1 DETAILS OF THE OFFER

1.1 Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is an offer of 73,637,743 New Shares at the Offer Price of $0.013 per New Share to raise up to approximately $957,291 before issue costs.

All Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 (one) New Share for every 8 (eight) Existing Share held at 5pm (WST) on 1 September 2021 ( Record Date ). New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled (your Entitlement ) is shown on the accompanying Application Form.

Eligible Shareholders who wish to take up their Entitlement in full may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their pro rata entitlement via a Shortfall Offer[2] . To participate in the Shortfall Offer shareholders must apply at the same time as they apply for their Entitlements. Applications under the Shortfall Offer will only be satisfied to the extent there is a shortfall under the Entitlement Offer and will be subject to the terms and conditions that are outlined in section 1.6. The Board, in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserves the right to allocate New Shares under the Shortfall Offer in their absolute discretion.

Certain terms and abbreviations in this Offer Document are defined in the glossary of terms in section 6.

1.2 No Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Entitlement Offer.

1.3 Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer

Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's Share Register at 5pm (WST) on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

An Application Form setting out your Entitlement to New Shares accompanies this Offer Document.

1.4 Acceptances

This Offer may be accepted in whole or in part prior to 5pm (WST) on 15 September 2021 subject to the rights of the Company to extend the Entitlement Offer Period.

Instructions for accepting your Entitlement are set out in section 3 and on the Application Form which accompanies this Offer Document.

1.5 No Trading of Entitlements

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. This means that the Entitlements of Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for New Shares are not transferable and there will be no trading of Entitlements on ASX. Eligible Shareholders who choose not to take up their Entitlements will receive no benefit and their shareholding in the Company will be diluted as a result.

1.6 Shortfall Offer

ASX Listing Rule 7.11.4 and section 708AA(13)(a) of the Corporations Act (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 ) permit the Company to make an additional offer of the New Shares that may be comprised in any Shortfall.

Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders are also able to participate in a further discretionary offer of New Shares, being the New Shares that have been initially offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer ( Shortfall Offer ). It is a condition of participating in the Shortfall Offer that the New Shares being offered may only be issued to a successful applicant where an offer of the New Shares has first been made to, but not accepted by, another Eligible Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer.

In addition:

2 Provided that the issue of those New Shares will not result in a breach of the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or other applicable law.

4

  • (a) the Shortfall Offer is only made available to persons to whom offers were made under the Entitlement Offer (i.e. to Eligible Shareholders);

  • (b) there is no guarantee that any Application in the Shortfall Offer will be successful and the Directors, in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserve the right to allocate and satisfy Applications received under the Shortfall Offer at their sole discretion;

  • (c) the Shortfall Offer has the same Closing Date as the Entitlement Offer; and

  • (d) the issue price of New Shares under the Shortfall Offer is the same price as the New Shares offered under the Entitlement Offer.

If you wish to subscribe for New Shares in addition to your Entitlement then you should nominate the maximum number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for on the Application Form and make corresponding payment for your full Entitlement plus the additional New Shares.

The Directors, in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserve their right to allot and issue New Shares under the Shortfall Offer at their discretion within three months of the Closing Date, having regard to the circumstances as at the close of the Entitlement Offer. Any scale back of applications for New Shares under the Shortfall Offer will be at the Company’s discretion, in conjunction with the Underwriter, and their decision on the number of New Shares to be allocated to Eligible Shareholders will be final. No New Shares will be issued under the Shortfall Offer to a Shareholder which will result in them increasing their voting power in the Company above 20%. The Company, the Underwriter Parties and their respective advisers disclaim any duty or liability (including for negligence) in respect of the exercise of that discretion to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The practical effect of the Shortfall Offer is that an Eligible Shareholder can potentially increase its relevant interest in the Company, but no Eligible Shareholder can increase its relevant interest to more than 20% by way of application for additional New Shares under the Shortfall Offer.

It is an express term of the Entitlement Offer that applicants for additional New Shares under the Shortfall Offer will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional New Shares allocated to them than applied for, if so allocated.

