  1. CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the directors of West Peak Iron Limited (Company), I am delighted to invite you to subscribe for up to 20,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise up to $4,000,000.

The Company has entered into two agreements to purchase a 90% interest in several tenements prospective for iron ore, located in the Mid-West region of Western Australia. Settlement of these agreements is conditional on the Company raising a minimum of $2,500,000 and obtaining conditional approval to list on ASX on or before 31 October 2010.

The two main projects in this group of tenements are the Santy Well Project and the Pinyalling Project.

The Santy Well Project has exposed outcrops of banded iron formation which may be of commercial interest. Rock chip samples from the iron outcrops have returned up to 61.31% Fe (with an average of 53.99% Fe) with low impurities. The Santy Well Project is located 20km west of the Tallering Range and approximately 5km north-east of the Mount Gibson Iron Limited owned Tallering Peak iron ore mine.

The Pinyalling Project includes the Thundellara Prospect which has a magnetite unit which extends for up to 7.5km. The prospect area has been sampled along 4km of strike and returned up to 40.69% Fe (with an average of 30.72% Fe). Further evaluation of the magnetite potential of the banded iron formation is required by geological mapping, surface sampling and RC drilling.

Please refer to Section 6 of this Prospectus and the Independent Geologist's Report in Section 9 of this Prospectus for further information on the Projects.

The Company intends to focus its exploration activities on iron ore primarily in Western Australia and will seek to increase its tenement position and geographical exposure in the future.

The Company intends to use the funds raised from this Prospectus primarily towards exploration for iron ore mineralisation on its granted tenements through geological mapping, surface sampling, geophysics and RC drilling.

The Board looks forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.

Yours sincerely

  1. KEY RISK FACTORS

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Directors have identified the following key risks associated with the Company and its operations. For further information in relation to the risk factors of the Company please refer to Section 7 of the Prospectus.

The risk factors set out in Section 7 of this Prospectus, and 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 highly speculative.

3.1 Exploration success

The mineral tenements in which the Company has an interest are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.

There can be no assurance that exploration of these tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, 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.

3.2 Objection to application ELA59/1620

An objection has been lodged against exploration licence application ELA59/1620 (which the Company is to acquire pursuant to the CRC Agreement) as this application overlaps a portion of two already granted licences. The applicants of ELA59/1620 (in consultation with the Company as purchaser) have entered into negotiations with the objecting party in relation to agreeing an access arrangement in respect of the overlapping tenement area but as at the date of this Prospectus no resolution has been reached.

An application for a tenement cannot be progressed until an objection has been resolved either by mutual agreement between the interested parties or by determination of the Warden Court. As such the application for ELA59/1620 may be granted with additional conditions imposed to regulate the access arrangements between the parties and there is a risk that the application for ELA59/1620 may not be granted at all.

However, the Company has only budgeted the funds to be raised from the Prospectus to granted tenements as set out in more detail in Section 4.4 of this Prospectus. As such no funds will be spent on ELA59/1620 until such time as this issue is resolved and the application granted. In the event this matter cannot be resolved to the Company's satisfaction it does not consider it to be material.


4

3.3 Contractual

The Company is party to the Tenement Agreements as summarised in Part II of the Tenement Report set out in Section 11 of this Prospectus. The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives will depend on the performance by the other parties to this contract and other contracts the Company may enter into in the future. If a party defaults in the performance of its obligations it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms.

3.4 Investment speculative

The above factors, those referred to in Section 7 of this Prospectus, and others not specifically referred to above or elsewhere in this Prospectus, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

6. COMPANY OVERVIEW

6.1 Background

West Peak Iron Limited was registered on 4 March 2010 for the primary purpose of investing in Western Australian exploration tenements prospective for iron ore and other minerals through direct tenement acquisition, joint venture partnerships and new project generation.

While the Company's primary exploration focus will be on iron ore exploration, the Company will also review the potential for economic mineralisation on the Tenements for various other commodities, including gold and base metals.

The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Offer primarily to begin a detailed work program on the granted Tenements.

Based on limited exploration results there is evidence of mineralisation on the Tenements. Given that the Tenements are largely underexplored, the Company believes a detailed work program has the potential to define further mineralisation.

A summary of each Project is set out below. Also refer to the Independent Geologist's Report in Section 9 of this Prospectus for more detailed information on the Projects.

6.2 Details of the Projects

The Company has agreed to acquire a 90% interest in the tenements forming the Santy Well Project, Pinyalling Project and Kirkalocka Project, which are prospective for iron ore.

img-1.jpeg


Refer to the material contract summaries contained in Part II of the Tenement Report set out in Section 11 of this Prospectus for further details of the Tenement Agreements.

The Company has also directly applied for seven exploration licenses on land surrounding the Santy Well Project and Pinyalling Project and a further exploration licence referred to as the Dandaraga Prospect.

Santy Well Project

Exploration licence 59/1276 is located 60km north of Mullewa, 20km west of Tallering Range and approximately 5km north-east of the Mount Gibson Iron Limited owned Tallering Peak iron ore mine. The licence was granted over 25 graticular blocks (approximately 80km²).

In addition, the Company has directly applied for two exploration licences (ELA59/1677 and ELA59/1678) directly adjacent to E59/1276.

The Santy Well Project covers poorly exposed parts of the Tallering Greenstone Belt containing felsic volcanics and volcanoclastic metasediments and includes the western extension of the lithologies hosting the Carlinga Well base metal occurrence.

The Santy Well Project has exposed outcrops of banded iron formation which may be of commercial interest. Rock chip samples from the iron outcrops have returned up to 61.31% Fe (with an average of 53.99% Fe) with low impurities.

The Santy Well Project is close to infrastructure, being approximately 160km from Geraldton with the future Oakagee railway planned to pass through the project area.

Pinyalling Project

The Pinyalling Project is comprised of two granted exploration licences (E59/1380 granted over 48.0km² and E59/1362 granted over 32.0km²), two exploration licence applications (ELA59/1620 applied over 220.8km² and ELA59/1622 applied over 44.8km²) and one prospecting licence (P59/1893).

In addition, the Company has directly applied for five exploration licences (ELA59/1681, ELA59/1682, ELA59/1692, ELA59/1693 and ELA59/1696) adjacent to the above listed tenements.

The Pinyalling Project has been grouped into three prospect areas: Thundellara Prospect (E59/1380, ELA59/1682 and P59/1893), Pinyalling South Prospect (ELA59/1620, ELA59/1622, ELA59/1681 and ELA59/1692) and Warrigidar Prospect (E59/1362, ELA59/1693 and ELA59/1696).

The Thundellara Prospect is located approximately 420km north-east of Perth, 50km west/north-west of Paynes Find and along the northern edge of the Warridar greenstone belt.

The Thundellara Prospect has a magnetite unit which extends for up to 7.5km and has been sampled along 4km of strike and returned up to 40.69% Fe (with an average of 30.72% Fe). Further evaluation of the magnetite potential of the banded iron formation is required by geological mapping, surface sampling and RC drilling.

12


The region also hosts two substantial mineral deposits: base metals at Golden Grove about 45km to the north west and gold associated with banded ironstones at Mt Gibson about 50km to the south west, and numerous smaller gold deposits. The Karara magnetite deposit, held by Gindalbie Metals Ltd, 45km to the west, is currently being developed into a mining operation.

There are also several iron prospects in the region, with the joint venture between Royal Resources Limited and Gindalbie Metals Ltd exploring for high grade hematite on targets such as the Shine, Hippo and PEGG prospects which are located approximately 25km to 50km to the west / north-west. The Thundelarra Prospect is also located within close proximity to the Royal Resources Limited owned Bismark Iron Prospect, Plateau Ironstone Prospect, Three Sisters Iron Prospect and Pinyalling Hills Iron Prospect.

Kirkalocka Project

The Kirkalocka Project includes two exploration licence applications (E59/1476 and E59/1487) covering 86 graticular blocks being approximately 275.2km².

The Kirkalocka Project is still in application with little work completed to date to assess the iron ore potential. These prospects are close to a magnetic iron ore exploration target held by Mount Magnet South NL.

The tenements comprising the Kirkalocka Project have not yet been granted and do not form part of the current exploration plans of the Company.

6.3 Project generation

The Company will consider and evaluate potential new resource based projects in Australia and overseas with a view to increasing the number of projects held by the Company and diversify into additional geographical locations. The Company has not yet determined any specific criteria for identification of these projects.

