INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Section is intended to highlight key information for potential investors. It is an overview only, and is not intended to replace the Prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus in full before deciding to invest in Securities.

Key Information Further
Information
Transaction specific prospectus
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of
continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has
been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It
does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering
prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been
had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of
the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be
known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may
consult.
Section 5.5
Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the
Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors
should be aware are set out in Section 4, including (but not limited to) risks
in respect of:

Exploration risk:Mineral exploration is a high-risk undertaking. There
can be no assurance that further exploration on the Company's projects
will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit.

Future capital needs:Further funding will be required by the Company
to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no
assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at
all.

Jurisdictional risks: The Company is subject to the risks of operating a
company in Australia with additional risks through operating projects in
Colombia and Chile, which may include legislative and administrative
regime changes, government policy changes, exploration licensing,
regulatory consents and authorisations, rates of exchange, and potential
economic, social and/or political instability, and break down in law and
order.
Section 4
Rights Issue
This Prospectus is for a renounceable rights issue of 2 New Shares for every
5 existing Shares held by Eligible Shareholders on the Record Date at an
issue price of $0.003 per New Share to raise approximately $1.25 million
(before costs).
Section 1.2
Eligible Shareholders
The Rights Issue is made to Eligible Shareholders only. Eligible Shareholders
are those persons who are the registered holder of Shares as at 5.00pm
(AEDT) on the Record Date and who have a registered address in Australia
or, subject to the offer restrictions in Section 1.14, New Zealand or
Singapore.
Sections 1.2
and 1.14

v

Key Information Further
Information
Underwriting
The Rights Issue is partially underwritten by Director Kevin Wilson, up to
$100,000, being a maximum of 33,333,334 Shares. Mr Wilson is a related
party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company. The
Directors (excluding Mr Wilson), for the reasons outlined in Section 1.7,
believe that the Underwriting Agreement was negotiated at arm's length
and have therefore not sought Shareholder approval.
Section 1.7
Shortfall Offer
Any New Shares not taken up pursuant to the Rights Issue will form the
Shortfall Offer.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shares under the Shortfall Offer subject
to such applications being received by the Closing Date. The issue price for
each New Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.003, being
the price at which New Shares are being offered under the Rights Issue.
The allocation policy for the Shortfall Offer is outlined in Section 1.4. There
is no guarantee that Applicants will receive Shares applied for under the
Shortfall Offer.
Any Shortfall Shares will be allocated firstly to any Eligible Shareholders
who were participants in the Placement, then to other Eligible Shareholders
who apply for Shortfall Shares. Any remaining Shortfall Shares will then be
allocated to any third parties unrelated to the Company, then to Mr Wilson
in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.
Section 1.4
Use of funds
Funds raised under the Rights Issue and Shortfall Offer are intended to be
used primarily to advance the Company's Quinchia Gold Project in Colombia,
and for working capital.
Section 1.5
Placement Options Offer
Subject to the receipt of Shareholder approvals at a general meeting to be
convened shortly, this Prospectus is also for the offer of up to 45,000,000
Placement Options to participants in the Placement, on the basis of 1 free-
attaching Quoted Options for every 3 Shares subscribed for and issued under
the Placement completed 3 October 2018 (Placement Options Offer).
The Placement Options will be issued on the same terms as existing Quoted
Options.
Sections 1.3
Effect on control of the Company
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Rights Issue,
their holdings will be diluted. No investor or existing Shareholder will hold
a voting power greater than 20% as a result of the Offers.
In the unlikely event that no Entitlements are taken up, with the exception
of Mr Wilson's Entitlement, no other Shortfall Shares are issued, and Mr
Wilson is required to subscribe for all of the Underwritten Shares, the
maximum voting power of Mr Wilson and his associates will be
approximately 3.40% (on an undiluted basis).
Section 3.3

1. Details of the Offers

1.1 The Offers

This Prospectus is primarily being issued for the offer of New Shares under the Rights Issue and the Shortfall Offer. This Prospectus is also being issued for the offer of Quoted Options under the Placement Options Offer.

All New Shares issued under this Prospectus will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares proposed to be issued are contained in Section 5.1.

All Quoted Options issued under this Prospectus will be issued on the same terms and conditions as existing Quoted Options as set out in Section 5.2, and all Shares issued on conversion of the Options will rank equally with the then Shares of the Company.

1.2

Rights Issue

The Company is making a renounceable pro rata offer to Eligible Shareholders of New Shares at an issue price of $0.003 each, on the basis of 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares held at 5:00pm (AEDT) on the Record Date ( Rights Issue ).

