any
transaction
costs if I accept the
Takeover Offer?
You
will
not
incur
any
brokerage
fees
or
be
obliged to pay duty or GST in

Annexure A of this Bidder’s
Statement contains the full
terms of the Takeover Offer

instructions
on
the

8. What happens if I do
not
accept
the
Takeover Offer?
Subject to the explanation
below, you will remain a
shareholder
of
Cascade
and will not receive the
Takeover
Offer
Consideration.
If you do not accept the
Takeover Offer and Torian
acquires a Relevant Interest
in at least 90% of Cascade
Shares
and
the
other
conditions of the Takeover
Offer are satisfied or waived,
Torian intends to proceed to
compulsorily
acquire
the
outstanding
Cascade
Shares. You will be invited
after the Takeover Offer
closes to claim the Takeover
Offer
Consideration
from
Cascade
as
trustee.
Therefore,
accepting
the
Takeover Offer will result in
you receiving your Takeover
Offer Consideration sooner if
you accept the Takeover
Offer, rather than having
your
Cascade
Shares
compulsorily acquired.
If
the
Takeover
Offer
becomes or is declared
unconditional
but
Torian
does not become entitled to
compulsorily acquire your
Cascade Shares under the
Corporations Act, unless you
sell your Cascade Shares,
you
will
remain
a
shareholder in Cascade.
Section6of this Bidder’s
Statement
provides
more
information regarding Torian’s
intentions if it acquires a
Relevant Interest in at least
90% of the Cascade Shares.
Section6of this Bidder’s
Statement
provides
more
information regarding Torian’s
intentions if it acquires a
Relevant Interest in less than
90% of the Cascade Shares.

14

No. Question Answer Further information
In these circumstances and,
depending on the number
of Cascade Shares acquired
by Torian, you may be a
minority
Cascade
Shareholder.
9. Are there conditions
to
the
Takeover
Offer?
The Takeover Offer is subject
to the Conditions set out in
Annexure A and include:
(a)
Torian acquiring an
interest in at least
90% of all Cascade
Shares on issue at
the
end
of

(b)
that no ‘prescribed
occurrences
occur’; and
(c)
no
‘material
adverse
effect’
occurs in relation to
Cascade.
Annexure A to this Bidder’s
Statement
sets
out
the
Conditions in full.
**10. ** What
if
the
Conditions are not
satisfied or waived?
If the Takeover Offer closes
and the Conditions are not
satisfied
or
waived,
the
Takeover Offer will lapse,
and your acceptance will
be void. In other words, you
will continue to hold your
Cascade Shares (unless you
otherwise sell them). Torian
will announce whether the
Conditions
have
been
satisfied or waived during
the
Offer
Period
in
accordance
with
its
obligations
under
the
Corporations Act.
Annexure A to this Bidder’s
Statement sets out further
information.
**11. ** What
happens
if
Torian improves the

all
the

(whether or not they have

Offer before or after such

be

2. WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE OFFER

  • Torian believes you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offer for the following reasons:

1. The merger of Torian and Cascade will form a larger, more diverse and better funded gold exploration development company with a consolidated portfolio of gold exploration and mining tenements

2. As an ASX listed company, the Merged Entity will have greater access to capital to fund its projects, transact on assets and generate additional opportunities that add value for shareholders

3. As Torian is an ASX listed entity, Torian Shares issued in consideration for Cascade Shares will have greater liquidity if the Takeover Offer is successful

4. The Merged Entity will have a strong board and management team that can execute the Company’s growth strategy going forward

5. Cascade Shareholders may receive access to capital gains tax relief in Australia if Torian achieves ownership of more than 80% of the issued Cascade Shares

6. Diversified and broader portfolio, enhanced growth profile and cost savings

7. No Superior Proposal has emerged as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement and there is no guarantee that a Superior Proposal will arise in the future

The above is only a headline summary of some of the reasons why you should accept the Takeover Offer. Each of the reasons is explained below.

If you wish to accept this Takeover Offer, you must return the signed Acceptance Form by 5:00pm (WST) on 10 February 2017.

Detailed reasons why you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offer

  • 2.1 The merger of Torian and Cascade will form a larger, better funded gold exploration development company with a consolidated portfolio of gold exploration and mining tenements

The merger of Cascade with Torian will create a larger gold development and exploration company, with a pro-forma market capitalisation of approximately $25 million[2] .

There are many benefits that Cascade Shareholders are expected to enjoy as a result of being part of a larger company combined with Torian, including:

2 Undiluted market capitalisation assuming Torian acquires 100% of the Cascade Shares on issue and based on Torian’s last closing price of $0.165 on 7 October 2016.

17

  • (a) continued and increased exposure to the Zuleika Project, which is currently held through a joint venture with Torian;

  • (b) continued exposure to Cascade’s Mt Keith, Mt Monger, Five Mile Hill and Kanowna South Projects in addition to gaining exposure to Torian’s portfolio of gold assets including the Mt Stirling Project, Malcolm Project and Bardoc Project (refer to Section 3.4 for further details);

  • (c) a strengthened and more diverse share register through the amalgamation of shareholders of Torian and Cascade;

  • (d) greater financial capacity to more aggressively commit to exploration of Cascade’s exploration tenements, which may drive further growth in the value of your investment should that exploration be successful; and

  • (e) potential synergies, including the consolidation of Torian and Cascade’s respective joint venture interests in the Zuleika Project and cost reductions as the Merged Entity simplifies the corporate structure of Torian and Cascade resulting the need to keep only one set of accounts and undertake only one audit of the Merged Entity.

2.2 As an ASX listed company, the Merged Entity will have greater access to capital to fund its projects, transact on assets and generate additional opportunities that add value for shareholders

The merger of Torian and Cascade will result in Cascade Shareholders sharing in the many advantages that are anticipated to come from being a shareholder in a larger company with increased liquidity and visibility, and listing on ASX.

Cascade Shareholders will benefit from exposure to trading of Torian Shares on ASX. In addition to anticipated benefits of improved liquidity and improved valuation to be driven by having an investment listed on ASX, Cascade Shareholders are also expected to benefit from having exposure to a much deeper pool of capital available to a listed entity that may not otherwise invest in unlisted resources companies. This will impose a reduced reliance on Cascade’s existing shareholders to continue funding its business through the creation of a more diverse shareholder base. There is also likely to be an enhanced ability to source equity and debt funding on better terms than may otherwise be available to Cascade on a stand-alone basis due to the greater scale, greater liquidity and greater depth of project portfolio of the Merged Entity.

Torian currently has approximately $1.4 million in cash on hand and has a demonstrated ability to be able to raise funds to fund its exploration activities.

If the Takeover Offer is successful, it will create a larger gold exploration and development company, with a broader shareholder base, a stronger cash balance, and improved ability to raise new capital, which will provide a much improved platform for additional growth opportunities to be considered by the Merged Entity, including providing greater financial flexibility to more aggressively pursue exploration opportunities.

2.3 As Torian is an ASX listed entity, Torian Shares issued in consideration for Cascade Shares will have greater liquidity if the Takeover Offer is successful

If the Takeover Offer is successful, Cascade’s Shareholders will receive Torian Shares. Torian Shares are expected to be substantially more liquid than Cascade’s Shares given Torian’s listing on ASX. This is anticipated to result in broader interest

18

from a larger number of equity market research analysts, industry commentators and investors.

For the period from 10 October 2016 to the date immediately prior to lodgement of the Bidder’s Statement, the average daily value of Torian Shares traded was $12,901.95, relative to the limited liquidity of unlisted Cascade Shares.

2.4 The Merged Entity will have a strong board and management team that can execute the Company’s growth strategy going forward

The Merged Entity will retain its current directors Andrew Sparke, Matthew Sullivan, Elissa Hansen and Glenn Jardine, further details of whom are included in Section 3.3.

The management team comprises Matthew Sullivan, the Managing Director, Lyndal Money, General Manager Exploration and Mark Borman, General Manager Land.

Lyndal has over 15 years’ experience in mining operations and exploration in the Kalgoorlie region including extensive experience working along the Zuleika Shear. Her experience covers the exploration of gold within numerous geological settings using many different exploration techniques and methodologies. She has worked on a broad range of projects including exploration, mine and resource geology at numerous gold deposits throughout Australia.

Mark has over 25 years’ experience as a professional land manager with 17 years in the Department of Minerals and Energy in Western Australia. He has extensive industry experience that includes the role of Land Manager for several publicly listed and private companies. He has managed nearly 5,000 mining titles across Australia and over 120 Joint Venture or Sale type agreements. Mark also has extensive knowledge and familiarity of the practical and legal issues involved in land management.

2.5 Cascade Shareholders may receive access to capital gains tax relief in Australia if Torian achieves ownership of more than 80% of the issued Cascade Shares

Provided Torian achieves ownership of more than 80% of the issued Cascade Shares, eligible Cascade Shareholders may be entitled to rollover relief from capital gains tax on the consideration they receive under the Offer. However, Cascade Shareholders may be subject to capital gains tax as a result of a later taxable event (such as a disposal) happening to the Torian Shares received as consideration under the Takeover Offer. Please refer to Section 7 of this Bidder’s Statement for more information. You should consult a qualified tax adviser for further taxation advice.

2.6 Diversified and broader portfolio, enhanced growth profile and cost savings

The merger of Torian and Cascade will combine the assets, reserves and operations of two capable and quality companies that should enable the Merged Group to grow and consolidate its position as a significant landholder and substantial gold explorer in the Goldfields Region.

The merger will provide an opportunity for Cascade Shareholders to participate in the benefits expected from a larger and more diversified portfolio of assets and a substantial exploration program and development profile, while retaining exposure to Cascade's existing asset base. The merger will also provide an opportunity for Cascade Shareholders to participate in the benefits expected

19

from a broader platform for growth that will enable the pursuit of business development opportunities not currently available to Cascade alone.

The merger provides an opportunity to realise cost saving benefits through a reduction in corporate overhead and administrative costs, as well as other synergies that may be derived from the proximity of Cascade’s Projects to Torian's Existing Projects and the simplified single ownership structure and operational management of assets currently owned via the Zuleika Joint Venture.

2.7 No Superior Proposal has emerged as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement and there is no guarantee that a Superior Proposal will arise in the future

Since the announcement by Torian of the Takeover Offer on 10 October 2016, no Superior Proposal has emerged as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

However, there remains the possibility that a third party may make a competing proposal (which may or may not be a Superior Proposal) prior to completion of the Takeover Offer. However, given the mutual interests of Cascade and Torian in the Zuleika and Bardoc Projects, a competing proposal may be unlikely to arise.

22

3.4.1 Zuleika Project

The Company’s flagship project, the Zuleika Project, lies approximately 50km northwest of Kalgoorlie and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including Northern Star (ASX:NST), Tribune Resources (ASX:TBR) and Rand Mining’s (ASX:RND) East Kundana Joint Venture. As at 10 October 2016, the Zuleika Project consisted of 122 tenements (comprising 3 Mining Leases, 1 Exploration License and 118 Prospecting Licenses) covering approximately 217 square kilometres.

As announced by the Company on 22 April 2015, the Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Cascade, pursuant to which it has the right to earn up to a 49% interest in the Zuleika Project by spending a total of $5 million over 4 years, with a minimum expenditure of $1.25 million in the first year (the Minimum Expenditure Requirement ). On 9 May 2016, the Company announced that it satisfied the Minimum Expenditure Requirement and earned an initial interest of 12.25% in the Zuleika Project.

As announced on 15 June 2016, the Company has recently completed Phase 1 of a large 4 phase drilling campaign at the Zuleika Project. Results to date are outlined in the Company’s quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 30 June 2016, announced 1 August 2016, and the Company’s announcements on 15 June 2016 and 26 July 2016. Initial drill results from Targets 18 and 19 were announced on 27 September 2016.

The Company’s interest in the tenements comprising the Zuleika Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

3.4.2 Mt Stirling Project

The Mt Stirling Project is located approximately 40 kilometres north west of Leonora. The Mt Stirling Project comprises 19 prospecting licences covering an area of 23 square kilometres. The project currently has 2 JORC resources (Inferred) of 259,750t @ 2.44g/t Au for 20,380 oz and 41,250t @ 8.54g/t Au for 11,327 oz (see ASX Announcement dated 10 December 2014 for further details).

The Mt Stirling Project comprises three prospects, the Mt Stirling Well prospect, the Mt Stirling prospect and the Mt Cutmore prospect. The Company owns 100% of the Mt Stirling Well prospect and 51% of each of the Mt Stirling and Mt Cutmore prospects. The Company may earn up to 90% of each of the Mt Stirling and Mt Cutmore prospects under the terms of two separate joint venture agreements ( Mt Stirling JV Agreements ). Refer to the Company’s announcement on 10 December 2014 for further details with respect to the Mt Stirling JV Agreements.

Much of the resource at the Mt Stirling Project, whilst inferred, is a high grade, oxidised system, located at surface which the Company believes may be amenable to low cost mining. This resource is open in all directions and further exploration at this prospect is a high priority.

Refer to the Company’s quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 30 June 2016, announced 1 August 2016, and the Company’s announcements on 14 October and 18 November 2016 for further information with respect to the Mt Stirling Project.

The Company’s interest in the tenements comprising the Mt Stirling Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

23

3.4.3 Malcolm Project

The Malcolm Project is located approximately 20 kilometres east of Leonora. The Malcolm Project comprises 54 tenements covering an area of approximately 75 square kilometres.

