The following is a summary of the more material risks. The list is not exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports.

4.1 Economic and Government Risks

(a) Share Market

Share market conditions may affect listed securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

• (i) general economic outlook;

• (ii) movements in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

• (iii) currency fluctuations;

• (iv) commodity prices;

• (v) changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and 6

• (vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital.

Investors should recognise that if the Bonus Options are listed on ASX, the price of the Bonus Options may fall as well as rise. Many factors will affect the price of the Bonus Options including local and international stock markets, movements in commodity prices, interest rates, economic conditions and investor sentiment generally.

(b)

Economic Factors

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market processes. The Company’s future possible revenues and share price and option price can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

• (c)

Government

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.

(d)

Commodity Prices

Commodity prices are influenced by physical and investment demand for those commodities. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence individual projects in which the Company has an interest. Specifically, changes in the price of iron ore may have an effect on the Company.

----- End of picture text -----

4.2 Business Risks

A significant risk for the Company is that the proposed exploration programmes will not result in exploration success. Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk endeavour and consequently there can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s project areas, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in discovery of an economic mineral deposit. Should a discovery be made, there is no guarantee that it will be commercially viable. While the Directors will make every effort to reduce these risks, through their experience in the exploration and mining industry, the fact remains that a commercially viable mineral discovery is very much the exception rather than the rule and success can never be guaranteed.

Mineral exploration, project development and mining by their nature contain elements of significant risk. The success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:

• (a) the discovery and / or acquisition of economically recoverable ore reserves;

• (b) successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;

• (c) access to adequate capital for project development;

• (d) design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;

• (e) securing and maintaining title to tenements;

• (f) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;

• (g) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees; and

• (h) other risks detailed in this section.

Adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues. Whether or not income will result from development of the tenements depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.

4.3 Native Title Claims and Indigenous Lands

Any native title claims which wholly or partially cover the Company’s exploration project areas may impact upon planning and implementation of future exploration programmes. The potential also exists for further native title claims to be lodged over any existing or future tenement area. Native title claims have the potential to cause significant delays to exploration.

As the Directors are not presently in a position to assess in detail the impact of native title on the Company’s planned operations, they consider the potential for native title claims to be lodged over the areas containing exploration projects to be a risk to investment.

4.4 Aboriginal Significant Sites

Commonwealth and State legislation obliges the Company to identify and protect sites of significance to Aboriginal custom and tradition. It is possible that one or more sites of significance will exist in an area of the Company’s tenements which the Company considers to be prospective. If any such sites are identified in an area of the Company’s tenements it may have the potential to halt exploration activities and impact upon the planning and implementation of future exploration programmes in circumstances where a declaration is made for the protection and preservation of the Aboriginal site or object.

4.5 Environmental Risks

Mining is an industry that has become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. The potential for liability is an ever present risk. The use and disposal of chemicals in the mining industry is under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. Exploration work will be carried out in a way that causes minimum impact on the environment. Consistent with this, it may be necessary in some cases to undertake baseline environmental studies prior to certain exploration or mining activities, so that environmental impact can be monitored, and as far as possible, minimised.

While the Company is not aware of any endangered species of fauna and flora within any of its project areas no baseline environmental studies have been undertaken to date, and discovery of such could prevent further work in certain areas.

4.6 No Valuation

No formal valuation has been completed of the exploration projects or the Shares of the Company. The Company makes no representation as to the value of the exploration assets. It is recommended that intending investors and their advisers should make their own assessment as to the value of the exploration projects.

4.7 Further Risks Specific to the Company

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

• (a) geological conditions;

• (b) alterations to programmes and budgets;

• (c) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling, metallurgical test work and production activities;

• (d) mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

• (e) unavailability of qualified personnel or equipment to undertake surveys and other geological and geophysical investigations including drilling;

• (f) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment;

• (g) prevention or restriction of access by reason of political unrest, outbreak of hostilities, and inability to obtain consents or approvals (including clearance of work programs pursuant to access agreements entered into with native title claimants); and

• (h) uninsured losses and liabilities.

SECTION 5: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO BONUS OPTIONS AND TO UNDERLYING SHARES

5.1 Terms and Conditions of Bonus Options

The Bonus Options will be granted on the following terms and conditions:

• (a) The Optionholder is entitled on payment of $0.12 per Share ( Exercise Price ) to be allotted one Share in the Company for each Option exercised (subject to possible adjustments referred to below).

• (b) The Options held by the Optionholder are exercisable in whole or in part at any time before 19 December 2010 ( Exercise Period ). Options not exercised before the expiry of the Exercise Period will lapse.

• (c) Options are exercisable by notice in writing to the Board delivered to the registered office of the Company and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds. Some or all of the Options may be exercised at any one time or times prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period provided that no less than 1,000 Options are exercised at any one time (provided that an Optionholder holding less than 1,000 Options may exercise all but not part of those Options).

• (d) The Company will apply for official quotation on ASX of the Options. The Company will also apply for official quotation on ASX of new Shares allotted on exercise of the Options. Those Shares will participate equally in all respects with existing issued ordinary shares, and in particular new Shares allotted on exercise of the Options will qualify for dividends declared after the date of their allotment.

• (e) Options are freely transferable.