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has on issue 1,047,548,977 Shares, 502,369,372 Quoted Options, 53,491,278 Unquoted Options and 58,000,000 Performance Rights.

The market price of Shares at the date of this Prospectus is such that it is considered unlikely by the Directors that any of the existing Options will be exercised or any of the Performance Rights will vest before the Record Date. On the basis that no existing Options or Performance Rights are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date, the Rights Issue is for a maximum of 419,019,591 New Shares to raise up to approximately $1,257,059 (before costs).

Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a New Share, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

1.3

Placement and Placement Options Offer

As announced on 3 October 2018, the Company issued a total of 135,000,000 Shares at $0.004 per Share to institutional and sophisticated investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company ( Placement Subscribers ), to raise $540,000 (before costs) ( Placement ). As the issue of the Shares under the Placement occurred prior to the Record Date for the Rights Issue, the Placement Subscribers who are Eligible Shareholders are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

The Placement Subscribers are entitled to be issued 1 free-attaching Quoted Option for every 3 Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement ( Placement Options ), subject to Shareholder approval. The offer of up to 45,000,000 Placement Options to the Placement Subscribers is made pursuant to this Prospectus ( Placement Options Offer ) and is subject to the receipt of relevant Shareholder approval at the General Meeting. The Company intends to issue the Placement Options following receipt of Shareholder approval at the General Meeting.

1

1.4 Shortfall Offer

Any New Shares not taken up pursuant to the Rights Issue will become Shortfall Shares. The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer of the Shortfall Shares made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to 3 months following the Closing Date.

Each of the Shortfall Shares to be granted under the Shortfall Offer shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares being offered under the Rights Issue (including the issue price). Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Rights Issue is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions.

The allocation policy for the issuance of Shortfall Shares will be as follows:

  • (a) Eligible Shareholders who are not related parties of the Company may apply for any Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer in excess of their Entitlement by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Shares using BPAY® (refer to Section 2.7);

  • (b) third parties who are not related parties of the Company may also apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer by completing the relevant Application Form provided by the Company with a copy of this Prospectus;

  • (c) the Shortfall Shares will be allocated in the following order of priority:

  • (i) firstly, to any Placement Subscribers (refer to Section 1.3) in priority to the allocation of any Shortfall Shares applied for by other Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus;

  • (ii) secondly, to any other Eligible Shareholders who are not related parties of the Company;

  • (iii) thirdly, to any third parties unrelated to the Company who apply for Shortfall Shares prior to the Closing Date; and

  • (iv) lastly, any remaining Shortfall Shares will be subscribed for by Mr Kevin Wilson pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to a maximum of the Underwritten Amount;

  • (d) if any Shortfall Shares are remaining after the applications made in accordance with Section 1.4(c) above are satisfied, the Company, in conjunction with Patersons, will place any such remaining Shortfall Shares within 3 months after the close of the Rights Issue; and

  • (e) notwithstanding the above, no Shortfall Shares will be allocated or issued to any related party of the Company (including Directors and their associates (unless pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement)) or to any person to the extent that the Company is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant legislation or law, including without limitation, a breach of section 606 of the Corporations Act.

Subject to the above, the Shortfall Shares are to be issued at the discretion of the Company (in consultation with Patersons) and as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Shares will be issued to Eligible Shareholders or other third parties. Excess Application Monies for the Shortfall Offer will be refunded without interest.

2

It is a term of the Shortfall Offer that, should the Company scale back applications for Shortfall Shares, the Applicant will be bound to accept such lesser number allocated to them.

As announced on 3 October 2018, the Company issued 135 million Shares to Placement Subscribers under the Placement at an issue price of $0.004 per Share (i.e. at a premium to the issue price under the Rights Issue). Funds raised by the Placement were to be used, inter alia, in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition and exploration of a nickel project in the Solomon Islands. As announced on 30 October 2018, the Company has since withdrawn from that proposed acquisition and is now proposing that any Shortfall Shares are first offered to any Eligible Shareholders who were Placement Subscribers in priority to other Applicants.

1.5 Purpose of the Offers and use of funds

Assuming no Options or Performance Rights are exercised into Shares prior to the Record Date, completion of the Offers will result in an increase in cash at hand of up to approximately $1.25 million (before costs). The following indicative table sets out the proposed use of funds raised under the Offers:

Item of expenditure Amount ($'000) %
Advancement of the Quinchia Gold Project 780 62
Corporate costs and working capital1 372 30
Expenses of the Offers2 105 8
TOTAL 1,257 100

Notes:

  1. Includes the general costs associated with the management and operation of the Company's businesses including administration expenses, Director and employee fees, creditor expenses, and other associated costs.

