1.3 Risks Summary

There are a number of risks associated with investing in the share market generally and in the Company specifically. The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company.

The Company 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 the Company can effectively manage them is limited. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative.

Prospective investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety before deciding on whether to apply for Shares under this Prospectus, and, in particular, consider the risk factors set out in Section 7, which include (but are not limited to):

  • Exposure of the Puntland Projects to political, economic and social risks of Puntland, Somalia a developing nation.

Red Emperor Resources NL Prospectus

2

  • The conditions precedent to the farm down of its interest in the Jillewarra Project not being satisfied. The Company would then need to fund the earn‐in commitments for a full 51% interest in the project.

  • The terms of the acquisition of an interest in the Georgian Project not being finalised in formal transaction documents and the Company not earning an interest in the Georgian Project.

  • Exposure of the Georgian Project to political, economic and social risks ofthe Republic of Georgia a developing nation.

  • The Company may not be able to raise further funds as and when required.

  • No guarantee of exploration success. There is no assurance that the exploration of its projects, or any projects acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral or petroleum deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

  • Ability to comply with environmental guidelines and policies. As with most exploration projects, the Company’s operations are expected to have an impact on the environment.

  • Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks may adversely impact the Company.

  • The Company may be unable to obtain the necessary government/environmental approvals for its proposed operations.

  • Economic conditions as well as share market volatility may affect the Company’s share price performance regardless of the Company’s operating performance.

6. 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.

6.1 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 of the Company.

6.2 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:

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

  • (b) 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

  • (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

6.3 Dividend Rights

The Directors may from time to time declare and pay or credit a dividend in accordance with the Corporations Act. Subject to any special right as to dividends attaching to a share, all dividends will be declared and paid according to the proportion of the dividend paid to the holder of a fully paid Share that the amount paid up on the Share bears to the total issue price of the Share (but any amount paid during the period in respect of which a dividend is declared only entitles the Shareholder to an apportioned amount of that dividend as from the date of payment). The Directors may from time to time pay or credit to the Shareholders such 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 from time to time grant to Shareholders or any class of shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares in the Company on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit. The Directors may, at their discretion, resolve in respect of any dividend which it is proposed to pay or to declare on any Shares of the Company, that holders of such Shares may elect to forgo their right to the whole or part of the proposed dividend and to receive instead an issue of Shares credited as fully paid to the extent and on the terms and conditions of the Constitution. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company such

Red Emperor Resources NL Prospectus

13

amounts as 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.

6.4 Winding‐Up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, 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, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories 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.

6.5 Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company 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 and the Listing Rules.

6.6 Future Increase in Capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the 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.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative, and involve investors being exposed to risk. The Directors strongly recommend potential applicants examine the contents of this Prospectus and 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) Risks associated with operations in Puntland, Somalia

The Company has a right to earn a 20% interest in each of the Puntland Projects, located in Puntland, Somalia which is a developing nation with associated political, economic and social risks to which the Company will be exposed.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Puntland, Somalia may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Company. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

Outcomes in courts in Puntland, Somalia may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiaries in Puntland, Somalia.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company. The Company has made its investment and strategic decisions based on the information currently available

to the Directors, however should there be any material change in the political, economic, legal and social environments in Puntland, Somalia, the Directors may reassess investment decisions and commitments to assets in Puntland, Somalia.

(b) Farm down of Jillewarra Project

The Company has entered into an agreement to farm down its interest in the Jillewarra Project, as announced to ASX on 26 November 2010. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has farmed down on its right to earn an initial 51% interest in the project to a 25% interest which is free carried to bankable feasibility, subject to Metal Bank Limited listing on ASX. There is a risk that in the event that Metal Bank Limited is unsuccessful at listing on ASX, then the Company will need to fund expenditure commitments to earn the initial 51% interest in the project.

(c) Georgian Heads of Agreement

The Company has entered into a Heads of Agreement pursuant to which the Company may earn a 20% interest in the Georgian Project. The parties intend to enter into a formal transaction documents setting out the full terms and conditions of the farm‐in. In the event that the formal transaction documents are not entered into, there is a risk that the Company may not earn an interest in the Georgian Project which may materially affect the financial performance of the Company.

(d) Risks associated with operations in the Republic of Georgia

The Company has a right to earn a 20% interest in the Georgian Project, located in the Republic of Georgia which is a developing nation with associated political, economic and social risks to which the Company will be exposed.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in the Republic of Georgia may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Company. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

Outcomes in courts in the Republic of Georgia may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or anysubsidiaries in the Republic of Georgia.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company. The Company has made its investment and strategic decisions based on the information currently available to the Directors, however should there be any material change in the political, economic, legal and social environments in the Republic of Georgia, the Directors may reassess investment decisions and commitments to assets inthe Republic of Georgia.

(e) Additional requirements for capital

The Directors expect that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to enable the Company to achieve its initial earn‐in commitments to the Puntland Projects and the Georgian Project.

However, the Directors can give no assurances that such objectives will in fact be met without future borrowings or capital raisings. 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 programs or enter into joint venture arrangements to reduce expenditure. If the Company is successful in meeting its initial objectives with respect to the either of the Puntland Projects and the Georgian Project, then additional capital will be required to further develop its operations and pursue business opportunities.

(f) Exploration risk

The business of mineral and petroleum exploration, project development and any future production which may be undertaken (subject to completion of the necessary resource definition, and feasibility studies) involves risks by its very nature. To prosper, it depends on the successful exploration appraisal and development of iron ore reserves. Operations, such as design and construction of efficient recovery and processing facilities, competent operational and managerial performance and efficient distribution and marketing services are required to be successful. In particular, exploration is a speculative endeavour whilst production operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances, engineering difficulties, cost overruns, inconsistent recovery rates and other unforeseen events.

The future exploration activities of the Company may not be successful. Unsuccessful exploration activities could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

(g) Environmental risk

The Company’s operations will be subject to various regulations in different jurisdictions regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous waste and materials. Development of any mineral or petroleum resources will be dependent on the project meeting environmental guidelines and gaining approvals by government authorities. Whilst the Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, risks arise in relation to compliance with these regulations and approvals. The introduction of more stringent regulations and conditions may also adversely affect the Company.

(h) Exchange rate risk

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral or petroleum production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of produce exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

Red Emperor Resources NL Prospectus

17

(i) Unforseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Notice. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

(j) Government policy changes and legal risk

Government action or policy change (in a jurisdictions in which the Company has an interest in a project) in relation to access to lands and infrastructure, compliance with environmental regulations, export restrictions, taxation, royalties and subsidies may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial performance.

(k) Competition

There is a risk that the Company will not be able to continue to compete profitably in the competitive industry in which it intends to operate. The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to the Company.

(l) Third party risks

The activities of the Company will require the involvement of a number of third parties, including suppliers, contractors and joint venture parties. Financial failure, default or contractual non‐compliance on the part of such third parties may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and performance. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against all such risks.

(m) Insurance

The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.

While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in assessing the creditworthiness of its insurance providers, there will remain the risk that an insurer defaults in payment of a legitimate claim by the Company under an insurance policy.

7.3 General Risks

(a) Economic Risks

General economic conditions, 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:

Red Emperor Resources NL Prospectus

18

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

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

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

  • (vi) 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) 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.

7.4 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 securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the securities 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 securities.

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