The Malcolm Project comprises five prospects, the Rabbit Warren South prospect, the Mt Stewart prospect, the Braemore prospect, the Malcolm prospect and the Mt George prospect. The Company owns 100% of the Rabbit Warren South prospect and 51% interests in the Mt Stewart, Braemore, Malcolm and Mt George prospects. The Company may earn up to 90% of each of the Mt Stewart, Braemore, Malcolm and Mt George prospects under the terms of various joint venture agreements ( Malcom JV Agreements ). Refer to the Company’s announcement on 10 December 2014 for further details with respect to the Malcom JV Agreements.

The Malcolm Project has received only superficial exploration to date, focusing on historic workings. Several reconnaissance RAB holes have intersected anomalous values away from the historic workings. Many of these have not been followed up by RC drilling. In addition JORC Inferred resources of 48,000 tonnes @ 3,72g/t for 5,750 oz have been defined from previous shallow RC drilling (see ASX announcement 10 June 2014). All resources remain open along strike and also at depth.

The Company’s interest in the tenements comprising the Malcolm Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

3.4.4 Bardoc Project

The Bardoc Project is located approximately 40km north of Kalgoorlie. The Bardoc Project, which consists of 38.6 square kilometres of tenure, was jointly acquired by the Company and Cascade. Importantly, the Bardoc Project lies 3km north of Excelsior Gold’s (ASX:EXG) Kalgoorlie North Project, and 3km south of Aphrodite Mining’s (ASX:AQQ) Aphrodite Project.

The recently acquired project has extensive infrastructure in close proximity, which will significantly reduce the Company’s capital requirement and provide lower cost development options should an economic resource be identified at the project.

The Bardoc area has seen previous exploration by various groups over the last 25 years including Aberfoyle, Goldfields, Barrick and others. These groups have generated significant exploration data. The Company is currently compiling historical drill results from the project into a large digital database. Results to date are outlined in the Company’s quarterly activities report for the quarter ended 30 June 2016, announced 1 August 2016, and the Company’s announcement on 4 April 2016.

The Company’s interest in the tenements comprising the Bardoc Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

3.7.4 Management commentary on historical results

(a) Revenue :

Other Revenue in FY 2013, 2014 and 2015 comprised of consideration received on disposal of Torian’s former exploration and mining permits in

28

New South Wales and Queensland, which were fully impaired at their dates of disposal. Also included in Other Revenue in the 2013 to 2016 financial periods were reversals of accumulated impairment on bonds held by the New South Wales Department of Industry that were subsequently refunded.

As Torian’s historical principal activities were exploration and evaluation of prospective gold tenements, no sales revenue was earned in the period from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2016.

(b) Expenditure :

A large impairment expense was recognised in the 2013 financial year when Torian ceased all exploration activity on its diamond tenements. In this event, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure were required to be removed from the balance sheet under the applicable accounting standard (AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources ).

Significant professional and due diligence expenses were incurred in the 2015 financial year as part of the asset acquisitions from Cascade.

Following its renewed focus on exploration and evaluation of the Zuleika, Mt Stirling, Bardoc and Malcolm projects, Torian incurs increased indirect exploration and evaluation expenses as well as regular recurring costs for its office in Perth, Western Australia which has permanent staff to manage its ongoing exploration activities.

(c)

Assets :

3.9 Forecast information

Torian’s future financial performance is dependent on a range of factors, many of which are beyond Torian’s control. Accordingly, Torian’s Directors have concluded that forecast financial information would be misleading to provide, as a reasonable basis does not exist for providing forecasts that would be sufficiently meaningful and reliable as required by applicable Australian law, policy and market practice.

Further information is available on Torian’s financial performance from its financial reports. Copies of these reports are available from Torian’s website www.torianresources.com.au.

The Torian Board seeks, where appropriate, to provide accountability levels that meet or exceed the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations.

4.6 Cascade Projects

4.6.1

Zuleika Project

Details of the Zuleika Project are set out in Section 3.4.1 above.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Zuleika Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

4.6.2 Bardoc Project

Details of the Bardoc Project are set out in Section 3.4.4 above.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Bardoc Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

4.6.3 Mt Kieth Project

The Mt Keith Project lies approximately 60km south of Wiluna, near the Mt Keith nickel mine. The project consists of 2 Mining Leases covering approximately 1,217Ha.

The project covers a poorly exposed sequence of mafic volcanics and granitic rocks. There has been surprisingly limited previous exploration given the project’s location and the presence of several old workings. The work to date includes a detailed aeromagnetic survey, first pass auger soil geochemistry, and broad spaced (400m by 100m) vertical RAB drilling. Limited RC drilling has also taken place to test below old workings and to follow up selected RAB anomalies.

The targets are associated with various structures, some are granite/mafic contacts and others are related to various cross cutting structures unrelated to these contacts. Apart from a limited RC drilling programme completed approximately eight years ago by the vendor there appears to have been limited follow up exploration for many years.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Mt Kieth Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

4.6.4 Mt Monger Project

The Mt Monger Project lies approximately 50km south east of Kalgoorlie. The project consists of 13 Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,674Ha.

39

The project covers a poorly exposed sequence of ultramafic, mafic and sedimentary rocks. There has been surprisingly limited previous exploration given the project’s location and the presence of several sets of old workings. The work to date includes a detailed aeromagnetic survey, first pass auger soil geochemistry, and broad spaced (100-400m by 100m) bedrock RAB drilling, and limited follow up RC drilling.

The targets are associated with various structures, especially where they contain changes of direction or are cross cut by other later structures. There appears to be limited follow up drilling of many targets in the past 15-20 years, though some drilling on selected targets has taken place in the most recent 5 year period.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Mt Monger Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

4.6.5 Five Mile Hill Project

The Five Mile Hill Project lies approximately 8km north east of Kalgoorlie. The project consists of 4 Prospecting Licences covering approximately 693Ha.

The project covers a poorly exposed sequence of mafic and sedimentary rocks. There has been surprisingly limited previous exploration given the project’s location. The work to date includes a detailed aeromagnetic survey, first pass auger soil geochemistry, and broad spaced (100-400m by 100m) bedrock RAB drilling.

The targets are associated with various structures, especially where they contain changes of direction or are cross cut by other later structures. There appears to be limited follow up of many targets in the past 15-20 years.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Five Mile Hill Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

4.6.6 Kanowna South Project

The Kanowna South Project lies approximately 10km north east of Kalgoorlie, midway between the large Kalgoorlie and Kanowna gold deposits. The project consists of 5 Prospecting Licence applications covering approximately 780Ha.

The project covers a poorly exposed sequence of black shales and other sedimentary rocks. There has been surprisingly limited previous exploration given the project’s location. The work to date includes a detailed aeromagnetic survey, first pass auger soil geochemistry, and broad spaced (400m by 100m) vertical RAB drilling.

This is associated with a cross cutting structure near the black shale/epiclastic contact. There appears to have never been any follow up drilling since it was drilled in August 1997.

Cascade’s interest in the tenements comprising the Kanowna South Project is set out in the Tenement Schedule.

Accordingly, subject to any applicable laws, the Company makes no representations or warranties (express or implied) as to the accuracy and completeness of such information.