Persons who are unsuccessful in their Application under the Shortfall Offer or whose Application is only part accepted will have their excess Application Monies (without interest) returned by cheque within five days of the Closing Date, without interest. Please note it is not practical to refund amounts of less than $2.00 and any refunds owing for this amount will be retained by the Company.

Any New Shares remaining following allocation under the Shortfall Offer will then be allocated to the Underwriter in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

1.7 Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) ( Underwriter ). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the New Shares remaining following allocation under the Entitlement Offer and the Shortfall Offer at an issue price of $0.013 each.

On completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will pay the Underwriter a fee of 6% of the underwritten amount in addition to the issue of 10,000,000 options at an issue price of $0.00001 each with an exercise price of $0.02 each and expiring on the date that is 3 years from their date of issue.

A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in section 5.5 of this Offer Document.

For information on the Underwriter’s disclaimer in relation to this Offer Document, please refer to the Important Notices section of this Offer Document under the heading “Disclaimer”.

Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that quotation and trading of New Shares will commence on a deferred settlement basis on 16 September 2021.

The fact that ASX may agree to grant official quotation of the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares.

1.13 Issue Outside Eligible Jurisdictions

This Offer Document and accompanying Application Form does not constitute an offer of Shares in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make the Entitlement Offer.

Under CHESS, applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Shares.

If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.

If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company’s share registrar and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under the Entitlement Offer and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities.

In the event that circumstances change or other opportunities arise, the Directors reserve the right to vary the proposed use of funds to maximise benefits to Shareholders.

2.2 Effect of the Entitlement Offer on the Company’s Financial Position

The effect of the Entitlement Offer will be that:

  • (a) cash reserves will initially increase by approximately $957,291 (after payment of costs of the Entitlement Offer); and

  • (b) the number of Shares on issue will increase by approximately 73,637,743 from 589,101,938 to 662,739,681 (excluding any Consideration Shares and the Director Placement Shares. See section 5.6 for further information).

2.3 Effect of the Entitlement Offer on Control

The Entitlement Offer is structured as a pro rata issue and if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the Entitlement Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company.

If Shareholders do not take up their entitlements (whether because they are Ineligible Shareholders or otherwise), their interest in the Company will be diluted. The interests of Shareholders that only take up part of their Entitlement will also be diluted but to a lesser extent. The proportional interests of Ineligible Shareholders will be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Based on the information in section 1.9, no person would increase their voting power above 20% as a result of acceptance of an Entitlement and in respect of the Shortfall Offer, the Company will only issue Shares to an applicant where the Directors are satisfied, in their discretion, that the issue of the Shares will not result in a person’s voting power increasing above 20%.

2.4 Effect on Capital Structure

A table of changes in the capital structure of the Company as a consequence of the Entitlement Offer is set out below:

Shares Number
Existing Shares as at the date of this Offer Document 589,101,938
New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer 73,637,743
Total issued Shares 662,739,6811

Note:

  1. This figure includes the Placement Shares but excludes the Consideration Shares and the Director Placement Shares. For more information see section 5.6.

4. RISK FACTORS

4.1 Overview

An investment in the Company is not risk free and investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Offer Document, before deciding whether to apply for New Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.

The Company’s principal activity is mineral resource exploration and development and companies in this industry are subject to many and varied kinds of risks. While risk management cannot eliminate the impact of all potential risks, the Company strives to manage such risks to the extent possible and practical. Following are the risk factors which the Company believes are most important in the context of the Company’s business.

The following list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors relating to an investment in the Company and other risk factors may apply.

4.2 Company risks

(a) Future capital requirements

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until its projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors, including the scale and type of its exploration activities.

The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer should be adequate to fund its exploration and corporate activities and other Company objectives in the short to medium term.

However, in order to successfully develop its projects and for production to commence, the Company will require additional financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Entitlement Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained as and when required, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company's activities, including resulting in its interest in the Tolukuma Project and/or the Murraydium Project being subject to dilution or forfeiture and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Future issuances of Shares

The Company may also issue additional securities to finance future activities. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances of securities may have on the market price of the Shares. Issuances of substantial numbers of Shares, or the perception that such issues could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Shares. With any additional issuance of Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its earnings per share.

  • (c) Unforeseen expenses

The Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account. However, if such unforeseen expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.

(d) Reliance on key management

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel employed or engaged by the Company. Loss of such personnel may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company.

12

The Board is aware of the need to have sufficient management to properly supervise the exploration and (if successful) for the development of the Company’s projects.

(e) Land access risks

The Company will require access to land to undertake its proposed activities. Negotiations with Native Title groups or owners/occupiers are generally required for the Company to be granted access to land. Any issues or delays with the negotiation to access the land may cause delay or adversely impact the Company’s planned exploration activities.

Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights. Minerals rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the Company’s tenements.

(f) Tenements and Title risk

Australia

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases ( Title Right ). Each licence or lease is for a specific term and has annual expenditure and reporting commitments, together with other conditions requiring compliance. The Company could lose its title to or its interest in one or more of the tenements in which it has an interest if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet the minimum expenditure commitments.

The Company's tenements, and other tenements in which the Company may acquire an interest in the future, will be subject to renewal, which is usually at the discretion of the relevant authority. If a tenement is not renewed the Company may lose the opportunity to discover mineralisation and develop that tenement.

In respect of granted tenements, whilst it is the Company’s intention to satisfy the conditions that apply to the tenements no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in managing its minimum expenditure obligations and retaining such tenements. Should non-compliance with the conditions occur in the future, the Company may be subject to penalties or forfeiture applications. Any of these events could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s prospects and the value of its assets.

Further, Title Rights are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future Title Rights will be approved. Renewal of the terms of the granted Title Right is at the discretion of the relevant government authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure or work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of the areas comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

As at the date of this Offer Document, the Company holds four exploration licence applications in the Murray Basin region in South Australia, which together form the Murraydium Project. Whilst the Company has no reason to believe that these applications will not be granted, there is a risk that the applications may not be granted or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.

Papua New Guinea

Mining companies must obtain numerous licences, permits and approvals issued by various Papua New Guinea ( PNG ) governmental agencies and regulatory bodies that regulate operational, environmental and safety matters in connection with mineral exploration and mining in PNG. The applicable rules and regulations are complex and may change over time. There is a risk that all necessary licences, permits and approvals will not be granted, may be granted on terms not satisfactory to the Company, or may be granted but not within the timeframes anticipated by the Company.

Interests in tenements in PNG are governed by the mining acts and regulations that are current in that country and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting

13

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.

All of the tenements in which the Company has an interest (or tenements in which the Company may acquire an interest in the future), will be subject to applications for renewal or exemption from expenditure (as the case may be). The renewal or exemption from expenditure for a tenement is usually determined at the discretion of the relevant government authority. If a tenement is not renewed or granted an exemption from expenditure, the Company may suffer damage through loss of opportunity to develop and discover minerals on that tenement.

(g) Native Title and Heritage Risk

Australia

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to carry out exploration and in future, mining activities, or obtain exploration or mining licences in Australia. In applying for licences over crown land, the Company must observe the provisions of Native Title legislation.

There are also laws of the States and Territories which impose duties of care which require persons, including the Company, to take all reasonable and practical measures to avoid damaging or destroying Aboriginal cultural heritage.

In carrying out exploration and/or mining operations, the Company must observe Native Title legislation (where applicable), Aboriginal heritage legislation and heritage legislation which protects sites and objects of significance and these may delay or impact adversely on the Company’s operations in Australia. These laws and regulations are subject to regular review and change.

Papua New Guinea

Approximately 97 per cent of land in PNG is held by its traditional owners under customary principles of landownership. The specific elements and rules of the system of customary land tenure vary from place to place. However, customary landownership generally recognises the traditional users of land and their personal and clan arrangements for land use. In general, land held under such tenure is almost entirely communally owned and cannot be alienated other than through being acquired by the State.

The extent of land which has been acquired by the State is quite limited. Once the State has acquired land, the original customary ‘traditional’ landowners should have no further claims in respect of it and leases from the State over such land should be inviolable. However, at various times ‘traditional’ landowners have exercised considerable pressure by way of demands for additional compensation for land previously acquired by the State and legal challenges against the acquisition process. There have been isolated instances of threatened violence against holders of State leases.

