Pursuant to the Share Purchase Plan, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for up to \$15,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares) at an issue price of \$0.018 each, with three free attaching options exercisable at \$0.04 each, on or before 15 June 2020 (Free Attaching Options) for every two New Shares issued.
The Share Purchase Plan is capped at \$4,001,400 with the Company accepting valid applications on a first-come first-served basis.
Any New Shares and Free Attaching Options (Offer Securities) not subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan will form the Shortfall and will be offered under the Shortfall Offer, which forms a separate offer under the Prospectus. An individual, including an Eligible Shareholder, may apply for the Offer Securities under the Shortfall Offer provided they are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Shortfall Offer.
If, after the close of the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer, any Offer Securities have not been subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan or Shortfall Offer, the Directors reserve the right to place some or all of those Offer Securities within 3 months of the close of the Offers.

On 15 May 2017, Impact Minerals Limited announced its intention to raise up to \$4,001,400 by way of a share purchase plan to existing Shareholders (Share Purchase Plan) and the offer of the shortfall to the Share Purchase Plan (Shortfall Offer).
Pursuant to both the Share Purchase Plan and the Shortfall Offer, investors will be able to subscribe for new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares) at an issue price of \$0.018 each, with three free attaching options exercisable at \$0.04 each, on or before 15 June 2020 (Free Attaching Options) for every two New Shares issued.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Plan, existing Shareholders on the Company's register of Shareholders at Wednesday, 10 May 2017 are entitled to subscribe for up to \$15,000 of New Shares at \$0.018 each, with three Free Attaching Options for every two New Shares issued.
The Share Purchase Plan is capped at \$4,001,400 with the Company accepting valid applications on a first-come first-served basis.
Any New Shares and Free Attaching Options (Offer Securities) not subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan will form the Shortfall and will be offered under the Shortfall Offer, which forms a separate offer under this Prospectus. An individual, including an Eligible Shareholder, may apply for additional Offer Securities under the Shortfall Offer provided they are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Shortfall Offer.
If, after the close of the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer, any Offer Securities have not been subscribed for under the Share Purchase Plan or Shortfall Offer, the Directors reserve the right to place some or all of those Offer Securities within 3 months of the close of the Offers.
The issue of Offer Securities under the Share Purchase Plan, the Shortfall Offer and pursuant to the placement of any remaining Offer Securities, is conditional on shareholder approval at a general meeting to be held on or about Tuesday, 20 June 2017.
The funds raised by the Share Purchase Plan, Shortfall Offer and placement of any remaining Offer Securities will be used to fund a drill programme of up to 3,000 metres of reverse circulation and diamond drilling to test targets on the Silica Hill Prospect at the Company's 100% owned Commonwealth gold-silver-base metal project, for follow up work at the high grade Broken Hill copper-nickel-PGM project and Mulga Tank and for general working capital.

