2. DETAILS OF THE BONUS ISSUE

2.1 Bonus Issue

The Company is making a pro rata non-renounceable offer to issue Bonus Options to Eligible Shareholders who are registered as at 5.00pm WST on 8 July 2015 (" Bonus Issue ").

The Bonus Issue is made on the basis of that for every 5 Shares held as at the Record Date the Company will issue 2 Bonus Options for free to Eligible Shareholders. In the calculation of any entitlement, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Based on the capital structure of the Company at the date of this Prospectus, approximately 124,409,981 Bonus Options will be issued under the Bonus Issue. This assumes that no existing Option holders exercise their Options before the Record Date.

The entitlement to the Bonus Options is non-renounceable which means that Eligible Shareholders cannot dispose of or trade any part of their entitlement to receive the Bonus Options under the Bonus Issue.

Each Bonus Option entitles the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one Share in the Company. The exercise price is 10 cents per Bonus Option. Each Bonus Option must be exercised on or before 30 June 2018. The terms of the Bonus Options are set out in Section 5 of this Prospectus.

2.2 Action required by Eligible Shareholders

Eligible Shareholders are not required to do anything to be issued with Options under the Bonus Issue. Holding statements for the Options will be despatched to Eligible Shareholders.

If you have any questions about your entitlement under the Bonus Issue, please contact the Company’s Share Registry or your stockbroker or professional adviser.

2.3 Brokers

No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Eligible Shareholders on the issue of Options under the Bonus Issue.

2.4 Allotment of Bonus Options

Options issued under this Prospectus will be allotted as soon as practicable after the date of this Prospectus and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules. The Company will allot the Options on the basis of the entitlement of all Eligible Shareholders under the Bonus Issue.

2.5 Official Quotation by ASX

The Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the Options within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus.

If the Options are not admitted to official quotation on ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted by the Corporations Act, none of the Options offered by this Prospectus will be granted.

8

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the Options that may be issued pursuant to this Prospectus is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Options offered.

2.6 ASX Listed Company

The Company is included in the official list of ASX and the Listing Rules apply to securities issued by the Company.

2.7 Overseas shareholders

This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer to issue this Prospectus. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Options or otherwise permit a public offering of the Bonus Options the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia.

Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to receive their Bonus Options.

2.8 New Zealand registered Shareholders

The Bonus Options are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand.

This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

2.9 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS). CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX.

Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to investors. Instead, Shareholders receive a statement of their holdings in the Company. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Ltd will send a CHESS statement.

2.10 Risk Factors

Investors should carefully read the risk factors outlined in section 4. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, some of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates.

2.11 Rights Attaching to Bonus Options and Shares

The terms of the Bonus Options and the rights attaching to Shares is set out in Section 5.

3. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BONUS ISSUE

3.1 Purpose of Bonus Issue and possible use of any funds upon the exercise of any Bonus Options

The purpose of the Bonus Issue is to reward Eligible Shareholders for supporting the Company and to give those Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the continued growth of the Company. Although no funds are raised by the issue of the Bonus Options, the possible exercise of the Bonus Options provides the Company with a mechanism to raise funds in the future.

The likelihood of the Company raising additional capital by the exercise of the Bonus Options is dependent on the market price of the Shares from time to time until the Bonus Shares expire on 30 June 2018. The exercise price of the Bonus Options of 10 cents is significantly above the pre-Prospectus trading price of the Shares.

Assuming that 124,409,981 Bonus Options are issued, the maximum amount that will be raised by the Company if all of the Bonus Options are exercised is $12,440,998.

The Company's use of any funds raised by the exercise of the Bonus Options will depend upon when the Bonus Options are exercised and the Company's requirements at the relevant time. The current intention is that any funds so raised will be used by the Company to fund its exploration and development activities at its East Kimberley project including copper and gold exploration and for general working capital.

3.2 Effect of the Bonus Issue

No funds will be raised from the Bonus Issue. The principal effects of the Bonus Issue will be to:

  • Increase the number of Options on issue by approximately 124,409,981 (assuming that no existing Option holders exercise their Options before the Record Date); and

  • Reduce cash on hand held by the Company by approximately $25,000 being the estimated costs of the Bonus Issue.

3.3 Effect on capital structure

The Bonus Issue will result in the issue of approximately 124,409,981 Bonus Options being issued assuming that no existing Option holders exercise their Options before the Record Date. Based on these assumptions, on completion of the Bonus Issue the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

10

Shares Number
Shares 311,024,953
Options
Bonus Options
Unlisted Options:
Exercise Price of 10 cents and expiry date of 30 November
2017
Exercise Price of 20 cents and expiry date of 30 June 2019
124,409,981
1,250,000
2,550,000
128,209,981

3.4 Effect on financial position

Except for the payment of the estimated costs of the Offer of approximately $25,000, the Bonus Issue will not have any other impact on the financial position of the Company.

The Company will receive 10 cents for each Bonus Option exercised and assuming 124,409,981 Bonus Options are issued and all the Bonus Options are exercised then the amount that would be raised by the Company would be $12,440,998. The likelihood of the Company raising additional capital through the exercise of the Bonus Options will depend on the market price of the Shares from time to time up to the expiry date of the Bonus Options on 30 June 2018.

3.5 Potential effect on control

The issue of Bonus Options as a pro-rata issue will not have a material effect on the control of the Company. The exercise of Bonus Options should not have a material effect on the control of the Company, as the maximum dilution experienced by any Eligible Shareholder that fails to exercise its Bonus Options will be 40% of its existing Shareholding.

11

4. RISK FACTORS

4.1 Introduction

The Bonus Options offered under this Prospectus are highly speculative. The Company is focusing on exploring the copper and gold potential of its East Kimberley tenements.

