3. CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Investor

On behalf of Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited I am pleased to present this Prospectus to raise up to \$28.53 million which, in addition to funding commitments of \$4.47 million of funds raised in the UK, will fund existing projects and fund the acquisition by the Company of Mt Anketell which is the applicant for exploration licences comprising the 2.5 billion fonne JORC compliant Cape Lambert Iron Ore project (Project). The Prospectus also contains an offer to the Mt Anketell Shareholders to apply for Securities as part consideration for the Acquisition.

Located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the Cape Lambert resource has recently undergone an independent analysis, which has now confirmed the total JORC Compliant mineral resource to be 2.5 billion tonnes (at 30% Fe at 250m depth & 25% Fe cut off).

Previous owner, Robe River Mining Company Pty Ltd (Robe River) undertook an exploration program and scoping study between 1993 and 2001, but decided not to proceed on the grounds it was not economically feasible under the then economic conditions.

Since Robe River relinquished the Project, market conditions in the iron ore industry have improved greatly, Iron ore prices have more than doubled since Robe River surrendered the Project, due in part to a greatly increased demand from Asian steel makers.

The Directors of Cape Lambert are confident that the significant upgrade in the resource (and to JORC compliance), the expansion of the nearby Cape Lambert port facilities by Rio Tinto and nearby related infrastructure (road, rail, power and nearby towns), together with the vastly improved market conditions, the advances in technology and associated processing techniques makes the Project viable in the current market.

The Independent Consultants, Mackay & Schnellmann Pty Ltd, believe the deposit appears to be open to the north, west and south and also at depth so there is potential for significant upside if further drilling were necessary.

There are also a number of other higher-grade (60% - 64% Fe) target areas within the Project area.

Following the Offers, Cape Lambert will commence a feasibility study on the Project immediately which is expected to take between 12-18 months to complete.

The Board of Cape Lambert believes the Acquisition is an important strategic fit to the Company's other significant assets, which include: the Evanston and Mt Ida gold projects in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, the Sacu gold/copper project near the "Golden Quadrilateral" region of Romania and the NFX gold project in the Kirkland Lake region of Canada.

Yours sincerely

Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited

Tony Sage Executive Chairman

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFERS 5.

$5.1$ Purpose of the Offers

The purpose of the Mt Anketell Offer is to enable the Mt Anketell Shareholders to apply for the Securities to be issued to them as part consideration for the Acquisition.

The purpose of the General Offer is to raise up to \$28,530,000. It is intended to apply funds raised from the General Offer and from the UK Placement as follows (assuming the Offer is fully subscribed to raise \$28,530,000):

Use Funds
to the Mt Anketell
Cash
consideration
payable
Shareholders for the Acquisition 1
\$19,900,000
Exploration and evaluation of the Company's current
projects 2
Baldock Shoot development 3 \$4,500,000
Evanston - Australia 4 \$1,000,000
$SACU - Romania5$ \$1,000,000
Other projects - Australia \$750,000
Costs commencing of bankable feasibility study on Cape
Lambert Project and funds for working capital
\$3,250,000
Expenses of Transaction 6 \$2,600,000
Total \$33,000,000

1 If the Company raises less than \$33,000,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement, the amount of cash paid to the Mt Anketell Shareholders will be reduced accordingly, and be satisfied by the issue of Shares (at a deemed issue price of \$0.30 per Share). Refer to Section 6.3 of this Prospectus.

2 Funding is required to facilitate ongoing exploration and mining at the Company's 3 major existing projects at Mount Ida, Evanston and Sacu, and to facilitate the development of the Baldock underground mining operations and possible Marda Central open-pit operation. Mines & Resources Australia Pty Ltd (MRA) has agreed to spend \$7,500,000 on gold exploration over the next 5 years at the Mt Ida Project pursuant to the farm-in and joint venture agreement entered into with the Company in January 2005. Accordingly, the Company is not expecting to spend a material amount on exploration at the Mt Ida Project in the short to medium term.

3 If the exploration program to be performed by MRA increases the size of the current resource or uncovers new and additional resources, this may require a substantive change to the current mine plan in order to maximise the extraction of the resources and the return to Shareholders. The Company has undertaken an internal scoping study for the continued development of the Baldock mining operation indicating that the maximum capital requirements will be in the order of \$4,500,000.

4 Recent work on the Evanston Project has highlighted the potential of the area to host a significant gold resource base. Accordingly, much work is required to initially assess and generate new targets and to follow up on the existing resource base. It is proposed that a budget of \$1,000,000 be set aside for this work.

5 Current work on the Sacu Project involves the use of ground based geophysics to better define target areas the results of which may delineate several specific targets which will then require drill based exploration. The potential exists for the acceleration of exploration if this early drilling indicates that the area has potential as indicated. It is proposed that a budget of \$1,000,000 be set aside for this ongoing exploration.

6 The Company will pay a commission of up to 7% on the amount raised to licensed securities dealers.

If the Company raises more than \$18,100,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement but less than \$33,000,000, there will be a corresponding reduction in the cash consideration payable to the Mt Anketell Shareholders for the Acquisition and a reduction in the expenses of the Transaction as a result of less commission paid to licensed securities dealers.

$5.2$ Effect of the Offers

The Offers are conditional upon the Acquisition Agreement becoming unconditional.

The principal effect of the Transaction will be to:

  • increase cash reserves by approximately \$10,500,000 immediately after $(a)$ completion of the Transaction and estimated expenses of the Transaction, assuming all Securities offered under this Prospectus and the UK Placement are issued; and
  • increase the number of Securities on issue as set out in the table below. $(b)$ assuming all Securities offered under this Prospectus are issued (and therefore the Cash and/or Share Consideration is satisfied in full by cash - refer to Section 6.3 of this Prospectus).
Shares Number

Acquisition 1

2008 Options to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition 50,000,000
2008 Options to be issued pursuant to the Offer 3 47,550,000

1 If the General Offer is not fully subscribed the Mt Anketell Shareholders will be issued Shares as part of the Cash and/or Share Consideration. Accordingly, the Company will issue 110,000,000 Shares whether or not the General Offer is fully subscribed (assuming the minimum subscription is reached and the Acquisition completes) and the cash component of the Cash and/or Share Consideration will decrease by \$0.30 for every Share issued to the Mt Anketell Shareholders as part of the Cash and/or Share Consideration. Refer to Section 6.3 of this Prospectus.

2 Exercisable at \$0.39 each on or before 9 February 2009.

3 This assumes that the General Offer is fully subscribed. The Mt Anketell Shareholders will not receive free-attaching 2008 Options if they are issued Shares as part of the Cash and/or Share Consideration.

  • Down hole surveys.

Mineral test work over the period was extensive and directed towards producing exceptionally high market iron pellets as a marketable commodity.

Robe River decided not to proceed with further exploration of the Cape Lambert deposit on the grounds it was not economically feasible under the economic conditions and assumptions Robe River set at the time.

Recent Re-evaluation

A recent re-evaluation of all available data by the current owners and independent geological consultants Mackay & Schnellmann Pty Ltd (Independent Consultants) has confirmed a significant upgrade of the indicated and inferred resources within the Project. The JORC compliant resource at the Project has been confirmed as:

  • 2.5 billion tonnes @ 30% Fe (250m depth & 25%Fe cut off)
  • 1.4bt Indicated Resource $\circ$
  • 1.1bt Inferred Resource $\circ$
  • 1.2 billion tonnes @ 33%Fe (250m depth & 30%Fe cut off)
  • .67bt Indicated Resource $\circ$
  • .53bt Inferred Resource $\circ$

The Independent Consultants believe the deposit appears to be open to the north, west and south and also at depth so there is potential for significant upside if further drilling were necessary.

There are also a number of other higher-grade (60% - 64% Fe) target areas within the Project area.

Improved Iron Ore Market Conditions

Since Robe River relinquished the Project, market conditions in the iron ore industry have drastically changed.

Magnetite pellets now carry a price premium due to their usefulness as a blending ore for blast furnace charging. There has also been a substantial recent price rise in the price of pellets since 1999 (A\$40 in 1999 to A\$81 at present). Australian iron ore export prices have more than doubled since Robe River held the Project, due to a greatly increased demand from Asian steel makers including China, Japan, South Korea and India.

The Project assumptions have also changed markedly, with the target analysis specifications set in 1999 (67% Fe) seen to be very high by today's standards. Iron content of approx 60% Fe is now seen to be adequate for pellet production or even direct feed to the blast furnaces. Using a very high cut off grade the previous estimated resource was approximately 255-500 million tonnes. By using a 25% cut off grade the resource increases to 2.5 billion tonnes, using a 30% cut off grade the resource is 1.2 billion tonnes.

The Directors are confident the significant upgrade in the resource (and to JORC compliance), the expansion of the nearby Cape Lambert port facility by Rio Tinto and related infrastructure (road, rail power and nearby towns), the vastly improved market conditions, together with the advances in technology and associated processing techniques will assist in the assessment of Project feasibility.

If the Acquisition completes, Cape Lambert will commence a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) immediately. This study will be partially funded through the Offer and is expected to take between 12-18 months to complete.

Summary of the Terms of the Acquisition $6.3$

Pursuant to the Heads of Agreement (as amended by the parties to the Heads of Agreement), the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued shares in Mt Anketell from the Mt Anketell Shareholders.

The Heads of Agreement is subject to and conditional upon:

  • $(a)$ Shareholders having passed all resolutions as are required under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Heads of Agreement;
  • the Company conducting due diligence investigations in respect of Mt $(b)$ Anketell and the Project and being satisfied with the outcome of those investigations in its sole and absolute discretion:
  • the Company receiving funding commitments for a minimum of $|C|$ \$18,100,000 to complete the Acquisition which is proposed to be raised pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement; and
  • $(d)$ each of the parties executing a formal share sale agreement and any other document required to give effect to the Acquisition,

(fogether, the Conditions Precedent).

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Conditions Precedent in paragraphs (a) and (b) have been satisfied. The Conditions Precedent in paragraphs (c) and (d) must be satisfied or waived by no later than 5 December 2005 (or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing).

In the event that one or more of the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied or waived by the relevant date, the Heads of Agreement may be terminated by any party by aiving notice in writing to the other parties, whereupon each of the parties shall be discharged from further obligations under the Heads of Agreement.

The consideration payable to the Mt Anketell Shareholders for the Acquisition is:

  • \$100,000 upon execution of the Heads of Agreement (which amount $(a)$ has already been paid and is non-refundable);
  • $(b)$ \$50,000 for an extension of time to satisfy the conditions precedent (which amount has already been paid and will be applied against monies payable by the Company at settlement. If settlement does not occur, this amount will not be refunded);
  • $|C|$ the issue of:
  • $\left{ \left| \right| \right}$ 50,000,000 2008 Options;
  • 50,000,000 2009 Options; $(ii)$
  • $(iii)$ 40,000,000 2010 Options; and

$(iv)$ \$19,900,000 to be satisfied in cash and/or Shares depending on the level of capital raised by the Company pursuant to the Offer and the UK Placement (Cash and/or Share Consideration).

All of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Options are to be issued to Power United Limited. which holds approximately 49.9% of the issued capital of Mt Anketell.

The Cash and/or Share Consideration will be satisfied in cash and/or Shares according to the amount of capital raised pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement. If the Company raises the full \$33,000,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement, the Cash and/or Share Consideration will be satisfied by paying the Mt Anketell Shareholders \$19,900,000 in cash.

If the Company raises less than \$33,000,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement (despite seeking full subscription), the amount of cash paid to the Mt Anketell Shareholders will be reduced accordinaly, and be satisfied by the issue of Shares (at a deemed issue price of \$0.30 per Share) to the Mt Anketell Shareholders in accordance with their percentage interest in Mt Anketell. Each individual Mt Anketell Shareholder will hold less than 20% of the Company's Shares at completion of the Acquisition.

For example:

  • $(a)$ if the Company raises \$25,000,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement (as opposed to \$33,000,000), the Company will pay the Mt Anketell Shareholders \$11,900,000 and issue them a total of 26.666.667 Shares: or
  • $(b)$ if the Company raises \$20,000,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement (as opposed to \$33,000,000), the Company will pay the Mt Anketell Shareholders \$6,900,000 and issue them a total of 43,333,333 Shares.

The maximum number of Shares to be issued to the Mt Anketell Shareholders will be 49,666,667 Shares in conjunction with \$5,000,000 in cash (if the Company raises \$18,100,000 pursuant to the General Offer and the UK Placement). If the Company receives subscriptions for less than \$18,100,000 pursuant to the General Offer and UK Placement, the funding commitment condition precedent will not be satisfied and the Transaction will not proceed.

The Mt Anketell Shareholders will apply for any Securities to be issued as part of the Cash and/or Share Consideration pursuant to the Mt Anketell Offer immediately following the General Offer Closing Date.

Settlement of the Acquisition will take place 7 business days after satisfaction of the conditions precedent or such other date as agreed by the parties.

At settlement, the Mt Anketell Shareholders will confer on IGL title to all of the issued capital in Mt Anketell and place the Company in effective possession and control of Mt Anketell. At settlement, the Company will:

  • $(b)$ pay \$450,000 to the Mt Anketell Shareholders;
  • issue the 50,000,000 2008 Options, 50,000,000 2009 Options and $|C|$ 40,000,000 2010 Options to the Mt Anketell Shareholders;

  • $(d)$ pay the remaining cash portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration (up to \$19,400,000) into an interest bearing trust account controlled by the Company and held on trust for the Mt Anketell Shareholders (Trust Account) which will be released from the Trust Account and paid to the Mt Anketell Shareholders once Mt Anketell (or the Company) receives formal notification from the relevant government authority that ELA47/1462 has been granted.

  • the Share portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration will be issued $\Theta$ to the Mt Anketell Shareholders but will be escrowed until Mt Anketell (or the Company) receives formal notification from the relevant government authority that ELA 47/1462 has been granted. In this regard, the Mt Anketell Shareholders garee to execute voluntary escrow agreements at settlement which voluntarily escrow the Share portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration until such time as Mt Anketell (or the Company) receives formal notification from the relevant government authority that ELA 47/1462 has been granted; and
  • $(f)$ the 40,000,000 2010 Options will be issued to the Mt Anketell Shareholder upon Mt Anketell (or IGL) receiving formal notification from the relevant government authority that ELA 47/1462 has been granted.

The parties agree that if ELA 47/1462 is not aranted within 12 months after the execution date of the formal agreement, the Company may elect to rescind the agreement in its entirety and if the Company so elects to rescind, then (without regard to any party's taxation position) the parties will do all such things and acts so as to restore each party to the position prior the execution date, including, but not limited to:

  • $(a)$ the cash portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration in the Trust Account being released to the Company (less any interest owing to the Mt Anketell Shareholders); and
  • $(b)$ the Share portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration being bought back by the Company and cancelled. In this regard, the Mt Anketell Shareholders agree to execute all such documentation and do all such acts to give effect to the buy back and cancellation.

The parties agree that the interest earned on the cash portion of the Cash and/or Share Consideration in the Trust Account will be shared equally by IGL (of the one part) and the Mt Anketell Shareholders collectively.

The Company has also agreed to pay the Mt Anketell Shareholders (or their nominees) a royalty of \$0.50 per tonne of concentrate extracted from the Project and sold during each quarter for the life of the Project.

Mt Anketell and each of the Mt Anketell Shareholders have provided some standard warranties and undertakings in the Heads of Agreement. However, no warranties or undertakings have been provided by Mt Anketell or the Mt Anketell Shareholders in respect of native title, implied warranties or the risk of the failure of Government to grant the applications comprising the Project.

$(c)$ Dividend Rights

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.

  • ${j}$ 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;
  • $(iii)$ sub-divide all or any of its shares into shares of smaller amount. 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
  • cancel shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, $(iv)$ 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.

$(g)$ Variation of Rights

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied, whether or not the

Company is being wound up, with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. Any variation of riahts is subject to Part 2.F.2 of Chapter 2F of the Corporations Act.

8. RISK FACTORS

$8.1$ General

The Securities 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 Offers, 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 Securities.

Factors which may affect the Company's financial position, prospects and the price of its listed Securities include the following:

$8.2$ 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.

$8.3$ Additional Capital

The Company is likely to require further financing to develop the 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 financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

8.4 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 Securities will depend upon general stock market and economic conditions as well as the specific performance of the Company. There is no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Securities will trade on ASX after completion of the Transaction. The past performance of the Shares is not necessarily an indication as to future performance as the trading price of shares can go down or up in value.

8.5 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.

8.6 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.

$8.7$ Tenement Rights

The applications comprising the 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 Project area. Although the Directors are not aware of any reason why the applications may not be granted, there is no quarantee that they will, in fact, be aranted.

8.8 Native Title

Native title claims could impact on the Company's operations and plans in relation to the Project and other projects in the future. The Mt Anketell Shareholders have not given the Company any warranties in respect of native title affecting the area the subject of the applications. The Company will be obliged to comply with applicable legislation in respect of native title affecting the Project area.

8.9 Resource Estimates

The resource estimate for the 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 Project will be able to be economically exploited.

8.10 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 project development, as does the design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operational management and prudent financial administration.

8.11 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.

$8.12$ 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.

8.13 Commercial Risks

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

$8.14$ Operating Risks

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

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

8.15 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 regulations may be imposed in the future. These regulations may restrict the Company from carrying out some of its existing and proposed activities.

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

$9.1$ Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to reqular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities.

It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

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.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:

  • $\alpha$ it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
  • $(b)$ copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section $1274(2)(a)$ of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
  • $|C|$ it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Mt Anketell Closing Date:
  • the annual financial report most recently lodged by the ${i}$ Company with the ASIC;
  • $\left( \mathbf{\ddot{H}}\right)$ any half year financial report lodged with the ASIC by the Company after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

$(ii)$ any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company during that period in accordance with ASX Listina Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the reaistered office of the Company during normal office hours.
