The exercise price of the Options is 15 cents and the expiry date is 31 December 2011. The full terms of the Options are set out in section 5.2.

Lindian Resources Limited Prospectus
Page 7
2.10 Overseas Shareholders
The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand because of the cost and administrative complexity of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.
2.11 Offer in New Zealand
The Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations 2001. In New Zealand, this is Part 5 of the Securities Act 1978 and the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008.
The Offer and the content of the Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act sets out how the Offer must be made.
There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law.
The rights, remedies and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian securities may differ from the rights, remedies and compensation arrangements for New Zealand securities.
Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to the Offer. If you need to make a complaint about the Offer, please contact the Securities Commission, Wellington, New Zealand. The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of Australian securities is not the same as for New Zealand securities.
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the securities is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the securities will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant. If you expect the securities to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
As stated in section 2.8 of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted the Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on ASX. If you wish to trade the securities through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the securities on your behalf. If the securities market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to investors. Instead, Shareholders receive a statement of their holdings in the Company. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASTC will send a CHESS statement.
2.13 Risk Factors
Investors should carefully read the risk factors outlined in section 4. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, some of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates.
2.14 Rights Attaching to Shares and Options
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares and Options is set out in section 5

4. RISK FACTORS
4.1 Introduction
An investment in the securities the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative as the Company is a minerals exploration company with projects located in Guinea and subject to shareholder approval, the Philippines.
The Board recommends that investors consider the risks described below and information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, as well as consulting with their professional advisers before deciding whether or not to apply for the securities.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of the risks that may have a material effect on the financial position and performance of the Company and the value of its securities, as well as the Company's exploration, any development and mining activities and an ability to fund those activities.
The specific risks below are some of the risks specific to the Company including by reason of its involvement in the resource industry. The general investment risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a general economic nature.
4.2 Specific Risks
Bundok acquisition risk
The Company has entered into a transaction to acquire Bundok (an Australian proprietary limited company) which has rights to 7 gold and porphyry copper-gold projects in the Philippines. Completion of the Bundok Acquisition is subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent including Lindian Shareholder approval, completion of legal due diligence of the Philippines licences by Lindian and the Bundok shareholders accepting offers to be made to them by Lindian. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Bundok Acquisition will not complete. In this case, Lindian will continue to identify other resource projects for acquisition as well as continuing to develop its Dinguiraye Project in Guinea.
Mining and Exploration Risks
The primary business of the Company is exploration for, and commercial development of, mineral ore bodies, which is subject to the risks inherent in these activities. Its operations are still in the exploration and evaluation phase. The current and future operations of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including:
-
geological conditions
-
limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns
-
alterations to joint venture programs and budgets
-
unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in trenching, drilling, development, production and treatment activities
-
mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment
-
adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events
-
unavailability of drilling, mining, processing and other equipment
-
unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and labour
-
prevention of access by reason of political or civil unrest, outbreak of hostilities, inability to obtain regulatory or landowner consents or approvals
Lindian Resources Limited Prospectus
Page 14
-
terms imposed by government on development of mining projects including conditions such as equity participation, royalty rates and taxes
-
delays in completing feasibility studies and obtaining development approvals
-
risks of default or non-performance by third parties providing essential services.
No assurance can be given that future exploration will be successful or that a commercial mining operation will eventuate.
The ultimate success and financial viability of the Company depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable ore reserves, design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities, and competent operational and managerial performance. There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests held by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired by the Company in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited by the Company.
Development of a commercial mining operation is also dependent on the Company's ability to obtain necessary titles and governmental and other regulatory approvals on a timely basis.
Resource Estimations
Resources estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made.
Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company's operations.
Sovereign Risk
It should be noted that parts of the Philippines and Guinea have been the subject of civil unrest in the recent past. The Company believes that although tension has eased, civil and political unrest and an outbreak of hostilities remains a risk in the Philippines and Guinea which could affect the Company’s access to its Philippines project areas and Dinguiraye project and subsequent exploration and development.
Commodity and Currency Price Volatility
The Company's ability to benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. The world market for gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly.
Any revenues derived from any future mining will primarily be derived from the sale of the relevant commodity such as gold. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of the relevant commodity and the terms of any offtake agreements which it enters into.
Metal prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for metals, forward selling by producers and production cost levels in major mineral-producing regions. Metal prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the relevant metal as well as general
Lindian Resources Limited Prospectus
Page 15
global economic conditions. 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.
Commodities are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars, Philippine pesos and Guinea francs. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies and US dollars and/or adverse movements in commodity prices, 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.
Title
All of the tenements or licences in which the Company has or may earn an interest in will be subject to applications for renewal or grant (as the case may be). The renewal or grant of the terms of each tenement or licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority.
Additionally, tenements are subject to a number of government specific legislative conditions. The inability to meet these conditions could affect the standing of a tenement or restrict its ability to be renewed.
If a tenement or licence is not renewed or granted, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.
Changes in Government Policy
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation in the Philippines or Guinea and other jurisdictions in which the Company may operate from time to time affecting foreign ownership of mineral interests, taxation, profit repatriation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities may affect the operations of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in the Philippines or Guinea may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. In addition, there is a possibility that the Company’s agreements with governments or joint venture partners may be unenforceable against such parties.
Environmental
The Company's projects are or may be subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company's projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.
The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.
Lindian Resources Limited Prospectus
Page 16
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company's success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and management and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the metals and mining industry and the Company's ability to retain its key executives.
Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding
The funds raised by the Offer will be used to carry out the Company's objectives as detailed in this Prospectus and the Company’s announcements to ASX. The Company's ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects (existing and future), the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.
No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to further develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Lack of Infrastructure
The transportation and service infrastructure in the Philippines and Guinea is sub-standard and unpredictable. Material delays in the transportation of equipment, supplies and resources may delay the development of the Company’s projects. Any such delay is likely to increase the cost of developing the projects, and such increase may materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Competition
The Company competes with other companies, including major mineral exploration and mining companies. These companies will likely 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 downstream operations on these and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in other resource projects. Any such transactions would be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
Land Access - Philippines
Immediate access to mineral tenements in the Philippines cannot in all cases be guaranteed. The Company may be required to seek consent of land holders or other persons or groups with an interest in real property encompassed by, or adjacent to, the Company’s tenements. Compensation may be required to be paid by the Company to land holders in order that the Company may carry out exploration and/or mining activities. Native title exists in the Philippines and is governed by law. Where applicable, agreements with indigenous groups have to be in place before a mineral tenement can be granted.

4.3 General Risks
Securities Investments and Share Market Conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.
Economic Risk
Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, government policy and legislation, have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices, and the parameters in which the Company operates. Factors that may be beyond the control of the Company include:
-
general economic conditions in Australia and the countries in which the Company operates and, in particular, inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity supply and demand factors;
-
financial failure or default by a participant in any of the joint ventures or other contractual relationship to which the Company is, or may become, a party;
-
insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in its activities; and
-
industrial and landholder disputes.
These as well as other conditions can affect the Company’s future revenues and profitability and the price of its securities.
Legislative
Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practices and government policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.
Speculative Nature of Investment
The above list of risk factors is not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by Shareholders 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 securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities in the Company.

Transfer of Shares
Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable laws of Australia, and subject to any restrictions applicable to Shares which have been designated by the ASX as “restricted securities”, Shares are freely transferable.
Shareholder Liability
As Shares are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Board and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
Lindian Resources Limited Prospectus

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

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
6.1 Underwriting Agreement
On 18 February 2011, the Company and the Underwriter entered into the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriter agreed to underwrite the total amount of the Offer, being the Underwritten Amount. It is a condition precedent to the obligations of the Underwriter that it procures sub-underwriters as it thinks fit prior to the Closing Date of the Offer. The sub-underwriters will not be related parties of the Company.
The Underwriter must lodge or cause to be lodged applications for the Shortfall within 3 business days of receiving notice of the Shortfall from the Company.
The Company will pay the Underwriter a fee in respect of underwriting the Offer in an amount equal to 6% plus GST of the Underwritten Amount (that is, $104,588 being 6% of $1,743,139), exclusive of GST. The Underwriter is entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
The Underwriting Agreement imposes obligations on the Company including an obligation to offer the Shares in accordance with regulatory requirements. The Underwriting Agreement further contains various representations and warranties made by the Company to the Underwriter which are customary for an agreement of this nature.
As is normal for underwriting agreements of this nature, the Underwriter has a wide discretion to terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement on the occurrence of a number of events, which may occur before the issue or allotment of Securities to the Underwriter. Amongst the events is where a material and adverse change occurs in the financial position of the Company.
6.2 Relevant interest of Underwriter
The Underwriter currently has a relevant interest in 100,000 Shares and 33,334 Options (15 cent exercise price and 31 December 2011 expiry date) in the Company.
In the unlikely circumstances that all Shareholders (including Directors) decide to not take up their Entitlement and any sub-underwriters renege on their obligations to subscribe for Shortfall Shares and the Underwriting Agreement has not been terminated, the Underwriter would be issued with all the 21,789,237 Shortfall Shares and its relevant interest in Shares would represent approximately 33.49% at completion of the Offer and 15.06% after the proposed placement and issue of Shares to the Bundok Vendors. Shareholders are referred to section 3.2 of this Prospectus.
The Underwriter has informed the Company that on the facts and circumstances presently known to it, it is supportive of the Company's current direction.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that since it is presently supportive of the Company's current direction, it does not currently intend to make any major changes to the direction and objectives of the Company, and that other than as disclosed in this Prospectus, the Underwriter:
-
(a) does not currently intend to make any changes to the existing business of the Company;
-
(b) does not currently intend to inject further capital into the Company other than in underwriting the Offer and the placement referred to in section 3.2;

-
(e) does not currently intend to redeploy the fixed assets of the Company; and