The resource exploration and development activities of the Company are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. The following is a nonexhaustive list of the risks that may have a material effect on the financial position and performance of the Company and the value of its securities, as well as the Company’s exploration, development and any mining activities and an ability to fund those activities.

The specific risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a specific nature by reason of its proposed involvement in the resources industry. The general investment risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a general economic nature.

4.2 Specific risks

Exploration

Investors should understand that resource exploration and development is by its nature a high risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration of its tenements (including for copper and gold) or any other exploration projects that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of a significant mineral resource. Even if a significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Development and mining

Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from any third parties providing essential services.

In the event that the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.

Future capital needs and additional funding

The Company’s ability to raise capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including the success of the exploration and development programs, any feasibility studies, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.

No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the

12

Company may not be able to further develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Commodity price volatility

The Company is seeking to develop projects which will be reliant on the prices of various commodities including copper and gold.

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand for commodities, forward selling by producers and production cost levels, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and any management and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the resource and development industries.

Resource estimations

Resources estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made.

Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. If the Company encounters mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Title

All of the tenements or licences in which the Company has or may earn an interest in will be subject to applications for renewal or grant (as the case may be). The renewal or grant of the terms of each tenement or licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority.

Additionally, tenements are subject to a number of State specific legislative conditions including payment of rent and meeting minimum annual expenditure commitments. The inability to meet these conditions could affect the standing of a tenement or restrict its ability to be renewed.

If a tenement or licence expires, is not renewed or granted, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.

13

Native title and land access

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is a significant uncertainty associated with native title in Australia and this may impact upon the Company's operations and future plans.

It is important to note that the existence of a native title claim is not an indication that native title in fact exists to the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined by the Federal Court. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner) or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.

The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining operations.

Environmental

The Company's projects are subject to rules and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company’s projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.

Potential acquisitions

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

4.3 General investment risks

Securities investments and share market conditions

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The trading prices of securities trade fluctuate in response to a number of factors.

Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.

Economic risk

Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest

14

rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.

Legislative

Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies in Australia may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

15

5. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

5.1 Terms of Bonus Options

The terms of the issue of the Bonus Options are:

  • (a) Each Bonus Option entitles the holder to one Share in the capital of the Company.

  • (b) The Bonus Options may be exercised at any time prior to 5.00pm Western Standard Time on 30 June 2018 (" Expiry Date ").

  • (c) The exercise price of the Bonus Options is 10 cents each.

  • (d) Application will be made for the Bonus Options to be quoted and the Bonus Options will be freely tradeable subject to any ASX escrow restrictions.

  • (e) The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Bonus Options (" Notice of Exercise "). Bonus Options may be exercised by the Option holder in whole or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and forwarding the same to the Secretary of the Company to be received prior to the expiry date. The Notice of Exercise must state the number of Bonus Options exercised, the consequent number of Shares to be allotted and the identity of the proposed allottee. The Notice of Exercise by an Option holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of Shares being subscribed, being an amount of the exercise price per Share.

  • (f) All Shares issued upon the exercise of the Bonus Options will rank equally in all respects with the Company's then issued Shares. The Company must apply to the ASX within 7 business days after the date of issue of all Shares pursuant to the exercise of Bonus Options to be admitted to quotation.

  • (g) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Bonus Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues or pro-rata issues of capital to Shareholders during the term of the Bonus Options. Thereby, the Option holder has no rights to a change in the exercise price of the Option or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the Bonus Option can be exercised except in the event of a bonus issue. The Company will ensure, for the purposes of determining entitlements to any issue, that Option holder will be notified of a proposed issue after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Bonus Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in such issues.

  • (h) If on or prior to the Expiry Date the Company makes a bonus issue of securities to holders of Shares in the Company, then upon exercise of his or her Bonus Options a holder will be entitled to have issued to him or her (in addition to the Shares which he or she is otherwise entitled to have issued to him or her upon such exercise) the number of securities which would have been issued to him or her under that bonus issue if the Bonus Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (i) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivisions, reduction or return) of the authorised or issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Option holder shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in accordance with the Listing Rules.

16

5.2 Rights attaching to Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are:

  • detailed in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours; and

  • in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice. Shares to be issued on exercise of Bonus Options will rank pari passu with all other Shares then on issue.

Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of members every member has one vote on a show of hands and one vote per share on a poll. The person who holds a share which is not fully paid shall be entitled to a fraction of a vote equal to that proportion of a vote that the amount paid (not credited) on the relevant share bears to the total amounts paid and payable in respect of those shares (excluding amounts credited). Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.

Dividends

Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with any special rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Board may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend are to be paid equally on all shares except that a partly paid share confers an entitlement only to the proportion of the dividend which the amount paid (not credited) on a share bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

Future issues of securities

Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of, unissued Shares in the Company at the times and on the terms that the Directors think proper and a share may be issued with preferential or special rights.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other applicable law of Australia, shares are freely transferable.

Meetings and Notices

Each shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend, general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.

17

Election of Directors

There must be a minimum of 3 Directors. A Director must retire from office at the third annual general meeting after the Director was elected or most recently re-elected. These retirement rules do not apply to certain appointments including the managing director. Directors appointed by the Board as additional Directors hold office until the next following annual general meeting and are then eligible for re-election.

Alteration to the Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Listing Rules

Despite anything in the Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision. If the Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision. If a provision of the Constitution is inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

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 regular

reporting and disclosure obligations.

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 enquiries 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 3 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 securities 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:

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

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with 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 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 date of despatch of holding statements for the Bonus Options:
