3. Capital Raising

The Company is seeking to undertake a capital raising by way of share placements to professional and/or sophisticated investors to raise up to $1.75 million ( Capital Raising ). The issue price per Placement Share will be $0.07. As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has received commitments to subscribe for 14,285,000 Placement Shares, however the exact number of Placement Shares to be issued will not be known until completion of the Capital Raising.

The Capital Raising will be structured to ensure that no single investor, together with its associates, acquires voting power in excess of 20% in the Company (on a fully diluted basis). No related party of the Company will, directly or indirectly, acquire Placement Shares.

4.

Purpose of this Prospectus

The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may have attached to the Placement Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date (including prior to the date of this Prospectus).

In particular, this Prospectus will ensure that the on-sale of the Placement Shares do not cause a breach of section 707(3) of the Corporations Act by relying on the exemption to the secondary trading provisions in section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

The Company does not seek to raise significant funds from the offer of Shares under this Prospectus, as the Offer is being made to ensure that this Prospectus complies with section 710,

2

which contemplates an offer of securities.

4. Risk Factors

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

The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively manage them is limited.

In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company and its controlled entities. The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the specific risk factors which investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and the risks of increasing their investment in the Company. Investors should carefully consider the following factors.

(a) Exploration and Development

The tenements held by the Company have had limited prior exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.

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

The term of Petroleum Exploration Licence 105 ( PEL 105 ) is due to expire on 8 January 2014 and there is no right of renewal. However, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, PNC AUST Pty Ltd ( PNC ), has made application for a series of petroleum retention licenses to be granted in substitution for PEL 105 which, if granted, will ensure that PNC is entitled to carry out petroleum operations within the areas of those licences for at least another 5 years. There is a risk that, in the event its application for the grant of retention licenses is rejected, PNC's interest in this licence will be relinquished on 8 January 2014.

(b) Regulatory Risk

The Company's exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company's operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a well or mine.

Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could

3

result in suspension of the Company's activities or forfeiture of one or more of the tenements.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Expenditure Commitments

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or permits. Each licence or permit is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

(d) Forfeiture of ATP 904P

Notwithstanding that PNC has a binding agreement in place to acquire 100% of the interest in Authority to Prospect 904P ( ATP 904P ), the transfer of ATP 904P to PNC is conditional on PNC obtaining ministerial approval to the transfer. At the date of this Prospectus, the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy has not yet provided its consent for PNC to acquire any interest in ATP 904P.

(e) Oil and Gas Operations

The operations of the Company going forward may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify oil and gas reserves at PEL 105 and ATP 904P, failure to achieve predicted well production flow rates, operational and technical difficulties encountered in production, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated reservoir problems which may affect field production performance, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. No assurances can be given that the Company and PNC will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or production of its prospect interests.

(f) Oil and Gas Reserves and Commercial Flow

Oil and gas reserves are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may change significantly when new information or techniques becomes available. In addition, by their nature, oil and gas reserves 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 commercial flow plans which may, in turn, either benefit or adversely affect the Company's operations.

(g) Oil and Gas Price Volatility and Exchange Rate

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

Furthermore, international prices of oil and gas 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.

4

(h) Contracts Risk

As part of the Company's commercial activities, the Company will be a party to, and enter into, various contracts with third parties for the supply of products and services, sales contracts and financial instruments, amongst other things. If counterparties to contracts with the Company or PNC fail to meet their commitments under such contracts, it may have an impact on the Company's financial position.

(i)

Environmental

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment applicable in the jurisdiction of those activities. As with most production operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or production proceeds. It is the Company's practice to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Nevertheless, there are certain risks inherent in the Company's activities such as accidental leakages or spills, or other unforeseen circumstances which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

(j) 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 Placement. 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.

