Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of our Company, the Directors and our management.

We cannot and do not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

We have no intention to update or revise forwardlooking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.

Cautionary Note Regarding Reserves and Resources

You should be aware that as an Australian company with securities listed on the ASX, the Company is required to report reserves and resources in Australia in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code 2012 Edition) (JORC Code). You should note that while the Company’s reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators and (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The JORC Code differs in several significant respects from Industry Guide 7. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the US Securities and Exchange Commission generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral

resources in SEC filings. Information contained in this presentation describing the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by Canadian or US companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the company will be able to legally and economically extract them.

Competent Person Statement

The information in this Prospectus (including the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 7 of this Prospectus) that relates to exploration targets, exploration results, mineral resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by Peter Goldner, a competent person who is Fellow and Chartered Professional of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mineral Valuers and Appraisers (AMIVA). Peter Goldner has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. Peter Goldner consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his work in the form and context in which it appears.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [333 x 163] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Investor

I have the pleasure in presenting what the Board of Directors believe is an exciting opportunity to invest in Alderan Resources Limited (the Company or Alderan).

As detailed in this Prospectus, the Company has assembled a large holding of claims over the Pruess and San Francisco mining districts in Beaver County, Utah, United States (Frisco Project), which is host to three deposits, each with historic mining and previous drilling. These are:

  • the Cactus copper-gold-silver deposit and breccia pipe, one of several mineralised breccia pipes over an area of approximately 1000 metres by 400 metres. Modelling of magnetic survey data demonstrates that these pipes are likely connected at depth;

  • the Accrington copper-zinc-silver-gold skarn, which hosts extensive mineralisation across an area of 1.8 kilometres by 1.2 kilometres; and

  • the Horn zinc deposit, a historic lead-silver mine, which contains significant amounts of unmined high grade zinc.

The Company believes that these three deposits are genetically related to, and were formed contemporaneously with, underlying mineralised (copper-molybdenum-gold) porphyry intrusions. Work undertaken by the Company has confirmed the presence of a mineralised porphyry system and that the Frisco Project exhibits many of the classical signatures of large fertile porphyries.

Exploration will initially focus on the Cactus and Accrington deposits, which both exhibit large geochemical and geophysical footprints indicating that historical drilling only tested a small part of these mineralised zones.

The Company’s strategy upon successfully listing is to:

  • commence a 10,000 metre drilling program with a particular focus on the Cactus and Accrington prospects; and

  • conduct an induced polarisation survey across the Frisco Project.

It is hoped that the work program will enable the Company to establish initial JORC-compliant resources across one or more prospects and/or uncover new mineral discoveries.

The Company, by way of this Prospectus, is offering for subscription up to 42,500,000 Shares at $0.20 each to raise a minimum of $6,500,000 and a maximum of $8,500,000 (before costs and expenses) (Offer).

This Prospectus provides detailed information regarding the Offer, the Company’s assets, the Company’s proposed activities following listing on the ASX and the risk factors associated with investing in the Company.

I recommend that you read this Prospectus in its entirety prior to making a decision to invest in the Company. It will provide a clear review of the assets in question and the proposed direction of the Company.

On behalf of the Board, I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder of Alderan.

Yours sincerely,

Nicolaus Heinen Chairman

2. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Investment Overview contains a summary of what the Directors consider to be key information with respect to the Company and the Offer. It is not a summary of this Prospectus.

If you are considering an investment in the Company, it is important that you read this Prospectus carefully, in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary before deciding to invest in the Company.

Accordingly, you should carefully consider the risk factors in light of your personal circumstances and seek professional advice from your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest. The Shares that are offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

----- Start of picture text -----

Question Answer Section
What are the The Company holds mineral rights to the Frisco Project in Utah, USA 4.4 and 7
Company’s through its wholly owned subsidiary, Volantis Resources Corp.
projects and
The Frisco Project hosts three advanced exploration prospects.
where are
These are:
they located?
(a) The Cactus copper-gold-silver prospect, a historic mine with
drilling, post the closure of the mine, identifying extensive
remaining mineralisation open to depth and along strike, with
recent geophysical surveys and modelling by Alderan indicating
potential for significant extensions to depth;
(b) The Accrington copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold prospect, a large
mineralised skarn which outcrops at surface across an area of
approximately 1.8km by 1.2km, with widespread historical mining
activity and historical drilling; and
(c) The Horn zinc-lead-silver prospect, a historical high grade lead-
silver mine with significant remaining zinc dominant defined
by drilling and exploration works undertaken since the mine’s
closure.
A possible fourth prospect, called the Cactus Canyon prospect,
has been identified by modelling of magnetic data acquired by the
Company in a 2016 survey which included re-logging of historic core
and surface mapping. This identified a large anomaly associated
with mineralised copper-molybdenum porphyry. The Cactus Canyon
prospect lies within the centre of the Frisco Project and remains
largely untested due to the limited extent of historic drilling.
Although there have been various phases of exploration across the
Tenements that comprise the Frisco Project, the prospects on which
the Company is focusing are in the early stages of exploration and
do not contain any resources that are consistent with the current
JORC Code guidelines. Further evaluation of data and exploration
is required to determine whether any historical mineralisation
estimates within the licences may be upgraded to be consistent
with the current JORC Code guidelines.

benefits?
(b) The Company believes the Frisco Project hosts at least
4 prospects with demonstrable potential to host economic
resources.
(c) Utah is one of the leading investment destinations in the world
for mineral exploration and mining, with a long history of mining
that continues to this day.
(d) The Frisco Project is located principally on private lands,
adjacent to sealed roads, a 306MW wind power plant,
geothermal plant, a railway and mining facilities.
What are the key The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to 6
investment risks? certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating
and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks
can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the
Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its
activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks
are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can
effectively be managed is limited.
Offer risk
If ASX does not admit the Shares to Official Quotation before the
expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus,
or such period as varied by ASIC, the Company will not allot or
issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the
Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act,
without interest.

Question Answer Section
What are the key Liquidity risk 3.11
investment risks? Certain securities are likely to be classified as restricted securities.
(cont...) To the extent that Shares are classified as restricted securities, the
liquidity of the market for Shares may be adversely affected.
Limited exploration on the Frisco Project
Although there have been various phases of exploration across the
Tenements that comprise the Frisco Project, the prospects on which
the Company are focusing are in the early stages of exploration and
do not contain any resources that are consistent with the current
JORC Code guidelines. Further evaluation of data and exploration
is required to determine whether any historical mineralisation
estimates within the licences may be upgraded to be consistent
with the current JORC Code guidelines.
Exploration and evaluation risks
Mineral exploration, development and mining activities are high-risk
undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration on these
Tenements, or any other claims or leases that may be acquired in
the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit.
Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no
guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
Title risks
Mineral rights in the USA may be owned by private parties, local 8
government, state government, federal government, or indigenous
groups. Verifying the chain of title for USA mineral rights can be
complex and may require that remedial steps be taken to correct
any defect in title. Securing exploration and extraction rights to
federally-owned mineral rights requires strict adherence to claim
staking and maintenance requirements. The Company has taken
reasonable steps to verify the title to the Tenements in which it has,
or has a right to acquire, an interest. Although these steps are in
line with market practice for exploration projects such as the Frisco
Project, they do not guarantee title to the Tenements nor guarantee
that the Tenements are free of any third party rights or claims.
Future capital requirements
The Company’s activities are likely to require substantial
expenditure, in additional to the amounts raised under the Offer.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and
any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants,
which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be
obtained, there can be no assurance that appropriate capital or
funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to
the Company or at all. 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.

Answer Section

Question

What are the key investment risks? (cont...)

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Fluctuations in Commodity prices

The Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations are heavily dependent on prevailing metals prices, particularly copper. There can be no assurance that the existing level of metals prices will be maintained in the future. Any future declines, even relatively modest ones, in metals prices could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Exchange rate risks

The Company operates in multiple currencies and exchanges rates are constantly fluctuating. International prices of various commodities, as well as the exploration expenditure of the Company are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the Company will rely principally on funds raised and accounted for 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.

Other industry specific risks

The Company’s activities are subject to a number of risks common to the conduct of mining exploration and the financing of mining exploration activities, including but not limited to:

  • (a) risks inherent in resource estimation;

  • (b) operation and technical risks;

  • (c) environmental risks;

  • (d) tenure risks;

  • (e) contract counterparty risks; and

  • (f) competition risks.

4. COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

4.1 Background

Alderan was incorporated in Victoria on

31 July 2013 with a focus on securing, exploring for and developing base and precious metal projects. Alderan secured its initial lease over within the Frisco Project in 2015 and over the course of 12 months expanded its holdings through entering new leases and staking further claims. The Company now has leaseholder and option interests in mineral rights across 231 patented and 178 unpatented claims covering 24.77 km[2] through its US subsidiary Volantis Resources Corp. During that time the Company has also undertaken the following work across the project including:

  • (a) research, data mining and the digitisation of over 100 years of historical exploration and mining data, including developing digital databases of over 200 drill holes and the majority of historical geochemical sampling records;

  • (b) modelling of historical drilling and mine data at the Horn and Cactus mines;

  • (c) undertaking a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey across the project and developing a 3-dimensional model of the magnetic, geological and exploration data; and

  • (d) conducting extensive mapping, rock chip and geochemical sampling and laboratory analysis of over 670 samples and over 300 pXRF analyses conducted in the field.

This work has given the Company confidence that, in its opinion, mineralisation at the historic Cactus and Horn Mine remains open in most directions and that numerous historic workings at Accrington, form part of a larger mineralised skarn with dimensions of at least 1.8km by 1.2km.

Furthermore the Company also believes that the Cactus, Horn and Accrington prospects are part of a single mineral system, being related to an underlying mineralised and largely untested porphyry identified at Cactus Canyon.

The Company’s Frisco Project comprises of early to advanced stage exploration projects, with historical mining and exploration activity having identified mineralisation across four prospects, several of which have had significant drilling. The Company considers each of these prospects to have strong economic potential. Following the completion of the Offer and listing, the Company intends to move quickly into an aggressive exploration program consisting of drilling and geophysics across the Cactus, Accrington, Horn and Cactus Canyon projects.

4.2 Business Model

Alderan’s business model is to:

  • (a) discover and develop economic mineral deposits with a focus on data driven, systematic exploration, the use of modern technology and maximising expenditure on direct exploration;

  • (b) assess and secure additional mineral projects, only if they are demonstrably value accretive in order to avoid unnecessary dilution; and

  • (c) maintain a strong focus on the health and safety of our employees and contractors, building strong community relationships and working to best practice environmental standards.

4.3 Commercial arrangements

Please refer to Section 9 for further information about the material agreements relating to the Frisco Project.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 29

4.4 Project Location, Infrastructure and Business Environment

The Frisco Project is located in Beaver County, Utah, USA and is situated approximately 22.5 km to the west of the town of Milford. The project is well serviced by sealed roads and is in close vicinity to rail loading facilities at Milford, high voltage power lines and existing mining facilities (CS Mining LLC).

The project encompasses, the Horn Silver Mine, which is a historic producer of high grade silverlead ore, operating from the 1800’s to the mid 1900’s and the Cactus Mine, a historic producer of copper-silver-gold. The Horn Silver Mine at one stage supported the Frisco townsite, which hosted in excess of 4,000 people. Numerous other smaller mines are scattered across the Frisco project. No mining activities have occurred since the 1960’s[1] .

Utah has been ranked number 10, among 109 countries across the globe for its geological and mineral policy attractiveness[2] and continues to support a strong mining industry highlighted by Rio Tinto’s Bingham Canyon copper mine, which is one of the largest open pit mines in the world.

4.5 Project information and

exploration budget

The Frisco Project comprises of three distinct prospects which, in the Company’s opinion, all relate to an underlying mineralised porphyry intrusion, and a fourth prospect, across the 24.77km[2] of claims held by the Company. The Company’s prospects lie mostly on private land.

The Company has, over the course of the preceding 18 months, secured the mineral rights across 231 patented and 178 unpatented claims, which are governed by two lease agreements with the private landholder, Horn Silver Mines Inc. The Company’s prospects lie mostly on private land.

(a) Exploration Model

Historical exploration across the Frisco project has targeted each of the specific styles of mineralisation present – skarn, intrusive breccia, porphyry and carbonate replacement, with exploration often limited to specific areas within the Frisco area due to title constraints.

30 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

Following comprehensive data mining, digitisation and modelling of historical data, field mapping, sampling and a high definition magnetic and radiometric survey, the Company now believes that the Frisco Project represents a single mineralised porphyry system. This is supported by mapping and re-logging of historic drill core which confirmed the presence of mineralised porphyry intrusions within the Cactus Canyon prospect. Further, the Company is confident that mineralisation at the historic Horn Silver Mine (zinc-lead-silver), Accrington skarn (copper-zinc-silver-lead-gold) and the historic Cactus Mine (copper-gold-silver), are genetically related to and contemporaneous with the mineralise porphyry intrusions.

Modern knowledge of such mineralised porphyries, which account for the vast majority of the worlds copper and molybdenum production, has advanced significantly in the last few decades leading to new insights into the geological and mineral signatures of such systems[3] . As such, it is understandable that historic explorers, particularly in light of their often fragmented title over the project, were not able to conduct systematic exploration across the project, or draw the links between the various deposit styles.

(b) Cactus (Copper-Gold-Silver)

The Cactus prospect is an intrusive breccia pipe that includes the historic Cactus copper-goldsilver mine. Intermittent mining from 1870 to 1957 produced 76,007 tonnes of copper, 301,200 ounces of silver and 13,540 ounces of gold from 1,272,327 short tonnes of ore[4] . Selected drilling results, from drilling programs conducted since the 1950’s are provided in section 7.4 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

Features of the Cactus prospect include:

  • numerous outcropping copper-gold-silver mineralised breccias, including the Cactus, Comet, New Year and Purity breccias, across a structural corridor up to 1000m in length and up to 400m wide;

  • significant historical production from the central Cactus breccia, with subsequent drilling indicating wide zones of copper mineralisation remaining within the mined area;

  • identical mineralogy at the Cactus, New Year and Comet breccias suggesting they were formed in one continuous connected system;

  • distinct magnetic low signatures associated directly with the mapped breccias, with 3D inversion modelling showing the magnetic low bodies extending to depth and coalescing into a broader, contiguous magnetic low body;

  • indications of a widening mineralised body at depth from historic mining data (level maps) and drilling, which shows the mineralised copper-gold-silver breccia increasing in width to depth; and

  • the intersection of copper-molybenum mineralisation within a porphyry intrusive in a deep hole (DDH 520-1), located adjacent to the New Years breccia and within the 1000m long Cactus corridor indicating potential for porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralisation at depth.

The Company believes that mineralised copper bearing breccias across the Cactus corridor are likely to extend to depth and coalesce into a larger body of mineralised breccia or may lie above a mineralised porphyry intrusion. Exploration at Cactus will focus on:

  • (i) drill testing extensions of known mineralisation to depth and along strike; and

  • (ii) drilling within existing defined mineralisation to determine gold grades within the Cactus breccia.

An induced polarisation survey will also be conducted.

(c) Accrington (Copper-Zinc-Silver-Gold)

The Accrington prospect hosts numerous small scale historical workings and occurrences across an area of approximately 1.8km by 1.2km. Historical mining focused on high grade zinc-lead-silvercopper-gold veins and copper-zinc skarn.

Features of the Accrington prospect include:

  • skarn alteration and mineralisation across an area of approximately 4km long by up to 2km wide, with widespread outcropping mineralisation and historical small workings within the central 1.8km by 1.2km Accrington prospect;

  • wide areas of high-temperature garnetpyroxene and magnetite skarn at Accrington associated with copper-zinc mineralisation and strong magnetic high anomalies;

  • historical drilling which intersected copperzinc mineralisation (see section 7.4.2 of the Independent Geologist’s Report); and

31

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

  • wide areas of retrograde, lower temperature zinc anomalism and mineralisation in the western areas of Accrington (Washington claims) which are interpreted to represent the distal expression to higher grade copper-zinc mineralisation at depth; and

  • the presence of intrusive porphyry and aplitic dykes, which are common over Accrington, some mineralised with copper-gold and related to either the Cactus Canyon prospect or another possible mineralised porphyry intrusion.

The Company believes that the widespread mineralisation at surface, including wide intercepts of copper-zinc mineralisation in historic drilling, outcrops of further untested copper-zinc skarn and the scale of the Accrington skarn (1.8km by 1.2km), present strong evidence of the potential for the discovery of a large tonnage deposit at the prospect.

Exploration will focus on drill testing several areas of the Acccrington skarn including outcrops of copper-magnetite skarn and zinc anomalous areas in the Washington claim area.

(d) Horn (Zinc-Lead-Silver)

The Horn prospect centres on the historic Horn Silver Mine where production amounted to 18,159,901 ounces of silver and 178,321 tonnes of lead from 934,724 tonnes of crude ore across several decades of production until the 1960’s[5] . Miners focused on lead-silver production, despite the ore-body hosting zinc rich ore.

Subsequent drilling has intersected areas of high grade zinc within and below the mine, with underground channel sampling by several explorers also delineating further areas of high grade zinc. Work to date has not been sufficient to establish any resource. Selected drilling results are shown in section 7.4.3 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

The Company believes that the Horn prospect has potential for a medium sized resource of high grade zinc, which based on historical work, seems to be a mixture of oxide and sulphides. Work conducted by the Company to date, has focussed on digitising historical drilling, level maps and sampling records and on modelling mineralisation and historical workings. Initial work will focus on defining resources and investigating the possibility of accessing historical workings to enable future sampling for metallurgical testwork.

(e) Cactus Canyon (Copper-Molybdenum-Gold)

The Cactus Canyon prospect is a large scale copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry exploration target. Key features of the prospect include:

  • confirmation of mineralised coppermolybdenum porphyry intrusions at Cactus Canyon in several historic drill holes (DDH 520-1 and DDH520-4) which intersected mineralisation 1.2km apart with hole 520-4 intersecting weak mineralisation in the final 50m to end of hole at 267m;

  • 3D magnetic inversion modelling which reveals large areas of demagnetisation, correlating with mineralised porphyry intrusions found in historical drilling. The Company believes this represents a large hydrothermal alteration zone associated with the mineralised porphyry;

  • at least 4 individual porphyry intrusions identified to date; and

  • outcropping, albeit weak mineralisation, and high level porphyry alteration within Cactus Canyon indicating porphyry coppermolybdenum-gold potential to depth.

The Company believes that further evidence of the existence of a large, mineralised porphyry intrusive is to be found across the Frisco Project including:

  • the presence of numerous styles of distal mineralisation normally associated with porphyry intrusions including the Cactus breccia pipe, Accrington skarn and distal gold anomalism;

  • regional scale intrusion related alteration typical of porphyry intrusives;

  • mapping of numerous intrusive dikes, several mineralised with copper-gold, which are oriented in the direction of Cactus Canyon, likely representing radial dikes; and

  • large scale geochemical zonation across the entire Frisco Project with distal gold anomalism, trending to more proximal zinc-lead and central copper dominant anomalism – a key signature of many porphyry deposits[6] .

