  • repay all application monies received with respect to the Offer; or a)
  • give the applicants a supplementary or replacement prospectus and one month to withdraw their b) applications and be repaid: or

The fact that ASX may grant quotation of the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares.

Taxation Implications

The directors do not consider it appropriate to give potential applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Shares as it is not feasible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of potential applicants. The Company, Manager to the Offer and their respective advisers and officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to potential applicants as a result of subscriptions for Shares under the Offer. Potential applicants should, therefore, consult their own professional advisers in connection with the taxation implications of applying for Shares.

Non-Residents

Non-Residents should consult their professional advisers as to whether any formalities need to be observed (either by themselves or the Company) to enable them to subscribe for Shares. It is the responsibility of the Non-Residents to obtain all necessary approvals so they may legally subscribe for (and be issued) the Shares. The return of a completed application form from a Non-Resident applicant will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that the Company may legally issue the Shares to the applicant.

CHESS (Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System)

The Company will apply to ASX to participate in 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.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors and securities can be transferred without relying on paper documentation. Investors will be provided with a statement that sets out the number of Shares allotted to them under this prospectus. The notice also advises holders of their Holder Identification Number and explains the sale procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly, to the Company's Manager to the Offer or to the Share Registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a shareholder, facilitate the distribution of payments and corporate communications to you as a security holder, and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons in the inspection of the Company's register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Share Registry.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Purpose of the Offer

The Purpose of the Offer is to raise up to \$4,000,000 (before costs of the Offer) which, assuming full subscription, will provide the Company with sufficient funds to satisfy the initial acquisition price to purchase the Gidgee Gold Mine Project (\$2,000,000), to continue with the Company's exploration objective and to retire creditor debt.

In the event the Company only raises the Minimum Subscription, the funds will be utilised in purchasing the initial acquisition cost of \$2,000,000 for the Gidgee Gold Mine Project and paying costs of the Offer. In the event only minimum subscription is raised, the expenditure on exploration, debt retirement (approximately \$250,000) and the Company's ongoing working capital requirements will be funded by cash flow, debt or equity, or a combination thereof.

THE GIDGEE GOLD MINE

The main highlights for Legend in acquiring the Gidgee Gold Mine Project are as follows :-

  • Legend moves from silver to gold producer by acquisition of Gidgee Gold Mine $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$
  • Over 1 million ounces already mined from the project area, north of Sandstone
  • 122,979 ounces of gold poured in the last two years
  • Mining revenue of \$9,300,000 for September 2003 Quarter (as reported by Abelle)
  • Resources of 515,000 ounces of gold as at 30 June 2003
  • 600,000 tpa CIP plant
  • Over 600 square kilometres of greenstone belt with excellent potential
  • Total acquisition costs of \$6,500,000 (including bonds of \$2,000,000)

The project covers over 600km2 of the highly prospective Gum Creek greenstone belt and includes a 600,000tpa CIP plant and fly in fly out campsite, an operating gold mine and a substantial resource/reserve inventory.

During the September 2003 quarter, the Gidgee mine generated a cash operating surplus for Abelle of \$A3.44 million from revenue of \$A9.3 million, producing a total of 17,065 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of \$A345/oz.

This opportunity for Legend to acquire such a quality mining asset reflects the direct intent of Abelle's directors to focus its efforts on its core business activities in Papua New Guinea whilst retaining an interest in non-core assets through substantial shareholdings in the acquiring entity.

* consideration to be satisfied from the proceeds of this raising.

Legend will seek shareholder approval for the acquisition of the Gidgee Gold Mine Project at a meeting to be held on the 15 December 2003 as well as consequential approval for this capital raising. If shareholders approve the transaction, Legend will take over the operation of the Project on payment of the first \$1.5 million. The total acquisition price is \$6.5 million, which includes replacement of Department of Industry and Resources ("DOIR") bonds (\$2,000,000), gold in circuit, and stores. The exact distribution of gold in circuit and stores will be calculated on handover expected to be a few days after shareholder approval.

The initial cash component of approximately \$2,000,000 made up of the first payment of \$1.5 million and payment for gold in circuit and stores) is to be met by this Offer.

The final payment of up to \$1.5 million ( $30th$ June 2004) will be met by either cash flow generation, debt or equity or a combination thereof. A final decision will be made in respect of this element of the consideration by the $31^{\text{st}}$ March 2004. (Abelle has agreed to reduce this payment by \$200,000 if paid on or before the 31st March $2004$ ).