Title to most land in PNG has not been recorded or registered and there has been little surveying. As a result, title to land (in Western legal terms) is often unclear. Disputes over land ownership are common, especially in the context of resource developments. Identifying all the affected landowners, and structuring compensation arrangements that are both fair and acceptable to all of them, can be difficult.

The Company believes that the satisfactory resolution of local landowner concerns is essential to the development and operation of a mine in PNG and believes that it enjoys sound relationships with the affected landowners. The Group has always been committed to spending considerable time, effort and expense in order to resolve landowner issues relating to the Tolukuma Project, but there can be no assurance that disruptions arising out of landowner dissatisfaction will not occur.

The PNG Government has limited powers under various statutes to acquire private property compulsorily if it is required for public purposes. Furthermore, the PNG National Parliament, in exercise of its sovereign power, could enact legislation to expropriate specific private property. While there are constitutional protections against the unjust acquisition of property owned by PNG citizens, no such protection is afforded to foreign enterprises. The

14

Directors are not aware of any specific issues that might lead to the expropriation of the Company’s assets in PNG and do not know of any case where this power has been exercised where companies are being properly managed and operating within their licences. However, the risk remains that this power could be exercised against the Company and there can be no assurance that any compensation would reflect what the Company considered to be the market value of the relevant assets.

(h) New projects, potential acquisitions and joint ventures

The Company has pursued and assessed to date, and will continue to actively pursue and assess, other new business opportunities, particularly those in the resource sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisitions of tenements/permits or direct equity participation.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess, at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from other projects and/or the raising of additional capital (if available).

Furthermore, any new project or business acquisition may change the risk profile of the Company, particularly if the new project is located in another jurisdiction, involves a new commodity and/or changes the Company’s capital and/or funding requirements.

Should the Company propose or complete the acquisition of a new project and/or business activity, investors should re-assess their investment in the Company in light of the new project and/or business activity.

(i) Foreign currency and exchange rate fluctuations

International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas any potential income and the expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, therefore exposing the Company to fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the two currencies.

Accordingly, the revenues, earnings, costs, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Company may be exposed adversely to exchange rate fluctuation.

(j)

Approval risks

The Company will be reliant on heritage, environmental and other approvals required in Australia or PNG to enable it to proceed with the exploration and development of any of its tenements/licences or the granting of any tenement/licence applications. There is no guarantee that the required approvals will be granted, and failure by the Company to obtain the relevant approvals, or any delay in the award or transfer of the approvals, may materially and adversely affect the Company's ability to proceed with its proposed exploration and development programs.

(k) Operations

The exploration programs of the Company and project development and mining operations may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These may include adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, plant and equipment, and events involving fire or explosions and the occurrence of other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

(l) Legislative Change and Government Policy

Changes in laws and regulations in Australia and PNG may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations generally of the Company. Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations generally of the Company.

Specifically, the availability and rights to explore for mineral, as well as operational profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy that are beyond the control of the Company.

Australia

The governments of the relevant States and Territories of Australia in which the Company has interests conduct reviews from time to time of policies in connection with the granting and administration of tenements. Changing attitudes to environmental, land care, cultural

15

heritage or traditional religious artefacts and indigenous land rights issues, together with the nature of the political process, provide the possibility for future policy changes. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s exploration, development or operational plans or, indeed, its rights and/or obligations with respect to the tenements.

In addition to legislation changes, changes in relevant taxation, interest rates, other legal or administrative regimes, as well as Government policies in Australia may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of both the Company and the entities in which it invests. These factors may ultimately affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its Securities.

Changing attitudes to financial services regulation and protection of investment activities, together with the nature of the political process, provide the possibility for future policy changes. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s business, operations or financial condition.

No assurance can be given that any new laws or regulations or that existing laws and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the Company’s activities and ultimate development or operations of its projects.

Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining or more stringent implementation of them could have a substantial adverse impact on the current and any future project and therefore the Company.

Papua New Guinea

The formulation or implementation of PNG Government policies may be unpredictable on certain issues including laws, policies and regulations that impact the Company's operations. The Company's exploration and mining operations are and will be subject to various PNG laws, policies and regulations governing the ownership, prospecting, development and mining of minerals, taxation and royalties, exchange controls, import and export duties, currency transfers, restrictions and foreign currency holding and repatriation of earnings, investment approvals, environmental matters, employee and social community relations and other matters.