Exploration at Cactus Canyon will comprise of an initial 3D induced polarisation survey and further mapping followed by drill testing.

Further details in respect of the Frisco Project are set out in Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 7 of this Prospectus.

4.6 Work program and objectives

Despite the confirmation of an underlying mineralised porphyry within the Frisco Project at Cactus Canyon, a key question for the Company will be to determine where, within the overall system, the most prospective economic orebody may lie. Other ore deposits such as Los Bronces (Anglo American), and Antamina (BHP Billiton), demonstrate that economic mineralisation is not always deposited in the underlying porphyry, but can be found within the more distal breccias (Los Bronces) and skarn (Antamina).

Given the widespread mineralisation intersected in historical drilling and mining at Cactus (breccia pipe) and Accrington (skarn) and the indications from magnetic modelling demonstrating that mineralisation at these two prospects likely continues and increases in breadth at depth, the Company expects its initial focus to be on these prospects. Exploration at Cactus Canyon will comprise of an initial 3D induced polarisation survey and further mapping followed by drill testing. However it is also expected that exploration on the Cactus and Accrington prospects, will further understanding of and provide vectors to the underlying porphyry target.

An exploration budget is provided in section 8 of the Independent Geologist’s Report and the extent to which the funds raised under the Offer will be used towards funding this exploration budget is provided in Section 3.7. Depending on the amount raised under the Offer, and following completion of the Offer, the proposed work program will include:

The Company believes that the region, which hosts abundant historic workings, remains significantly underexplored, particularly in light of modern technological advancements in mineral exploration and the increased understanding of porphyry mineral systems. As such the Company will also assess other opportunities to add value for shareholders through acquisition by staking or entering into agreements over other prospects in the area.

4.7 Dividend policy

It is anticipated that significant expenditure will be incurred in the evaluation and development of the Company’s proposed business model and objectives described in Section 3.7 above. These activities are expected to dominate at least the 2 year period following the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to declare any dividends during that period.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

  • drilling of over 10,000 metres at the Cactus, Accrington, Horn and Cactus Canyon prospects; and

  • the completion of an induced polarisation survey across the Accrington, Cactus and Cactus Canyon prospects

It is hoped that the work program will enable the Company to establish initial resources across one or more prospects and/or uncover new mineral discoveries.

6. RISK FACTORS

==> picture [388 x 163] intentionally omitted <==

6.1 Introduction

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

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

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

In addition, there is no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Shares on the ASX at any particular time, which will adversely affect the liquidity of Shares on ASX.

(c) Limited exploration

Although there have been various phases of exploration across the Tenements that comprise the Frisco Project, the prospects on which the Company are focussing are in the early stages of exploration and do not contain any resources that are consistent with the current JORC guidelines. Further exploration and evaluation of data is required to determine whether any historical mineralisation estimates within the Tenements may be upgraded to be consistent with the current JORC guidelines. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to establish a resource or reserve in accordance with the JORC code.

(d) Exploration and evaluation risks

6.2 Company specific

The key Company specific risks set out below are also summarised in Section 2.3 of this Prospectus.

(a) Offer risk

If ASX does not admit the Shares to Official Quotation before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by ASIC, the Company will not allot or issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

(b) Liquidity risk

As set out in Section 3.11, certain securities are likely to be classified as restricted securities. To the extent that Shares are classified as restricted securities, the liquidity of the market for Shares may be adversely affected.

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

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

36 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

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

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

(e) Ability to exploit successful discoveries

It may not always be possible for the Company to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploration would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and/ or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploration may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company’s.

(f) Development risks and costs

Possible future development of mining operations at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a number of factors and avoiding various risks including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/ or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, excessive seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns,

risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

In addition, the construction of any proposed development may exceed the expected timeframe or cost for a variety of reasons out of the Company’s control. Any delays to project development could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial results and may require the Company to raise further funds to complete the project development and commence operations.

(g) Operating risks

The Company may be subject to the risks involved in the establishment of a new mining operation if the Company decides to develop its mineral assets. There is no assurance that can be given to the level of viability that the Company’s operations may achieve. Lower than expected productivity and technical difficulties and late delivery of materials and equipment could have an adverse impact on any future construction and commissioning schedules. No assurance can be given that the intended production schedules will be met or that the estimated operating cash costs and development costs will be accurate.

Further, the operations of the Company, if production commences, may have to be shut down or may otherwise be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, weather conditions, fire, explosions and other accidents at the mine, processing plant or related facilities beyond the control of the Company. The occurrence of any of the risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, amongst other things, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently maintains insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all, or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims).

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 37

(h) Environmental risk

The Company is subject to Federal, State, and local laws and regulations to minimise the environmental impact of any operations, penalize unpermitted environmental degradation, and require remediation of areas affected by current or former mineral exploration or extraction activities. Compliance with these laws can be costly, and the laws are subject to change, which could further adversely affect the Company. No assurance can be given that current or future requirements under environmental laws will not result in the cessation of exploration or production activities, the curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development or exploration activities or otherwise adversely affect Alderan’s financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Penalties for failure to adhere to the laws or in the event of environmental damage the penalties and remediation costs can be substantive. Additionally, liability could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs, and/or penalties in the event of unpermitted discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by the Company or by previous owners of the Tenements, or other noncompliance with environmental laws.

The Company may require approval from relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that may impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals may prevent the Company from achieving its business objectives. The Company intends to conduct itself, and manage any joint venturers so that their activities are carried out in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. Despite this, the Company may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and create adverse financial implications.

(i) Resource estimations

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes

available. Should the company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(j) Title risks

Mineral rights in the USA may be owned by private parties, local government, state government, federal government, or indigenous groups. The acquisition of privately owned mineral rights typically involves a preliminary review of the public records in the counties in which the relevant lands lie in order to determine the ownership of the mineral rights. Thereafter mineral leases are negotiated with the owners of those rights. Verifying the chain of title for USA mineral rights, particularly where private ownership of most of the Tenements has persisted for more than a century, can be complex and may require that remedial steps be taken to correct any defect in title. Furthermore, securing exploration and extraction rights of federally-owned mineral rights requires strict adherence to claim staking and maintenance requirements. The Company has taken reasonable steps to verify the title to the Tenements in which it has, or has a right to acquire, an interest. Although these steps are in line with market practice for exploration projects such as the Frisco Project, they do not guarantee title to the Tenements nor guarantee that the Tenements are free of any third party rights or claims. Existence of latent ownership claims to the Tenements or third party rights such as royalty or net profits interests could adversly affect the Company’s operations and the profitibility of future extraction activities. Further information is set out in the Title Report in Section 9 of this Prospectus.

(k) Licences and permits

The Company’s mining exploration activities are dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits, mining claims, and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintaining of tenements, obtaining renewals, or getting tenements granted, may depend on the Company being successful in obtaining the required regulatory approvals for its proposed activities

38 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

and that the licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents it holds will be renewed as and when required. There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith.

(l) Government regulation

The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters. Although the exploration and development activities of the Company are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

(m) Government adverse legislation

Alderan has no control over the actions of State or Federal governments and the legislation they pass. Legislation may be passed that has an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to operate in all or part of its business or on the ability of the Company to continue to own its tenements or other assets, including legislation that may result in tenements being revoked and the Company being unable to recover the value of the tenements, including the expected profits from the exploitation of the tenements, or the costs expended by the Company in exploring and mining those tenements.

(n) Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other

key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

(o) Joint venture parties, agents and contractors

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

(p) Contractual risk

The Company is a party to various contracts, including but not limited to those summarised in Section 11. Whilst the Company will have various contractual rights in the event of non-compliance by a contracting party, no assurance can be given that all contracts to which the Company is a party will be fully performed by all contracting parties. Additionally, no assurance can be given that if a contracting party does not comply with any contractual provision, the Company will be successful in enforcing compliance. There are also counterparty bankruptcy, creditor, termination and operational risks.

(q) Unpatented Mining Claims

A portion of the Tenements are comprised of unpatented mining claims, which provide for access to and extraction of mineral rights owned by the USA and administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Rights under unpatented mining claims are restricted to the extraction and development of a mineral deposit, and no land ownership is conveyed. The rights granted by such mining claims are valid against a challenge by the USA or another claimant only after the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit within the claim. While Company will use its reasonable efforts to secure discoveries on each claim, there can be no guarantee that the Company will discover a valuable mineral deposit that can defeat a challenge to the unpatented mining claims by the USA or another claimant.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 39

(r) Overlapping Tenements or Joint Ownership

Some of the Company’s Tenements are subject to overlapping interests held by third parties. Additionally, certain Tenements are owned in common with third parties. Accordingly, it may be necessary for the Company to negotiate suitable agreements covering overlapping interests or third party ownership. No guarantee can be given that such agreements can be reached on terms suitable to the Company.

(s) Future capital requirements

The Company’s activities will require substantial expenditure. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Placement will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund development after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Placement there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may 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.

(t) Potential acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

(u) Insurance and uninsured risks

The Company, where economically feasible, may insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, even if insurance is taken out, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered, or fully covered, by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the costs can be prohibitive.

(v) Fluctuations in base and precious metal prices

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

In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required

40 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.

(w) Exchange rate risks

The Company operates in multiple currencies and exchanges rates are constantly fluctuating. International prices of various commodities well as the exploration expenditure of the Company are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the Company will rely principally on funds raised and accounted for 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.

6.3 General risks

(a) Economic

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

(b) Management of risk

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

(c) Competition risk

(x) Inherent mining risks

The Company’s business operations are subject to risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry. The exploration for and the development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, including: environmental hazards; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; structure cave-in or slides; flooding; fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Whether income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development.

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

(d) Market risk

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’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) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) commodity price fluctuations;

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

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

  • (vii) terrorism and other hostilities.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 41

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. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(e) Investment speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Dear Sirs,

Please find attached the Goldner and Associates’ (“GA”) Independent Geologist’s Report (“IGR”) on the Frisco exploration project of Alderan Resources Limited (“Alderan” or “the Company”) in southern Utah in the United States of America (“USA”).

GA’s report comprises an Introduction, Executive Summary and Risk Summary, followed by a more detailed review of Frisco Project. This includes a description of the geology and mineralisation, exploration history and results of prior exploration as well as the results of exploration to date by Alderan. Alderan’s planned exploration programs and budgets are also reviewed.

The IGR is primarily based on information provided by Alderan: GA’s assessment of the various prospects is based on technical reviews of project data and a site visit to the project area in November 2016. Discussions were held with Alderan’s technical and managerial staff concerning the Company’s exploration concepts, interpretations of historical exploration results, proposed programs and budgets, and overall business strategy.

This GA report has been prepared solely for inclusion in the Alderan’s prospectus dated on or about 5 April 2017 and should not be used or relied upon for any other purpose. Alderan plans to raise A$8.5 million by the issue of 42,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an offer price of A$0.20 per share (with a minimum subscription of A$6.5 million). Neither the whole nor any part of this report nor any reference thereto may be included in or with or attached to any document or used for any other purpose, without GA’s written consent to the form and context in which it appears.

GA specialises in technical due diligence and review work on exploration and mining projects. GA has been involved in numerous such studies and has prepared many IGRs for inclusion in prospectuses.

We trust that the report adequately and appropriately describes all relevant geological aspects of the Frisco project and addresses issues of significance.

Yours faithfully,

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Alderan Resources Limited’s ACN 55 165 079 201 (“Alderan” or “the Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Volantis Resources Corp (“Volantis”), sole project is the Frisco Project in southern Utah USA. The project tenure consists of a combination of patented mineral claims held by USA company, Horn Silver Mines Inc (“HSM”), with which Alderan has negotiated two lease and option agreements, as well as unpatented claims taken out by Volantis. There are a number of small internal areas on which modifications to the arrangements with HSM, still provide Alderan with access for exploration. Details of the arrangements pertaining to the Frisco Project are provided in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Frisco Project area contains historical mine workings and numerous exploration excavations from past exploration activities. Copper (“Cu”), lead (“Pb”), zinc (“Zn”), silver (“Ag”) and gold (“Au”) have been variously produced from the historical mines with the most, but not all, production being derived from the Horn Silver Mine (predominantly lead, silver and zinc) and the Cactus Mine (predominantly copper, silver, gold).

Over the years’ numerous groups have undertaken exploration within portions of the current Frisco Project area and Alderan has successfully obtained copies of many of the historical exploration reports which have been made available to GA. Alderan is the first company to negotiate agreements and secure claims which together provide contiguous mineral rights to virtually the entire mineral system underlying the Frisco Project.

Alderan proposes to raise A$8.5 million (with a minimum raising of A$6.5 million) through an Initial Public Offering on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”); these funds will be applied to the exploration of the Frisco Project area. Initially most work will be concentrated on historical mine areas which are considered to have the good potential for extensions to the known deposits at depth and along strike of the historical the mine workings.

GA has not conducted an in depth due diligence review of the status of the various tenements or such matters as environmental, native title or landowner issues that may affect Alderan’s tenement interests. GA has however summarised the tenement details from information provided by Alderan and detailed information is available in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The exploration targets discussed in this report, in GA’s opinion, are fairly represented by the information provided by Alderan which includes extensive supporting data generated by the historical explorers.

This GA report is primarily based on information provided by Alderan and its Chief Geologist Mr Peter Geerdts and Director Mr Don Smith both of whom are competent persons as defined by the JORC Code. Mr Peter Goldner, the author of this GA report, is also a competent person as defined by the JORC Code.

GA’s assessment of the prospects, as well as the proposed exploration program and budget, is based on technical reviews of project data, a project site visits and discussions with Alderan’s technical management and directors. Any forecasts and projections cannot be assured and factors both within and beyond the control of Alderan could cause the actual outcomes to be materially different from GA’s assessments contained in this report.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 47

2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Alderan’s Frisco Project is located within the San Francisco Mining District, Beaver County in southwestern Utah some 22.5km west of the small town of Milford. Milford lies some 335km (208 miles) south of Utah’s capital Salt Lake City (Figure 1).

The project consists of a contiguous area of patented and unpatented mineral claims. The patented claims are held by HSM with whom Alderan has negotiated a lease and option arrangement and unpatented claims held by Alderan’s wholly owned subsidiary Volantis. There is also a surrounding area of interest and the details of the terms of agreement between Alderan and HSM are detailed in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The arrangement with HSM, provides Alderan with access, mining and mineral rights to the Frisco Project tenements by payment of an annual royalty payment. Advanced annual royalties are paid on commencement of the agreements and Alderan also has the option to purchase HSM’s interest. There are a number of small internal areas within the Frisco Project tenements in which third parties have an interest.

The Frisco Project is underlain by metamorphosed carbonate-dominant sequences (with some other interbedded sediments), intruded by monzonitic to granodioritic rocks belonging to the Cactus Stock which has a roughly eastwest oriented contact with the carbonate-dominant formations to the south. The carbonate-dominant units have been altered by contact metamorphism and associated metasomatism, to skarn, hornfels and marble.

Younger extrusive volcanics (lavas etc.) occur in the eastern portion of the Frisco Project and, in the Horn Silver Mine area, are in obvious faulted contact with metamorphosed carbonates. Extensive alluvial cover is present west of the meta-carbonates and the granitoids.

The known mineralisation within the Frisco Project exhibits both a distinct metal zonation (from south to north) and four differing mineralisation styles have been recognised and used by Alderan to define initial prospects for followup investigation. These prospects are from north to south:

  • The Cactus Prospect (or Cactus Breccia Pipes Prospect) , in the northern portion of the project, consists of breccia pipes within the Cactus Stock, hosting copper + gold + silver mineralisation.

  • The Cactus Canyon Prospect , which encompasses the Cactus Prospect, consist of potential porphyrystyle copper + molybdenum + gold mineralisation hosted within the Cactus Stock intrusive units.

  • The Accrington Prospect , further south, consists of metamorphosed and metasomatically altered carbonate units (skarns and hornfelsed sediments) hosting zinc, silver, copper + gold mineralisation.

  • The Horn Silver Mine Prospect (or Horn Prospect) , in the south of the project, centred on the historical Horn Silver Mine and consisting of limestone and breccia-hosted high grade lead, silver, zinc + copper and gold mineralisation associated with the Horn Silver Fault Zone.

Base metal mineral deposits (lead, zinc, silver and copper) were first discovered in the district in 1870 and leadsilver production commenced at the Horn Silver, Rattler and Carbonate Mines in 1875. After 1900 copper became a sought-after commodity and the Cactus and other mines were developed but closed in about 1914 and by 1920 most mines had ceased operation.

The average recovered metal grades for the district being 8.02% Pb, 0.93% Zn, 0.87% Cu, 101oz/t Ag, 0.62g/t Au.

Reported, but probably incomplete production was:

Ore: 2.29 million tonnes (2.53 million short tons) Gold: 44,920 ozs Silver: 19.642 million ozs Copper: 20,022 tonnes (44.142 million pounds) Lead: 183,925 tonnes (405.484 million pounds) Zinc: 21,217 tonnes (46.776 million pounds)

Alderan’s exploration strategy (already commenced) is to interpret and evaluate available data from historical exploration undertaken by a variety of previous explorers, combined with geophysics and field work (mapping, sampling, etc.) to validate its initial exploration focus within the Frisco Project. Specific near-term objectives and targets include:

  • Detailed evaluation of the Cactus Breccia Pipes Prospect, including drill testing of the mineralised breccia pipes. Three of these pipes (Comet, Cactus and New Year) were the site previous historical mining. In GA’s opinion, depending on future exploration success, this prospect contains targets for the development of deposits that could be amenable to open pit and/or underground extraction.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

  • The Company intends to investigate the potential for porphyry copper (+ gold + molybdenum) deposits in the Cactus Canyon region of the project. There is visual evidence of disseminated sulphides (including pyrite, chalcopyrite and occasional molybdenite) within altered intrusive phases of the Cactus Stock in historical holes drilled by Amax Exploration Inc (“Amax”). However, although the alteration is typical of that found in porphyry copper systems, in GA’s experience it is of weaker intensity than what would be expected in the immediate vicinity of significant mineralisation. As such Cactus Canyon represents a longer-term target than the other three prospects.

  • Evaluation of the large Accrington Prospect skarn and hornfels sequence characterised by numerous historical exploration pits and some more substantial mine workings. The areas in and around the Washington and Imperial Mines are likely to represent priority targets for drill testing by Alderan. Outcrop sampling and a recent grid geochemical survey confirms that the skarn units contains anomalous base and precious metal values over a large area and, as such, represent a target for the development of a deposit that might be amenable to extraction by open pit mining.

  • Detailed evaluation of the area around the historical Horn Silver Mine where there is potential to develop zinc-lead-silver resources by drill testing the area in and around the historical mine workings and by investigating the potential down dip/down plunge and along strike extensions. In GA’s opinion, the remnant, high-grade zinc mineralisation within the current workings is also of potential interest but probably only in conjunction with additional depth and/or lateral extensions to the known deposit.

