4. Risk Factors
An investment in shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in Cyclone.
The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the specific risk factors which shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating cyclone’s business and risks of increasing your investment in Cyclone. Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors.
118476 (2811055)
7
4.1 Specific Risks
- (a) Exploration and Development Risks
The business of exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continued success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
-
(i) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;
-
(ii) access to adequate capital for project development;
-
(iii) design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
-
(iv)
-
securing and maintaining title to interests;
-
(v) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration, development and production; and
-
(vi) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities. Factors including costs, formations, flow consistency and reliability and commodity prices affect successful project development and operations.
Drilling activities carry risk, and as such activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of drill rigs or other equipment.
Industry operating risks include fire, explosions, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, mechanical failure or breakdown, blow outs, pipe failures and environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of liquids, gas leaks, ruptures, discharges of toxic gases or geological uncertainty. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.
There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.
118476 (2811055)
8
(b) Environmental Risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment applicable in the jurisdiction of those activities. As with most production operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or production proceeds. It is the Company’s practice to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Nevertheless, there are certain risks inherent in the Company’s activities which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
(c) Competition
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and 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) Regulatory Risks
The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project, its development or operation. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of its tenements.
(e) Geopolitical risks
Operating in multiple jurisdictions exposes the Company to geopolitical risks that could affect its operations, such as potential changes in government policies, resource nationalism, challenges in maintaining social license to operate, fluctuations in commodity prices, and currency exchange risks. Additionally, the Company may encounter infrastructure challenges in diverse geographical locations and must navigate varying environmental standards across different jurisdictions. These risks, individually or in combination, could significantly impact the Company's operations, financial performance, and long-term viability. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's exploration plans or, indeed its rights and/or obligations with respect to the tenements. The Company must continuously monitor and manage these risks as part of its overall business strategy.
118476 (2811055)
(f) Effects of the Offer on dilution and control
If you do not take up, all or part of your Entitlement, then your percentage shareholding in the Company will be diluted by not participating, up to the full extent in the Entitlement Issue and you will not be exposed to future increases or decreases in the Company’s share price in respect of the new shares which would have been issued to you had you taken up all of your Entitlement. The Offer is a prorata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Offer on the control of the Company. While the final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which they are Eligible Shareholders and to the extent to which the other Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of Shares under the Offer on the control of the Company will be minimal.
(g) Reliance on key personnel
The Company's success is dependent to a significant degree upon the efforts of key directors and technical personnel. The Company relies on a high-quality board with significant specific regional and technical knowledge. The loss of services of any director or key technical personnel, or the failure to attract additional skilled individuals to the board or technical roles, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, including its relationships with its partners and its ability to manage cross-border operations effectively.
(h) Foreign exchange risk
Whilst the Company reports its financial results and maintains its accounts in Australian dollars, the Company also operates in Canada and New Zealand where its functional currency is the principal currency the Canadian dollar and New Zealand dollar respectively. This means that the Company's operations in Canada and New Zealand are subject to currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may have a positive or negative influence on the Australian dollar equivalent of such revenue and expenditure and may impact the Company’s operating results. The Company will appropriately monitor and assess such risks and may from time to time implement measures, such as foreign exchange currency hedging, to assist managing these risks. However, the implementation of such measures may not eliminate all such risks and the measures themselves may expose the Company to related risks.
4.2 General Risks
(a) Securities Investment
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Company’s securities trade may be above or below the issue price, and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for mining and exploration companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities, regardless of the Company’s operational performance.
118476 (2811055)
(b) Share Market Conditions
The market price of the securities may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for securities in general and resource stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) General Economic Climate and Share Market Conditions
Factors such as global credit risks, inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company’s future revenues and the market price for its listed securities may be affected by these factors, as well as fluctuations in the price of minerals, which are beyond the Company's control.
(d) Economic risks
The Company’s operational and financial performance is affected by the Australian and other international economies. General and business conditions, inflation, interest rates, monetary and fiscal policy and political circumstances are all matters which may affect the Company's operating and financial performance. Businesses such as the Company that borrow money are potentially exposed to adverse interest rate movements that may affect the cost of borrowing, which in turn would impact on earnings.
(e) Taxation
Future changes in Australian taxation laws, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in the Company's shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted may impact upon the future tax liabilities of the Company.
- (f) Change in accounting policy
Changes to the Australian Accounting Standards could affect the Company's reported earnings and its financial position from time to time.
4.3 Investment Speculative
The above list of risk factors should 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 future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the securities offered. Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for securities.