• (f) An Optionholder may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of ordinary shares in the Company if the Option has been exercised and shares allotted in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Company must give prior notice to the Optionholder of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

• (g) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, the number of ordinary shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of ordinary shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

• (h) If the Company makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced according to the following formula:

A = O – E[P – (S + D)] (N + 1)

Where:

• A = the new exercise price of the Option;

• O = the old exercise price of the Option;

==> picture [595 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

…iron’s new horizon
----- End of picture text -----

E = the number of underlying ordinary shares into which one Option is exercisable;

• P = the average closing sale price per ordinary share (weighted by reference to volume) recorded on the stockmarket of ASX during the five trading days immediately preceding the ex rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises);

• S = the subscription price per ordinary share under the pro rata issue;

• D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying ordinary shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

• N = the number of ordinary shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new ordinary share

• (i) If, during the currency of the Options the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, those Options will be reorganised to the extent necessary to comply with Listing Rules.

5.2 Shares

The Shares issued on the exercise of the Bonus Options (and Current Options) will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue.

The rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution and 1 are regulated by the Corporations Act, the general law, the Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules.

The following is a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares:

(a) General Meetings

Each member is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

The Directors may convene a general meeting whenever they think fit. General meetings may also be called as requested by the Shareholders or as ordered by a court under section 249D, 249E, 249F and 249G of the Corporations Act.

A Notice of General Meeting must be given in accordance with the Corporations Act and must specify the place, date and time of the meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, information regarding a Shareholder’s right to appoint a proxy, and if a special resolution is to be proposed at the meeting, the text of the special resolution.

The quorum for a meeting of the Company’s members is three members and the quorum must be present at all times during the meeting.

(b) Voting

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares whether by the terms of their issue, the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, at a general meeting of the Company every holder of fully paid ordinary Shares present in person or by a representative has one vote on a show of hands and every such holder present in person or by a representative, proxy or

==> picture [595 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

10
----- End of picture text -----

attorney has one vote per Share on a poll. A person who holds an ordinary Share which is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the Share. A member is not entitled to vote unless all calls and other sums presently payable by the member in respect of Shares in the Company have been paid. Where there are two or more joint holders of the Share and more than one of them is present at a meeting and tenders a vote in respect of the Share (whether in person or by proxy or attorney), the Company will count only the vote cast by the member whose name appears before the other(s) in the Company’s register of members.

(c)

Issues of Further Shares

The Directors may, on behalf of the Company, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of unissued shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the times that the Directors decide. However, the Directors must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Company’s Constitution, the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights for the time being attached to the shares in special classes of shares.

(d) Variation of Rights

At present, the Company has on issue one class of Shares only, namely ordinary Shares. The rights attached to the Shares in any class may be altered only by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued Shares of the affected class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least three quarters of the issued Shares of the affected class.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, ordinary Shares are freely transferable.

The Shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with ASTC Settlement Rules, by any other method of transferring or dealing introduced by ASX and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a written instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by the Directors that is permitted by the Corporations Act. The Company may decline to register a transfer of Shares in the circumstances described in the Company’s Constitution and where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Company declines to register a transfer, the Company must, within five business days after the transfer is lodged with the Company, give the lodging party written notice of the refusal and the reasons for refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer of Shares when required by law, by the Listing Rules or by the ASTC Settlement Rules.

(f) Partly Paid Shares

The Directors may, subject to compliance with the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, issue partly paid shares upon which amounts are or may become payable at a future time(s) in satisfaction of all or part of the unpaid issue price.

(g) Dividends

The Company in general meeting may declare a dividend if the Directors have recommended a dividend, and a dividend shall not exceed the amount recommended by the Directors. The Directors may authorise the payment to the members of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the Company’s profits and for that purpose may declare such interim dividends.

11
…iron’s new horizon
----- End of picture text -----

Subject to the rights of members entitled to Shares with special rights as to dividend (if any), all dividends are apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares.

(h) Winding Up

Subject to the rights of holders of Shares with special rights in a winding up, if the Company is wound up, members (including holders of ordinary Shares) will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets of the Company in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively irrespective of the amount paid up or credited as paid up on the Shares.

(i) Dividend Plans

The members of the Company, in general meeting, may authorise the Directors to establish and maintain dividend plans under which (among other things) a member may elect that dividends payable by the Company be reinvested by way of subscription for Shares in the Company or a member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on all or some of the Shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitlement, including the issue of Shares.

(j) Directors

The Company’s Constitution states that the minimum number of directors is three.

The Shareholders may appoint and remove a Director by ordinary resolution. The Board of Directors may appoint any person to be a Director to either fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors and any Director may appoint an 1 alternate director by notice to the Company.

The Listing Rules require that the Company hold an election of Directors by ordinary resolution each year. The Directors, other than a managing director, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. However, a Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.

Under the Constitution, a Director ceases to hold office if the Director becomes bankrupt, becomes of unsound mind, becomes disqualified from being a Director, resigns, is removed, or has been absent without permission from three consecutive meetings of the Board of Directors.

Directors who have a direct or indirect material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a Directors’ meeting must not vote in respect of the matter or be present at the meeting while the matter is being considered, except as permitted by the Corporations Act.

(k) Powers of the Board

The Directors have power to manage the business of the Company and may exercise that power to the exclusion of the members, except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the Listing Rules or the Company’s Constitution.

(l)

Compliance with Listing Rules

The Constitution incorporates Appendix 15A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the following applies:

• (i) notwithstanding anything contained in the Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act shall not be done;

==> picture [595 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

12
----- End of picture text -----

• (ii) nothing contained in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;

• (iii) 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);

• (iv) if the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision;

• (v) if the Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision; and

• (vi) if any 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.