5.3 Profile of the Merged Entity

If the Takeover Offer is successful, Cascade Shareholders will each receive 1 Torian Share for every 1 Cascade Share held by them. After the Takeover Offer, if Torian becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire outstanding Cascade Shares in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of those shares and all of Torian’s Shareholders (including Cascade Shareholders who have received Torian Shares pursuant to the Takeover Offer) will be shareholders in the Merged Entity.

5.4 Effect of completion of the Takeover Offer

Upon completion of the Takeover Offer, the Merged Entity will be a well-funded gold company with greater market capitalisation and financial capacity for project expansion and development and will achieve a strengthening and simplification of the current management arrangements and should achieve cost savings by reducing corporate overheads.

5.5 Effect on the assets and operations of the Merged Entity

The Merged Entity will provide a simplified single ownership structure and operational management of assets currently owned via the Torian – Cascade joint venture agreement in relation to the Zuleika Project. Torian proposes to terminate the joint venture agreement if it acquires a Relevant Interest in 90% of Cascade Shares.

Torian is mindful of the pressures a junior explorer faces with respect to financial and technical capacity to operate multiple projects. It is envisaged that there may be some consolidation, joint ventures or divestment within the project portfolio of the Merged Entity. A review of all projects and operations will occur post merge.

Torian is focussed on becoming a gold producer with its core assets being the Zuleika Project and Mt Stirling Project in Western Australia. Additional opportunities in the Goldfields region of Western Australia provide exciting exploration and growth opportunities.

44

Cascade’s projects are opportunistic in that they are adjacent to the Company’s existing exploration tenure. However, it is recognised they have the potential to add significant value should exploration be successful.

Cascade’s mineral assets in Western Australia are of prime interest to Torian. It is envisaged these assets will be subject to significant exploration work and will benefit from the production aspirations of the Company.

5.6 Effect of the Takeover Offer on the Company’s corporate and capital structure

If the Takeover Offer is completed, the corporate structure of the Merged Entity will be as shown in the following diagram:

The effect of the Takeover Offer on the capital structure of Torian as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement is set out in Section 3.6 of this Bidder’s Statement.

5.7 Acquisition of Cascade by Torian

Under the Offer, accepting Cascade Shareholders will be issued 1 Torian Share for every 1 Cascade Share held, implying a theoretical value of $0.165 per Cascade Share based on the closing price of Torian Shares prior to the announcement of Torian’s intention to make the Takeover Offer ($0.165 on 7 October 2016).

For the purpose of determining the preliminary purchase price allocation we have assumed 50,870,133 Torian Shares valued at approximately $8,393,572 will be issued to Cascade Shareholders. The purchase consideration for the proposed acquisition of Cascade will be measured as the fair value of the Torian Shares issued at the date of exchange. Consequently the value of the purchase consideration for accounting purposes will differ from the amount assumed in the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position due to future changes in the market price of Torian Shares.

The difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred by Torian (as discussed in the prior paragraph) and the book value of the net assets of Cascade has been allocated to the exploration and evaluation assets for pro forma purposes (for reasons described in Section 5.8).

The acquisition of Cascade, if completed, will be accounted for as an asset acquisition with Torian as the acquirer of Cascade’s assets.

45

5.8 Basis for preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in connection with the proposed acquisition of Cascade by Torian. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and gives effect to the acquisition by Torian pursuant to the assumptions described in Section 5.10. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 gives effect to the transaction by Torian as if it had occurred as of 30 June 2016.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have been achieved if the transaction had been completed on the dates or for the periods presented, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or the financial position of the consolidated entities for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position does not reflect any special items such as integration costs or operating synergies that may be incurred or achieved as a result of the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments and allocations of the purchase price for the proposed acquisition of Cascade is based on a preliminary determination that the fair value of net assets acquired will be allocated to the exploration and evaluation assets. The final purchase price allocation will be completed after the transaction is complete.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ).

In preparing the Merged Entity unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS, the following historical information was used:

  • (a) unaudited Torian 30 June 2016 pro forma consolidated statement of financial position (refer Section 3.8.3); and

  • (b) unaudited Cascade 30 June 2016 statement of financial position (refer Section 3.8.3).

In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position no alignment has been made between the accounting policies of Cascade and Torian. The Directors of Torian are not aware of any material differences which would arise on such an alignment.

5.10 Effect of the transaction on the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position

The pro forma consolidated statement of financial position incorporates the following pro forma assumptions in relation to Torian’s proposed acquisition of Cascade:

  • (a) Adjustments for Cascade:

  • (i) To reduce the cash impost on Cascade and the Merged Entity, debt conversion and full reduction of accounts payable have been negotiated on the following:

    • (A) $380,000 payable to Director Mr Andrew Sparke/his related entities for directors services discharged by share issue;

    • (B) $419,000 payable to Sierra Resources Limited for corporate advisory services discharged by share issue;

  • (ii) Reduction in the share capital of Cascade by way of pro rata in specie distribution of 27,272,727 Torian Shares to all holders of Cascade Shares; and

  • (iii) Capitalisation of profits in accordance with Sect 254S of the Corporations Act 2001 to facilitate the capital reduction and in specie distribution.

  • (ii) the estimated merger costs of $200,000, payable in cash to professional advisors; and

48

  • (iii) the difference between the purchase price and the net assets acquired has been allocated to the exploration and evaluation assets.

5.11 Outlook for the Merged Entity

This Bidder’s Statement does not include any financial forecasts or projections for revenue or profit in relation to the Company, Cascade or the Merged Entity.

The Company has given careful consideration as to whether there is a reasonable basis to produce reliable and meaningful forecast financial information for the Merged Entity. However, the Torian Directors have concluded that as at the date of this Bidder's Statement, it would be misleading to provide forecast financial information for the Merged Entity.

49

6. INTENTIONS OF TORIAN RESOURCES LIMITED

6.1 Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements

This Bidder’s Statement includes forward-looking statements that have been based on Torian’s current expectations and predictions about future events including Torian’s intentions (which include those set out in this Section 6). These forward-looking statements are, however, subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of Torian, Cascade and the Merged Entity to differ materially from the expectations and predictions, expressed or implied, in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those risks identified in this Bidder’s Statement (including those set out in Section 8).

None of Torian, its officers, nor persons named in this Bidder’s Statement with their consent or any person involved in the preparation of this Bidder’s Statement makes any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the accuracy or likelihood of any forward looking statements. You are cautioned not to place reliance on these statements in the event that the outcome is not achieved. These statements reflect views and opinions as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

6.2 Rationale for the Takeover Offer

Torian believes that there are a number of key strategic and financial benefits that will arise from the successful acquisition of Cascade by Torian. These include:

  • (a) increased market capitalisation, liquidity and market presence;

  • (b) recognition of the Merged Entity’s balance sheet, cash and access to an expanded range of financing and growth options;

  • (c) enhanced global capital market and institutional investor awareness through an anticipated increase in broker research, coverage and investment in Torian by domestic and international investment funds;

  • (d) the alignment of the two shareholder groups into a like-minded, single group of shareholders; and

  • (e) the reduction of corporate overhead and duplicated roles.

