i

ACCEPT NOW

Havilah’s Offers of:

  • one Havilah Share for every five Curnamona Shares, and

  • one Havilah Listed Option for every five Curnamona Listed Options

are in the best interests of Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders respectively.

1. The Offers represent

  • In the case of the Share Offer, a significant premium of 72.5% to Curnamona’s closing Share price on Thursday 1 March 2012[1] and a 76% premium based on the companies’ respective 90 market trading day volume weighted average price (VWAP) to 1 March 2012[2] .

  • In the case of the Listed Options Offer, an implied value of 5.2 cents per Curnamona Listed Option[3] compared to the closing price of 0.5 cents on Thursday 1 March 2012.

2. Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will receive respectively shares and options in Havilah, which is a more diversified company with a broader portfolio of projects and greater resources to manage both companies’ projects.

3. Havilah is better placed to raise the substantial development capital required to develop Curnamona’s projects.

4. Curnamona has modest cash reserves and is very likely to require a capital raising in the next year, absent ongoing financial support from Havilah. If the Merger does not proceed, Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders face the prospect of significant dilution from future capital raisings to fund and develop its projects.

5. Havilah’s 45.38% shareholding in Curnamona is a significant deterrent to any alternative bidder.

1 Being the last trading day prior to both companies being placed in a trading halt to consider and negotiate the Offers.

2 Based on Curnamona’s 90 market trading day VWAP to 1 March 2012 of 7.27 cents and Havilah’s 90 market trading day VWAP of 64.04 cents to 1 March 2012.

3 Based on a Black-Scholes valuation undertaken by Havilah on 12 April 2012, valuing the Havilah Listed Options at 26 cents. Such a valuation may not reflect the market value of Havilah Listed Options once they are quoted on ASX.

ii

6. If the Merger does not proceed, there is a significant risk that Curnamona’s Share price and the price of Curnamona Listed Options will fall upon the lapsing of the Havilah Offers.

7. Curnamona’s independent director, Mr Staveley, recommends that Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders accept the Offers by Havilah, subject to the Independent Expert concluding that the Offers are fair and reasonable to Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders respectively, and subject to there being no Superior Proposal and no Havilah Material Adverse Event having occurred.

8. Curnamona Directors have indicated that they intend to accept the Share Offer in respect of all their Curnamona Shares and the Listed Options Offer in respect of all their Curnamona Listed Options, subject to the Independent Expert concluding that the Offers are fair and reasonable to Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders respectively, and subject to there being no Superior Proposal and no Havilah Material Adverse Event having occurred.

[To be advised]

Dear Fellow Curnamona Shareholder and Curnamona Listed Optionholder,

On behalf of the Board of Havilah Resources NL (“Havilah”), we are pleased to enclose offers to acquire all of your Shares and Listed Options in Curnamona Energy Limited (“Curnamona”).

The Offers are:

  • 1 Havilah Share for every 5 Curnamona Shares you hold; and

  • 1 Havilah Listed Option for every 5 Curnamona Listed Options you hold.

Although Curnamona holds good quality prospective tenements, it has only modest funds, and any expansion will require a capital raising.

Havilah, as the largest Curnamona Shareholder with 45.38%, believes in the long term development potential of Curnamona’s exploration assets which extend beyond uranium and include base metals and gold in the exploration licences that Curnamona holds in its own right (as opposed to the tertiary uranium rights it holds over some of the Havilah tenements, under the Tenement Access Agreement with Havilah). By moving the Curnamona Energy assets into the Havilah fold we will be able to continue to extend the Havilah base metal expertise into these Curnamona tenements in parallel with the on-going search for sand hosted uranium.

Havilah’s Offers of one Havilah Share for every five Curnamona Shares and one Havilah Listed Option for every five Curnamona Listed Options:

  • provides you value representing a significant premium to Curnamona’s closing price for both the Curnamona Shares and Listed Options before the announcement of Havilah’s intention to make the Offers;

  • allows you to become a shareholder in a more diversified company with a broader portfolio of projects and greater resources to develop Curnamona’s assets; and

  • allows you to maintain an interest in Curnamona’s exploration projects.

If Havilah’s Offers for Curnamona are successful, the Merged Group will emerge as a stronger and more diversified group and one with greater capacity to attract interest from the wider investment community. I am confident the Merged Group, with its broader asset base, will be better placed to withstand cyclical downturns in metal prices and volatility in the broader financial markets.

As Havilah already holds 45.38% of Curnamona, Curnamona is required to appoint an independent expert to assess whether, in the expert’s opinion, Havilah’s Offers are fair and reasonable to Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders respectively. Curnamona’s Target’s Statement, which will provide the Independent Expert’s Report and includes all the information known to Curnamona that you would reasonably require to decide whether or not to accept one or both of the Offers, has been sent to you at the same time as this Bidder’s Statement.

I encourage you to read this Bidder’s Statement carefully. If Havilah acquires all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options, Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders (apart from Havilah itself) will hold approximately 7% (undiluted) of Havilah, and you will therefore be in a position to participate on a similar basis with Havilah shareholders in the significant benefits and value the combination of Havilah and Curnamona will create. As with any investment there are risks and these are described in section 9 of this document.

The Offers are open until 7:00 pm (Adelaide time) on [to be advised] (unless extended under the Corporations Act). If you have any questions about the Offers please do not hesitate to contact the Havilah Offers Information Line on 08 8338 9292 (from within Australia) or +61 8 8338 9292 (from outside Australia) (normal charges apply).

Yours faithfully K R (Bob) Johnson, Chairman

1. REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT HAVILAH'S OFFERS

1.1 The Offers provide substantial value

The Share Offer represents:

  • a significant premium of 72.5% to the closing price of Curnamona Shares on Thursday 1 March 2012 [4] ; and

  • a 76% premium based on the companies’ respective 90 market trading day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Havilah Shares and Curnamona Shares to 1 March 2012 [5] .