Amount at full subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Drill Programme at Commonwealth Gold Silver Base Metal Project |
\$1,100,000 | \$1,350,000 |
| Follow up work at Broken Hill Project | \$200,000 | \$650,000 |
| Follow up work at Mulga Tank | \$200,000 | \$600,000 |
| Costs of the Share Purchase Plan | \$58,100 | \$65,240 |
| Working capital | \$442,600 | \$1,336,160 |
| Total | \$2,000,700 | \$4,001,400 |
Note: the information in the above table is current as at the Prospectus Date. The use of funds may change depending on any intervening events or changes in the Company's circumstances. The Board reserves the right to change the way funds are used and applied.
On completion of the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the objectives stated in this Prospectus.
1.3 Company's exploration projects
COMMONWEALTH GOLD SILVER-BASE METAL PROJECT (100% IPT)
The Commonwealth Project comprises 1,000km2 of exploration licences located 100km north of Orange, NSW. The exploration project is focused on the Lachlan Fold Belt, host to the Cadia-Ridgeway mining centre (40 million ounces of gold and 12 million tonnes of copper).
Work by Impact at the Commonwealth prospect in 2014 outlined a maiden Inferred Resource (JORC 2012 Code) of 720,000 tonnes at 2.8 g/t gold and 48 g/t silver centred on historic underground workings at the Commonwealth "Main Shaft". Mineralisation extends over 400 metres strike length, up to 25 metres width and contains a high-grade core of massive sulphides.1
Current exploration is focused on immediate additions to existing resources including:
- (a) The depth projection of the massive sulphide lens at Main Shaft beyond a bonanza drill intersection of 7 metres at 6.3 g/t gold, 496 g/t silver, 7.2% zinc, 2.9% lead and 0.2% copper from 91 metres in CMIPT031, along with strike and depth extensions of the Inferred Resource envelope.2
- (b) A new discovery at the Silica Hill prospect (located 200 metres northeast of Main Shaft) where drill hole CMIPT046 intersected 41.3 metres at 2.0 g/t gold and 176 g/t silver from 61 metres.3
- (c) A new discovery at the Walls prospect (located 1,200 metres east of Commonwealth Main Shaft) where CMIPT027 intersected 20 metres at 0.5 g/t gold, 27 g/t silver and 1.1% zinc.4
BROKEN HILL Ni-Cu-PGE PROJECT (100% IPT)
The Broken Hill Project covers 517 square kilometres near Broken Hill, NSW. The project is prospective for both nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation associated with ultramafic rocks and zinc-lead-silver in "Broken Hill-style" deposits hosted mostly by metasedimentary rocks and amphibolite.
Impact has recently reported several significant high grade drill results from at least three prospects:
- (a) The Red Hill prospect features Impact drill hole RHD012, which recorded a bonanza drill intersection of 3.5 metres at 5 g/t platinum, 6 g/t gold, 144 g/t palladium, 2.9% nickel, 2.3% copper and 14.5 g/t silver in heavy matrix sulphide.5
- (b) The Platinum Springs prospect revealed high grade massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphides with drill hole PSD02 intersecting 2.75 metres at 3.5 g/t platinum, 7 g/t

palladium, 0.4 g/t gold, 2% copper, 1.9% nickel and 11.6 g/t silver from 55 metres down hole.6
(c) The Dora East prospect represents a new discovery of high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation with RHD018 intersecting 5.1 metres at 10% zinc, 0.8% lead, 40.4g/t silver from 148.4 metres in massive and disseminated sulphides. Note that Silver City Minerals Limited has a 20% free carried interest to a Decision to Mine in the silverlead-zinc rights on E7390 which contains Dora East.7
Impact's exploration results to date indicate the potential for a platinum mineralisation stretching over a 40km belt of mafic-ultramafic rocks within the richly-endowed Curnamona Craton. The mafic intrusions are dated circa 820 Ma and appear coeval with a major global nickel-mineralising event which included the formation of the world-class Jinchuan nickelcopper deposit in China.
Numerous surface gossans have produced some of the highest platinum and palladium grades in Australia which the Company intends to test with more drilling in 2017.
MULGA TANK Ni-Cu-PGE PROJECT (100% IPT)
The Mulga Tank project covers about 420km2 of the Minigwal greenstone belt located 200km east of Kalgoorlie, WA.
Impact has identified three styles of nickel sulphide mineralisation within the Mulga Tank Dunite and surrounding rocks:
- (a) High grade veins in the basal adcumulate layer of the Mulga Tank Dunite with drill results of: 0.25m at 3.8% nickel, 0.7% copper and 0.7g/t PGE and 0.3m at 0.7% nickel.
- (b) High grade nickel sulphide in multiple komatiites within a flow channel featuring drill results of: 0.75m at 0.85% nickel, 0.35% copper and 0.28g/t PGE (Pt+Pd+Au).
- (c) Disseminated nickel in the Mulga Tank Dunite with drill results of 115m at 0.3% nickel, 21m at 0.4% nickel and 59m at 0.3% nickel.8
The style of mineralisation and the nature of the ultramafic rocks are similar to those that host the significant nickel deposits elsewhere in the Yilgarn Craton, for example, Perseverance (45Mt at 2% nickel), Rocky's Reward (9.6Mt at 2.4% Ni) and Mt Keith (>2Mt contained nickel).
Exploration for nickel and gold is continuing with the completion of three major geophysical and geochemical surveys (airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covering most of the project area, an innovative combined ground and airborne electrical survey (HeliSAM) over the Panhandle and Mulga Tank Dunite prospects, and collection of 2,500 soil samples for geochemistry).
In the June Quarter of 2016, Impact was awarded a grant of \$150,000 as part of the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) for drilling at the Mulga Tank Project. The EIS is a co-funding initiative for exploration in under-explored areas of WA and awarded on a dollar-for-dollar basis for direct drilling costs. The program is designed to encourage innovative exploration and prioritised high quality, technically sound proposals that demonstrate new exploration concepts.

