Section 5.2
Question Response Where to find more
information
The Company reserves the right to vary the way funds
are applied.
What are the
key risks of a
subscription
under the
Entitlement
Offer?
An investment in the Company has risks that you should
consider before making a decision to invest. Please
carefully consider these risks and the information
contained in other sections of this Prospectus before
deciding whether or not to apply for New Options.
These risks include:
Exploration risk
The mineral mining licenses of the Company are at
various stages of exploration, and potential investors
should understand that mineral exploration and
development are high-risk undertakings. There can be
no assurance that exploration of these mining licenses,
or any other mining licenses that may be acquired in the
future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore
deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is
identified, there is no guarantee that it can be
economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be
affected by a range of factors including geological
conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal
weather
patterns,
unanticipated
operational
and
technical difficulties, industrial and environmental
accidents, native title process, changing government
regulations, mill capacity availability and many other
factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the
Company having access to sufficient development
capital, being able to maintain title to its mining licenses
and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In
the event that exploration programmes prove to be
unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value
of the mining licenses, a reduction in the case reserves
of the Company and possible relinquishment of the
mining licenses.
The exploration costs of the Company are based on
certain assumptions with respect to the method and
timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates
and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties
and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ
from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the
underlying assumptions will be realised in practice,
which may materially and adversely affect the
Company’s viability.
Operational risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by
various factors which are beyond the control of the
Company, including failure to locate or identify mineral
deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in
exploration or mining, operational and technical
difficulties encountered in exploration, difficulties in
commissioning or operating plant and equipment or
Section 6
Question Response Where to find more
information
mechanical failure which may affect extraction costs,
adverse weather conditions, environmental accidents,
industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or
increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts,
plant and equipment, fire, explosions and other
incidents beyond the control of the Company.
These risks and hazards could also result in damage to,
or
destruction
of,
equipment,
personal
injury,
environmental damage, business interruption and
possible legal liability. While the Company currently
intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage
consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be
given that the Company will be able to obtain such
insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or
that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and
available to cover any such claims.
Fluctuations in gold prices
The price of gold and other minerals fluctuates widely
and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control
of the Company such as industrial and retail supply and
demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in
global economies, confidence in the global monetary
system, forward sales of metals by producers and
speculators as well as other global or regional political,
social or economic events. Future serious price declines
in the market value of gold could cause the continued
development of, and eventually the commercial
production from, the Company’s projects and the
Company’s
other
properties
to
be
rendered
uneconomic. Depending on the price of gold the
Company could be forced to discontinue production or
development and may lose its interest in, or may be
forced to sell, some of its properties. There is no
assurance that, even as commercial quantities of gold is
produced, a profitable market will exist for it.
In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates
of the Company and its financial condition, declining
commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a
reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project.
Such a reassessment may be the result of a
management decision or may be required under
financing arrangements related to a particular project.
Even if a project is ultimately determined to be
economically viable, the need to conduct such a
reassessment may cause substantial delays or may
interrupt operations until the reassessment can be
completed.
Future capital needs
Additional funding may be required in the event costs
exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively
implement its business and operational plans in the
future to take advantage of opportunities for acquisition,
joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to
meet any unanticipatedliabilities orexpenseswhichthe
Question Response Where to find more
information
Company may incur. If such events occur, additional
funding will be required.
The Company may seek to raise further funds through
equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing
arrangements, or other means. Failure to obtain
sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and
future projects may result in delay and indefinite
postponement of the Company’s activities and potential
development programs. There can be no assurance that
additional finance will be available when needed or, if
available, the terms of the financing may not be
favourable to the Company and might involve
substantial dilution to shareholders.
COVID-19 risk
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19)
was identified in Wuhan, China. On 11 March 2020, the
World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a
pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in
the
implementation
of
governmental
measures,
including closures, quarantines and travel bans,
intended to control the spread of the virus.
The Directors are constantly monitoring the situation
and, as at the date of this Prospectus, COVID-19 has
not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse
effect on the Company’s exploration activities and
financial performance.
However, in the event that the Federal Government or
Western
Australian
Government
implement
any
increase in containment measures in response to the
ongoing pandemic, this may prevent the Company, and
other business partners, from conducting business
activities for periods of time and may impact on the
Company’s ability undertake exploration activities and
could cause delays to future work program activities.
Such measures taken in response to COVID-19 may
adversely impact the Company’s operations and are
likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
Further, the outbreak of COVID-19 is impacting global
economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect
of the outbreak on the performance of the Company
remains unknown. The Company’s share price may be
adversely affected in the short to medium term by the
economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
Quotation risk
The quotation of the New Options is conditional on the
Company satisfying ASX requirements for quotation of
a new class of securities (which includes, among other
things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Options on
issue, with at least 50 holders holding a marketable
parcel). The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation
to the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an
indication of the merits of the Company or the New
Options now offered for subscription. The Company
makesno guarantee that any suchapplication for
Question Response Where to find more