The Listed Options Offer represents an implied value of 5.2 cents per Curnamona Listed Option[6] compared to the closing price of 0.5 cents on Thursday 1 March 2012. The new Havilah Listed Options will have an exercise price of 75 cents and will expire on 23 March 2014. The existing Curnamona Listed Options have an exercise price of 35 cents and expire on 29 November 2013.

1.2 You will hold shares or listed options in a more diversified company

Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will receive, respectively, fully paid ordinary shares and listed options in Havilah, which is a more diversified company that has a broader portfolio of projects and greater resources to manage both companies’ projects.

1.3 Havilah is better placed to develop Curnamona’s assets

Havilah is better placed to raise the substantial development capital required to develop Curnamona’s projects.

1.4 Risk of dilution on a capital raising

Curnamona has modest cash reserves and is very likely to require a capital raising in order to remain a going concern, absent ongoing financial support from Havilah. Havilah has recently issued a letter of financial support for Curnamona, pursuant to which Havilah has covenanted to provide ongoing financial support to enable Curnamona to pay its debts as and when they fall due for a period of not less than one year from 4 April 2012, being the date of signing the Curnamona financial report for the half year ended 31 January 2012.

Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders face the prospect of significant dilution from future capital raisings to fund and develop its projects.

1.5 No alternative offer

Havilah currently controls 45.38% of Curnamona and considers that the likelihood of another bidder emerging is remote. Havilah’s shareholding in Curnamona gives Havilah the ability to preclude any other bidder from obtaining control of Curnamona.

1.6 Risk of Curnamona’s share price falling

There is a significant risk that Curnamona’s Share price and the price of Curnamona Listed Options will fall upon the lapsing of Havilah’s Offers.

3. PROFILE OF HAVILAH

3.1 Sources of information

Havilah Resources NL (“ Havilah ”) is a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and as such is subject to Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) continuous reporting and disclosure obligations. Havilah will provide, free of charge, a copy of Havilah’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 2011, and of Havilah’s half year financial statements for the six months ended 31 January 2012, to any Curnamona Shareholder or Curnamona Listed Optionholder who requests a copy during the Offer Period.

3.2 Introduction

Havilah is an ASX listed junior explorer, exploring for copper, gold, iron ore, cobalt, tin and other base metals in South Australia. Havilah was officially admitted to the ASX on 18 March 2002 and quoted on the ASX on 21 March 2002.

3.3 Operations

Havilah is an independent mineral exploration company focused on South Australia and currently has its office in Adelaide, South Australia. It is actively working on bringing several projects into production.

3.4 Projects

Havilah’s six main mineral projects are within the Curnamona Craton in the northeast of South Australia. These are:

Portia Gold Project (100%)

This is a planned open cut gold mine with a granted mining lease, currently seeking approval of the Mining and Rehabilitation Plan. The deposit has a JORC Resource of 67,000 ounces of gold extractable by gravity separation methods.

Kalkaroo Copper-Gold Project (100%)

A proposed open cut copper-gold mine project with the following resources:

  • Gold Cap: 18.7Mt @ 0.74 g/t Au JORC Measured resource

  • Main deposit: 124.5Mt @ 0.50% Cu & 0.39g/t Au JORC Measured + Indicated resource.

A feasibility study has indicated that the project is bankable. Havilah recently announced its intention to seek offers for a full or partial sale of this asset.

Mutooroo Copper-Cobalt Project (100%)

A copper-cobalt-sulphur project located about 60 km west of Broken Hill, containing a JORC Indicated and Inferred resource of 13.1 million tonnes of 1.48% copper plus substantial cobalt and sulphur. This is initially planned as an open cut mine, which later in its life would move to underground mining.

North Portia Copper-Gold Project (100%)

A planned open cut copper-gold mine project with a JORC Inferred resource of 11.3 million tonnes grading 0.89% copper, 0.44 g/t gold and 500 ppm molybdenum. It is located 400 metres north of the Portia Gold Project.

Maldorky Iron Ore Project (100%)

An iron ore project with a JORC Indicated resource of 147 million tonnes of iron ore grading 30.1% iron. It is proposed to upgrade the mined ore to a saleable product containing at least 60% iron. This project has the development advantages of minimal overburden and closeness to the Transcontinental Railway (providing access to the coastal port at Adelaide).

Lilydale Iron Ore Project (100%)

An iron ore prospect with over 25 kilometres of strike of iron ore formations waiting to be evaluated by resource drilling. Initial reconnaissance drilling results are encouraging with preliminary metallurgy test work indicating that a high quality iron ore product is potentially recoverable.

15

3.5 Option and Joint Venture Agreement with MMG Exploration

Havilah has signed an option and joint venture agreement with MMG Exploration Pty Ltd ( MMG ) relating to exploration of all Havilah’s Curnamona Craton exploration licences north of the Barrier Highway. The Agreement excludes Kalkaroo EL 4645 and ML 6354 covering the Portia and North Portia deposits.

Under the Agreement MMG is required to spend an amount of $12 million over a period of 5 years on exploration work, which entitles MMG to secure a 60% participating interest in any potential development projects that it identifies within the exploration licences. MMG is required to spend a minimum of $3 million on exploration prior to withdrawal.

Havilah will retain 100% ownership of the exploration licences and may continue with exploration of them on its own account. During the term of the Agreement Havilah will be obliged to offer MMG a 60% participating interest in any new discoveries it makes for which it is seeking a development partner. In the event MMG elects to participate in a Havilah discovery, MMG will reimburse Havilah twice its verifiable exploration expenditure.

A development project will be operated under a normal joint venture arrangement in which Havilah will have the opportunity to either contribute to maintain its 40% participating interest, or dilute to a 20% project interest carried through to the mine development stage.

MMG Exploration Pty Ltd has also taken a placement of 4,000,000 Havilah Shares at an issue price of $1.25 per share, raising $5,000,000.

Further information on Havilah’s projects may be obtained from Havilah's website at www.havilah-resources.com.au.

  • (b) The Options held by the Optionholder are exercisable in whole or in part at any time before 23 March 2014 ( Exercise Period ). Options not exercised before the expiry of the Exercise Period will lapse.