Where identified, information contained within this Explanatory Statement has been extracted from the Company's announcements to ASX listed in the footnotes.
The Competent Person responsible for the information contained within those reports is Dr Michael Jones, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Dr Jones has sufficient experience with the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code).
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
1.5 Key risks
The key risks of investing in the Company are set out below. These risks are not an exhaustive list. Further details of specific risks and general investment risks are set out in Section 5. These risks may adversely affect the Company's financial position, prospects and price of its securities.
(a) Exploration risks
The success of the Company depends on the delineation of economically mineable reserves and resources. Exploration of the Company's existing exploration tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the exploration tenements.
(b) Operational and technical risks
Mining and exploration development operations are vulnerable to a variety of operational and technical matters, and force majeure circumstances, including mechanical failure of plant and equipment and environmental and weather factors which prevent or impede land access. Such factors may prevent exploration and mining activities and/or lead to cost overruns.
(c) Environmental risks
The operations and activities of the Company are subject to environmental laws and regulations. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company intends to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
(d) Future capital requirements
The Company will most likely require further financing for its future business activities, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, undertaken at lower prices than the current market price or involve restrictive conditions which limit the Company's operations and business strategies.
No assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities and its ability to continue as a going concern.

| Subscription amount | Number of New Shares | Number of Free Attaching Options |
|---|---|---|

Where an Application would otherwise result in a fraction of a Share being issued, that fraction will be rounded up. Similarly, any fractions of a Free Attaching Option will be rounded up.
Application Forms may be submitted as paper copies or, for Applicants using BPAY® (available to Eligible Shareholders with respect to the Share Purchase Plan only), in electronic format as outlined below.
Applicants who wish to apply under an Offer are urged to lodge the relevant Application Form(s) as soon as possible. Applications under the Share Purchase Plan will be dealt with on a 'first-come, first-served' basis and either or both Offers may close early without prior notice.
If an Application Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying payment is for an incorrect amount, it may be treated by the Company as valid at its discretion. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat such an Application as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final. However, an Applicant will not be treated as having applied for more New Shares than is indicated by the amount of Application Money.
If the exact amount of required Application Moneys are not tendered with an Application, the Company reserves the right to either:
- (a) return the Application Form and/or Application Moneys received and not issue any New Shares to the Applicant; or
- (b) issue to the Applicant the maximum number of New Shares represented by the Application Moneys received and refund any excess amount to that Applicant by cheque as soon as possible, without interest.
Payments of Application Moneys must not be made in cash.
Eligible Shareholders that have not received their Prospectus and personalised Application Form(s), or require a replacement via post or email, should contact the Share Registry using the contact details set out in the Corporate Directory section above.
Brokerage or transfer/stamp duty is not payable in relation to the Offers.
The Company reserves the right to accept a lesser amount to the total number of Shares applied for by an Applicant on the Application Form, at the Company's complete discretion.
The Company reserves the right to refuse a completed Application Form if it has reason to believe that the Applicant has not received a Prospectus in paper or electronic form, or if it has reason to believe that the Prospectus or Application Form provided to the Applicant has been altered or tampered with in any way.
Payment by cheque or money order
Unless an Applicant pays using BPAY® as outlined below, an Application Form must be accompanied by a personal cheque or money order, payable in Australian dollars, for an amount equal to the number of New Shares for which the Applicant wishes to apply, multiplied by the Offer Price of those Shares.
Cheques or money orders must be made payable to "Impact Minerals Limited" and should be marked "Not Negotiable".
Completed Application Forms and accompanying cheques or money orders must be received by the Share Registry before 5.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date of the relevant Offer at the following address:

Applicants can only make payment using BPAY® with respect to the Share Purchase Plan, and if they have an account with an Australian financial institution that supports such transactions. BPAY® is also not available to any person who is not an existing Shareholder.
Applicants must ensure to use the specific 'Biller Code' and 'Customer Reference Number' on their individual Application Form. An Application may not be accepted if these details are incorrect. The 'Customer Reference Number' is used to identify each Applicant's holding.
Applicants with more than one holding of Shares may receive multiple 'Customer Reference Numbers'. Such Applicants can apply under one or more of their holdings, provided that they do not apply for more than \$15,000 worth of New Shares in total for all holdings.
Payments must be made in Australian dollars for an amount equal to the number of New Shares for which the Applicant wishes to apply, multiplied by the Offer Price.
An Application Form does not need to be submitted to the Company. However, by paying Application Moneys, the Applicant will be taken to have made the declarations on the Application Form.
BPAY® payments of Application Moneys must be received before 5.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date of the relevant Offer.
Applicants should take into account when making an Application that their individual financial institutions may implement earlier cut-off times for BPAY® payments. It is an Applicant's responsibility to ensure that the Application Moneys are received before the Closing Date of the relevant Offer.
3.2 Effect of making an Application
Once an Application has been made, it cannot be revoked.
All valid Applications shall be deemed accepted if received before the Closing Date of the relevant Offer, except that once an aggregate of \$4,001,400 has been received in Applications, the Company reserves the right to return an Application Form and/or Application Moneys and will not issue any Offer Securities to that Applicant.
If an Eligible Shareholder makes an Application, that person:
- (a) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to the terms of the Offer set out in this Prospectus;
- (b) acknowledges that their Application is irrevocable and unconditional;
- (c) agrees to pay the Offer Price for each New Share which they have applied for under the Offer, subject to any scale back (refer to Section 2.5); and

3.3 Application Money to be held on trust

3.4 Issue of Offer Securities
New Shares and Free Attaching Options under the Share Purchase Plan and Shortfall Offer are expected to be issued on the date specified in the timetable in the Key Information section on page 1 of this Prospectus.

Application Moneys received by the Company for Offer Securities will be refunded in full without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.
The fact that ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the New Shares or Free Attaching Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or its Securities.
3.6 Withdrawal
The Directors may decide to withdraw this Prospectus or an Offer at any time before the issue of any Offer Securities.
3.7 Applicants outside of Australia
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Offer Securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Offers.

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS), operated by ASX Settlement (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules. The Company operates an electronic issuersponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of its Securities.
Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to the holders of Securities. Instead, the Company provides holders with a Holding Statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Offer Securities allotted and issued to them under this Prospectus.
This Holding Statement also advises investors of either their Holder Identification Number (HIN) in the case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or Security Holder Reference Number (SRN) in the case of a holding on the issuer sponsored sub-register.
A Holding Statement is routinely sent to holders at the end of any calendar month during which their holding changes. A holder may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be incurred for additional statements.
3.10 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give potential Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Offer Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions for potential Applicants.
Neither the Company nor any of its advisers or officers accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to potential Applicants in relation to an Offer. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offers.

5. Risk Factors
5.1 Introduction
Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact upon the Company's future performance. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives.
Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and review announcements made by the Company to ASX (at www.asx.com.au under the code IPT) in order to gain an appreciation of the Company, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects.
An investment in the Company's Securities should be considered speculative. Securities carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of any dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider the risk factors set out in Section 1.5 above and in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 below which the Directors believe represent some of the general and specific risks that Shareholders should be aware of when evaluating the Company and deciding whether to acquire any Securities in the Company. The following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
5.2 Company specific risks
In addition to the key risk set out in Section 1.5 above, the following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to an investment in the Company. These risks may adversely affect the Company's financial position, prospects and price of its quoted Securities.
(a) Resource estimates
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates were appropriate when made, but may change significantly when new information becomes available.
There are risks associated with such estimates. Resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. Adjustments to resource estimates could affect the Company's future plans and ultimately its financial performance and value.
(b) Key personnel
Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is important to the Company's success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is strong. If such persons cease to be employed or otherwise engaged by the Company for whatever reason, the Company may be adversely affected.
(c) Commodity price fluctuations
In the event of exploration and development success, any future revenue derived through the future sale of gold exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for such commodities, forward selling by producers and the level of production costs. Moreover, prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, these commodities.
5.3 Mining industry risks
Mineral exploration and mining may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company and are speculative operations which, by their nature, are subject to a number of inherent risks, including the following:
(a) Exploration costs
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 cost estimates and underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's viability.
(b) 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 exploitation would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from 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 exploitation may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as those of the Company.
(c) Mining and development risks
The profitability of the Company depends upon the successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operation and management and proficient financial management.
Mining and development operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances, environmental considerations and cost overruns for unforeseen events.
(d) Realising value from projects
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment; mechanical failure or plant breakdown; unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs; adverse weather conditions; industrial and environmental accidents; industrial disputes; and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(e) Title risks
The Company's interests in tenements in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland are governed by legislation in each jurisdiction and are evidenced by the granting of mining concessions. Each mining concession is granted subject to conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if the tenement conditions are not met.
(f) Joint venture parties, agents and contractors
There is a risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or 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.
(g) Competition
The Company competes with other companies, including major mining companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with these companies.
(h) Other
Whilst the Company currently has not incurred any liabilities and is adequately insured, no assurance can be provided as to potential uninsured losses or liabilities that may arise in the future.
5.4 General investment risks
(a) Securities market conditions
As with all securities market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. Share prices may rise or fall and the price of Shares might trade below or above the Offer Price under the Share Purchase Plan.
General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity process, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.
(b) Price and exchange rate fluctuation
The revenue derived through the sale of mineral commodities targeted by the Company exposes the potential income of the Company to price and exchange rate risks. Prices of mineral commodities fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for such commodities, forward selling by producers and the level of production costs. Moreover, prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, these commodities.
(c) Liquidity risk
There cannot be any guarantee that there will continue to be an active market for Shares or that the price of Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of shares on ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell Shares held by them. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price paid for the Shares.
(d) Securities investment risk
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any Securities investment. Securities quoted on a securities market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Securities regardless of the Company's performance.
(e) Other risks
Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk, and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of the Company.
6. Rights and liabilities attached to Offer Securities
6.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are contained in the Constitution and, in certain circumstances, are regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Rules and the common law. The Constitution is available for inspection free of charge at the Company's registered office and on the Company's website (www.impactminerals.com.au).
The following is a broad summary (though not necessarily an exhaustive or definitive statement) of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares:
(a) Share capital
All issued ordinary fully paid shares rank equally in all respects.
(b) Voting rights
At a general meeting of the Company, every holder of Shares present in person, by an attorney, representative or proxy has one (1) vote on a show of hands and on a poll, one (1) vote for each Share held, and for every partly paid Share held, a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) on the Share is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) on the Share. Where there is an equality of votes, the chairperson has a casting vote.
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights as to dividend (at present there are none), all dividends as declared by the Directors shall be payable on all Shares out of the Company's profits:
- (i) in accordance with the Corporations Act; and
- (ii) in proportion to the amount of capital paid or credited as paid on the Shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.
The Directors may direct that payment of the dividend be made wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets or other Securities of the Company.
(d) Rights on winding-up
Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to a class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company, any surplus must be divided among Shareholders in the proportion which the amount paid (including amounts credited) on the Shares of a Shareholder is of the total amounts paid and payable (including amounts credited) on the Shares of all shareholders.
A liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of Shareholders:
- (i) distribute among the Shareholders the whole or any part of the property of the Company; and
- (ii) decide how to distribute the property as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
No Shareholder is compelled to accept any property, including shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Transfer of Shares
Shares in the Company may be transferred by such means in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules.
The Company may refuse to register a transfer of Shares only in those circumstances permitted by the Company's Constitution, the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules.
(f) Further increases in capital
Subject to the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Rules, the Company may:
- (i) issue and allot unissued Shares; and
- (ii) grant Options,
to such persons, and on such terms, as the Directors determine.
(g) Variation of rights attaching to Shares
The rights attaching to any class of Shares (unless otherwise provided by their terms of issue) may be varied by a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of those Shares of that class, or in certain circumstances, with the written consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued Shares of that class.
(h) General meeting
Each holder of Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
6.2 Terms and conditions of Free Attaching Options
The Free Attaching Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are regulated by the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and general law.
Each Free Attaching Option will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

(b) No payment on grant
The Option Holder is not required to pay any amount on the grant to the Option Holder of a Free Attaching Option.
(c) Exercise price
The exercise price of each Free Attaching Option is \$0.04 (Exercise Price).

The Company must give the Option Holder a Holding Statement stating:
- (i) the number of Free Attaching Options issued to the Option Holder;
- (ii) the Exercise Price of the Free Attaching Options; and
- (iii) the date of issue of the Free Attaching Options.
(f) Transfer
The Free Attaching Options are transferable.
(g) Quotation of Free Attaching Options
The Company will apply to ASX for Official Quotation of the Free Attaching Options.
(h) Quotation of Shares
The Company will apply to ASX for Official Quotation of the Shares issued on exercise of Free Attaching Options.
(i) New issues
The Option Holder is not entitled to participate in any new issue to Shareholders of Securities in the Company unless they have exercised their Free Attaching Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue of Securities and participate as a result of holding Shares. The Company must give the Option Holder notice of the proposed terms of the issue or offer in accordance with the Listing Rules.
(j) Bonus issues
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other Securities to Shareholders (except an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and a Share has not been issued in respect of the Free Attaching Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of underlying Shares over which the Free Attaching Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option Holder would have received if the Option Holder had exercised the Free Attaching Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.
(k) Reorganisation
- (i) If there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the share capital of the Company, then the rights of the Option Holder (including the number of Free Attaching Options to which the Option Holder is entitled to and the Exercise Price) will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
- (ii) Any calculations or adjustments which are required to be made will be made by the Company's Board and will, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Company and the Option Holder.
- (iii) The Company must, within a reasonable period, give to the Option Holder notice of any change to the Exercise Price of any Free Attaching Options held by the Option Holder or the number of Shares which the Option Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of a Free Attaching Option.
(l) Exercise
- (i) To exercise Free Attaching Options, the Option Holder must give the Company or its Share Registry, at the same time:
- A. an exercise notice (in the form approved by the Board of the Company from time to time) specifying the number of Free Attaching Options being exercised and Shares to be issued; and
- B. payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares, the subject of the exercise notice, by way of bank cheque or by other means of payment, approved by the Company.
- (ii) The Option Holder may only exercise Free Attaching Options in multiples of 10,000 Free Attaching Options unless the Option Holder exercises all Free Attaching Options held by the Option Holder.
- (iii) Free Attaching Options will be deemed to have been exercised on the date the exercise notice and Exercise Price are received by the Company.
(m) Re-issue of certificate or Holding Statement
If the Option Holder exercises less than the total number of Free Attaching Options registered in the Option Holder's name:
- (i) the Option Holder must surrender their Free Attaching Option Holding Statement (if any); and
- (ii) the Company must cancel the Free Attaching Option Holding Statement (if any) and issue the Option Holder a new Free Attaching Option Holding Statement or holding statement stating the remaining number of Free Attaching Options held by the Option Holder.
(n) Issue
- (i) Within five Business Days after receiving an application for exercise of Free Attaching Options and payment by the Option Holder of the Exercise Price, the Company must issue the Option Holder the number of Shares specified in the application.
- (ii) Subject to the Constitution, all Shares issued on the exercise of Free Attaching Options will rank in all respects (including rights relating to dividends) equally with the existing ordinary shares of the Company at the date of issue.
(o) Governing law
These terms and the rights and obligations of the Option Holder are governed by the laws of Western Australia. The Option Holder irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.
7. Continuous disclosure documents
7.1 Continuous disclosure obligations
This is a Prospectus for the offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) of the Company and is issued pursuant to section 713 of the Corporations Act as a transaction specific prospectus. Accordingly, this Prospectus does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering Prospectus.
The Company is a "disclosing entity" for the purposes of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. As a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require it to immediately notify ASX of any information concerning the Company of which it is or becomes aware and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Shares, subject to certain exceptions.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the provisions of the Listing Rules as in force from time to time which apply to disclosing entities, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus.
The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are in a class of securities that were quoted on the stock market of ASX at all times in the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus. Further, the Company will apply for quotation of the Free Attaching Options to be issued under this Prospectus, which are also options to subscribe for continuously quoted securities (i.e. Shares).