6.4 Competent persons statement

The information in this Section of the Prospectus that relates to exploration results has been compiled by Malcolm Castle and taken from the Independent Geologist's Report set out in Section 9 of this Prospectus.

  1. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company's business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Exploration

The mineral tenements of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.

There can be no assurance that exploration of these tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, 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.

(b) Operations

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

15


No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

(c) Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company's operations.

(d) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(e) Environmental

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

In this regard, the Department of Mines and Petroleum in Western Australia from time to time reviews the environmental bonds that are placed on tenements. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

(f) Title and native title

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual

16


expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.

Further to this, it is possible that an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) may be registered against one or more of the tenements in which the Company has an interest. The terms and conditions of any such ILUA may be unfavourable for, or restrictive against, the Company.

The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

(g) Objection to application ELA59/1620

An objection has been lodged against exploration licence application ELA59/1620 (which the Company is to acquire pursuant to the CRC Agreement) as this application overlaps a portion of two already granted licences. The applicants of ELA59/1620 (in consultation with the Company as purchaser) have entered into negotiations with the objecting party in relation to agreeing an access arrangement in respect of the overlapping tenement area but as at the date of this Prospectus no resolution has been reached.

An application for a tenement cannot be progressed until an objection has been resolved either by mutual agreement between the interested parties or by determination of the Warden Court. As such the application for ELA59/1620 may be granted with additional conditions imposed to regulate the access arrangements between the parties and there is a risk that the application for ELA59/1620 may not be granted at all.

However, the Company has only budgeted the funds to be raised from the Prospectus to granted tenements as set out in more detail in Section 4.4 of this Prospectus. As such no funds will be spent on ELA59/1620 until such time as this issue is resolved and the application granted. In the event this matter cannot be resolved to the Company's satisfaction it does not consider it to be material.

(h) Contractual

The Company is party to the Tenement Agreements as summarised in Part II of the Tenement Report set out in Section 11 of this Prospectus. The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives will depend on the performance by the other parties to this contract and other contracts the Company may enter into in the future. If a party defaults in the performance of its obligations it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly

17


and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms.

7.3 General risks

(a) Economic

General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, 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.

(b) Market conditions

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;
  • introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
  • interest rates and inflation rates;
  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c) Dividends

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

(d) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility

18


with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

(e) Additional requirements for capital

The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the capital raising. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(f) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

(g) Investment speculative

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

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

8.2 Management and Consultants

The Company is aware of the need to have sufficient management to properly supervise the exploration and (if successful) for the development of the projects in which the Company has an interest. As the Company's projects become more involved, the Board will continually monitor the management roles in the Company and look to appoint additional management and/or consultants when and where appropriate to ensure proper management of the Company's projects.

8.3 Corporate Governance

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices are outlined below:

Board of directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

(a) maintain and increase Shareholder value;
(b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company's conduct and activities; and
(c) ensure compliance with the Company's legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

(a) developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;
(b) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;
(c) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and
(d) identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors' participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto, the Company is committed to the following principles:

(a) the Board is to comprise Directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and
(b) the principal criterion for the appointment of new Directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.


The Company has appointed the two non-executive directors to an independent directors committee, which is responsible for the nomination committee. The nomination committee shall periodically review and consider the structure and balance of the Board and make recommendations regarding appointments, retirements and terms of office of Directors.

The Directors
West Peak Iron Ltd

Dear Sirs,

Re:

INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST'S REPORT ON
MINERAL PROPERTIES in WESTERN AUSTRALIA

I have been commissioned by West Peak Iron Ltd ("West Peak" or the "Company") to provide an independent geologist's report on the Company's projects in Western Australia ("Report") for inclusion in a prospectus prepared by the Company and dated on or about 6 August 2010 for the issue of up to 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to $4,000,000 ("Prospectus").

The Properties

The West Peak holdings cover three project areas at Santy Well (Granted E59/1276, Applications E59/1677 and E59/1678 over approximately 236 km²), Pinyalling (Granted E59/1380, E59/1362, P59/1893, Applications E59/1620, E59/1622, E59/1681, E59/1682, E59/1692, E59/1693 and E59/1696 over approximately 681 km²) and Kirkalocka (Applications E59/1476 and E59/1487, over approximately 275 km²) ("the Projects") as well as the Dandaraga prospect (Application E57/839).

The Project areas cover outcrops of banded iron formation similar to the host rocks of the Karara deposit and the Tallering Iron Mine and are considered to be prospective for iron ore (magnetite and hematite), gold and base metal mineralisation.

Details in respect to the legal status and tenure of the tenements comprising the Projects have not

MID-WEST IRON ORE PROVINCE

The Mid-West region of Western Australia is rapidly becoming a new iron ore province. An increasing number of Mid-West focussed juniors are developing niche small-scale operations for export from the planned Oakajee Port.

Once operations are ramped up the Mid-West region is expected to ship over 90Mtpa of iron ore products by 2015. The West Peak iron ore projects are well placed to mine and transport products to Oakajee if resources can be established.

Page


INFRASTRUCTURE

Historically, lower iron ore prices have necessitated the discovery of multi-billion tonne resources to warrant the significant infrastructure commitment required for commercialisation of large-scale iron ore operations. This has been to the detriment of areas such as the Mid-West where significant resources exist, but not of the same dimension as those of the Pilbara. Deposits such as Koolanooka and Mungada were previously 'high-graded' in the 1960's, however were largely forgotten with the discovery of iron ore in the Pilbara.

Proposed infrastructure including the new Northern Standard Gauge Railway and the new deepwater Port at Oakajee is predicted to be available from 2011 and 2014 respectively.

Geraldton Iron Ore Alliance

The Geraldton Iron Ore Alliance was formed in 2005 to take a co-ordinated approach to the development of common access infrastructure in the Mid-West region. Seven companies with projects residing in the Mid-West are members of the alliance. The major areas of interest for the alliance include the existing Narrow Gauge railway, the Port of Geraldton upgrade, the development of a new deepwater port at Oakajee, the construction of a new northern railway and presenting a united front against the recent environmental issues.

Oakajee Port and Rail (OPR)

A proposed deepwater port at Oakajee, 25km north of Geraldton, is back on the WA State Government agenda after being mothballed in the late 1990's. The existing Port of Geraldton was deepened in 2003 to allow larger Panamax class vessels to berth. However, competing demands from iron ore, mineral sands, grain, base metal concentrate and talc mean that the port is straining to cope with the demand despite its best endeavours.

Oakajee Port and Rail was established in September 2007 to pursue a joint venture between Murchison Metals Ltd and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd, each of which has a 50 per cent economic interest in OPR.

Oakajee Port and Rail is the developer of the Oakajee deepwater port and rail infrastructure project. The Oakajee project will deliver an integrated, open access, bulk commodity supply chain to transport iron ore from Western Australia's Mid-West region onto ships for delivery to customers in the Asia Pacific region. The project will deliver iron ore from mines across the Mid-West region to international markets via a modern rail system and new deepwater port at Oakajee; underpin the broader development of the Mid-West region and overcome constraints at Geraldton port on export capacity and ability to accommodate larger Cape Class vessels.

The Oakajee project represents a unique investment partnership between an independent infrastructure provider, the private sector, international partners and government.

The project comprises a deepwater port 25km north of Geraldton in Western Australia, linked to

28 | Page


regional mines by approximately 570km of heavy haulage rail. It includes spur lines to the Jack Hills and Weld Range projects and a short spur to allow a connection to the southern mines.

The port will have an initial, start-up capacity of approximately 45 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), with plans for expansion in stages. The planned initial capacity was increased in early 2010 from 35mpta following strong interest from miners. The open access rail network will be scalable to allow operations up to 80-100mtpa.

The project is tracking toward financial close and project go ahead in early 2011. Commencement of commercial operations is expected in early 2014.

Narrow Gauge (NG) Railway

The line is operated by WestNet. It has the potential for 12-14 trains per day, with 64-90 wagons per train (16t axle loads), the railway has sufficient capacity (14Mtpa) to provide for all expected use until Northern Standard Gauge Railway comes online in 2011.

SANTY WELL PROJECT

Exploration licence 59/1276 is located 60km north of Mullewa and 20km west of Tallering Range. The licence was granted over 25 graticular blocks (approximately $80\mathrm{km}^2$ ). It occurs on the north-west corner of the Yalgoo 1:250,000 sheet and Tallering 1:100,000 sheet. Exploration license applications E59/1677 and E59/1678 are located directly adjacent to tenement E59/1276 and were applied for on $9^{\text{th}}$ April 2010 and cover 35 and 14 graticular blocks respectively (approximately $156\mathrm{km}^2$ ).

