3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders

On behalf on Gold Mountain Limited (Company), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a renounceable pro rata offer available to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one new Share for every three Shares held at an issue price of $0.02 per new Share, to raise up to approximately $5.12 million (Offer).

The Offer represents a discount of 37% to the last price of $0.032 and 49% to the 90 day volume weighted average price of $0.0395 prior to the Company going into trading halt for the Offer on 17 June 2021. Mahe Capital Pty Limited has underwritten the Offer for $2.05 million.

For every 3 new Shares subscribed, investors will also receive one New Option exercisable at $0.04 each on or before 18 months from issue. The Company will also seek to have the New Options listed on the ASX. Shareholders have the opportunity to apply for additional Shares, in excess of their Entitlement. Directors have agreed to participate and sub-underwrite for a total of $643,003.

On completion, the Company to be debt free.

The funds raised will be applied to advancing the Company’s projects and prospects within the Wabag Project in PNG through:

  • The commencement of a 6,000-8,000m targeted drilling program in the highly prospective Mt Wipi target area

  • Conducting a detailed airborne geophysical survey (100m x 100m spacing). This will provide a better understanding of the structural geology allowing for enhanced target generation and better targeting of the drilling program.

  • Compilation and review of the extensive geological data for the highly prospective Monoyal and Sak Creek target areas with specific focus on Lombokai Creek

  • Continued Regional exploration works programme

Funds raised will also be used to repay debt and for general working capital.

The risks associated with this offer are detailed in section 6 and include exploration risks, risks in operating in Papua New Guinea and other risks ordinarily associated with junior exploration companies exploring for copper and gold, and share market risks.

On behalf of all Directors, I invite you to consider this investment opportunity as the Company embarks on its growth strategy.

Yours sincerely

1 Under the terms of subscription agreements announced to ASX on 16 November 2020 the Company has agreed to, if its Share price falls below a 10 day VWAP of $0.055 and at the investors’ request at any time between 6 and 24 months from when the agreement was entered, issue further Shares to the investors to adjust for the lower Share price. The adjustments will reflect the number of Shares that would have been issued at the time of the placement if the Share price was equal to the greater of the 10 day VWAP at the time of the adjustment and $0.03. Up to a maximum 32,424,243 additional Shares can be issued if the adjustment notices are given. To date no notices have been given. See the Company’s announcement dated 16 November 2020 for further information.

The Company will also issue the Underwriter four New Options for every $1.00 raised under the Offer. See section 8.4 for details.

The Company reserves the right to issue further securities in conjunction with the Offer using its existing 15% capacity.

Certain of the Options on issue contain a term that provides for the adjustment of the exercise price following a pro rata issue, including the Offer. The Company will announce the change in the exercise price as soon as practicable.

5.5

Effect on control

There will be no effect on control of the Company if all Shareholders take up their Entitlement.

As the Offer is renounceable and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7.1(c), the Company has appointed Mahe Capital as nominee to arrange for the sale of the entitlements that would have been given to Ineligible Shareholders and to account to them for the net proceeds of the sale.

Given the structure of the Offer and underwriting, the Directors do not believe that there will be any material effect on control of the Company as a result of the Offer.

5.6 Dilution

Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will have their holdings diluted. Following is a table which sets out the dilutionary effect, assuming the full amount is raised and no further Shares are issued or Options exercised:

6 RISK FACTORS

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

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are 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 New Shares. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

6.1 Company specific risks

The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the future operating and financial performance of the Company. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company. The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can be effectively managed is limited.

(a) Exploration Risks

Funds raised from the Offer will be used, amongst other things for exploration to continue at its Wabag Project in PNG. The Company has conducted exploration programmes on the Wabag Project since it was acquired in 2014. A significant risk for the Company is that the proposed exploration programs will not result in exploration success. Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk endeavour and consequently there can be no assurance that the exploration program described in this Prospectus will result in discovery of an economic mineral deposit.

Should a mineral discovery be made, there is no guarantee that it will be commercially viable. Only a small percentage of individual exploration projects result in the discovery of viable economic deposits, and there are substantial development and operational risks to overcome before a commercial mine may be established.

While the Directors will make every effort to reduce these risks through their experience in the exploration industry, commercially viable mineral discoveries are very much the exception rather than the rule.

(b) Dilution

The Company is a party to subscription agreement(s) under which it has, in the event its Share price is below the issue price of $0.055, agreed to issue further Shares up to a maximum of 32,424,243 Shares (see section 5.4 of this Prospectus and the Company’s announced dated 16 November 2020). There is a risk that this may occur, which will dilute other Shareholders.

