- (iv) if you do not wish to accept all or part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything.
(c) Payment options
- (i) BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
(A) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
-
(B) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the unique customer reference number ( CRN ) specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
9
- (ii) Electronic Funds Transfer
For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ), please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Multiple acceptances must be paid separately. You should be aware of your financial institution’s cut-off time and any associated fees with processing an EFT. It is your responsibility to ensure funds are submitted correctly by the Closing Date and processed in time. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:
-
(A) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
-
(B) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies.
Please ensure you use your unique entitlement reference number when submitting your payment, this can be located in section 3 of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. This will ensure your payment is processed correctly. Failure to do so may result in your funds not being allocated to your application and your Entitlement subsequently not being issued.
- (iii) Payment by cheque or cash will not be accepted.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment of application monies is received by the share registry by no later than 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Securities will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.
1.5 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form part of the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Securities ). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Closing Date of the Offer.
The issue price for each New Shares to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.04 being the price at which New Shares have been offered under the Offer. New Options will be issued under the Shortfall Offer on the same terms and ratio as New Options offered under the Offer.
Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Shortfall Securities regardless of the size of their present holding by completing the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Separate application forms may be provided, together with a copy of this Prospectus, to other investors who are not currently Shareholders who are invited to participate in the Shortfall Offer. It is possible that there may be few or no Shortfall Securities available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders. There is also no guarantee that in the event Shortfall Securities are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.
10
The Directors (in consultation with the Lead Manager) reserve the right to issue Shortfall Securities at their absolute discretion, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. As such there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Shortfall Offer will receive any Shortfall Securities applied for under the Shortfall Offer.
The Directors reserve the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject or scale back an Application for Shortfall Securities, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Securities. In that event, Application Monies will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act. The Company will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer.
All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors in consultation with the Lead Manager. It is presently intended that Shortfall Securities will be allocated as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement; and then
-
(b) to other parties identified by the Directors and Lead Manager, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.
No New Securities will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.
No Securities will be issued to an applicant under this Prospectus or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Securities would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. Similarly, no Securities will be issued via the Shortfall Offer to any related parties of the Company.
1.6 Non-renounceable
The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.
1.7 Effect on control of the Company
Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.
Further, as set out In Section 1.5, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation of the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Shares on issue on completion of the Offer.
There will be no change to any Shareholder’s voting power as a result of the issue of the New Options. Where New Options are exercised into Shares, the voting power of the Shareholders who exercise the New Options will increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the price of Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.
1.8 Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
11
1.9 Potential dilution
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 33.33% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 42.85% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus but excluding the exercise of any other Options).
Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record Date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlement | % if full Entitlement taken up |
% if no Entitlement taken up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 4,000,000 | 6.00% | 2,000,000 | 6.00% | 4.00% |
| Shareholder 2 | 3,000,000 | 4.50% | 1,500,000 | 4.50% | 3.00% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,000,000 | 1.50% | 500,000 | 1.50% | 1.00% |
| Shareholder 4 | 700,000 | 1.05% | 350,000 | 1.05% | 0.70% |
| Shareholder 5 | 500,000 | 0.75% | 250,000 | 0.75% | 0.50% |
Note : The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer. Percentages have been calculated on the basis of there being 66,715001 Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus and 100,072,502 Shares on issue on completion of the Offer. Refer to Section 3.4 for further details of the Company’s capital structure.
1.10 ASX Listing
Application for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three (3) months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares offered for subscription under this Prospectus.
1.11 Issue of Securities
The New Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
12
Where the number of New Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made surplus application monies will be refunded without an interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable.
Pending the allotment and issue of the New Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for the New Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer (if any) as soon as practicable after their issue.
1.12 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company is a participant in Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System ( CHESS ), for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
1.13 Risks
As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company are detailed in Section 2 of this Prospectus. The Securities on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.
1.14 Overseas Shareholders
The Offer and Shortfall Offer do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand or Singapore.
13
In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Failure to comply with these restrictions may violate securities laws. Applicants who are residents in countries other than Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Shortfall Offer, or to otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities under the Shortfall Offer in any jurisdiction outside Australia.
New Zealand
The Offer (and Shortfall Offer) is not being made to the public in New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the Offer is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.
This document has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.
Singapore
This document and any other materials relating to the Securities have not been, and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus in Singapore with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this document and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of Securities, may not be issued, circulated or distributed, nor may the Securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore except pursuant to and in accordance with exemptions in Subdivision (4) Division 1, Part XIII of the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore ( SFA ), or as otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of any other applicable provisions of the SFA.
This document has been given to you on the basis that you are an existing holder of Shares. In the event that you are not an existing holder, please return this document immediately. You may not forward or circulate this document to any other person in Singapore.
Any offer is not made to you with a view to the Securities being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire Securities. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.
Nominees and custodians
Shareholders resident in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident in other jurisdictions are responsible for ensuring that applying for Securities under the Offer (or Shortfall Offer) does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form (or Shortfall Offer Application Form) will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

2. RISK FACTORS
2.1 Introduction
As with any investment in Securities, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its investors are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Securities.
Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
2.2 Company specific
(a) Limited history
The Company was incorporated on 29 October 2018 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.
(b) Future capital requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term.
In order for the Company to successfully develop its projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, 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 the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a
17
result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.
(c) New projects and acquisitions
The Company may actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the current projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
2.3 Industry specific risks
(a) Title risk
Interests in all tenements in Western Australia and New South Wales are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
(b) Exploration and development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.
Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, adverse government policy, geological conditions, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and
18
obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its projects.
(c)
Operating risk
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 projects. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(d)
Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(e) Payment obligations
Pursuant to the tenements comprising the Company’s projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees.
(f)
Metals and currency price volatility
The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of rare earth elements. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of rare earth elements and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.
The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for rare earth elements that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, forward selling
19
by producers and production cost levels in major mineral- producing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Metals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.
(g) Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although 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, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
Some of the Company's competitors 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. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
(h) Native title risks
There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Company’s tenements or in the vicinity.
The existence of native title claims over the area covered by the Company’s tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Company’s tenements provided the Company’s tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.
However, if any of Company’s tenements were not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities. There is nothing in our enquiries to indicate that any of the Company’s tenements were not validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
(i)
Aboriginal Heritage Risk
There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Company’s tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Company’s tenements.
20
(j) Third party risks
Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of thirdparty interests which overlay areas within the Company’s tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Company’s tenements.
Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
(k)
Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to state and federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.
Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.
Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
(l) Licences, permits and approvals
The Company holds (legally and/or beneficially) exploration licences and applications. However, many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental
21
approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.
(m) Reliance on key personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.
It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.
(n) Conflicts of interest
Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exist actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons and other companies could detract from their efforts on behalf of the Company.
2.4 General risks
(a) Economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
(b) Market conditions
The New Shares to be granted under this Prospectus are intended to be quoted on the ASX. The market price of the New Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.
Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
22
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c)
Force majeure
The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.
(d) Government and legal risk
Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.
The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.
(e) Litigation risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(f) Insurance risks
The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
(g) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of New Securities (or exercise of New Options into Shares) will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to
23
obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring New Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for New Securities under this Prospectus.
(h)
Climate change risks
Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
-
(i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
-
(ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
(i)
Infectious diseases
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.
2.5 Speculative Investment
The above list of risk factors ought 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 the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Potential investors should consider that investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Securities under this Prospectus.

4. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares underlying the New Options being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. All New Shares issued under this Prospectus (and on exercise of the New Options) will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing 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.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b)
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one (1) vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one (1) vote for each Share held.
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue or rights of any shares with special rights to dividends, the Directors may determine or declare that a dividend is payable, fix the amount and the time for payment and authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to, or at the direction of, each Member entitled to that dividend. The Directors may rescind or alter any such determination or declaration before payment is made.
Interest is not payable by the Company on a dividend.
The Directors may resolve to capitalise any sum, being the whole or a part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve account or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to Members; and may, but need not, resolve to apply the sum in any of the ways mentioned in the Constitution
28
for the benefit of Members in the proportions to which those Members would have been entitled in a distribution of that sum by way of dividend.
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Directors may determine for any dividend which it is proposed to pay on any shares of the Company that holders of the shares may elect to forego the right to share in the proposed dividend or part of such proposed dividend, and to receive instead an issue of shares credited as fully paid on such terms as the Directors think fit.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the Company’s property, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of shareholders.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued under the Offer (and upon exercise of New Options) will be fully paid shares at the time of issue, they will not be subject to any calls for further moneys by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of, or failure to observe the provisions of, a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the Directors’ control. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
(i) Alteration of Constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
5.1 Nature of this Prospectus
This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. This enables listed disclosing entities, such as the Company, to issue a prospectus for continuously quoted securities (and options to acquire continuously quoted securities) with modified disclosure requirements if they satisfy certain requirements.
The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offer and the information reasonably necessary to make an informed assessment of:
-
(a) the effect of the Offer on the Company; and
-
(b) the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus (and the underlying Shares issued on exercise of the New Options).
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest in the Company.
5.2
Continuous reporting and disclosure obligations
As the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX, the Company is a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose to the market any information it has which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.
Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.
By virtue of section 713 of the Corporations Act, the Company is entitled to issue a “transaction-specific” prospectus in respect of the Offer.
In general terms, a “transaction-specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company states that:
- (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
32
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office 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 Closing Date:
-
(i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report of the Company lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and
-
(iii) all continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC (see below).
As at the date of this Prospectus, there is no information which has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules that investors or their professional advisers:
-
(a) would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:
-
(i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and
-
(ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Securities the subject of this Prospectus; and
-
(b) would reasonably expect to find in this Prospectus.
This Prospectus contains information specific to the Offer. If investors require further information in relation to the Company, they are recommended to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of the documents referred to above.