The tenements cover poorly exposed parts of the Tallering Greenstone Belt containing felsic volcanics and volcanoclastic metasediments and includes the western extension of the lithologies hosting the Carlinga Well base metal occurrence. The licence E59/1276 was granted on 21 Nov 2007 while E59/1677 and E59/1678 remain in application.

TENEMENT APPLICATION DATE GRANT DATE EXPIRY DATE AREA (BLOCKS) AREA HECTARES (HA)

E59/1677 09/04/10 - - 35 -
E59/1678 09/04/10 - - 15 -

The Santy Well Project is close to infrastructure, being approximately 160km from Geraldton with the future Oakagee railway planned to pass through the project area.

GEOLOGY

The prospect lies in the Tallering Greenstone Belt, on the western edge of the Murchison province. The north-east trending belt measures about $100 \times 15 \mathrm{~km}$ and contains the regionally extensive Gabanintha and Windanning Formations. The Gabanintha Formation is by far the most extensive unit and contains a mixture of tholeiitic and high magnesian basalts, felsic volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks and sediments. The overlaying Windaning Formation is areally restricted to the Tallering Range area and contains abundant jaspilite, banded iron and grey-white cherts interlayed with felsic volcanics, volcanoclastic sediments and minor basalts. The Windaning Formation forms prominent ridges and hills. The greenstone belt forms a synclinorial structure with some recumbent folding along the southern margin.

Multiple swarms of dolerite dykes, oriented NW, NNW, N, NNE, NE, ENE and E are interpreted from aeromagnetic data, and form a neural-like network over the whole belt, effectively limiting the usefulness of the aeromagnetic data. There is little outcrop on the prospect, most of the prospect being covered by shallow alluvium or deep soils.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

The first detailed exploration in the area was undertaken by E.Z. Industries (EZ), between 1973 and 1980. This poorly reported work included aeromagnetics, ground magnetics and RAB drilling of magnetic targets. One target (Number 9 or Santy South) within the current granted tenement was tested by 5 percussion holes. These penetrated thick clays possibly over gabbro. Bottom-of-hole samples contained weakly anomalous Cu, but not Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, or Fe. Prussag reported that EZ thought the magnetic anomaly drilled reflected massive pyrrhotite.

North Broken Hill Ltd (NBH) and Preussag Australia Pty Ltd (PAPL or Preussag) (1981 to 1984)

Between 1981 and 1982, NBH explored an extensive area including the current tenements, using aeromagnetics and extensive rockchip sampling. Three areas of gold and base metal interest were identified. Preussag farmed into the NBH area and continued exploring between 1982 and 1984. 697 regional rockchip samples were taken by NBH and Preussag and assayed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au and sometimes Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Bi, Te, W, Sn and Mo. This work located four areas of potential within the current granted tenement: Watkins, Santy, Santy East and Santy South and one, Nightjar, SW of the current granted tenement.

Page


The soil geochemistry extended over an area of 600 x 1000m on 50 x 50m, 20 x 20m or 10 x 10m patterns. Samples were assayed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Mn, Fe, and Au (ppb DL). A number of discontinuous, low level Au (>10ppb), Cu (>100ppm) and Pb (>50ppm) anomalies were located. One anomaly (20x40m, >20ppb Au) was found to overly a zone of quartz stock-work in schist. Mapping of this zone indicated four phases of vein generation with only the E-W set containing gold. Four percussion holes (TPD 26-29, totaling 93m) were drilled across this zone but intersected only weak anomalous of 90-125ppm Zn and 95-300ppm Pb.

The Santy prospect contains lithologies of locally pyritic quartz-feldspar porphyries, rhyolite and schist. Ground magnetics identified a 40m wide low associated with hydrothermal alteration. Four holes, drilled to test this area, returned only weakly anomalous Cu (<120ppm).

At Santy East, follow-up work included detailed mapping over $1.3\mathrm{km}^2$ , 107 chip samples and 56 shallow percussion holes (TPD31 to 86). The rocks are mainly acid to intermediate flows, tufts and intrusives with minor banded cherts and basic rocks. Pyrite and arsenopyrite were noted in quartz feldspar porphyry and tufts. Au, Cu, W and Ag are all highly anomalous in a range of these rocks. Au values varied between 0.3 and $78~\mathrm{g / t}$ and were frequently above $1\mathrm{g / t}$ . Thirty chip samples from a quartz vein about $100\mathrm{m}$ long and 0.5 to $1.2\mathrm{m}$ wide returned values up to $7.0\%$ Cu, $60.0\%$ W and $14.8\mathrm{ppm}$ Au. A sample from another quartz vein returned 580ppm Ag. These results were the highest values amongst lower samples and do not represent the average grade. The current status of the prospect is not known.

The 56 shallow percussion holes were drilled on five irregularly oriented lines to test sheeted vein and stockwork targets. These intersected mainly porphyries and rhyolite containing numerous quartz veins. $222 \times 3\mathrm{m}$ drill samples returned up to 2050ppm Cu, 940ppm Zn, 0.83ppm Au and $3.39\%$ W, with anomalous values of Sb, Mo, and Sn. These results were the highest values amongst lower samples and do not represent the average grade. The current status of the prospect is not known.

Watkins, Santy and Santy East prospects all returned mineralized surface samples and weak mineralization at depth in the areas drilled. Results suggest a degree of surface enrichment but drilling has not been extensive and peripheral areas have not been tested.

At the Santy South aeromagnetic anomaly, Preussag collected rockchip samples which assayed 130 - 8600ppm Cu, 115 - 1200ppm Pb, 120 - 170ppm Zn, 10 - 28ppm Sn and 0.5-38.6ppm Au. Old EZ drill cuttings assayed only low metal values but samples from outcrops 600m south of here assayed 130 - 740ppm Cu and 120 - 170ppm Zn. These results are the range of values and do not represent the average grade. The current status of the prospect is not known. Preussag followed up by drilling 13 inclined holes, 10m apart to 23m depth, 50m south of the EZ holes. Sericitic schists containing scattered quartz veins was the principal rock type intersected and these contained marginally anomalous Cu, Pb and Zn.

Roebuck Resources NL (Roebuck) and CRA Ltd (CRA) (1986 to 1996)

Roebuck explored the region between 1986 and 1990 after farming in on a number of exploration licenses held by Kulim. Reported work included limited and scattered rockchip, drainage and soil

sampling. CRA farmed into various parts of Roebuck's ground and explored between 1986 and 1996. Work by CRA in the area of the current tenements included regional aeromagnetics, Turam geophysics, and irregular regional lag and drainage sampling. Parts of the aeromagnetics and lag sampling have been recovered but in general the reporting and detail are very poor.

CRA drilled 77 RAB holes (2664m) in the area of Santy Well, east of the Santy South prospect. Four lines were drilled across a structural target oriented NE-SW and passing through Santy Well. Four lag samples in this area returned anomalous gold values. All lines encountered weak gold anomalous (0.01 to 0.07ppm) and non co-incident 'copper anomalous'.

Recent Work Completed

The prime area of interest for more recent exploration is within the North Central portion of the current granted tenement where a weathered lateritic profile exists which has exposed outcrops of Iron (hematite and Banded Iron Formation) which may be of commercial interest. The Tallering Iron Mine (Mt Gibson Mining) and the Tallering Royal Iron Deposit lie approximately 5km to the southwest of the Santy Well Prospect (E59/1276).

Rock chip samples have been acquired from outcropping banded iron formation. The 22 rock chip samples ranged from $43.24\%$ Fe to $61.31\%$ Fe with an average of $53.99\%$ Fe (Table 1). Eight samples returned over $57\%$ Fe with demonstrated potential for hematite ore zones. Anomalous levels of Manganese, Titanium and Vanadium were present. Silica, phosphorus and sulphur levels were low.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Rock chip sampling by NBH/Preussag has located three discrete areas of gold anomalous at Watkins, Santy and Santy South. These areas have been tested by mapping, limited, but intensive soil geochemistry, and limited shallow percussion drilling. Drilling failed to locate mineralization at shallow depths below anomalous which was generally ascribed to surface enrichment. However mapping suggests the gold anomalous is associated with quartz veins in zones of hydrothermal alteration in felsic volcanic rocks. Strong tungsten anomalous at Watkins and Santy prospects and elevated tin values elsewhere confirms felsic volcanic or shallow granitic intrusion.

The gold potential has only been superficially tested by previous explorers whereas the gold and base metal anomalous, alteration, and geology all justify further exploration.

The work by Roebuck/CRA comprised variably spaced (1-2km) lag sampling over much of the project and limited soil sampling and RAB drilling in the extreme south. Three areas of gold anomalous were located by the lag sampling. Only the anomaly in the area of Santy Well was followed up with further work.

Eight km east of E59/1276, Newcrest are currently exploring the Carlinga Well volcanogenic base metal prospect. Previous exploration by EZ, Preussag and later WMC, located a gossanous scree containing up to 0.148% Cu, 1.6% Pb and 0.625% Zn developed over an altered volcanoclastic unit containing up to 5% disseminated pyrite and minor sphalerite and galena. Later drilling by WMC produced a best intercept of 3m @ 4.4% Cu. These results were the highest values amongst lower intercepts and do not represent the average grade. The current status of the prospect is not known.

Within E59/1276 large areas of cover are likely to be underlain by quartz-mica schists, which may reflect metamorphosed proximal volcanoclastic sediments and may host massive or disseminated base metal sulphide deposits.

The area shows clear indications of iron ore mineralisation and recent rock chip sampling with 22 sampled returned values on the range 43.24% Fe to 61.31% Fe with an average of 53.99% Fe. P2O5 was in the range 0.05 to 0.238% with an average of 0.1% P2O5. SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ were low in most samples (Table 1).

EXPLORATION PROGRAM – E59/1276

An initial exploration program on the granted tenement should consist of the collation of all available data. This should be followed by geological mapping including further rock chip sampling to further define the potential of hematite mineralisation at surface. Ground based geophysics including magnetic and gravity is proposed to assist in defining mineralised structures at Santy Well.

Following the initial exploration work, RC drilling is recommended to test grade and volume of surface hematite mineralisation at depth. Exploration in the second year is largely subject to the outcome of activities in the first year, however it is expected to primarily consist of deeper and infill RC drilling at Santy Well and sampling / assaying.

The budget set out below is based on the Company raising only the minimum subscription amount under the Prospectus (being $2,500,000). If the Company raises more than this amount additional funds should be allocated to RC drilling and sampling / assaying in the second year. If the maximum amount of $4,000,000 is raised expenditure in the second year for RC drilling, sampling and assaying should increase to $375,000 and $150,000 respectively.

PINYALLING PROJECT

The Pinyalling Project includes two granted exploration licenses (E59/1380, 48 km² and E59/1362, 32.0 km²) and seven applications for exploration licenses (E59/1620, 220 km², E59/1622, 44 km², E59/1681, 60 km², E59/1682, 147 km², E59/1692, 19 km², E59/1693, 102 km² and E59/1696, 9 km²) and one granted prospecting licence (P59/1893). The Pinyalling Project has been grouped into three prospect areas, including the Thundellara, Pinyalling South and the Warrigidar prospects.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The tenements occur on the northern edge of the easterly trending Warridar Greenstone belt, which contains fine grained basaltic, felsic volcanic rocks, gabbros and interlayered banded iron stones and sediments. Metamorphic grade is largely high greenschist to magnetic facies demonstrated by and alusite developing in magnetic sedimentary rocks.

Deep weathering, particularly in the west along the Mongers Lake Palaeochannel, is extensive and there is a widespread cover of residual and transported soils. The Mongers Lake Palaeochannel trends NNE and is underlain by the regional Fields Find (Monger) shear. A similarly oriented shear (Eastern shear zone) was interpreted by RGC Exploration (RGC) 10km to the east. Between these the stratigraphy is disrupted by a series of north west trending faults.

The region hosts two substantial mineral deposits: gold associated with banded ironstones at Mt Gibson about 50km to the south west and basemetals at Golden Grove about 45km to the north west. The region also hosts other iron exploration targets, being the Plateau Ironstone project held by Royal Resources Ltd (Royal) and Warriedar iron projects held by Gindalbie Metals Ltd (Gindalbie) and Royal (Gindalbie/Royal). Gold mineralization in the belt is associated pyritic alteration of intensely folded and brecciated banded ironstones (Browns Reward and Pinyalling area), with quartz veining in felsic and mafic rocks or quartz-tourmaline veining and stockworks (Tobins). The Karara magnetite deposit, held by Gindalbie Metals Ltd, 45km to the west, is currently being developed into a mining operation.

There are also several iron prospects in the area, with Royal/Gindalbie joint venture exploring for high grade hematite on targets such as the Shine, Hippo and PEGG prospects which are located approximately 25km to 50km to the west / north-west. These prospects occur on the greenstone belt that also hosts the Karara deposit. The exploration is focused on high grade hematite material at these prospects.

The Thundelarra tenements are located within close proximity to the Royal Resources Bismark Iron Prospect, Plateau Ironstone prospect, Three Sisters and Pinyalling Hills iron prospects.

The Karara Iron Deposit

The Karara iron deposit is located in the Murchison Region of Western Australia, 500 km northeast of Perth and 220km east of the Indian Ocean Port of Geraldton.

The deposit is hosted within an Archaean magnetite-rich BIF (Banded Iron Formation) unit over a strike length of $3.2\mathrm{km}$ , a width of between $400 - 600\mathrm{m}$ and to a depth of $300\mathrm{m}$ below surface.

In addition to the low grade magnetite resource, the Karara deposit includes a high grade hematite resource occurring as smaller areas of structurally controlled supergene martite-goethite enrichment of the BIF. These areas of enrichment occur over a strike length of 8km with a further 50 km of highly prospective strike extension. The known resources include the Mungada deposits.

The Karara magnetite deposit is amenable to upgrading to high grade magnetite pellets.

The hematite resource will provide the base for Phase 1 of the operation. It will be trucked 85 km on existing haul roads to the rail head at Morawa and freighted to the port of Geraldton while construction of the magnetite concentrator, pipeline, pellet plant and dedicated port facilities are under construction prior to Phase 2, exploitation of the magnetite resource.

WARRIGIDAR PROSPECT – E59/1362, E59/1696 AND E59/1693

The Warrigidar prospect consists of E59/1362, granted on the 1 October 2007 and two applications being E59/1696 and E59/1693 both located about 420km north east of Perth, 50km west north west of Paynes Find and along the north-eastern edge of the Warridar Greenstone belt.

LOCAL GEOLOGY

There are also several iron prospects in the area, with Royal/Gindalbie joint venture exploring for high grade hematite on targets such as the Shine, Hippo and PEGG prospects which are located approximately 25km to 50km to the west / north-west. The exploration activities by the Royal/Gindalbie joint venture are focused on high grade hematite material.

Royal has explored for channel iron at the Plateau Ironstone prospect which is approximately 5km to the south of application E59/1693. Exploration results from the Plateau Ironstone prospects indicate potential for hematite material in the top five to ten metres over an area of 1.0 square kilometre.

MINERALIZATION – E59/1362

Modern gold exploration commenced in the mid eighties. By 1996 a gold resource was reported at the Baron Rothschild prospect. This gold mineralization is related to intense pyrite-pyrrhotite replacement of banded iron formation units which are found within a sequence of mafic, ultramafic and felsic rocks.

In 1998 exploration indicated that the Pinyalling area also hosted PGE mineralization (Platinum Group Elements). In 1999 Thundelarra became a major regional explorer. Encouraging PGE values were intersected at the Dauphin prospect just 1km northwest of Baron Rothschild. Subsequent sampling, mapping and drilling defined a PGE mineralized horizon which can be traced almost continuously over an 8 km strike length. The geology is not yet well understood but the PGE horizon occurs within gabbro adjacent to the pyroxenite gabbro contact. There are similarities with the Ferguson Reef at the large Munni Munni Complex in the Pilbara.

EXPLORATION PROGRAM – WARRIEDAR PROSPECT E59/1362

An initial exploration program on the granted tenement should consist of the collation of all available historical exploration data. This should be followed by geological mapping, rock chip sampling to define the potential of high grade iron ore. Ground based geophysics is proposed to assist in defining mineralised structures at Warriedar. Limited RC drilling may be required as a first pass of any targets identified through the geological mapping and rock chip sampling program in the first year.

Exploration in the second year is largely subject to the outcome of activities in the first year, however it is expected to primarily consist of further RC drilling and sampling / assaying.

The budget set out below is based on the Company raising only the minimum subscription amount under the Prospectus (being $2,500,000). If the Company raises more than this amount additional funds should be allocated to RC drilling and sampling / assaying in the second year. If the maximum amount of $4,000,000 is raised expenditure in the second year for RC drilling and sampling / assaying should increase to $175,000 and $55,000 respectively.