In respect of the DOIR bonds Abelle currently has in place bonds to the value of approximately \$2,000,000. Legend will endeavour to replace the appropriate bonds through a bank guarantee security or other sources on the plant ranking above the security to Abelle in respect of the final payment of \$1.5 million.

A summary of the agreement with Abelle is set out below:-

By offer to purchase dated 6 November 2003, Legend offered to purchase from Abelle, its 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Gidgee Gold Mine Project comprising approximately 600km2 of mining and exploration tenements together with project infrastructure. The infrastructure includes (without limitation) the Gold Treatment Plant, access infrastructure, an on-site laboratory, work shops, administration facilities, tailings facilities, underground mine, stock-piles, reserves and resources.

The sale and purchase is on a walk in walk out basis, free of encumbrances other than as expressly noted.

The Agreement is conditional upon:-

  • any necessary Governmental consent and approval; $a -$
  • b. approval of Abelle shareholders pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules (if required); and
  • c. approval of Legend shareholders pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules.

Possession and transfer of legal title passes to Legend on completion. On and from completion, Legend releases, indemnifies and holds harmless Abelle from and against all environmental liabilities which accrue before on or after the completion date, and all other liabilities arising after the completion date.

Under the Offer, Legend noted its intention to make offers of employment to all Gidgee employees and take an assignment of the Byrnecut underground mining contract, the mine site catering contract, the Powerwest power supply contract and all other material operating contracts, when applicable. Abelle agreed to pay all accrued entitlements to each employee employed at the Gidgee Gold Project as at the completion date.

A formal agreement is to be entered into within 30 days of acceptance, which occurred on 7 November 2003.

Abelle has given certain warranties which are considered usual to an acquisition and which include express warranties that:-

  • the sale assets are held legally and beneficially by Abelle free from encumbrance except as disclosed or as appearing on public searches;

  • Abelle is not in breach of the material operating contracts:
  • $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$ the Tenements, Lease hold interest, Licence, Permits and Authorities are in good standing.

Abelle has made no warranty as to pro-rata compliance with minimum expenditure commitments or Native Title.

Legend acknowledges that without prejudice to its reliance on the warranties, it has made its own inquiries and relies on its own judgement in entering into the Agreements.

Risks of Investing

Mining and exploration, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery and extraction of economically recoverable mineral resources, obtaining and maintaining the necessary titles and other government regulatory approvals, obtaining and servicing of funding arrangements and otherwise funding the mining and exploration operations and the establishment of efficient mining operations.

The value of the Company's securities is likely to fluctuate depending on various factors including the success of its mining operation and exploration programmes, the general economic and stock market conditions in Australia and worldwide, the price of gold and other commodities, exchange rates, and unexpected variations in mining, development and operating costs. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control.

Factors which impact upon the operational success include the ability to extract and sell or process and sell the product at a price higher than the production costs, the outcome of exploration for and identification of reserves, satisfactory performance of mining operation which can be influenced by industrial actions, adverse weather conditions, geotechnical consideration, contractual and title disputes, management practices and proper mining procedures and the availability of adequate funding. Unforeseen and un-scheduled operational and maintenance problems and disruptions can occur at any time.

Current mill feed at the Gidgee Gold Mine Project is from the underground Swan Bitter mine, and from lowgrade stockpiles. Mining will deplete the remaining Ore Reserves within one year unless extended by the conversion of Resources to Ore Reserves or they are able to be replaced as a result of exploration success.

The Company will require additional capital to fund further exploration/development of the Company's existing or new projects. The Company's ability to raise sufficient further capital within an acceptable time frame and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors including (without limitation):-

  • prospectivity of new projects (if any), $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$
  • the results of exploration and subsequent feasibility studies,
  • stock market and industry conditions, $\bullet$
  • the price of relevant commodities. $\bullet$

No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funding is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be further able to develop its projects.

The above statement of risk factors is by way of illustration only. There are numerous other risk factors inherent in an investment in the Company's securities and there can be no assurance whatsoever that a return on investment will be obtained by investing in the Company's securities or that the investment therein will not be lost. Further, an investment in the Company's securities should be considered in light of recent world events, which have had a significant impact on the stability of financial markets in Australia and worldwide and the ultimate consequences of which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