Alderan has developed a two-year program and budget to evaluate the Frisco Project area for the A$8.5 million capital raising as well as for the A$6.5 million minimum raising (Table 2.1). The Company plans to undertake a considerable amount of drill testing of the major targets within the Cactus Breccia Pipes and Accrington Prospect areas as these have the potential to develop near-term higher-grade polymetallic resources and additional details of the work planned is presented in Section 8.

3.0 RISK SUMMARY

3.1 Project Risks

When compared with many industrial and commercial operations, mining is a relatively high risk business and projects that are still in the exploration phase are even higher risk. Even once a discovery is made the nature of the mineralisation, the grade distribution within the deposit outlined, and the behaviour of the ore during mining and processing, is never completely predictable.

The difficulty in discovering economically viable mineral deposits is increasingly reliant on the combination of an in-depth understanding of factors controlling the development of mineral deposits within any specific geological environment, as well as the application of optimum exploration techniques applicable to the style of deposit being sought.

The Frisco Project has been subjected to considerable historical exploration by a variety of previous explorers as well as historical, relatively small-scale, mining and production at a number of locations within the project area. A number of base metal and silver-dominant deposits are present and some of these have been partially mined with the ore extracted and either processed on site or, in some cases, base metal concentrates were shipped off site.

At this stage none of the known base metal/silver + gold occurrences have resource estimates in accordance with the JORC code. Drill intersections by a variety of previous explorers, available to Alderan, do indicate the presence of noteworthy mineralisation at a number of locations but will require substantial additional work before resources can be estimated.

Alderan is utilising the considerable prior exploration data they have been able to accumulate to guide its own exploration. This historical exploration data has been compiled into a new Frisco Project database and has been augmented by geological mapping and rock chip sampling by Alderan. The Company also commissioned an airborne geophysical survey over the Frisco project area.

The presence of mineralisation and/or anomalism within the Frisco Project is established and the general geological framework and styles of mineralisation present has been refined by Alderan thus allowing the optimum design of exploration and evaluation programs. This will require considerable additional exploration funding and is the objective of Alderan’s planned capital rising by listing the Company on the ASX.

In reviewing the Frisco Project GA has considered areas of perceived technical or operational risk, particularly where the risk component could materially impact on the exploration programs or potential future developments. The assessment shown below is necessarily subjective and qualitative.

In Section 3.2 GA has considered factors which may ameliorate some of these risks.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 51

Risk Component Comments
Tenements and Land Access Patented Mineral Claims
Low Risk Alderan’s wholly owned subsidiary Volantis, has a leasehold and
option interest in 231 patented mining claims held by HSM. Patented
claims include ownership of the subsurface and consequently Alderan
has no issues with respect to access for exploration or any potential
future development activities.
Unpatented Mineral Claims
The 178 unpatented claims are held by Alderan’s 100% subsidiary and
consequently there are no access issues. Alderan do need to pay annual
fees to keep these claims valid.
There are a number of small internal areas within the Frisco Project in
which other parties have an interest. This includes two areas in which
a third party has the right to mine outcropping marble (Alderan still
has the base and precious metal rights in these areas) and claims over
the historical Imperial Mine in which a third party retains an interest.
Accuracy of Historical Exploration
Alderan has accumulated historical data derived from work undertaken
Data by a variety of previous explorers. This includes a considerable
Low to Medium Risk amount of drilling generally focused on, or in the vicinity of, some of
the historical mine workings. Regional mapping, geochemical
sampling and geophysical surveys, have also been completed by
various prior explorers and acquired by Alderan. This data is
extremely valuable in prioritising targets and guiding its future
exploration.
There is limited information available in the historical reports in
respect to what, if any, quality assurance and quality control
procedures were implemented, particularly in sampling and assaying.
Accurate collar locations are only available for some of the holes
drilled although in most cases a general location for the drilling can be
determined. A few historical drill collars can be identified in the field.
Down hole survey data of historical inclined holes is not available and
was probably not undertaken.
It is evident that the historical drilling results are useful in targeting
future exploration however the limited accurate collar locations, the
inadequate QA/QC procedures and the lack of down hole surveys
precludes the use of these results for any future resource estimates
undertaken by Alderan.
Resources Although some previous groups have undertaken resource estimates,
NA these are not to JORC standards and therefore cannot be reported by
Alderan.
Infrastructure The Frisco Project is ideally located in respect to existing
Low Risk infrastructure; there is sealed road access to the project site,
accommodation and supplies are readily available at the nearby town
of Milford, a large wind farm is present near Milford. A commercial
rail line links Milford to Salt Lake City and other major cities in the
USA.
Environment The presence of extensive previous mining activity and the resulting
Low/Moderate Risk disturbance from that activity appears to have been accepted by the
Utah State authorities. However almost all underground mine
workings have been sealed off and any future access Alderan will
require approval from the relevant authorities.

The Unpatented Claims come under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Alderan may require additional approvals and its activities will be subject to additional oversite and monitoring by the BLM.

52 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

Water Availability There appears to be adequate water available in the nearby district for Low/Moderate exploration, including drilling. If an economically viable deposit is delineated, it will be necessary to locate adequate water sources for processing. Endangered Species There are at least two endangered species (the Utah Prairie Dog and Low the Western Sage Grouse) recorded from the region around the Frisco Project. A habitat recovery area for each of these species extends to an area immediately north of the project area and consequently would only become a potential issue for Alderan if the project area was to be extended in the future.

3.2 Risk Mitigation Factors

There are a number of factors which combine to reduce some of the risks attached to Alderan’s Frisco Project:

  • The USA state of Utah has a long history of successful mineral exploration and mine development and is recognised as a ‘mine-friendly’ jurisdiction. The USA is a politically stable country with a long history of mineral exploration and mining and one of the world’s major copper mines, Bingham Canyon, located near the Utah’s capital Salt Lake City, has been operating successfully for decades.

  • The Frisco Project area is well located with respect to infrastructure, such as towns, transport, sealed road access etc.

  • The lessor of the patented claims, HSM, also holds the sub-surface rights and consequently there are no access issue for exploration.

  • The overall regulatory requirements that will apply to exploration do not appear much different to what would be expected in Australia and Alderan should be able to meet the requirements.

  • Alderan’s technical personnel are experienced mineral industry professionals and have extensive experience in the exploration for the deposit styles most likely to be discovered.

  • Alderan’s proposed budget is adequate to meet the Company’s financial obligations to HSM and to undertake the planned exploration.

4.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY AND GA REPORT CONVENTIONS

The appropriate professional standards for the preparation of independent expert reports are encompassed in the provisions of the JORC Code[1 ] and the VALMIN Code[2] of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (“AIG”). As far as practical the both the VALMIN and JORC codes have been observed in the preparation of this report[3] .

GA undertook a site visit to the Frisco Project area during November 2016. The project details and Alderan’s plans with respect to ongoing exploration were discussed with Alderan’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Christopher Wanless, and with Messrs Peter Geerdts (Chief Geologist) and Don Smith (Director) and the principal technical personnel involved in exploration of the Frisco project. Mr Geerdts and Mr Smith accompanied GA on the Frisco Project site visit. GA also inspected core from previous drilling by Amax within the Cactus Breccia Pipes and Cactus Canyon Prospect areas.

Alderan has provided GA with assurances that all relevant and material information such as technical reports, maps and data concerning its own and available previous exploration activities have been provided to GA.

All prospects within the Frisco Project are at the exploration stage and no resources in accordance with the JORC code have been estimated. Unless otherwise indicated all drill hole intercepts in this report are reported as downhole widths and depths rather than true widths.

As the Frisco Project is in the USA all historical information has been reported using Imperial measurements. Distances are expressed in miles (“mls”), length in feet (‘ft”), mass in short tons (“tons”) and base metal grades in percent. Precious metal grades are expressed as troy ounces (“ozs’) per short ton. Metal production figures, depending on the metal are reported in terms of tons or pounds (“lbs”) or in the case of silver and gold as ozs.

For the purposes of this report, intercepts, grades and contained metal, reported in historical reports by previous explorers, have been converted into the equivalent Metric units using the conversion factors detailed in the attached appendix with the original Imperial measurements shown in brackets. The only exception to this is when referring to levels in historical underground mine workings where the original Imperial level nomenclature has been retained - e.g. 100ft level (occasionally reported in historical reports as 100 level).

All financial figures quoted in this report refer to Australian Dollars (“A$”).

The project descriptions and details of the prior exploration data, have been obtained from a variety of data sources, including technical reports by previous explorers, provided to GA by Alderan. A list of the principal references utilised by GA in the preparation of this report is included as Section 9.

A glossary of technical terms, abbreviations, units of measure and conversion factors is provided as an appendix to this report.

2 Code for the Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral and Petroleum Assets and Securities for Independent Expert Reports – The VALMIN Code; 2015 Edition.

3 For the purposes of the VALMIN Code, the present report is a Technical Report, which deals with the Technical Assessment of Mineral Assets and does not address matters such as a Valuation Report, Vendor Consideration, Opinion on Securities or the fairness and reasonableness of a transaction relating to a Mineral Asset.

5.0 DATA QUALITY

5.1 Historical Exploration Data

The historical exploration over the current Frisco Project area has been undertaken by numerous groups and companies between the 1940s and mid 2000s. Inspection of the available reports covering the historical exploration provides no information as to whether any quality control and quality assurance (“QA/QC”) procedures were followed. In addition, there is limited or no information in respect to such items as; sample type, sample size, where or how the samples were prepared for analysis, what analytical methods were utilised to determine the various elements, what if any standards, replicates and blanks were inserted into the sample batches, etc. In respect to drill holes, the locations have often been marked onto topographical contour maps, probably by hand (as opposed to being accurately surveyed), and it does not appear that any of the inclined holes were down-hole surveyed.

The only exception to this is the four-hole drilling program undertaken at the Horn Silver Mine Prospect by Franconia Minerals Corporation (“Franconia”) in 2002. A consultant’s report prepared by Caracle Creek International Consulting in April 2004, in the form of a NI43-101 report (the Canadian equivalent of an Australian JORC report), indicates that Franconia sampling and assaying regime included some check analyses of samples to check the original assay results. Franconia did not undertake down-hole surveying.

In the preparation of this report GA has not undertaken a detailed audit of the geological database now held by Alderan for completeness or accuracy. In GA’s opinion, the historical exploration information accumulated by Alderan is a very useful asset to guide and prioritise the company’s future exploration. Because of the lack of down hole surveys, the historical drill hole data will almost certainly not be suitable for inclusion into a data base for future estimation of resources to JORC standards.

In the case of the Horn Silver Mine and the Cactus Mine, some of the more recent explorers were able to access the underground workings and complete detailed composite chip sampling of various drives. In the event that Alderan can also access the underground workings and accurately locate the prior sampling positions, this information may prove useful in any future resource estimates, provided Alderan can satisfy its self that adequate sample QA/QC had been undertaken.

GA Comment

An omission in the Franconia QA/QC procedures was that no blanks or standard reference samples were inserted into the sample stream. This would be a normal and expected procedure for this type of program. More significantly no down hole surveying was completed and consequently the actual track of the drill holes remains uncertain. These drill holes therefore would not be suitable for inclusion in a database for any future resource estimation.

5.2 Alderan Exploration Data

Alderan has commenced regional exploration within the Frisco Project with its pre-IPO work consisting of a project scale airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, 3D modelling of magnetic data, mapping (including lithological, structural and alteration mapping), core-logging, a geochemical survey and grab rock chip sampling. In addition, Alderan has digitised and incorporated the large amount of acquired historical data into a digital database and utilised this information in developing geological and mineralisation models.

The samples collected by Alderan have been analysed at ALS Minerals Laboratory (“ALS”) in Reno Nevada using the appropriate assaying methods analysing for 49 elements, including copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, and the analytical methods utilised are summarised in Table 5.1 below. Alderan did not insert any duplicates, commercial standards or blanks into the samples sent to ALS however ALS routinely inserted its own standards and blanks into the sample stream to check accuracy.

In the case of the Accrington Prospect, the grid rock chip sampling program completed in November/December 2016 by Alderan did include the insertion of sample duplicates on a 1 in 20 basis as an additional quality control procedure and again ALS undertook its own QA/QC as described above.

Going forward, Alderan has supplied GA with its intended minimum standard QA/QC procedures to be routinely undertaken and these are summarised in Table 5.1 below.

Alderan is aware that, once listed on the ASX, for all public disclosures of exploration results (as well as for any future resource estimates), it will be mandatory for the company to meet the requirements of the 2012 JORC Code. This require the completion of what is known as ‘Table 1’ which includes extensive details of the QA/QC procedures undertaken.

GA Comment

In GA’s opinion Alderan’s limited QA/QC undertaken for the initial Accrington grid chip sampling program is adequate at this early stage of exploration.

Alderan’s far more detailed and rigid minimum QA/QC procedures intended for on-going exploration are appropriate.

  • 6.0 ALDERAN’S CORPORATE STRUCTURE, BUSINESS, EXPLORATION STRATEGY AND AGREEMENTS

6.1 Corporate Structure

The agreements covering the Frisco Project are between Volantis, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alderan, and HSM. HSM are the owners of the Patented Claims and Volantis are the owners of the Unpatented Claims, both of which constitute the Frisco Project.

Alderan Terminologies for Various Sections of the Frisco Project

For descriptive and reference purposes Alderan has subdivided the Frisco Project into four broad prospect areas, as shown on Figure 2, based on the interpreted geology and styles of mineralisation; these prospect names are also adopted in this GA report.

These prospect areas are, in general terms, from north to south are as follows:

  • The Cactus (or Cactus Breccia Pipes) Prospect.

  • Cactus Canyon Prospect.

  • The Accrington Prospect.

  • The Horn Silver Mine Prospect.

6.2 Business and Exploration Strategy

The Frisco Project, located, near the town of Milford in southern Utah USA is the only exploration project held by Alderan. Alderan is the first company to consolidate the entire Frisco Mining District into a single project through a combination of a leasehold and option agreements with HSM (holder of a large area of contiguous patented mining claims) plus additional unpatented mining claims pegged by Alderan (see Section 6.3). Previous explorers within the district had only negotiated rights on selected portions of the area covered by the patented claims and Alderan’s consolidation of the entire area will enable the Company to logically prioritise targets and undertake an integrated exploration program.

Alderan’s preferred exploration models for the Frisco Project are those associated with porphyry copper deposits and there is evidence within the Frisco Project tenements that a variety of mineralisation styles are present including structurally controlled, high grade zinc-lead-silver deposits, skarn hosted polymetallic deposits, copper-gold-silver deposits hosted within breccia pipes as well as the potential for disseminated porphyry copper-style deposits at depth.

The Company’s exploration strategy (which has already been implemented) is to interpret and evaluate available data from historical exploration undertaken by a variety of previous explorers to guide its initial exploration focus. Specific near-term objectives and targets include:

  • Detailed evaluation of the Cactus Breccia Pipes Prospect, including drill testing of the mineralised breccia pipes which were the site of previous historical mining (Comet, Cactus and New Year). This area has the potential to develop near term copper- silver + gold resources with additional drilling.

  • Evaluate the large Accrington Prospect skarn and hornfels sequence which is characterised by numerous historical exploration pits and some more substantial mine workings. The areas in and around the Washington and Imperial Mines are likely to represent priority targets for drill testing by Alderan. Outcrop sampling and a recent grid geochemical survey confirms that the skarn unit contains anomalous base (lead – zinc- copper and precious metal (silver + gold) values over a large area.

  • The Company intends to also investigate the potential for porphyry copper (+ gold + molybdenum) deposits in the Cactus Canyon region of the project. There is some indication from historical drilling in the Cactus Breccia Pipes target area that porphyry style mineralisation (copper + molybdenum + gold) is present adjacent and below the breccia pipes and consequently the breccia pipes and porphyry copper target are related.

  • Evaluation of the historical Horn Silver Mine where there is potential to develop zinc - lead - silver resources by drill testing the area in and around the historical mine workings and by investigating the potential down dip/down plunge and along strike extensions.

6.3 Project Tenure and Agreements

General Explanation of Mining Tenure Applicable to the Frisco Project

GA is not an expert in USA exploration and mining legislation and the information below is of a general nature only. The reader should refer to the more detailed and definitive explanation of the types of tenements comprising the Frisco Project (i.e. Patented Claims and Unpatented Claims) included in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements elsewhere in this prospectus

As far as approvals to undertake exploration is concerned, a state permit from the State of Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (“DOGM”), is required regardless of land status (i.e. patented and unpatented lands) which includes drilling, road building and shaft sinking and other land disturbances. The Utah Land Reclamation Act (“Reclamation Act”) enables the DOGM to require:

  • A notice of intention for all mining operations to be filed and approved (GA assumes that in this context ‘mining’ includes exploration).

  • The operator to furnish and maintain a reasonable surety to guarantee that the effected land is reclaimed.

  • The operator to rehabilitate, close or mitigate the impacts of each drill hole.

  • The mining operations are conducted to minimise or prevent hazards to public health and safety.

The Reclamation Act specifically requires a notice of intention concerning exploration operations and provides that the DOGM approves or disapproves the intended work within 30 days of the receipt of the notice.

A Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) approved notice of intention to conduct exploration is required to undertake exploration on unpatented claims. Patented claims are exempt from the BLM approval requirement. Additional regulations imposed by the BLM include (but are probably not limited to):

  • Submission of a notice for some mining operation and a plan of operations for others.

  • A notice is required for exploration causing surface disturbance of 2.02ha (5 acres) or less.

  • For disturbances of more than 2.02ha (5 acres) or bulk sampling of 907.2 tonnes (1,000 short tons) or more, a plan of operations is required.

  • The operator must also secure a financial guarantee before starting operations.

There are other potential regulations with which Alderan may need to comply, depending on the stage of exploration or development, covering areas such as safety, air quality, water quality and endangered species.

Alderan has already held discussion with both the DOGM and BLM in respect to obtaining the required approvals; GA is not aware of the outcome of these discussions. It is believed that financial bonds may need to be lodged in respect to future drill hole or site rehabilitation; GA is not aware of whether any bonds have been lodged by Alderan.

Tenement Details and Negotiated Arrangement between Alderan and HSM

The two types of mineral claims (patented claims and unpatented claims) are divided into three separate categories based on the leasing arrangements negotiated between Alderan and HSM.

The total area covered by the Frisco Project tenements is approximately 24.8 square kilometres (“sq. km.”) which is made up of 231 patented claims totalling 15.81 sq. km. held by HSM or associated entities and 178 unpatented claims held in the name of Volantis (Figure 3). There is some overlap between the two claim types and the 22.8sq.km. area accounts for this overlap. There is a larger area of interest surrounding the Frisco Project claim blocks in which any further claims pegged by HSM or Volantis, will be subject to the same arrangements with HSM.