  2. See Section 5.13 for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Offers.

The above is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Prospectus. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied, including market conditions, the development of new opportunities and/or any number of other factors. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

The Placement Options are being issued with disclosure under this Prospectus in order to:

  • (a) remove any secondary sale restrictions that may otherwise attach to such Options; and

  • (b) ensure a disclosure exception is available for the issue of Shares on the exercise of such Options and any on-sale of those Shares in the 12 months from the date of issue, pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/08.

3

1.6 Opening and Closing Dates

For the Rights Issue, the Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms from the opening date of the Offer until 5:00pm AEDT on 14 December 2018 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules ( Closing Date ).

The Shortfall Offer and Placement Options Offer will remain open after the Closing Date, however Eligible Shareholders who wish to participate in the Shortfall Offer should submit their Applications to the Company by no later than the Closing Date. The issue of the Placement Options is conditional on Shareholder approval at the General Meeting.

1.7 Lead Manager and Partial Underwriting

Patersons has been appointed as the lead manager to the Offers. A summary of the terms of the appointment of Patersons is in Section 5.3.

Mr Kevin Wilson has been appointed as a partial underwriter of the Rights Issue. A conditional formal Underwriting Agreement has been agreed between Mr Wilson and the Company which requires Mr Wilson to partially underwrite the Rights Issue up to a total of $100,000 ( Underwritten Amount ), being 33,333,334 Shares ( Underwritten Shares ). A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is contained in Section 5.4.

Please refer to Section 1.4 for details regarding the allocation policy of the Shortfall Offer.

Mr Wilson is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Company has not sought Shareholder approval for the execution of the Underwriting Agreement with Mr Wilson on the basis that it has been negotiated at arm's length and contains standard commercial terms and therefore falls within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

In support of this, the Company advises that:

  • (a) Mr Wilson has been excluded from any discussions by the Board in relation to the Underwriting Agreement;

  • (b) Mr Wilson will not benefit from the proposed use of capital, other than as a holder of Securities; and

  • (c) it is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Wilson) that the period of the Offers gives Shareholders and other investors reasonable opportunity to accept the Offers.

1.8 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offers.

1.9 Rights trading

The Entitlements under the Rights Issue are renounceable. Accordingly, there will be trading of Entitlements on ASX and you may dispose of your Entitlements to subscribe for Securities to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to Shares under the Rights Issue by the Closing Date, the Rights Issue to you will lapse. Trading of Entitlements on ASX is expected to occur in accordance with the timetable.

4

1.10 Issue Date and dispatch

All New Shares under the Rights Issue are expected to be issued on or before the date specified in the proposed timetable in this Prospectus. Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company intends to issue the Quoted Options under the Placement Options Offer and the Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after the General Meeting.

Security holder statements will be dispatched at the end of the calendar month following the issue of the Securities under the Offers. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Securities. Applicants who sell Securities before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.11 Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for New Shares will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the New Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the New Shares are not issued.

1.12

ASX quotation

Application has been or will be made for the Official Quotation of the New Shares and Quoted Options offered by this Prospectus. If permission is not granted by ASX for the Official Quotation of the Securities offered by this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.13 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares and Quoted Options. If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS statement. The CHESS statement will specify the number of Shares and Quoted Options issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares and Quoted Options, including a notice to exercise the Quoted Options.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of Securities issued to you under this Prospectus and your securityholder reference number.

A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

(c) Singapore offer restrictions

This document and any other materials relating to the Securities under the Offers 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 materials in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of Securities under the Offers may not be issued, circulated or distributed, nor may these securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an 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, Chapter 289 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 the Company's Shares. In the event that you are not such a Shareholder, 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 under the Offers being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale

6

restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire Securities under the Offers. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.

(d) Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Investors

No Offers will be made to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Investors. The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Offers to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Investors. The Company has formed this view having considered:

  • (i) the number and value of the Securities that would be offered to those Shareholders; and

  • (ii) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Investors will not be entitled to participate in the Offers.

Patersons has been appointed to arrange for the sale of the Entitlements that would have been given to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and to account for them for the net proceeds of the sale (see Section 1.14(e) for further details).

(e) Sale of Ineligible Foreign Shareholders' rights

Pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 7.7, Patersons has been appointed to sell the rights that would otherwise be held by Ineligible Foreign Shareholders.

Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company will place the Entitlements that would otherwise be issued to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders under a local securityholder reference number and then Patersons will then sell those Entitlements and provide the proceeds of those sales (net of expenses) back to the Company (or the Share Registry). The Company will then distribute to each of those Ineligible Foreign Shareholders their proportion of the proceeds of the sale net of expenses.

The Company will pay Patersons a single fee of $500 for its services in relation to the sale of Ineligible Foreign Shareholders' Entitlements.

Patersons will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements will be sold and the manner of any such sale. Patersons will not and will not be required to individually correspond on any matter with any of the Company's Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. Neither the Company nor Patersons will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements or to sell them at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of Patersons, there is no viable market for the Entitlements of the Ineligible Foreign Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of the sale cannot be obtained from the sale of the Entitlements that would have been offered to the Ineligible Foreign Shareholders, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse.

(f) Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Rights Issue is available only to Eligible Shareholders and that nominees and custodians may

7

not distribute this Prospectus, and may not permit any beneficial Shareholder to participate in the Offers, in any country outside Australia, New Zealand and Singapore except, with the consent of the Company, to beneficial Shareholders resident in certain other countries where the Company may determine it is lawful and practical to make the Offers.

The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Rights Issue is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

1.15 Risk factors

An investment in Securities should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are certain specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are detailed in Section 4.

1.16

Taxation implications

Assumptions for Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position set out above represents the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 adjusted for the following transactions:

  • (a) significant changes since 30 June 2018:

  • (i) payment of $50,000 to Sunshine Minerals Limited as a non-refundable deposit for the acquisition of an interest in the Jejevo Nickel Project. As announced on 30 October 2018, the Company has since withdrawn from the proposed acquisition;

  • (ii) funding ongoing gold exploration operations in Colombia of approximately $1,100,000;

  • (iii) the placement of 135,000,000 Shares at $0.004 each to raise a total of $540,000 on 3 October 2018 ( Placement );

  • (iv) the payment of estimated cash costs in relation to the Placement of $40,000; and

  • (v) movements in working capital from transactions and expenditures incurred in the normal course of business including corporate costs of $711,000; and

  • (b) the effect of the Offers:

  • (i) the issue of 419,019,591 New Shares at an issue price of $0.003 each to raise a total of approximately $1,257,059 in accordance with the Rights Issue and Shortfall Offer under this Prospectus; and

16

(ii) the payment of estimated cash costs in relation to the Offers of $105,000.

The Quoted Options to be issued under the Placement Options Offer are not reflected in the pro forma balance sheet because they are free-attaching Quoted Options to the Shares issued under the Placement and will be issued for nil cash consideration.

3.3 Effect of the Offers on control of the Company

(a) Summary

The maximum total number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Rights Issue is 419,019,591 which will constitute 28.6% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers (assuming no other Shares are issued or Securities exercised or converted to Shares).

Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a person, unless an exception applies, from increasing their voting power in the Company:

(i) from 20% or below to above 20%; or

  • (ii) from a starting point of above 20% and below 90%.

(b) Rights Issue and Shortfall Offer

One of the exceptions to section 606(1) is where that increase occurs as a result of taking up entitlements under a 'rights issue'. The Company intends that the Rights Issue will fall within this exception.

However, an increase in voting power that occurs as a result of acquiring Shares under the Shortfall Offer will not fall within the above exception. Accordingly, no Shares will be issued under the Shortfall Offer if their issue would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. This may result in the Company scaling back applications from Eligible Shareholders to ensure that no breach of section 606 of the Corporations Act occurs.

Notwithstanding the above, if you wish to apply for Shortfall Shares, it is your responsibility to ensure that if you are issued with Shares under the Shortfall Offer you will not be in breach of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. If you are in any doubt as to the consequences of applying for Shares under the Shortfall Offer, you should seek independent legal advice. Further, there is no exception applicable to the acquisition of Shares on the exercise of Options.

As the Rights Issue is renounceable, the Company has appointed Patersons to arrange for the sale of Entitlements that would have been given to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and to account to them for the proceeds of the sale. See Section 1.14(e) for further details.

(c)

Underwriting arrangements

Mr Wilson has agreed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue for up to $100,000 and is a related party of the Company for the purpose of the Corporations Act by virtue of being a Director.

As noted above in Section 1.4, the Underwritten Shares will only be allocated after the allocation of all other Shortfall Shares applied for under the Shortfall Offer prior to the Closing Date.

17

As at the date of this Prospectus, Mr Wilson has a relevant interest in Securities as set out in Section 5.10(b) and has notified the Company that his present intention is not to exercise the Options or Performance Rights in which he has an interest prior to the Rights Issue, but to otherwise take up his full Entitlements.

