No action has been taken to comply with legal and regulatory requirements of jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand to permit an offer of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand.
The Company will send a copy of this Offer Document to each Non-participating Shareholder in order to inform all Non-participating Shareholders that the Offer is not being made to them.
If you have any queries concerning your entitlement, please contact: John Palermo, Company Secretary Golden West Resources Limited Tel: +61 8 9242 1622 Fax: +61 8 9242 5903 or contact your stockbroker or professional adviser.
2 RISK FACTORS
An investment in New Shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, the following is a summary of specific risks associated with an investment in the Company:
General and Industry Risks
2.1 Economic Conditions
- Adverse changes in economic conditions such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, government policy, international economic conditions, and employment rates amongst
2
others are outside of the Company’s control and have the potential to have an adverse impact on the Company and its operations.
2.2 Stock Market Fluctuations
Investors should be aware that there are risks associated with any investment in a company listed on ASX. The value of Shares may rise above or fall below the current share price depending on the financial and operating performance of the Company and external factors over which the Company and the Directors have no control. These external factors include:
-
economic conditions in Australia and overseas which may have a negative impact on equity capital markets;
-
changing investor sentiment in the local and international stock markets specifically relating to the mining sector or iron ore sector stocks;
-
changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies; and
-
developments and general conditions in the iron ore markets in which the Company proposes to operate and which may impact on the future value and pricing of shares in iron ore companies.
2.3
Commodity Price Movements
Iron ore prices have varied significantly over recent years and are currently at, or near, historical highs. This is, to a large extent, attributed to strong demand from countries such as China, Japan, India and South Korea. Competitor behaviour or the behaviour of new entrants attracted by current price increases may also influence iron ore price negotiation outcomes. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict accurately future price movements and such movements may have a positive or negative impact on the Company’s future development and planned future production.
2.4
Regulatory Risks
Mining and construction operations in Australia are subject to a variety of general and industry specific regulations concerning the environment, the health and safety of employees, land access, infrastructure creation and access, royalties, taxation, accounting policies and other matters. Compliance with such laws may cause delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, causing an adverse impact on the Wiluna West Project.
While the Company’s exploration and general business activities are highly regulated, it is possible that new specific laws will be introduced in Australia and/or overseas which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s current and future business. For example, laws may be established to address concerns relating to the use of iron ore, the production of carbon dioxide or the remediation of mines.
2.5 Mining and Exploration Risks
The business of mining exploration, mineral development and production is subject to risk by its nature. The success of the business depends on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, successful development in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations.
Exploration and mining are speculative undertakings which may be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems.
2.6 Insurance Risks
Although insurance is proposed to be maintained for the development, construction and operation of any project within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms or that
3
any cover will be adequate and available to cover any or all claims. If the Company incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, its assets, profits and prospects may be adversely affected.
2.7 Environmental Risks
Iron ore exploration and production can be environmentally sensitive and can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses. Further, there are a number of environmental conditions that may be attached to the Company’s mining tenements. Failure to meet such conditions could lead to forfeiture of these tenements. Future legislative and regulatory changes may be introduced. Such changes could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and potential profitability.
2.8
Tenement Title Risks
All of the tenements for which the Company is the registered holder will be subject to application for renewal by the tenement holder from time to time. The renewal of the term of each tenement is subject to applicable legislation. The Directors are not aware of any reason why renewal of the term of any tenement should not be granted.
Company Specific Risks
2.9
Operational Risks
The Company could be adversely affected by disruptions to exploration, mine development or proposed future operations caused by adverse climatic, geological, geotechnical, seismic and mining conditions, infrastructure construction and operation breakdown of equipment, industrial accidents, labour disputes and port delays. The Company will seek to minimise the potential damage flowing from the occurrence of some of these risks by obtaining suitable indemnities from suppliers and contractors in the event that equipment or services do not provide the performance that was expected.
The occurrence of operating risks can result in increased production costs for the Company if it commences operations and may materially impact on the Company’s competitive position or ability to derive profits. In particular, mining costs may be materially impacted by adverse mining and geological conditions. Iron ore processing costs and yields may be negatively impacted by unforeseen deterioration in the quality or quantity of iron ore mined and any unbudgeted increase in operating costs.
2.10 Loss of Key Personnel
The Company may also face risks from the loss of key personnel from time to time, as it may be difficult to secure replacement personnel with appropriate experience and expertise, particularly in the current Western Australian market which is highly competitive.
2.11 Resource Estimations
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates, which were valid when made, may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could have either a positive or negative effect on the Company’s operations.
Completion of updated resource estimates at Wiluna West has outlined an interim Inferred Mineral Resource (as defined in the JORC Code) of 86.3 million tonnes at 60.1% Fe. The actual volumes, grades and recoveries of the iron ore may be more or less than this estimate. The estimates for Wiluna West are only estimates based on the judgment, experience and technical data available to the Company.