sufficiently before the Record Date to ensure they

control of the Company. However in the event that the
New Options are exercised this may impact on the
control of the Company. Any such exercise of New
Options would need to be in accordance with the
provisions of the Corporations Act.

6. RISK FACTORS

This section identifies the major risks the Board has identified regarding an investment in the Company. The Company’s business is subject to risk factors, both specific to its business activities, and risks of a general nature. Individually, or in combination, these might affect the future operating performance of the Company and the value of an investment in the Company. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements will be achieved. An investment in the Company should be considered in light of relevant risks, both general and specific. Each of the risks set out below could, if it eventuates, have a material adverse impact on the Company’s prospects, and the market price of its Securities.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential investors should:

  • (a) read the entire Prospectus;

  • (b) consider the assumptions underlying any forward looking statements;

  • (c) review these factors in light of their personal circumstances; and

  • (d) seek professional advice from their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.

6.2 Risk specific to the Offer

(a) Assessment of stamp duty

Following the acquisition of Cascade Resources Limited in 2017 ( Acquisition ), the Company paid stamp duty in accordance with the Duties Act 2008 (WA). Subsequently, the Office of State Revenue ( OSR ) has given notice to the Company that it had reassessed the value of the Acquisition and advised the Company that, in the view of the OSR, additional duty and penalties may be payable on the Acquisition.

The Company has questioned this reassessment and, following submissions to the Commissioner, a new designated valuation of the transaction is being undertaken. The ultimate duty payable will be dependent on the value provided under this new valuation and on acceptance of that value by the OSR which may result in the payment of additional duty (and associated penalties) on the Acquisition, at a level to be determined.

There is a risk that the Company’s liability for stamp duty may be higher than the amount paid to date and if this is the case, it may be necessary for the Company to raise additional funding to meet this liability. There is no guarantee such funds will be able to be raised and if so on what terms.

(b) COVID-19 risk

In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of governmental measures, including closures, quarantines and travel bans, intended to control the spread of the virus.

The Directors are constantly monitoring the situation and, as at the date of this Prospectus, COVID-19 has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s exploration activities and financial performance.

However, in the event that the Federal Government or Western Australian Government implement any increase in containment measures in response to the ongoing pandemic, this may prevent the Company, and other business partners, from conducting business activities for periods of time and may impact on the Company’s ability undertake exploration activities and could cause delays to future work program activities. Such measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

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

(c) Financial markets risks

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions may be 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) commodity price fluctuations;

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

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

  • (vii) 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 mining securities in particular. Neither the Company, nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(d) Mineral Resource estimates

The interpretation of exploration results and Mineral Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally made may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, exploration results and Mineral 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.

The inclusion of Mineral Resource estimates should not be regarded as a representation that these amounts can be economically exploited and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Mineral Resource estimates, particularly Inferred Mineral Resource estimates, are highly uncertain.

Mineral Resources that lie solely within the “Inferred” category are in the lowest resource categorisation under the JORC Code. According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code, “the Inferred category is intended to cover situations where a mineral concentration or occurrence has been identified and limited measurements and sampling completed, but where the data are insufficient to allow the geological and/or grade continuity to be confidently interpreted. Commonly, it would be reasonable to expect that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources would upgrade to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. However, due to the uncertainty of Inferred Mineral Resources, it should not be assumed that such upgrading will always occur. Confidence in the estimate of Inferred Mineral Resources is usually not sufficient to allow the results of the application of technical and economic parameters to be used for detailed planning. For this reason, there is no direct link from an Inferred Mineral Resource to any category of Ore Reserves. Caution should be exercised if this category is considered in technical and economic studies.”

Consequently, Mineral Resource estimates are often regularly revised based on actual production experience or new information and are therefore expected to change. Furthermore, should Torian encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, Torian’s Mineral Resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans, processing and infrastructure may have to be altered in a way that might adversely affect Torian’s operations. Moreover, a decline in the price of gold, increases in production costs, decreases in recovery rates or changes in applicable laws and regulations, including environment, permitting, title or tax regulations, that are adverse to Torian, may mean the volumes of mineralisation that Torian can feasibly extract may be significantly lower than the Mineral Resource estimates indicated in this Prospectus.

If it is determined that mining of certain of Torian’s Mineral Resources or any Ore Reserves derived from them have become uneconomic, this may ultimately lead to a reduction in the

quantity of Torian’s aggregate Mineral Resources being mined, or result in Torian deciding not to proceed with the project.

If the Company’s actual Mineral Resources are less than current estimates, its prospects, value, business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

(e) Exploration risk

The mineral mining licenses of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of these mining licenses, or any other mining licenses that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

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

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

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(f) Metallurgy

Mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable product;

  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a product; and

  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the deposit can result in inconsistent recovery, affecting the economic viability of a project.

(g) Operational risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration or mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in exploration, difficulties in commissioning or operating plant and equipment or mechanical failure which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, equipment, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

(h) Fluctuations in gold prices

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

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

(i)

Native Title

The mining tenements in which the Company holds, or intends to acquire, an interest extend over areas in which legitimate native title rights of indigenous Australians exist. The ability of the Company to gain access to some or all of the mining tenements and to conduct exploration development and mining operations remains subject to native title rights and the terms of registered native title agreements.

The right to negotiate process under Native Title matters can result in significant delays to the implementation of any project or stall it. Negotiated native title agreements may adversely impact on the economics of projects depending on the nature of any commercial terms agreed.

(j)

Aboriginal Heritage

The Company must comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which include the requirement to conduct heritage survey work prior to the commencement of operations.

The Company is aware of various areas of indigenous significance and Aboriginal heritage sites of considerable cultural value both to the local indigenous communities and the broader community generally. These heritage sites require the Company to comply with the Aboriginal Heritage Act in respect of any ground disturbing activities. Prior to commencing significant ground disturbing activities, including mining, the Company will need to consult with local traditional owners regarding the likely impact that the proposed activities may have on such areas.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to deal with the above issues in a satisfactory or timely manner and accordingly such issues may increase the proposed time periods for the conduct of the Company's proposed activities and also limit the Company's ability to conduct its proposed activities on the tenements including ultimately commencing mining operations.

(k) Tenement title

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

The tenements (including tenements in which the Company may acquire an interest in the future), will be subject to applications for renewal or exemption from expenditure (as the case may be). The renewal or exemption from expenditure for a tenement is usually determined at the discretion of the relevant government authority.

If a tenement is not renewed or granted an exemption from expenditure, the Company may suffer damage through loss of opportunity to develop and discover minerals on that tenement.