In the event that Mr Wilson takes up all of his Entitlements and all of the Shortfall Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (and no convertible Securities are exercised into Shares), he and his associates could potentially hold up to 36,905,171 Shares with voting power of up to 3.40% (on an undiluted basis) or up to 99,922,275 Shares with voting power of up to 8.71% (in the unlikely event that only Mr Wilson exercises his Options and Performance Rights). The figures given are post-completion of the Offers, and assume no other Shares are issued or Securities are converted into Shares. However, Mr Wilson's voting power will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by Eligible Shareholders and Shortfall Shares taken up by Eligible Shareholders and other investors.

3.4 Potential dilution

Eligible Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Rights Issue, their holdings are likely to be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

4. Risk Factors

4.1 Risk Factors

The Offers should be considered speculative because of the nature of, amongst other things, the Company's business activities. Consequently, the Company strongly recommends that you consider the risk factors set out in this Section 4.1, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, and that you consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before deciding whether to take up your Entitlement or invest in Securities.

Set out below are a number of specific risks which relate directly to the Company, as well as certain industry and general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company or its Directors. The Company considers that the risks set out in this Section 4.1 may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and, specifically, the market price of the Securities.

The following is a summary of material risks. The list is not exhaustive and you should read it in conjunction with specific matters referred to in previous Company announcements and reports.

(a) Risks specific to the Offers

(i) Risks relating to New Shares

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is listed on the ASX. You should note that if the New Shares and Quoted Options are granted Official Quotation, they will be listed securities for the purposes of the Listing Rules and Corporations Act. Consequently, share market conditions may affect the price of the New Shares and Quoted Options regardless of operating performance. Specifically, local and international stock markets, movements in commodity prices, interest rates, economic conditions and investor sentiment generally may affect the price of the New Shares and Quoted Options.

(ii) Potential for dilution

Upon completion of the Offers, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 1,047,548,977 to 1,466,568,568. This increase equates to approximately 28.6% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offers.

This means that each Share will represent a lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offers and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers and assuming the Offers are fully subscribed, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 28.6% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Please refer to Section 3.4 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Offers may impact Shareholders.

20

(iii) Underwriting risk

The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with Mr Wilson who has agreed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue, subject to certain terms and conditions. Mr Wilson may terminate the Underwriting Agreement if certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, including events that may not be within the Company's control.

If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated and the Offers do not proceed or do not raise the funds required for the Company to meet its stated objectives, the Company would need to find alternative financing to meet its funding requirements. There is no guarantee that alternative funding could be sourced, either at all or on satisfactory terms and conditions. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement could materially adversely affect the Company's business, cash flow and financial position.

(b) Company specific risks

(i) Foreign governments and legal systems

The Colombian and Chilean jurisdictions, where the Company's current operating assets reside, differ from the legal system found in Australia. This could lead to exposure to any or all of the following risks:

  • (A) lack of guidance or interpretation of the applicable rules and regulations; and

  • (B) delays in redress or greater discretion on the part of governmental authorities.

The Company cannot guarantee that joint ventures, licences, licence applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected or even forfeited as a result of the actions of government authorities or others, and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements in these jurisdictions cannot be certain. In addition, political instability and changes in foreign law, including taxation law, may affect the Company's ability to operate successfully, profitably or optimally in foreign jurisdictions.

(ii) Financial risks

The Company may have difficulty in obtaining future equity or debt funding to support exploration programs, evaluation and development of its tenements.

The Company's ability to raise further equity or debt, or to divest part of its interest in a tenement, and the terms of such transactions will vary according to a number of factors, including the success of exploration results and the future development of the tenements, stock market conditions and prices for commodities.

Should it subsequently be established that a mining production operation is technically, environmentally and economically viable, the Company will require substantial additional financing to establish mining operations and production facilities. The Company may not be

21

able to raise the additional finances that may be required for future activities. Commodity prices, environmental regulations, environmental rehabilitation or restitution obligations, revenues, taxes, transportation costs, capital expenditures, operating expenses and technical aspects are all factors which will impact on the amount of additional capital that may be required.

Additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Significantly, any additional equity financing or the exercising of Options, may dilute your existing shareholdings; and debt financing, if available, may restrict financing and future activities. If the Company fails to obtain additional financing, as needed, it may have to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion, forfeit its interest in some or all of its tenements, incur financial penalties and/ or reduce or terminate its operations.

(iii) Financial Liquidity Risk

The Consolidated Group made a loss for the six months ended 30 June 2018 of $5,598,767 after providing for income tax. The Company is an exploration company currently without an operating cash inflow and the net cash position of the Group will continue to decrease until such time as the Group has an operating cash inflow. The net cash outflow used in operating activities for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (including payments for exploration) was $2,559,922. The unaudited cash balance at 30 June 2018 was $1,705,998. These conditions give rise, in the view of the Company's auditor and as disclosed in the Company's half year financial report to 30 June 2018, to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the material uncertainty, the Directors are of the opinion, having made considered and careful enquiry, that there are reasonable grounds to form the view that the Company will, taking into account the successfully completed Placement and the Rights Issue, have sufficient working capital for its present requirements and be able to maintain access to capital markets as and when needed.