6.3 Torian’s intentions regarding Cascade

6.3.1

Overview

Subject to the below, it is the present intention of Torian, on the basis of the information concerning Cascade which is known to Torian and the existing circumstances affecting the business of Cascade, that:

  • (a) Cascade’s status will be changed from a limited liability public company to limited liability proprietary company in order to reduce administrative costs associated with its current status as a public company;

  • (b) the business of Cascade will otherwise be continued in substantially the same manner as it is presently being conducted concerning the assets in Western Australia;

  • (c) no other major changes will be made to the business of Cascade; and

50

  • (d) there will be a period of review and where there is duplications in assets or synergy in commodities a plan will be developed for the value accretive action concerning these assets.

The current intentions of the Company may change in light of material facts and circumstances at the relevant time.

Following a period of review the value accretive treatment of the assets not central to the central strategy of near term production will be presented to the Torian Board to assess and determine the future treatment of those assets. Torian will also continue to assess its size and composition as the activities of the Merged Entity change.

6.3.2 Intentions upon acquisition of 90% or more of Cascade

If as a result of the Takeover Offer, Torian becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire outstanding Cascade Shares in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of those shares.

The Company then intends to undertake the steps outlined in Section 6.3.1 above.

6.3.3 Intentions upon gaining control but less than 90% of Cascade

Torian reserves its right to declare the Takeover Offer free from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Takeover Offer. However, Torian has not decided at this stage whether it will free the Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition).

If, following the close of the Takeover Offer, Cascade becomes a controlled entity, but not a wholly owned subsidiary of Torian, Torian presently intends, subject to the following, and to the extent possible, and appropriate, to implement the objectives and goals mentioned in Section 6.3.1 above.

The extent to which Torian will be able to implement these intentions will be subject to:

  • (a) the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, in particular in relation to related party transactions and conflicts of interests; and

  • (b) the legal obligation of the directors of Cascade to act for proper purposes and in the best interests of Cascade shareholders as a whole.

Having regard to this and in particular the possible requirements of minority shareholder approval, it is possible that Torian may not be able to implement some of these intentions.

6.3.4 Intentions if Torian does not acquire effective control of Cascade

Torian reserves its right to declare the Takeover Offer free from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Takeover Offer. However, Torian has not decided at this stage whether it will free the Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition).

If the waiver occurs, and Torian does not acquire effective control of Cascade, Torian intends, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to implement the process outlined in 6.3.1 above to the extent possible.

51

6.4 Torian Director Interests

Torian will seek shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Torian Shareholders to be convened after the date of this Bidder’s Statement for:

  • (a) the acquisition of a substantial asset (i.e. Cascade Shares) from a related party of Torian (being Messrs Andrew Sparke and Matthew Sullivan) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.1 ( 10.1 Resolution ); and

  • (b) a change in nature and scale of Torian’s activities as a result of the Takeover Offer in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 ( 11.1.2 Resolution ).

Both Andrew Sparke and Matthew Sullivan have given Torian undertakings that they will not accept the Takeover Offer in respect of their Cascade Shares unless and until Torian has received approval from the Torian Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 for the acquisition of their Cascade Shares under the terms of the Takeover Offer

The passing of the 10.1 Resolution is conditional upon the passing of the 11.1.2 Resolution. In the event that Torian Shareholders:

  • (a) pass both the 11.1.2 Resolution and 10.1 Resolution – each of Messrs Andrew Sparke and Matthew Sullivan will be entitled to accept the Takeover Offer;

  • (b) pass the 11.1.2 Resolution but not the 10.1 Resolution – Messrs Andrew Sparke and Matthew Sullivan will not be entitled to accept the Takeover Offer in respect of their Cascade Shares and Torian will consider waiving the 90% minimum acceptance Condition and completing the Takeover Offer in circumstances in which it will not be entitled to compulsorily acquire the remaining Cascade Shares;

  • (c) do not pass the 11.1.2 Resolution and pass the 10.1 Resolution – Torian will not waive the 90% minimum acceptance Condition and the Takeover Offer will not proceed; and

  • (d) pass neither the 11.1.2 Resolution nor the 10.1 Resolution – Torian will not waive the 90% minimum acceptance Condition and the Takeover Offer will not proceed.

52

7. AUSTRALIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

7.1 Overview

The following summary is a general overview of the Australian income tax consequences for Cascade Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer and dispose of their Cascade Shares to Torian in accordance with the Takeover Offer. The comments set out below are relevant only to those Cascade Shareholders who are residents of Australia for tax purposes and hold their Cascade Shares on capital account.

Certain Cascade Shareholders (such as those engaged in a business of share trading or investment, those who acquired their Cascade Shares for the purpose of resale at a profit or those which are banks, insurance companies, tax exempt organisations, persons who are temporary residents or non-residents for Australian tax purposes or persons who acquired their Cascade Shares in respect of their employment with Cascade) will or may be subject to special or different tax consequences particular to their circumstances. Such Shareholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding the disposal of Cascade Shares based on their specific circumstances.

The summary is based on taxation law and practice in effect at the date of the Takeover Offer. It is not intended to be an authoritative or comprehensive analysis of the taxation laws of Australia, nor does it consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to particular Cascade Shareholders. Further, it does not deal with the taxation consequences of disposing of Cascade Shares which may have been issued under an employee shares scheme, which may be subject to specific tax provisions.

Given the complexity of the taxation legislation, Cascade Shareholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding the tax consequences of disposing of Cascade Shares given the particular circumstances which apply to them.

7.2 Cascade Shareholders holding Shares on capital account

Acceptance of the Takeover Offer is likely to involve a disposal by a Cascade Shareholder of their Cascade Shares for CGT purposes.

An Australian-resident Cascade Shareholder may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether their capital proceeds from the exchange are more than the cost base of their Cascade Shares, or whether those capital proceeds are less than the cost base of those shares.

The capital proceeds that a Cascade Shareholder will be taken to have received in respect of the disposal of their Cascade Shares will generally be the market value of Cascade Shares on the date of acceptance of the Takeover Offer.

The cost base of Cascade Shares will generally be the cost at which they were acquired including any incidental costs of acquisition together with any additional cost base elements.

In broad terms, the Australian income tax consequences for Cascade Shareholders who hold their Cascade Shares on capital account and who accept the Takeover Offer will depend on whether or not 'scrip for scrip' capital gains tax rollover relief is available and, if available, is elected. The following discussion considers the general Australian income tax consequences for Cascade Shareholders where:

53

  • (a) rollover relief is available and is elected; and

  • (b) rollover relief is not available or is not elected.