(l) Environmental

Exploration and mining activities on tenements are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental impact matters and the discharge or emission of wastes and materials to the environment. As with all mineral projects, the Company's activities on the Tenement are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts. The Company's activities on the Tenement will be subject to the satisfaction of environmental guidelines and requisite approvals from applicable government authorities.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications for the Company.

In addition, the cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Environmental matters applicable to the Company’s tenements are within the remit of Commonwealth (and potentially State) authorities, including under legislation in the form of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) ( EPBC Act ). The Company will need to seek pre-approval on environmental matters for any mining operations and the Environmental Protection Authority will, among other things, assess the impact of proposed activities on flora and fauna and matters of national environmental significance under the EPBC Act as part of an accredited assessment. The Company understands that the Company’s tenements area is likely to contain matters of national environmental significance including threatened and endangered fauna.

The assessment process under the EPBC Act requires approval of the Commonwealth (and potentially State) authorities and there is no fixed time for the process to complete. Significant delays in the process can potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operations and affect the Company’s ability to pursue the projects. In addition, there is no guarantee that the assessments undertaken by these authorities will be favourable or the approvals sought will be granted. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities and this will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operations.

Future legislation and regulations governing mineral exploration and production may impose significant environmental obligations on the Company. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

(m) Future capital needs

Additional funding may be required in the event costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operational plans in the future to take advantage of opportunities for acquisition, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. If such events occur, additional funding will be required.

The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements, or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of the Company’s activities and potential development programs. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing may not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to shareholders.

(n) Reliance on key personnel and ability to recruit additional personnel

The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

(o) Quotation risk

The quotation of the New Options is conditional on the Company satisfying ASX requirements for quotation of a new class of securities (which includes, among other things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Options on issue, with at least 50 holders holding a marketable parcel). The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Options now offered for subscription. The Company makes no guarantee that any such application for quotation will be successful. If the application for quotation is unsuccessful, none of the New Options offered by this Prospectus will be allotted or issued.

6.3 General Investment Risks

  • (a) Economic and government risks

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the mining industry including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (i) general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (ii) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (iii) the interpretation of taxation laws by the relevant taxation authority differing from the Company's interpretation;

  • (iv) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the mining industry;

  • (v) movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and

  • (vi) natural disasters, industrial disputes, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

  • (b) Risk of litigation, claims and disputes

The Company is exposed to the risk of actual or threatened litigation or legal disputes in the form of claims by joint venture partners, personal injury and property damage claims, environmental and indemnity claims, employee claims and other litigation and disputes. There is a risk that such litigation, claims and disputes could materially and adversely affect the Company's operating and financial performance due to the cost of defending and/or settling such claims, and could affect the Company's reputation.

(c) Management of risk

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

(d) Investment risk

An investment in the Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus (and any Shares issued on the exercise of the Options) should be considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to the market value of Options or any resultant Shares issued on the exercise of Options. The prices at which an investor may be able to trade the Options, may be above or below the issue price of the Options, or in the case of resultant Shares, the aggregated issue and

exercise price of the Options. Prospective investors must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.

(e) Share market

There are general risks associated with an investment and the share market. The price of the Company's securities on the ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of factors beyond the Company's control and which are unrelated to the Company's financial performance. These factors may include movements on international stock markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, investor perceptions, changes in government policy, commodity supply and demand, government taxation and royalties, war, global hostilities and acts of terrorism.

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 Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Options 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 Options or any Shares issued on exercise of the Options. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

(b) New Zealand resident Eligible Shareholders

The New Securities offered under this Prospectus are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to Eligible Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of the Securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand). This Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. It is not product disclosure statement, investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement, investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

(c) Other overseas resident Shareholders

Each 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. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the Securities may not be offer or sold, in any country outside Australia and New Zealand.

8.6 Treatment of Ineligible Shareholders

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

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Entitlement Offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Options or the Entitlement Offer or otherwise to permit an offering of the New Options in any jurisdiction other than as set out in this section.