Details of the project tenure and the arrangements between Alderan’s subsidiary Volantis and HSM are provided in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements elsewhere in this prospectus. It may be of assistance to the reader to refer to Figure 3 when reviewing the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements.

7.0 ALDERAN’S FRISCO PROJECT

7.1 Location, Access and Local Infrastructure

The Frisco Project, located within the San Francisco Mining District, Beaver County in southwestern Utah is some 22.5km (14 miles) west of the small town of Milford. Milford, lies some 335km (208 miles) south of Utah’s capital Salt Lake City and is located on the intersection of two major highways, Utah 257 and Utah 21. Interstate highway I-15, located about 48.3km (30 miles) southeast of Milford, can be accessed by Utah 21 via the town of Beaver (see Figure 1).

A network of unsealed tracks provide access to the major historical mine workings (Horn Silver Mine, Cactus etc.) and to many other parts of the project area.

The town of Milford is at an elevation of 1,511 metres (“m”) above sea level, and San Francisco Mountain, the highest peak within the project area, is 2,944m (9,660 feet) above sea level. Hill slopes within the project area are steep and often covered by shingle talus.

Milford is accessible by rail and has a small airfield and accommodation and other services (such as supermarkets etc.) are available. The larger nearby towns of Beaver and Cedar City, within 80km of Milford, provide a larger range of services and facilities.

A 306MW capacity wind farm. is located 30km west northwest of the Frisco project.

The local climate is arid with about 23cm (9 inches) of precipitation and 91cm (36 inches) of snow a year. Surface exploration can be undertaken 9-10 months of the year, depending on the amount of snow cover, while drilling and geophysical surveys usually can be carried out year-round.

7.2 Exploration, Mining and Production History

Early History (1870 to 1920)

Base metal mineral deposits (lead, silver and copper) were first discovered in the district in 1870 and lead-silver production commenced at the Horn Silver, Rattler and Carbonate Mines in 1875. After 1900 copper became a sought-after commodity and the Cactus and other mines were developed but closed in about 1914; by 1920 most mines had ceased operation.

The district production was characterised by relatively high-grade silver ore. The average recovered metal grades for the district being 8.02% Pb, 0.93% Zn, 0.87% Cu, 101oz/t Ag, 0.62g/t Au. The historical production was focused on copper, silver and lead; zinc was generally not targeted and consequently the zinc grade above is likely to be understated.

Historical Production

Reported district production figures between 1870 to 1965, extracted from Wray (2003) are:

Ore: 2.29 million tonnes (2.53 million short tons) Gold: 44,920 ozs Silver: 19.642 million ozs Copper: 20,022 tonnes (44.142 million pounds) Lead: 183,925 tonnes (405.484 million pounds) Zinc: 21,217 tonnes (46.776 million pounds)

The Horn Silver Mine and Cactus Mine accounted for most of historical production. Summary production figures for the individual larger mines in the area are provided in Table 7.1 below and have been derived from Wray (2003) as this report is the most comprehensive compilation of historical information for the project area.

GA Comment

In GA’s opinion, while the figures above are probably understated as production records are incomplete, they nevertheless provide a reasonable indication of the size of the larger historical mines within the Frisco Project.

Recent History (from the 1940’s)

Exploration within the San Francisco mining district has been undertaken by numerous companies (and some individuals) since about the mid 1940’s. Each of the groups had only negotiated agreements on portions of Alderan’s Frisco Project area and consequently prior exploration by earlier explorers has focussed only on the specific areas in which they were involved. This resulted in a variety of exploration approaches being implemented depending on the size of the company, its corporate objectives, the individual exploration budgets and the commodities of interest.

Most of the recent prior exploration focussed within and around the Horn Silver Mine and the Cactus group of mines (Comet, Cactus and New Year) with some limited reconnaissance exploration and drill testing of targets elsewhere in the Frisco Project area. Companies involved in prior exploration, include (but are probably not limited to) the following:

  • Metal Producers (1944-1956) rehabilitated the lower levels of the Horn Silver Mine and developed a crosscut from the 650-level to the King David Shaft. Some underground drilling was undertaken at the northern end of the deposit.

  • Anaconda Company (1959) negotiated an option to purchase the Cactus Mine and surrounding area held by Cupric Mines Company. Most work undertaken at the Cactus Mine and to a lesser degree at the neighbouring New Year Mine; seven deep diamond core holes drilled in and around the Cactus Mine.

  • Plata Verde Mining Company (1964-1965) acquired the Horn Silver Mine and undertook a surface drilling program of 40 rotary holes - 9m to 61m deep (30 to 200 feet) to evaluate the potential shallow zinc oxide mineralisation.

  • Bear Creek Mining Co (1968-74) completed drilling, costeaning and mapping on the Imperial claims.

  • Rosario Exploration Company (“Rosario”) (1966) completed drilling and costeaning on three specific claims in the Horn Silver Mines area as well as a ground magnetic survey.

Between 1968 and 1969 Rosario leased the Cactus Mine area from Tintic Lead Company completing mapping and sampling as well as 40 surface rotary holes at Comet, Cactus and New Year Mines. The Cactus haulage tunnel was rehabilitated and 11 holes from the 600-level drilled in the vicinity of the French No 1 shaft.

  • Amax (1971) leased the greater Cactus area undertaking reconnaissance geological mapping, drilled four deep holes and completed wide spaced rock chip sampling and an IP survey

  • Freeport Exploration Company (“Freeport”) (1982 - 1985) in joint venture with HSM, completed six drill holes of 61m (200 feet) length at the Washington and Double-Block Barrel tunnel area; sampled a gold and silver rich silica breccia zone at the Horn Silver Mine and reviewed resource potential of the Horn Silver Mine and surrounding area. Other work included; surface and underground rehabilitation, mapping, sampling, costeaning and 10 rotary and diamond drill holes, mainly east of the Horn Silver Fault; significant widths of zinc-lead-silver mineralisation were obtained on the 650 level; the 700 and 900 levels were largely inaccessible.

  • Bethlehem Resources Corp and Arapahoe Mining Corp (1989-1990) undertook regional exploration over the southern San Francisco Mountains consisting of mapping, rock chip sampling and electrical geophysical surveys - Induced Polarisation (“IP”) and Pulse Electro-Magnetics (“PEM”). Eight reverse circulation (“RC”) holes drilled to test geophysical anomalies near the Horn Silver Mine; two holes drilled to test for mineralisation associated with a strong IP anomaly near surface working in the Accrington skarn area; two holes drilled in the Block Incline area again intersecting mineralised skarn; one hole drilled at the Sunbeam Mine and two holes drilled to test strong IP anomalies south and west of the Horn Silver Mine. Further drilling in 1990 comprised of 14 drill holes of which 12 were targeted at a gold bearing breccia at the Horn Silver Mine.

  • Franconia Mineral Corporation (“Franconia”) in joint venture with Cominco/Teck (1999). Franconia held a lease with HSM over the Horn Silver Mine. Accessed the 650, 700, 800, 900, 1100 levels of the Horn Silver Mine; underground mapping and sampling undertaken confirming extensive zinc sulphide mineralisation remains in-situ. Manto-style sphalerite mineralisation identified on the 650 level.

In 2002 the joint venture undertook extensive exploration focussed on the Horn Silver Mine including digital compilation of underground geology maps and sampling results, surface mapping, opening and rehabilitating the King David shaft to access the 650-level; mapping of the 650-level; sampling of the 650, 900 and 1,000 levels; three diamond drill holes targeting manto-style mineralisation west of the Horn Silver Mine.

In 2006 four follow-up diamond drill holes (“DDH”) recommended in 2002 were completed to test the westerly down-dip extensions of mineralisation identified in 2002 with negative results.

  • Kennecott Exploration Company in joint venture with Breccia Development Inc. (1998-99). Drilling and rock chip sampling at Upper Cactus Canyon. Breccia Development Inc., held a lease agreement with HSM.

  • Western Utah Copper Corporation and CS Mining LLC (2000-2015). Drilling and rock chip sampling at upper Cactus Canyon and the Comet Mine. Western Utah and later CS Mining held a lease agreement with Horn Silver Mines Inc.

GA Comment

Unlike Australia, the USA mining legislation does not require companies to provide regular technical reports of exploration work undertaken. There is no open file system such as in each Australian State where previous exploration results are freely available via the state geological surveys, once a company has relinquished its interest in a project or property.

Alderan has successfully accumulated a surprisingly large (but not yet complete, due to on-going other work) database and technical reports from prior company exploration (detailed above) which is proving a valuable source of information to plan and guide its exploration. This includes Amax drill core stored at the State of Utah Department of Natural Resources in Salt Lake City. Alderan has re-logged and selectively re-sampled and assayed portions of this core.

7.3 Geological Setting and Mineralisation

7.3.1 Regional Geology of San Francisco Mining District

The San Francisco Mining District, in which the Frisco Project is situated, occurs at the southern end of the San Francisco Mountain Range in southwestern Utah near the eastern side of the Basin and Range Province. This province is characterised by roughly north-south oriented, alternating mountain ranges and basins formed by normal faulting during extensional tectonic deformation in the Eocene.

The range consists of Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks (limestone, dolomite, shale and quartzite) of Cambrian to Middle Silurian age, Tertiary quartz monzonite to granodiorite intrusives (such as the Cactus Stock). Tertiary volcanic flows and pyroclastic rocks border the range on the east and south. As shown on Figure 4, these sequences are all represented within the Frisco Project tenements.

The overall Palaeozoic sequences dip moderately (less than 10[o] to 30[o] ) to the west and lie within the Sevier Thrust Belt in which the Palaeozoic units are thrust over younger sequences. The range is bounded by north-south trending basin and range faults, the most important is the Horn Silver Fault located on the eastern side of the mining district. Other east-west structures such as the Reciprocity, Washington, Drum and Emporia fissure systems, are offset the dominant north-south structural trend indicating multiple episodes of structural reactivation within the area.

Mineralisation within the San Francisco Mining District is located within the regionally extensive Wah Wah Tushar belt, one of three recognised mineral belts which cumulatively account for over 95% of Utah’s base metal and gold endowment.

Historically most of the mining activity in the district has been directed at high grade base metal deposits associated with fault structures and breccia pipes. Examples of this include the Horn Silver mine, essentially developed on oxidised supergene mineralisation located along the Horn Silver Fault and associated cross structures, as well as the breccia pipe-hosted Comet, Cactus, New Year copper mines. These deposits are included within the Frisco Project and will be described in more detail in Section 7.4.

Other deposits, not within the Frisco Project tenements, include the skarn-hosted base metal deposits owned by CS Mining LLC near Milford, which produced copper silver and gold until the company entered Chapter 11 in the latter part of 2016. The operation is currently on Care and Maintenance.

7.3.2 Frisco Project Geology, Magnetics and Mineral Zonation

Project Geology

As can be seen on Figure 4, the Frisco Project area is underlain by metamorphosed carbonate-dominant sequence (with some other interbedded sediments) intruded by monzonitic to granodioritic intrusive units belonging to the Cactus Stock. The Cactus Stock consists of various coarse grained granitoid phases ranging from granodiorite, through monzonite to possibly quartz diorite. The Cactus Stock has a roughly east-west oriented contact with carbonate dominant formations to the south which have been altered by contact metamorphism and metasomatism, to skarn, hornfels and marble. The contact zone ranges in width from about 300m in the west to about 900m in the east and contains an abundance of historic exploration diggings and mine workings including, but not limited to, the Washington, Cupric and Imperial mines.

Younger extrusive volcanics (lavas etc.) occur in the eastern portion of the Frisco Project and in the Horn Silver Mine area are in obvious faulted contact with metamorphosed carbonates. Extensive alluvial cover is present west of the meta-carbonates and the granitoids.

The project area is characterised by a dominant northwest to southeast structural fabric defined by extensive fracturing and faulting. Major faults include the west-northwest trending Reciprocity Shear and Drum Fissure zone as well as the northwest trending Squaw Spring Fault in the west and the north-south trending Horn Silver Fault in the east.

Project Magnetics

In 2016 Alderan completed an heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the entire project area and the magnetic image (Figure 5) is particularly useful with respect to defining both the underlying geology, alteration and several distinct magnetic anomalies associated with known mineralisation. Comparing Figures 4 and 5 it is evident that the Cactus Stock, where it is unaltered, is characterised by strong magnetic highs (reds and orange hues on Figure 5) while that Cactus Breccia Pipes are associated with almost bulls-eye magnetic lows due to the alteration (magnetite destruction) associated with the mineralised Pipes. The Cactus Canyon porphyry copper prospect, is defined by a southeast trending corridor of magnetic lows.

Metal Zonation

The known mineralisation within the Frisco Project exhibits both a distinct metal zonation (from north to south) and four differing mineralisation styles have been recognised and used by Alderan to define initial prospects for followup investigation (see Figures 2 and 5). These prospects are:

  • The Cactus Prospect , in the northern portion of the project consists of breccia pipes within the Cactus Stock, hosting copper + gold + silver mineralisation.

  • The Cactus Canyon Prospect , which encompasses the Cactus Prospect, consist of potential porphyry-style copper, molybdenum + gold mineralisation hosted within the Cactus Stock intrusive units.

  • The Accrington Prospect , further north, consists of the metamorphosed carbonate units (skarns and hornfelsed sediments) characterised zinc, silver, copper + gold mineralisation.

  • The Horn Silver Mine Prospect , in the south of the project, centred on the historical Horn Silver Mine and consisting of limestone breccia-hosted high grade lead, silver, zinc + copper + gold mineralisation, associated with the Horn Silver Fault zone.

7.3.3 Work Undertaken to Date by Alderan

To date Alderan has:

  • Completed an extensive review, compilation, digitisation and modelling of the available historical data.

  • Undertaken preliminary geological mapping over the project with some detailed mapping undertaken over selected areas.

  • Grab rock chip sampling particularly around the known historical mine workings and excavations.

  • Core logging of available diamond drill core at the Utah Geological Survey’s core library in Salt Lake City.

  • Sampling of visibly altered and mineralised outcrops along geological traverses.

  • Commissioned an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over a large portion of the project area and including development of a 3D magnetic model for the project.

  • Completed 100m by 50m grid soil and rock chip sampling over the Accrington Prospect.

7.4 Identified Prospects

7.4.1 Cactus Breccia Pipes Prospect and Cactus Canyon Porphyry Copper Prospect

The large Cactus Canyon Porphyry Copper Prospect contains two separate exploration targets associated with the intrusive Cactus Stock. These are:

  • a) The Cactus Breccia Pipe Targets consisting of a cluster of outcropping mineralised breccia pipes within the larger Cactus Canyon area. Some of the pipes have been previously mined by open pit and underground producing copper, silver and gold.

  • b) The Cactus Canyon Porphyry Copper Target , which refers to the potential for discovery of porphyry copper mineralisation hosted by Cactus Stock intrusive phases. (Figures 2 and 4).

a) The Cactus Breccia Pipe Targets

This consists of a cluster of mineralised breccia pipes, of which three; Cactus, New Year and Comet, have been subjected to historical mining. Of these three pipes, the most substantial mine development occurred on the Cactus Pipe.

The Cactus Pipe was discovered in 1870, with mining of the exposed copper oxide mineralisation (mainly malachite), commencing the same year. Initial open pit mining was followed by underground development and several small concentrators and smelters were erected nearby although very little material appears to have been processed.

The Cactus Pipe has an elliptical surface exposure of about 100m by 50m and has been previously developed to a depth of about 274m (900ft) with drives developed at 100ft levels (Figure 6). In 1908 the Cactus underground workings collapsed down to the 500ft level and a subsequent fall in the copper price resulted in production ceasing in 1914.

The nearby Comet Pipe, owned by a separate group, was also developed and a small shaft and a nearby separate smelter was erected, although no production was recorded.

The fact that differing companies had the rights to areas adjacent to the Cactus Pipe constrained mine development. During later years, including the period of the second world war, small amounts of mineralisation were mined and processed (see Table 7.1).

Intermittent company exploration of the Cactus Breccia Pipes commenced in the late 1950s with various groups including Anaconda Company (“Anaconda”), Tintic Lead Company, Cobra Mining Company, Rosario Exploration Company, Western Utah Copper Corporation, CS Mining LLC and others, undertaking exploration.

Work undertaken included geological mapping and geochemical sampling and an induced polarisation survey on a nominal 300m by 300m station interval. A considerable amount of drilling has been completed in the area with most drilling concentrated within and around the Cactus open pit. The drilling predominantly consisted of reverse circulation (“RC”) holes, but included some core drilling from underground by Rosario Exploration Company (“Rosario”).

As shown on Figure 6, the Cactus, Comet and New Year pipes, as well as two others not previously mined (Colburn and Purity,) are aligned along a west-northwest trending structural corridor some 1,000m long by several hundred

metres wide. The breccia pipes appear to have preferentially developed in areas where the west northwest structural corridor has been cut by northeast trending cross faults.

The pipes consist of large, angular to sub-rounded clasts of altered intrusive, varying from monzonite to quartz diorite (ranging from equigranular to porphyritic phases), in a matrix consisting of a variable mixture of quartz, hematite, tourmaline, pyrite and chalcopyrite.

To date Alderan has digitised the available historical information, constructed a preliminary three-dimensional model of the Cactus Pipe mineralisation based on the available historical drilling and undertaken a preliminary tonnage and grade estimate. Alderan’s tonnage and grade estimate does not conform the JORC code and is therefore not included in this report.

The Cactus Prospect was also included in the Company’s airborne magnetic survey over the Frisco Project. The magnetic data exhibits a strong correlation of magnetic lows (caused by the destruction of magnetite and the development of the breccias by the mineralising fluids), with the known breccia pipes (see lower left hand side inset to Figure 6).

The New Year, Cactus and Comet magnetic lows coalesce at depth into a large semi-circular zone of low magnetic intensity and may indicate more extensive magnetite destruction, possibly accompanied by porphyry-style mineralisation, below the known pipes. This represents an obvious exploration target for Alderan in this area and is an obvious extension of the larger Cactus Canyon Prospect.

Figure 7, an oblique schematic cross section through the Cactus Mine shows some of the historical drill intercepts obtained by both Anaconda (holes DDH5 and DDH6) and Rosario (‘R’ sequence holes and underground drill holes (UDDH 602 and 604A).

On Figure 7 the dashed boundary lines outlining the Cactus Breccia are taken from a Rosario cross section and are assumed, by GA, to represent the outline of the breccia pipe based on Rosario’s core logging. The curved shape of the Cactus Breccia Pipe may be an artefact of the lack of down hole surveying of holes DDH 5 and 6. If the dip of these holes had decreased with depth, the Cactus Breccia Pipe would have a more vertical outline.

The intercept down hole lengths and grades shown are based on Alderan’s assessment of the Rosario assay database and there has been no assay cut-off applied to the intervals shown. Table 7.2, developed by GA, is based on a 0.5% Cu cut-off. These intervals lie within the intercepts shown on Figure 7. Due to the oblique nature of Figure 7 it was not possible to accurately plot the position of these internal higher grade intervals.