(k)

Gold Operating Costs

Operating costs are estimated based on the interpretation of geological data, feasibility studies, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. Any of the following events, among the other events and uncertainties described in this Prospectus, could affect the ultimate accuracy of such estimates and result in an increase in actual operating costs incurred:

  • (i) unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of ore to be mined and processed;

  • (ii) incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;

  • (iii) equipment delays;

  • (iv) labour negotiations;

  • (v) changes in government regulation (including regulations regarding prices, costs of consumables, royalties, duties, taxes, permitting and restrictions on production quotas on exploration of minerals); and

  • (vi) title claims.

(I) Competition Risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.

5

(m) 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 Company's securities.

Any interest earned on the application moneys will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether allotment takes place and each Applicant waives the right to claim any interest.

The Directors will determine the allottees of all the Shares. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application or to allocate any Applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for.

5.8 Restrictions on the Distribution of the Prospectus

The distribution of this Prospectus outside the Commonwealth of Australia may be restricted by law. This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS for those investors who have a sponsoring stockbroker.

Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with separate statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company's share registry. You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

5.11 Taxation Implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

7. Rights and Liabilities Attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to Shares can be summarised as follows:

(a) Meetings and Notices

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices of meetings. The failure of a Shareholder to receive a notice of meeting does not invalidate the proceedings, or any resolution passed at, any such meeting. No business may be transacted at any meeting of Shareholders unless a quorum of Shareholders is present. Shareholders may attend a general meeting at which the Shareholder is entitled to be present in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a Shareholder which is a body corporate, by a corporate representative.

(b) Voting Rights

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

Where there are two or more joint holders of the Shares and more than one of them is present at a meeting and tenders a vote in respect of the Share (whether in person or by proxy or attorney), the Company will count only the vote cast by the member whose name

9

appears before the other(s) in the Company's register of Shareholders.

(c) Dividend Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions attaching to a class of shares, the Company may pay dividends as the Directors resolve. The Directors may fix the time for payment and the method of distribution.

(d) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, a member may transfer one or more Shares they hold by:

  • (i) a proper ASTC transfer;

  • (ii) an instrument of transfer in compliance with the Constitution; or

  • (iii) any other method permitted by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

The Company may decline to register a transfer of Shares were permitted to do so under the provisions of the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer, the Company must, within 5 Business Days after the transfer is delivered to the Company, give the party lodging the transfer written notice of the refusal and the reason for refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer of shares when required by the Corporations Act, by the ASX Listing Rules or by the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(e) Future Issues

Subject to the Constitution, the applicable law and the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors may allot, issue or grant options over, or otherwise deal with the unissued shares in the Company at the times and on the terms and conditions that the Directors think proper and a share may be issued with preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions or restrictions.

(f) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution (that is, a resolution that has been passed by at least three-quarters of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution). While the Company is listed, at least 28 days written notice of the special resolution must be given.

(g) Variation of Rights

The Company may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any Shares with the prior approval by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of shares of that class or with the written consent of the holders of at least three-quarters of the issued Shares of the affected class.

(h) Directors

The minimum number of Directors is three and the maximum is ten. Currently there are four Directors. Directors must retire on rotational basis so that one-third of Directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Any other Director who has been in office for three or more years must also retire. The Directors may appoint a director either in addition to existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy, who then holds office until the next annual general meeting.

10

(h) Officers' Indemnity

To the extent permitted by the law, the Company must indemnify each officer (including a Director, auditor and agent of the Company) against any liability which that officer may incur by reason of being an officer or in carrying out the business or exercising the powers of the Company.

8.7 Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in Section 111 AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities.

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus". In general terms a "transaction specific prospectus" is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to the ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of the ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify the ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of the ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by the ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with ASIC;

  • (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and

  • (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to the ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.

13

8.8 Copies of Documents

Copies of all documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.

The Company will provide free of charge to any person who requests it during the period of the Offer, a copy of:

  • (a) the Full Year Statutory Accounts containing the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, being the last financial year for which financial statements were lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company; and

  • (b) the following continuous disclosure notices given by the Company to notify the ASX of information relating to the Company during the period from the date of lodgement of the Full Year Statutory Accounts referred to in paragraph (a) and before the date of issue of this Prospectus are as follows:
