5. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES AND TERMS OF 2008 OPTIONS

$5.1$ Rights attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to the Shares that will be issued upon exercise of the 2008 Options. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders in the Company.

Dividend Rights $(c)$

The Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders entitled to the dividend. The dividend shall (subject to Clause 5.5 of the Company's Constitution and to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividends) be payable on all shares in proportion to the number of shares held by them, irrespective of the amount paid up, or credited as paid up, on the

shares in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders such interim dividends as they may determine. No dividends shall be payable except out of profits. A determination by the Directors as to the profits of the Company shall be conclusive. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

  • ${i}$ issue new shares of such amount as is specified in the resolution;
  • consolidate and divide all or any of its shares into shares of $(ii)$ larger amounts than its existing shares:
  • sub-divide all or any of its shares into shares of smaller amount, $(iii)$ but so that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each such share of a smaller amount is the same as it was in the case of the share from which the share of a smaller amount is derived: and
  • $(iv)$ cancel shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person or have been forfeited and reduce its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

6. RISK FACTORS

$6.1$ General

The 2008 Options offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company's business. The future profitability of the Company will be dependent on the success of the results of the exploration on the current and any future assets of the Company and the successful commercial exploitation of these assets.

Whilst the Directors recommend the Offer, there are however numerous risk factors involved. The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the 2008 Options.

Factors which may affect the Company's financial position, prospects and the price of its listed 2008 Options and the Shares to be issued on exercise of the 2008 Options include the following:

$6.2$ General Economic Conditions

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors, which may contribute to that general economic climate, include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption in Australia, the rate of growth of Australia's gross domestic product, interest rates and the rate of inflation.

$6.3$ Additional Capital

The Company is likely to require further financing to develop the Cape Lambert Project and its existing projects in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financina as needed, it may be reauired to reduce the scope of its operations.

$6.4$ ASX Share Investment Risk

There are various risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the stock market generally. The value of 2008 Options and Shares will depend upon general stock market and economic conditions as well as the specific performance of the Company. There is no quarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the 2008 Options and Shares will trade on ASX. The past performance of the Shares is not necessarily an indication as to future performance as the trading price of shares and options can ao down or up in value.

$6.5$ Economic Risks, Commodity Risks and Exchange Rate Risks

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities will expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

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

6.6 Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company's prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers and senior management to operate effectively, both individually and as a aroup.

Further, the success of the Company largely depends on its ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified management and personnel.

$6.7$ Tenement Rights

The applications comprising the Cape Lambert Project have not been granted. There are inherent risks associated with obtaining grant of any mining tenement applications. If one or both of the applications are not granted, the Company will suffer significant damage through the loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any resources on the Cape Lambert Project area. Although the Directors are not aware of any reason why the applications may not be aranted, there is no auarantee that they will, in fact, be aranted.

$6.8$ Resource Estimates

The resource estimate for the Cape Lambert Project is an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Resource estimates which are valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company's operations. Further, there is no guarantee that any deposit on the Cape Lambert Project will be able to be economically exploited.

$6.9$ Exploration and Evaluation Risks

Exploration and evaluation may be hampered by mining, heritage and environmental legislation, industrial disputes, cost overruns, land claims and compensation, and other unforeseen contingencies.

The operations of the Company depend on the delineation of economically mineable reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to the Company's exploration and mining tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities.

Weather conditions over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration, mining and drilling operations and the timing of earning revenues.

Whether or not 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 proiect development, as does the design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operational management and prudent financial administration.

$6.10$ Environmental Risk

Mining is an industry that has become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. The potential for liability is an ever-present risk.

The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation.

$6.11$ Growth

The Company intends to continue to expand its exploration activities both organically and through the acquisition of new projects. There are always risks that the benefits, synergies or efficiencies expected from such acquisitions or expansions may take longer than expected to be achieved or may not be achieved at all. Growth also brings substantial demands on management. The Company seeks to manage its growth through planning and consultation.

$6.12$ Commercial Risks

Like many companies, the Company faces commercial risks such as competition, litigation, industrial disputes, operational risks and liabilities.

$6.13$ Operating Risks

Other operating risks relating to the ability of the Company to:

  • operate effective budgetary and cost controls;
  • manage systems interruptions and capacity constraints; and ٠
  • maintain adequate network security measures. ٠

$6.14$ Legislative Changes

Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. The Company is not aware of any specific material changes in relevant regulations or policy in this regard but it is possible that more extensive requlations may be imposed in the future. These regulations may restrict the Company from carrying out some of its existing and proposed activities.

$\overline{z}$ . ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

$7.1$ Continuous Disclosure Obligations

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

  • $(a)$ it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
