No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in the Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.
In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.
FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Failure to comply with these restrictions may violate securities laws. Applicants who are resident in countries other than Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed.
1
Foreign offer restrictions
This Prospectus may not be released or distributed outside Australia except to persons who subscribed for Options under the Offer who are resident in [New Zealand and Singapore].
Shareholders resident in Australia, [New Zealand or Singapore] holding Securities on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
This document does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in any other country. In particular, any securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws.
New Zealand
The Offer is being made in New Zealand pursuant to the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (NZ).
The Offer and the content of the Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act sets out how the Offer must be made.
There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law and the taxation treatment of Australian securities is not the same as for New Zealand securities.
Singapore
This document and any other materials relating to the Options have not been, and will not be, lodged or registered as a prospectus in Singapore with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this document and any other document or materials in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of securities, may not be issued, circulated or distributed, nor may the securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore except pursuant to and in accordance with exemptions in Subdivision (4) Division 1, Part XIII of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the "SFA"), or as otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of any other applicable provisions of the SFA.
This document has been given to you on the basis that you were (i) an existing holder of the Company’s options at the Record Date of the Offer, (ii) an “institutional investor” (as defined in the SFA) or (iii) a “relevant person (as defined in section 275(2) of the SFA). In the event that you are not an investor falling within this category set out above, please return this document immediately. You may not forward or circulate this document to any other person in Singapore.
Any offer is not made to you with a view to the Options being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire Options. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.
2
Currency Risk
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the Options is Australian dollars. The value of the Options will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and currencies in foreign jurisdictions. These changes may be significant.
General
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
As noted in the Prospectus at Section 3.8, the Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the Options offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the Options offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on the ASX. If you wish to trade the Options through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the Options on your behalf. As the ASX does not operate in [New Zealand or Singapore], the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in [New Zealand or Singapore].
RISK FACTORS
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Securities in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

-
(a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
-

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than [4.00pm] (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.
3.5 Minimum Subscription

3.6 Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
3.7 Shortfall
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall. Qualifying Optionholders who wish to apply for Options above their Entitlement can complete the relevant boxes on the Entitlement and Acceptance form accompanying this Prospectus and return it, together with a cheque for the value of those Shortfall Options (at $0.005 per Option) to the Company.
The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Prospectus. The issue price of any Options offered pursuant to the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.005 being the price at which the Entitlement has been offered to Qualifying Optionholders
7
pursuant to this Prospectus. The Shortfall shall be placed at the discretion of the Company within three (3) months after the Closing Date. The Company reserves the right to allot to an applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Options than the number for which the applicant applies, or to reject an application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall.
3.8
Australian Securities Exchange Listing
Application for official quotation by ASX of the Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If approval is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as modified by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Options and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.
3.9
Allotment of Options
Options issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Company will allot the Options on the basis of a Qualifying Optionholder’s Entitlement. Where the number of Options issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
Pending the allotment and issue of the Options or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
3.10 Overseas Qualifying Optionholders
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.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Qualifying Optionholders, the number and value of Securities these Qualifying Optionholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Qualifying Optionholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand or Singapore.
Qualifying Optionholders resident in New Zealand or Singapore should consult their professional advisors as to whether any government or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed, to enable them to exercise their Entitlements under the Offer.
8
3.11 Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Applicants. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
3.12 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to 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 a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Options 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.
3.13 Privacy Act
If you complete an application for Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of Options, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a holder of Options and carry out administration.
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 or its share registry 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 Options, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

5.2 Rights Attaching to Shares (being the underlying securities)
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares. Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s 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) Notice of Meetings
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of general meetings of the Company. Except in certain circumstances, Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to speak or to vote at general meetings of the Company or to join in demanding a poll. Shareholders may requisition general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.
(b) Voting
At a general meeting, on a show of hands, every person present who is either; a member, a proxy, an attorney or a representative of a Shareholder has one vote. At the taking of a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for each Share held.