The Entitlements of any Ineligible Shareholder will form part of the Shortfall Offer.

This document is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America (including its territories and possessions, any state of the US and the District of Columbia). This document is not an offer of securities for sale into the United 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. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.

Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand (other than to Eligible Shareholders).

8.7 Beneficial holders, nominees, trustees and custodians

The foreign selling restrictions under the Entitlement Offer summarised in section 8.5 of this Prospectus apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in

Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Options does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Entitlement 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 Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

8.8 Allotment and application money

New Options will be issued only after all application money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Options to be quoted. It is expected that New Options will be issued on 10 November 2021 and trading of the New Options on ASX is expected to commence on 11 November 2021.

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

8.9

Quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within 7 days after the Closing Date for quotation of the New Options offered by this Prospectus on ASX. The quotation of the New Options is conditional on the Company satisfying ASX requirements for quotation of a new class of securities (which includes, among other things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Options on issue, with at least 50 holders holding a marketable parcel). The Company makes no guarantee that any such application for quotation will be successful. If ASX does not grant permission for the quotation of the New Options offered under this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as modified by ASIC, none of the New Options 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.

A decision by ASX to grant official quotation of the New Options 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 New Options.

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

8.10 Market prices of Existing Shares and Options on ASX

8.11 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 Options 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 Options 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 Options 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.

8.12

Taxation and duty implications

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

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

8.13

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 Securityholders (including name, address and details of the Securities 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 Securityholder. 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.

8.14

Enquiries

Any queries regarding the Offer or Entitlement and Acceptance Form should be directed to the Company Secretary on +61 (08) 9420 8208.

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

9. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO OPTIONS 9.1 Rights and liability attaching to New Options

The terms and conditions of the New Options are as follows:

  • (a) Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (Share) at an exercise price of $0.035 ( Exercise Price ).

  • (b) The New Options are exercisable at any time on or before 5.00pm Western Standard Time on 30 November 2023 ( Expiry Date ). Any New Options not exercised by the Expiry Date shall lapse.

  • (c) New Options may not be exercised if the effect of such exercise and subsequent allotment of the Shares would be to create a holding of less than a marketable parcel of Shares unless the allottee is already a shareholder of the Company at the time of exercise.

  • (d) Exercise of the New Option is effected by completing a notice of exercise of option and delivering it to the registered office of the Company together with payment of $0.035 per New Option exercised.

  • (e) A notice of exercise is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cash or cleared funds.

  • (f) The Company will apply for Official Quotation by ASX of the New Options.

  • (g) All Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options and payment of the Exercise Price will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s then existing Shares. The Company will apply for Official Quotation by ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options within three days of the issue of the Shares.

  • (h) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate in new entitlement issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the New Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, Optionholders are given such period required by the Listing Rules of ASX to give Optionholders the opportunity to exercise their New Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • (i) If from time to time before the expiry of the New Options the Company makes an issue of shares to the holders of ordinary shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (a "bonus issue") other than in lieu of a dividend payment, then upon exercise of a New Option the Optionholder will be entitled to have issued to it (in addition to the shares which it is otherwise entitled to have issued to it upon such exercise) additional shares in the Company. The number of additional shares is the number of shares which would have been issued to it under that bonus issue (bonus shares) if on the date on which entitlements were calculated it had been registered as the holder of the number of shares which it would have been registered as holder if immediately before that date it had exercised its New Options. The bonus shares will be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in relation to the bonus issue and upon issue will rank pari passu in all respects with the other shares allotted upon exercise of the New Options.

  • (j) The period during which the New Options may be exercised cannot be extended.