The historical Pinyalling Mining Centre lies immediately north of the prospect and includes the Fields Find, Plataeu Ironstone and the Baron prospects which are presently actively explored by Royal Resources Ltd.

These licenses are about 400km northeast of Perth and can be accessed via the Great Northern Highway from Perth to the Paynes Find-Yalgoo road. This road gives access to the Pinyalling Mining


Centre, about 30km west of Paynes Find. Good station and old mining tracks cover most of the licences.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

Little exploration has been conducted in the past on the ground now covered by the Pinyalling South Prospect tenements. Almost all activities in the region were concentrated on the known greenstone belts which hosted a number of gold deposits and BIFs in the area prospective for iron ore.

In 1990 Capricorn Resources installed a grid over hitherto unknown supracrustal rock sequences to explore for gold and base metals. They named this the "Nangajetty Well Grid". An east-west baseline of 5.6 km was cut, with fifteen 400 metre spaced cross lines ranging in length from 2.5 to 4 km. Most of these grid lines are currently overgrown. The current holders have opened up a portion of the baseline and several of these gridlines have been sampled for gold, platinoids, base metals and most recently iron ore.

Initial work by Capricorn included the acquisition of detailed airborne magnetic data and Landsat TM data. Lineament analysis was carried out resulting into the outlining of several fracture sets in various directions. One of the most prominent sets, which trends in a northeast to east-northeast direction, is known to be associated with gold mineralization at the old Pinyalling Find workings. This direction represents in some cases also a granite/greenstone contact and also defines major drainage patterns in the region.

After the discovery of poorly outcropping greenstone lithologies in the Nangagetty Well area, a soil sampling program was carried out over most of what is now E59/1622. Samples were taken at 100m sample spacing and 400m line spacing. One broad low-level gold anomaly with a peak value of 26ppb was outlined.

Samples were also analyzed for copper, zinc and arsenic. It was observed that copper greater than 50ppm almost exactly defined the extent of mapped lit-par-lit amphibolites and granite. The usefulness of some of this soil sampling has to be questioned as in some areas the soils are clearly transported.

The present tenement holders conducted another soil sampling program in 2000. The area sampled was centred around the 26ppb gold anomaly outlined by Capricorn. Line spacing was 100m and sample spacing was 50m. A total of 121 samples were collected and analyzed for 11 elements including Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, Cu and Zn.

Several gold anomalous areas were outlined with a maximum value of 45ppb gold. These anomalies are concentrated in the same area as the one outlined by Capricorn. The gold anomaly was confirmed by cyanide leaching of selective samples. Some samples were also anomalous in PGE as well with soil P30P returning 20ppb palladium. These results were the highest values and do not represent the average grade. The current status of the prospect is not known.

Copper values greater than 100ppm (maximum 166ppm), zinc (maximum 81ppm) and especially

40 | Page


nickel (maximum 466ppm) point to the presence of greenstone lithologies. The PGE and nickel anomalous values indicate ultramafic rock types.

Recent work completed by the Company included processing of open file magnetic and topographical data and a field trip during 2010. The processing of magnetic data was used to overlay the soil sampling results on E59/1622 to highlight target areas for magnetic mineralisation.

The eastern portion of E59/1620 contains a magnetic high over a known BIF and presents an area of interest once this tenement is granted.

The recent field trip to visit the magnetic anomalies on E59/1692 confirmed a low BIF hill on the tenement. The BIF is trending roughly N-S but variable and is dipping east. Fully oxidised hematite-Fe carbonate-silica was located. Some areas have low silica iron which represents a potential hematite target, while with low tonnage potential (<10metres width) warrants further investigation once the tenement is granted.

The recent 2010 field trip to visit the magnetic anomalies on E59/1681, confirmed a BIF hill on the tenement. E59/1681 has a broad BIF which is N-S trending, steep E to vertical dip, siliceous, possibly quite thick (>20m), strong fabric (bedding and schistosity). The BIF outcrops for approximately 2km, however the magnetic high runs through the tenement for another 4km to the south. Complexly folded BIF (possible north verging fold axis), comprising silica, hematite, goethite and iron carbonate. There was minor subcrop of ultramafic or high Mg basalt on lower flanks of hill. BIF appears to be fairly low Fe overall (highly variable) and represents a magnetite target. Outcrop of roughly 20m x 50m, however the true width of BIF is difficult to determine (<20m). Further mapping and rock chip sampling is required to review the potential of the iron ore mineralisation on E59/1681 once it has been granted.

Iron ore potential on E59/1622 was reviewed through a rock chip sample program (Table 2). Eighteen samples were taken from in situ outcrops from an area over 4 contiguous grid lines (544930E to 543730E) and one grid line approximately 1200m further to the west (542955E). The results ranged from 6.33% Fe to 59.94% Fe with an average of 27.57% Fe. The assay results gave 10 high Fe readings, with two samples above 56% Fe. From the ten significant samples, results ranged from 28.69% Fe to 59.94% Fe.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Work by Capricorn and others using Remote Sensing technology strongly indicated the presence of greenstones on E59/1622. The validity of this indication was confirmed by follow-up mapping and the anomalous geochemistry of the soil sampling. Nearby greenstone lithologies host substantial iron ore, gold, PGE and also base metals mineralization. The recent field trip by the Company has identified additional areas of surface iron ore mineralisation over magnetic highs in addition to the presence of BIFs on the tenements. Further geological mapping, systematic rock chip sampling and RC Drilling of the BIFs and iron outcrops is required to determine the hematite and magnetite potential within these tenements. The project area is on the Yalgoo Graded Shire Road in close proximity to the Gindalbie/Ansteel Karara Iron Project and the Royal Resources Bismark Iron Prospect, Three Sisters and Pinyalling Hills iron prospects.

No funds have been allocated for exploration on these exploration licence applications as they are not yet granted.

THUNDELARRA PROSPECT – E59/1380, E59/1682 AND P59/1893

The Thundelarra Prospect consists of E59/1380, granted on the 6 August 2009, E59/1682 and P59/1893, granted 8 April 2010 located about 420km north east of Perth, 50km west north west of Paynes Find and along the northern edge of the Warridar Greenstone belt. E59/1682 was applied for on 22 April 2010 and remains in application.

The region hosts two substantial mineral deposits: base metals at Golden Grove about 45km to the north west and gold associated with banded ironstones at Mt Gibson about 65km to the south west, and numerous smaller gold deposits. The Karara magnetite deposit, held by Gindalbie Metals Ltd, 45km to the west, is currently being developed into a mining operation.

The Thundelarra tenements are located within close proximity to the Royal Resources Bismark Iron Prospect, Plateau Ironstone prospect, Three Sisters and Pinyalling Hills iron prospects.

PAST EXPLORATION

Samantha Gold

Samantha explored the western part of the current granted tenements for gold between 1989 and 1993 as a part of a farmin agreement into ground held by Gold Partners in the Fields Find area. The western end of the current granted tenements was covered with 400x100m lag sampling as a part of a much larger survey, with samples analysed in the Samantha Kalgoorlie laboratory for low level gold. A cluster of elevated and possibly anomalous values occur over a granite/metagabbro contact on the southern edge of the current granted tenements and a single-point anomalous value (33ppb) on the eastern edge of the area surveyed. The Mt Monger fault and deformation corridor below the Monger salt lake was further tested by shallow aircore holes and located a cluster of three weakly anomalous gold values (to 16ppb) on the western side of the current granted tenements.

RGC Exploration (RGC)

RGC explored the eastern side of the current granted tenements between 1989 and 1998 as a part of a much larger ground holding. Exploration on the current ground included aeromagnetic interpretation and lag sampling (1-12mm). Lag samples were collected on a rough 250x250 triangular grid pattern. Samples were assayed for gold (5ppb) and a variable range of other elements including Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Co, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Ca, K, Sr, and Mn. The geochemical data or the presentation thereof, shows numerous inconsistencies which raises questions as to its integrity. For example, variable detection limits for silver, arsenic, barium and bismuth and blocks of high arsenic values.

Eight geochemical anomalies, characterized by an Au-As-Sb-W association, were identified to the south and south west of the current granted tenements. Two clusters of very anomalous gold values were also found within the current granted tenements and several high values elsewhere.

The northern cluster on the current ground consists of five values including 272, 209, 91, 77 and 41ppb gold and mildly elevated arsenic (40-65ppm) and occurs on an RGC interpreted east trending structure and close to the contact of gabbro and basalt. The second cluster, to the south, consists of four samples including 335, 25, 23, and 11ppb gold with arsenic to 75ppm. These samples are aligned along the gabbro/greenstone contact suggesting the possibility of a fluid pathway along the contact. No follow up work has been reported for these anomalous clusters.