7.3 Acceptance of the Takeover Offer where rollover relief is available and is elected

Australian-resident Cascade Shareholders may be entitled to 'scrip for scrip' CGT rollover relief in respect of the consideration referable to Torian Shares where the exchange of the shares would otherwise realise an assessable capital gain. Broadly speaking, rollover relief is available to Cascade Shareholders who exchange shares in one company for shares in another company where the transaction is made pursuant to a takeover bid and provided certain qualifying conditions are satisfied.

In broad terms, these qualifying conditions include the requirement that Torian must make an offer to all shareholders in Cascade to acquire their voting shares on substantially the same terms and Torian must become the owner of at least 80% of the voting shares in Cascade as a consequence of the Takeover Offer.

If the qualifying conditions are satisfied and a Cascade Shareholder elects for rollover relief to apply, the rollover relief is available.

The effect of the rollover relief is that the Cascade Shareholder's total capital gain will be deferred until the Torian Shares are disposed of.

The CGT cost base of the new Torian Shares acquired in the exchange is determined by reasonably attributing to it the CGT cost base of the Cascade Shares for which a rollover was obtained. For example, the CGT cost base for 1 Cascade Share will be apportioned to the 1 Torian Share received. Further, the Cascade Shareholders will be taken to acquire their Torian Shares at the time they originally acquired their Cascade Shares (for the purpose of determining any entitlement to a discount on an otherwise assessable capital gain in relation to a subsequent dealing in their new Torian Shares).

As discussed above, rollover relief will only be available if the qualifying conditions are satisfied and Cascade Shareholders elect to apply for it. Further, rollover relief is not available if Cascade Shareholders realise a capital loss on the disposal of their Cascade Shares.

Scrip for scrip rollover relief does not apply automatically and must be elected. The election to utilise scrip for scrip rollover relief is evidenced by the manner in which the tax return for the relevant income year is prepared although it may be prudent to keep a written record of that election with your tax records.

Given the complexity of the provisions governing rollover relief and the various qualifying conditions that need to be satisfied, Cascade Shareholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding their particular circumstances.

7.4 Acceptance of the Takeover Offer where rollover relief is not available or is not elected

If Cascade Shareholders do not elect to obtain rollover relief (or if it is not available), they will need to calculate whether they make a capital gain or capital loss on the disposal of their shares in Cascade. As discussed above, this will involve a calculation of their cost base and capital proceeds for their shares in Cascade.

54

Where the amount of capital proceeds received by a Cascade Shareholder in respect of the disposal of their Cascade Shares is greater than the cost base of those Cascade Shares, then the shareholder should realise a capital gain for Australian CGT purposes.

Where the amount of capital proceeds received by a Cascade Shareholder in respect of the disposal of their Cascade Shares is less than the reduced cost base of those Cascade Shares, then the Cascade Shareholder should realise a capital loss for Australian CGT purposes.

Where it is expected that a capital gain will result, if a Cascade Shareholder does not elect for rollover relief, or that relief is not available, then individuals, complying superannuation funds and trusts, may be eligible for the CGT discount. Companies that hold shares in Cascade are not eligible for the CGT discount.

Specifically, where Cascade Shares have been held for at least 12 months (not including the day of acquisition and the day of disposal) before their disposal, a Cascade Shareholder who is an individual, a complying superannuation entity or the trustee of a trust should be able to reduce the capital gain arising from the disposal of Cascade Shares by the CGT discount (see below).

Subject to the Cascade Shareholder having any available capital losses from previous income years or net capital losses in the tax year in which they dispose of their Cascade Shares, where the CGT discount is available, eligible Cascade Shareholders which are individuals or trustees of trusts (excluding complying superannuation entities) will reduce the capital gain arising on the disposal of Cascade Shares by one-half. For individuals, this reduced gain should be assessed at the Cascade Shareholder's marginal tax rate. Trustees should seek specific advice regarding the tax consequences of distributions attributable to discounted capital gains and whether the beneficiaries of such trust distributions may be eligible to receive a CGT discount on any net capital gain distributed.

Subject to the Cascade Shareholder having any available capital losses from previous income years or net capital losses in the tax year in which they dispose of their Cascade Shares, where Cascade Shares are held by a complying superannuation entity and the CGT discount is available, the discount will reduce the nominal capital gain on the disposal of the shares by one-third.

The CGT discount is generally applied after taking into account any available capital losses or revenue losses from previous income years or net capital losses or revenue losses in the tax year in which they dispose of their Cascade Shares. Cascade Shareholders having any capital losses or revenue losses from previous income years or net capital losses or revenue losses in the tax year in which they dispose of their Cascade Shares should seek independent advice in relation to the potential availability of the CGT discount.

7.5 Cascade Shareholders who are companies will not be entitled to the CGT discount

Companies are not entitled to the CGT discount. The capital gain or capital loss will be calculated with reference to the capital proceeds less the cost base or reduced cost base of the shares. Where a company realises a capital gain, it may be eligible to reduce that gain with capital losses from previous income years, net capital losses in the tax year in which they dispose of their Cascade Shares or revenue losses (subject to satisfying certain tax loss integrity measures). We recommend that companies seek advice from their professional tax advisor in relation to the availability and deductibility of any tax losses.

55

7.6 GST

GST should not apply to the disposal of Cascade Shares under the Takeover Offer, the issue of Torian Shares under the Takeover Offer, or any subsequent disposal of Torian Shares.

Cascade Shareholders who are registered for GST purposes may not be entitled to full input tax credits for any GST incurred on costs (e.g. accounting advisors’ costs) associated with acquiring or disposing of securities in Torian or Cascade. Cascade Shareholders should seek their own tax advice in this respect.

56

8. RISK FACTORS

8.1 Overview

If the Offer becomes unconditional, Cascade Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer will become Torian Shareholders. In those circumstances, Cascade Shareholders will:

  • (a) continue to be exposed to the risks associated with the investment in Cascade as a result of their indirect interest in Cascade through Torian;

  • (b) be exposed to the risks which are specific to an investment in Torian; and (c) be exposed to additional risks relating to the Takeover Offer and the Merged Entity.

These risks are explained below. Cascade Shareholders should read this Bidder’s Statement carefully and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to accept the Takeover Offer. By accepting the Takeover Offer, Cascade Shareholders will be investing in Torian.

The business activities of Torian and the Merged Entity are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of Torian and the Merged Entity. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of Torian and the Merged Entity and cannot be mitigated.

Accordingly, an investment in the Merged Entity carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which shares will trade and should be considered speculative. The principal risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following.

8.2 Risks Relating to the Offer

(a) Issue of Torian Shares as consideration

Cascade Shareholders are being offered specific quantities of Torian Shares as consideration under the Offer. As a result, the value of the consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of Torian Shares at any given time.

Furthermore, although the Consideration Shares will be subject to a 12 month escrow period, some of the holders of Cascade Shares that receive Torian Shares as consideration under the Takeover Offer may not intend to continue to hold those Torian Shares once they become freely tradable and may wish to sell them on ASX. There is a risk that if a significant number of holders of Cascade Shares seek to dispose of their Torian Shares, this may adversely impact the price of Torian Shares.

Accordingly, the market value of the Torian Shares at the time you receive them may vary significantly from their market value on the date of your acceptance of the Offer and again on the date that the 12 month escrow applicable to the Consideration Shares has expired. This may result in the value of the consideration to Cascade Shareholders increasing as well as decreasing.

57

(b) Rollover relief

A condition of the Offer is that the level of acceptance must result in Torian obtaining a Relevant Interest in at least 90% of all Cascade Shares. However, Torian reserves the right to free the Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition.

If Torian does not acquire a Relevant Interest in at least 80% of Cascade Shares, scrip-for-scrip CGT rollover relief will not be available to Cascade Shareholders. Refer to Section 7 above for further details.

(c) Acquisition of less than 90% of Cascade Shares

If Torian decides to waive the 90% minimum acceptance Condition, it is possible that Torian could acquire a Relevant Interest of less than 90% of Cascade Shares on issue under the Takeover Offer. The existence of a minority interest in Cascade may have an impact on the operations of the Merged Entity, although this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of Cascade ownership acquired by Torian.

(d) Limited withdrawal rights

As described in Section 6 of Annexure A of the Bidder's Statement, Cascade Shareholders may only withdraw their acceptance of the Offer in limited circumstances. Otherwise, Cascade Shareholders will be unable to withdraw their acceptances, even if the value of the Torian Shares to be issued to Cascade Shareholders as consideration varies from the date of their acceptance.

(e) Duty and Government charges

Duty and other government charges may be payable by Torian in relation to the Offer. The amount of these duties and charges may be material.

(f) Dilution risk

The consideration for the Takeover Offer is the Takeover Offer Consideration set out on the front page of this Bidder’s Statement. If the Takeover Offer is completed, there will be a dilution for current Torian Shareholders as a result of the Takeover Consideration Shares being issued.

8.3 Risks Relating to the Merged Entity

(a) Restricted securities reducing liquidity

It is a condition of the Offer that the Consideration Shares issued to the Cascade Shareholders will be subject to a 12 month escrow period.

During the period in which these Torian Shares are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Torian Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of his or her Torian Shares in a timely manner.

58

(b) Tenure, access and grant of applications

Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements and/or applications for tenements will be approved.

Many of the Cascade Tenements are currently at an application stage. There can be no assurance that the tenement applications that are currently pending will be granted. There can be no assurance that when the tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety. Additionally, some of the tenement areas applied for may be excluded. The Company is unaware of any circumstances that would prevent the tenement application from being granted, however the consequence of being denied the applications for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.

Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations in Western Australia. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company’s Projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Merged Entity and any current or future joint venture partners.

The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.

(c) Contractual

In order for the Merged Entity to be able to achieve its objectives the Merged Entity is reliant on the registered holder of the Tenements to comply with its contractual obligations under the various joint venture and acquisition agreements with respect to maintaining the Tenements in full force and effect, free from any liability to forfeiture or non-renewal. In this regard, a number of tenements in which Torian and Cascade have an interest are currently held by third parties pending the payment of duty by Torian and Cascade. Any such duty payment may be substantial.

Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the Mining Act 1978 (WA) and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance.

Where the registered holder of the tenements to which Torian and Cascade are entitled fails to comply with conditions of those tenements, which results in loss of title to the tenements, the Merged Entity would lose its interest in the relevant minerals rights. It may then be necessary for the Merged Entity to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. Cascade and Torian have no current reason to believe that the registered holder of the

59

tenements that they has contracted with will not meet and satisfy its obligations under the various agreements that Cascade and Torian are parties to.

(d) Exploration and operating

The mineral exploration tenements comprising the Projects 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 future exploration of these tenements, or any other mineral tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The future exploration activities of the Merged Entity may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Merged Entity will also depend upon the Merged Entity and any current or future joint venture partners being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration tenements comprising the Projects and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Merged Entity and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration tenements comprising the Projects.

(e) Operating and development risks

If operations at any Project are successfully commenced, the Company’s ability to achieve production, development, operating cost and capital expenditure estimates on a timely basis cannot be assured.

The business of gold mining involves many risks and may be impacted by factors including ore tonnes, grade and metallurgical recovery, input prices (some of which are unpredictable and outside the control of the Company), overall availability of free cash to fund continuing development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, changes in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies. Other risks also exist such as environmental hazards (including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), industrial accidents, occupational and health hazards, cave-ins and rock bursts. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs and other monetary losses and possible legal liability to the owner or operator of the mine. The Merged Entity may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not

60

insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining activities for which it was not responsible.

In addition, the Merged Entity’s profitability could be adversely affected if for any reason its production and processing of gold or mine development is unexpectedly interrupted or slowed. Examples of events which could have such an impact include unscheduled plant shutdowns or other processing problems, mechanical failures, the unavailability of materials and equipment, pit slope failures, unusual or unexpected rock formations, poor or unexpected geological or metallurgical conditions, poor or inadequate ventilation, failure of mine communications systems, poor water condition, interruptions to gas and electricity supplies, human error and adverse weather conditions.

8.4 Industry Specific Risks

(a) Gold

Changes in the market price of gold, which in the past have fluctuated widely, may affect the profitability of any future operations of the Merged Entity and its financial condition. Any revenue or profitability generated by the Merged Entity’s will depend on the market price of gold produced from the Merged Entity’s mines. The market price of gold is set in the world market and is affected by numerous industry factors beyond the Company’s control including the demand for precious metals, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, the demand for jewellery and industrial products containing metals, gold production levels, inventories, cost of substitutes, changes in global or regional investment or consumption patterns, and sales by central banks and other holders, speculators and procedures of gold and other metals in response to any of the above factors, and global and regional political and economic factors.

A decline in the market price of gold below the Merged Entity’s production costs for any sustained period would have a material adverse impact on any profit, cash flow and results of operations of the Merged Entity’s projects and anticipated future operations. Such a decline also could have a material adverse impact on the ability of the Merged Entity to finance the exploration and development of its existing and future mineral projects. A decline in the market price of gold may also require the Merged Entity to write-down its material reserves which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Merged Entity’s securities. Further, if revenue from gold sales declines, the Merged Entity may experience liquidity difficulties. The Merged Entity will also have to assess the economic impact of any sustained lower gold prices on recoverability and therefore, on cut-off grades and the level of its mineral reserves and resources.

(b) Gold price volatility and exchange rate

If the Merged Entity achieves success leading to gold production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of these precious metals exposes the potential income of the Company to price and exchange rate risks. Gold prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Merged Entity. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

61

Furthermore, international prices of gold are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(c)

Resource and reserves and exploration targets

The Company has identified a number of exploration targets based on geological interpretations and limited geophysical data, geochemical sampling and historical drilling. Insufficient data however, exists to provide certainty over the extent of the mineralisation. Whilst the Company intends to undertake additional exploratory work with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that additional exploration will result in the determination of a resource on any of the exploration targets identified. Even if a resource is identified no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.

Reserve and Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate.

(d) Failure to satisfy expenditure commitments

Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the mining acts and regulations that are current in those States and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

(e) Mine development

Possible future development of mining operations at the Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

If the Merged Entity either alone or with a joint venture partner commences production on any of the Projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Merged Entity. No assurance can be given that the Merged Entity will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Projects.

62

The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Projects reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.

(f)

Equipment and availability

The Company’s ability to undertake mining and exploration activities is dependent upon its ability to source and acquire appropriate mining equipment. Equipment is not always available and the market for mining equipment experiences fluctuations in supply and demand. If the Merged Entity is unable to source appropriate equipment economically or at all then this would have a material adverse effect on the Merged Entity's financial or trading position.

(g) Exploration and mining titles

The ability of the Merged Entity to carry out successful exploration and mining activities will depend on the ability to maintain or obtain tenure to mining titles. The maintenance or issue of any such titles must be in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and in particular, the relevant mining legislation. Conditions imposed by such legislation must also be complied with. No guarantee can be given that tenures will be maintained or granted, or if they are maintained or granted, that the Merged Entity will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed or that they will not be planted by third parties.

Although the Company has investigated title to all of its and Cascade’s tenements, the Company cannot give any assurance that title to such tenements will not be challenged or impugned. The tenements may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or title may be affected by undetected defects or native title claims.

(h) Environmental

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations.

The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that

63

environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive.

Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.

(i) Environmental health and safety matters

Any future mining operations of the Merged Entity will be subject to extensive Australian health and safety and environmental laws and regulations which could impose significant costs and burdens on the Merged Entity (the extent of which cannot be predicted). These laws and regulations provide for penalties and other liabilities for violation of such standards and if established, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety and environmental laws and regulations and even permanently in the case of extreme breaches.

(j) Native title and Aboriginal heritage

In relation to the tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Merged Entity to gain access to Tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.

The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving the tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

8.5 General Risks

(a) Competition risk

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

(b) Economic

General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Merged Entity’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

64

(c) Force majeure

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

(d) Government policy changes

Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Merged Entity’s properties without adequate compensation.

(e)

Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Merged Entity may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Merged Entity’s operations, financial performance and financial position.

Neither the Company nor Cascade are currently engaged in any litigation.

(f) Regulatory risks

The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.

Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that Merged Entity will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Merged Entity from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Merged Entity’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the tenements.

65

(g) Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Merged Entity’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) General economic outlook.

  • (ii) Introduction of tax reform or other new legislation.

  • (iii) Interest rates and inflation rates.

  • (iv) Changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors.

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

  • (vi) Terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of exploration companies experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares regardless of the Company’s performance.

(h) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Merged Entity is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of any future operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Merged Entity will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Merged Entity.

(i) 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 Merged Entity if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

ANNEXURE C – TENEMENT SCHEDULE

1. QUALIFICATIONS

The following Tenement Schedule has been prepared by Kings Park Corporate Lawyers based on a tenement list ( Tenements ), provided by Torian as current as at 10 October 2016 and on the following qualifications.

For the purpose of the Tenement Schedule, we have conducted the following searches and enquiries:

  • (a) searches of the Tenements in the mining tenement register ( DMP Register ) maintained by the Department of Mines and Petroleum of Western Australia ( DMP ) pursuant to the Mining Act 1978 (WA) and Mining Regulations 1981 (WA) ( Mining Act ) conducted on 14 November 2016; and

  • (b) quick appraisal searches of the Tenements summarising information obtained online from the ‘TENGRAPH’ system maintained by the DMP conducted on 14, 15 and 16 November 2016.

Based on our searches and enquiries and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out below, we confirm at the date of the searches that:

  • (c) the details of the Tenements referred to in the Schedule are accurate as to the status and registered holders of those Tenements as at the date of the searches;

  • (d) unless otherwise specified in the Tenement Schedule, the Tenements are in good standing and all applicable rents have been paid;

  • (e) none of the Tenements are subject to any unusual conditions of a material nature other than as disclosed in the Tenement Schedule;

  • (f) the statements as to third party interests, including encumbrances in relation to the Tenements, is based on information provided to us by Torian and Cascade as well as information ascertainable from our searches; and

  • (g) subject to the obtaining of standard, administrative authorisations (which are normally applied for only at the time of finalising details of individual exploration plans), or as otherwise detailed in the Bidder’s Statement, there are no legal or regulatory impediments to Torian or Cascade undertaking exploration on the Tenements.

2. ASSUMPTIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS

In preparing the Tenement Schedule:

  • (a) we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of results of the searches of the registers maintained by the DMP and other information obtained from and DMP;

  • (b) we have assumed all contracts, agreements or arrangements have been supplied to us and were within the capacity and powers of, and were validly authorised, executed and delivered by and binding on each party to them, and where applicable, have been either stamped or, where

99

Bidder_s Statement (TNR) FINAL (07 12 16).DOCX

unstamped, have been submitted for duty assessment and that duty will be paid in due course;

  • (c) where any agreement, dealing or act (including disturbing the land for exploration or mining) affecting the Tenements requires an authorisation, approval, permission or consent ( Authorisation ) under the Mining Act, or any other relevant legislation, we have assumed that Authorisation has been or will be granted in due course;

  • (d) where any dealing in the Tenements has been lodged for registration but is not yet registered, we express no opinion as to whether the registration will be effected, or the consequences of non-registration;

  • (e) we have assumed that both Torian and Cascade have complied with all applicable provisions of the Mining Act and all other legislation relating to the Tenements;

  • (f) where Cascade and Torian’s interest in a Tenement is not registered on title and Torian or Cascade is earning an interest in such title, we have not undertaken any verification of expenditure by Torian or Cascade on individual Tenements or projects and have relied on Torian and Cascade’s advice as to the work it has undertaken and expenditure incurred to earn its interests;

  • (g) we have not researched the underlying land tenure in respect of the Tenements to determine if native title rights have or have not been extinguished, or the extent of any extinguishment; and

  • (h) we have not researched the area of the Tenements to determine if there are any registered or unregistered sites of significance to aboriginal people within the area.

The Tenement Schedule sets out a brief description of the Tenements and a summary of any encumbrances. In relation to the Tenement Schedule, we make the following comments:

  • (i) references to the areas of the Tenements are taken from the details shown on the tenement searches, it is not possible to verify those areas without conducting a survey which has not been undertaken;

  • (j) the area of the Tenements as shown in the Schedule might be reduced by the existence of pre-existing mining tenements situated within the boundaries of the relevant Tenement and a subsequent requirement that the area of the earlier mining tenement is excised from the grant of the Tenement; and

  • (k) the rights of a holder of a mining tenement are subject to compliance by that holder with the terms and conditions under the relevant Mining Act and the conditions specifically set out in the grant of the Tenements.