  • (c) Options are exercisable by notice in writing to the Havilah Board delivered to the registered office of Havilah and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds. Some or all of the Options may be exercised at any one time or times prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period provided that no less than 1,000 Options are exercised at any one time (provided that an Optionholder holding less than 1,000 Options may exercise all but not part of those Options).

  • (d) Options are freely transferable.

  • (e) An Optionholder may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of Havilah Shares if the Option has been exercised and Shares allotted in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. Havilah must give prior notice to the Optionholder of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (f) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Havilah Shares, the number of Havilah Shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Havilah Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (g) If Havilah makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of Options on issue will be reduced according to the following formula:

Where:

23

A = the new exercise price of the Option;

O = the old exercise price of the Option;

E = the number of underlying Havilah Shares into which one Option is exercisable;

P = the average closing sale price per Havilah Share (weighted by reference to volume) recorded on ASX during the five trading days immediately preceding the ex rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises);

S = the subscription price per Havilah Share under the pro rata issue;

D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying Havilah Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

N = the number of Havilah Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Havilah Share

6 PROFILE OF CURNAMONA

6.1 Sources of information / disclaimer

Curnamona is a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and as such is subject to ASX continuous reporting and disclosure obligations. The following information about Curnamona has been prepared by Havilah using publicly available information and information provided by Curnamona that has not been independently verified. Accordingly Havilah does not, subject to the Corporations Act, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The information regarding Curnamona in this document should not be regarded as comprehensive.

Information in this section which has been released to ASX by Curnamona or provided to Havilah by Curnamona is dealt with in summary form only. You should refer to the Target’s Statement which has been sent to you at the same time as this Bidder’s Statement for more information in relation to Curnamona and you may also wish to view Curnamona’s website www.curnamona-energy.com.au.

A list of announcements made by Curnamona to ASX between the date of lodgement with ASIC of its six monthly financial report for the half year ended 31 January 2012 and 27 April 2012 (being the day before the date of lodgement of this Bidder’s Statement with ASIC) appears in Annexure C to this Bidder’s Statement.

6.2 Overview

Curnamona is an explorer aiming to find and develop tertiary age, sand-hosted uranium deposits.

6.3 Operations

Curnamona has an in situ leach testing operation at Oban (currently suspended) and an on-going exploration program in which it is currently carrying out its routine drill prospecting and tenement maintenance.

6.4 Development

Curnamona has no active production developments as the projects are still in evaluation stage.

6.5 Exploration

Drilling activity is progressing with two active drill rigs owned by Curnamona, although delays have occurred due to bad weather over the past 12 months. While there are numerous prosecting opportunities in the large tenement holding, there is scant attention focussed on the base metal and gold potential. Several anomalous base metal basement intersections have been made by Curnamona but these have only been on Havilah’s tenements to date. Under the Tenements Access Agreement between Curnamona and Havilah any base metal discoveries in the basement do not belong to Curnamona. Base metal potential also exists on the tenements it owns in its own right. However Curnamona does not have the personnel or funds to explore for base metals.

6.6 Reserves and Resources

The Oban deposit was drilled by Curnamona during 2006-2007 from which an Inferred Resource containing 2,200 tonnes of U3O8 was estimated. Field leach trials on this deposit have been unsuccessful to date for reasons that are not fully understood. At this stage this testing has been unable to confirm the recovery factor and consequently Curnamona has decided to restate the Inferred Resource for Oban when the uranium recovery estimates are available.

6.7 Curnamona's capital structure

As at 30 April 2012, Curnamona had the following classes of securities and number of securities in those classes:

Class of securities Number of securities in the class
Ordinary shares 66,116,234
Listed Options
Unlisted options
16,517,743
9,450,000

26

6.8 Curnamona Listed Options

There are 16,517,743 Curnamona Listed Options on issue, exercisable on or before 29 November 2013 for an exercise price of 35 cents per Curnamona Share. Havilah is offering one Havilah Listed Option for every five Curnamona Listed Options.

6.9 Market information about Curnamona Shares and Listed Options

In the four month period prior to the date of the Offers the range of prices of Curnamona Shares traded were:

Maximum 7.5 cents 13 December 2011

Minimum 6.5 cents 20 December 2011

In the four month period prior to the date of the Offers the range of prices of Curnamona Listed Options traded were:

Maximum 2.0 cents 3 November 2011

Minimum 0.5 cents 15 February 2012

6.10 Employee & Directors Share Options

Curnamona operates an employee share option plan as an incentive to employees and as a retention benefit to Directors and key employees.

A total of 1,450,000 Curnamona Employee Options have been issued to employees under the Curnamona Employee Share Option Plan, and a total of 8,000,000 Curnamona Director Options have been issued to Directors.

Curnamona Employee Options and Curnamona Director Options are unlisted and lapse upon termination of employment of the relevant employee or of the appointment of the relevant Curnamona Director. All Curnamona Unlisted Options vest in the event of a takeover offer.

It is important to note that the Offers do not extend to the Curnamona Unlisted Options. Holders of Curnamona Employee Options and Curnamona Director Options may however exercise all of their Unlisted Options before the end of the Offer Period and obtain Curnamona Shares, for which they may or may not accept the Share Offer as they decide.

Curnamona Employee Options

In respect to Curnamona Employee Options, under the Implementation Agreement Havilah must, before the end of the Offer Period, seek the consent of each holder of Curnamona Employee Options to the cancellation of their Employee Options held by them for the Employee Option Consideration, subject to:

  • (a) all Defeating Conditions being satisfied or waived by the end of the Offer Period; and

  • (b) Curnamona obtaining any necessary waiver from the ASX of Listing Rule 6.23.2 so as to permit the cancellation of the Curnamona Employee Options for the Employee Option Consideration without obtaining the approval of Curnamona Shareholders. Curnamona has applied for a waiver from the ASX from Listing Rule 6.23.2 so as to permit the cancellation of the Curnamona Employee Options for the Employee Option Consideration.

Havilah may also, if it so decides, make offers to acquire all of the Curnamona Employee Options during the Offer Period, provided that any offer made by Havilah to acquire the Employee Options must be for the Employee Option Consideration and the acquisition of the Employee Options must be completed not later than 1 month after the end of the Offer Period.

If at the end of the Offer Period Havilah holds at least 90% of the Curnamona Shares and the Offers are unconditional, Havilah will advise all Employee Optionholders who have not agreed to the cancellation of their Employee Options, or sale of their Employee Options to Havilah, of their right to have Havilah acquire their Employee Options in accordance with Division 3 of Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act.

27

Curnamona Director Options

With respect to Curnamona Director Options, it is a Defeating Condition that, 7 days before the Conditions Notice Date, each Curnamona Director Option has been exercised or cancelled, or the holder of Director Options has irrevocably agreed to the cancellation of their Director Options subject only to the Offers becoming free of all Defeating Conditions.

Under the Implementation Agreement Havilah and Curnamona are to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure satisfaction of that Defeating Condition, provided that this does not require either of them to provide any consideration for the cancellation or exercise of the Curnamona Director Options or to seek any waiver from ASX.

It is the present intention of each of the Curnamona Directors (other than Mr Phillip Staveley who does not hold any Curnamona Director Options) to agree, 7 days before the Conditions Notice Date, to the cancellation of their Curnamona Director Options, subject only to the Offers becoming free of all Defeating Conditions. Any of the Curnamona Directors may however decide, in their sole discretion, to exercise their Curnamona Director Options and so receive Curnamona Shares, and then accept the Curnamona Share Offer, subject to there being no Superior Proposal and no Havilah Material Adverse Change.

6.11 Source of financial information

The information in section 6.12 is only a summary of Curnamona’s historical financial information. Full details of Curnamona’s historical financial information, including applicable notes and the accounting policies underlying their preparation, are contained in Curnamona’s annual financial report for the year ended 31 July 2011 and half year financial statements for the half year ended 31 January 2012, copies of which can be found on the Curnamona website and in Curnamona’s past announcements to ASX.

7 HAVILAH'S INTENTIONS IN RELATION TO CURNAMONA

7.1 Overview of intentions

This section sets out the intentions of Havilah on the basis of the facts and information concerning Curnamona which are available to Havilah at the time of preparation of this document and the existing circumstances affecting the business of Curnamona so far as they are known to Havilah, in relation to the following:

  • (a) the continuation of, and changes to, Curnamona's business and assets;

  • (b) the compulsory acquisition of Curnamona's Shares and Curnamona Listed Options and delisting of Curnamona; and

  • (c) the future employment of present employees of Curnamona.

All statements of intention in this section are statements of current intention only and may change as new information becomes available and/or circumstances change.

7.2 Background to intentions

It is Havilah’s current intention to maintain Curnamona’s tenements and work towards the development of its uranium resources. These assets, if brought to development, may be valuable for Havilah and the Merged Group.

The exploration tenements that Curnamona holds in its own right have good potential for base metal mineralisation. Havilah will aim to conduct exploration for these base metals on the Curnamona exploration licenses. If the Merger does not proceed, Curnamona may have difficulty in raising new capital or attracting a funding partner for its assets. While Curnamona has an estimated uranium resource, there are technical problems relating to the commercial extraction.

7.3 Intentions following Havilah acquiring 90% of more of Curnamona Shares

If Havilah acquires a relevant interest in 90% or more of the Curnamona Shares, it has the following intentions:

Corporate Matters

  • (a) Proceed with the compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Curnamona Shares and Curnamona Listed Options in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) Make arrangements for Curnamona to be removed from the official list of ASX.

If at the end of the Offer Period Havilah holds acceptances for more than 90% of Curnamona Listed Options but less than 90% of Curnamona Shares, then Havilah does not, at this time, intend to declare the Offers to be unconditional and seek to compulsorily acquire all outstanding Curnamona Options. Havilah will however reassess this position at the relevant time, particularly if it holds close to 90% of the Curnamona Shares.

Operations, developments and exploration

Curnamona’s activities will be managed internally by Havilah once the Merger is complete and accounting systems adjusted to track the costs associated with the Curnamona as a division of Havilah. The staff and executive directors of Havilah will manage and carry out work on Curnamona’s projects as Havilah management considers appropriate.

Curnamona management

One geologist works in Curnamona who manages the field crew. It is Havilah’s intention that the employees will be transferred to Havilah. No loss of knowledge is anticipated.

7.4 Intentions if Havilah acquires less than 90% of Curnamona Shares

The Offers are subject to a number of conditions, being the Defeating Conditions, including a condition that Havilah and its Associates acquire a relevant interest in 90% or more of the Curnamona Shares on issue. Havilah does not currently intend to waive this condition. However, if it does not acquire 90% or

33

more of the Curnamona Shares on issue, but waives that condition, then Havilah has the following intentions.

Corporate matters

Havilah intends to maintain Curnamona’s listing on ASX while it meets ASX requirements for maintaining a listing and it is cost effective to do so. If Havilah becomes entitled at some later time to exercise general compulsory acquisition rights under the Corporations Act, it would exercise those rights.

Assumption of control of Board and management

Subject to the Corporations Act and the constitution of Curnamona, Havilah will seek to remove one member of the Board of Curnamona to reflect Havilah’s proportionate ownership interest in Curnamona. Havilah will seek, through its nominees on the board of Curnamona, to implement the intentions detailed in section 7.3 to the extent that they are consistent with Curnamona being a controlled entity of Havilah and are considered to be in the best interests of all Curnamona Shareholders.

Other intentions

Subject to the above, it is the present intention of Havilah on the basis of the information concerning Curnamona which is known to it at the date of this document and the existing circumstances affecting the business of Curnamona, that:

  • (a) the business of Curnamona will be otherwise continued in substantially the same manner as it is presently being conducted;

  • (b) no other major changes will be made to the business of Curnamona;

  • (c) there will not be any other redeployment of the fixed assets of Curnamona; and

  • (d) the present employees of Curnamona will be employed by Havilah.

8 PROFILE OF THE MERGED GROUP

8.1 Overview of the Merged Group

The Merged Group will provide shareholders with a diversified exploration company with potential for significant growth resulting in economic benefits which may not be available to either Havilah or Curnamona individually.

8.2 Pro forma historical information for the Merged Group

This section 8 contains reviewed pro forma financial information for the Merged Group, reflecting the aggregated businesses of Havilah and Curnamona. The pro forma financial information is presented in this section 8 to provide Curnamona Shareholders with an indication of the profile of the Merged Group as at the date of the latest disclosed reviewed financial accounts for both Havilah and Curnamona, being 31 January 2012.

Since Curnamona is already a partly owned Subsidiary of Havilah the accounts of Havilah are already consolidated to include the accounts of Curnamona.

The information in this section 8 is presented on a reviewed pro forma basis only. As a result it is likely that this information will differ from the actual financial information for the Merged Group. The pro forma historical balance sheet of the Merged Group as at 31 January 2012 and the pro forma adjustments are disclosed in this section 8.

8.3 Basis of preparation of the Merged Group pro forma financial information

The Merged Group pro forma financial information has been prepared on the basis that Havilah acquires

Curnamona and accordingly:

  • (a) the accounting policies of the Merged Group used to prepare the Merged Group pro forma financial information are based on AASB standards; and

  • (b) the Merged Group pro forma financial information has been presented based on the reviewed historical financial statements of Havilah and Curnamona as at 31 January 2012; and

  • (c) the Merged Group pro forma financial information is presented in abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually provided in an annual financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act. In particular it does not include notes to and forming part of the financial statements of Havilah or Curnamona.

No adjustments have been made in the Merged Group pro forma financial information for any expected synergies, integration costs, changes in interest income or expense or other costs that may impact the consolidated income statement following the acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and all Curnamona Listed Options. No adjustments have been made in the Merged Group pro forma financial information for any one-off or non-recurring costs or discontinued operations.

8.4 Pro forma unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at 31 January 2012

The Merged Group's reviewed pro forma balance sheet is compiled from the aggregation of the:

The pro-forma balance sheet shows adjustments based on the following transactions as if they occurred on 31 January 2012.

8.5 Notes to pro-forma consolidated balance sheet

Since the Havilah accounts are already consolidated to include its Subsidiary Curnamona, the pro forma balance sheet is the same as that for Havilah Resources NL apart from the adjustments below.

8.6 Pro forma adjustments

The following pro forma adjustments (listed as notes in the reviewed pro forma historical balance sheet in section 8.4 above) have been made in the compilation of Merged Group pro forma financial information on the assumed acquisition of all Curnamona Shares and all Curnamona Listed Options by Havilah:

  • (a) Payment of advisory fees on completion of the Offers estimated at $100,000.

  • (b) Havilah's purchase of all Curnamona Shares on the issue of 1 Havilah Share to Curnamona Shareholders for every 5 Curnamona Shares held, as well as on the issue of 1 Havilah Listed Option to Curnamona Listed Optionholders for every 5 Curnamona Listed Options held. The maximum number of Havilah Shares issued under the Offers will be 7,223,447 valued at $5,056,273. This assumes that no Curnamona Options will be exercised during the Offer Period. The maximum number of new Havilah Listed Options will be 1,803,549 valued at $405,887.

8.7 Main assumptions

It has been assumed that:

  • (a) 101,323,223 Havilah Shares are on issue immediately prior to Havilah acquiring all Curnamona Shares and all Curnamona Listed Options;

  • (b) 66,116,234 Curnamona Shares are on issue immediately prior to Havilah acquiring all Curnamona Shares of which Havilah already holds 30,000,003 leaving 36,116,231 to be acquired;

  • (c) 16,517,743 Listed Options are on issue immediately prior to Havilah acquiring all of the Curnamona Listed Options of which Havilah already holds 7,500,001 leaving 9,017,742 to be acquired;

  • (d) Havilah’s share price is 70 cents (being the closing price of Havilah Shares on ASX on [to be advised] on the date Havilah acquires all Curnamona Shares and Curnamona Listed Options;

  • (e) for the purposes of calculating goodwill in the pro forma Merged Group balance sheet as at 31 January 2012, the book value of Curnamona’s assets and liabilities is assumed to be equal to their fair value as at 31 July 2011. The fair value assessment post acquisition may result in the identification of differences from book value which could materially impact the gain recognised on acquisition in the Merged Group’s pro forma balance sheet.

8.8 Material items post 31 January 2012

Since 31 January 2012 the following material event should be considered in addition to the pro forma Merged Group’s balance sheet (and which is not taken account of in the pro forma Merged Group’s balance sheet):

ASX Announcement on 17 April 2012 Drilling Update at Kalkaroo (in which initial results from step-out drilling at Kalkaroo to have the potential to increase the known resource).

8.9 Outlook for the Merged Group

If Havilah acquires all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options Havilah will remain the entity listed on the ASX and will be the ultimate holding company for all companies within the new Merged Group. The acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options will result in a Merged Group with a diversified portfolio of mineral tenements.

This Bidder's Statement does not include forecasts or projections for production or earnings in relation to Havilah or the Merged Group. Havilah believes that the inclusion of such forecasts would be unduly speculative and potentially misleading to Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders, particularly in the current uncertain economic environment and due to the effect that minerals and energy prices may have on future production and earnings performance.

9 INVESTMENT RISKS

9.1 Introduction

An overview of the key risks that may have a material adverse impact upon the implementation of the Offers, the future performance of the Merged Group and the value of Havilah Shares are described in this Bidder’s Statement and include those risks set out in this section 9. The risks identified in this section 9 are not exhaustive. Havilah gives no assurances or guarantees of future performance or profitability, or payment of dividends by, the Merged Group.