Recent Exploration

An obvious feature is the north-south trending, slightly arcuate, magnetic high which field reconnaissance shows coincides with an outcropping banded iron formation. 217 4kg rockchip samples over a 4km strike distance were taken and analysed for iron and associated impurities by Genalysis Laboratories using XRF after total preparation. The sample coordinates and results are shown in Table 3 below. The results show a range of 8.78% Fe to 40.69% Fe with an average of 30.72% Fe. The average grade of the BIF is below that for the Karara magnetite deposit (35.9% Fe) being developed by Gindalbie Metals Ltd.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Gold Potential

Exploration by Samantha in the west of the current granted tenements has drilled elevated gold values in lag samples along the Fields Find shear without encouragement. In the east lag sampling by RGC, has located two clusters of anomalous gold values to 335ppb, in favourable structural settings and which appear not to have been followed up.

Further geochemistry in this area is justified, extending the coverage further east along the Eastern Shear and to gaps in the coverage left by RGC. RAB or air core drilling across the surface gold anomalies is also justified.

The western part of the current granted tenements, along the Fields Find shear, appears to have been adequately tested for gold by lag sampling and aircore drilling to the lower saprolite zone.

Results show scattered gold values to a maximum of 147ppb. In the east lag sampling by RGC has located two clusters of anomalous gold which do not appear to have been followed up, possibly because of more coherent and multi-element anomalies elsewhere in the RGC ground held at the time. The two anomalous clusters also occur over interpreted contacts or shear zones and are adjacent to the major Eastern Shear zone interpreted by RGC. These are favourable structural locations for gold mineralization. RGC also only sampled where regolith was interpreted to be residual leaving substantial gaps in the sampling coverage. East of the RGC sampling, basalts are interpreted to underlie magnetics along the Eastern shear and this area also appears not to have been sampled. The data from the multi-element lag sampling of RGC may also give clues on trends and underlying rock types when recovered to an electronic database. There is untested gold anomalous in the eastern part of the current granted tenements and extensive areas of untested greenstones along and adjacent to major regional structures. The geochemical coverage should be extended further east to cover the Eastern Shear and to fill gaps left by RGC. RAB or aircore drilling of the gold anomalies is also justified.

Iron Ore Potential

A magnetite unit, extending for 7.5km through the current granted tenements has been sampled along 4km of strike and returns up to 40.69% Fe with an average of 30.72% Fe (Table 3). Additional mapping and sampling of the unit is required as it may be suitable for upgrade magnetite beneficiation.

The eastern part of the prospect shows strong, linear, north trending features in regional TMI and FVD aeromagnetic and Landsat images. These correlate with mapped BIF units. These outcrop for about 3.5km but can be traced through the current granted tenements, using the magnetics for up to 7.5km. The First Vertical Derivative of the TMI suggests at least four parallel BIF units with the

western two merging within the current granted tenements in the north and the south. The strongly outcropping part of the western unit has been rockchip sampled over 4km of strike, yielding results of up to 40.69% Fe with an average of 30.72% Fe (Table 3). About half the samples were strongly magnetic while the rest were weakly or non-magnetic – suggesting alteration of some surface magnetite to hematite. The northern part of the zone sampled contains higher Fe grades in the BIF. Exploration activities to date on the current granted tenements indicate the prospect has potential to host deposits of magnetite BIFS. By using a combination of field observations, magnetics and gravity (inversion modelling) it may be possible to estimate the potential tonnes and grade of iron contained in the BIFs to a reasonable level of accuracy. Further evaluation of the magnetite potential of the BIFs is required by geological mapping, surface sampling, magnetic and gravity (inversion modelling) and RC drilling.

EXPLORATION PROGRAM – E59/1380 AND P59/1893

An initial exploration program to further evaluate the magnetite potential of the BIFs on E59/1380 and P59/1893 is required with geological mapping, surface sampling, magnetic and gravity (inversion modelling) and RC drilling. By using a combination of field observations, magnetics and gravity (inversion modelling) it may be possible to estimate the potential tonnes and grade of iron contained in the BIFs to a reasonable level of accuracy.

Exploration in the second year is largely subject to the outcome of activities in the first year, however it is expected to primarily consist of further RC drilling and sampling / assaying.

The budget set out below is based on the Company raising only the minimum subscription amount under the Prospectus (being $2,500,000). If the Company raises more than this amount additional funds should be allocated to RC drilling and sampling / assaying in the second year. If the maximum amount of $4,000,000 is raised expenditure in the second year for RC drilling and sampling / assaying should increase to $375,000 and $150,000 respectively.

KIRKALOCKA PROJECT

The Kirkalocka Project is situated in the Mid-West region of Western Australia, 70km south of Mount Magnet. The project is adjacent to the Great Northern Highway with the nearest railhead at Menzies 200 km south-east on the Leonora-Kalgoorlie-Esperance line and port access is at Geraldton 325 km west. The Kirkalocka Project includes two exploration licence applications, E59/1476 and E59/1487 covering 275.2 square kilometres.

TENEMENT APPLICATION DATE GRANT DATE EXPIRY DATE AREA (BLOCKS) AREA HECTARES (HA)
E59/1476 06-02-08 - - 66 -
E59/1487 06-02-08 - - 20 -

The project covers a significant strike length of the Wydgee greenstone belt in the Murchison Province of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. The greenstone belt, flanked by granites comprises a complex sequence of ultramafics, mafic, intermediate and felsic volcanic and/or intrusive rocks, banded iron formation and sedimentary rocks that form part of the Luke Creek Group. Metamorphic grade is upper greenschist to amphibolite facies.

The Kirkalocka Project hosts several BIF units that are predominantly buried under shallow colluvium with approximately 200 m of strike extent forming a ridge orientated north-northwest. The depth of oxidation averages 70 m. The greenstone belt is bounded by the north-west trending Curara shear on the western side and the north-west trending Kirkalocka fault in the east.

The Amazon project held by Mount Magnet South NL lies between the Kirkalocka tenements on the same BIF units. Work to date indicates low grade magnetite potential, however little work has been completed since 2008. The structure hosting Amazon trends north into E59/1476.

EXPLORATION BUDGET

Given the tenements are still in application no exploration expenditure has been allocated to the Kirkalocka Project.

DANDARAGA PROSPECT

The Dandaraga Prospect is a single exploration licence application, being E57/839 covering 44 sub blocks and is located in the Mid-West region of Western Australia.

TENEMENT APPLICATION DATE GRANT DATE EXPIRY DATE AREA (BLOCKS) AREA HECTARES (HA)
E57/839 23-07-10 - - 44 -

The prospect is 36km SE of Sandstone, adjacent to a good dirt road. The prospect has mainly subdued topo except for one prominent 3km long ridge, which has a coincident gravity anomaly and may represent a BIF ridge. Ground mapping is required to confirm the presence of BIF on the tenement.

Other iron ore deposits in the area include the Cashmere Downs Iron Project to the south and the Troy Resources iron prospect to the north.

EXPLORATION BUDGET

The tenement is still in application no exploration expenditure has been allocated to the Dandaraga prospect.

The Company's main objectives in undertaking the Offer include raising funds to be applied to:

  • satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Tenement Agreements;
  • exploration for iron ore mineralisation on its granted tenements through geological mapping, surface sampling, geophysics and RC drilling; and
  • general working capital and the expenses of the Offer.

2. SCOPE OF REPORT

You have requested HLB Mann Judd ("HLB") to prepare this Report presenting the following information:

a) the historical financial information of the Company, comprising the historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2010 and the historical Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the period from registration to 30 June 2010 as set out in Appendix 1 to this Report; and

b) the proforma financial information for the Company, comprising the proforma Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2010 and the proforma Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended. This information is presented under the following two scenarios:

  • $2,500,000 capital raising (minimum subscription), and
  • $4,000,000 capital raising (full subscription).

The Directors have prepared and are responsible for the historical and proforma information. We disclaim any responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the financial information to which it relates for any purposes other than that for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the full Prospectus.

We performed a review of the historical financial information and the proforma financial information of the Company as at 30 June 2010 in order to ensure consistency in the application of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements.