In forming this view the Directors have considered in detail a number of potential scenarios including cash raised from the Placement, potential funds raised pursuant to the Rights Issue and asset sales and the restructure of the Company's operations. In addition, funds raised pursuant to the exercise of Options may provide further funding.

(iv)

Claim in respect of historical matters

The Company was incorporated on 18 May 2006 and has been involved in numerous different negotiations, projects, companies and joint ventures during its history. The Company is therefore subject to the risk of any claims being brought against the Company in respect of such historical activities.

The Company is aware that a former director and chief executive officer of one of the Company's subsidiaries (Miraflores Compania Minera SAS (previously Minera Seafield SAS)) previously lodged a claim with the Labour Court in Medellin (Juzgado Laboral del Circuito de

22

Medellin) seeking termination payments, unpaid bonus payments and damages in the amount of approximately US$2 million. The Directors are of the opinion that the claim can be successfully defended and believe that the risk of the Company facing an unfavourable judgement is remote. The next court hearing is expected to occur in November 2019. The Company intends to defend the proceeding and will keep the market informed of developments as they transpire.

(v) Loss of key management personnel

The Company's success largely depends upon key management personnel for the management of the Company as well as upon other management and technical personnel for the daily operation of the Company. Consequently, there is a possibility that the Company will be adversely affected, particularly in respect of the rate at which its exploration programs and tenements are developed or prioritised, if one or more of the key management personnel cease their employment.

(vi) Insurance risks

Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the costs can be prohibitive. 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 materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results.

(vii) Transactional Risks

The Company intends to divest its non-core assets. This can be impacted by many risks beyond the control of the Company including market risks which itself is impacted by business cycles, political, government and regulatory risks amongst others. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to divest its assets, or achieve reasonable prices for these assets, or complete these transactions in any timeframe.

(c) Mining industry risks

(i) Exploration costs

The exploration costs of the Company are premised upon a number of assumptions and estimates as regards the method and timing of exploration. These assumptions and estimates are, by their nature, speculative and subject to a number of uncertainties. Consequently, the Company does not give any assurance that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may adversely affect the Company's viability.

(ii) Exploration success

There is a significant risk that the Company's proposed exploration programs will not result in exploration success. Mineral exploration is, by its nature, a high-risk endeavour. The Company's exploration programs, or any other projects that it may acquire in the future,

23

may not result in the discovery of a commercially viable economic mineral deposit.

The success of the Company's exploration programs is dependent on many factors such as:

  • (A) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore reserves;

  • (B) successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;

  • (C) access to adequate capital for project development;

  • (D) the design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;

  • (E) securing and maintaining title to tenements;

  • (F) access to markets for saleable products;

  • (G) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;

  • (H) obtaining the social licence needed to explore, develop and operate a project;

  • (I) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees;

  • (J) adverse weather conditions can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues; and

  • (K) other risk factors including costs, nature and disposition of actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices may affect successful project development and mining operations.

(iii) Ability to exploit successful discoveries

Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that the Company can economically exploit it. That is, it may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in any areas in which it has an interest because such exploitation may require further intensive capital input as well as further licences, mining concessions and clearances from relevant authorities. The Company notes that it may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied.

(iv)

Title and tenure

The Company's exploration and development activities are contingent on obtaining and maintaining necessary licences and permits under the applicable jurisdiction. Renewal of licences and permitting for exploration and mining activities may be subject to objections from various parties including local or regional community groups and surface or native title holders as well as local, state and federal

24

government and non-government agencies. If renewal and/or permitting for whatever reason is delayed or not granted, or granted with onerous conditions, or subsequently revoked, the Company may suffer a loss of the opportunity to develop and/or further explore affected projects.

(v)

Social Licence

In order to explore, develop or operate in communities, the general acceptance of certain stakeholder populations may be required. This may include formal agreements that can require extended negotiations with large numbers of stakeholders, for example indigenous communities and groups with native title rights. There can be no guarantee these negotiations will be concluded successfully or not be protracted and cause significant delay to the Company's plans.