From the available historical production figures (Table 7.1 in Section 7.2) both gold and silver were significant byproducts to copper. These elements, are included as target commodities in Alderan’s future exploration of the breccia pipes in the Cactus Prospect area.

b) The Cactus Canyon Porphyry Copper Target

Numerous groups considered the Cactus Canyon area had the potential to host porphyry copper-style mineralisation but exploration for this style of mineralisation did not commence until the early 1970s.

Modelling (by Alderan) of the airborne magnetic data in the Cactus Canyon area demonstrates it is dominated by a major, west northwest trending, structural corridor within the Cactus Stock (Figures 5 and 6). This is due to the otherwise strongly magnetic intrusive phases of the Cactus Stock being demagnetised by hydrothermal fluids destroying the magnetite.

Although most historical exploration has been concentrated on the Cactus Breccia Pipe targets (described in more detail below), some exploration was also directed towards testing the potential for larger-scale porphyry copper style mineralisation in the altered Cactus Stock. This alteration is focused within the north northwest structural corridor which can be traced to the south southeast until it is obscured by the younger andesitic volcanics.

The most significant prior exploration was by Amax, with exploration including the drilling of four deep core holes (holes 520-1 to 520-4) to test for porphyry copper mineralisation in the early 1970s. Amax sampled the cores in 30.5m (100ft) intervals with the samples being assayed for copper molybdenum and often zinc. Significantly no gold or silver assays were undertaken. The best results obtained was 30m at 0.22% Cu, 105ppm Mo from 427m in hole 520-1 in what appears to have been a dyke. Hole 520-1 was drilled below the Cactus breccia pipe and indicates mineralisation extends below the breccia pipe.

Regional mapping by Amax also confirmed the presence of widespread alteration of the intrusives within the structural corridor typical of porphyry copper systems

The core to these four holes is stored in Salt Lake City and has been re-logged and hole 520-4 only was selectively re-sampled by Alderan with only low values obtained; best result being 5.5m from a depth of 233m at 389ppm Cu, 2.1ppm Mo.

GA inspected all four holes during the November 2016 site visit and both this inspection and Alderan’s logging confirmed the holes intersected variably altered and mineralised intrusive phases of the Cactus Stock. Disseminated sulphide minerals noted include pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite with occasional flakes of molybdenite also present usually on fracture planes. Alteration minerals included sericite, tourmaline, potassium feldspar, epidote and actinolite with occasional rare anhydrite. Finer grained aplitic dykes and occasional quartz veins intrude the coarse equigranular and porphyritic phases of the Cactus Stock.

The magnetic modelling by Alderan has identified a large magnetic low beneath and adjacent to the Cactus Breccia pipes and suggests that the Cactus Breccia Pipes are in fact part of an overall porphyry copper-style system developed within the magnetic low defined structural corridor.

GA Comment

In GA’s opinion, the work to date, both historical and by Alderan, confirms that the Cactus Canyon, Prospect, including the Cactus Breccia Pipes, Prospects represents a typical Porphyry Copper system. Cactus Canyon represents an, at present, poorly explored but valid target for a large-scale disseminated copper-molybdenum + gold + silver deposit. The four Amax core holes yielded anomalous, although sub-economic copper, molybdenum and gold grades. The core inspection by GA confirmed the presence of weak alteration accompanied by visible disseminated sulphide mineralisation typical of porphyry copper systems. The four holes drilled to date have not adequately tested the potential of the Copper Canyon Prospect area and further evaluation is justified.

The internal zone of breccia pipes, referred to here as the Cactus Breccia Pipe Targets, are considered to have potential for smaller tonnage, but higher grade, copper + gold + silver mineralisation and most of the drill testing to date has been restricted to shallow open holes in the Cactus Pit. GA considers that further detailed evaluation and exploration of the cluster of pipes is warranted.

7.4.2 Accrington Prospect

The Accrington Prospect, a short distance to the north of the Horn Silver Mine Prospect (see Figure 2), consists of a large area (some 1.8km east-west by 1.2km north-south), characterised by extensive shallow pits and some deeper shafts from historical mining and exploration activity.

Historical, but intermittent, production has taken place since the late 1800s or early 1900s and it is evident that ownership of the various mines is complex and has varied over time. Lead, zinc, copper and probably some silver

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 73

and gold production has been recorded from the historical Imperial and Washington mine areas. Additional production also occurred from other smaller mine workings such as the Antwerp, Cupric, Iron Devil, Drum, amongst others. Most, if not all production appears to have been from underground but actual production statistics are unavailable.

In the late 1960s HSM, or its precursor companies, gained an interest in the area through an arrangement with the Tintic Mineral Resources Inc and by 1982 HSM consolidated its ownership to 100%. HSM then negotiated farmin arrangements with numerous groups in the late 1980s to early 1990s. These included Noranda, Arapahoe Mining Company (“Arapahoe”), Bethlehem Resources Corporation (“Bethlehem”), Freeport Exploration Company and Bear Creek Mining Co. These groups undertook exploration, including some drill testing, on various targets within the Accrington Prospect area.

The Accrington Prospect is dominated by a stratigraphic sequence of metamorphosed and metasomatised carbonaterich units with some interbedded shale; the overall sequence dipping about 25[o] to the west northwest. Prospect scale, gentle, asymmetrical synclinal folding with the fold axis trending northeast to north northeast is evident.

The meta-carbonate lithologies include skarns, wollastonite-rich horizons, hornfels and marble units. Garnets are frequent and their coloration has been mapped out ranging from brown/red to green/yellow coloration. Acid to intermediate porphyry dykes, up to 10m wide, generally with a north northwesterly strike, are common throughout the Accrington Prospect. Some of the porphyry dykes contain visible sulphides and are stained by malachite. These are considered possibly related to the nearby Cactus Stock outcropping to the north (see Figures 4 and 5). The metasediments are bounded to the east by the north-south Horn Silver Fault and to the west the sequence is obscured by alluvium. The results of the airborne magnetic survey undertaken by Alderan indicates that the meta-sediments extend beneath the alluvium.

Extensive iron oxide staining is present along fractures throughout the metasediments and is almost certainly derived from the oxidation of original sulphide minerals. Malachite, after copper sulphides, is present in numerous surface outcrops. Intense argillic alteration of the carbonate units is often noted, particularly in the vicinity of the porphyry dykes and along structures and fissures. Epidote alteration is evident over large portions of the prospect, often in conjunction with Wollastonite. Silicification is common throughout the prospect.

In 1989, Bethlehem, in joint venture with Arapahoe, undertook reconnaissance electrical geophysical surveys (PEM and IP) over areas of known mineralisation (i.e. near some of the historical mines) in the Accrington Prospect. Numerous moderate to strong electrical conductors were outlined which were subsequently tested by a total of five RC holes (R-89-2 to 6). Drilling difficulties prevented some holes reaching the target depth. The best intersections obtained were from Hole R-89-5 (coordinates – 299402E, 4258920N), near the Block Incline workings, which returned the following results:

  • 9.14m (30ft) at 2.7% Pb, 0.95% Zn, 0.27g/t Au, 58g/t Ag from a depth of 6.1m (20ft)

  • 3.5m 10ft) at 1.7% Pb, 1.12% Zn, 0.48g/t Au, 35g/t Ag from a depth of 73.2m (240ft)

Hole R-89-5 encountered mineralised skarn over its entire length of 128m (420ft). Sulphides noted included pyrite, galena, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.

There has been some historical drilling from the underground workings at the Imperial mine with some wide, along hole, zones of copper mineralisation intersected. Using a lower cut-off grade of 0.5% Cu, this includes (but is not limited to) along hole intercepts of 19.5m at 1.79% Cu (hole ILH 13) and 36.6m at 1.23% Cu. There is insufficient information available to determine the true widths of these intersections.

Initial reconnaissance rock chip sampling by Alderan and earlier explorers, yielded anomalous copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold values from numerous iron oxide stained outcrops, while grab samples taken from a number of the historical mine dumps have returned percentage base metal values indicating, as would be expected, the historical mines were developed on high grade massive sulphide zones along prominent major fracture zones or faults.

In late 2016 Alderan undertook a grid based rock chip and soil sampling program over a large portion of the Accrington Prospect. A nominal 50m spacing was adopted along north-south trending grid line 100m apart. Sampling focused on composite rock chip sampling within a 10m radius of the grid location. Float material was avoided where possible. Rock type, alteration, visible mineralisation and potential contamination were noted for each sample position. Samples were prepared and analysed for 49 elements, including gold, at the ALS laboratory in Reno Nevada.

For a preliminary interpretation of the results, Alderan combined both its own results with available results from historical explorers which outlined numerous anomalies over the Accrington Prospect. Using the following cut-off grades, the anomalous zones, overlain on a simplified geology map, are shown on Figures 9 and 10.

In broad terms, as can be seen on Figures 9 and 10, there is a relatively good correlation between anomalous areas of precious metal (gold and silver) and base metal (copper, lead and zinc) anomalism and the anomalies are essentially confined to meta-carbonate units (skarns, hornfels, etc.) and only rarely extend into the quartzite, unaltered carbonate, or the Cactus Stock.

GA Comment

Both the historical exploration as well as Alderan’s work to date in the Accrington Prospect, provides encouragement that this prospect may have potential for both open pit and underground polymetallic deposits.

The initial interpretation of the recently completed grid rock chip and soil geochemical survey is encouraging with large base and precious metal anomalous zones outlined over the metamorphosed carbonate sequence. The area is also characterized by numerous historical mine workings and exploratory excavations as well as widespread visible indications and alteration and mineralization.

7.4.3 Horn Silver Mine Prospect

The Horn Silver Mine prospect, located near the southeastern edge of the Frisco Project tenements (Figures 2 and 4), is the site of the historical high grade lead-silver-zinc (+ copper + gold) from the underground Horn Silver Mine. A second underground mine, the King David Shaft, developed further to the west, is thought to have had little or no production.

The known lead-silver-zinc mineralisation is located within Palaeozoic age brecciated carbonate units (bedded silicified limestones, skarns, epidote-rich hornfels and marbles) within, and in the immediate vicinity of, the of the steeply north-south striking Horn Silver Fault.

The fault has developed at the contact between the shallow west-dipping (5[o] -20[o] ) carbonate units on the western side of the fault and the younger Tertiary andesitic volcanics on the eastern side of the fault (Figure 11).

The fault zone is described as reaching widths of 30.5m (100ft) and is estimated as having a throw in excess of 450m. The Horn Silver Fault zone terminates against the Cactus Stock to the north of the mine area. Quartz monzonite dykes intrude the sequence in the northern portion of the mine area.

Prior mining targeted high grade massive sulphides and near surface oxides. The mineralisation is dominantly hosted within the brecciated and silicified carbonate units however some historical explorers have speculated that some of the mineralisation may also occur in blanket-shaped manto horizons developed along the bedding planes within the carbonates adjacent to the fault. Mantos usually form by the dissolution of the carbonates by acidic mineralising fluids and the replacement of the carbonate minerals with sulphide mineralisation.

The Horn Silver deposit occurs as a tabular, near vertical to steeply west dipping, breccia-hosted zone, which prior to mining indicated had a north-south strike length of some 215m, a vertical extent of about 290m and east-west widths typically ranging from 9-18m with a maximum recorded width of up to 55m.

The principal mineral species (sulphides, supergene secondary minerals and oxide minerals) include sphalerite, galena, pyrite, bornite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, smithsonite, chalcocite and hemimorphite.

The shafts at the Horn Silver Mine, reached a depth of some 488m (1,600ft) with horizontal levels generally developed at 100ft levels within the mineralised zone. The nearby King David Shaft did not encounter mineralisation as it is offset from the main Horn Silver mineralised zone.

Historical mining at the Horn Silver Mine concentrated on oxidised and supergene lead-silver rich mineralisation however copper, zinc and gold were also recovered as shown on Table 7.1 (section 7.2) above. Historical mining (Figure 11) initially concentrated on oxide and supergene mineralisation from surface to about 183m (600ft) with sulphides becoming more dominant with depth. A mixture of oxide and sulphide species persist to the 1000ft level. The secondary supergene zinc mineralisation extended to a considerable depth due to oxidation of original sulphides down the Horn Fault zone.

It is evident that lead and silver were the main metals of interest to the historical miners and there is a suggestion in some of the previous historical exploration reports that a considerable amount of zinc-dominant sulphides have been either left in the underground stopes or used as backfill into open stopes.

Several companies have explored the Horn Silver Mine property under various ownership structures and farm-in arrangements since the 1920s. Since the current patented claim holder acquired the area in about 1964, farm-in arrangements were negotiated with a variety of groups, including, but not limited to,

Rosario (1966-1971), Freeport Minerals Company (1982-1985), Bethlehem Resources Corporation (1985-1993), Teck Cominco America Inc (1999) and Franconia Minerals Corporation (“Franconia”) in two phases between 2000 and 2006.

In 1982 Mr M.C. Godbe, a previous engineering consultant to HSM, estimated the potential tonnage and grade of zinc mineralisation remaining in the mine area. This estimate does not conform to the JORC code and is therefore not quoted here.

In 2002 Franconia opened and rehabilitated the King David Mine workings, accessed and mapped the 650 level and field checked accessible portions of the 800, 900 and 1000 levels. Channel sampling of along the 650 and 900 levels returned significant zinc values as shown in Table 7.2 below.

Notes:

  1. Franconia descriptions suggest that the intervals contained base metal sulphides (pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite).

  2. Only zinc values available except for the internal higher grade section on the 900 level.

An electrical geophysical survey was undertaken in the 650 level but failed to provide any new information regarding the potential for sulphide mineralisation below the 650 level.

Three Franconia diamond drill holes (“DDH”), SF-1, 2 and 3, were drilled from surface and two of these (holes SF2 and 3) intersected significant zinc values as shown in Table 7.3 below. Franconia indicated that the zinc was in the form of smithsonite (a secondary zinc carbonate mineral) and there were no significant lead or silver values in the intersections.

It is significant to note that the deeper intersections in SF-2 and SF-3 appear to be below the deepest levels previously mined but this assumes the holes maintained their planned direction and dip and did not lift. Franconia however did not undertake any down-hole surveys so the actual track of the hoes is unknown. They do provide encouragement that the deposit remains open at depth.

  3. The intercept widths above are intersection lengths, not true widths.

The previous exploration appears to have focused on the remnant zinc mineralisation within the underground mine workings and the results provide encouragement that there may be significant high-grade zinc mineralisation within the mine workings. This is an area worth further investigation by Alderan.

The major work to date by Alderan has consisted collecting and digitising the available historical data, some reconnaissance mapping, geochemical rock chip and grab sampling in and around the historical workings. The Horn Silver Prospect was also included in an airborne magnetic survey flown in 2016.

GA Comment

In GA’s opinion, at this stage, the presence of manto-style mineralisation within the Horn Silver Prospect, while a realistic possibility, remains unproven. It is based largely on some surface observations by previous explorers and interpretation (again by historical explorers) of underground diamond core holes from the 650ft and 800ft levels.

The likelihood of zinc-dominant mineralisation remaining in the underground workings is high but the quantity and grade has not been definitively substantiated. In the era of the previous mine activity, lead was of far greater interest than zinc. However, even if significant zinc dominant mineralisation has been left behind, future extraction may be compromised by safety issues associated with the existing underground workings and would need to be closely evaluated by Alderan.

The existing underground King David workings were most recently rehabilitated and accessed in about 2002. At present the condition of these working remains uncertain and Alderan has, as yet, not made any attempt to inspect the underground workings. It is likely that Alderan’s future exploration of this prospect will include an assessment of what additional rehabilitation would be required to safely re-enter the underground to enable mapping sampling and possibly drilling.

In GA’s opinion, the potential along strike and depth extensions of the Horn Silver deposit are attractive and valid exploration targets for Alderan.

7.5 Frisco Project - Overall Conclusions

In GA’s opinion, the various mineralisation styles represented by the Cactus Breccia Pipe and Cactus Canyon, Accrington and Horn Silver Mine Prospects, as described in the sections above, are probably related to a single porphyry copper mineralising system associated with the Cactus Stock.

The Cactus/Cactus Canyon potentially represents mineralisation styles typically found within the intrusive phases while the Horn Silver Mine and Accrington Prospects represent replacement and contact metasomatic mineralisation within the aureole of the stock respectively.

There is clear evidence of a mineral zonation from north to south within the Frisco Project.

 The Cactus Breccia Prospect, is characterised by copper-gold + molybdenum.

80 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

  • The Accrington Prospect, to the north of the Horn Silver Mine, while also being characterised by zinc, lead and silver, has an increasing proportion of copper present and gold.

  • The Horn Silver Mine, in the south of the project, is dominated by lead-silver-zinc + copper + gold mineralisation.

The comments below are designed to provide some indication of the types of targets represented by each of the four prospect areas within the Frisco Project. In each case, the comments assume future exploration success by Alderan, and should not be interpreted to indicate that any economically viable deposits are currently outlined.

The Cactus Breccia Pipe Prospect (including Cactus, New Year and Comet), represent copper-gold + molybdenite targets which, depending on future exploration success, represent targets for the development of deposits that could be amenable to open pit and/or underground extraction.

The Cactus Canyon Prospect is at this stage is poorly defined. The magnetic survey and subsequent modelling however has provided a large area of demagnetisation below and adjacent to the Cactus Pipe that is an obvious target for follow-up investigation by Alderan Visually (from GA’s inspection of the previous Amax core stored at Salt Lake City) there are zones of disseminated sulphides (including pyrite, chalcopyrite and occasional molybdenite) within altered intrusive phases of the Cactus Stock. Although the alteration is typical of that found in porphyry copper systems, in GA’s experience it is of weaker intensity than what would be expected in the immediate vicinity of significant mineralisation. This may be because the Amax holes were drilled at random positions rather than sited to test specific porphyry copper targets and may reflect a poor understanding of porphyry copper systems.

The analytical results obtained by Amax and from the re-sampling undertaken by Alderan of hole DDH 520-4, while weakly anomalous, do not approach potentially economically viable levels. The best intercept in the Amax holes was 30m down hole averaging 0.22% Cu (DDH 520-1) in what appears to have been an intrusive dyke. This intercept lies adjacent to the main magnetic target defined from Alderan’s magnetic survey (zone of demagnetisation) and to higher grade mineralisation within the Cactus Breccia Pipe.

GA is of the view that while the Cactus Canyon Prospect remains an interesting porphyry copper exploration prospect, it will take considerable effort to select targets from within this large area for drill testing. The magnetic data will be of considerable assistance in identifying targets for follow-up investigation. Overall the Cactus Canyon prospect represents a longer-term target than the other three prospects.

The Accrington Prospect , exhibits wide zones of anomalous base and precious metals within the metamorphosed carbonate units and, as such, represent a target for the development of one or more deposits that might be amenable to extraction by open pit mining. There are also numerous historical mine workings such as Imperial and Washington that may have potential for extensions laterally and/or at depth. A number of historical holes drilled from the Imperial underground workings intersected wide, along hole, zone of over 1% copper. These therefore represent lower tonnage but potentially higher-grade targets for possible underground extraction.