Our review of the historical financial information and the proforma information of the Company was carried out in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard ASRE 2410 "Review of an Interim Financial Report performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" and included such enquiries and procedures which we considered necessary for the purposes of this Report. The review procedures undertaken by HLB in our role as Investigating Accountants were substantially less in scope than that of an audit examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Our review was limited primarily to an examination of the historical financial information and the proforma information, analytical review procedures and discussions with senior management. A review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the historical financial information and proforma information included in this Report or elsewhere in the Prospectus.

a) support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed;
b) the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the assets were sold at the date of this Report; and
c) the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted.

3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Set out in Appendix 1 (attached) are:

a) The Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 30 June 2010, and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended; and
b) The proforma Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 30 June 2010 and proforma Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended as they would appear after incorporating the following significant events and proposed transactions by the Company subsequent to 30 June 2010:

i) the issue by the Company pursuant to the Prospectus of 20,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of 20 cents each, raising $4,000,000;

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In our opinion, there have been no material items, transactions or events subsequent to 30 June 2010 not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus that have come to our attention during the course of our review that would require comment in, or adjustment to, the content of this Report or which would cause such information included in this Report to be misleading.

5. STATEMENTS

Based on our review, which was not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that causes us to believe that:

a) the historical financial information of West Peak Iron Limited as at 30 June 2010 as set out in Appendix 1 of this Report, does not present fairly the financial position of the Company as at that date in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting requirements in Australia and its performance as represented by its results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended; and

b) the proforma information of West Peak Iron Limited as at 30 June 2010 as set out in Appendix 1 of this Report, does not present fairly the financial position of the Company as at that date in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting requirements in Australia and its performance as represented by its results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, as if the transactions referred to in Section 3 (b) of this Report had occurred during that period.

6. DECLARATION

a) HLB will be paid its usual professional fees based on time involvement, for the preparation of this Report and review of the financial information, at our normal professional rates (expected to be $5,000).

b) Apart from the aforementioned fee, neither HLB, nor any of its associates will receive any other benefits, either directly or indirectly, for or in connection with the preparation of this Report.

c) Neither HLB, nor any of its employees or associated persons has any interest in West Peak Iron Limited or the promotion of the Company.

d) Unless specifically referred to in this Report, or elsewhere in the Prospectus, HLB was not involved in the preparation of any other part of the Prospectus and did not cause the issue of any other part of the Prospectus. Accordingly, HLB makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any other part of the Prospectus.

e) HLB has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears. The inclusion of this Report should not be taken as an endorsement of the Company or a recommendation by HLB of any participation in the Company by an intending subscriber.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION TO 30 JUNE 2010

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of the historical and proforma financial information reported under Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS") are shown below.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the measurement requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia using the accrual basis of accounting, including the historical cost convention.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial information complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial information, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, comply with measurement requirements but not all of the disclosure requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

WEST PEAK IRON LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD OF REGISTRATION TO 30 JUNE 2010

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(b) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(c) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(e) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the Statement of Financial Position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:


Investigating Accountant's Report

WEST PEAK IRON LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION TO 30 JUNE 2010

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  2. when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  3. when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each Statement of Financial Position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(f) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

WEST PEAK IRON LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION TO 30 JUNE 2010

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(g) Impairment of assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(h) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(i) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(j) Share-based payment transactions

The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of West Peak Iron Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately.

However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

Cash settled transactions:

The Company also provides benefits to employees in its electronics segment in the form of cash-settled share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for cash, the amounts of which are determined by reference to movements in the price of the shares of West Peak Iron Limited.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each Statement of Financial Position date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(k) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

FOR THE PERIOD FROM REGISTRATION TO 30 JUNE 2010

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(l) Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

(m) Proforma transactions

The proforma Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows have been derived from the historical financial information as at 30 June 2010 adjusted to give effect to the following actual or proposed significant events and transactions by the Company subsequent to 30 June 2010:

(i) the issue by the Company pursuant to the Prospectus of 20,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of 20 cents each raising $4,000,000;
(ii) the acquisition of interests in mineral tenements pursuant to the Tenement Agreements via the issue of 3,500,000 ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of 20 cents per share, the issue of 2,500,000 options over ordinary shares, exercisable at 20 cents on or before 30 June 2013 and the payment of $110,000 in cash consideration; and
(iii) the write off to the issued capital account of the cash costs of the Prospectus being an estimated $300,000.

Dear Sirs

TENEMENT REPORT

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus in connection with the listing on the ASX of West Peak Iron Limited (ACN 142 411 390) (Company) on or about 6 August 2010 for the issue of up to 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (Shares) at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise up to $4,000,000 (Prospectus).

1. SCOPE

We have been requested to report on certain mining tenements in which the Company has an interest (the Tenements).

The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are set out in Part I following this Report.

2. SEARCHES AND DOCUMENTS

For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of all of the Tenements as follows:

(a) we have obtained searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP). These searches were conducted on 3 August 2010. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Part I following this Report;

(b) we have obtained extracts of registered native title claims that apply to the Tenements as determined by the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT). This


material was obtained on 3 August 2010. Details of native title claims are set out in Section 7 of this Report and Part II following this Report; and

(c) we have reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us as at the date of the DMP searches referred to in Section 2(a) of this Report and have summarised the material terms (details of which are set out in Part II following this Report).

3. OPINION

As a result of our searches and enquiries, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant searches:

(a) (Company's Interest): this Report provides an accurate statement as to the Company's interest in the Tenements based on our searches and information provided to us;

(b) (Good Standing): unless otherwise specified in this Report, the Tenements are validly granted and in good standing; and

(c) (Third party interests): this Report provides accurate statements as to third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements apparent from our searches and the information provided to us.

4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this Report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements:

(a) (Company's Interest): The Company does not have a registered interest in all of the Tenements. It has an equitable interest to 90% of each of the tenements referred to in the Legendre Agreement and the CRC Agreement as summarised in Part II of this Report. The remaining tenements are applications made solely by the Company.

(b) (Objection): An objection has been lodged against exploration licence application ELA59/1620. The applicants of ELA59/1620 have entered into negotiations with the objecting party but as at the date of this Report no resolution has been reached. An application for a tenement cannot be progressed until an objection has been resolved either by mutual agreement between the interested parties or by determination of the Warden Court. As such the application for ELA59/1620 may be granted with additional conditions imposed to regulate the access arrangements between the parties and there is a risk that the application for ELA59/1620 may not be granted at all.

5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS

The Tenements comprise three exploration licences and one prospecting licence granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) (Mining Act) and twelve exploration licence applications. Part I following this Report provides a list of the Tenements. The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of this type of mining tenement as well as mining leases as set out in the Mining Act.

75


5.1 Exploration Licence

Application: A person may lodge an application for an exploration licence. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for an exploration licence. An application for an exploration licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.

Rights: The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of exploration for minerals.

Term: An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006, by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years. Where an exploration licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.

Retention Status: The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.

Conditions: Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.

Relinquishment: The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year.

Priority to apply for Mining Lease: The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

Conversion to Mining Lease: An application for conversion of an exploration licence to one or more mining leases must be accompanied by a notice of intent to commence productive mining operations or a "mineralisation report" prepared by a qualified person and a statement setting out information about proposed mining operations. A mining lease accompanied by a "mineralisation report" will only be approved where the Director Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation. Upon grant, a mining lease remains in force for a period of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years.

Transfer: No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealing.

5.2 Prospecting Licence

Application: A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to

76


grant an application for a prospecting licence. An application for a prospecting licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.

Rights: The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of prospecting for minerals.

Term: A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.

Retention Status: The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.

Conditions: Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in Part I following this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.

Priority to apply for a Mining Lease: The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

Transfer: There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.

6. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

There may be areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on the Tenements.

We have not undertaken searches to ascertain if any Aboriginal sites or objects have been registered in the vicinity of the Tenements as there is no obligation under the relevant legislation to register sites or objects. Further, the exact location of Aboriginal sites can not be ascertained from these searches.

The Company must ensure that it does not breach the Commonwealth and applicable State legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage as set out below. To ensure that it does not contravene such legislation, it would be prudent for the Company (and it would accord with industry practice and Aboriginal expectations) to conduct heritage surveys to determine if any Aboriginal sites or objects exist within the area of the Tenements. Any interference with these sites or objects must be in strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation. It may also be necessary for the Company to enter into separate arrangements with the traditional owners of the sites.

It is noted that standard Aboriginal heritage agreements have been entered into in respect of the granted exploration licences (as noted in Part III following this Report) which set out the obligations of the tenement holders in protecting Aboriginal heritage in areas where exploration takes place in a manner that is transparent, timely, certain and cost effective.