(vi)

Environmental

Mining and exploration has become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability in Australia, Colombia and Chile. The potential for liability is an ''ever present" risk. The use and disposal of chemicals in the mining industry is under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. Consistent with this, the Company may be required, in some cases, to undertake baseline environmental studies prior to certain exploration or mining activities, so that the environmental impact can be monitored and, as far as possible, minimised. The discovery of any endangered species of fauna and flora may impact upon the Company's ability to freely explore or develop its tenements.

There is no guarantee that nature reserves or parks will not be decreed by government agencies in the areas in which the Company works. These could constrain the Company's ability to operate on its existing or future licences.

(vii)

Commodity prices

Commodity prices are influenced by physical and investment demand for those commodities. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence individual projects in which the Company has an interest as well as the Company's ability to raise capital.

(viii) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, it 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 business.

(ix)

Litigation

All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the

25

litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company's activities. Refer to Section 4.1(b)(iv) for details of the current litigation claim the Company is involved in.

(d)

General Risks

  • (i) Share market and commodity price volatility

Share market conditions may affect listed securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (A) general economic outlook;

  • (B) movements in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (C) currency fluctuations;

  • (D) commodity prices;

  • (E) changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and

the demand for, and supply of, capital.

Such factors may impact the price of the Shares currently on issue as well as the New Shares and Quoted Options.

(ii) Economic factors

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand, business cycles and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market processes. The Company's future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

(iii)

Government

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation, regulation and other laws or the breakdown of law and order can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

(iv) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares and Options may have tax consequences which are contingent upon the circumstances of individual Shareholders. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for the New Shares or Quoted Options.

26

4.2 Speculative Investment

The above list of risk factors should not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or you as an investor in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may materially affect the Company's future financial performance and the value of the New Shares and Quoted Options. Therefore, the New Shares and Quoted Options carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

You should consider an investment in the Company as speculative and should consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for your Entitlement or any Securities under the Offers.

27

5. Additional information

5.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

(a) General meetings

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

The Directors may convene a general meeting whenever they think fit. The Constitution does not permit Shareholders to call a general meeting, although Shareholders may call a general meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

A notice of general meeting must be given in accordance with the Corporations Act and must specify the place, date and time of the meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, information regarding a Shareholder’s right to appoint a proxy, and if a special resolution is to be proposed at the meeting, set out an intention to propose the special resolution and the text of the special resolution.

The quorum for a meeting of the Shareholders is two Shareholders and the quorum must be present at all times during the meeting.

(b) Voting

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of Shares whether by the terms of their issue, the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, at a general meeting every Shareholder present in person or by a representative has one vote on a show of hands and every Shareholder present in person or by a representative, proxy or attorney has one vote per Share on a poll. Where there are two or more joint Shareholders and more than one of them is present at a meeting and tenders a vote in respect of the Share (whether in person or by proxy or attorney), the Company will count only the vote cast by the Shareholder whose name appears before the other(s) in the Company’s register.

(c) Alteration of Capital

Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company in general meeting may increase, divide, consolidate or reduce its share capital if it complies with the Constitution, Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

28

(d) Variation of rights

Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to the shares in any class may be altered only by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least three quarters of the issued shares of the affected class.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable.

The Shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with ASX Settlement Rules, by any other method of transferring or dealing introduced by ASX and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a written instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by the Directors or the ASX.

The Company must not prevent, delay or in any way interfere with the registration of a proper ASX Settlement transfer. However, the Company may decline to register a transfer of Shares in the circumstances described in the Constitution and where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Company declines to register a transfer, the Company must, within five business days after the transfer is lodged with the Company, give the lodging party written notice of the refusal and the reasons for refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer of Shares when required by law, the Constitution, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Rules.

(f) Dividends

The Directors, subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, may determine that a dividend is payable and fix the amount, the time for payment, and the method of payment. The Directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company, such sums as they think proper as reserves, which may be used in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors think fit.

5.2 Terms and conditions of Quoted Options

The rights attaching to the Quoted Options are regulated by the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law. The following is a summary of the key terms of the Quoted Options:

  • (a) the Company will, in accordance with Listing Rule 2.8, make an application to have the Options listed for Official Quotation on the ASX;

  • (b) each Option will have an exercise price of $0.011;

  • (c) each Option will automatically lapse if not exercised on or before 1 June 2020;

  • (d) each Option shall entitle the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one ordinary share in the capital of the Company upon exercise of the Option and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price;

29

  • (e) an Option may be exercised by the option holder at any time during the Exercise Period by sending a completed and signed notice of exercise, together with the payment of the Exercise Price to the Company;

  • (f) a notice of exercise is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cash or cleared funds;

  • (g) subject to any restrictions in the Listing Rules, within 10 business days of receipt of a property executed notice of exercise and the required exercise moneys, the number of Shares specified in the notice will be allotted;