The possibility that the current, or a future PNG Government may adopt substantially different policies with regard to the economy, taxation or the operation or regulation of nationally important assets such as mines cannot be ruled out. If the Company were not able to obtain or maintain necessary permits, authorisations or agreements to implement the Project under conditions or within time frames that make such plans and operations economic, or if legal, ownership, fiscal (including all royalties and duties), exchange control, employment, environmental and social laws and regimes, or the governing political authorities change materially, resulting in changes to such laws and regimes, the Company's results of operations and its financial condition could be adversely affected.

4.3 Mining Industry risks

(a) Exploration and evaluation risks

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 future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to permitting conditions, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its tenements and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the tenements.

16

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)

Payment obligations

Pursuant to the tenements/licences comprising the Company's projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, tenement/licence holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the tenement liable to be cancelled or its size reduced. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in its projects.

(c)

Resource estimations

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(d) Ability to exploit successful discoveries

It may not always be possible for the Company to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploration would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploration may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company’s.

(e)

Development risks and costs

Possible future development of mining operations at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a number of factors and avoiding various risks including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, excessive seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

In addition, the construction of any proposed development may exceed the expected timeframe or cost for a variety of reasons out of the Company’s control. Any delays to project development could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial results and may require the Company to raise further funds to complete the project development and commence operations.

(f)

Operating risks

The Company may be subject to the risks involved in the establishment of a new mining operation if the Company decides to develop its mineral assets. There is no assurance that can be given to the level of viability that the Company’s operations may achieve. Lower than expected productivity and technical difficulties and late delivery of materials and equipment could have an adverse impact on any future construction and commissioning schedules. No assurance can be given that the intended production schedules will be met or that the estimated operating cash costs and development costs will be accurate.

Further, the operations of the Company, if production commences, may have to be shut down or may otherwise be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond

17

the control of the Company, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, weather conditions, fire, explosions and other accidents at the mine, processing plant or related facilities beyond the control of the Company. The occurrence of any of the risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, amongst other things, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently maintains insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice and approriate for its current activities, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain its future insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all, or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims).

(g)

Government regulation

The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, land claims of local people, and other matters. Although the exploration and development activities of the Company are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

(h) Inherent mining risks

The Company’s business operations are subject to risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry. The exploration for and the development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, including: environmental hazards; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; structure cave-in or slides; flooding; fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Whether income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development.

(i) Fluctuations in commodity prices

The price of commodities fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. Future serious price declines in the market value of minerals could cause the continued development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the Company’s projects and the Company’s other properties to be rendered uneconomic. Depending on the price of minerals the Company could be forced to discontinue production or development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its properties. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of minerals are produced, a profitable market will exist for it.

In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.

18

(j) Environmental risk

Australia

The exploration and operational activities of the Company are subject to Australian laws concerning the environment. The Company is required under the laws to obtain environmental approval to commence drilling.

The Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment particularly if advanced exploration or mine site recommissioning or development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to continue to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation including but not limited to compliance with all environmental laws and regulations.

The Company’s projects are subject to laws and regulations in relation to environmental matters. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. There is a risk that the environmental laws and regulations could become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration or production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events such as unpredictable rainfall, bushfires and the like may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation and regulation.

As a result, there is the risk that the Company may incur liability under these laws and regulations, which the Company proposes to manage by conducting its programs in a responsible manner with regard to the environment.

Papua New Guinea

The Company’s ability to operate successfully in PNG communities will likely depend on its ability to develop, operate and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the health, safety and wellbeing of the Company’s employees, the protection of the environment, and the creation of long term economic and social opportunities in the communities in which the Company operates. The Company seeks to promote improvements in health and safety, environmental performance and community relations. However, the Company’s ability to operate could be adversely impacted by accidents or events detrimental (or perceived to be detrimental) to the health, safety and wellbeing of the Company’s employees, the environment or the communities in which it operates.