GA considers that the main exploration target at the Horn Silver Mine Prospect to be high grade, structurally controlled and skarn-hosted mineralisation, within the potential depth and lateral extensions to the previously mined deposit. Remnant, high grade zinc mineralisation within the current workings is also of potential interest but probably only if depth and/or lateral extensions to the known deposit are developed.

8.0 PROGRAM AND BUDGET

Alderan has developed a two-year program and budget to evaluate the Frisco Project area for the A$8.5 million capital raising as well as for the A$6.5 million minimum raising. The Company plans to undertake a considerable amount of drill testing of the major targets within the Horn Silver Mine, Accrington and Cactus Breccia Pipes Prospect areas as these have the potential to develop near-term higher-grade polymetallic resources. Initial work planned includes:

  • Infill and confirmation drilling at the Cactus Breccia Pipes prospects and at the Horn Silver Mine.

  • Drill testing in the Washington Mine area within the Accrington Prospect.

  • An IP survey in the Cactus Breccia Pipe area and over the larger Cactus Canyon area. In the former area the objective will be to identify additional targets for drill testing.

  • IP and EM surveys within the Accrington Prospect with the expectation that, in combination with the magnetic data already obtained, additional targets for drill testing will be defined.

  • In addition to the detailed exploration above, mapping and sampling within the entire Frisco Project tenements will be on-going and Alderan is planning to engage the services of a recognised porphyry copper expert to assist in establishing vectors to the best target areas for drill testing of the porphyry copper potential of the project area.

The proposed two-year budget is shown on Table 8.1 below with the figures only relating to direct exploration costs. The figures include the advanced royalties payable to HSM relating to the patented claims and fees payable to the BLM in respect to the unpatented claims.

GA Comment

GA considers the proposed exploration program and budget is appropriate and will significantly advance the understanding of the entire Frisco Project.

It is anticipated that the high component of drill testing of some of the known advanced targets, when completed, should progress some of the areas, such as the Horn Silver Mine and the Cactus Breccia Pipe prospects, towards resource definition. Additional infill drilling, beyond that outlined above, will be required to enable resources in accordance with the JORC code to be estimated.

The potential for the Cactus Canyon Prospect to host a large disseminated porphyry copper (+ gold + molybdenum) will be further evaluated in the first two years by a combination of engaging an internationally recognised expert in porphyry copper deposits and with some additional targeted drill testing.

Independent Limited Assurance Report (“Report”) on Alderan Resources Limited Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Introduction

We have been engaged by Alderan Resources Limited (“Alderan” or the “Company”) to report on the historical financial information of Alderan for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 and the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 and pro forma financial information of the Company as at 31 December 2016 for inclusion in the prospectus (“Prospectus”) of Alderan dated on or about 4 April 2017 in connection with Alderan’s proposed initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), pursuant to which the Company is offering up to 42,500,000 ordinary Alderan shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise a maximum of $8.5 million. The minimum subscription level is 32,500,000 ordinary Alderan share at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise a minimum of $6.5 million, before costs (the “Offer”).

Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

The future prospects of the Company, other than the preparation of a Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, assuming completion of the transactions summarised in Note 1 of the Appendix of this Report, are not addressed in this Report. This Report also does not address the rights attaching to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, nor the risks associated with an investment in shares in the Company.

Background

Alderan was incorporated in Victoria on 31 July 2013 with a focus on securing, exploring for and developing base and precious metal projects. The Company holds rights to the Frisco Project in Utah, USA through its wholly owned subsidiary, Volantis Resources Corp.

The Frisco Project hosts three advanced exploration prospects. These are:

  •  The Cactus copper-gold-silver deposit, a historic mine with drilling, post the closure of the mine, identifying extensive remaining mineralisation open to depth and along strike, with recent geophysical surveys and modelling by Alderan indicating potential for significant extensions to depth;

  •  The Accrington copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold deposit, a large mineralised skarn which outcrops at surface across an area of approximately 1.8km by 1.2km, with widespread historical mining activity and historical drilling; and

  •  The Horn zinc-lead-silver deposit, a historical high grade lead-silver mine with significant remaining mineralisation defined by drilling and exploration works undertaken since the mine’s closure.

Re-logging of historic core has confirmed the presence of a mineralised copper-molybdenum porphyry, a possible fourth deposit, called the Cactus Canyon prospect, within the centre of the Frisco Project that remains largely untested due to limited extent of historic drilling.

Historical financial information

You have requested RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd (“RSM”) to review the following historical financial information

of the Company included in the Prospectus at the Appendix to this Report:

  •  The consolidated statements of financial performance and cash flows of the Company and its controlled entities for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 and the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015; and

  •  The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company and its controlled entities as at 31 December 2016.

(together the “Historical Financial Information” attached at the Appendix to this Report).

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies.

The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from:

  •  The financial statements of the Company for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, which were reviewed by RSM Australia Partners in accordance with International Auditing Standards. The review reports issued for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 were unqualified opinions; and

  •  The financial statements of the Company for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016, which were audited by Loren Datt Audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards. The audit reports issued for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 were unqualified opinions, however the audit report for the year ended 30 June 2016 included an emphasis of matter regarding going concern, citing inherent uncertainty which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report, as the Company incurred a net loss of $209,507, had negative operating cash flows and had net current liabilities of $79,345.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 .

Pro forma historical financial information

You have requested RSM to review the pro forma historical consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, referred to as “the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information of the Company after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Note 1 of

the Appendix to this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Note 1 of the Appendix to this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or statement of financial performance.

Directors’ responsibility

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and / or Prospective Financial Information .

A review consists of making such enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our procedures included:

  •  A consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation, to the Historical and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information;

  •  A review of the Company’s and its auditors’ work papers, accounting records and other documents;

  •  Enquiry of directors, management personnel and advisors;

  •  Consideration of subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Note 1 of the Appendix to this Report; and

  •  Performance of analytical procedures applied to the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusions

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendix to this Report, and comprising:

  •  The consolidated statements of financial performance and cash flows of the Company and its controlled entities for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 and the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015; and

  •  The consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 of the Company and its controlled entities,

are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Note 2 of the Appendix to this Report.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendix to this Report, and comprising the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2016 of the Company and its controlled entities are not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Note 1 of the Appendix of this Report.

Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

It should be read in conjunction with the notes to the historical and pro forma financial information.

96 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

Appendix A – Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

1. Introduction

The financial information set out in this Appendix consists of the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 and the consolidated statements of financial performance and cash flows for the half-years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 and the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 (“Historical Financial Information”) together with a pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, reflecting the Directors’ pro forma adjustments (“Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”).

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by adjusting the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company for the impact of the following subsequent events and pro forma adjustments.

Adjustments adopted in compiling the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

The Pro Forma Historical Consolidated Information has been prepared by adjusting the Historical Financial Information to reflect the financial effects of the following subsequent events which have occurred in the period since 31 December 2016 and the date of this Report:

Appendix A – Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

2. Statement of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The significant accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the historical and the Pro forma Historical Financial Information are:

(b) Basis of measurement

The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss , which are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These historical and pro forma financial information has been presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

(e) Principles of consolidation

The historical and pro forma financial information incorporates the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by the Company at the end of the pro forma reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which the Company has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been charged where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

(f) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 99

Appendix A – Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

(g) Going concern

The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

(k) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office equipment 50% per annum

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

(l) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

(m) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

100 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

Appendix A – Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

(n) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They

are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

(o) Share-based payment transactions

The Company provides benefits to employees and other parties in the form of share based payments, whereby the employees and parties provide services in exchange for shares and other securities in the Company. The cost of the equity settled share based payment transactions is determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The fair value of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance/ and or service conditions are fulfilled (“vesting period”).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

  • (i) The grant date fair value;

  • (ii) The extent to which the vesting period has expired; and

  • (iii) The number of equity instruments that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest.

This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for equity instruments that do not ultimately vest, except for equity instruments where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

(p) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 101

Appendix A – Historical and Pro Forma Financial Information

(q) Goods and services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

The Prospectus has provision for subscriptions of between 32,500,000 and 42,500,000 shares to raise between $6.5 million and $8.5 million before costs, wherein the pro forma statement of financial position assumes the maximum $8.5 million is raised. Should the minimum $6.5 million be raised, the share issue cash costs of the Offer, net of costs to date, would decrease to $592,348 and the cash at bank balance would decrease by $1,878,001 to $6,424,584.

Re: Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements Frisco Project Tenements Beaver County, Utah

Dear Directors:

This report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus to be issued by Alderan Resources Limited (“ Alderan ” or the “ Company ”) to be dated on or about April 5, 2017 (the “ Prospectus ”). Pursuant to the Prospectus the Company is proposing to issue a minimum of 32,500,000 and a maximum of 42,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.20 to raise between $6,500,000 and $8,500,000 (“ Public Offer ” or the “ Offer ”). Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used in this report, are defined in accordance with the Prospectus.

A. DESCRIPTION OF TENEMENTS

This report concerns United States tenements in which the Company currently holds an apparent interest through its wholly owned subsidiary Volantis Resources Corp. (“ Volantis ”), including 231 privately owned patented mining claims (the “ Fee Property ”) and 178 unpatented federal mining claims (the “ Unpatented Claims ”) constituting the Frisco Project located roughly 25 kilometers west of Milford in Beaver County, Utah.[1] The Unpatented Claims are situated on lands owned by the United States of America and administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management (“ BLM ”). The Fee Property and Unpatented Claims are sometimes

1 A mining claim is a property interest created pursuant to the Mining Law of 1872 (the “ Mining Law ”). The Mining Law prescribes rules for staking lode or placer mining claims. The Frisco Project involves almost exclusively lode mining claims. Lode claims may, at a maximum, be 600 feet (182.88 metres) wide by 1500 feet (457.2 metres) long. Accordingly, a lode claim may have an area no larger than 20.661 acres (8.361 hectares).

The Mining Law also provided a mechanism for claimants to purchase from the federal government a valid mining claim in fee simple absolute. Following payment along with a survey and other processes to confirm claim validity, federal government issued a mineral entry patent that evidenced the transfer of title to private ownerhsip. The U.S. Congress has, however, imposed a moratorium on any new patents under the Mining Law effective September 30, 1994.

An overview of the Fee Property is contained in Schedule 1 (“ Horn Patented Claims ”) and Schedule 2 (“ Cactus Patented Claims ”), which are attached to and form part of this report. An overview of the Unpatented Claims is contained in Schedule 3 (“ Horn Unpatented Claims ”) and Schedule 4 (“ Cactus Unpatented Claims ”), which are attached to and form a part of this report.

B. TITLE EVIDENCE EXAMINED

This report is based only upon our examination of the following documents, records, and information:

  1. BLM Master Title Plats and Historical Indices for the following townships according to the Salt Lake Base and Meridan: Township 26 South, Range 13 West; Township 27 South, Range 13 West; and Township 27 South, Range 12 West.[3]

  2. BLM Geographic Active Claims Indices for the relevant sections (as listed in Schedules 1 through 4).

  3. BLM claim files for the Unpatented Claims.

  4. Title report dated March 23, 2017 and related documents (collectively, the “ Dean Report ”) compiled by Rodney Dean, a mineral title examiner based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Dean Report summarizes Mr. Dean’s examination of the following records: the official records of the Beaver County Recorder; state district court records for Beaver County, Utah; the relevant BLM records at the BLM State Office in Salt Lake City, Utah; and records of the federal district court and the federal bankruptcy court for the district of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Dean was asked to review these records for conveyances, encumbrances, liens, judgments and other documents of record, evidence of annual unpatented mining claim maintenance filings, and any active or pending civil actions involving the owners of the Tenements.

2 Company is continuing to acquire additional rights is private and public land in the vicinity of the Frisco Project. This report covers only the Tenements as defined in this Report.

3 A “Township” is a roughly square area that is 6 miles (9.65 kilometres) in an east/west direction and 6 miles (9.65 kilometres) in a north/south direction. Townships are numbered sequentially north and south of a base line, while “Ranges” are numbered sequentially east and west of a meridian. A “Section” is, generally speaking, a one square mile tract of land as subdivided and numbered by the public land surveys initially conducted by the United States General Land Office. The 36 Sections in each Township are numbered 1 through 36. Each Section contains about 640 acres (259 hectares) of land. The public land survey system is used to describe rural land boundaries in all of the western United States, including Utah. Using this system, a given tract of land can be readily and uniquely described by listing the Section (or portion thereof), Township, Range and Meridian.

F. COMMENTS, QUALIFICATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

1. Fee Property

a. Origin of Title and Limited Title Search (affecting all Fee Property)

The Fee Property is comprised of 230 patented lode mining claims and 1 patented placer mining claim. These claims were originally located under the Mining Law and passed to private ownership through patent from the federal government. The patents issued at varying times from 1882 until 1920. Following patent, the Fee Property and each of its constituent claims or portions of such claims was privately owned property subject to conveyance and encumbrance. Utah law generally provides that any conveyance or encumbrance of an interest in privately owned real property will not be valid against a party paying value in good faith for such property unless the conveyance or encumbrance is recorded with the office of the relevant county recorder. And any document properly recorded in the office of the county recorder imparts constructive notice to all of the contents of the document. Accordingly, ownership of the Fee Property depends on the instruments recorded in the office of the Beaver County Recorder.

Because the planned activities on the Fee Property for purposes of the Prospectus are exploratory rather than extractive in nature, because there has been no indication of any challenge to Horn Silver’s ownership of the Fee Property as reflected in Beaver County tax records, because Horn Silver has paid the taxes assessed against the Fee Property since at least 2005, and because analysis of the voluminous collection of instruments that have been recorded during the century or more since the 231 mining claims were patented would be unduly burdensome, the Company determined that a reasonable analysis of recorded documents concerning the Fee Property should extend approximately 20 years back from the present. Accordingly, the Dean Report is based on documents recorded against the Fee Property from January 1, 1995 to March 22, 2017. No research or analysis of documents that may have been recorded against the Fee Property prior to January 1, 1995 has been undertaken by either Rod Dean or this firm, and there may accordingly be ownership claims or third-party rights to the Fee Property that are not identified in either the Dean Report or this Report.

b. GAR Lease (affecting 8 of the 111 Horn Patented Claims and 4 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

Both the Horn Lease and the Cactus Lease are made subject to a March 1, 2010 lease from Horn Silver to Great American Resources, LLC (the “ GAR Lease ”). The GAR Lease covers eight of the Horn Patented Claims and four of the Cactus Patented Claims as specifically identified in Schedules 1 and 2. We have not seen a copy of the GAR Lease, and no notice, other than references in the memoranda regarding the Horn Lease and the Cactus Lease, has been recorded in the office of the Beaver County Recorder. We understand that the GAR Lease covers mining of decorative rock, but cannot verify the lease term or the potential for the lease to impact

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 115

the Frisco Project. Before conducting specific, surface-disturbing exploratory work on the portion of the Fee Property encumbered by the GAR Lease, Company should consult with Horn Silver and better determine the scope of the GAR Lease.

  • c. Description Errors (affecting 26 of the 111 Horn Patented Claims and 20 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

In describing the Fee Property, legal descriptions in conveyance documents and in the Horn Lease and Cactus Lease reference the patented mining claim name and the mineral survey number.[7] With the number of claims involved, it is not surprising that certain scrivener’s errors appear or persist in the chain of title. For example, some of the claim names are misspelled, and there are occasional errors in reciting mineral survey numbers. Additionally, the Horn Lease and Cactus Lease reference the general location of particular claims according to the public land survey (PLS) system. In some cases, there are errors in identifying the general PLS location, which frustrates to some extent the intended notice of interest. These errors are likely harmless and likely do not invalidate the associated rights. Nevertheless, the Company should work with Horn Silver to record a second amendment to each of the Horn Lease and the Cactus Lease to correct the scrivener’s and description errors.

d. WUCC Lease and Subsidiary Instruments (affecting the Cactus Patented Claims)

The Cactus Patented Claims were subject to July 13, 1998 Mineral Lease Agreement between Horn Silver and Sepa Resources, Inc., which lease was amended five times, assigned to Western Utah Copper Company (“ WUCC ”), and then amended and restated by a Mineral Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement between Horn Silver and WUCC, with an effective date of December 19, 2002 (the July 13, 1998 Lease and its various iterations, including the December 19, 2002 lease-option agreement, are referred to herein as the “ WUCC Lease ”). WUCC assigned its leasehold interest under the WUCC Lease to CS Mining, LLC (“ CS Mining ”) on October 31, 2011, pursuant to a bankruptcy order and sale. A Notice of Lease Termination was recorded pertaining to the WUCC Lease on March 22, 2017 at Beaver County Entry No. 260516, reciting that the WUCC Lease terminated on July 15, 2015.

During the life of the WUCC Lease, CS Mining and its predecessors encumbered their leasehold interest in the Cactus Patented Claims. Specifically, in assigning its leasehold interest to WUCC, Sepa Resources, Inc. reserved to itself and granted to Breccia Development, Inc. a net profits interest the amounts of which are not specified in the public record. CS Mining also granted to David J. Richards, LLC, a security interest in CS Mining’s interests under the WUCC Lease. On June, 2, 2016, about a year after the WUCC Lease was terminated, CS Mining was

made subject to a U.S. bankruptcy proceeding. There is no indication in CS Mining’s bankruptcy filings that they claim any continued interest in the Cactus Patented Claims under the WUCC Lease or otherwise.