77


Under Aboriginal heritage agreements tenement holders may dispose of any or all of its rights with respect to their tenements, but must first procure an executed deed of assumption in favour of the relevant native title group by which the assignee (purchaser) agrees to be bound by the provisions of the heritage agreement and to assume, observe and perform the obligations of the assignor (vendor) under the heritage agreement insofar as they relate to the interest being acquired by the assignee (purchaser).

As heritage agreements relate to the process of 'clearing' areas of land on tenements in order to conduct exploration activities it is possible a purchaser may rely on surveys previously completed by a vendor where it wishes to conduct activities on areas within tenements previously cleared of heritage sites without the requirements to repeat the process and incur additional costs.

6.1 Commonwealth Legislation

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) (Commonwealth Heritage Act) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.

Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.

It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.

6.2 Western Australian Legislation

Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) (WA Heritage Act).

The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons.

The Minister's consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation or other alteration of or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site.

Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered and the WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites.

7. NATIVE TITLE

7.1 Introduction

This section of the Report examines the effect of native title on the Tenements.

The existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians was first recognised in Australia in 1992 by the High Court in the case Mabo v. Queensland (no.2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 (Mabo no.2).

Mabo no. 2 held that certain land tenure existing as at the date of that case, including mining tenements, where granted or renewed without due regard to native title rights, were invalid.

78


As a result of Mabo no. 2, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA) was passed to:

(a) provide a process for indigenous people to lodge claims for native title rights over land, for those claims to be registered by the NNTT and for the Courts to assess native title claims and determine if native title rights exist. Where a Court completes the assessment of a native title claim, it will issue a native title determination that specifies whether or not native title rights exist;

(b) provide that any land tenures granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 were valid despite Mabo no. 2. This retrospective validation of land tenure was subsequently extended by the NTA to include certain land tenure granted or renewed before 23 December 1996; and

(c) provide that an act that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) carried out after 23 December 1996 (a Future Act) must comply with certain requirements for the Future Act to be valid under the NTA. These requirements are called the Future Act Provisions.

7.2 Future Act Provisions

The Future Act Provisions vary depending on the Future Act to be carried out. In the case of the grant of a mining tenement, typically there are three alternatives: the Right to Negotiate, an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) and the Expedited Procedure. These are summarised below.

Right to Negotiate

The Right to Negotiate involves a formal negotiation between the State, the applicant for the tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders of native title rights. The aim is to agree the terms on which the tenement can be granted. The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement (e.g. in relation to heritage surveys).

If agreement is not reached to enable the tenement to be granted, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the NNTT, which has 6 months to decide whether the tenement can be granted, and if so on what conditions. The NNTT usually requires the parties to have had at least 6 months of negotiations before it will accept a referral for arbitration.

ILUA

An ILUA is a contractual arrangement governed by the NTA. Under the NTA, an ILUA must be negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.

The aim of the ILUA is to agree the terms on which a tenement can be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.

Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants) even though they may not be parties to it.

Expedited Procedure


The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is unlikely to adversely affect native title rights (Expedited Procedure). The grant of a tenement can occur under the Expedited Procedure if:

(a) the grant will not interfere directly with the carrying on of the community or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in relation to the land;

(b) the grant is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are holders of native title in relation to the land; and

(c) the grant is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major disturbance to any land.

If the State considers the above criteria are satisfied, it commences the Expedited Procedure by giving notice of the proposed grant of the tenement in accordance with the NTA. Persons have until 3 months after the notification date to take steps to become a registered native title claimant or native title holder in relation to the land to be subject to the tenement.

If there is no objection lodged by a registered native title claimant or a native title holder within 4 months of the notification date, the State may grant the tenement.

If one or more registered native title claimants or native title holders object within that 4 month notice period, the NNTT must determine whether the grant is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines that the Expedited Procedure applies, the State may grant the tenement. Otherwise, the Future Act Provisions (e.g. Right to Negotiate or ILUA) must be followed before the tenement can be granted.

The State of Western Australia currently follows a policy of granting mining leases, prospecting licences and exploration licenses under the Expedited Procedure where the applicant has entered into a standard aboriginal heritage agreement with the relevant registered native title claimants and native title holders. The standard heritage agreement (and ancillary agreements) usually provide for payment of compensation by the applicant for the tenement and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.

Exception to requirement to comply with Future Act Provisions

The grant of a Tenement does not need to comply with the Future Act Provisions if in fact native title has never existed over the land covered by the Tenement, or has been validly extinguished prior to the grant of the Tenement. We have not undertaken the extensive research needed to determine if in fact native title does not exist, or has been validly extinguished in relation to the Tenements.

Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (e.g. in relation to freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the Future Act Provisions when granting a Tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid in the event a court determines that native title rights do exist over the land subject to the Tenement and as such, the Future Act Provisions apply.

Where a Tenement has been retrospectively validated or validly granted under the NTA, the rights under the Tenement prevail over any inconsistent native title rights.

Application to the Tenements

80


The following sections of the Report identify:

(a) any native title claims, native title determinations and ILUAs that are registered against the Tenements (see Section 7.3);
(b) any Tenements which have been retrospectively validated under the NTA as being granted before 23 December 1996 (see Section 7.4);
(c) any Tenements which have been granted after 23 December 1996 and as such will need to have been granted following compliance with the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA. This Report assumes that the Future Act Provisions have been complied with in relation to these Tenements (see Section 7.4); and
(d) any Tenements which are yet to be granted and as such may need to be granted in compliance with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA (see Section 7.4).

7.3 Registered Native Title Claims and Determinations and ILUAs

Our searches indicate that the Tenements are subject to the following registered native title claims but no native title determinations or ILUAs.

The status of the native title claims is summarised in Part II following this Report.

Native title claimants are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions.

7.4 Validity of Tenements under the NTA

The sections below examine the validity of the Tenements under the NTA.

Tenements granted before 23 December 1996

Our searches indicate that none of the Tenements were granted before 23 December 1996.

Tenements granted after 23 December 1996

Our searches indicate that the following Tenements were granted after 23 December 1996.

Tenement Date of Grant
E59/1276 21/11/2007
E59/1362 01/10/2008
E59/1380 06/08/2009
P59/1893 08/04/2010

We have assumed that these Tenements were granted in accordance with the Future Act Provisions and as such are valid under the NTA.

Tenements renewed after 23 December 1996

Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA.


An exception is where the renewal is the first renewal of a mining tenement that was validly granted before 23 December 1996 and the following criteria are satisfied:

  • the area to which the mining tenement applies is not extended;
  • the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of the old mining tenement; and
  • the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the old mining tenement.

In such cases, the mining tenement can be renewed without complying with the Future Act Provisions. It is currently uncertain whether this exemption applies to a second or subsequent renewal of such a mining tenement.

Our searches indicate that none of the Tenements were renewed after 23 December 1996.

Renewals of Tenements in the future will need to comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA. The registered native title claimants and holders of native title identified in Section 7.3 of this Report will need to be involved as appropriate under the Future Act Provisions.

Valid grant of Applications for Tenements

The following Tenements are all currently applications and as such the grant of the Tenements will need to satisfy the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA.

The registered native title claimants identified in Section 7.3 of this Report will be involved in accordance with the Future Act Provisions.

We note that the grant of any tenements in the future in relation to the Tenements (e.g. the grant of a mining lease from an exploration licence) will also need to comply with the Future Act Provisions.

12. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

12.1 Rights attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General Meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend Rights

The Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend. Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares credited or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the dividend as declared shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares in accordance with Part 2H.5 of Chapter 2H of the Corporations Act.


The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividends shall be payable except out of profits. A determination by the Directors as to the profits of the Company shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-Up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, 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 as he considers fair 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.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributors as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

(f) Future Increase in Capital

The allotment and issue of any new shares in the Company is under the control of the Directors. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(g) Variation of Rights

Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

96


If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

12.2 Options

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 5,000,000 Options on issue. Each Option is exercisable at 20 cents on or before 30 June 2013.

A further 2,500,000 Options are to be issued pursuant to the Tenement Agreements on the same terms and conditions as existing Options.

12.3 Material Contracts

The Services Agreement contains standard termination provisions under which the Company must give 6 months notice of termination, or alternatively, payment in lieu of service. In addition, Mr Parker is entitled to all unpaid remuneration and entitlements up to the date of termination.

(c) Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access

The Company has entered into, or will enter into, a Deed of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each of its Directors.

Under these deeds, the Company agrees to indemnify each officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act against any liability arising as a result of the officer acting as an officer of the Company.