Additionally Havilah gives no assurances or guarantees that the risks set out in this document will not change. There may be other material risks which are not disclosed in this document because they were not known by Havilah or were not considered to be material at the date of this Bidder's Statement. Many of the risks below arising from Havilah’s Offers are also inherent within each of Curnamona and Havilah as separate entities.

The value of the Offers to Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will depend upon the future performance of the Merged Group and the value of Havilah Shares. As a result, Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders should carefully consider both the risks affecting the Offers and those risks affecting the future performance of the Merged Group and the value of the Havilah Shares.

Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders should be aware that an investment in the Merged Group has risks which are associated with investing in listed securities. Any future dividends, the value of the Merged Group's assets and the market value or price of the Havilah Shares quoted on ASX may be influenced by these and other risk factors.

Many of these factors are common to those affecting the current performance of Havilah and Curnamona. Some of the risks may be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls. However, many risks that may affect the Merged Group are outside the control of Havilah, Curnamona and the Merged Group.

This section 9 does not take into account the investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs of individual Curnamona Shareholders or Curnamona Listed Optionholders. It is important that Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders carefully read this Bidder's Statement in its entirety (particularly the risks set out in this section 9), consider their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek independent professional advice before deciding whether to accept either Offer.

9.2 Specific risk factors that affect the Merged Group

Set out below are some of the key risks that have been identified as potentially affecting the performance of the Merged Group, the ability of the Merged Group to pay dividends and the value of the Havilah Shares.

The past performance of Havilah and Curnamona is not necessarily representative of the future performance of the Merged Group or the value of Havilah Shares.

(a) Metal prices

Any future earnings of the Merged Group will be significantly affected by local and worldwide metal prices. Low metal prices will have a materially adverse affect on the Merged Group. It is not possible to accurately predict future movements in metal prices particularly in the current uncertain economic environment.

(b) Production and operation risks

Mining activities carry an inherent degree of risk. Various production and operational factors could affect the success of the Merged Group. These include unanticipated mining or geological conditions, climatic conditions, environmental issues, exploration results, equipment failures, transport interruptions, processing inputs, industrial disputes, cost overruns and other general operating risks. Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will be exposed to production and operational risks associated with Havilah’s business if Havilah acquires all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options.

Certain approvals (whether regulatory, environmental or otherwise) may be needed in connection with the operations of the Merged Group and there is a risk that these approvals will not be given, or will be delayed.

39

(c) Development Consents

There is a risk that additional development consents will be required. There is also a risk that the Merged Group will not be able to satisfy the requirements to obtain these development consents or will be able to obtain such consents only on onerous terms and conditions. The Merged Group may also incur material expenses and costs in seeking and obtaining such consents.

(d) Developments

Development projects may incur further costs than currently anticipated or may be delayed due to the need to obtain regulatory approvals or licenses or due to problems with contractors or suppliers, financing issues or accidents during construction or commissioning of mines.

(e) Timing delays

There is a risk that the Merged Group will not achieve its financial and strategic goals due to delays or difficulties occurring during the integration of the two businesses.

(f) Increased Financing costs

Havilah may incur greater than anticipated implementation costs during the integration of the businesses of Havilah and Curnamona. The net funds of the Merged Group may not be sufficient for expenditure that may be required to integrate the operations of Havilah and Curnamona or to expand its operations or projects or for other capital expenditure, further exploration or feasibility studies or otherwise in the Merged Group’s operations. The Merged Group may need to raise additional debt or equity funds in the future. There is no assurance that the Merged Group will be able to obtain additional debt or equity funding when required in the future, or that the terms associated with such funding will be acceptable to the Merged Group, particularly having regard to the current uncertain economic environment and the effect that metal prices may have on future production and earnings performance. This may have an adverse effect on the Merged Group’s financial results.

(g) Cash position

There is no guarantee that the Merged Group will be able to maintain a sufficient cash balance following the acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options.

(h) Hedging risk

Neither Havilah nor Curnamona currently use hedging contracts to reduce the impact of future fluctuations on exposures such as the price of metals and currency exchange rates. However, hedging contracts entered into in the future may negatively impact the profitability of the Merged Group if unanticipated changes in metal prices or exchange rates occur. In the current uncertain economic environment such changes have been occurring, and may continue to occur, frequently.

(i) Accounting

The Merged Group will be required to perform a fair value assessment of all of Curnamona’s assets and liabilities following the acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options. This assessment may result in increased depreciation and amortisation charges. These charges may be substantially greater than those that would exist in Havilah and Curnamona as separate businesses.

(j) Re-rating

Post Merger, Havilah may not achieve an improved re-rating of its share price or an improved credit profile. Due to the occurrence of adverse changes in the business or unforeseen circumstances, Havilah Shares may decline in value.

(k) Regulatory and legislative risks

Any changes in the laws and regulations under which the Merged Group operates may adversely impact on the Merged Group’s activities, planned projects and financial results. These laws and regulations include mining and exploration-related laws, laws requiring permits and licences, environmental regulations and health and safety laws and regulations.

40

(l) Environment

Mining and exploration activities are strictly regulated by environmental legislation and government authorities. There is a risk that environmental regulation may prevent or impede the Merged Group’s activities. It is possible that environmental approvals for the Merged Group’s projects are not granted or are delayed. If this occurred it may materially affect the Merged Group’s earnings.

(m) Litigation

The Merged Group may be subject to litigation and other claims based on the conduct of Havilah and Curnamona that occurred prior to the acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options and the conduct of Havilah which follows the acquisition.

(n) Resource and Reserve estimates

Havilah has made estimates of its resources based on relevant reporting codes, where required, and judgments based on knowledge, skills and industry experience. However, there is no guarantee that estimates will prove to be accurate. Actual mining results may materially differ from estimates due to further findings and results not previously known or fluctuations in operating costs, exchange rates and metal prices.

(o) Insurance

The Merged Group will have various insurances covering its business. However, certain risks are not covered by insurance due to limitations or exclusions in insurance policies or because the Merged Group will have decided not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or for other reasons. Mining accidents, cave-ins, business interruption, compensation claims, environmental effects, fires, floods earthquakes and various other events may not be adequately covered by insurance. Such insurance could significantly increase the costs of the Merged Group.