Based on our analysis of the Notice of Lease Termination and other unrecorded documentation provided by the Company, it appears that the WUCC Lease has been validly terminated such that CS Mining has no further right, title, or interest in the Cactus Patented Claims. Additionally, all interests create by, through, or under CS Mining or its predecessors, including the net profits interests and security interests listed above, would be of no effect upon termination of the underlying WUCC Lease. Ultimately, there does not appear to be any remaining encumbrance to the Cactus Patented Claims by virtue of the WUCC Lease.

e. King Bird Claim (affecting 1 of 111 Horn Patented Claims)

The King Bird mining claim, which is covered by the Horn Lease, is apparently also covered by a February 1, 1997 Mining Lease between Horn Silver and Dotson Exploration Company, which lease was later assigned to CS Mining. Nevertheless, because the King Bird claim is well outside the Frisco Project area, the impact of the conflicting mineral lease is likely of little consequence for purposes of the Frisco Project.

f. Fraction Claim (affecting 1 of 111 Horn Patented Claims)

The Fraction Claim (also known as Elinore Fraction and Fraction Elinore), which is part of the Horn Lease, is located in the heart of the Cactus Patented Claims. To the extent that Horn Silver and Volantis subsequently amend the Horn Lease and the Cactus Lease, the Fraction Claim should be removed from the Horn Lease and added to the Cactus Lease. Because Volantis is the lessee under both leases, this miscategorization of the Fraction Claim will not likely have any impact on the Company’s exploration related to the Frisco Project.

g. Anchor No. 2 Claim (affecting 1 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

The Cactus Lease purports to cover the entirety of the Anchor No. 2 patented mining claim. But Horn Silver’s vesting deeds and property tax records indicate that Horn Silver’s ownership extends only to the west half of that claim. We have found no documentation to describe exactly how the claim was subdivided. Nevertheless, this claim is the easternmost claim covered by the Cactus Lease, and the Company has indicated that the claim is not within a geologically critical area of the Frisco Project. To the extent that any exploration activity is planned on the Anchor No. 2 Claim, additional research will be necessary to determine the extent of Horn Silver’s, and by extension, Company’s rights.

h. Undivided Partial Ownership (affecting 7 of 111 Horn Patented Claims)

The Horn Lease specifies that Horn Silver holds an undivided 50% interest in the

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 117

Massachusetts, Quartzite, Quartzite No. 2, Granite, Oil City, Vorheas, and Hedges Fraction patented mining claims. The vesting deeds and property tax records indicate that Horn Silver holds a 49.5% interest in these claims. For purposes of exploration work, Utah law provides that a partial owner has full rights to access and conduct exploration activity without consent of the other partial owner. To avoid ownership disputes, however, best practice would be to secure a leasehold or an option over the remaining portion of these claims.

i. Gadfly Claim (affecting 1 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

The Cactus Lease specifies that Horn Silver owns 100% of a portion of the Gadfly Claim. We have no documentation that describes exactly what portion of the claim is owned by Horn Silver and covered by the Cactus Lease. Nevertheless, this claim is one of the northernmost claims covered by the Cactus Lease. To the extent that any exploration activity is planned on the Gadfly Claim, additional research will be necessary to determine the extent of Horn Silver’s, and by extension, Company’s rights to this particular claim.

j. Tunnell Site (affecting approximately 22 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

On September 1, 2014, Paul Clint filed tunnel site UMC 423342, purporting to grant rights in an area covered by Cactus Patented Claims. Tunnel sites were largely an exploration tool historically, where a person could commence a tunnel and would have preemptive rights to discover and then locate mining claims along the course of the tunnel. This type of exploration function is now largely taken by core drilling. For many reasons, this particular tunnel site is almost certainly void. First, the location monument is on a patented mining claim, which likely voids any rights under that location. Second, a tunnel site cannot grant any rights to enter or obtain rights in private land, and virtually all of the area that could potentially be reached by the tunnel is private land owned by Horn Silver. Third, tunnel sites provide rights to unknown veins or lodes discovered by virtue of diligent tunneling, but the face of the notice of location indicates that “This claim is located upon a valuable deposit, bearing gold and other metals.” Accordingly, Mr. Clint cannot claim that any veins or lodes are “unknown.” Fourth, failure to work a tunnel site for any six month period forfeits any priority rights to veins or lodes later discovered. The tunnel site itself is not forfeited, but the tunnel essentially becomes useless because mineral extraction would require a mining claim. Accordingly, it is highly unlikely that the tunnel site has any validity.

k. Midvale Placer Claim (affecting 1 of 120 Cactus Patented Claims)

The Midvale Placer claim, which is covered by the Cactus Lease, was patented on June 2, 1904. A placer claim, once patented, includes “all valuable mineral and other deposits within the boundaries thereof.” 30 U.S.C. section 37. Thus, just like the other portions of the Fee Property, the Midvale Placer Claim generally includes the entire fee simple estate, both surface and mineral. There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this general rule. First, lode mining

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

118 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

claims include “extralateral rights” that allow the claimant to pursue underground a vein that has its apex within the claim beyond the edge of the mining claim. Second, a placer claim patent excludes any lodes known prior to the patent request. Accordingly, if a person could show by clear and convincing evidence that on or before September 29, 1902, Royal Copper Mining Co. (the original claimant) knew of, or could have discovered by reasonable inspection, that there were valuable lode deposits within the boundary of the placer claim, then those lode deposits plus 25 feet on each side would be deemed excluded from the placer patent.

Nevertheless, because the operative date is in 1902, there are no live witnesses that could testify of what was known at that time. Furthermore, there is a strong presumption that no lodes were known at the time of patent. Nevertheless, if the lodes within the claim are obvious, there is some risk that such lodes are still owned by the federal government. We view this risk as very minimal.

2. Unpatented Claims

a. Claim Staking Requirements (affects the Unpatented Claims)

To locate a lode mining claim in Utah, the locator must, upon discovery of a valuable mineral, erect a monument at the place of discovery (known as a location monument) and post a written notice of location thereon. The locator must also distinctly mark the boundaries of the claim on the ground. A certificate of location and a map showing the claim boundaries must be recorded with the relevant County Recorder within 30 days after the date of location of the claim. A copy of the location certificate and a map showing the claim boundaries must also be filed with the relevant state BLM office within 90 days after the date of location.

We have confirmed that the original location certificates for the Unpatented Claims were recorded and filed within these deadlines. We have no knowledge, however, as to the proper completion of the physical acts of claim staking, as such matters are not verifiable from the public records and we have not made a physical inspection of the Tenements.

b. Area of Interest Obligations (affects the Unpatented Claims)

All of the Unpatented Claims are subject to the area of interest provision of the Horn Lease and the Cactus Lease. As discussed above, notice has been filed in the office of the Beaver County Recorder identifying with lease applies to each of the Unpatented Claims.

c. CT 31 Claim (affects 1 of 94 Cactus Unpatented Claims)

The location monument for claim CT 31 is in Lot 10 of Section 2, Township 27 South, Range 13 West, SLB&M. Title to lot 10 was acknowledged on February 12, 2015 by instrument UTU-88923 in the State of Utah, School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. Because the discovery must occur on federal land open to mineral location, this claim is likely void.

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 119

Nevertheless, the federally-owned land sought to be covered by this claim is wholly within the Fee Property, which likely limits access to this property. Further, Company has indicated that it is in the process of filing a corrected mining claim to cover this property.

d. Claim Conflicts

i. Known Conflicts

Claim conflicts around the edges of a property are quite common and such perimeter conflicts might exist here. Many of the unpatented claims overlap and conflict with other unpatented and patented claims. In general, such overlaps are both permissible and common, but only one of the conflicting claims (the senior valid claim) can control the ground within the conflict area. We have not endeavored to determine, in the case of such claim conflicts, which claims control the conflict areas, as all of the unpatented claims are owned Volantis. Such “controlled” conflicts, however, may need to be considered by the Company relative to any production from those claims burdened by any production royalties so that the proper (senior) owner of the conflict area is identified and paid.

The geologic significance, if any, of any conflict areas described above is outside the scope of the title records we examined, and thus we have no knowledge regarding that subject. But we have been advised by Company that any conflicts around the perimeter of the Tenements would be immaterial from a geologic standpoint, and the Frisco Project boundary has been adjusted to exclude such third-party conflict areas.

With respect to any overlaps of an Unpatented Claim onto privately owned fee property, the claim owner, of course, acquires no interest in the private land, but does appropriate all public land within the claim boundaries. ii. Potential, Unknown and Prior Conflicts

As noted above, mining claimants have 90 days within which to file their claims with the BLM. Newly located claims, therefore, might not show up in the BLM records for 90 days after location. Given the 90-day filing window, there is no way to determine with certainty the existence of newly located conflicting claims without a careful examination of the ground for rival location notices, which we have not done. It is therefore possible that conflicts could exist on the ground that are not disclosed by the records examined.

We have not attempted to determine the boundaries of or possible conflicts associated with unpatented claims that may have existed at the time of location of the Unpatented Claims but which have since been terminated. Even though such claims no longer exist, such prior existing conflicts could affect the validity of the Unpatented Claims because of the possibility that a location monument for a Subject Claim could have been located atop a then-valid senior unpatented claim.

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

120 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

The BLM geographic claim index describes the location of claims only by quartersection. The index may contain inaccuracies and the filed materials upon which the indexing is based may be inaccurate. Likewise, the individual claim maps filed by the locators may contain inaccuracies. Thus, the position of the Unpatented Claims and of any other claims in the area with respect to the Unpatented Claims cannot be determined with exactitude. A field examination might reveal that there are conflicting rights by reason of the presence of conflicting claims not identified in the title information examined.

In addition, the actual placement of location and corner monuments on the ground controls over any contradictory written descriptions. We cannot and do not know where the controlling claim corners and location monuments physically lie for the Unpatented Claims (or any other claims), nor do we know the degree of accuracy used in staking the Unpatented Claims (or any other claims), so as to be able to conclusively identify all possible conflicts.

iii. Pedis Possessio

Under the Mining Law, a claimant has limited rights of possession before discovery, as discussed below. Under this doctrine, the mining claimant must maintain actual occupancy of the claim and diligent exploration work. See Union Oil Co. v. Smith , 249 U.S. 337 (1919). Where a claimant has satisfied the requirements to establish pedis possessio rights, the claimant has remedies under state law such as injunction, ejectment, quiet title, or other relief to establish the priority of claim. We understand that Volantis has conducted exploration work, but we cannot determine based on the information reviewed that pedis possessio rights have attached to provide priority against any subsequent claims staked. Nevertheless, the records reviewed do not identify any such third-party claims filed after the Unpatented Claims.

e. Location Monuments and Claim Validity (affects the Unpatented Claims)

The corner monuments and boundaries of an unpatented mining claim may extend onto other unpatented mining claims (as noted above) or even onto private land without invalidating the claim. However, the location monument (which designates the point of discovery and on which the location notice is posted) must be placed on unappropriated federal land. If the discovery site (location monument) is on private land or on federal land that is already appropriated by the existence of a valid unpatented mining claim, then the entire subject claim is void ab initio .

Consequently, the position of the location monument is critical to the validity of a claim. We have reviewed the location notices, maps, and publicly available maps, and no obvious location monument problems were observed. If any such problems are later discovered from a more thorough analysis or actual field survey (i.e. if a location monument is found to have been situated on private land or on a preexisting valid claim), then the subsequent claim should be considered as potentially void and should be relocated (not amended), because a void claim

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 121

cannot be amended.

f. Validity of Bisected Unpatented Mining Claims (affects 3 of the 94 Cactus Unpatented Claims)

The law is clear that an unpatented placer claim must consist of a contiguous tract of land, and that the portion of a divided placer claim not containing the discovery point is void. The entire bisected claim is not considered void by the BLM; rather, “when BLM is apprised of such a situation, the correct procedure is to notify the claimant of the problem and offer the claimant the opportunity to correctly identify that part of the claim which contains the discovery point and, should the claimant so desire and the land remain open to location, to relocate, as separate claims, the remaining noncontiguous parcels.”

It appears that a contrary rule now applies to lode claims. Initially, the courts held that divided lode claims, like placers, were void as to that part of the claim not containing the point of discovery and location monument. At least one subsequent case, however, has held that a divided lode claim is still valid, expressly overruling prior precedent. Raymond E. Johnson , 57 Int. Dec. 63 (1939), held that an unpatented lode claim divided by a patented placer claim is valid even as to the portion of the claim not containing a discovery, and that the lode claimant is entitled to the full extent of his claim except for the part overlying the patented placer claim. We have found no other subsequent case reaching the same result, but neither have I found any subsequent case reaching a contrary result. To our knowledge, the Johnson case is not cited as precedent in any subsequent decisions.

The Johnson case, therefore, provides authority that bisection caused by a patented placer claim does not invalidate either piece of an overlying unpatented lode claim. We have not been able to find a similar holding in the case of bisection by a patented lode claim. The federal mining laws, however, expressly provide that one lode or vein may intersect another lode or vein, and that the junior or overstaking claimant has a right-of-way through the senior claim, while the senior claimant is entitled to all ore within the area of intersection. This statute supports the principle that a lode claim may be bisected by another lode claim (even a patented claim). In addition, one of the most respected mining law treatises also provides support, stating: “It was formerly held that if a lode claim is intersected by a prior lode location, both parts of such intersected claim could not be retained. But under the recent decisions of the department we think the opposite conclusion would be reached.” Ultimately, although some of the Unpatented Claims are bisected (or in at least one case, trisected) by the Fee Property, it is very likely that a court would conclude that each portion of the claim is nevertheless valid.

g. BLM Mining Claim Maintenance Fees (affects the Unpatented Claims)

Federal law requires the payment of annual maintenance fees to the BLM of $155 (currently) per mining claim. The payment must be received on or before September 1 of each

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

122 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

year. Failure to timely pay the required fees by the annual deadline results in automatic termination of the mining claims by operation of law, so strict and timely compliance with the federal filing requirement is essential. The maintenance fee payment is made prospectively for the assessment year beginning on that September 1.

BLM records show all of the Unpatented Claims in good standing with respect to annual filing and payment requirements. The next annual deadline for payment of BLM maintenance fees is September 1, 2017. Volantis is responsible for this critical task with respect to the Unpatented Claims.

h. County Maintenance Filings (affects the Unpatented Claims)

A similar annual county recording requirement applies under Utah law. An affidavit confirming the owner’s intent to maintain the Unpatented Claims is to be recorded each year in Beaver County. Volantis is responsible for this task with respect to the Unpatented Claims. Under Utah law, the annual county filing is made retroactively for the assessment year ending on September 1 (in contrast to the BLM’s prospective filing requirement), and is due within 30 days after the end of the period. But unlike the federal filing requirement, the Utah statute imposes no penalty for failing to record an annual affidavit except loss of prima facie evidence that the owner intended to maintain the claims (which evidence is unneeded given the documented payment of the annual BLM maintenance fees), and thus omitted annual county filings, even if they existed, would likely not pose a fatal title defect.

i. Unpatented Claim Validity (affects the Unpatented Claims)

Under federal law, the validity (as opposed to the ownership) of an unpatented mining claim is contingent upon the existence of a “discovery” of “valuable minerals” therein. These are terms and requirements that have been interpreted and applied in hundreds of cases over the years, but in short the claim must contain demonstrable mineralization valuable enough that a reasonably prudent operator would and could mine and sell the ore at a reasonable profit. The federal government is free at any time to challenge the Unpatented Claims on the basis of no discovery of a valuable mineral. Likewise, a rival locator could challenge the existence of a claimant’s discovery. We have no way of knowing from the title information examined whether or not the required discovery exists on any of the Unpatented Claims. Claim validity has no direct bearing on claim ownership, but if a claim is invalid then there is no property to be owned.

j. Placer vs. Lode Deposits (affects the Unpatented Claims)

Likewise, it is critical to the validity of an unpatented mining claim that the type of claim properly corresponds to the type of deposit. Lode claims must be used for lode-type deposits and placer claims must be used for placer-type deposits. A lode claim covering a placer deposit is invalid, and a placer claim staked for a lode or vein is invalid. Whether the deposit is lode or placer is a question of fact that depends on many factors, most of them geologic in nature. The

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 123

Unpatented Claims consist of exclusively lode claims. It is assumed that the deposits for which the Unpatented Claims have been located properly support the type of claim used to cover those deposits, but we have no way of confirming that assumption from the title records examined.

k. Co-Existing Nonlocatable Minerals (affects the Unpatented Claims)

For your information, oil and gas, coal, certain other hydrocarbon and fertilizer minerals, geothermal resources, and common varieties of sand, gravel and stone that might exist within the boundaries of the Unpatented Claims are not subject to appropriation under the mining laws and have not been appropriated by location of the Unpatented Claims. These minerals and resources, if they exist in the Unpatented Claims, are retained by the United States and are subject to disposition under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, and the Materials Act of 1947.

There may exist within the Unpatented Claims, now or at some time in the future, leases or authorizations granted by the United States for the development of such retained minerals, notwithstanding the existence of the Unpatented Claims. Federal multiple mineral development regulations exist to govern any situations where a federal mining claimant and a federal mineral lessee might both wish to develop the same land.

l. Conflicting Surface Uses (affects the Unpatented Claims)

Likewise, the United States retains the right to allow others to use the surface resources (such as grazing, range improvements, roads, timber harvesting, etc.) within the Unpatented Claims, provided such uses do not materially interfere with exploration or mining operations on the Unpatented Claims. At present, there are a number of such surface use grants in existence for roads, utility lines, fence lines and a wind energy project. In addition, the government could grant additional surface authorizations in the future notwithstanding the existence of the Unpatented Claims.

m. Wilderness Study Areas

The Unpatented Claims do not conflict with any designated Wilderness Areas or Wilderness Study Areas, nor are there any such areas located in the immediate vicinity of the Tenements.

3. Uncontrolled Land within the Frisco Project Boundary

Within the Cactus Patented Claims, there are two parcels of land totaling 7.35 acres (2.97 hectares) that are owned by the State of Utah and administered by the School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (SITLA), but which are entirely surrounded by the Cactus Patented Claims. Effective February 1, 2013, SITLA leased all metalliferous minerals for these parcels to CS Mining. The SITLA lease has a primary term of 10 years, and the lease extends so long as

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

124 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

leased substances are being produced in paying quantities. Because these parcels are surrounded by private land owned by Horn Silver, and because CS Mining no longer holds any leasehold interest in the Cactus Patented Claims, there are significant legal impediments to CS Mining’s access to these islands. Nevertheless, Company has no rights to access or conduct activities on these SITLA parcels, and these parcels are not part of the Tenements.

4. Litigation

The names of all owners and lessees of the Tenements were searched for any recorded judgments and for any pending litigation in the district court for Beaver County, in the federal district court for the District of Utah, and in the federal bankruptcy court for the District of Utah. No judgments or pending actions relevant to the Tenements were found.

5. Permitting and Land Use Restrictions

This report does not address the necessity or existence of any federal, state or local permits or approvals to conduct exploration or mining operations on the Tenements. We have not examined any relevant BLM land use plan to determine whether any restrictions exist as to the conduct of mining and mining-related activities on the Tenements. The Tenements are located in the Multiple Use District (MU-20) of unincorporated Beaver County. This zoning district allows the conditional use of “[d]rilling for any energy related products”; and “[m]ines, quarries, gravel pits and crushers.” A conditional use permit is likely required before significant, surface-disturbing exploration activity, and will certainly be required before extractive activity commences.

6. Environmental

We have not attempted to determine whether the Tenements are in compliance with applicable environmental laws or whether there are any environmental liabilities or existing contamination associated with the Tenements. Where the Frisco Project covers numerous historic mines, there is significant potential for mining-related contamination. To the extent that such contamination exists and to the extent that clean-up is required, Volantis could be subject to liability for some clean-up costs.

Furthermore, use of the Fee Property and Unpatented Claims are subject to federal and state environmental laws, and title to the Tenements does not obviate application of those laws. As a nonexhaustive list, environmental considerations include the following: exploration and mining permit requirements from the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining (for all Tenements) and BLM (for Unpatented Claims), the requirement of posting appropriate reclamation bonds, compliance with air quality regulations, compliance with water quality regulations, and compliance with the Endangered Species Act.