  • (c) PNG Government and Stakeholder Equity

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

13

PNG Government policy provides the State with the right (expressed as a condition in each exploration licence), but not the obligation, to take up an equity position in any future mining project. It has the right to purchase an interest of up to 30% in a mineral discovery at the pro rata accumulated exploration cost. If the PNG Government elects not to take up its rights in full, it may exercise this right to a limited extent.

(d) Licence renewal

Six of the Company’s 9 tenements are currently subject to renewal. Whilst the Company has complied with its tenement obligations and has no reason to believe that any of the tenements will not be renewed, there is a risk that some or all may not be renewed. The company has renewed these tenements previously with full support of the local community and the government.

(e) Joint venture

The Company holds a 70% interest in 4 of its tenements. The interest with respect to EL1966, 1967 and 1968 is held via holding 70% of the issued share capital of a Papua New Guinian company (PNGCo) that holds the tenements. The Company’s rights as a shareholder are determined by PNGCo’s constitution and Papua New Guinian company law. Although the Company is a majority shareholder, there is a risk of dispute with the minority shareholders of PNGCo. Such disputes are subject to Papua New Guinian law, which is less certain than Australian law.

The Company holds a 70% interest in EL2306. Save for a pre-emptive right over the 30% interest, the Company and the party holding the remaining 30% interest have not agreed terms on managing the tenement, and as a result their rights and obligations are subject to Papuan New Guinea law.

(f) Going Concern Risk

The Company’s 2021 half yearly financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the half year ended 31 December 2020, the Company incurred net cash outflows of $2,152,722 (2019: net cash outflows of $2,455,591).

Whilst the Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company and Group will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of applicable factors, there is a risk that the factors may not eventuate.

(g) Operating Risk

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors outside its control. Funds raised under the Offer are intended to be used to conduct exploration programs at the Wabag Project in PNG. The operations of the Company may be affected by failure to establish sufficient quantity or grade of Resources to justify the proposed development of a mine at one of the prospects that comprise the Wabag Project. Operations may also be impacted by unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect eventual extraction costs, possible seismic activity, operational and technical difficulties encountered in drilling and exploration, operating and maintaining plant and equipment, mechanical failure, industrial and environmental accidents, labour

shortages, industrial and environmental disputes, obtaining government approvals, extreme weather events such as flooding, heatwaves, bushfires, droughts and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment or labour.

These risks and hazards could also result in damage to or destruction of property, plant and equipment, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. The Company may become subject to liability for accidents, pollution or other hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of premium costs or for other reasons, or in amounts which exceed policy limits.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through exploration success and exploitation of its projects and, until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operational losses.

(h) Sovereign Risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the Government in PNG will remain stable or supportive of the mining and resources sector and existing ownership structures. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee ongoing access and surety of title and tenure of its PNG assets. Outcomes in Courts in PNG may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiary in PNG.

  • (i) Government Policies and Legislation Risk

Any material adverse changes in government policies, legislation or shifts in political attitude in PNG that affect mineral exploration activities, tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability of a project, projects or the Company.

No assurance can be given that amendments to current laws and regulations or new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could substantially limit or affect the Company's exploration, development, and operating activities.

(j) Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risk

The Company's PNG projects are prospective for, inter alia, copper, gold, molybdenum and silver. The market price of these commodities fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major metal producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates. Fluctuations in commodity prices may impact on the commercial attractiveness or viability of the Company's projects.

Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars and the Company's cost base will likely be comprised primarily be a combination of United States dollars, Australian dollars, and PNG kina. Consequently, changes in these exchange rates may impact on the expenditure of the Company and the Company's purchasing capacity. The exchange rate is affected

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

15

by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

(k)

Environmental Risk

The Company's projects are subject to PNG laws and regulations concerning the environment. The Company's activities are expected to have some impact on the environment, particularly if mine development occurs in the future. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

The Company will, in future, require additional approval from authorities before it can undertake mining activities that will impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals may prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws and regulations would materially increase the Company's costs of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

6.2 Industry Risk

(a) Mining and Exploration Risk

The business of mineral exploration, development and production is subject to risk by its nature. The success of the business depends, inter alia, on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to concessions and tenements, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining are speculative undertakings which may be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems. Increased costs, lower output or high operating costs may all contribute to make a project less profitable than expected at the time of the development decision. There is no assurance that the Company's attempts to exploit its exploration activities will be successful.

The Company's exploration activities to date are not advanced to a stage where reliable reserve or resource estimates can be made. Reserve and resource estimates, if made in the future, are judgments based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Ore estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and, thus, estimations may prove inaccurate.

The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known until mining takes place, and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop reserves. Further, reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual reserves and resources may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect.

No assurance can be given that commercial tonnages, grades or recovery will be achieved or realised. Commodity price fluctuations, increased production costs, or reduced recovery rates, may render possible reserves containing relatively lower

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

16

grades uneconomic and may result in a restatement of such reserves. Moreover, short-term operating factors relating to possible reserves, such as sequential development of ore bodies and processing of new or different ore types or grades, may cause mining operations to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

There is a risk that unforeseen geological and geotechnical difficulties may be encountered if and when developing and mining reserves. In this event, a loss of revenue may be caused by lower than expected production and/or higher than anticipated operation and maintenance costs, and/or on-going unplanned capital expenditure in order to meet production targets.

  • (b) Economic and Government Risks

Economic and legislative changes in PNG may affect the future viability of the Company. The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting the performance of all industries, not just the exploration and mining industries. These factors include, but are not limited to:

  • (i) General economic conditions in PNG and their respective major trading partners.

  • (ii) Changes in government policies, taxation and other laws.

  • (iii) The strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards PNG and the commodities (resources) sector.

  • (iv) Movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates.

  • (v) Natural disasters, social upheaval or war in PNG and other countries.

Industry profitability can be affected by changes in government within PNG and other jurisdictions, which are outside the control of the Company. The Company's activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration for and mining of minerals, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. Permits from regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. There is no assurance that permits will be obtained when sought or that unfavourable conditions will not be imposed. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in development of the Company's tenements, the extent of which cannot be predicted.

  • (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 involvement with the Company.

(d) Insurance

Insurance of all risks associated with exploration or project development is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company's needs.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

17

The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as extreme weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties, buildings, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company seeks to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, insurance will not always be available or cover all the potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration, development or production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

6.3 General Risk

(a) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Company’s securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for mining and exploration companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Company’s securities regardless of the Company's operational performance.

(b) Share Market Conditions

Share market conditions may affect the price of the Company's securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) General economic outlook.

  • (ii) Interest rates and inflation rates.

  • (iii) Currency fluctuations.

  • (iv) Mineral price fluctuations.

  • (v) Changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors and the domicile of projects.

  • (vi) The demand for, and supply of, capital.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

18

  • (vii) Terrorism or other hostilities.

  • (viii) Other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The market price of the Company's securities may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource 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) Economic Risk

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross domestic product in PNG or any other country in which the Company operates, interest rates, exchange rates and the rate of inflation.

(d) Competition Risk

The Company will compete with other companies, including other mineral exploration and mining companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and produce other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

6.4 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 the Prospectus.

The Securities offered 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.

However, an Applicant will not be treated as having applied for more Shares than is indicated by the amount of the application monies received by the Company.

8.9 Treatment of Ineligible Shareholders and sale for Ineligible Shareholders’ Entitlement

Given the cost of complying with applicable regulations outside Australia and New Zealand, the Company has decided that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. The Prospectus will not be sent to those Shareholders.

States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7.1(c), the Company has appointed the Lead Manager as nominee to arrange for the sale of the Ineligible Shareholders' Entitlements and to account to them for the net proceeds of the sale (if any). The net proceeds of sale (in Australian dollars) will be distributed to the Ineligible Shareholder for whose benefits the Rights have been sold in proportion to their shareholdings as at the Record Date (after deducting the costs of the sale).

Ineligible Shareholders who wish to apply for Shortfall Shares and where it is lawful to do so should contact the Company Secretary on +61 2 9261 1583 or +61 403 551 819 or [email protected].

8.10 Beneficial holders, nominees, trustees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. 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. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

8.11 Allotment and application money

New Shares will be issued only after all application money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares to be quoted. It is expected that New Shares will be issued on 16 August 2021 and normal trading of the New Shares on ASX is expected to commence on 17 August 2021.

All application monies will be deposited into a bank account separate to the Company and held in trust for Applicants until the Shares are issued or application monies returned. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company and will not be paid to Applicants.