(p) Health and safety

The businesses of Havilah and Curnamona are subject to strict health safety and safety laws and regulations. The Merged Group may become liable for past and current conduct of Havilah and Curnamona which violates such laws and regulations. Penalties for breaching health and safety laws can be significant and include criminal penalties. Victims of workplace accidents may also commence civil proceedings against the Merged Group. These events might not be insured by the Merged Group or may be uninsurable. In addition, any changes in health and safety laws and regulations may increase compliance costs for the Merged Group. Such an event would negatively impact the financial results of the Merged Group.

(q) Native title

Havilah’s and Curnamona’s mineral tenements and other entitlements to property and minerals may be affected by native title claims, unregistered agreements, transfers or unknown defects in title. Native title claims and Aboriginal heritage issues may have a material adverse impact on the Merged Group’s activities and may hinder or prevent its mining and exploration activities.

(r) Past transactions

Previous transactions undertaken by either Havilah or Curnamona which involved the acquisition or disposal of assets may continue to bear risks associated with the possibility of warranty or other claims in connection with such transactions to which it was a party.

(s) Competition

Upon entry into production, the Merged Group will be subject to competition from other miners. Competitors include current miners and future entrants into the market. Other companies may have competitive advantages such as new technology and new production processes. The Merged Group may be unable to successfully compete and may suffer material adverse consequences such as loss of market share and customers.

(t) Counterparty risk

There is a risk, which is higher in the current uncertain economic environment, that contracts and other arrangements to which Havilah and Curnamona are party and obtain a benefit will not be performed by the relevant counterparties if the those counterparties become insolvent or are otherwise unable to perform their obligations.

41

9.3 General risk factors

In addition to the specific business risks above, there are a number of general risks associated with holding Havilah Shares including, but not limited to, the following risks which may impact the operations or financial performance of the Merged Group, the market for its products or the price of Havilah Shares:

  • (a) changes to government, legislation, government or regulatory regulations and policy (including taxation laws and policies, accounting laws, policies and standards and practices, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies and the introduction of a carbon tax and trading emission schemes and government “climate-change” policy);

  • (b) the condition of the Australian and overseas economies (including the aggregate investment being undertaken and economic output occurring in those economies, inflation and interest rates and the prices of products which are inputs used in the operations of the Merged Group);

  • (c) investor sentiment, local and international stock market conditions, adverse industry publicity and recommendations by brokers and analysts; and

  • (d) global geo-political events, hostilities and acts of terrorism.

42

10 TAXATION INFORMATION

10.1 Background

This taxation summary provides a general description of the Australian taxation consequences for Curnamona Shareholders who dispose of their Curnamona Shares pursuant to the Share Offer, and Curnamona Listed Optionholders who dispose of their Curnamona Listed Options pursuant to the Listed Options Offer.

This summary does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder.

This taxation summary is not, and is not intended to be, taxation advice to any Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder and should not be relied on as such.

The summary does not address the taxation consequences for:

  • (a) Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders who are subject to special tax rules (for example, tax exempt entities, insurance companies and superannuation funds);

  • (b) Curnamona Shareholders or Listed Optionholders who acquired their Curnamona Shares (or options to acquire Curnamona Shares) or Curnamona Listed Options in respect of their employment, or an associate’s employment, with Curnamona or an associated company of Curnamona; or

  • (c) non-resident Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders who hold their Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options through a permanent establishment in Australia.

All Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders should seek their own independent professional advice regarding the taxation implications associated with the Offers. The following description is based upon the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as in effect at March 2012 but it is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of the applicable law.

10.2 Capital Gains Tax

Summary

The sale of Curnamona Shares and Curnamona Listed Options pursuant to the Offers will constitute a disposal of the Curnamona Shares and Listed Options respectively and a “CGT event” for Australian capital gains tax ( CGT ) purposes. The “date of disposal” for capital gains tax purposes will generally be the date that the relevant Offer is accepted. If, for any reason the Offers do not proceed, no disposal will occur. A Curnamona Shareholder or Curnamona Listed Optionholder may make a capital gain or a capital loss from the disposal of, respectively, Curnamona Shares pursuant to the Share Offer or Curnamona Listed Options pursuant to the Listed Options Offer. These amounts will be relevant in determining whether the Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder is required to include a net capital gain in their assessable income for the income year in which the relevant Offer is accepted. In general, capital gains and capital losses are firstly aggregated to determine whether there is a net capital gain, which is calculated after taking into account any discount capital gains or other concessions in respect of the capital gains. The remaining net capital gain is included in assessable income and subject to tax at the applicable marginal rate of the Curnamona Shareholder and Listed Optionholder.

Capital Gain

Australian Resident Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders

The taxation treatment on the disposal of Curnamona Shares by Curnamona Shareholders and of Curnamona Listed Options by Curnamona Listed Optionholders will depend upon whether the Curnamona Shares or Listed Options are held on revenue or capital account. Australian resident Curnamona Shareholders who trade in Curnamona Shares and Curnamona Listed Optionholders who trade in Listed Options as part of the ordinary course of their business would hold their Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options respectively on revenue account. These Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will be required to include the profit arising from the disposal of their ordinary Curnamona Shares and Curnamona Listed Options in their assessable income. Conversely, a loss arising from the disposal of Curnamona Shares or Listed Options on revenue account would be allowed as a deduction from assessable income. Generally, all other Australian resident Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders will hold their Curnamona Shares or Listed Options respectively on capital account. These Australian resident Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders should consider the impact of Australian capital gains tax rules on the disposal of their Curnamona Shares and Listed Options.

43

A Curnamona Shareholder and Listed Optionholder will acquire their Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options respectively on the date the relevant Offer is accepted. The cost base of the Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options acquired under either Offer should be determined with reference to the market value of Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options respectively on the date of issue (that is, the date of disposal of their Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options respectively) (or, the case of Havilah Listed Options, on the first day of quotation on ASX). This is subject to obtaining access to scrip-for-scrip rollover relief discussed below, in which case the cost base of Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options will be determined with reference to the cost base of the Curnamona Shares Curnamona Listed Options respectively.

Subject to the application of the CGT scrip-for-scrip rollover relief discussed below, an Australian resident Curnamona Shareholder and or Curnamona Listed Optionholder will derive a capital gain where the proceeds received on disposal of their Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options exceed the cost base. The capital proceeds received on disposal of Curnamona Shares will be the market value of the Havilah Shares the Curnamona Shareholder receives under the Share Offer. The capital proceeds received on disposal of Curnamona Listed Options will be the market value of the Havilah Listed Options the Curnamona Listed Optionholder receives under the Listed Option Offer. A Curnamona Shareholder and/or Curnamona Listed Optionholder will make a capital loss on the disposal of their Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options respectively where the disposal proceeds received are less than the reduced cost base of the Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options respectively for capital gains tax purposes. Capital losses can only be used to offset current year capital gains or carried forward to offset future capital gains. They cannot be used to reduce non capital income. Any net capital gain (after recoupment of capital losses) is included in the shareholder’s or optionholder’s assessable income. The applicable tax payable on the net capital gain will be dependent on the type of shareholder or optionholder. An Australian tax resident individual shareholder or optionholder will be taxed at their marginal rate. Alternatively, an Australian resident company shareholder or optionholder will be subject to tax at the corporate rate of 30% of taxable income. Where an Australian resident shareholder or optionholder has held the ordinary share or option as a capital asset for at least 12 months the capital gain may be reduced by the general CGT discount concession for particular shareholders and optionholders. The discount percentage for individuals and trusts is 50%, and for complying superannuation funds and life insurance companies 33%. This means generally only 50% (for individuals and trusts) and 67% (for complying superannuation funds) of the capital gain is included in shareholder’s or optionholder’s assessable income after the offset of any capital losses. Corporate shareholders and optionholders are not eligible for the general CGT discount concession.

Non-Australian Resident Shareholders and Optionholders

Where non-Australian residents hold Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options on revenue account, the profits on their disposal may be required to be included in the shareholder’s or optionholders assessable income. This is subject to the application of any double tax treaty relief which may exclude such profits from Australian taxation.

Generally, all other non-Australian resident Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders will hold their Curnamona Shares and Listed Options on capital account. These Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders should consider the impact of Australian capital gains tax rules on the disposal of their Curnamona Shares and Listed Options. Non-Australian resident shareholders are only subject to Australian capital gains tax where those shareholders are disposing of shares in an Australian company where they held 10% or more of the company and the company predominately holds interests in land and/or mining, quarrying or prospecting rights within Australia. This will also be subject to any double tax treaty relief. Non-Australian resident shareholders and optionholders will need to seek specific advice in respect of their particular circumstances with respect to Australian capital gains tax on the disposal of Curnamona Shares and Listed Options at the time of any disposal

Scrip-for-scrip Rollover Relief

If as a result of the Share Offer, Havilah acquires at least 80% of the Curnamona Shares, CGT scrip-forscrip rollover relief ( Rollover Relief ) may be available to Curnamona qualifying Shareholders and Listed Optionholders who would otherwise realise a capital gain from the disposal of Curnamona Shares and Listed Options pursuant to the Share Offer or Listed Options Offer respectively. Scrip-for-scrip rollover relief may not be available to non-residents. Non-residents should seek tax advice in relation to how the rollover relief applies to their specific circumstances. The cost base for Havilah Shares and Listed Options acquired under the Share Offer or Listed Options Offer and subject to rollover relief will generally be the cost base of the original parcel of Curnamona Shares and Listed Options disposed of under the Share Offer or Listed Options Offer respectively.

44

Rollover Relief will not be available to Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders who realise a capital loss from the disposal of Curnamona Shares or Curnamona Listed Options. Where Rollover Relief is available a Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder can elect to either obtain Rollover Relief or recognise the capital gain. A Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder cannot elect for Rollover Relief to apply where the disposal of Curnamona Shares or Listed Options gives rise to a capital loss. If Rollover Relief is available and the Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder elects for Rollover Relief to apply, any capital gain realised by the Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder from the disposal of Curnamona Shares or Listed Options will be disregarded. Instead, Curnamona Shareholders electing Rollover Relief in respect of their Curnamona Shares will acquire a cost base in the replacement Havilah Shares equal to its cost base in the Curnamona Shares prior to disposal, and Curnamona Listed Optionholders electing Rollover Relief in respect of their Curnamona Listed Options will acquire a cost base in the replacement Havilah Listed Options equal to its cost base in their Curnamona Listed Options prior to disposal. If Rollover Relief is available and a Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder elects for it to apply, the Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder does not need to lodge a formal election or other document with the Australian Taxation Office. Instead, the income tax return of the Curnamona Shareholder or Listed Optionholder needs to be completed in a manner consistent with the Rollover Relief being available. The effect of choosing Rollover Relief will depend upon the particular circumstances of each Curnamona Shareholder and Listed Optionholder and may not benefit all Shareholders or Listed Optionholders. Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders should seek their own independent tax advice in relation to whether to choose Rollover Relief.

10.3 GST

Australian GST should not apply to the disposal of Curnamona Shares and Listed Options by Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders, the issue of Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options, or any subsequent disposal of Havilah Shares or Havilah Listed Options by Havilah Shareholders or Havilah Listed Optionholders. Curnamona Shareholders and Curnamona Listed Optionholders who are registered for Australian GST purposes may not be entitled to full input tax credits for any GST incurred on costs associated with acquiring or disposing of shares in Havilah or Curnamona. Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders should seek their own tax advice in this respect.

10.4 Stamp Duty

No stamp duty will be payable by Curnamona Shareholders and Listed Optionholders on the transfer of Curnamona Shares or Listed Options to Havilah or on the issue of Havilah Shares to Curnamona Shareholders or of Havilah Listed Options to Curnamona Listed Optionholders.