The Company’s operations involve the use of environmentally hazardous materials as well as the discharge of materials and contaminants into the environment, disturbance of land, and other environmental concerns. The activities of the Company are subject to significant environmental regulations promulgated by relevant PNG governmental authorities and other agencies periodically. Environmental legislation generally provides for the remediation of mining sites which may require significant capital expenditure. These laws and regulations, as interpreted by relevant agencies and courts, impose increasingly stringent environmental protection standards regarding, among other things, air emissions, wastewater storage, treatment and discharges, the use and handling of hazardous or toxic materials, waste disposal practices and remediation of environmental contamination. The costs of complying with these laws and regulations, including participation in assessments and remediation of sites, could be significant. In addition, these standards can create the risk of substantial environmental liabilities, including liabilities associated with divested assets and past activities. Environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and amounts required to establish and maintain adequate provision for environmental liabilities may be significant, especially in light of potential changes in environmental conditions or the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions, the risk of governmental orders to carry out compliance on certain sites not initially included in remediation in progress, and the potential liability of the Company to remediate sites for which provisions have not been previously established. Such future developments could result in increased environmental costs and liabilities that could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business, assets, financial position and results of operations.

4.4 General investment risks

(a) General Economic Conditions

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates or holds investments in may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that economic climate include the general level of economic activity, interest rates, currency fluctuations, inflation, supply and demand, industrial disruption, changes in investor sentiment, infectious diseases, terrorism or other hostilities and other economic factors. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Company cannot, with any degree of certainty, predict how they will impact on the Company. COVID19 has negatively affected global economies and is likely to continue to negatively affect global economies for an undetermined period of time. Refer to Section 4.4(g) for a description of the risks associated with COVID-19. For example, the Company’s ability to undertake mining and exploration activities is dependent upon its ability to source and acquire appropriate mining equipment and personnel. Equipment and personnel are not always readily available and the market for mining equipment and personnel experiences fluctuations in supply and demand.

Increases in worldwide mining activities may create cost pressures for services and skilled personnel in the resources industry, which may affect the ability to purchase or hire equipment, supplies and services and to recruit skilled personnel in relation to the Projects. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and other equipment and services is affected by the level and location of drilling activity around the world. An increase in drilling activity in PNG or in other areas in South-East Asia and Australia may reduce the availability of equipment and services to the Company.

In addition, an increased demand for mineral commodities may significantly increase the demand for many mining and processing inputs, which has resulted in shortages, as well as longer lead times for delivery and increases in pricing, of mining equipment and metallurgical plant, strategic spares and critical consumables. The reduced availability of equipment, services and skilled personnel may delay the planned exploration, development and production activities at the Project. A shortage of skilled labour in the PNG and Asia Pacific regional mining industry could result in the Company having insufficient employees or contractors to operate its business, which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

(b) Management of risk

There is a risk that management of the Company will not be able to implement the Company’s growth strategy after completion of the Offer. The capacity of the new management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Company may affect the Company’s financial performance.

(c) Competition risk

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

(d) Market risk

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:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) commodity price fluctuations;

  • (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

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

  • (vii) terrorism and other hostilities.

20

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. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(e)

Insurance and uninsured risks

The Company, where economically feasible, may insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, even if insurance is taken out, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered, or fully covered, by insurance could have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the costs can be prohibitive.

(f)

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 New Shares offered under this Offer Document.

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

(g) Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.

Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Company's ability to freely move people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID-19 on the Company's Share price may also impede the Company's ability to raise capital, or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders.

(h) Climate change

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the Company’s business or its assets.

Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea levels, floods, hail, drought, water, scarcity, temperature extremes, frosts, earthquakes and pestilences) may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access and utilise its tenements and/or on the Company’s ability to transport or sell mineral commodities.

Changes in policy, technological innovation and consumer or investor preferences could adversely impact the Company’s business strategy or the value of its assets (including its tenements), or may result in less favourable pricing for mineral commodities, particularly in the event of a transition (which may occur in unpredictable ways) to a lower-carbon economy.

(i) Force majeure

The Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics, pandemics or quarantine restrictions.

21

4.5 Other risks

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation through breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel and other matters that may interfere with the Company’s business or trade.