6. RISK FACTORS
6.1 Introduction
Applicants should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Options. Potential Applicants should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Options 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 Company’s Securities.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
6.2 Risks Specific to the Company
(a) Completion of Acquisition of Interest in Angka Alamjaya Endirian Berhad (AASB)
The Company proposes, pursuant to a signed binding terms sheet, to acquire an interest in AASB, which is the registered holder of the Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine mining concession.
The completion of the proposed acquisition of the interest in AASB is subject to Shareholder approval and the execution of a binding acquisition and joint venture agreement by the Company and AASB.
(b) Recommisioning of Lubok Mandi’s Gold Mine In Peninsula Malaysia
The decision to commence recommissioning of the Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine is subject to detailed assessment of many risks including, but not limited to, metallurgical and mineralogical studies, implications of environmental and other local laws and approvals processes, economic and other technical and development factors.
Any commencement of the recommissioning of the Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine after assessment will continue to be subject to the risks stated above, and may be specifically exposed to risks associated with movements in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, changes to local laws and approvals during and after the development process, access to capital, and other technical and development implementation factors.
(c) Dilution Risk
On completion of the Offer, there will be a further 64,746,400 options on issue (assuming the Prospectus is fully subscribed and no other options are granted or exercised). If these Options are converted into shares there will be a dilutionary effect such that the existing Shareholders will hold 83% of the outstanding issued Shares. However, each Option has an exercise price of $0.035 which means that the Company will receive additional funds of up to approximately $2,266,124 upon exercise of the Options, if all Options are exercised.
18
(d) Future Capital Requirements
The Company’s ongoing activities will require substantial expenditure. There can be no guarantee that the funds raised through the Offer, will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.
The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
(e) Sovereign risk
The Company’s projects are subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.
6.3 Industry Specific Risks
(a) Operating Risks
The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:
-
(i) adverse geological conditions;
-
(ii) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;
-
(iii) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities;
-
(iv) mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment;
-
(v) industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;
-
(vi) unavailability of aircraft or drilling equipment to undertake airborne electromagnetic and other geological and geophysical investigations;
19
(vii) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and
- (viii) inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.
(b) Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks
The revenue the Company may derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in united States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australia dollar as determined in international markets.
(c) Mineral Resource Estimates Risk
Mineral Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(d) Native Title and Title Risks
Both the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), related State Native Title legislation and Aboriginal Land Rights and Aboriginal Heritage legislation may affect the Company’s ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas or obtain production titles.
Compensatory obligations may be necessary in settling Native Title claims if lodged over any tenements acquired by the Company. The existence of outstanding registered Native Title claims means that the grant of a tenement in respect of a particular tenement application may be significantly delayed or thwarted pending resolution of future act procedures in the Native Title Act. The level of impact of these matters will depend, in part, on the location and status of the tenements acquired by the Company. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the impact (if any) which these developments may have on the operations of the Company.
(e) Environmental Risks and Regulations
The Company’s projects are subject to Commonwealth and State laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mining projects, these
20
projects would be expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed.
The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. Areas disturbed by the Company’s activities will be rehabilitated as required by the conditions attaching to the Tenements.
(f) Legislative changes, Government policy and approvals
Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. For example, any increased expenditure requirements under local mining regulations may impact on the Company's actual financial statements. The Company's capacity to explore and mine, in particular the Company' ability to explore and mine any reserves, may be affected by changes in government policy, which are beyond the control of the Company.
(g) Reliance on Key Personnel and Employees
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 of one or more of these employees cease their employment.
(h) Force Majeure
The Company’s 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 or quarantine restrictions.
(i) Exploration
The mineral tenements of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
(j) Mine development
Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.
If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement of hazardous weather
21
conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore.
(k) Tenure and access
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.
Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements 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.
6.4 General Risks
The value of the Company’s securities are affected by a number of general factors which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors including those set out below.
(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 future production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Further, 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) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
(b) Market conditions
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 and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
22
(c) Security Investments
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of the Company’s performance.
Exploration in itself is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overruns for unforeseen events.
(d) Dividends
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
(e) 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 an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC 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 “transaction specific prospectuses” are 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 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 ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by 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 the 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 the 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 financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;
-
(ii) any half year financial statements of the Company lodged with ASIC since the lodgement of the last financial statements for
24
the year ended 30 June 2012 lodged with ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
- (iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