8.12 Quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for quotation of the New Shares and New Options offered by this Prospectus (together the Offered Securities) on ASX. If ASX does not grant permission for the quotation of the Offered Securities within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as modified by ASIC, none of the Offered Securities offered by this Prospectus will be allotted or issued. In these circumstances, all Applications will be dealt with in accordance with the Corporations Act including the return of all application monies without interest.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

28

A decision by ASX to grant official quotation of the Offered Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of ASX's view as to the merits of the Company or of the Offered Securities.

Quotation, if granted, of the Offered Securities offered by this Prospectus will commence as soon as practicable after statements of holdings of the Offered Securities are dispatched.

8.13 Market prices of existing Shares on ASX

The highest and lowest market sale price of the existing Shares, which are on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares being offered under this Prospectus, during the 3 months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC, and the last market sale price on the date before the lodgement date of this Prospectus, are set out below.

3 month high 3 month low Last market sale price
Price ($) $0.045 $0.031 $0.032
Date 24 May 2021 17 June 2021 17 June 2021

8.14 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System ( CHESS ). CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ( ASPL ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX.

Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to investors. Instead, security holders will receive a statement of their holdings in the Company, including New Shares issued under this Prospectus. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASPL will send a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under this Prospectus, 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 this Prospectus 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.

8.15 Taxation and duty implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Eligible Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Eligible Shareholders applying for New Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Eligible Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Eligible Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

29

No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Applicants in respect of Applications for New Shares under this Prospectus.

8.16 Privacy

The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes of processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant’s security holding in the Company.

By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the Share Registry, the Company’s related body corporates, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and regulatory authorities.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about the Shareholder (including name, address and details of the Shares held) in its public register. The information contained in the Company’s public register must remain there even if that person ceases to be a Shareholder. Information contained in the Company’s register is also used to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications (including the Company’s financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may wish to communicate to its security holders) and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements.

If you do not provide the information required on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application. An Applicant has the right to gain access to the information that the Company holds about that person subject to certain exceptions under law. A fee may be charged for access. Such requests must be made in writing to the Company’s registered office.

8.17 Enquiries

Any queries regarding the Offer should be directed to the Company Secretary on +61 2 9261 1583 or +61 403 551 819 or [email protected].

You can also contact your stockbroker or professional adviser with any queries in relation to the Offer.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution which is available at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

  • (a) General meetings

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

30

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

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

  • (b) Voting rights

(c) Payment of Dividend

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the rights of any persons entitled to shares with special rights to dividend, the Directors may determine that a dividend is payable, fix the amount and the time for payment of the dividend and authorise the payment or crediting of the dividend by the Company to, or at the direction of, each Shareholder entitled to that dividend. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

(d) 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.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to the Constitution and to any restrictions attached to a Share, a Shareholder may transfer any of the Shareholder's Shares by:

  • (i) a proper ASTC transfer;

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

31

(f) Future increase in capital

The allotment and issue of any 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.

(g) Variation of rights

Under Section 2468 of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

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

(h) Changes to Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations and the Listing Rules.

(j) Dividend Policy

The Company does not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to payment of dividends by the Company will be at the sole 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.

9.2 Rights and liability attaching to Options

The summary is qualified by the full terms and conditions of the Constitution and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of holders of New Options. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

  • (d) Expiry Date

(m) New Options Transferable

The New Options are transferable.

(n) Change in Exercise Price

(p) Adjustment for Bonus Issue of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

(i) The number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a New Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the New Option holder would have received if the New Option holder had exercised the New Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (ii) there will be no adjustment to the Exercise Price of a New Option.

10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1 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. The New Shares which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the Official List during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

34

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

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

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of the ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the period from lodgement of the Company’s annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 to the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify the ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of the ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by the ASX.

The Company confirms that, to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisers to expect to find the information in this Prospectus, there is no information

  • (a) that has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with ASX Listing Rules; and

  • (b) that investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

  • (i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and

  • (ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares.

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:

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

35

  • (i) the annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and

  • (ii) any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be obtained free of charge from the Company’s registered office during normal office hours or from asx.com.au.

10.2 Directors’ interests

As at the date of this Prospectus the Directors have a relevant interest in securities of the Company and are entitled to be paid the following annual remuneration as set out below.

Syed Hizam Pay Chuan Steven Timothy
Alsagoff (Paul) Lim Larkins Cameron
Annual Remuneration $12,000 $12,000 $12,000 $212,000
(excluding compulsory
superannuation)
Shares 50,000,000 19,915,334 500,000 1,818,462
Entitlement (New Shares)
16,666,666
6,638,444 166,666 606,140

Mr Larkins was appointed a casual director on 12 July 2021. In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, Mr Larkins will retire at the Company’s next annual general meeting and be eligible for re-election.

Further information on the remuneration and other benefits received by the Directors over the last two years is set out in the Company’s 2019 and 2020 annual reports; copies of which are available from www.asx.com.au.

Messrs Alsagoff and Lim are resident in Malaysia and are Ineligible Shareholders. They have agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer for $122,003 and $521,000 respectively. They will not receive any underwriting fee, and are therefore sub-underwriting on terms less favourable than other sub-underwriters. For that reason, Messrs Cameron and Larkins have determined that Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the giving of the financial benefit as a result of the sub-underwriting.

The Constitution provides that the Directors may be paid for their services as Directors. Nonexecutive Directors may only be paid a sum not exceeding such fixed sum per annum as may be determined by the Company in general meeting, to be divided among the Non-executive Directors and in default of agreement then in equal shares.

The Company also pays premiums to insure all of the Directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending legal proceedings arising from their conduct whilst acting in the capacity as a Director of the Company.

Other than as set out above or elsewhere in this Prospectus, no Director or proposed Director holds at the date of this Prospectus, or held at any time during the last 2 years before the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC, any interest in:

  • (a) the formation or promotion of the Company; or

  • (b) any property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion of the Company or the Offer; or

  • (c) the Offer,

and no amounts have been paid or agreed to be paid and no benefits have been given or agreed to be given:

Prospectus – Gold Mountain Limited

39

  • (d) to a Director or proposed Director or to any firm which any such Director is a partner, to induce him or her to become, or to qualify as, a Director; or

  • (e) for services provided by a Director or proposed Director or to any firm which any such Director is a partner, in connection with the formation or promotion of the Company or the Offer.

10.3 Interests of promoters and named persons

Except as disclosed in this Prospectus, no expert, promoter or any other person named in this Prospectus as performing a function in a professional advisory or other capacity in connection with the preparation or distribution of the Prospectus, nor any firm in which any of those persons is or was a partner nor any company in which any of those persons is or was associated with, has now, or has had, in the 2 year period ending on the date of this Prospectus, any interest in:

  • (a) the formation or promotion of the Company; or

  • (b) property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion or the Offer; or

  • (c) the Offer.

Mahe Capital Pty Limited has acted as lead manager to the Offer. The fees to be paid for this service are set out in section 8.4. Mahe Capital Pty Limited has not received any fees or services to the Company in the 2 years prior to the date of this Prospectus.

Atkinson Corporate Lawyers has acted as solicitor to the Offer. In respect of this work, the Company will pay approximately $25,000 exclusive of GST. Subsequently fees will be paid in accordance with normal hourly rates. Atkinson Corporate Lawyers has not received any fees for services to the Company in the 2 years prior to the date of this Prospectus.

10.4 Consents

Each of the persons referred to in this section:

  • (a) has given and has not, before the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC withdrawn their written consent:

  • (i) to be named in the Prospectus in the form and context which it is named; and

  • (b) has not caused or authorised the issue of this Prospectus;

  • (c) has not made any statement in this Prospectus or any statement on which a statement in this Prospectus is based, other than specified below;

  • (d) to the maximum extent permitted by law, expressly disclaims all liability in respect of, makes no representation regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any part of this Prospectus, other than the references to their name and the statement(s) and/or report(s) (if any) specified below and included in this Prospectus with the consent of that person.

  • 2 This table assumes that the Underwritten Amount is subscribed for and, under the Full Subscription scenario, all Shortfall Shares are placed by the Company and not the Lead Manager.

10.6 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus and other than as disclosed to ASX or set out below, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings of a material nature and the Directors are not aware of any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

Whilst undertaking due diligence for the Offer, the Company became aware that certain Shares issued without disclosure since 2013 ( Tainted Shares ) had not be “cleansed” through the giving of a cleansing notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act or a “cleansing prospectus” under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act. Some Tainted Shares had been sold, and on 30 June 2021 the Company applied to the Federal Court for orders to validate the sales.

On 2 July 2021 the Honourable Justice Jackson made orders validating the sales of Tainted Shares issued after July 2014. A copy of the orders was announced to ASX on 5 July 2021.

On 13 July 2021 the Honourable Justice Jackson made orders validating the sales of Tainted Shares issued prior to July 2014. A copy of the orders will be announced to ASX on 14 July 2021.