  • (k) In the event of any reconstruction, including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, the number of New Options which each holder is entitled or the Exercise Price of the Options or both will be reconstructed as appropriate in a manner which is in accordance with the Listing Rules and will not result in any benefits being conferred on Optionholders which are not conferred on shareholders, subject to such provision with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital, but in all other respects the terms of exercise of the New Options will remain unchanged. The rights of an Optionholder

may be changed to comply with the Listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (l) Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of a New Option will be allotted and issued not more than 14 days after the receipt of a proper notice and payment of the exercise price in respect of the New Options exercised.

  • (m) Other than as referred to above, a New Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price, or a change to the number of underlying securities over which it can be exercised.

9.2 Rights attaching to Shares

Each New Option is exercisable into one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company ( Share ).

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is set out below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution will be provided by the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

  • (a) General meeting and notices

  • Each eligible Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

  • (b) 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:

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

  • (ii) on a show of hands every person present who is an eligible Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of an eligible Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is an eligible Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of an eligible Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote per Share, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Issues of further Shares

  • The Directors may, on behalf of the Company, issue shares and grant options over or unissued shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the times that the Directors decide. However, the Directors must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights and restrictions attached to a class of shares.

(d) Variation of Rights

Unless otherwise provided by the Constitution or by the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attached to the shares in any class may be varied or cancelled only with the written consent of the holders of at least three-quarters of the issued shares of the affected class, or by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class.

(e) 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 or the Listing Rules.

The Directors may decline to register a transfer of shares (other than a proper transfer in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules) where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer, the Company must, within 5 business days after the transfer is delivered to the Company, give the party lodging the transfer written notice of the refusal and the reason for the refusal.

(f)

Partly paid Shares

The Directors may, subject to compliance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, issue partly paid shares upon which there are outstanding amounts payable. These shares will have limited rights to vote and to receive dividends.

(g)

Dividend rights

Subject to and in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the rights of any preference shares and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare dividend to be paid to the shareholders entitled to the dividend. Subject to the rights of any preference shares and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the dividend as declared shall be payable on all shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such shares.

(h) Winding up

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to a class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company, any surplus must be divided among the Shareholders in the proportions which the amount paid (including amounts credited) on the shares of a Shareholders is of the total amounts paid and payable (including amounts credited) on the shares of all Shareholders.

(i)

Dividend reinvestment and Share plans

Subject to the requirements in the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may implement and maintain dividend reinvestment plans (under which any member may elect that dividends payable by the Company be reinvested by way of subscription for fully paid shares in the Company) and any other share plans (under which any member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on all or some of the shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitlement, including the issue of fully paid shares).

(j) Directors

The Constitution states that the minimum number of Directors is three and the maximum number is nine.

(k)

Powers of the Board

Except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the Listing Rules or the Constitution, the Directors have the power to manage the business of the Company and may exercise every right, power or capacity of the Company.

(l)

Share buy backs

Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may buy back shares in itself on the terms and at times determined by the Directors.

(m) Unmarketable parcels

The Company's constitution permits the Board to sell the shares held by a Shareholder if they comprise less than a marketable parcel within the meaning of ASX Business Rules. The procedure may only be invoked once in any 12 month period and requires the Company to give the shareholder notice of the intended sale.

If a Shareholder does not want his shares sold, he may notify the Company accordingly.

(n) Capitalisation of profits

The Directors may capitalise any profits of the Company and distribute that capital to the Shareholders, in the same proportions as the Shareholders are entitled to a distribution by dividend.

(o) Capital reduction

Subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Company may reduce its share capital.

(p) Preference Shares

The Company may issue preference shares, including preference shares that are liable to be redeemed. The rights attaching to preference shares are those set out in the Constitution unless other rights have been approved by special resolution of the Company’s Shareholders.

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 Options that will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are options to subscribe for continuously quoted securities (i.e. Shares).

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 or an offer of options to acquire securities of that nature. 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 period from lodgement of the Company’s annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 to 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.

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 the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) is information 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 Options.

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 annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 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 report lodged with ASIC by the Company after the lodgement of that annual report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus; and

(iii) 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 www.asx.com.au.