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 125

7. Rights of Indigenous Peoples

None of the Tenements are located within an Indian Reservation or reserve. Accordingly, none of the Tenements within the Frisco Project are known to be native, cultural heritage lands. There are state and federal laws that protect ancient artifacts and Native American remains. While discovery of such artifacts or remains triggers reporting requirements together with time for officials to protect and remove such artifacts and remains, such discoveries do not result in transfer of title and do not result in prohibition of exploration or extraction activities. Within the Frisco Project, near the Oil City claim is a peak named Indian Grave Peak. The peak was so named based on discovery of Native American graves on the slopes of the peak. John W. Van Cott, Utah Place Names: A Comprehensive Guide to the Origins of Geographic Names l99 (1990). Accordingly, discovery of artifacts and remains during exploration and extraction activities is likely, and care should be taken to comply with legal reporting and damageavoidance obligations required by law. Other than this historical and map-based research, we have not done any anthropological, historical, or ethnographic research to establish the likelihood of discovering artifacts or remains.

8. Access

We have not attempted to verify the existence of ingress and egress rights to and from the Tenements; however, we have seen nothing to indicate the absence of such rights, and, indeed, a public highway intersects the south end of the tenements.

9. Water Rights

We have not ascertained the existence, extent, or ownership of any water rights relating to the Tenements, or the water rights that would be required for any operations on the Tenements.

10. Extralateral Rights

Federal mining law provides that the locator of a valid lode mining claim acquires the right to “all veins, lodes, and ledges throughout their entire depth, the top or apex of which lies inside of such surface lines extended downward vertically, although such veins, lodes, or ledges may so far depart from a perpendicular in their course downward as to extend outside the vertical sidelines of such surface locations.” 30 U.S.C. § 26. We have no information as to whether these extralateral rights (as they are called) attaching to any other lode claim might extend downward under the vertical boundaries of the Tenements, or as to whether any such extralateral rights that might attach to the Tenements extend outside of their vertical boundaries into adjoining lands.

11. Taxes

In Utah, no ad valorem property taxes are assessed on unpatented mining claims,

Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, A Professional Corporation www.parrbrown.com

126 ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus

although any improvements on unpatented mining claims can be taxed. Having not inspected the Tenements, we are unaware of whether there are any taxable improvements on it. We have examined property taxes assessed against the Fee Property from 2005 through 2016, and all assessed taxes have reportedly been paid. This report is subject to any existing but unrecorded liens existing in governmental entities for the nonpayment of any property or other tax relating to the Tenements.

12. Improvements, Fixtures and Personal Property

This report does not address ownership of any improvements, structures, fixtures, equipment or other items on or within the Tenements that may be characterized as personal property.

13. Other Limitations

a. General. This report is based solely on our examination of the title information specifically described above and is subject to all of the comments, qualifications and exceptions contained herein. In addition, this report is subject to: the terms and conditions of any agreement affecting the Tenements that is not of record; any fact not of record that would affect the validity or ownership of the Tenements; mechanic’s liens, judgment liens or other statutory liens (including liens for taxes) affecting the Tenements that are not of record; any conflicting mining claims located, filed or recorded subsequent to the effective date of this report; and rights arising out of federal bankruptcy laws. This report is subject to the completeness and accuracy of the title information examined, including but not limited to the Dean Report, and is subject to the actual performance of the acts of location and discovery required to create and validate the Unpatented Claims.

b. Authority, Genuineness of Documents, Etc. We have assumed that all signatures and documents examined are authentic and valid. We have also assumed that any entities in the chain of title were in good standing at the time of execution and that all such executions were properly authorized. We have not examined the form or content of notary acknowledgments of recorded documents, and have assumed all acknowledgements to be proper and valid.

c. No On-Site Inspection. We have made no on-site inspection of the Tenements and have reached no conclusions regarding the adequacy of claim monuments, possible gaps between claims, recent conflicting locations, third parties who may be in adverse possession, and the like. This report is subject to all facts that would be disclosed by an on-site inspection and an accurate survey of the Unpatented Claims and the Fee Property, including but not limited to claim boundaries, monuments and conflicts; any interest that may have accrued or may now be accruing as a result of the adverse possession of the Tenements by any person; and easements or rights-of-way not of record.

  • These claims have an undivided portion owned by Horn Silver Mines Inc., with the remainder owned by a third party. Accordingly, Volantis’s leasehold interest covers only that portion owned by Horn Silver Mines Inc.

  • ** These claims are subject to a March 1, 2010 lease from Horn Silver Mines Inc. to Great American Resources, LLC.

  • Note: The listed township and ranges are all according to the Salt Lake Base & Meridian. The section numbers are listed for convenience in locating a particular claim and do not indicate that the entirety of a particular claim lies within the listed section or sections. All of the claims are located in the Pruess or San Francisco Mining Districts except for the King Bird Claim, which is located in the Beaver Lake Mining District. Most of the mining claims were located and surveyed before the area was surveyed according to the public land survey system. Thus, a formal, updated survey would be necessary to precisely locate the claims within the public land survey system.

The independence of each Director has been determined in taking into account the relevant factors suggested in The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council (Recommendations) (Independence Factors).

Heinen (a) he is a substantial security holder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise
associated with, a substantial security holder of the Company; and
(b) has been a director of the Company for such a period that his or her independence
may have been compromised.
However, the Company has determined that any risks to the Company and its
shareholders associated with Mr Heinen’s lack of independence in the areas
identified can be mitigated with appropriate management in accordance with the
Company’s conflicts of interest procedure. Moreover, the Company considers that
Mr Heinen’s specific expertise is a key factor for the future success of the Company,
and this outweighs any risk that may be perceived to be associated with his lack of
independence in accordance with the Independence Factors.

12.2 Rights attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares under the Constitution. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, which is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.alderanresources.com.au and at the office of the Company during normal business hours. A copy of the Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary, Brett Tucker (+61 (8) 9482 0560).

(b) Voting

(j) Directors

The Company’s Constitution states that the minimum number of Directors is three.

(k) Powers of the Board

The Directors have power to manage the business of the Company and may exercise that power to the exclusion of the members, except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the ASX Listing Rules or the Company’s Constitution.

12.3 Long Term Incentive Plan

The Directors have adopted a long term incentive plan (LTIP) to enable eligible persons to be granted Options and/or Performance Rights (Awards), the principle terms of which are summarised below:

  • (a) (Eligibility) The Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite an “Eligible Person” to participate in the LTIP. An ”Eligible Person” includes a director, senior executive, contractor, consultant or employee of the Company.

  • (b) (Nature of Awards) Each Option or Performance Right entitles the participant holding the Option or Performance Right, to subscribe for, or be transferred, one Share. Any Share acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of acquisition.

ALDERAN RESOURCES | Prospectus 149

  • (c) (Vesting) Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions (Conditions). These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Letter to Eligible Persons. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then he Board may determine that:

  • (i) all or a percentage of unvested Options will vest and become exercisable;

  • (ii) all or a percentage of Performance Rights will be automatically exercised; and

  • (iii) any Shares issued or transferred to a participant under the LTIP that have restrictions (on their disposal, the granting of any security interests in or over, or otherwise on dealing with), will be free from any restrictions on disposal.

  • (d) (Exercise Period) The period during which a vested Award may be exercised will commence when all Conditions have been satisfied, waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the rules of the LTIP and the Company has issued a Vesting Notification to the participant, and ends on the Expiry Date (as defined below).

  • (e) (Disposal restrictions) Awards granted under the LTIP may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a participant, other than to a nominated party (such as an immediate family member, trustee of a trust or company) in accordance with the LTIP, unless:

  • (f) (Lapse): Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:

  • (i) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of a relevant person;

  • (ii) the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested Options of the relevant person will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board a relevant person has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;

  • (iii) if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;

  • (iv) if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer (Expiry Date); or

  • (v) the Expiry Date.

Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and is not a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the LTIP), and the Awards have vested, they will remain exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the LTIP rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the participant ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those participant’s Awards will be deemed to have vested and exercisable.

Where a participant becomes a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the LTIP), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that participant.

  • (i) the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or

  • (i) such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a participant to the participant’s legal personal representative.

  • (i) There is no right to change the Exercise Price of an Option nor the number of Shares over which the Option can be exercised, if the Company completes a pro rata issue of Shares which is not a bonus issue.

  • (j) If there is a bonus issue of Shares, the number of Shares over which an Option can be exercised increases by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (k) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the expiry date, all rights of the Option holder will be varied in accordance with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
 Sampling of core was generally of 5 feet or
10 feet over mineralised intervals in the historic
drilling, no duplicates, standards or blanks are
known.
 Special intervals were used for minor core
sections and composite samples.
 Sample weight of historic sampling is
unknown.
 Alderan resampling of Amex exploration inc
(“Amex”) drillholes 520-4 Assays completed at
ALS Labs Reno Nevada - no standards/blanks
- 9 ft composite sample interval of section 575ft
- 875ft (only ⅓ of original half core).
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so,
by what method, etc).
 Drilling: Anaconda - diamond; Rosario -
surface (unspecified hammer); Rosario -
underground (diamond).
 Historic drilling includes diamond core,
reverse circulation, hammer bit and rotary air
blasting.
 For some of the historic drilling, the drill type
could not be determined, but was most-likely
reverse circulation or open hammer.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether

preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
 Core recovery rate not recorded historically.
 Observations by Alderan of Amex Drillholes
520-1 - 520-4 showed very good core recovery
- predominantly >90% and up to 100%.

sample recovery historically.
 Relationship between sample recovery and
grade cannot be determined.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
_channel, etc) photography. _
 Some historic drill holes have geological
logs attached together with their sample
intervals. Individual samples are not specially
described geologically.
 Geotechnical logging is absent.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
 Historic core preparation is unknown.

duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
 Nature, quality and appropriateness of
assaying and laboratory procedures are
unknown for historic sampling.
 Laboratory results in the database include of
ALS Chemex, Vangeochem Lab Ltd., American
Assay Laboratories Inc., SGS, Monitor

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
 Verification of significant intersections by
independent or alternative company personnel
is unknown for historic drilling - except for a re-
evaluation of drill holes 520-1 through to 520-4
by Alderan Resources.
 Historic data cannot be used for mineral
resource estimation due to the varying sources
of data, inability to field check control samples
and physically examine exposures.
 Original assay sheets as received from the
designated laboratory are available for some of
the historic drilling, but not for all, hence not all
data is primary.
 Any sampling and assay data within the
Alderan Resources database is backed by a
electronic pdf-file of the information.
 Assay data has been kept in its original form
for the very most part.
 Assayresults of Au and Agthat had been

respective column within the database and also
entered with a conversion into ppm in a
separate column (conversion: 1% = 10,000
ppm).
 Where assay results were given in ppb, the
ppb values were entered into its appropriate
column within the data and in addition,

surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
 The accuracy of historic drill hole location is
variable.
 Some coordinate information was taken from
historic reports and drill logs, while others were
located by georeferencing historic maps of
variable quality. The locations were refined
using aerial imagery and field verification
carried out by Alderan Resources.
 Trenches were located mainly using aerial
imagery and GPS.
 Mine workings were located in the field using
a handheld GPS, by aerial imagery and using
Utah state’s mine inventory database - a
minority of mine workings were located using
geo-referenced historic maps.
 All known plans and sections were re-
georeferenced to WGS84 UTMz12
(metric). This was conducted using numerous
known baseline coordinates - in particular
shafts with several different handheld GPS
receivers for East and North and lidar for
elevation. The surface expressions of
underground workings digitized from
georeferencing are within ~5m accuracy and
considered moderately to highly reliable.
 Grid systems are subordinate and usually
located using geo-referenced historic maps.

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
 As the detailed geological geometry of the
deposit is yet to be determined, sample bias is
unknown. However, given the steep drilling
angle and probably sub-vertical nature of the
mineralization it is likely.

the Competent Person should clearly explain
why this is the case.
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

A tabulation of material exploration
results are provided in table
attached above, taken from the
Independent Geologist’s Report
contained in the Prospectus.

Sampling uses weighted average
technique.

High cut offs were not used.

No metal equivalents were used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _

Detailed knowledge of the
mineralization geometry is not yet
known. Downhole lengths are
reported.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.

Maps, sections and tabulations of
material exploration results are
provided in the Independent
Geologist’s Report, contained in the
Prospectus.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

Details of other exploration results
are recorded in the Independent
Geologist’s Report, contained in the
Prospectus.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and

Franconia Minerals Corporation - 1999-2006
(“Franconia”)

A total of 136 horizontal and vertical
continuous rock chip samples were collected
from portions of the 650, 900 and 1000
levels and submitted to ALS Chemex
Laboratories (Sparks, Nevada) for 41-
element assay-grade analyses.

Composites were also taken.

53 selected, silica-rich samples were
assayed for gold.
Rock chip samples were collected following
standard industry practices and where
possible continuous samples (rock channel
samples) were collected .
Some photographs were taken along with
notes describing the general location, local
geology and mineralization.
Logging and sampling of the drill core
followed standard industry practices.
Core samples were taken on the basis of
geology, structural breaks and
mineralization, using the tops and bases of
visual alteration (oxidation) and/or
mineralization (down to 0.1 ft or 30 cm) and
occasionally geology, to determine the
sample interval.
Sampling was extended above and below
areas of mineralization.
Samples were generally taken in intervals
ranging from 2-5 ft (0.6-1.5 m) with some
sample intervals greater than 7 ft (2.1 m).

Core was cut and half-core taken.

All of the samples (drill core and chip/grab

located in Sparks, Nevada, USA.

Sample preparation protocol at ALS Chemex
is to dry and crush the entire sample to 70%
passing 10-mesh (2 mm). After crushing, the
sample was riffle split down to a
representative 250 grams for pulverization.
The samples were then pulverized in
chrome-steel ring mills to 85% passing 200
mesh (75 micron). As part of the routine
procedures, ALS Chemex uses barren wash
material between sample preparation
batches and, where necessary, between
highly mineralized samples. This cleaning
material is tested before use to ensure no
contaminants are present and results are
retained for reference. In addition, logs are
maintained for all sample preparation
activities.

Franconia

Re-established the Horn Silver Mine grid in
2002 with 100 foot-centres (NI 43-101).

Original mine grid was electronically
surveyed and re-established and excellent
control was gained by surveying off several
grid stakes that were located in the field and
tying into shafts and control points (NI 43-
101).

The 00N and 00E baselines were surveyed,
staked and tagged every 100 ft (30.5 m)
from 1000N to 600S and 1200W to 400E; all
other grid points were staked every 200 ft
(61 m) and located by Brunton compass and
measuring tape. (NI 43-101).

During the course of data conversion
Franconia geologists discovered an
elevation discrepancy between the surface
and underground maps and sections. It was
determined that the true elevations of the
mine workings are 90 ft (27.4 m) lower than
those reported on Kipps (1931) level and
section maps. (NI 43-101).

The accuracy of the location of the
underground stopes and workings was
questionable at the time and this needed to
be established in order to accurately
produce a 3D model. Earl Harrison (Western
Mine Development, Nevada) re-conditioned
the King David shaft, relocated and
resurveyed the surface mine grid and
surveyed the crosscut and 650 Level
workings. The Franconia survey results
show excellent correlation with the Kipps
(1931) and Metal Producers (1950s) level
maps and tie in, with some adjustment, to
the mine grid. Small discrepancies are due
to caving, ground shift or undocumented
excavation by Metal Producers (1950s).
Based on 650 Level results, further
surveying on lower levels was not required
and there is a high level of confidence in the
historic data. (NI 43-101).

No downhole surveys conducted on
Franconia drilling.

All known plans and sections were re-
georeferenced to WGS84 UTMz12
(metric). This was conducted using
numerous known baseline coordinates - in
particular shafts - from historic data and
checked prior to digitizing with several
different handheld GPS receivers with
accuracy <3m. The correlation and level of
error has typically been less than 1-5m. This
has resulted in a much greater confidence in
the spatial location in 3d of the majority of
underground Horn Mine workings.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
 Deposit types: high grade polymetallic
(zinc-lead-silver) manto, structurally
remobilized breccia mineralization (sulphide
or oxide)
 The Following extract is taken from
Franconia’s NI 43-101 regarding the style of
mineralization at Horn:
Numerous sulphide, oxide and secondary
minerals are found in the area including
sphalerite, galena, pyrite, bornite, tetrahedrite,
chalcopyrite, smithsonite, native sulphur,
chalcocite and hemimorphite. Three types of
oxidized ores are known in the Horn Silver
Mine (Godbe, 1982a): 1. Replacement of the
primary ore by hemimorphite and smithsonite
in parts of the main oxidized silver-lead
deposit; 2. Replacement of the limestone
footwall by hemimorphite and smithsonite in
the form of a 1-20 ft (0.3-6.1 m) thick crust
along the west side of the vein; and, 3. Low
grade lenticular and irregular replacement of
the footwall limestone in the form of
secondary pipes of Fe-rich smithsonite along
the intersection of steeply dipping faults.
Blakemore (1980) characterized 5 styles of
lead-zinc-silver mineralization that was
observed at the Horn Silver property or in the
area.
1.Breccia Replacement: considered
the most productive from the Horn
Silver Mine and is typified by filling
and replacement of limestone breccia
by mineralizing fluids within the Horn
Silver Fault, concentrated at its
intersection with a series of E-W fault
fissures (i.e., Reciprocity Fissure
Zone);
2.Breccia Pipes: described on one
occasion, occurring on the south part
of the Horn Silver orebody and
consisting of loose siliceous breccia
with fragments of limestone and dyke
rock, circular to oval in outline and
near-vertical; substantial amounts of
gold-silver-lead were mined from this
area;
3.Fissure Filling: appears to be the
least important to historic production,
and is characterized by highly
variable, siliceous lead-copper-zinc-
silver veins, confined to intersections

This is a Supplementary Prospectus intended to be read with the Prospectus dated 5 April 2017 issued by Alderan Resources Limited

of two fissures or “fissure-favourable”
bedding intersections;
4.Bedded Replacement: manto-style
zinc-lead-silver mineralization was
reported on several of the Horn Silver
Mine levels and in particular the 900
Level (Blickenstaff workings) from
which there was production;
Blakemore (1980) reported mantos in
outcrop, occurring in nearly flat lying
carbonates and consisting primarily of
lead sulphide and zinc sulphide in
excess of 20 ft (6.1 m) thick. These
surface deposits were most likely the
result of surface leaching and
enrichment processes and were likely
not true mantos; and,
5.Contact Skarn: occurs as skarn, at
or near the surface and at fissure
intersections, and is not considered a
major contributor to production.

Information

A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole
collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception
depth

hole length.
If the exclusion of this information
is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known,
its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down
_hole length, true width not known’). _
geometry is not yet known. Downhole
lengths are reported.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Maps, sections and tabulations of
material exploration results are provided
in the Independent Geologist’s Report,
contained in the Prospectus.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting
of Exploration Results.

Details of other exploration results are
recorded in the Independent Geologist’s
Report, contained in the Prospectus.
Other
substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Details of other exploration results are
recorded in the Independent Geologist’s
Report, contained in the Prospectus.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
