SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS

To a Prospectus dated 19 February 2003 being a pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement Issue to Existing Shareholders of approximately 14,078,221 New Shares on the basis of one (1) New Share for every three (3) Shares held at the Record Date to raise up to approximately \$422,346.00 (Rights Issue Prospectus).

This Supplementary Prospectus supplements the Rights Issue Prospectus referred to above. To the extent of inconsistency between this Supplementary Prospectus and the Rights Issue Prospectus, the provisions of this Supplementary Prospectus will prevail.

$\mathbf{I}$

$11$ INTRODUCTION

The Company has prepared this Supplementary Prospectus to provide shareholders with further information about:-

  • a) how moneys raised by the Entitlement Issue are to be allocated to working capital and exploration to upgrade existing gold resources at Carlow Castle; and
  • b) the effect on the Company should the Entitlements Issue not be fully subscribed

$2^{\circ}$ MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION

The Entitlements Issue is subject to a minimum subscription of \$120,000.00. No New Shares will be issued and allotted until the minimum subscription is reached. If the minimum subscription is not reached within 4 months of the date of this Supplementary Prospectus then all application monies will be returned to the applicant without interest.

3. PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE AND EFFECT ON THE COMPANY

Monies raised by this Entitlements Issue will be used for working capital and further exploration of the Company's Carlow Castle Project with the objective of expanding the current gold-copper resource base.

If the Entitlements Issue is fully subscribed then the monies raised will be utilised as follows:

Administration and legal fees for the Prospectus \$10,000.00
Working capital \$190,346.00
Carlow Castle Exploration \$222,000.00
(comprising)
Surface exploration/GIS \$27,000
Geochemistry/geophysics \$36,000
RC drilling \$125,000
Field and staff costs \$25,500
Tenement rents and costs \$8,500
\$422,346.00

However, if only the minimum subscription is reached then the funds raised (\$120,000.00) will be used solely to pay fees for the Prospectus and for working capital. The Company will not carry out work on the Carlow Castle project and may apply for exemption from expenditure conditions for the relevant tenement year. The extent of the programme for Carlow Castle will be tailored to utilise available funds should monies be raised in excess of the minimum subscription but less than the full amount sought to be raised by the Entitlements Issue. For example, the Company will give first priority to surface exploration but proposed activities may change subject to exploration results.

No funds raised by the Entitlements Issue will be used to re-pay any non-current liabilities, which includes the amount of \$255,860.00 referred to in section 3.1 (e) of the Rights Issue Prospectus.

If the Company only raises the minimum subscription then the Directors are satisfied that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its current liabilities. However, the situation will be monitored carefully and the Company will need to raise further monies to fund continuing exploration of Carlow Castle, ongoing Company operations and project acquisitions. If the minimum subscription is not reached then the Company will need to raise funds from alternative sources and to negotiate with creditors, which include directors of the Company, in order to remain as a going concern.