  • (h) Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Options will rank equally with the then issued ordinary shares of the Company;

  • (i) the Company undertakes to apply for Official Quotation of all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of any Options, within 10 business days of the date of allotment of those Shares;

  • (j) there will be no participating entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to Shareholders, holders of Options will be notified by the Company and will be afforded seven (7) business days before the relevant record date (to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise the Options;

  • (k) in the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, cancellation or return) of the issued capital of the Company before the expiry of any Options, all rights of the Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation;

  • (l) if from time to time before the expiry of the Options the Company makes an issue of Shares to Shareholders by way of a bonus issue, other than in lieu of a dividend payment, then upon exercise of an Option the Option holder will be entitled to have issued to it (in addition to the Shares which it is otherwise entitled to have issued to it upon such exercise) additional Shares in the Company. The number of additional Shares is the number of Shares which would have been issued to the option holder if the New Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (m) the Options do not confer the right to a change in the Exercise Price, or a change to the number of underlying securities over which it can be exercised, other than under Sections 5.2(k) and 5.2(l) above.

5.3 Lead Manager Mandate

Patersons has been appointed as Lead Manager for the Offers pursuant to a mandate letter dated 19 November 2018 ( Lead Manager Mandate ).

Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay Patersons with the following on completion of the Offers:

  • (a) ( issue management fee ): an issue management fee of 2% on the total amount raised by the Rights Issue;

  • (b) ( selling fee ): a selling fee of 4% on the gross amount raised by the Shortfall Offer, excluding the Underwritten Amount; and

30

  • (c) ( corporate advisory fee ): a retainer of $5,000 per month for a period of 6 months following completion of the Rights Issue for corporate advisory services.

The Company has agreed not to offer, sell or market, contract to sell, otherwise dispose of or announce the sale, directly or indirectly, of any Shares or other Securities, and to use its best endeavours to ensure that no Director or their associates will sell, dispose or transfer any Securities held by them as at the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Patersons for a period of 6 months commencing on the closing date of the Rights Issue. In addition, the Company has agreed to grant Patersons a role to manage or participate in any future equity or quasi equity capital raisings conducted within 12 months of the Lead Manager Mandate.

The Company has agreed to indemnify Patersons and its officers, employees, agents and advisers jointly and severally and hold them harmless from and against all prosecutions, losses, penalties, actions, suits, claims, expenses, costs (including legal costs and disbursements on a full indemnity basis), liabilities, charges, outgoings, payments, demands and proceedings suffered, incurred, paid or liable to be paid directly or indirectly in connection with the Rights Issue or the Lead Manager Mandate. This is limited to losses other than losses caused from the wilful default, fraud, negligence or breach of contract of Patersons or an indemnified party.

The Lead Manager Mandate contains various representations and warranties made by Patersons and the Company which are customary in such agreements.

5.4 Underwriting Agreement

Mr Wilson has agreed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement up to the Underwritten Amount.

Mr Wilson will not be paid any underwriting fee but will be reimbursed an amount equivalent to all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Mr Wilson in relation to the Rights Issue. Such costs and expenses are not to exceed $2,000 without prior approval of the Company.

The Underwriting Agreement is subject to customary termination events, where Mr Wilson may terminate the Underwriting Agreement by the provision of written notice on the occurrence of certain events set out in the Underwriting Agreement, including (but not limited to those set out below):

  • (a) Adverse change : any adverse change occurs which materially impacts or is likely to impact the assets, operational or financial position of the Company or a related corporation (including but not limited to an administrator, receiver, receiver and manager, trustee or similar official being appointed over any of the assets or undertaking of the Company or a related corporation);

  • (b) Alteration of capital structure or constitution : the Company alters its capital structure or its constitution without the prior written consent of Mr Wilson;

  • (c) Banking facilities : the Company's bankers terminate or issue any demand or penalty notice or amend the terms of any existing facility or claim repayment or accelerated repayment of any facility or require additional security for any existing facility;

  • (d) Default: the Company is in default of any of the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement or breaches any warranty or covenant given or made by it under the Underwriting Agreement; or

31

  • (e) Due diligence : there is a material omission from the results of the due diligence investigation performed in respect of the Offers or the results of the investigation or the verification material are false or misleading.

The Underwriting Agreement contains a number of indemnities, representations and warranties from the Company to Mr Wilson and additional provisions, considered standard for underwriting agreements of this nature.

5.5

Company is a disclosing entity

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making the information available to the securities market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions), to notify ASX once it is, or becomes aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares.

The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors' statement and report, and an audit review or report. Copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office (see Section 5.6 below).