4
2.12 Mine Development, Construction and Commissioning
The development of the Wiluna West Project will require substantial capital expenditure, experienced personnel and regulatory approvals. The Company will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new mining and infrastructure project.
There is no guarantee that the resources and approvals required for development of the Wiluna West Project in a timely fashion will be readily available.
The Company is yet to conduct a feasibility study, which provides the basis for project planning, cash flow analysis and proposed financing. Raising finance for the establishment of a commercial mining operation at Wiluna West depends on the outcome of the feasibility study. Additional work is therefore required before any decision can be made to further develop the Project.
2.13 Infrastructure Development
The Company is currently assessing the infrastructure requirements associated with the Wiluna West Project including the export of the iron ore from either the Port of Esperance or from a proposed new port at Oakajee. Delays in selecting an appropriate infrastructure provider, funding and construction of suitable rail and port infrastructure may affect the economic value of the Wiluna West Project.
The development of suitable infrastructure is an integral part of the successful development of the Wiluna West Project. An inability to secure or delay in securing or a delay in construction or implementation of suitable infrastructure may impact on the future viability of the Project.
As at the date of this Offer Document, no decision has been made by the Western Australian State Government with respect to the Oakajee route as to the provider or providers of the infrastructure, its route and location or the proposed construction timetable.
Further, the construction of the necessary port and rail infrastructure associated with the Oakajee port assumes that the miners in the mid-west region will have a bankable project to justify such development. There is a risk that the miners in the region are unable to delineate sufficient reserves to bank the development of the infrastructure.
The Company will rely on third parties to undertake construction of appropriate infrastructure, equipment supply, installation and commissioning and there is a risk that these third parties will not perform their obligations promptly, properly or at all. In addition, there may be significant delays or expenses associated with constructing or otherwise transport infrastructure arrangements.
2.14 Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage Risk
The grant of a mining tenement in Western Australia is generally a “Future Act” under the Native Title Act 1993 (“NTA”) and the grant of a tenement is subject to the right to negotiate procedures under the NTA. These procedures give registered native title claimants rights to negotiate with tenement applicants prior to the grant of the tenement.
There may also be registered or unregistered Aboriginal heritage sites on land covered by the Company’s tenements and the Company must comply with the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (the "Heritage Acts”) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984. The presence of sites of indigenous heritage significance may limit or preclude mining or construction activity and delays and expenses may be incurred in obtaining clearance and approvals.
All of the Company’s tenements, excluding L53/147, are live tenements and we presume the right to negotiate procedures of the NTA have been complied prior to their grant.
The majority of the tenements in Wiluna West and Dohertys Projects are covered by the Sir Samuel Number 2 Native Title Claims (NNTT WC95/82 & WC95/58) (“SS Claims”). The SS Claims are not registered as at the date of this Offer Document and as a result the claimants do not have the right to negotiate under the NTA. Mining lease 57/619 is affected by one of the SS Claims (WC95/82)
5
and the Koara native title claim (WC95/001), which is also not registered as at the date of this Offer Document. The claims may become registered at some time in the future. If this occurs and the Company wishes to apply for further tenements in the area then the Company may be required to negotiate with the claimants pursuant to the NTA.
Miscellaneous licence application 53/147 is affected by Sir Samuel Claim (WC95/82) and the Wiluna native title claim (WC99/24). The Wiluna claim is registered and the claimants have the right to negotiate in relation to its grant. Pursuant to the right to negotiate procedures the Wiluna claimants have lodged an objection to the grant of the tenement being included in “expedited procedure” under the NTA. The objection is not an objection to the tenement being granted, but to the application being fast-tracked. The parties are now required to negotiate in relation to the grant of the tenement or apply to the NNTT for a determination. The grant of tenements by agreement usually follows the entry into an agreement between the applicant for the tenement and the claimant or objectors, which relates to the protection of both Aboriginal heritage and Aboriginal sites during exploration.
Pursuant to a Deed of Agreement with a number of the Sir Samuel Claimants the Company conducted heritage surveys over the area of a number of the tenements (M53/1016, M53/1017, M53/1018, E53/1089, E53/1114, E53/1116, E53/1159, E53/1173, E53/1177, L53/115, L53/156). The survey identified an area within the tenements as a site and the Company will not conduct any mining activity on that area without complying with the provisions of the Heritage Acts. In addition, the Company agreed to conduct further negotiations with the claimants should they proceed to productive mining in the area.
2.15 Specific Environmental and Regulatory Risk
The Company will need to receive various environmental approvals before it can develop the Wiluna West Project. There is risk that these approvals may be delayed or not granted or that additional environmental conditions will be required.
2.16 Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding
The ultimate development of the Wiluna West Project will involve a substantial investment of capital that will require funding. The Company is confident that the Wiluna West Project will attract funding support from other industry participants; however, there can be no guarantee of this. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital resources on terms acceptable to the Company.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company's operations and business strategy.
The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.
